Four Persons Appear
In Juvenile Court

Four persons appeared before
Associate Judge Neil c. Fraley in
the juvenile court yesterday after
noon. Two were from the forestry
camp near Homecoming and two
were from near Oakland. The lat
ter two were charged with failure
to attend school.
One forestry camp youth was
charged with assault and with cut
ting another youth with safety
razor, while the other was charged
with using obscene language to
the director
Judge Fraley indicated he saw
no reason why the forestry camp
youths should be brought into
juvenile court every time there
was a fight. Since they were from
the Maryland Training School and
more or less on probation, he felt
that if these youth could not be
controlled they should be returned
to the Training School. The two
were rcmanded to Jail until those
in charge of the training school
program arc contacted.
One girl from Crcllin, age Ia,
who was not attending school and
declared she would not go, was
ordered to the Montrosc Training
School for Girls. In the case of
the boy, Is, who was not attending
school, the judge instructed the
States Attorney to contact the
Welfare Board to see if he could
not be placed in a foster home.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. IL (AP)
.-"Ho. no, no. And what's

type Santa Claus in suburban
Prairie Village as he boosted
a tot onto his knee the other

Without word, the young

Santa in the mouth, grabbed
some candy from Santa's hand
and took off.
Santa, who is Jim DiMaio,
an art student from Des
Moines, had to go to a dentist
for repairs to a cracked tooth.
His mouth swelled, so penicillin
was administered.
Mr.. DiMaio suffered a peni-
cillin reaction and spent Thurs
