F.JL TRIUMPHS OVER SARANAC LAKE QUINTET Franklin Academy got away to a flying start in the second half of the Northern League season by defeating Saranac Lake 28-25 on the Saranac Lake court Friday night. The Franklins played brilliant ball during the opening half to lead 22 to 19 at the rest period. In the second half the Lakers came back with a vengeance and threatened for a time to overtake and pass the green. But the locals managed to cling to the lead despite the onslaught and plenty of tough breaks in the officiating. Malone led 26-18 at the end of the third period but in the last stanza Saranac turned on the 1 heat and at one time were in ar- rears but 25-26. With the lead be- ing eaten up rapidly Murphy man- aged, to get away and sink the final and probably the deciding basket. Referee Dona called 16 fouls on Malone and four on Saranac Lake He failed to impose a single foul oil the Lakers in the closing half. Malone's quick-break worked well in the opening periods with Moore, who scored six baskets, re- breaking away from his to sink the ball. Buell also played good ball. H. Shatraw played a great game at center for the losers, making two-thirds of his team's points.

MCCAFFREY, DUNDEE BORDER OFFICIAL, DIES Leon McCaffrey, Canadian cus- toms official of Dundee, P. Q., who was brought to the Alice Hyde Hospital for an emergency opera- tion on January 23 after plows had cleared a blizza/d blocked road, died Sunday morning at the hospi- tal. He was 40 years of age. Mr. McCaffrey was stricken with a ruptured appendix and underwent an operation at the hospital imme- diately after his arrival there but the effort to save his life proved unavailing. Mr. McCaffrey was one of the most popular officers in the Cana dian customs service and his death is a shock to many friends on both sides of the international line. The deceased had been stationed at Dundee for six or seven years past and before that was a cus- \What Kiwanis Has Done for Me\ was the topic which Garnet Riddell, who had charge of the program at the Kiwanis Club luncheon yesterday, had assigned to three of the members. F. W. Schnitzlein was first call- ed on and spoke of the friendships which are developed by meeting each week with the membership. He gave two definitions of the word friends; \One who compli- ments us by seeing in us all the virtues\ and \One who knows all our faults and loves us still.\ \In Kiwanis,\ he said, \we forget some of our own troubles and get the other fellow's viewpoint.\ He ad- monished tKe men as they grow older not to seek only financial in- dependence and thus neglect to re- pair the circle of friendships which bring unmeasured comfort and sat- isfaction as the years pass. Dr. R. G. Perkins spoke of the relaxation which comes from meet- ing men in other walks of life, of the knowledge which the meetings bring because of the fact that the club brings speakers of renown, specialists in their own subjects He said that the knowledge gained is like taking a college post-grad- uate course. He stressed the fact that in all the years he has been in Kiwanis he has never seen a word spoken in anger. This in spite of the fact that the men sometimes unmercifully raze each other. Dr. R. L. Stephenson approached the subject from an introspective angle and asked himself the point- ed questions, \What have I done for Kiwanis.\ He said -that a man who sits back and does not do his part is likely to think of himself as a zero which has been erased. He said men are more and more beinc convinced that what this old world needs, as much as anything else, is the Christian spirit of true friend- ship and helpfulness. Lloyd Keller brought a message about safe driving. He stressed only one phase of the problem, the matter of adequate and properly adjusted brakes. He said that good brakes are now compulsory in this state and enforcement of the law will be more and more rigid. He pointed out that a car, even with adequate brakes, requires 40 feet to stop, if it is traveling 20 miles per hour, and that a car traveling 60 miles an hour cannot, be stopped by the driver in less than 225 feet. The danger which arises from poor brakes was thus made apparent, also the danger if a person is not watching the road ahead carefully. Guests present at the meeting were: Rev. Wilbur F. Clark, George W. Rich and George W. Rich, Jr. Ralph Child was censor. Walter Peterson received the attendance prize. John W. Genaway was ap- pointed to distribute birthday gifts next week and Rev. A. R. Cowdery to be censor. Two bowling teams were select- ed to meet a new challenge from the Rotary Club. As announced by Chairman Rider the teams are as follows: First — Perkins, Wilson. Keller, Peterson and Rider; second —Brown, Lytle, Fraughton, Mason and Brennan. WHITE IS HELD ON TWO COUNTS FOR GRAND JURY Brought here from Detroit to answer charges of burglary and grand larceny in connection with three local thefts, Kenneth White, 19, of Malone, was held for the ac- tion of the Franklin County grand jury yesterday afternoon when he waived examination before Police Justice Frank Bigelow. | White was arraigned by Lieut. C. 1B. McCann of Troop B, who, with Sheriff Edward B. Frenette, brought the youth from Detroit, arriving here Monday night. White waived the right to coun- sel after the complaint had been read charging him with burglary in the third degree and grand lar- ceny in the second degree. The burglary upon which the complaint was basfd was committed at the F. I. Stockwell clothing store the night of December 17 where a cel- lar window was broken to provide entrance. A quantity of clothing, valued at $135 was t«^kon in the burglary. After White had been informed of his rights, the youth waived exami- nation and was ordered held for the grand jury which will convene here the week of February 17th. White was apprehended in De- troit after an extensive investiga- tion had been made of the Stock- well burglary and thefts at U\f Malone Hardware Company and Cardinal Hardware establishments by the criminal investigation bu- reau of Troop B.

COUPLE DRIVEN PROM HOME IN BANGOR FIRE Fire destroyed the Mrs. Lou Re- yome residence in Bangor Thurs- day night with a loss estimated at about $2,000 and drove its occu- pants, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Geddes, an elderly couple, from their home. The blaze started at about 11 o'clock and is believed to have ori- ginated from electric wires. Mr. Geddes was awakened by the odor of smoke. When he arose he found the electric lighting system out of order and the house rapidly filling with smoke that issued from the woodshed at the rear where the flames apparently started in the gable. Mr. and Mrs. Geddes made their way safely from the building- and as soon as the alarm had been spread, neighbors hurried to the scene and succeeded in saving the furniture on the first floor of the dwelling. The flames enveloped the house and spread through the barn con- nected with it at the rear. Before the barn was doomed, the fire fighters had saved the Geddes car and salvaged a quantity of farm machinery belonging to Will Col- lins which was stored in the build- ing. The Geddes home was situated a short distance north of Bangor on the highway connecting Bangor and North Bangor. The residence of George McNasser, opposite tho burning- building, was in some dan- ger from flying sparks but a shif f in tho wind removed this hazard. Mr. and Mrs. Geddos were taken in for the night by Mr. and Mrs McXassor. Mr. Geddes is a Spanish American War veteran. They mov- ed to the home last summer from Westville. Some insurance was carried on tho house by the owner, Mrs. Re- yome. LOCAL GIRLS ON HONOR ROLL AT POTSDAM NORMAL MRS.
