 Success Not So Good.
 Carl w. Thompson, Jr., son of former borough assessor and Mrs Carl Thompson of New street, was anxlously awaiting news of his model plane this morning and learning that sometimes the fruits of success are not so sweet of ar- ticipation paints them.
 Carl has been working for al- most half a year now trying to get a model plane which will work. He made one of his own design a few weeks ago and tried it out twice. It did not achieve what he hoped but he corrected its faults and again went out to Middlebury yesterday afternoon to try 1t. It has a real gasoline engine and has the name "Viking" on it with MT Thompson's name also.
 The first trial yesterday it went up for a minute and half and then slowly glided down, landing in tree. The paper on the wings was torn little, but Carl sent 1t u pagain. This time 1t exceeded his widest hopes.
 as, i'm f as, and achieved height of S,O00 feet. Then like a bird just discovering its ability to fly, it started going places. Carl and his brother, Phillip, jumped into an auto and tried to keep up but the. plane was going about 55 miles an hour and was soon out of sight, heading to- ward Prospect.
 Carl is anxious to have the plane returned and anyone notify ing him of its whereabouts Will receive a reward, he says. The body Is painted in Chinese red with yellow wings and trimming and lettering are in black. He wishes to use it in the Eastern States model plane meet in Newark N. J. next spring. He only hopes it did not crash in some woods. There was about enough gasoline for II minutes more flying in the craft. It is one of his own design.
 No Arrests Yet.
 AS vet perpetrators of the latest store break, that of Friday nigh: when Swans radio shop on Church street was robbed of $10 and Carl sons store entered, have not yet been caught. This makes seven breaks within the past few weeks and more than 10 breaks in the last two months. Some have suc- ceeded and others have not.
 The police have maintained veil of secrecy about some of the breaks until they become common knowledge. Saturday morning re- porters were informed there was "nothing doing" despite the fact the night before there had been two breaks. This despite the fact the press members two weeks pre- viously had known about a break, but refrained from publishing It until two days after it occurred so as not to hamper police efforts 10 capture the thief.
 Reicence on the subject does seem to have led to any resuits' Several weeks ago during series of breaks police arrested a youth thought responsible for one or them but the company involved re- fused to take any action against him.
 However the breaks have con- tinued and local business men nave found it does not pay to leave any money in their cash registers or around their stores. The breaks lately have all been in sections nolifed by regular officers.
 No big haul has yet been made' the largest being $50 from Mel' bourne's gas station more than a month ago. Many residents reel the times of policemen on the beats should be varied for it is an easy matter to learn just what time the officer passes a certain spot an" plan a break after that time. ~
 If this were varied occasiohaiIy the thieves might be caught. Ine two stores in the Friday night peat are less than 100 yards from the police station itself.
