WX TV U. Meets
to Map Year's
Drive Sept. 27
Rochester, N. Y., Scene for 65th An-
nnal Convention Scientific
Research Stressed.
EVANSTON, III. (UP) Blue
printing the immediate future's tem
perance fight program and the year's
outstanding tribute to Frances E.
Willard will highlight the 65th an
nual ionveution of the National
Woman's C h rl s t i a n Temperance
Union at Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 27
to Oct. 3. .
The session is expected to attract
a record attendance, approximating
3,000.
Rochester was chosen because of
Its proximity to Churchville, N. Y.,
the birthplace on Sept. 28. 1939, of
Miss Willard. one of America's great
women leaders.
To Visit Birthplace
Those attending the convention
will make a pilgrimage the morning
of Sept. 2S to Churchville, to visit
the house in which Miss Willard was
born. Back at Rochester thateve
ning they will attend a banquet and
commemorative service, to be closed
with a nationwide broadcast with
leaders of other national groups as
speakers.
Simultaneous holding of similar
meetings in more than 10,000 W. C.
T. U. local units throughout hte
nation will make this event.
The convention also will mark the
close of the Willard Centenary five
year, five-point program of spiritual,
alcohol, character, peace, and citi
zenship education inaugurated when
Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith assumed the
national presidency in 1933.
Scientific Research Stressed
Faced by the fact of repeal, the
W. C. T. U. in 1933 began a long
term program of research and edu
cation into the scientific facts of
"what alcohol is and what it does."
Since then a temperance education
fund of $750,000 has been raised to
be devoted solely to distributing sci
entific facts to youth and adults.
This scientific education work will
be continued as the main plank of
the W. C. T. U. program.
However, national W. C. T. U. offi
cers and advisers believe that social
effects of the re-legalized liquor trade
have been such that the temperance
fight has been speeded at least five
years ahead of their 1933 expec
tations. KILLS SWEETHEART'S SISTER
CHICAGO, Sept. 2 (UP) Lieut
enant Thomas Kelly of the state's
attorney's police announced today that
York Bodden, 24, a house painter, had
confessed he killed with a hammer
Anna Riermaier, 23. his former sweet
heart's sister because she wrecked
his romance.
Miss Riermaier disappeared August
11. Bodden, Kelly said, directed police
to a culvert near Volo, Illinois, forty
miles northwest of Chicago where the
body was found early today.
Police seized Bodden last night at
his home. In his confession he said
AUss Riermaier had convinced her
sister, Florence, 22, that she should
not see him any more. He admitted
luring the victim to his automobile
under the pretense of driving her to
a plant where she was employed as
a stenographer. Kelly said Bodden
admitted he struck Miss Riermair
with a hammer, drove around until
night and then threw the body into
the culvert.
KNOX SAYS SUPPORT PRESIDENT
CHICAGO, Sept. " 2 (UP) Col.
Frank Knox, republican vice-preAi
dential nominee in 1936 and publisher
of the Chicago Daily News, urged
editorially today that all Americans
give "whole-hearted, undivided" sup
port to President Roosevelt during
the European crisis.
He said:
"There has been a great deal of
talk, in the recent past, while the
world teetered between war and peace,
that of the die was cast for war, and
Europe again became a shambles,
President Roosevelt ould maneuver
the United States into the war in
order to promote his supposed ambi
tion to be elected for a third term.
"It is time for sensible people to
stoD that kind of reckless talk. It
could be tolerated, as an excuse of
Dartisanship, when there was no war
But war is here. . . that we (the
United States) retain our sanity may
be vital preservation of civilization
itself."

