 Atty. Max Schwartz explained that his client was throwing him. self on the mercy of the court, and pleaded for leniency inasmuch as he thought Cerosuolo had been penalized sufficiently for his of- fense Judge Gaffney replied that too much leniency would merely encourage the mans misdeeds, and he imposed the sentence of $l00 fine and suspended jail sentence.

HOSPITAL PLANS
 MOREEQUIPMENT
Plasma-Making Facilities Being Installed; !; Dr. J.L.
 Hetzel in Charge

Plasma making equipment has been delivered to the Waterbury hos- pital after 6 long delay due to priority considerations, according to an announcement made by Dr. Joseph L. Hetzel, chairman of the project. The local blood bank and plasma reserve service Is expected to be put in operation in the near fu- ture.
 Dr. Hetzel, who was placed in charge of the work by the Medical Defense Council, states the equip ment will be installed at the hospital as soon as trained personnel is se- cured. A nurse technician of the local hospital will be assigned to special training for the work, he said. Drs. Joseph o. Collins, John Prior and c. H. Cole of the hospital staff are assisting Dr. Hetzel.
 The supply for the blood bank will be obtained from local donors, and when the project is operating at full capacity 1t is believed there will be available a unit of plasma for each hospital bed.
 Originally plans were made for es- tablishment of a dry plasma center, but since all facilities for making dry plasma have been turned over to use of the armed forces plans were changed to allow for use of plasma in frozen form.
 Under the system blood will be available for use in transfusions at once. Supplies of typed blood will be set up and replaced as they are used.

years Of homeless wanderings Is 1t
any wonder that "the common peo-

so obviously one Of themselves?
Ch.ldhood's Best Friend.
This Bethlehem-born Boy never
lost His sense Of understanding Of
childhood, and His fellowship with
little children. Even after He be-
came a busy. famous Teacher, they
felt free to cling to His robe and to
hold His hand-sometimes to the
scandal Of convention -encrusted
adults.
The whole world Of childhood has
been the recipient Of this spirit Of
Jesus. He knew, and we are learn
ing after Him, that the child Is
more than an undeveloped adult;
that he is personality. and po-
tent factor in all the affairs of the
world. The child's qualities, said
Jesus. are characteristic of the
Kingdom Of God. Blessed are they
who live in the radiance of sur
rounding childhood.
Jesus was born in one small town,
and grew to maturity in another;
the big city crucified Him Both
Bethlehem and Nazareth today, and
penitent Jerusalem, too. are crowd
ed with lavish memorials of the Boy
and Man whom they never under
stood or appreciated in His lifetime.
A Small Town Boy.
In the simplicity of small-town
life, Jesus grew to maturity, and
into favor with God and man
Hill-girt Nazareth was an ideal
place for the Boy. He ranged its
slopes-I once took q photograph
Of the town from a hillside cave
where doubtless he once dallied and
dreamed-He PLAYED its games, He
did the conventional home chores
and He watched the imperial process
sion Of cosmopolitan life pass Naza-
reth's doors. on the way from Da.
mascus to Jerusalem and the port
cities. He learned Joseph's trad.
as carpenter; and when Joseph dice
He doubtless succeeded to the re-
sponsibility for the family.
Engrossed in these common ways
Jesus yet had a life apart, in COM
munion with the Father whose viii
He had come to do. Who can un-
derstand the long. long thoughts
Of any boy: much less of this Ont
who early knew Himself to be or
the highest mission of all?
Unlike most of us, Jesus did no
lose the fine qualities of childhood
its simplicity, its faith, its friendli.
ness, its expectations-as He grew
into maturity. Most of US do. J

Of tho community's boys and GIRLS

adults. Those Rotarians were evi.
dently satisfied with themselves!
Nevertheless, I still feel that most
manhood does not fulfill the promise
Of youth. We have potentially great
boys without number; but some
where along the years they lose the
"gleam" and become undistinguished
members of the herd.
The Boy Jesus Is forever the ex-
emplar of the life that kept on
growing to the greatest end.
