SchooIGroups Presented in
 Sacred Music

The chorus of the Northfield Schools at Northf1eld, Mass, 8 massed choir of over 1000 voices-- will be heard over Station WATR and the American Broadcasting Company at p. III. Sunday, May 12, in half-hour program of sac" red music.
 Although the choir is no stranger to radio, it has not been heard on any network in the past two years because of war conditions. It is composed of members of the Stud- ent bodies of the two famous schools at Northfeld. The two groups are trained separately and sing together only at this one an- nual occasion. Even then some of the more difficult numbers are sung by smaller groups. One of these, the A Capella choir, has been so painstakingly trained that critics have compared it's performance to that of the finest professional choral organizations.
 The chorus has long had a cher- ished place in the Northfield tra- dition. It has been in existence for 30 years, from the time of Dwight L. Moody. Tn its early years, it annually rendered works of the so-called Northfield group of com- posers-men like Ira D. Sankey, George 0. Stehbins and otGers whose songs were standard church music in Great Britain and the United States.

 More important" said Brigadier Burlington, during this study period, the child's mother will have a chance to change her mind and not return, months or years later, in an effort to recover the child"
 All Salvation Army Homes and Hospitals make certain that the mother of an illegitimate child has g plan" before she leaves the Home, usually six weeks after the chtldS birth. Established child adoption agencies make this plan.
 lin an atmosphere of security and friendliness, the unmarried mother can think through her prob lem, and come to final decisions regarding her baby" said Briga- dier Burlington. At the present time, babies are being sold in many cases DeIOre they are porn.
 Patients Protected
 To date the Salvation Army hos pitals have successfully protected their patients from black market practices, but they are being dou- bly, sure these days that the friends" or relatives" who may be reported as wanting to adopt a newborn infant of an unwed moth CT are indeed realtives, and do not turn out to be strangers who have been contacted by the black mar ket in babies"
 "The Salvation Army appeals to the public to help inform popu- lar opinion of the dangers of this black market in babies, said Brig adler Huntington.

SalUation Army Hits NelU Black Market
Efforts Underway To Check Illegal Adoption Practices of Newborn Infants

The growth 0f the "black market in babies" throughout the country has caused the Salvation Army to take increasingly tight precautions against this illegal traffic, accord ing to National Headquarters of the Salvation Army.
 "This latest "black market" by which newborn infants are adopted" without legal formali- ties. through the medium of pri- vate individuals, has spread rapid ly in both large and small cities of the United States, and has al- ready come to the attention of state and city authorities. The Salva- tion Army is trying to inform pub- lie opinion of nature of these il- legal adoption practices, so as to put stop to them.
 Many illegitimaet babies are born in the Salvation Army'S Booth Me- morial Hospitals, and all of these hospitals have been alerted to this newest "black market" where babies are bartered as though they were nylon stockings, and sold fre- quently for large sums.
 Easy Prey
 According to Brigadier Florence Turkington, Salvation Army Wo- mems Social Secretary in the East ern Territory, the unmarried mother becomes an easy prey to unethical baby adoption practices.
 UEn nftnT1 ON id pVsino dior FT11T1v- ington, these young girls do not know that there are agencies and institutions set up to meet their specific problem. Any plan made in haste by such a young woman Is bound to be disastrous. The Salvation Army wants to emphasize the importance of Q recognized adoption agency in such a situa- tion.".
 The Salvation Army itself is not an adoption agency, but works closely with recognized agencies in the arranging adoption of in- farlts born in its hospitals.
 Salvation Army officials have found that people wanting to adopt 8 child resent primarily the four to six months study home" period imposed by most States before legal adoption can be accomplished. These prospective parents want a baby in the "cute" stage, and gladly en- ter black market practices to avoid what they consider red tape".
 Thorough Cheek
 Salvation Army officials want the public to understand that the 'red tape' and the study home" period, imposed by child-adoptioh agencies, are established for the protection both of the prospective parents

FirstArrests On Labor Low 
 Test To 30 Made of
 Employment of Women
 After IOP. N.

State Labor Commissioner John J. Egan announced today that three restaudant owners were fined this week in Willimantic on charges of violating the state labor law. All three entered written demurrers which were ovelruled by the court and for their appeals bonds were set at $100 each.
 When the Governor revoked war order 20 last January, which per- mitted the employment of women in restaurants after 10 p. m. the question has been raised regarding the difficulty of proprietors to re- place waitresses with walters
 Deputy Commissioner William G. Ennis said that some restaurants claim that they are encountering no trouble in hiring male walters while others state that 1t is impossible to do so. With 60,00O unemployed in the state, nearly 30,O00 of which are veterans, 1t is difficult to believe that enough walters could not be hired to fill any vacancies which might occur"
 The Labor Departments division of factory inspection, under the di- rection of John 0. Ready, deputy commissioner, will rigidly enforce the statute, and the law is clear and it is the duty of the labor de- pertinent to enforce it" MT. Ennis concluded.
 He called attention to the fact that the statute also provides a fine of not more than $100 for each il- legal offense in the employment of minors under the age of 16 years.
