Two persons also died this year in Newton and White counties because of illnesses contracted lat year.

Thieves Make Probing Easy For Prosecutor NEW YORK (INS) Brooklyn district Attorney Edward Silver did n’t have to leave home today to investigate a case close to his heart. W’hlle Silver fought the under world Wednesday, thieves with little respect for authority entered his home and took jewelry valued at SII,OOO. CIVIL DEFENSE (Continued from euK* Qnei build, the Small Business Administration was prepared to grant 20 year loans at low interest rates. It was believed, however, that only a relative few of those who lost their homes would be in a position to rebuild for sometime. Most have been living with friends or in emergency evacuation centers. State authorities pushed efforts to obtain trailers and prefabricated homes to provide quick safe shelter for those who need it most. A shipment so 200 prefabricated homes had been expected in the Massachusetts flood area . from Groton, Conn., but Governor Abra ham A. Rlblcott of the latter state put a hold order on them, contending they were needed more in Connecticut than in Massachusetts. Efforts of the Red Cross to help flood victims was hampered by lack of funds. Contributions continued to pour in to help flood victims, but it was estimated the relief agency would need at least 38 million.

COOPERATION OF (Continued from PaK« Ons) School principals and the at- . tendance officer cannot do the I whole task alone. Mrs. Foley stat- , ed. She asks that parents underi stand that they are contributing to juvenile delinquency When they fail to demand daily, on-time attendance by their children. I Every child between the ages of I seven and 18 must attend school and any parent who willfully ne gleets to send his child to school Is liable to a fine or imprisonment or both, according to state law. Prosecuting attorney Lewis L. Smith and Judge Myles F. Par- ■ rish have taken a special interest • in attendance cases. "Attendance of all pupils is par- • amount to good school operation". : Mrs. Foley said, "and my office - will do all in its power to assist ; N the various schools ih carrying • cut their duties.” She concluded, "Let the adults i meet their responsibility today, so I that the youngsters can meet . theirs tomorrow.” 1 AMERICAN FARMERS iContinued from t*aK« One> 1 had been treated royally by the J Russians but complained that ' there had been so many vodka and ’ caviar parties that they had to ask their hosts to slow down.
