Laun Sent To Jail
 On Assault Charge
Physical Director Found Guilty in Superior Court;
 Protested Innocence to Judge Booth

called the story of the complaining six-year old girl tale of "imagina- tion." The accused man rushed to the bench as soon as Judge Booth finished his pronouncement of guilt and made a dramatic plea protesting his innocence.
 Maintains Innocence
 When I heard the childs story" he stated, T said it sounds so true could almost believe it myself. But I'm not moron or a sex f1end. I've been teaching children to be clean and upright in mental hygiene classes. I never touched the child" He stumbled for words as he tensely appealed to the judge. When he fin ished Judge Booth replied, You have not told me thing you didn't say before. I was expecting some thing different"
 Tn imposing sentence, Judge Booth pointed out that under law 10 year term in prison could be imposed, but added that the of- fender was not the type of man considering his background and education who would benefit from such a confinement. He said What is slight punishment for some is severe to others" He said he was taking his previous character and reputation into consideration, and pointed out the effect of conviction on his future life. ''He will lose his position and he will lose his reputa- tion in the community" the judge stated.
 Before the sentence was imposed Atty. Albert Hummel asked Judge Booth for leniency in imposing sen- tence, stating the suffering Laun has already had could not be added to by court punishment.
 Testimony early yesterday after noon revealed that Laun had ad- mitted the crime August 12 when called into the states attorneys of- flee 8 second time to make state ment. The record of his statements was submitted as evidence by States Atty. William B. Fitzgerald. The defense explained his confes- sion by saying the man was trying bO JLOJCCI bIlc CIl1tO dk1Q LCIAlpOA dA1Ay said he would plead guilty in the hope of closing the questioning at the time and later trying to straight en the matter out himself. Judge Booth in finding him guilty said it was mot for a man of his intelli- gence to admit guilt under such circumstances and for such reasons.
 No Recommendation
 MT. Fitzgerald told the court Laun had no previous record and made no recommendations regarding the sen- tence.
 Witnesses heard yesterday after noon included Julia L. Roze, Anna w. Faber, Mary E. Congdon, Henry M. Cookson and William Schofleld.
 Launs job at Leavenworth will be filled by two YMCA physical di- rectors, Joseph Rimany and Edward Raedel. Several weeks ago Laun ob- tained leave of absence from the school department.
 A counsel for the defense was heard to comment a few minutes after the court adjourned "He got a break" He apparently was refer ring to the leniency of the sentence considering the man had been found guilty and could have received ten year sentence.

British Farm Wives Do Their Bit BY Baking Pies And Canning Jam
BY ROsETTE HARGROVE

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London = Knock off, lads, here comes the Pie Lady" is the well come word often heard in English harvest fields these days,
 The "Pie Lady" brings an earned respite-and a tasty snack-to farm hands and their outside workers, who often work until late at night In the fields.
 She represents the 'pie scheme" introduced by Lord Woolton, Brit lSh Minister of Food, and carried out by the National Federation of women's Institutes to provide res adents and workers in agricultural districts with extras to supplement regular rations.
 The pies are meat pies, made dby local bakers when it's feasible or by the village women when 1t is not. Some women make as many as 300 to 1000 pies week. They are paid around five cents a pie and all ingredients are sup piled through Ministry of Food channels.
 The "pie scheme" has worked out very we'll It aids country housewives who find it difficult, what with restrictions on trans port and house-to- house deliver les, to cater to their own families and surplus workers at harvest time. It is tremendously appre- ciated by the workers and the scheme is to be extended to work CTS on night shifts in factories and mining districts.
 AMERICAN WOMEN AID
 ENGLAND'S GAMERS
 The pie scheme is but one of many activities through which the Womens Institutes carry on a very important part of Britain's war effort among the small towns and villages.
 Take canning, for instance. As far back as 1940, Edith Walker, Agricultural Secretary of the h. stitutes, started planning her cam- paign for saving that summers fruits and vegetables. Thanks to the generosity of the women of Americas rural communities, who sent over canning machines through the International Red Cross, there is now one machine allotted to every county in Eng land. These are set up in lorries and w. V. s. units take them on a round of the $500 village centers. Local Institute members guaranS tee to have material and helpers ready at hand so that there is no delay, that the job gets done quickly and the machine is moved on to the next village.
 Last year 1,764 tons of jam, jel- lies, fruit, pickles and pulp were put up and distributed under the national rationing scheme. This year Britain's fruit crops have surpassed all expectations and it is believed that the amount pre- served by the nations women will far exceed the 1941 figure. Authorities expect to have enough jam and jelly alone to cover the yearly ration of 100000 people.
 Thare seems no limit to the &C., tivities of the 350,o00 women of the Institutes. With the village odd-Jcb man either called to the

work by the need of caring for farm and family can feel they are contributing to the national ef- fort.
 Still another village scheme is the curing and preparing of rab- bit skins for Innings. Some time ago thousands of warm cloth coats were sent to England by the people of Australia and New Zealand. These were handed over to the Women's Institutes who or ganized the village women into sew ing groups who lined the coats with rabbit fur. The extra-warm coats were then given to the hard-pressed men, women and children of Russia to help them through the cruel winter weather.

Boston, Oct. 22-To assist home owners and users of fuel oil or kero- sene in private dwellings to ontaln and fill out their applications TOT fuel oil rations, the Regional once of Price Administrator today an- nounced the following instructions:
 Every type of fuel oil, including kerosene, is now rationed. If you use fuel oil or kerosene for heating, cooking, hot water, lighting, power or farm equipment you must apply for rations on one of two forms: R- HOO or R-1103, or both.
 For domestic heating and hot wa ter in private dwellings Of three families or less, use Form R-llUO' For all other purposes in private dwellings, use Form R-llOS.
 If you have a regular fuel oil or kerosene dealer, he should supply you with the proper application forms. If you have not received your forms, or you have no regular dealer, you may obtain them from your local war price and rationing board or at schoolhouse registration places.
 Record of Size
 You should have record of the size of your fuel oil and kerosene tanks: the amount of fuel you used during the year ending May Sl, 1922. and the amount of oil or kerosene you had in your tanks on Oct. l. 1922. You will also be required to state how much fuel oil or kero- sene you purchased since Oct. l, i942.
 If you or your dealer has no record of the amount of oil or kero- sene you used last year, you must estimate 1t carefully from your own records. This is an important figure the board may use in determining your basic fuel oil or kerosene ra- ton.
 You must list and describe all oil or kerosene burning units used in your home.
 Measure the rooms in your house that are necessary to be heated for the current heating season. Take your measurements to the nearest foot. You should measure the floor area only and do not include the 1 following rooms unless heating such space is essential for sleeping or commercial purposes;
