PROBATION FOR ACCUSED YOUTHS

Absence of any previous records today won probation for two IT, year old boys charged with stealing an automobile. Judge John L. Calf ney in city court gave 60-day con- tinuances to Salvatore LaRosa, of 115 Locust street, and Hayden Brown, of 37 Lamont street, who were arrested Saturday in Athol, Mass. while driving a car which had been stolen from Union street here.
 The boys were halted when Athol police became suspicious. A check up showed that the car was owned by Edmund Diana, of 30 Kenyon street. Detective-Lieuts. Edward McElligot and Joseph Bendler went to Massachusetts town and brought the pair back to Waterbury.
 Attorney Henry W. Minor, who was appointed by the court to act as guardian, suggested that the cas- es be investigated by the probation officer. Judge Gaffney granted the 60-day continuances, freeing the two youths in custody of Probation Of- ficsr Philip Bernstein.

Local Now
 At Plattsburg, N. Y.
 For Big Maneuvers
Large Crowd in Evidence for Farewells- Uncertainty of Period of Service Creates Tension; Troops
 in Excellent Spirits

police were necessary to keep order. This was send-off far different from those which the guardsmen have been accustomed to in past years, on their departure for the annual games. Despite attempts to make the occasion seem light hearted one, there was certain tension in the air, as everyone won- dered if the men would return in three weeks, when the maneuvers are completed, or whether they would be ordered to active duty, in the face of the national emergency.
 Many of the local guardsmen att tended the special mass celebrated at the Immaculate Conception church at o'clock by Rev. Francis M. O'Shea, before their departure. So great was the interest of the crowd that many outsiders tried to get into the church to attend the service, but were told by police that the service was for soldiers only. A double line of spectators watched the guardsmen march from the armory, where they drew up their ranks, to the station. Food supplies for the men were loaded aboard, and it was not until 4:30 that Lieuten- ant Colonel Thomas Horrigan could give the order for the train of 12 coaches and baggage cars to start. The Torrington guardsmen had an even longer trip to make than did the local contingent, as they were already aboard when the train reached Waterbury. Other compan- ies were to be picked up along the way. Most of the sixteen-hour trip was to be made by train, and only the last leg of the journey was scheduled to be by truck.
 Waterbury's detachment of 395 men and officers are among the 4,3O0 from this state who will parti- cipate in the maneuvers. By tonight there will be approximately 100000 members of the national guard, the regular army, and the reserves at the temporary camp in northern New York state. The first few days of the three week period will be de- voted to work in small groups, and fundamental training and field ex- ercises. Then battalion and regi- mental problems will be taken up, and gradually larger units will come into play. The actual war games, between the Black and the Blue armies, will take place toward the end of the training period. from August 19 to p. For this phase of the operations, the troops will spend four days and nights in the field.
 The army will send most of its 400 tanks to the camp for use in the maneuvers, but there will still be striking shortage of guns and equipment of all sorts. Trucks are to be used to represent tanks, and observation planes will take the place of bomberS.
 Mail for the guardsmen should be addressed with the soldiers name and rank, his units name and num- Der, the regimental number, should be marked A. P. O. 43, Canton, N. Y. In emergencies, individual SOL diers can best be reached through the commanding officers of regi- mental chaplains.

Some weeks ago we reported that men around this township were sometimes worried about their womanfolks knitting small garments. We straightened every body cut who didn't dare ask by reporting these garments as the result of Red Cross effort to clothe the refugees in foreign lands where the men folks quit farming and took up fighting for a living. Our women have been mighty busy lately and now we have a evidence to prove that they can knit or sew with any flock of women anywhere. Mrs. Paul c. Darrot dressed up a pair of dolls to show how real kids would look with southhury -knitted-and-sewed garments. One doll wears e knit ted outfit, the other has e layout that Is sewed. According to the Red Gross women. these outfits are called "Layettes".

Maybe you remember Transyl- vania? Maybe you've been rolling along that road when the mist churned over Pennsylvania Pond and the wild geese honked close to earth under a low ceiling? Maybe you've seen George Tschauder, one of our better known politicians, pitching off hay or saving wood at Pennsylvania? ? George operates the farm up there when he isn't talking soil conser- vatiron or the superior qualities of Massachusetts limestone. Any way, Pennsylvania is a swell piece of country and newspapers better go easy reporting any transfer of the ownership. We'll order out the Paradise Rifles to crimp any change in the nationality of Pennsylvania.

 While we may get our cats mixed-up now and then, we've been careful about geography. Just the other evening our folks got a terrible scare because of the carelessness of another news paper. That sheet hammered a dizzy headline that "TRANSYL- WANNA WILL BE CEDED BY RUMANIA" .. Gosh, that just set our folks back on their launches, because Pennsylvania is right here in the back yard and it locked for a minute as if the Europeans had run out of small countries to distribute to Hitler, Uncle Joe, and company and were starting in on our acreage.
 Pennsylvania Is really that chunk of country around the junction of Conn. 67 and Conn. TYP. Some folks call it Pine Tree" It never belonged to Ru- mania and it never will be ceded to anybody as long as Miss Jeanie Pierce survives. The Pierce fam fly has owned that area since the first Pierce trekked in here with a long rifle and kitSack and made his pitch. Whether the first Pierce bought, traded, or won in a raffle, that land belongs to Yankees now.
