PAGE FOUR wig fraud still going strong Special Assistant Attorney General Herbert Monheit, Phil- adelphia, warned the public to beware of a possible continua- tion of the fraudulent sale of wigs in Pennsylvania under several names, all from the same address, from which El- liot Scott operated the ‘‘Charles- Simpson Wig Club.” Post cards were mailed throughout the state announc- ing the recipient ‘‘had won a free human hair wig.” The deal involved the $15.95 to $19.95 ‘‘styling charge,” C.0.D.; for what turned out to be a 96 cents Halloween “Fright Wig’ with no styling at all. After investigating over 700 complaints filed in all the Of- fices of the Bureau, these cases were turned over to the U.S. postal authorities, who brought criminal charges against Mr. Scott. He was indicted in the Fed- eral Courts in Philadelphia in November 1967, and tried and convicted of 10 counts of mail fraud in March 1968. After appeals, Judge John P. Fullam sentenced Mr. Scott to one year in prison and four years’ probation in September enjoy Christmas Mrs. Charles Gosart’s Cancer Dressings Group enjoyed a Christmas luncheon on Tuesday in the social rooms of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

Four o'clock is the official time when vacation © begins, and the campus will be full of buses, bags and cars, and calls of ‘‘Merry Christmas’’ as the 900 students depart. Classes will resume on Jan- uary 6. A number of students will have left earlier, as soon as their final class ended. All agree that it has been a most unusual December, though. Last week an unexpected holiday of sorts occurred when classes were cancelled on Dec. 11, 12 and 13, because of a virus which kept many from classes, both faculty and students. Sr. Maria del Rey, R.S.M., academic dean, cancelled classes on advice of the col- lege physician, when about 10 per cent of the students be- came ill. The sick were happy for the chance to recuperate, and the well were delighted with the opportunity to catch up on reading, term papers, or Christmas shopping.
