plause from two men among the
spectators who packed the court
room. The two men, William Gard
ner, manager of the Presto-Lite
plant, and Murray Bunce, connected

Judge Thomas j. Heating sternly
rebuked the pair for their outburst
of enthusiasm within the courtroom

currence of such outbusts those
guilty would be sent to jail.
The one indictment on which
Kepler was freed was a joint count
involving larceny or false pretens-

CHILD WELFARE WORK
Children Not Being Removed From
Their Homes Because OF


Poverty ~
No children have been removed
from their homes by the CEildren's
Aid Society during the depression
because of poverty alone, according
to Miss Nellie Jean Beardsell, direc-
tor. To preserve home ties when
ever possible has been tue object OF
the society since it was organized in
1928.
This same policy has been recent
ly accepted as standard Tor child
welfare work throughout the nation.
Leaders assembled in Washington
for a Conference on Present Emer-
gencies in the care of Dependent and
Neglected Children" adopted re-
commentator to this effect. A
statement of principles accepted by
this group was received by tie local
agency and included the fo'iowlng:
1.-The principle that children
should not be removed from their
own homes by reason ii poverty
alone, should not be departed from
under the present unusual circum-
stances. Children of suitable par
ents, or deserving mothers, should
generally be provided for adequate
" in their own homes"
AS an illustration of how threat
ened homes may be held together IN
spite of poverty, Miss Bearlsell re-
lated the story of family which has
seen better days financially.
When the father deserted several
years ago, he left the mother with
four young children, and hand
some home heavily mortgaged.
Their resources were soon exhaust
ed, and even the money that result
ed from sale of the furniture gave
out quickly. Then one night their
home was destroyed by fire, and
kind neighbors, coming to the res
cue, helped establish them in ten
ant house near by. Last year floods
ruined their few remaining posses
sions.
The children, ill-fed and ill-cloth-
ed. lost interest in school. And the
mother could not insist; in her anx-
iety she no longer thought of her
ambitions for the children. The
fight had been reduced to providing
for their elemental needs.
Neighbors reported the plight OF
the family to the Maryland Child
ren's Aid Society. Some even sug-
gested that the children be removed
from the home and placed in an in
stitution. But the worker sent to
visit the family noted the great de-
votion between the children and
mother and knew that the family
unity was something valuable to be
preserved.
An allowance was granted the
mother in order that she might give
her children the necessary care.
Medical attention was provided.
With this aid, normal, ,'app5 living
is possible. incidentally, the Child
ren's Aid Society of Cecil County, a
branch of the Maryland's Children's
Aid, visits this family group and
helps out with problems that arise.
The mother said, after the child
rem had started back to school: at
is like having something re-
conciling myself to doing without
to have my boys in school like other
boys"

PROTEST AGAINST LIQUOR, Ii
CENSES
Colora. Md.
12-26-1933.

4S-6V-1
Board of License Commissioners
of Cecil County, Maryland.
Gentlemen:
l hereby make the following ex-
ceptions with reasons for same to
che granting of liquor licenses, re-
quests for which have been pub
lished in our county papers.
First--Cecil County has a long
reputation for it's dry attitude as ex-
pressed repeatedly by the popular
vote of the past twenty-five .ears at
least, and / refuse to admit has
changed that attitude because a
small proportion of the voters went
20 the polls ON September IL, ma
Jority of whom voted for repeal of
The 18th Amendment.
Second-As local option is provid-
ed for in the new law enacted to
regulate and control liquor sale,
here is no reason why our old law
should not stand until repealed by
popular vote.
Third-The lack of enforcement
Of provisions of the Beer law which
was passed out last spring satisfies
me that granting licenses will not
10 away with illicit traffic, but will
END to make more popular the
drink habit which is all to easily ac-
luired.
Fourth-The cost to the county
Of caring for the victims of The traf-
ic does not justify the granting of
licenses to sell more of the poison.
rhe County is at present time pay
ing for the care of children from
broken homes, some Of these in state
institutions for feebleminded or for
.ncorrigible. For their sakes / re-
rain from stating how many are
homeless because of drink. Some
are now in good homes where the
County is endeavoring to give them
chance to make good. We can
lot afford to place temptation in
heir way any more than we can at
lord to place it willingly in the way
Of those who are fortunate enough
20 enjoy the protection of their own
homes.
t1fth-We cannot afford to grant
OFF Sale" licenses because of the
nomes of our county. Where is the
beverage to be consumed? Surely
not in the cars travelling our high
ways. Nor in disreputable dens,
called by whatever names you will.
Where else if not in the homes?
When my visits to families in dis
cress take me to homes where the
mothers are so terribly discouraged
because of the weakness of their
husbands that they feel they cannot
stand it any longer, have very little
sympathy for advocates of temper
perance who teach anything but
Total abstinence.
Sixth-We cannot afford to have
a group or even few people in our
county licensed to carry on a bust
ness. which does not make better
husbands, fathers sons and even
which brings only dis
Gress to mothers, wives and children,
and which decreases the efficiency OF
Doth laborers and business men.
l warn our County Commissioners
to give this matter most careful
before granting any
such licenses.
Sincerely,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1934-01-12

a slight decline was reported in the
official estimate of steel ingot pro-
duction for the week at 45.7 per cent
of capacity. trade reports indicated
a more cheerful outlook. following set
tlement Of the automobile strike.
Orders from automobile nanufac-
turers which had tapered of recov-
cred rapidly and heavier demand from
railroads continued. The further ad-
vance of 10 per cent in wages an
nounced by most of the mills created
the impression that rises in steel

quotations and pig iron were un-
changed for the week.
Reports that the draft of the code
for the copper industry was nearing
completion brought in little better
inquiry for copper with prices holding
steady at the basis of 8 cents for

Tin advanced almost a cent per
pound in sympathy with frmness at
London. A good demand for lead
continued but prices remained un-
changed. Zinc declined $1.50 per ton
during the week. Anthony main
tanned recent advances.
