and domestic science.
Leadership
And yet again the young peoples
bands supply an outlet for mind and

For later and more serious minded

nifty Of study over several years,
from which emerge not only the
Army's future teachers and preach
ers but well-baianced zaits of So

of right mental, physical and spirit

against the degenerating and disin-

Crime prevention work done by
the Salvation Army In this state and
nation was the subject Of q broad
cast address yesterday by Adjutant
Hugo Wiberg, commanding, the local
corps Of the organization. Hart
ford, Conn, was the first community
In the U. 8. A, Adjutant Wiberg
said, to inaugurate the prison service
work Of the Salvation Army some 40
years ago. Now all state and county
prisons are visited regularly by the
prison service throughout Connecti-
cut. The families Of prisoners are
made the subject of special investi-
CATION and hundreds Of prisoners
are released on parole to the Saliva
ton Army.
Important Facts
"The attorney general of the .. =.
A. recently examined the prison work
of the Salvation Army, and at that
time was interested to know II en-
phasis was laid on rehabilitation OF
criminals or upon the prevention OF
crime. Both fields Of service are COW
cred by the Salvation Army's work.
The Importance Of regeneration OF
the ex-prisoner is recognized. No less
SO is prevention work: the Arrny'S
entire program impresses moral Is
sues upon the plastic mind OF youth.
Our work for young people leads
away from delinquency and what
later without our work might de-
velop into crime"
Outlining the services for youth
provided by the Salvation Army, Ad-
jutant Wiberg said that for the four
and five year old there Is the sand
tray class of the Sunday school,
where the youngsters become ac-
uuainted with the heroes Of Bible
stories. For the six to eight year old
there is the junior legion with Its
adaptation Of hands, minds, eyes and
ears to worthwhile detectives. For
the eight to twelve year old we have
the elementary scout program Of
the Chums and Sunbearns.
The Boy Scout and Girl Guard
program Is offered to the young peo-
pie between twelve and eighteen.
This provision is valued by anyone
who has studied q police chart, show
ing the appalling rise Of the curve
in juvenile delinquency as being
highest for the leisure hours Of the
young. In many cities the Army also
has boys clubs organized for boys
between 10 and IS years Of age. Just
the other day a new boys club build
ing was dedicated In the south end
Of Boston, for which funds had been
given by the Hayden foundation.
President Hoover was present
and made the principal address.

Theft CHARGES
Joseph NOOnan Of Bridge
port Arraigned in Supe-
riOr Court Here

Joseph Noonan Of Bridgeport. .
supervisor on the P. w. A. job at
the new state hospital at southbury
was arraigned before Judge Carl
Foster In the Superior Court this
morning on four counts Of stealing
building material from the Job on
which he was working.
On request Of his counsel, Samuel
Rich Of Bridgeport, has case was
continued until the fall criminal
term Of the court.
Noonan was notified TO appear In
the local court at today's session by
state police yesterday.
The stealing Of building material
on the Southbury job has been ru-
mored for several weeks and the
state police are known to have been
conducting q thorough investigation
in the case. Several Of the work
men on the Job are said to have
been questioned and 1t is very pos
sible that additional arrests will
follow.
Atty. Rich stated this morning
in asking to have the case contin-
ued that there were several mat
tiers in connection with the arrest
Of his client which will fave to be
thoruhgly investigated and that In
view Of the existing conditions the
trial should be delayed until inves-
tigationS now going on are COM
pleted.

Three Arrested in COnnec-

DeFloria, 10, OF 624 Bank street, and
Ruben Maran, 20. Of ATS Cherry

According TO State Trooper Nelson,
the thefts were committed three
weeks ago but the boys were not ar
rested until yesterday when they
returned to secure wire which they
had left In q clump Of bushes near

Some American Aid
For Europe's Children
Being Considered
Hull, Red Cross Head
And Lamont Confer
With President
~ the Associated Press.

A measure of American aid for
hungry European children this
winter was receiving extended con-
sideration today, following White
House conference attended by high
Government and Red Gross officials.
Informed quarters declared large
scale shipments of food to inhabi-
tants of German-occupied countries
were not even considered, but said
the discussions centered on a pro-
posal to ship milk, medicines and
similar supplies for the benefit of
children in certain parts of the
continent. Unoccupied France and
Spain appeared most likely to
benefit if the discussions resulted
In action.
British authorities, it was pointed
out. might be inclined to relax the
continental blockade if assurances
were given that limited shipments
OF canned milk and kindred supplies,
for use Of children only, would be
dispensed under strict supervision
OF the Red Cross.
Present at the meeting with
President Roosevelt yesterday were
Secretary of State Hull, Chairman
Norman Davis of the American Red
Cross and Thomas w. Lamont, New
York banker.
Mr.. Davis said afterward that they
had reviewed the whole problem of
European relief, but that no de-
cisions were reached and none was
imminent. They discussed, he said,
what ought to be done and what
Is being done"
Mr.. Lamont, who said he repre-
sented no relief organization, but
was interested in the problem, added
that they considered what ought to
be done if it can be done"
This was taken as a reference to
the question of whether British
authorities would agree.
