 on Sunday Evening

What promises to be one Of the most popular of the special Sunday evening musical programs will take place at the Methodist church Sun day evening at 7:15 o'clock day light saving time, when Mrs. ". Clayton Burgy of Norwich, one Of the best soprano soloists in the state, will render a special pro- gram.
 Mrs. Burgy is soloist at the Park Congregational church, Norwich, and is widely known in concert work. It is her first appearance in New Britain.

NEW YORKERS IN
 PECULIAR JOBS
Range From Gold Duster to
 Sea SCabS

New York, May 21 Pl-Of the many strange ways which people have found to make living in New York City perhaps the strangest is that selected by Bill Smith. Beside being a porter with the Federal Re- serve bank of New York, Bill Is a champion duster and confines his activities to gold bullion.
 The gold stored in the under ground vaults of the bank must be kept just as clean as the floors and office furniture. Accordingly it is dusted whenever the vaults are opened. This may be every month, every three months, or even every six months depending upon how fast Uncle Sam spends his money.
 On these occasions 1t is nothing for Bill to grasp his trusty duster, step into the vault and flick the grey coating from several billion dollars worth of gleaming gold bars in an hour or two. The gold is piled in manner to make dusting an intri- cate job, but Bill approaches his subject in Q masterful way. His deXterity frequently amazes the guards who accompany him into the vault.
 As runner up for the laurels of New Gork's oldest job holder there is Walter Baugh, who finds the com- mercial possibilities in fishing tackle to his liking. Each morning at five thirty Mir, Baugh may be seen marching through Battery Park clutching 8 burden of fishing tackle and blood worms. He is tall, has only one eye, and ekes out a fair ex- istence peddling rods, lines and bait to those followers of Isaac Walton who set out via Battery Park.
 Fancying neither fishing tackle nor dusting, there are other individuals who wrest the necessities Of life and some of the luXuries, from the odds and ends abandoned by their fellow men. Some persons salvage waste paper from the streets, working fast in the first flushes Of early dawn to beat the city street cleaning depart ment Their paper salvagings are carefully baled and sold, while bits Of foil are rolled into balls and bring q higher price.
 Others make it their business to stay close 10 the docks and bounce upon bits Of cargo spilled when ships are unloading. Fruit and nuts they seize, broken pieces Of cheese, or occasionally bolt of cloth which has slipped unobserved from some cargo sling. A leaking case of olive oil always brings to light several mon with sponges and buckets.
 Although confning their activities 10 he shore. these men have coun- terparts alfoat. Those making a Iiv- ing from the waters do not fish. Seated in small boats, they drift about the harbor salvaging drift wood which is sold along Park avenue. mpregnated as it is with

Most of his time the Little Boy

He came into the house and he
