Boy Refugee Urges
 Western War Front
Youth Writes to Foster Parent Chase KmbaII in
 Favor of Action on Part of Allies

The immediate opening Of a western front now was urged yes- terday by Enrique Gonzalez. four teen year old Spanish refugee boy, in a letter to his foster parent, Chase Kimball. prominent Water bury attorney, 1t was announced by Mrs. Edna Blue, executive chair man of the Foster Parents Plan for War Children. American headquar- ters of the Plan are at 55 West 42nd Street, New York City.
 The boy wso was evacuated from Spain during the Civil War went through the air raids in Spain as well as in England. The house where he lived in England was bombed and destroyed.
 Excerpts from his letter to MT. Kimball follow: T think 1t would be good idea if you would take the offensive in the west of Europe to open up a second front to occupy German troops to relieve Russia. DO you consider it good idea?
 MT. Kimball has been caring for Enrique for the past year through the Poster Parents Plan for War Children. The boy is in one of the Al children's projects operated by the Plan in England. Children of all nationalitles are cared for in these projects.
 Enrique's case history follows: Enrique was brought to England while the Spanish war was raging. A colony was established for these young refugees. But when England entered the war, the committee which cared for the children could no longer carry on it's work-Eng- land was at war, there were prob lems of defense, English children were now homeless, too. ...
 ITO make matters worse, the house where these children lived was bombed and destroyed.
 Every effort Is being made to absorb as many of the Spanish children as possible into the Col onies. Enrique is one of these.
 He is sturdy boy who works hard and conscientiously at his job whatever it may be. He enjoys games and dances the Basque dance, Espatadanza' beautifully.
 He was rather nervous when he arrived at the Colony But he seems comfortable and happy now. Enrique has very fine sense of humor. He is Of a kindly nature the other boys like him. He is very clever with his hands, too.
 "The boy wants to be an aviator one day.
 He has not heard from his par ents."

VondoIs Wreck
Place on
BobtoiI Creek

When Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Hut
ten went into their place on Bob
tail creek few weeks ago, they
found that some vandals had al
most wrecked the place, including
everything in if. Dishes were brok-
en-. furniture smashed, bedding and
provisions scattered around, and
even the stove in the kitchen had
been so badly battered and smashed
that ii is now useless. The attic had
been invaded and the destructive
work carried on there, as had also
the basement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton have been
living on their place on the Koote-
mai river but 60 to the Bobtail
creek place when work requires
their presence there. 1t is the place
homesteaded by Mr.. Hutton's ia
Their. C. w. Hutton, but which was
turned over to the son.
No motive for the rascally deed is
known and it is thought it was
merely the work of some boys from
toxin who were bent on vandalism.
Mr.. Hutton thinks it is we'll for par
ents TO know what some of the chill
dren are up to.
