FIRST LOVES by FELIX RIESENBERG Second Installment SYNOPSIS: Johnny Breen, 16 years old, who had spent all of his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat plying near New York, is tossed into the river in a terrific collision which sinks the tug, drowns his mother and the man he called father. Ignorant, unschooled, and fear driven, he drags himself ashore, hides in the friendly darkness of a huge covered truck—only to be kicked out at dawn—and into the midst of a tough gang of river rat boys who beat and chase him. He escapes and exhausted, tumbles into a basement doorway. Later, he hears the trap door slammed, a padlock snapped down—and he is trapped. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY! "Becka! Becka!" "Yes, Pa." "Vill you shud de vawter off?" "Vot you dell me, Becka? I'd don'd run? I heard it. Do vot I told you; vill you?" Channon Lipvitch hobbed back through the basement, to the rear room. He shuffled, his feet at an angle his bearded face assuming an air of comical severity. It was an occasion and Channon Lipvitch, certain of his ground, determined to correct his daughter. Conservation, in the rear living-sleeping room, came to a stop; bathroom. And the back room, the home of the Lipvitch family, where they entertained their friends, at their meals, and slept, stretched the full seventeen feet from party wall to party wall. Hre father, mother, Becka and the twins, Muriel and Constance, the latter just able to walk, were sheltered. In the living room there were two beds, covered by colored spreads by day and shoved against the wall farthest from the windows, to get away from the night air. Becka and the twins slept on one of these and Mr. and Mrs. Lipvitch occupied the other. With the advent of Johnny Breen a cot, from a nearby second hand store, was placed beneath one of the windows. Channon Lipvitch, like the heads of many families preponderant on the female side, felt himself overshadowed by the growing impudence of Becka added to the volubility of Mrs. Lipvitch. A shrewd general in a trade, he was limp in the hands of his wife and daughter. To him trade was art; it was life, and life depended upon the teeming, crowding multitude who swarmed and squirmed in the alleys made him wary, while did of things beyond the ten wide avenues and greatest crossed his consciousness. John learned that millionaire the city, powerful, kindly mensely rich, looking about daughters of Israel. He suin miles and miles beyond the territories unexplored. A month in the Clothing—New and Second Hand—Breen part of a routine ther every phase of the business every phase of it but the wages. John lay awake after viewing the bitter struggle the harder by day. He are thirty, an hour before Li in the dark murky room on his trousers, and with sh went to the littered tub. In those mornings John wad fast to get out on the then he idled about until of Lipvitch. The street was show, a constantly changing with human figures hung on brick. As the mornings followed kept a wary eye for ruffles "Becka! Becka!" "Yes, Pa." "Vill you shud de vawter off?" "Vot you dell me, Becka? I'd don'd run? I heared it. Do vot I told you; vill you?" Channon Lipvitch hobbed back through the basement, to the rear room. He shuffled, his feet at an angie his bearded face assuming an air of comical severity. It was an occasion and Channon Lipvitch, certain of his ground, determined to correct his daughter. Conservation, in the rear living-sleeping room, came to a stop; the loud voices quieting while the splash of running water sounded from without. "So, you told it lies to me on Shabbas?" He bristled, but Becka, more voluble than her father, instantly replied. "It's in back, Pa. Don't be so sudden with calling me a liar. It's in the house in back. I hear it splashing, like you." But Channon Lipvitch was right. Water was splashing, if not in their apartment, then near by. Ha, he was right; his ears were not stuffed up. Water taxes were ever in his mind when faucets flowed. "Vell," he said, "shud id off, vy don'd you? Dell me, who is making sooch a splasch on Shabbas?" He was a strict man with his family—in the presence of visitors. The girl, big for her age, and plump, with an almost premature development, laughing and giggling, climbed through a rear window of the Lipvitch home, the living-, sleeping-, eating-room in back of the Clothing Emporium—New and Second Hand. She had to make a high step, a very high step, for they were on the basement floor, and the sills were