TWELVE PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS 1 Massena Rushes to Help Victims of Qreat Flood RED CROSS APPEALS TO PEOPLE IN MASSENA TO DONATE QUICKLY Hundreds of DoDars Wjjl be Needed From This Branch and Auxiliaries to Support National Headquarters in Coping With Southern Rivers Disaster Massena Red Cross moved for- ward quickly Monday to help re- lieve the suffering and distress in the flooded regions of the Ohio river and before any news regard- ing the local quota was received preliminary plans had been com- pleted by Mrs. John P. Murphy, chairman of Massena Branch, to accept contributions of money and clothing. All clothing being sent to the flood area should be left with Mrs. Murphy at her home at 26 West Orvis street. Contributions in money may be ! given to Mrs. Murphy or to MrS- K. Donald Mairs, Church street, secretary, or left at the Massena! Banking & Trust Company, the First National Bank & Trust Com- pany ox_the Observer office. Roy H. Contryman will receive dona- tions at the aluminum plant. Money and clothing from the auxiliaries should be given to Rev. E. F. Mellott, Louisville; Mrs. H. E. Gallinger, Massena Center; Mrs. M. D. Guyette, Racket River; Mrs. Irene Blanchard, Helena; Mrs. L. G. Cole, North Lawrence; Mrs. W. W. Murray, Winthrop; Mrs. A. A. Phelix, Brasher Falls. Mrs. Murphy was notified Mon- day noon that the Massena quota would be $300 but Monday night she was notified that the quota for Massena had been increased to $*>75 and by Wednesday morning this had jumped to $1,500, or five times the original amount. The Monday Luncheon club is believed to be the first organiza- tion to announce a contributiaa.£Qx phis worthy cause. At the Mon- day meeting the \club voted to give 'Representatives of Various Law CRAWLING JUNE BUG IS FOUND BY WORKMEN j AT FEDERAL AIRPORT A crawling June bug, totally unihindful of the calendar which says this is the middle of whiter, was found Tuesday by workmen on the federal airport project, North Racket road, and James H. Snider, timekeeper, brought the bug to the Obser- vey office. The insect was seen as, it crawled' over some dirt. While the June bug was not in a conversational mood when he arrived at this \office yet one may conjecture that he was waging for an airplane to take him) to a southern clime for the! remainder of the winter. Although he was carefully wrapped in cellophane and de- posited on the editorial desk yet when no one was watching the bug disappeared and apparent- ly he plans to spend the winter in phis office. 94,6 PER CENT PAPERS CLAIMED Unusually Hig-h Mark In Local Schools Final Average Will Be Somewhat Less But H Is Expected To Be Higher Than Usual— 223 Papers Written Out of 223 papers written in the Massena high school in the regents examinations 211 were claimed and forwarded to Albany, or a percentage of 94.6.. This is regarded as exceptional- ly high for the January regents as statistics show that the percentage of papers claimed in the mid-year i examinations fa lower than for the jjune tests. This is due in part to the- fact that a certain percentage I of those taking the January ex- aminations have failed previous Iregent3 tests. There are always more failures in January than in June. While the final report of the regents may ^>wer the percentage somewhat yet it is felt that Mas- 1 sena students have earned an un- • usually high average. The per- jcentage of papers claimed in the (January and June regents of last (year was 86 or 87 per cent. It is not expected that the final 'results will show a percentage of j 94.6 per cent of papers claimed. In cases where there is much doubt whether or not the student is entitled to a passing grade the papers are forwarded to Albany and the regents make tha final de- cision on the matter, thus giving the local student the benefit of the doubt. Training School For Boy Scout Leaders The first training course for Boy Scout leaders to be held in Massena during the past few years was held Saturday in the First Baptist church under the di- rection of the county scout ex- ecutive, L. H. Parsons. The course lasted from 2:00 until 6:00 p. m. and consisted of ideas and sug- gestions for the programs of the various troops. The ^following men attended: From J Massena, Clyde Reid, scoutmaster of Troop 34, Andrew Maston, scoutmaster of Troop 50, and Lee •Whitaker, assistant scoutmaster of Troop 50, Harold Goers, scoutmaster of Troop 33, and assistant scout- masters Richard Pickens and James Glascock of Troop 33. From Parishville, Scoutmaster Paul Weaver, and from Canton, Scoutmaster William H. Sawyer. PLAN SERIES OF LPFOL TALKS Majsena Police Will i lear Speakers $25 to the Red Cross for the relief I of flood sufferers. Other organizations are making plans to contribute as well as hun- dreds of individuals. Every cent will be welcomed by those \people who are in the flood areas. All money and clothing con- tributed in Massena, whether pri- vately or to a church or some other organization, will all be sent to the stricken area by the Red Cross. Special bags used by the Red Cross in shipping goods to Massena for welfare cases have Been carefully saved and these bags will be used in sending the clothing to the flood sufferers. ! As the need is urgent, Mrs. Mur- phy is anxious to start sending the money and clothing as soon; as possible, ma^jng several different \shipments if necessary. All are urged to donate as much as possible as Massena has been especially fortunate in escaping the disasters which have struck Eta orcement Bodies as Well As Courts Will be Listed On Police Program In order that all Massena police- men ^vill have a working know- ledge pf the duties of other law enforcement agencies and courts, Chief pf Police Darwin D. Shatraw is arranging for a series of lec- tures to be held in the Massena police \ station in the near future. A number of prominent speakers have already accepted the invita- tion tp 'speak to the local officers. Charles J. Broadfield, command- er of Troop B, New York state constabulary, will tell the Massena officers I of \the duties of the state troopers, how they so-operate with village police departments, how police pan co-operate • with the troopers, how troopers' work dif- fers from police departments' and other salient points which will help the local men. Andrew J. Hanmer, district at- Witness In Gang: Slaying Is Freed Dominic Tallurado of Jamaica, L.

