The case was in its fourth day when Flemmi Jumped bail. Judge Eugene A. Hudson ordered the trial continued without him and a Jury convicted Flemmi in absentia. Abboud testified that he and Flemmi 'were passengers in a car driven by a third man.

Abboud said he saw Flemmi tug at his belt and reach inside his coat. -Then, he said, he heard a click. Fearing he was about to be shot, he said he leaped over the seat and struggled with Flemmi, and in the struggle a gun discharged and Flemmi was wounded in the shoulder. After his disappearance, Flemmi was indicted in Suffolk County on a charge of failing to appear for trial.

GEW A multi-million dollars and a continent apart are the new Hoosac Valley High School in Adams, serving the educational needs of Adams and Cheshire, and the School Bom Jesus, in the small, poor, farming community of Fazenda, Vereda, Brazil. Byt strange as it may seem, there is a local angle. It happened this way. Two years ago, a move was initiated through the student councils of both Adams Memorial High School and C. T.

Plunkett Junior High School to organize a Peace Corps Project which would set up a school partnership program. The desire on the part of the Adams students in recognition of the extensive arid costly facility that was being prepared for them to do something for others less fortunate than themselves was fostered, encouraged and aided by Vincent R. Melito, social studies instructor in Grade 9 at Plunkett Junior High School. jf '1 1 -S I 1 1 "I 1. 0 ') Jr jl Hnwla I ttilnlnitrifffc lili HOWARD Jownsonj i "The Family Restaurant of the Village Beautiful' nt OPEN DAILY 8 AM to 10 PM ALL LEGAL BEVERAGES -Sg'Ci ry mj i mu S' 1A Route 2 Williamstown Route 8 Adams, No.

Adams Linel Mr. Melito, prior to his appointment at Plunkett Junior High School in 1966, had served for two years in South America as a physical education teacher in the Peace Corps -in Colombia and was keenly aware of the lack of educational facilities in the neighboring continent. Communication was established with Roger Manderscheid in Goiania, Hoias, Brazil, who brought to the attention of the Adams students the plight of the approximately 100 persons in Fazenda, Vereda in southern Brazil, an area only recently opened to settlement. The people there, it was pointed out, realized the need for schools but had little money and none to spare for education. Picutres were sent to Adams of the existing school, a tumbledown shack type of building with thatched roof built six years previously and, in 1968 falling into complete disrepair.

The townspeople were at their wits end how to cope with the school needs for their 37 youngsters. Contrasting the conditions which their unfortunate neighbors to the south faced with the elaborate plans for the multimillion dollar Hoosac Valley High School, the young people got busy at once, with pupils of all schools enthusiastically lending a hand to show their willingness to do something for others. Basketball garnet between teachers and students, dances, and individual collections soon raised $900. Of this, $800 was sent to Mr. Manderscheid far the Bom Jesus School.

The remaining $100 was added to a contribution from Knoxville Junior High School in Pennsylvania to build a larger school for a project in Togo, Africa, known as the Otandjobo Project. All of the $800 from Adams was used for the purchase of necessary materials with the people of the community performing all of the work. According to letters from Mr. Manderscheid, the arrival on Aug. 15, 1969, of the check from the Adams groups was the signal for work to begin.

The townspeople, using axes, shovels and a giant type of hoe called an anxada, took just one day to remove all bushes and trees from the area, doing all of the work by hand. From that point on progress was rapid. Walls appeared almost overnight, roofing, plastering, painting and cementing of the floors fell into place like clockwork and on Nov. 1, 1969, the school was formally blessed, communion was distributed and several babies were baptized. A program was presented by the school children and refreshments were provided by the mothers.

The afternoon program featured visits from dignitaries, much speed making and finally the serving of a meal prepared by the women and described by Mr. Manderscheid as mountains of food and gallons of punch. He noted also, that one of the skits prepared by the children involved the importance of protein and vitamins in the daily diet. Pictures of the construction of the school, from start to completion, together with much descriptive material regarding the entire operation, form an interesting collection lot members of the student council and Mr. Melito, all of whom are now enjoying their sumptuous new facilities and surroundings in Hoosac Valley High School.
