Is Ben Guilty?
They're holding Ben for man
slaughter.' Almost everyone i
the county knows who Ben is
He owns a tavern a couple o
miles from town, and he alway
figured he'd be setting a poo
example for his customers if h
didn't take a regular turn at the
bottle.
The evening Ben killed a girl
he may have had two drinks, or
six,, or none. No one knows for
sure. They do know he left for
town early that Sunday evening
Three teen-age girls were
walking on the right side of the
highway on their way to church
It"was just at dusk, when head-lights
don't help much. Ben says
he saw them too late to turn or
stop. One- girl died in the am-bulance
and the other two were
crippled.
FuTmy thing about Ben. Just
the day before, he told an old
riend he had decided to settle
down — quit drinking, sell the.
avern and buy a farm.
The indictment suggests that
Ben didn't really mean what he
aid. The District Attorney
links Ben was criminally rieg-gent.
Do This About House
When You Go Away:
.If you are going to the trouble and
citTpanms ot luo.vVr».B vovur Vtomw tov a.
few weeks' vacation, really get away
from the place and don't sit around
for two weeks worrying If it will be
there when you get back.
First of all its' a good idea to pull
the main electric switch and thus
eliminate any possibility of a fire
starting from electricial causes. It
is also a good idea to have the gas
and telephone disconnected, especi-ally
if you plan-to be away for a
considerable time.-
It is very important not to leave
any rubbish, trash or oily cloths and
mops around. These are great little
items for staring and feeding fires.
In spite of the fact that it makes
the place a little stuffy when you
return, close all windows and lock
them securely. This is not only pro-tection
against housebreakers but it
will prevent a driving rain from
ruininfg furniture and decorations.
We once knew 'a man who left a
window on an upper floor open so
as to let fresh air in but together
with the air a lot of rainwater en-tered
doing considerable damage to
the interior of the home.
And be careful not to leave any
food around as this will attract all
sorts of interestin gwild life. Be
sure to stop all deliveries of milk,
mail and the daily papers. Notify
your most reliable neighbor that you
are going to be away for a time,
and more important notify the cap-tain'
of your local police precinct
that your, home will becolsed until
the day of your return. The police
will make a periodic check on your
premises.—Bulletin, Jamaica Estates

A-Deal Super Mart
Meat Department
SWws Steady Gain
Sam Sherman, prexy of the meat
department at Sherman Brothers
A-Deal Super Mart, announced to-day
that snles for the week past,
both in volume and individual sales,
show a very appreciable increase as
against last year at this time. This
Tend is also, apparent from week
o week ancLinonth to month. How-sver,
a survey of the meat sales and
ituation throughout the country—
and even the area itself—would not
ordinarily substantiate this result,
since the market itself during the
mst year has been (a scene of
lu.ctua.tion and near-'chaos.
Mr. Sherman further explained
hat, although the market in general
has been a high one, the trick is
still to be able to get prime quality
available to the consumer at'prices
;hat many still pay for bulk quanti-ties
of-meat. A-Deal's steady.rise
and gain in customer's, then, is
attribtuable to. reliability, to tjhe
knowledge that the meat sold to