Tallurad^ was held in the Rocco DeLorenzO murder case as the people's first witness against Frank Piscionerij Frank Malamaci and Antonio Foleno. At present Foleno is at large and' the other two men are serving from 15 to 30 years each in Clinton prison fol- lowing pleas of guilty to reduced charges of manslaughter, second degree. DeLorenzb's battered body was found beside the Winthrop- Massena road one morning last August, after what authorities consider the firgit real gangland \ride\ in St. Lawrence county. HIGH MARKS IN REGENTS TESTS Number of Students On Roll of Honor Those Having Grade of 90 Or Above In Examinations Last Week Are Listed—Several As High as 98 Per Cent A number of the students who 'took the regents examinations last ! week at the Massena high school earned unusually lugh marks. As only 223 papers were written, na- turally the honor roll is much shorter than is the case in June when more students are taking the examinations. The following young men and women earned marks above 90: Arithmetic—Merton Adams 90, Kathleen Hampton 90, Roy Sheets 90, Florence Silver 95. Spelling—Clifford Kennedy 90, Leo Premo 92, Florence Silver 94.

TWO GASES ARE HELPED BY FUND Report Given of Cash From Parties Massena's Share of Money From Total Past other regions will Be unable to do their part due to the fact that they have' been stricken by drought or some other disaster and for that reason Massena people should be lad to do more than their share, points out Mrs. Murphy.

The kindergarten enrollment for the last semester was 137 boys and girls. This semester the enroll- ment will be well over 175, ac- cording to present; indications. These extrsi children are those \who have had | their! fifth birthday since October 11 oj who will be five years old before next Monday, February 1. I On Tuesday morning 18 new children had been enrolled in the kindergarten grade in Bridges avenue school.; FxVe or six new students were of school life learning the ways in each one of the other kindergartens, Lincoln, Washington and j Fine Grove schools. Thes£ are approximate figures but by next week the exact number or children going to school for the first time will be known. Mason P.

The potion was filed through Attar* Bennett Abraras. . , Rosevelt Parties Totals $177.71 During Two Eevents The Massena Red Cross has 1 re- ceived 70 per cent of the receipts from birthday parties of President Franklin D.'Roosevelt in the past two years, a total of $177.71. Thirty per cent of the receipts has been sent to . the Warm Springs Foundation for the study of pre- vention and cure of infantile pa- ralysis. The first party held in Massena was in January,; 1934, and Mas- sena's share amounted to $148.40. On the following year the receipts were smaller, Massena's share be- ing |29.31. This was partly due to the fact that the birthday party was held later iji the year as the tAppt hall was being, re-painted at the time and much of the national publicity lost its'value. Massena's share of the fund has been for the care and treatment of orthopedic case^. The sum of $23.23 has been spent for this pur- MASSENA PLAYS AT OGDENSBURG Next Home Game To Be February 5 Malone Will Play Here One Week Prom Friday Night—Canton Golden Bears Defeat Locals 44 to 34 i The Massena high school basket- ball team will journey toj Ogdens- burg Friday night to meet the Ogdensburg Free Academy team in that city.

