:. Another present was Frank B. Conine, first selectnan, according to 1 information that emanated from the | meeting Others were said to be Ivan l Warehouse, prosecuting attorney of the Town court; Representative George Fairchild, Selectman Sey- mour Wells of Paradise Green, and Frank Strausburger, of the Planning board, and booster par excellence of l Councilman Walter Keeling of the Eighth district. Now if these don't 1 border on the 'officer' class, the cOuncilmen must be major-genera1S. Anyway, the women came in for a banning. The fact that they vote the way they want to, after paying their two bucks, seems to arouse the ire 1 of some CT the old timers who are having just as hard a time getting g used to suffrage as they are prohibi- ton. Committees are to navigate the
 ship, of stratford around by the new rudder and try and line up the women to help oust Hunted; to help stop the referendum; and to try to thwart the recall attempts against Councilmeu Keeling, of the Excited Eighth; Turney of the Terrible Third; Sherwood of the Scuttled Seventh, and possibly Tomlinson of the Numb Ninth. There may be others, in fact there are others who are in "sourer" with their constituents than is Tom linson, who has the happy faculty of stating his mind without losing his temper or perspective.
 Others present at the jamboree, and
 who helped make Stratford center lively around midnight, enrouta home
 to luke warm baths were Vernon Morehouse, w. w. Leck, who was willing to be Town manager;
 Everett Sniffen, Walter Hubbell,
 Judge WelIes of the Probate court,
 Ambrose Shepherd, Dave Rhoades,
 Fred Townroe, whose census taking
 job was done cheaper than usual by
 Town Manager R. F. Hunter, and
 MT. Brush of the Sixth district This
 is all according to reports. There
 citizens" including Michael Goode of 20, 900 fame, and many many more.
 No doubt many mean well. No
 doubt the good Ship of Strattord
 would send out an s. O. s. if it had
 the strength; but why accom- pIish, or
 worth while. in privacy. in secret, and
 while full of food. The council has
 become unpopular largely because of
 just this sort of a performance. The
 t'Rudder Club" will have to be more
 pro and less anti and open to
 the world, to be of much real good.
 Otherwise it will drift into the same
 r-ut with the 'Hcivic' associations, ct al.
 They do say that another meeting is
 to be held next Saturday. at which
 time 'progress'' will be reported It
 is also asid, however that the meet
 ing will probably NOT be at The
 Stratfield because 1t was "too ex-
 pensive." Perhaps the "Rudder
 Clupb" will charter a Sheffield
 Lunch, or George Dwyer's lunch wagon on the million dollar plaza.
 Tn the meantime. this came from the other camp Saturday night. Just

ersl As predicted in the Times Saturday, sssa although denied by a number close sssto those in attendanceA a ''secret meeting was held at a dinner at the srsStratfield hotel Saturday night, by sra large number of anti-Hunter voters
 of the old Town of Stratford. There 2 were 57 in attendance, more were in- sVited and refused to come; and some who did come had their tickets @.Bought and Paid For" by someone E else.

 Calling themselves the ''Rudder .s Club and giving out the information taat the main idea of the organization .se to steer the good ship Stratford, S.lat is now lost at sea; along with a few antis in their platform, the "Rud- der Club, appointed committees to sA Stratford. All this was after one of those present is credited with the open remark. 'I wouldn't trust the best woman in Stratford.''
 =7 The "Rudder Club may be a good title for an organization that intends to steer the Stratford ship out of the fog, but no matterhow good the rudder may be @ ship will not go far loaded down with anchors, and with hot air rushing down the hatches : and the sooner some Ot the crew present Saturday night goes into nu- 4 tiny and gets a trip down the plank, 2 the better chance the "Rudder Club will have of making good.
 The club went on record as being anti-Hunter, which was an unneces- sary statement; as being anti-anneX- alton to Bridgeport and anti-Port of Bridgeport. It was also stated in no mild terms that 1t was anti-ab- batoir. This was also unnecessary, for an official of the Philadelphia company has already stated that the located in Stratford, under any cir curnstances. The latest dope is that it will be located in Bridgeport. This will suit Stratford to a ''T.' Locate the pig stabbing in Bridgeport. Then if it does smell loud the workers will be so anxious to get away from the odor after their days work, that they will live in Stratford, as far away from the abbattoir, as they can get.

AUTO THIEF NOW
 ACTIVE IN COUNTRY

Rural districts are suffering from the attacks of the auto thief this summer throughout Southern Califor- mia and hundreds of cars are being stolen at points outside of the cities.
 Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have secured re- ports from county officials giving ac- tual accounts of thief activities, and, working upon the information so sup piled, a campaign to thwart the theft gangs work is to be waged at once.
 Many motorists write to the theft bureau of the organization, asking if the mere removal of the switch key from the car is sufficient to prevent the theft of the machine. Auto driv- CTS want to know if that constitutes '1ocking the car"
 No--lt does not. This is the re- ply universally given by the expert thief catchers of the club. Other pre- cautions are necessary to preserve the car safely now since this part of the SboIC iAcAo pCSOlkLC khS IuCS(s 4o4 oOALAC of the most expert automobile steal ing gangs in America.
 Any device which will cause the thief to take more than three minutes in unlocking or filing or breaking is identified as a lock, but otherwise the car is not safe in any district, whether in thickly or thinly populated centers.
 No special device is recommended, but any safe lock is urged. Special owners identification marks are also urged upon car owners.
 Put a mark on your car in secret place SO even if the thieves tear the body to pieces and rebuild it you can kon wthat the car is yours," say club detectives. These secret marks should be so placed that they can be found only by the owner.
