Making willow plumes under unsanitary conditions. A dirty home, the father and several friends had been rushing the growler and booze was literally flowing around over table and floor. The father is a truck-driver out of work. The mother, Freddie (11yrs. old) and Antoinette (8 yrs. old) all work $ to $ a week now, "but we make $ a week in summer when we can work all day and not go to school." Vincent Tranutolo, 309 E. 110th St., ground floor.
