missed because Of Classco re-
fusal to testify against Geneva
for trying to cut him.
According to your Honor the
Judge O'Brien as stated to this
reporter after the trail and in a
case similar to this in Police
Court. Much pressure is brought
on the Judges for not giving out
the severest penalty /, and in some
persons in various civic organic
ations have become Gerry out
spoken about it. The Judges
hands are tied because when a
case such as the Reed and Clas-
SEQ case and the Mallory and
Burn case come up, the two make
up before the trail and refuse to
testify against the other thus it
causes the Judge either to have
to dismiss the case entirely or
place a fine for the cost Of the
court Until this situation has a
remedy, continued cases such as
these will be turned out of court
for lack of sufficient evidence to
prosecute.

George LOWtner, raQlO director

program. has given his Endorsement
to the writing awards by declaring
1.-The Evening Star is doing more
to develop fine writer's through
Scholastic Writing Awards than is
any professional school that teaches
special techniques of radio script
writing or any other creative writing
speciality.
by encouraging students to try
their hands at all types of writing,
the newspaper Is giving them an OPP
portunity to really learn how to
write. BY giving them pat on the
back in the form of an award, it
may well be giving the encourage
ment needed to start a fine poten-
tial writer in the proper field.
Here's my advice, to young
writer's: -..-..
Ground yourself well in every
form of expression; don't aim at
the start for any particular form.
Later, you will find which is your
real field. Then study the best
writing in that field. Most impor-
tant of all. get to know all you can
about your subject"