high. Her skirt was tight and long, in fact, as she stretched one leg through the window, the other was uncovered far above the knee; a plump shapely leg. Becka, standing on tiptoes, her skirts lifted unnecessarily high, peered across the narrow area between the buildings. Through a broken window pane she saw a boy splashing over a rusty sink, under a tap of running water. He held a piece of hard yellow laundry soap and was working up a lather; his hair and face were streaming wet. The boy caught a glimpse of her, his eyes were wide with fear—blue eyes. She smiled at him. Then she turned hurriedly, her skirts up over her knees—her stockings were new and she made the most of the occasion. "Breathlessly she jumped down into the Lipvitch living-room." It's a boogler," she declared, almost fainting. Tremendous excitement prevailed in the Lipvitch home. "Quick, Papa, quick." Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin were urging and helping the reluctant Lipvitch at the window. Suddenly the water stopped. Lipvitch, in the area, caught a glimpse of a boy's face at the broken window of the town—it was a good place, this city, so full of customers always close at hand. On the Saturday afternoon of Johnny's introduction to the city his reception in the back room of the Clothing Emporium took on the proportions of an event. Johnny's story, given amid greedy mastication of seed rolls and gulps of tears and lukewarm coffee, thrilled the company with a sympathy grown quick through the age-long persecution of their race—a sympathy leading to monumental works of charity within the city. Tears coursed down his cheeks as he repeated, "My mother is drowned, my mother is drowned!" The "oy, oy, oy" of Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin punctuated the story. Mrs. Blumgren, with large wondering brown eyes, cried in sympathy, while Becka dried his clothes and sewed on buttons. "You are staying by us now," Becka spoke to Johnny, smiling, her face close to his. Tears welled in his eyes. He was terribly tired; kindness cut through him like a knife. Johnny slept on a cot in the corner. He drifted off into oblivion, exhaustion and exaltation crowding back the female side, felt himself overshadowed by the growing impudence of Becka added to the volubility of Mrs. Lipvitch. A shrewd general in a trade, he was limp in the hands of his wife and daughter. To him trade was art; it was life, and life depended upon the teeming, crowding multitude who swarmed and squirmed in the alleys In those mornings John woke and fast to get out on the then he idled about until of Lipvitch. The street was show, a constantly changing with human figures hung on brick. As the mornings followed kept a wary eye for ruffles. He was suddenly confronted by a crowd of toughs. she turned hurriedly, her skirts up over her knees—her stockings were new and she made the most of the occasion. "Breathlessly she jumped down into the Lipvitch living-room. It's a boogler," she declared, almost fainting. Tremendous excitement prevailed in the Lipvitch home. "Quick, Papa, quick." Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin were urging and helping the reluctant Lipvitch at the window. Suddenly the water stopped. Lipvitch, in the area, caught a glimpse of a boy's face at the broken window. The little man, he was a head shorter than his wife, struggled to command his voice. He did not look formidable in his black silk skull cap. His features worked convulsively. "Vot iss! Vot iss!" He exclaimed excitedly. The boy looked harmless, frightened. "Vill you come outt?" Lipvitch screamed. "Or if you don't... I—call polize!" "Papa, it's only a boy." Becka was again climbing through the window. "Here, boy, come out to us." She rapped and rattled the weathered sash. "I'd's only a poy. Only a poy." Mr. Lipvitch announced, as if terribly disappointed. He greeted Johnny with a smile, and held out a scrawny hand to the strong fist of the boy who leaped up without effort, a ragged, desperate walt with wet hair and shining eyes. But Channon Lipvitch was triumphant. He had proven himself, with the help of circumstances. Before one's family and friends, bravery is a virtue. The Lipvitch Clothing Emporium—"New and Second Hand"—was not unlike the barge Cavalier, in shape, at least. It was a nice little business, buying and selling. In the back, branching from a dark, narrow hallway with a splintered pine door, were the work rooms lit by naked yellow gas jets and crowded during ten hours of the day with