With shadows only of the night to

Hero dwells the peace that mesneth

criminal sessions. but in the Juvenile
courts, does this condition exist.
Boys. taken in for nilnor offences,
not older than 9 or 10 years old.

have a. chance to mingle with the
older boys who are already tried in
underworld nt‘fairis. and they acquire
much detrimental knowledge."

The chaplain advocated that so
far as possible children offenders
should be dealt with outside of
the Courts?" Father Regan gave
the following answers:

1. The lack of home training.

2. Lack of home life.

3. No religious instruction.

4. No proper playgrounds.

5. Lack of supervision of reading.

The home life which was former-
ly symbolical of New England was
declared to be fast disappearing. He
said that parents should strive to
keep the children at home. instead
of permitting them to seek their on-
ioyment elsewhere. He odvoeated
emphatically home socials. The home
he considers, the basis of morality.
and said that as an institution it
must thrive. if the citizens would
retain their powerful country.

He cited Theodore Roosevelt as a
classic example of the home lover.
He told how Roosevelt once had
bought a dog for his children in the
White House. When the President
recieved complaints that the canine
was tearing up the floors in the Ex-
ecutivo Mansion. he reprimanded his
informer. and said that the children
should have their fun. even if it were
at the expense of the floor.

The speaker urged Kiwsnlans to
be the companions of their children.
He suggested that parents should
inform their off springs upon deli-
cate matters. and not let them wait
to be informed wrongly by unknow-
ing persons.

President Edward J.l Quinlan. in
commenting upon Rev. Regan‘s ad-
dress. told Kiwanians that tho speak-
er had "pinched hit" did a. remark-
able job. Rev. Thomas F. White. eu-
porintendent of Manresa Institute
at Koysefs Island. was announced an
the speaker. but was unable to at.
tend .

Mr. Quinlan announced that Gov.
Walter Campbell of the Eastern Ki-
wsnls district will be the speaker at
next week's luncheon. An invitation
was extended to the local order from
Paul Bsrrowa of Stamford who is go.
ing‘ to hold an outing and corn roast
in the Lock City for the Kiwanians
there, William F. Taylor. chairman
of the agricultural committee, was
appointed to make arrangements for
the roast. It will be held at the Su-
burban club in Stamford.

There was no attendance prize yes-
terday. notwithstanding a good at—
tendanco.

total wreck.
The accident occurred near the
top of the hill. The truck. it If
said.‘in attempting to return to the
right side of the road after avoiding
the ditch. skidded on the wet rails.
and its rear wheels were thrown
directly against the front of the
Hyatt car.

Luckily both vehicles were going
at a slow rate of speed. Spectators
of the accident say that it was only
the slow speed that saved the Hyatt
party from death. The heavy five
ton truck was uncontrol'ablo when
it skidded. and it was fortunate that
the driver was able to turn it away
from the Hyatt car after the crash.
The occupants of the coupe were
taken to their homes where they
are resting comfortably this morn-
ing. Dr. William J. Tracey is at-
tending them. Howe was uninjured
and is not. being held. Mrs. Hyatt
said this morning that the accident
was unavoidable.

Although traffic is closed to east
bound traffic the coupe was per-
mitted to ascend the bill because it
was going only I short distance on
Westport avenue.

$15,000 for H i 1

WESTPORT, Aug. 14.—What
characterised as a "secret meeti-
of the members of the Board
Finance of the Town of Westpo
was held in the home of E. '1‘. Be .
ford at Greens li'urins Monday night:
it was learned here. Only two me
hers. Erwin M. Jennings and Georg
W. Gair. attended.

The matter said to be under d
cusslon was the much talked of tar
diness of the Town of Westport
spending 830.000 on its high echo
site after B. T. Bedford hes verso
ally given $145,000 from his privstn‘;
means for the school building.

When the high school matter or
first breached. the Town propose
spending $145,000. Mr. Bedfor- “
when he heard of this. offered t
give an equal sum. and. s. manifi
cent $290,000 building has bee
erected as a result.

This sum has been expended. bu
there remains a few minor centre
which will cost $30. 000. The re
quest of the Board of Education to
this sum has been turned down .
the Finance Board. and this has 1:
curred tho displeasure of Mr. Bed
ford. who is said to have been read
to again give half of the need:
sum. and leave only 315.000 to -‘
raised by the Town.

With the exception of the Bear
of Education. residents of the to .
seem unanimously against the s.
p'ropristion.
