Entered ta eecond matter I Poll Otllte, Kinpott, H. old i for rlpiton lutt. A Tear la FRIDAY, JUNE 1, J93S THE Newport has been a "navy town" for so long that the absence of the navy 'he great par( of the last few years has made ft ilrangc. Newport atrcets without tailors do not look like Newport streets to most of us. It will seem once moro like the old place New- portcrs used to know when the Training Station begins to fill up with bluejackets and apprentices.

It will ceem good. Newport likes, the men. of the navy for themselves as much as it UKcs the money they spend in the stores. The navy is big attraction for most Americans. Even If no sailor cvcr.opcnt a cent In Newport, the fact that sailors were in New- missing by not coming and staying later, wo should gain a great deal.

Possibly not much could be- done to bring many here early In June. Wise advertising, though, should pull a good many hero by June 15. By that time many schools and colleges have closed, business in tte most large places has slackened for the summer and there Is little to hold people In the cities except custom. If those who might come here could be shown the beauties of June In Newport, we have a jood-slzcd summer colony here some two or three weeks sooner than jJual. For a good many years wo have talked about doing something to prolong the slay of the summer residents.

We don't do much of anything about it, though. Possibly not munh could be done to change tho habits of our icgular summer colonists. We could try to attract new visitors here for tho long, lazy days of September however. If we hard and the trying were done intelligently, perhaps we could succeed. In these days when so many places are working so hard and advertising so convincingly to.

attract summer visitors. Newport cannot afford to sit back and lose money and prestige to places much less well Iraown and far less attractive.

Narragansctt bay, as every Newporter knows--or should know--produces shellfish that are unsurpassed In quality and taste. The Rhode, Island clam, baked as only it can be baked in Hhode money here and thus tho navy would be helping Newport's business, even If indirectly. The Naval Training Station here never should be closed. It is the best of them all, the experts agree. In addition the climate of Newport Is tho most healthful In America.

Thia Is no idle boast, but proved fact, vouched for by scientists who have no interest In this city or even In this part of the country. Once tte Training Station I opened again, every one of us must be alert to see that tho city is kept free of everything that might be a. harmful influence, for these young men undergoing training. No gambling or other Immoral establishments must offer temptation to the apprentices. No dealer must sell liquor to minors.

The authorities should not only be eager to punish any that offend in these ways, they should warn now that detection of such offenses will be quick, and severe. must not only protect these boys from harm, everyone must know we protect them. In this respect tho city must be not simply blameless, but above suspicion. Island, or sacrificing Its life chowder, Is one of the most THE COUNTY FAIR in a delicious foods known to man. Tht clam-bake, a Rhode Island Invention, may bo called a "Rhode Island clambake" in New York, Connecticut and California.

Only those Rhode Islanders that have eaten one of these mis-named alien bakes know the sad truth about them, though. Rhodo Island oysters are among the best. too. Newport used to to almost as famous for its oyster stew as for its clam chowder. Excellent chowder still IB made here, but o( late yesrs the stew made of fresh" milk and many fat oysters seems lo have lost its old-time popularity.

What's the trouble! Are wo losing our fondness for the famed delicacy? It is good to note that we retain all our former liking for the succulent clam, however. The clam-bake still la In high favor with Newportcrs, young and old, whether their ancestors were familiar wjth it or not.

It seems unlikely there will aaotber Newport County Fair. be As reported In the News not long ago, tho Newport County Agricultural Society voted r.ot to hold a fair next fall, and It Is suggesled the Society may sell tho grounds. It Is unfortunate that this has to be done.

The Newport County Fair, while never one of the larger exhibitions In thia part of New England, was, for all that, one of the Those in charge of tho thirty- five fairs that were held In Portsmouth always worked hard and Intelligently. Tho exhibits were diversified, and objectionable features a mar so many-fairs nowadays, never got a foothold here. Newport County produces some fine cattle and poultry and the pure bred stock from the Var.der- bllt and Taylor and similar estalcs always were shown. Manufacturers of farm machinery ani other goods of especial interest to those living in rural districts were always anxious to show their latest models to the people of this county. So all in ail, the Newport County Fair were well worth seeing.

Tho Fair gave resldsnts of New port ar.d their friends in Middle town, Portsmouth, Tivcrton Little Compton an opportunity was, perhaps, moro 1m portant in the old days than i later years. The coming of th automobile, of course, has mad it a matter only of minutes fo Newport people to go to Ports mouth, for instance, and for Ports rr.outh residents to come to sec their Newport friends and relatives. No Newport County Fair bcea held since 1932. We have missed them. Still, It must be gratifying for the Newport County Agricultural Society to look back and realize they dfd work, kept oat of debt and now compelled only by current conditions to abandon the fair tt.ey put on to well for thirty-five times.

The city council of Bergen I on. DROPPED. has offered a prize for the first! yacht to finish, and making the! lowest elapsed time for the. course. If four or more yachU start, a second prize will be awarded to the yacht with the second best corrected time, and in addition special Cruising Club pennants will be awarded for first, second and third places on 1 corrected time.

The Narragansett Bay Regatta Association has offered this second prize. It will be displayed at Friday night's dinner and will be sent to Norway with the other American trophies. Another prize has been presented by G. linger Vetlcsen of New York, a member of the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club, who is one of those promoting the race. He has left already for Norway, arid will be at Bergen for the finish.

In outlining the case Assistan Attorney General Michael DeCian- tis pointed out tlial Kllboum hail no record of any kind, that the accident was unfortunate, and said the parents ot Kelly did not wish to prosecute. He said the only evidence of drinking on the part of Kilbouru was taking several cordials. He said the car was going about 50 or 60 miles an hour, and all the. driver remembered was that he struck a pole. Mr.

DeCiantis said, in view of the boy's record and the accidental circumstances, he would recommend a.dcferred sentence. Mr. Moore, long a personal friend of defendant, und professionally connected wilh the school, spoke at Eome length. Young Kllbourn had. been there since 1928.

There was no public graduation because of sorne cases of measles at the school. The students were giving a banquet to Dr. Bateman, head master, who was leaving for Europe.

Mr. Harvey said, with emotion: "I can add nothing to what has been said." Judge Frcst said it was difficult for the court to determine whether this was a pure accident. There was high speed; there had been some drinking. As In most cases, there was r.o "intent." A few years ago it was uncommon" for high school pupils to or even to smoke. "Cordials" are pleasing, but often they are deceptive.
