chaos and as far as one nation can work it, ruin for the world. The

TWO LUCAN YOUTHS SENT TO

courts of allowing youthful law

sentence on their first brush with

Magistrate Hawkshaw declared. “If
bad boys were ‘jacked up’ on the
first offense, it might do a lot of
good,” his worship said as he sent-
two first offenders, Roy Evans,
22, and Thomas Shingler, 20, both
of Lucan, to reformatory for four
to six months each. Thomas Smith,
19, who has a record, went to prison

Then the storm blew up. Cars were stalled. The mail-carrier
