in the conspiracy trial

Judge HeaIey's motion to withdraw

S. Johnston and Harry w. Minor
was made on September 80 and filed
in superior court October 2. 1t was
granted this morning. As yet, no
counsel have appear for Johnston
or Minor
An interesting angle to the appeal
to the Connecticut supreme court is
the fact that Superior Court Judge
Arthur F.. ELS, formerly of Water
bury, now of Litchfield, may take
his place on the supreme court
bench of Connecticut about the time
that the local appeals to the states
highest judicial tribunal are reach
&c, In that event the probability
arises that Judge Ellis, who succeeds
Justice George E. Hinmans OF Will
mantle, may disqualify himself from
passing on the Waterbury appeals
because of the fact that Judge ELS
was a practicing attorney IN Water
bury for many years prior to his
appointment to the Connecticut SUI
perior court. In the event that such
disqualification is made by Judge
Ellis, superior court judge may be
asked to "sit in" with four SUI
preme court justices to pass upon
the appeals taken by various de-
PENDANTS convicted of conspiracy in
Waterbury and sentenced, with one
exception, from two months in
county jail to 10 years in states

Friday, The 18th!
Even Political Candi-
dates Will Be Wary
Tomorrow--Watch
Your Step!

Political candidates, among
others, were getting ready to have
their fingers crossed tomorrow, for
it happens to be Friday, the 18th.
Republicans, Democrats and So
cialists were all reported ready to
90 into hiding, lest any misfortune
tomorrow spoil their chances for
the city election next Month.
Workers for the three parties
were under sealed instructions
calling on them to take down all
ladders and place all black cats
under lock and key Others were
busy rounding up four-leaf clovers
and horseshoes and bringing them
to the respective candidates
headquarters.
Others aside from the candi-
dates and their aides will tread
with careful step tomorrow, even
the fellow who says he doesn't
"believe in these silly superstitions"
For Friday the 18th by tradition
brings with it all manner of un-
pleasant things.
Some of the more superstitious
we're almost wishing today that
they were in Europe, so that they
would have bomb shelters to hide
in tomorrow.

SCHOOL LUNCHEONS
H ED IMPORTANT
School Authorities Should
Be Given Control Says
Miss Johnson

A school lunch supplying about
one-third of the daily food needs
and eaten leisurely in clean, pleas
ant surroundings becomes a social
educational and health factor in the
development of the school child and
Ia functioning part of the school pro-
gram, advised Helen johnson, nutri-
zionist, Bureau of Child Hygiene, III
the weekly broadcast of the State
Department of Health.
An adequate lunch for the school
child provides not only the require
ments for physical growth but also
an effective means of teaching the
essentials Of an adequate diet. Miss
johnson said. without guidance
children tend to buy foods they like
most and these may not be the i'm
portant foods required to meet the
body demands during this rapid
growth period. The lunch should in
clude milk in some form, fruit or
vegetable or both. one substantial.
food as a sandwich, egg Or cheese
dish and simple dessert.
The school should supply the en-
tire meal or at least supplement
the lunch for children who live toe
far away from school to return home
at noon, Miss johnson said. Pro-
vision should be made also for chill
dren who are unable to pay fol
their lunch as they may be the ones
most in need of nourisning food
Whatever the plan, standards should
| be established to correlate the school
lunch with the school health pro-
gram and all subjects pertaining to
health. knowledge thus gained
from study and discussion of tht
principles of good nutrition can
then be applied in the lunch room
through the selection of adequate
lunches.
Regardless of the sponsor the en-
tire control of the school lunch BY
school authorities was recommend
ed by Miss johnson. 1t should not
be run as concession to raise
money for other chool activities but
should be conducted. on non-profis
basis providing foods which give
full return in food value and a
lunch period of relation and enjoy
ment.
