STUDENT
 CHOSEN BY YALE CLUB
Joseph Stanley Azaro, N. B. H. s. 1926, Wins
 Year Tuition

Joseph Stanley Azaro, son of Mir. and Mrs. Stanley Azaro Of S17 kel- sey street and a graduate of the New Britain High school in June, 1928, Is the first to receive a free scholarship award from the Yale club of this city. When the plan is under way the club will be sponsor ing the education annually of student in each of the four years of school.
 The scholarship, which was decid- ed upon by the club members some months ago, is financed by means of voluntary contributions from Yale graduates in this city of which there are about 100. It provides for the partial support Of the student during his four years at school
 The committee appointed to de- eide on the matter consisted of Malcolm Farmer, Valentine Hart and Donald Gaffney. After studying the examinations of the 10 appli- cants and discussing the candidates as to their all-round ability, includ- ing their personality and general at titude toward life, the committee unanimously decided upon Azaro.
 The money spent on each scholar ship student is loan which he may pay back when he is reaping the benefits of his education after grad uation. He is not obliged to pay back the money for he is only under moral obligation to the club. The money paid back would be used for the support of other students.
 James T.. Cooper is president, Maurice Stanley is secretary and Harold Hatch is treasurer Of the Yale club.
 Azaro. who is IS years old, has entered Yale School of the Fine Arts and is the first New Britain student who was ever granted a scholarship to that school, At first the authorl- ties at the school did not appear willing to allow him this unusual privilege, but later decided to take exception to the rule and allow him to enter.
 During his career at high school he was intensely interested in art During his senior year at school he was a major in the subject and took a special Saturday morning course with Dewey Van Cott, director of art in New Britain schools. Mir. Van Cott said he is the most promising student he has ever had.
 It was at the instigation of Miss Norma Began. English teacher at the school last year, that Azaro de- cided to enter his application for the scholarship.
 He is the second New Britain boy to get Yale scholarship this year Boleslaw Chotkowski was among 5 boys from Connecticut cities who were awarded the Sterling Memorial honor and is now taking an academic course at the universi- ty.

Blue Law Advocates Intent Upon
 Ending All Sports and Business
Football Golf, Tennis Etc. On Sabbath Forbidden in Pittsburgh and Dover, N. Ill., is Facing
 Similar Sunday Activities Ban

Pittsburgh, Oct. ! LR - Penn sylvania's second largest city today faced the prospect of "sportless" Sunday with an additional ban on Sunday sales of tobacco and con- fections a strong probability.
 Invoking the blue laws" of 1794, ignored for more than century by police officials, James NJ. Clarke, Pittsburgh's director of public safety, yesterday prohibited the playing of any Sunday sports, in- cluding football, baseball. golf, ten his and quoits, and then declared he would strictly enforce every phase of the blue laws" which ban all Sunday activity but that necessary for life"
 Talk of applying for an injunc- tion to prevent carrying out of the directors order was heard in foot ball circles but nothing definite along that line yet has been done. Doubt whether such an injunction could be obtained was expressed by Samuel H. Gardner, district attor- ney of Allegheny county.
 Golf Links Included
 Under the directors order, all Pittsburgh golf courses and tennis courts, whether on public or pri- vate property will be closed on Sunday unless legal efforts fore stall Clark's move.
 If Clark gets ahead with his plans to enforce literally all phases of the "blue laWs,' all stores in the

PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL SEE GAMES BY RADIO Receiving Set Provides Thrills for Fans" at
 Institution

Not only on the bleachers and in front Of newspaper Playograph boards, or at radio receiving stations does the public enjoy the world series, neither is enjoyme ent of the national game confined to the phys ically normal.
 At New Britain General hospital the halt, the lame, the crippled and the convalescent forget their bodily ills to listen in on radio while the game is on.
 There is no shop talk during the game. Physical ills and symptoms are forgotten. Patients do not swap Surgery experiences" when the scores are on the air.
 A large radio outfit has been in stalled in the male ward and all male patients in the institution who are able to be moved are taken into this ward during the world series games and enjoy the thrills of Babe Ruth's home run hits almost as en- thusiastically as the crowds who follow the Herald Playograph.
 Yesterday afternoon more than 50 men, some of them confined to beds which were wheeled into the ward, some on wheel chairs pushed by orderlies, some on crutChes and a few who were able 10 walk sup ported on the arm of a nurse, visit cd the ward and enjoyed the game. They came from the private rooms on the third floor, from the semi private rooms on the first floor, from the wards on the second floor and boys from the children's ward. Pains and afflictions were forgot ten and they formed a happy, cheerful group, cheering, laughing, clapping and making friendly bets as one batter or another struck out, or swatted a liner over the center flelder's head.
 Doors of the sun porch were thrown open and those who were able, occupied rocking chairs out doors, enjoying all the comforts of the front porch of a summer resort hotel while their imaginations fol- lowed the audible reports over the radio.
 When the game was over, most of the patients, cheered by their thrilling experience, were reluctant to return to their rooms or beds, and "sat in" as long as nurses would permit them, on radio programs.

CANADIAN LIQUOR LAW
 DECLARED A FAILURE
M. E. Church Prohibition Board Says It Causes
 Mere Vice and Crime

Washington. Oct. R - The system of government control of liquor in Canada is a failure, the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Metho- dist Episcopal church declared to- day in a long statement reviewing conditions in the dominion since the end Of prohibition in Quebec and other provinces.
 The board explained that its conclusions were based upon a personal survey by Ernest A, Grant, its assistant research secre- tary, and upon government docu- ments, newspaper articles and other material. It added that "only facts and figures of undoubted au- thenticity are used"
 Summarizing the conclusions re- sulting from the survey, the board says:
 Government control in Canada has meant:
 An increased consumption in liquor.
 Greatly increased use Of alco- holic liquors by young people and women.
 "A swollen liquor bill.
 "A great economic loss, which has halted prosperity and acted as burden upon the general popula- ton.
 Increased vice and crime, i'm posing upon the governments ex- penses which have burdened the taxpayers.
 "A corruption hitherto unknown in Canada.
 An illicit trade as great as that under any prohibition law"
 The survey of the Methodist board was undertaken because of the recurring proposals in this country for the substitution for the present federal prohibition of the so-called Quebec system of govern ment sale and regulation.
 Comparing conditions in On- tario with those in Quebec, when Ontario was operating under q prohibition law, the board said:
 The experience of Ontario with prohibition was the same as that of the various American states. Prosperity increased, labor was more productive, drunkenness and crime fell off and the general health was greatly improved"
 Turning to conditions in British Columbia, Manitoba and other the board declares gov ernment control has been no more than in Quebec.
 "The brewers who are asking a of the intoxicating li- quor trade in the United States" it asserts, "are as troublesome there and elsewhere as they are in the United States"
