Cass avenue, continues TO add

clubs, recreation, entertaining
soldier friends or any type Of
social function if they would
only avail themselves of the OPP

Much comment is being made
concerning the behavior of the
adolescent girl on the street who
seeks social life in undesirable
places. Many such girls are pro-
duets of disrupted homes due TO
their fathers joining the armed
forces, mothers working and boy
friends gone to war. These girls

FEW COMMUNITIES the size
of Utica have the distinction Of
counting among their citizens
those who have travelled life S

half a century. Saturday, Aug.
81, marks the 60th wedding an

its terraced lawn which slopes to

the organization of such a pro-
