VISIT TO SCHOOL
 CHANGES JUDGE
Impressed By Altitude of Youngsters; Finds New ::
 Environment Inspiring :

Judge Theobald E. Conway of the city court is changed man today. By the judges own version of the matter, however, the change is one which provides a considerable re- lief to his retrospection of court matters after he has sent some youngster to the Connecticut State School for Boys at Meriden.
 Reason is that the judge, with Miss Kathleen Crowley, probation officer, and other interested Wa- terburians, made 8 trip to inspect the school yesterday. -
 T was amazed at the change in some of the boys who had appeared in court" he remarked today. When I had seen them last they wore sullen, hangdog looks. They didn9 appear like the makings of good citizens"
 But at the school at Meriden, the judge continued, those same boys had a bright look about them" They appeared interested in their daily life at the school, which, ac- tually, appears just like well- endowed private academy, with cot tages for the groups of youngsters, an assembly hall, and various de- partmental buildings. :
 Judge Conway confessed that he had questioned sometimes in the past the advisability of sending boys to the school. His visit there yester-, day has convinced him that the school can be the making of many a recalcitrant boy whose appearance in court often derived through as- sociation with older evil companions, or home conditions of bad char acter. 7
 Judge Conway paid especial trub-r ute to Superintendent Roy Me Laughlin of the state school for boys. who, he said, is "a remarkable man." The superintendent is the friend of every one of the 270 boys, knows them all by their first names, or nick-names. the judge related.
 A visit to some of the cottages last evening revealed that the boys have opportunity to spend consid- erable time with hobbies, which in clude making of toys, working on mechanical gadgets and many an- other recreational pursuit.
 The local city court judge went to Meriden primarily to see how the boys sent over from Waterbury are getting along. He remained longer than ordinarily planned, making an extensive survey of the school de- partments and visiting at the cot- tages where the boys make their homes during the stay at the school.
 The, school ds for boys under 16 years Nof age who come before courts. or juvenile authorities in the state, and investigation of their cases results in decision that they should have changed environment.

 It was gratifying to have such an attendance, indicating that the an- nual birthday party of the Com munity Club, which will be held Thursday, March 9th, m the parish hall, of St. Michael,s church, will undoubtedly sllrpass all previous anniversaries, and that all residents of Fairmount are enthusiastically awaiting this event.

out to be an ex-steel worker from Gary, Ind.
 Eighty thousand Albanians went to the United States between 1885 and 1914. They went mainly for political reasons, to escape the Bal kan wars, the bloody insurrection of 1905, or the devastation of the country in 1914.
 But now civil conditions are more normal under King Fog, and at least 50,000 of them have returned to their native land, usually to marry Albanian women. Thus in a typical two-room village house, the lime-washed walls decorated with the traditional one-color frieze, the furniture may consist of a low ta- ble at which the meals are served in the Turkish fashion, cushions. rugs, ancient bronze coee urns, and heirloom guns, but there will also be an American radio, American Christmas calendars, and couple of gangster novels. FADING FEUDS
 The traditional blood feuds now occur rarely, and the police break them up as fast as they can. But every family still has its tales of such feudS that occurred a genera tion ago.
 Albanians know that the Italians covet part of their coast on the Adriatic, but they believe their country is unconquerable. They kept even the Turks to a mere fringe around the edges of the country, and they have never been conn., pletely conquered by any of the se- ries of conquerors who have swept over the Balkans since the earliest times.
 There is a distinct leaven of Americanism in Albania. Young AL Ebanians, though they do not wish to go to America, initiate Ameri- can ways in many respects. A young school teacher explained, We can learn nothing from Europe except how to get into trouble. In America we see the example we should like to follow"
 The Albanians who have returned from the United States are heartily in sympathy with this "Americani- zation," though most of them are now of the older generation. They look back on their life in the United States (and the size of their pay checks) with yearning. Some of them speak of returning, but it is obvious that they do not really want to. What they really prefer is life in Albania, with a few American comforts and ideas thrown in.
 The jump from patriarchal, feudal society to a modern one in a single generation is a big task. To the present generation goes the task of adapting themselves to the modern world without losing the in dependence and strength that is
