Used Address
Here To Conduct
Sale Of Chicks
A Lancaster using Mount
Joy as his home and business ad-
dress, defrauding purchasers of
chicks, ran point blank into the law
which is usually the case.
Victor E. Reese, of Juniata St.
Lancaster, was indicted last Thurs-
day by a federal grand jury on nine
charges of using the mails to de-
fraud purchasers of newly-hatched
chickens.
man
The indictments charge Reese ad-
vertised “blood-tested grade AAA”
chicks for sale at $4.50 per 100. But
in some instances delivered
at all to purchasers and shipped to
others chicks that were “weak and
sickly.” U. S. District Judge George
A. Welsh issued a bench warrant
for Reese and set bail at $1,000.
James E. Speake, a postcffice in-
spector, estimated that Reese re-
ceived $3,000 last year in chick sales,
using his home and a post office
box at Mount Joy as his business
address. Speake said Reese baught
up an oversupply of chicks from
Lancaster hatcheries at one or twe
cents and offered them for sale.

Drivers! School's open. Watch out

This is the warning extended to
all motorists by the Safety Patrol

Thousands of children are walk-

school. Although police and school
safety patrols are stationed at many
intersections to help children cross
safely, they must cross many un-

what energetic youngsters will do,
so be on your guard for children at
