uTCHFIELD MAN
 DRAWS $lOO FINE
$50 Reunited for Joseph COurture on Drunken
 Driving Allegation

Joseph A. Courture, g, of Maple street, Litchfleld, arrested last night on Watertown avenue by Motor Pa trolman John J. Murphy, was fined $l00 without costs of which $50 was remitted by Judge T. E. Conway in municipal court today. He pleaded guilty to charge of operating an automobile while under the infiu- ence of liquor.
 Probation Officer Stephen A. Ho- mick interceded in behalf of the accused by informing Judge Conway that Courture came to this city four months ago from Vermont.
 Speaking for the accused, the pro- bation officer said the defendant was the father of three children and is working on a dairy farm in Litch- field where he received $85 & month plus lodging and other expenses.
 Because of the extenuating cir cunstances presented, Judge Con- way remitted half of the fine and placed the accused on probation for three months in order to make the payments.

despite cold weather, icebergs, and polar bears. The proximity of the Gulf Stream and the volcanic or- igin of the island, with its many hot springs, undoubtedly account for the warmth of the water at all times.
 Daddona says he has put on considerable weight while he has been in Iceland. Perhaps the box of cookies which his parents re- gently sent him, and which he said were "the best he ever tasted partly accounts for this tendency.

RADIANT LIVING
LOTS WIFE NOT CURIOUS
By Rkv. G. M. GR1FFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. Ceellton, Md.


When did you last read of the
escape of Lots wife from the burn
ing city of Sodom? Do YOU moi
remember how she warned when
fleeing for her life not to look
back?
Yet IN spite Of this warning, she
suddenly glanced back over her
shoulder and Immediately turned
into a pillar of salt.
We have always been told that
the reason Lots wife looked back
was because she was very cur
ious woman.
But this is not So
If she had been of such dis
position, would she not have been
Just as curious to know where the
strange men were hurrying her?
She already knew what lay be-
hind, and that was why she looked
back.
The reason she looked back was
because there was something back
there in that city which she did
not want to leave. She was fearful
as to what might happen to it.
There was something in her heart
that was akin to the spirit of the
licentious city from which she did
not want to be wrenched away by
the urgency of these interfering
angels.
BY her backward look she re-
vealed her perverted nature. By
her backward look she demon
strated the fact that she was not
fitted for that wholesome living
which is typified by the pure air
and glorious sunshine of those
God-filled mountains toward which
she was being hastened.
By her backward look she proved
that she had not in spirit left the
wicked city. Her body got no
further than her mind was willing
to go.
To break away from the habits
of sinful living man must reso- |
lutely set his back upon such hab-
It's. He must also Just as. deter
set his face like a flint
steadfastly toward the mountains
Of higher living.
Radiant is the man who has fed |
the city of sinful living and has
reached the purity, the grandeur.
the freshness, and the invigoration
of the mountains of God.