operators on pants and vests. Lipvitch took in piece work on the less difficult parts in manufacture, hiding his help from the tenements of the street. His stock did not spoil, he bought cheap and sold at a profit, even when protesting with vehement that his loss was great. Back of the two work rooms came the kitchen, small and dark, opening to the living room in the rear. At one side of this, back of a sink, to save plumbing, was the mother is drowned!" The "oy, oy, oy" of Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin punctuated the story. Mrs. Blumgren, with large wondering brown eyes, cried in sympathy, while Becka dried his clothes and sewed on buttons. "You are staying by us, now," Becka spoke to Johnny, smiling, her face close to his. Tears welled in his eyes. He was terribly tired; kindness cut through him like a knife. Johnny slept on a cot in the corner. He drifted off into oblivion, exhaustion and exaltation crowding back the events of the previous day and night. Days of bewildering complexity followed on his establishment in the family of Channon Lipvitch, as a cousin from the farm, for so Elkan Nesser, a malamud, advised. Slowly the river dimmed. Johnny Breen learned of synagogues and rabbis. He thought the whole world consisted of the river and the Ghetto, nothing else. Becka became a dominant force in the direction of his emotions. He burst out of his clothes, his strong body never tired. He could lift Becka high up so she might reach the top shelves in the shop; she was often needing things there, and then, suddenly, he refused to lift her, but climbed up himself and found nothing. John had achieved a prime requisite for worldly success. He was known four and five blocks away as "Fighting Lipvitch." He became a celebrity, nothing less, elevated above the boys on the street; on a par, in fact, with young men four or five years his senior in point of age and a decade beyond him in worldly lore. The Grogan Gang, out for revenge, cruised the Ghetto. John Breen, with brass knuckle dusters in his pockets, a reckless light in his eyes, fought when there were no more than two or three, and took to his heels before a gang. He rather liked fighting, it added to his popularity. He began to absorb the philosophy of the Ghetto, the kindly brotherhood of those who live within the pale. He also absorbed a tremendous stock of self-conceit and confidence. Once he hit a rash young man such a terrific crack, the blow landed on his chin, that the victim lay for a half hour unconscious. The story grew by telling and the fame of John Breen took on added stature. Fighting kept his mind alert and NOTICE IS HEREBY OFFERED TO THE Board of Supervisors of Orange is required by law as a Board of Equalization Monday of July of each year reason of the fact that this day of July, 1932, falls under day of July, a legal holiday of Supervisors sitting as Equalization will be in session transaction of business as Equalization on Tuesday 1932, and will continue in such Board of Equalization including Monday, July 1932.

BACKS Clerk of the Board of Surveys 48 Killed By Hunters In '31 Astonishing Number of Hunting Accidents Revealed by State Figures Carelessness on the part of hunters in California exacted a toll of 46 people killed and 98 injured during the fiscal year just ended, according to figures prepared by the state division of fish and game. These figures are larger than recorded for many years, and exceed the record of last year when 33 persons were killed and 94 wounded by firearms. In this year's list of fatalities, 28 deaths and 51 injuries are designated as self inflicted; 11 were killed and 41 injured by others; while 7 deaths and 6 injuries were undertermined as to origin. Deer, bear and lion hunting accounted for 9 deaths and 14 injuries; quail, duck, geese, dove and rabbit hunting was responsible for 16 deaths and 55 injuries of hunters. Rabbit hunting contributed the largest list of fatalities—eight persons being killed and 18 wounded. Three were killed and five injured as the result of being mistaken for deer. Last year four were killed and five injured as the result of this mistake. Of these killed during the past year, 12 were under 21 years of age; 26 over 21, and eight the ages were not determined. Of those injured 46 were under 21 years; 11 over 21 and 45 the ages were not given. In view of the fact that nearly a quarter of a million hunting licenses were issued during the past fiscal year, the fatalities are not of a high percentage.