C) Children
By Judge
Copyright 1939
"Thirty-Six Gasoline Stations"
A special delivery air mail letter
from a California court informed us
that Dick, who claimed a Madison
county town as his residence, had
plead guilty to the crime of embezzle
ment of the sura of 20.00; that the
penalty was imprisonment In the
s"tate penitentiary, but that the judge
wanted to know his previous record
before passing sentence. "Would we
kindly investigate among the rela
tives and school authorities and
give an accurate account of his past
record?
Before evening of that day we
contacted teachers, relatives and
friends, and without exception they
all expressed their fondness for
Dick. Some told of his acts of kind
ness to their own or neighbor's less
fortunate children. Dick came from
one of the most prominent families
of northeast Nebraska, of pioneer
stock. Why he committed this of
fense could not be determined.
We wrote the California officers in
detail and suggested that in view of
the fact that their state would bene
fit nothing by imprisoning him, we
would gladly assume responsibility
for his future conduct, if California
would place him on probation to a
resident of Madison county.
The State of California has a fine
record for outstanding juvenile work
and in consideration of Dick's past
ircord, they agreed that if we would
forward the transportation cost, they
would place him under supervision of
the Madison Cbunty Juvenile Court.
A bus ticket was provided and
within a few days Dick came home.
We never questioned him as to why
he embezzled $20.00, but we did en
courage him to make every effort to
ward honest achievement so that we
could report favorably to the Cali
fornia Judge.
At the end of a two-year period,
Dick having made restitution in full
the California Judge, satisfied with
cur reports, released him from pro
bation. Although only seven years
Lave elapsed, Dick is now the general
manager of a chain of 36 retail gaso
line filling stations in an eastern city.
Knowing him as we do, we are con
fident that he will extend a helping
hand to many boys who will be in
need of it in his vast organization.
It is difficult to estimate the far
reaching effects of grasping this boy
out of the clutches of a penal in
stitution. U. of N. to Give

ihl Crossroads
Ernest I Reeker
The Slender Thread of Destiny
By how slender a thread the des
tiny of youth hangs is exemplified In
the story, not original, of the white
farmer who brought the little color
ed boy to the bar of justice.
Approaching the prosecutor, the
farmer said, "I've got a thief, and I
want you to punish him."
The prosecutor, looking at the
boy, smill in stature, frail of body,
bright of eye, said", "Yes, he looks
like a criminal."
."You don't seem very anxious to
prosecute him," said the farmer.
"First, I should like to know
wherein this boy is a criminal," said
the prosecutor.
Thereupon the farmer stated that
the boy had been stealing two gal
lons of milk every night.
The boy was asked, "Are you well
fed?" .
"Yes, Suh. Ah gits plenty to eat."
"They are kind to you?"
"Yes, Suh. Dey sho am good to
me."
"Did you take the milk?"
"Yes, Suh. Ah done took it."
"What did you do with it?"
"Well, ah didn't sell it."
The farmer then interrupted: "See
there; I told you he is a thief. lie
needs to be prosecuted and sent to
jail."
Prosecutor: "Well, boy, what did
you do with the milk?"
"Ah gibbed it to Mose."
"You gave it to Mose! "Who is
Mose?"
"Well, Suh, Mose is dis here man's
calf."
"So you gave it to Mose?"
"Yes, Suh. He was moanin', and
he moaned and moaned and moaned;
and ah jes couldn't stand his moan
in, so I gibbed him some milk every
night, and then he didn't moan no
mo'."
Had the farmer been half so dili
gent in the care of his livestock as
he was anxious to prosecute the little
boy on such unsubstantial evidence
as he had, there would have been no
occasion for wrong-doing on the
boy's part. Neither would the farm
er have been embarrassed in public
by this clear-cut display of his own
remissness. .. :. .; ;'
Too often adult neglect creates
the opportunity for youthful delin
quency, and the resulting acts of a
youngster, innocent though they may
seem to him, may grow into corrupt
habits.
PROBE GASOLINE PRICE FIXING
DANVILLE, 111., Sept. 2 (UP)
The department of justice today
counted one defeat and one victory
in attempts to prove its charges that
major mid-western oil companies en
gaged in gasoline price fixing.
Federal Judge Walter Lindley dis
missed a grand jury last night after
it reported it had found no cause for
action. In the justice department's
investigation of thirteen oil com
panies on anti-trust charges, the in
vestigation supplemented a trial last
year at Madison, Wisconsin in which
twelve companies were convicted on
anti-trust charges.
Attorney General Frank Murphy
had said the grand jury investigation
here was necessitated by indications
that practices on which the oil trial
at Madison in 1936 were based "had
not been wholly abandoned In the oil
industry."
GREAT 4-H CLUB SHOW
LINCOLN, Sept. 2 (UP) A
record-breaking 4-H club show be
gan today at the Nebraska state fair

ticipating. Competition will continue through

ginning tomorrow and ends Friday,

Officials said records probably will
be broken, with livestock entries
already numbering 1,371 compared
to 742 last year. Entries in home
economics exhibits were so numer
ous there was not enough space avail
able and many counties were turned
down.
