|JITNEY PLAYER

Charles Howard of Mam- OrOneCk Patient at Wa

Charles Howard, one of the four members of the New Jitney Players Inc. who were injured yesterday morning when their automobile skidded and overturned at South bury, was reported in good condi- ton at the Waterbury hospital to- day. MT. Howard, who lives at 1912 Parkway, Mamaroneck, N. Y., was admitted to the hospital with lac erated left wrist and head injuries.
 Hospital authorities said the play CTS performed at New Britain Tues day night and were enroute to Maryland where they were sched- uled to present a play last night. The other three players were treated at the hospital and discharged.
 Veranda Wrecked
 A large State Highway depart ment truck operated by Peter Ang- elestro of 337 Hamilton avenue crashed into and wrecked a large veranda on the front of the Ritz Grill on the Meriden-Waterbury highway, opposite Dickerman's cor- ner in Milldale yesterday morning. Brick work on the ends of the ver- anda, posts and timbers were de- molished by the crash, and it was estimated that the damage would run between $250 and $500. Angel estra suffered a sprained wrist
 According to Patrolman Walter Hushak of the Southington police, Angelestro failed to stop at stop sign near the junction of the Chesh- ire road to Hartford. Driving at 8 good rate of speed the driver lost control of the truck when he made the turn into the Cheshire road, and shooting across the Meriden- Waterbury highway, crashed into the verAnda of the Ritz Grill on the North side of the road.
 Patrolman Hushak summoned Angelostro to appear in the South ington Police court to answer to a charge of violation of the rules of the road, and permitted him to re- turn to his home.

Pathetic Case! 12-Year Old Child Taken From Grand \ Mother by Courts
 Ord CT.

A little girl in a blue snow suit. the hood drawn tight above her tear-stained facA was the prin- cipal witness in a case before Judge Edward Mascolo. heard in chambers this morning.
 With one-word replies to the questioning of the judge concern ing charges that her grandmoth- CT, struck her with a shoe, a pocketbook, caused her to scream at night" the child paved the way for a new life in the charge of some foster parents by way of the children's home commission of the local welfare department.
 Sobbing that she was sorry she had struck the child for whom she has cared since she was a small baby, the grandmother presented a pathetic appeal that she be returned to her. But the preponderance of evidence was that the little one sometimes was abused and Judge Mascolo ac- ceded to request of investigators that the child be cared for other wise.
 Under questioning by the judge. her replies almost inaudible through tears for the most part, she related that she was in the third grade, showed pride that she was passing" in her studies. She didn't scream at night" she related, although this was part of the cause which provided the charges against her grandmother.
 It was not the first time that the home-life of the child and her grandmother had come under scrutiny of the law. In the past, evidence was presented that she sometimes was subjected to harsh punishment. The background of the case is sordid, the girls par ents having raised a family un- der squalid circumstances in a Litchfield county community. She waded through small pond daily on her trips back and forth to school.
 Most of the time, however, she has been cared for by the grand mother, now separated from a much older husband. The grand mother was released in custody of her lawyer, Attorney A. Henry Weisman.
 A new home will be found for the child by Miss Kathleen Crow ley, probation officer, in coopera- tion with the children's home commission, according to plan. AL ready there are those who would be glad to undertake her care but the matter must proceed in the formula of legal route.
 Meanwhile, arrangements will be sought whereby the girl some times can see her grandmother, who, after all, has the child's af- lection most of the time, the evi- dence showed.
 Detective Lieutenant Henry Johnson was a witness of the in- juries the child sustained through punishment. Attorney Charles R. Summa presented the case and questioned several neighbors who appeared as witnesses.

BUSINESS BETTER.
 SAYS OFFICIAL
Salada Tea Enjoys Satis- factory Year - Quality
 Determining Factor

Consistent newspaper advertis- ing, coupled with unusually high quality of Salada Tea and the fine efforts of our sales force, are largely responsible for our very satisfac- tory sales increases this year." This statement was the keynote of a talk given by Edgar Pinto, vice president and general manager of the Salada Tea Company, speaking at the sales convention held on Friday, Dec. 30, at the company's headquarters building in Boston.
 Ever since the company was or- ganized in 1892, it has grown in rapid strides until now it occupies most enviable position in the tea trade. The business was founded on the idea that there was definite consumer demand for a fine quality tea in 8 handy package form. With this idea as foundation, the sales of Salada Tea progressed steadily. Through all these years, during good times and bad times, Salada Tea has maintained newspaper adver- Using as the backbone of its sales and merchandising policy.
 Although enthusiasm seemed to center around the successful sales achievements of the past year, there was a distinct atmosphere of genuine optimism for the coming year. It was announced that again in 1889, newspapers had been se- lected to carry the Salada messages to consumers and that the number of papers to be used would be sub- Stantially increased.
 Included among the other officials of the company in attendance at the convention were Norman J. Holmes, general sales manager and H. G. Harris, New England branch sales manager.

TRAIN CUTS BIG
 TRUCK IN TWO

Reading, Mass, Jan. 12-(UP)- The Gull. crack express train speed ing at 70 miles an hour, sliced a huge fruit truck in half at a grade crossing here today-but the driv- CT was unhurt.
 Fruit and wreckage were scat- tered for 100 yards along the Boston 6 Maine railroad tracks as the loco- motive of the train, enroute from Halifax, N. S., to Boston, ploughed through the van.
 The driver, Peter Cantwell, 35, of Dorcester, told police that after crashing through the gates, he had stopped on the tracks and got- ten out of the truck to see what damage he had caused. Then, see- ing the oncoming train for the first time, he jumped to safety.
