ATT'Y RICE EFFECTS CHANGE
IN BOY'S LIFE |
| Hudson May 28th—Edgar Reneault, age 17 years, appeared in the Superior Court yesterday, charged with breaking and entering. Atty John E. Rice appeared for Reneault. Atty Rice explained to the court that the home environment of this boy were such that the boy was not wholly responsible for his actions, he showed that the boy was not properly treated and that he was poorly nourished. |
| He asked the court that he be allowed to take the boy in charge for one month that he might show to the court that right living and proper care and encouragement would bring about results. The court granted the request. |
| Atty Rice has placed this boy on a farm where he is already doing light work and enjoying three good meals every day, and also will dispose of under orders, two quarts of milk daily. One and sometimes two packages of cigarettes were consumed by this boy daily. Atty Rice says that the boy has stopped smoking entirely since he has been placed on the farm. |
| He is interested in his work, attends church every Sunday and there is already noticeable change in his appearance. |
| Incidentally, Atty Rice said that it would be well if a probation officer were appointed in Hudson who would take an interest in the wayward youngsters of the town. He believed that such an officer with a proper head and heart would be a great value. |
