Spurning brilliant career

receive her.
Accompanied. by her mother
and father and a host of friends,
Florence Yocum. noted local
soprano, left her home in the
1900 block Newton st. N. E. to-
day for the Franciscan convent
in Glen Riddle, Pa. The party
drove in three automobiles.
Prior to the departure, the "a
year-old singer attended mass
and received Holy Communion
at the Immaculate Conception
Church where for the past three
years she had been a SololSt.
Audience Weeps
The mass was attended by
more than 200 friends and rela-

ing the ceremonies, particularly
when there was singing, the
audience wept audibly.
Miss Yocum was dressed in a
simple black garb of crepe, with
black shoes and hat to match.

Jobless Man Returns $62
To Loser; Gets No Thanks

Michael Harris is wondering
these days whether being a
modern Diogenes is sufficient COM
pensation for losing ones faith
in Santa Claus.
An unemployed electrician who
hasn't had a steady job for three
year, Harris stepped into a
downtown drug store bright and
early New Year Day and went
into telephone booth. He was
just about to drop in his nickel
when he noticed a new shiny
pocketbook. 49,.
Harris did the human thing,
and opened it. But he also did
something some people might
think is not so human. When he
found the owners name and ad-
dress in the purse, he turned it
over to a clerk in the store, even
though it contained $62 in cash.
Has Wife and Baby
Harris has a wife and 2-year-old
son whom he has been struggling
to support throughout the lean
years since 1929, but that didn't
deter him from being an honest
man. Besides, he wanted to start
the New Year right, he said today.
But the catch in the story is this
that even though he played the
Good Samaritan and restored the
pocketbook to the lady, who lives

WATSON PLAN
BRANDED AS
ILLEGAL
DiScontinuanCe Seen Likely;
Five Released From Extra
Work Sentence

Forcing members of the District
Fire Department to work extra
hours without pay as a penalty for
infractionS of department rules
probably will be discontinued. it
was indicated today at the Dis
trict Building.
A report which challenged the
right of the trial board to impose
such a penalty was filed yesterday
with Melvin C. Hazen, president
of the Board of District Commits
sioners, by Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride.
Brides informal report said the
penalty has no basis in law. AS
result extra-hour sentences now
being served by five firemen were
suspended by George S. Watson,
chief engineer of the Fire De-
partment.
Bride was asked for the report
after suit was filed in District
Supreme Court on behalf of Pri.
Vate Charles Comegy, challenging
the right of the trial board to i'm.
poe extra duty.
