It’s Worth a Check for Justice

Schoolteacher Stephen Kobasa of New Haven lost his job at a parochial school when he declined to fly the American flag in his classroom. Now people who have long admired his commitment to peace causes are sending money to help his family through the ordeal of unemployment and finding a new job. An account has been set up at People’s Bank. You can send checks, payable to Anne Somsel and/or Stephen Kobasa, to the bank at 265 Church St., New Haven, CT 06510. Note that it should be deposited to account #116-xxx2421. And include a note.
