members to carry on our work.
They filled in admirably. We are
now using more people, but several
of them are working shorter periods
than in our former set-up. At this
point I would like to pay real
tribute to our old employees who
have carried a greater burden at
times because of their loyalty to the
club. They are the backbone of the
organization and served faithfully
when the going was rough.
We also wish to give thanks to
those other benefactors who gave
of their time, financial aid and
other efforts during the year-the
newspapers which continue to CO.
operate in giving valuable space in
their publication, the Community
Chest with the supporting public in
helping to finance our work, our
officers and directors in giving Of
their time and advice, our staff in
continuing to share our efforts and
to all other friends who encourage
our work with the future citizens
of our community.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM M. JOHNSON,
Superintendent.

The suit is based on fatal injuries
sustained by Mr.. Griffin last Aug.
7 when car driven by the de-
PENDANT allegedly left Baldwin street
and struck the victim as he stood
near a house at 1854 Baldwin street.
The injured man died four days
later.
Charges have been made by the
plaintiff that the defendant was
operating under the influence OF
liquor, that the steering mechanism
of his car was defective, and that
he failed to apply the brakes when
the car left the highway. 1t is
maintained further that he was
speeding, gave no signal of his ap-
proach, and failed to keep a proper
lookout.
In a special defense filed In the
court Fenton claims the steering APP
paratus of his car suddenly and
without warning became defective
and as result made him lose con-
troll of the vehicle. He claims the
accident was not due to any fault
or negligence on his part.
Presentation of testimony is
scheduled to continue this after
noon. Fenton, who will be a wit
ness for the defense, was present in
the courtroom today.
Attorney William B. Fitzgerald
is appearing for the plaintiff, and
Attorney William F. Healey is coun-
sci for the defendant.
Nine Of the Jurors summoned to
appear in court at the start of the
case were excused at their own re-
quest after they told of business or
home responsibilities. Judge Frank
P. McEvoy, who presided, excused
several persons who hold defense
jobs. One of the defense workers,
however, was asked to telephone
his employer, first and report his
attitude towa,G allowing the en-
ploye to stay away from work and
serve on a jury. He was one of
those excused. A total of 30 of the
40 persons whose names are on the
list reported.
