Court 10 Hear CurIeY
Argument Today on
Move for New Trial

Justice James M. Proctor in Dis
trlct Court will hear arguments by
defense counsel today on why he
should grant a new trial to Repre-
sentative James M Curley, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, and two CO.
defendants, convicted recently of
both using the mails to defraud and
conspiracy.
Convicted with Representative
Curley, who was president of En-
gineers' Group, Inc, were Donald
Wakefield Smith, its treasurer, and
James G. Fuller, its executive vice
president. The Government asserts
that the group was front" used
to induce contractors and others to
part with total of 5000 on the
representation that it could obtain
Government war contracts and
speed decisions by Federal officials.
The defense contends a new trial
should be granted because motion
for directed verdict was errone-
ously denied; that the jury was ir-
regularly reconvened after the fore
iiioAl iidd
findings on the various counts in the
indictment, and that jurors were
permitted to return to their homes
while considering verdict, instead
of being segregated.
Many other alleged errors are cit
ed by the defense in its fight to
obtain a new trial.
Opposing new trial are two spe-
cial assistants to the Attorney Gen.
eral. William A. Paisley and John
M. Kelley, jr., the prosecutors. who
rclaim the entire proceeding was
legal.
Todays scheduled hearing was
postponed from last Friday because
William E. Leahy. counsel for Repre-
sentative Curley. was engaged in
another case. Also appearing for
Curley is Nicholas J. Case. while
Smith is represented by William A.
Gallagher and Fuller by T. Emmett
Mckenzie.

Boy Scout Troop 6
Has Fathers Night

Boy Scout Troop 6, sponsored by
the First Christian Church, held a
Fathers Night meeting in the gym
nasium at the church on Friday
night. The Scoutmaster, Mr.. Joseph
Filsinger, had originally planned a
father and son hike, as outlined in
the invitations sent to the fathers,
but bad weather forced a change in
plans
In addition to the Scoutmaster and
Mr.. Wolfnger and Mr.. Maugans, two
members Of the Troop Committee,
Is Scouts and nine fathers were
present.
The meeting opened with the
Pledge to the Flag, after which each
Scout introduced his father to his
fellow Scouts and the other dads
present. The Troop was then dis
missed to Patrol meetings, where
dues were collected, attendance
checked and plans completed for
the nights program. While this was
going on the fathers took time out
to get acquainted with each other.
Reassembling, the fathers opposed
their sons in a game session. First
came a Tug of War, which the faith
ers, after a tough struggle, won.
The next game was the Scout favor
lite, STEAL the Bacon" and since the
Scouts are experts at this game,
they fully expected to be the win
ners, but their dads proved to be
experts too and walked off with
the hours in this contest also.
Next came refreshments, which
consisted of hot dogs, chocolate milk,
potato chips, pickles and cookies --
and there were plenty of them. When
everyone - including the fathers
had eaten all they could hold, the
meeting was resumed, with the In
dian Patrol giving their yell" A
drill period came next and this was
something the dads got a big kick
out of. The meeting was then adj
dressed in turn by the two members
of the Troop Committee and the
SCoutmaster, on Scouting activities,
including training, advancement and
camping, after which the meeting
closed with the forming of a friend
ly circle of Scouts and Scout Fathers,
for the Scoutmaster's Benediction.
Fathers and sons left the meeting
with the feeling that the good eats,
enjoyable games and fine fellowship,
had made the meeting a real success
and all are looking forward to an
other meeting soon - perhaps a
father and son hike.

Girl Scout Camp To
Open Mon, June II

Living in tents, swimming in the
creek, cooking over outdoor fires
these are some of the reasons Wash
ington County Girl Scouts are look
ing forward to the opening of Camp
Frame.
camp near Hedgesville, w. Va, over
looking Back Creek. The camp sea-
son opens June II for Brownies and
Intermediates who will remain
intermediate Scouts, who will re-
main until June q. On June % a
new group of Scouts, comprised of
intermediate and Seniors, will live
in the three units of the camp. When
this group leaves on July 8 the third
and last group will settle in until
the close of camp on July 10.
The activities of a camp day are
varied and exciting. Many girls en-
joy the craft work shop where they
make interesting things in wood,
clay, and leather, and where they
also learn various types of weaving
Trail laying and nature hikes are
new experiences for some, while
campcraft activities are chosen by
others. Everyone enjoys the swim
ming, boating and water pageants
A day in camp would not be COM
plete without an evening campfire
These take various forms some
times are informal dramatics, some
times folk dancing, other times just
sitting around a campfire singing
and telling stories.
On rainy days the big lodge, which
also serves as dining hall, is the
center of activities. On Sundays the
girls always plan quiet inspiration
al program, which girls of all de-
nominations and religious faiths
may take part in. "The Point" and
other beauty spots in or near camp
afford project settings for these pro-
grams.
Girls leave camp to become bet
ter citizens of their Troop, COM
munity, and country, because of
these experiences which are the
rightful heritage of every American
girl.
