to the state supreme court. Mr..
Jansen was convicted during the
spring term of court for aiding
and abetting old age pension re-

friends that he was always a high

has never shirked his duties as

that a birth certificate could not

sworn affidavits from businessmen
from Greenwald, who vouched for

Supervised Swimming
Periods and Sports Will
Feature Program

Sank Centres summer recrea-
tional program, with some new
wrinkles, goes into its third year
with the official opening Of the City
Park beach next Monday, June IL,
supervisors Mr.. and Mrs. Gene Har-
vey announced today. The program
gets its sponsorship from the City
Council and the Board of Educa-
ton.
Supervised swimming periods will
begin at 200 o'clock Monday and
continue until 500. From two to
five will be the only supervised
period each day, it was announced.
For this first week, of the eight
weeks program, only swimming
supervision will be the program.
Other phases of the activity will
not get underway before another
week, Harvey said, and a complete
schedule of events for both boys
and girls will be published weekly
in the Herald.
New in the setup this year is the
active backing given by the We'll
fare Council to Mrs. Harvey's girl
program. They have aided in Sc
lecting volunteer leaders to help
with this phase of the work that
has been so handicapped in the
past two years by lack of super
visors. Mrs. Harvey announced
that twelve high school girls have
volunteered to help with the young
er girls program. For the older
ones a series of hobby courses will
be chosen in wide-interest subjects.
WPA recreational leaders Ray
Steir and Clarence Dickinson will
again dovetail their program into
the city-wide unit. Additional help
in Elizabeth Brown, as WPA lead
er, will aid in the girls work. 1T
is possible this year with volunteer
leaders to extend the program quite
extensively" Harvey pointed out.
For the boys midget baseball will
probably take the spotlight as the
most popular event outside of swim
ming. Glasses will start in Red
Cross swimming instruction later,
Harvey announced.

handful of issues managed to finish
on the upside. Transfers approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
Brokers, always hunting for a
scapegoat, were disposed to put the
blame for the downward slant partly
on renewed apprehension over for
eign affairs, principally the Far
Eastern British-Japanese crisis
which, some feared. might conceiv-
ably involve the United States if
not adjusted soon In addition,
thought was given the latest Ger
man-Slovak developments, with the
idea these had the makings of new
European explosion Securities at
London dipped, steadied at Amster-
dam and were irregular in Paris.
On the home front hopes persisted
for constructive congressional action
on tax revision. railway relief legis-
lation and other measures advocated
as stimulants for industry. Business
news. on the whole, was still fairly
promising.
Sporadic efforts to revive share
prices met with scant success and