Steals Pants Here, Found In Gouverneur A man giving his name as Ar- thur Williams, 36, 401 Westcott street, Syracuse,. and who was in Massena selling notions several weeks ago, was brought back to Massena from Gouverneur Satur- day on a charge of stealing a pair of pants from a $35 suit. The com- plainant was James Scully and the trousers were in his brother's room at 49 Phillips street. The' Gouverneur police arrested the man Saturday and a Massena offi- cer brought him back to this vil- the present time in this fund of $154.48. The Red Cross has helped in a number of orthopedic cases but in several instances the money has come from the general fund. How- ever, two cases have been helped by the special orthopedic fund. One school'girl is,being aided at the present time and it is ex- pected that a complete cure for her crippled condition will be eventually accomplished.

Rat- cliffe, desk man at the police de- partment, has been unable to get in touch with his relatives. His brother, George Ratcliffe, and sister, Mrs. Helen Haser, re- side in that flooded city, the broth- er having been an army officer. Their father, William E. Ratcliffe, lives in Ogdensburg. AH letters sent to the relatives in Louisville have gone to a box number at the post office and con- sequently the street address is not known. Mr. Ratcliffe attempted to send a telegram to the relative! inquiring about their safety but this was impossible on account of bavins; only the post oflee bax number and by Wednesday mom- no definite word had been re- ceived from them. As far as the Observer is able to le»rn, comparatively few form- er Massena people are located in the flooded districts of the Ohio river. Relatives and friends of Mas- sena people, who are living in or near the flood area, are Amos J. Pay, a brother of Mrs. John H. Whalen, and Herbert A, Miller, « son of John H. Miller, a former Massena man. Both of these live in Cincinatti, but are both located in the Price Hill section, which is out at the flood danger; James B. Carroll, a son of Mr. and Mrs., Bart Carroll, who is located at Chillieothe, and not in the danger son*; Lloyd Dyk*, a son pt Mrs. Cow Mclntosfc, 184 Crater street, who Mv«s at Haaaltoa, Pit, and as ytt Is not near the teod Joined Massena Lodge No. 513, F. & A.

M : a|t the regular meeting Tuesday night, he having been a' member of the lodge for at least 85 years! and having passed his sixty-fifth birth- day. The certificate was awarded by Herbert H. Hatch, a past grand master of the lodge, at the request of the master, Clark L. Chase. Mr. Lamping in reply to the presenta- tion said that he regretted that his business as traveling salesman throughout the years had made it impossible to attend 'meetings of the lodge regularly. He thanked all for the certificate and said that he. was very proud to be a life member of the order. ; Mr. Lamping became a member of the lodge April 25,1899, in the same class of candidates as Lester A. Chittenden who was awarded his life membership certificate at a recent meeting of the lodge. Herbert Potter, now Of i*ke Placid; was master at that time. Reports on Men's Club *\\* .The Massena Men's club at the meeting* last week paid for the services of a professional enter- tainer and other expenses and made a little over 12. The fact that there is a balance is due to selling tickets in advance and closing the ticket sale on the Mon- day afternoon before the meeting. In this manner the kitchen [com- mittee can figure on a certain number of plates and thus elimi- nate the waste. This is about the first time that a prafcsaioaal speaker has been hired, fart the results of the last meeting sh«w that thb method is practical. ; , Darwin D. Shatraw in Talk Before I Monday Luncheon Club Gives High Points in Police Work in Massena Chief of Police Darwin D. Sha- traw gave a very enlightening talk on police work at the meeting of the Monday Luncheon club this week. He outlined the five duties of a police officer: Protect life and property; preserve peace; prevent crime; enforce laws and ordinan- ces; detect and arrest criminals. .An officer must be skilled in several different lines, according to, the chief of police. He should be able to render first aid in time of an accident, He should have a working knowledge of the law. He should be able to act in the | role of a social advisor when I necessary. No other organization has such a distinct bearing upon the life of a community as the police depart- ment. It plays a greater part in making the community a pleasant and safe place to live in, than any other department. The Massena chief told of the policies of the local department. Every man is instructed to be courteous at all times, especially to out of town guests. He told of the co-operation his department Was receiving from the towns* people. Massena's -share of the receipts from the president's birthday ball jto be held Friday night in the high school gymnasium will go to (the flood sufferers, it has been de- icided by the general committee.

The remaining 30 per cent has been sent to the Warm Springs Founda- tion for care and treatment of people suffering from infantile paralysis. Thirty per cent of tfie noney from the party Friday :light will go to Warm Springs ind the remainder to the flood victims.
