 Officer William O'Day and John Kennedy arrested her and Lieutenant Matthias Rival questioned her at headquarters. She told him she was Jean LaFlammc. aged 20. of 2S4 Main street. Bristol. and that her Bristol police reported that there was no address such as she gave. Then she said she was Mary O'Brien, aged 1a, of 2s7 Fairfield avenue. Stamford. and under that name she pleaded not guilty to the charge of street walking when pre- sented before Judge H. P. Roche in police court. The case was contin- ued until tomorrow in $500 bonds.

Lll)vS CAST DANCE
 MARRIED BY DELAY
EredE xsnbas Have Long Ar- alnaat With Inn Management

The Lions club rendered its an- nual testimonial to tho members of the frolic cast last night at the Paragon inn. The affair started off with some discouraging features. 1t is said, including an argument with the management as to privileges in tho contract. For awhile 1t seemed as though the officers of the club might be forced to take their party elsewhere. The clash came over the question of admitting others than couples. As the cast did not con- tain an equal number of men and women. and some of the members were present without their wives, this was impossible and the guests were not permitted in the ball room until after 3 o'clock. when members of the committee finally prevailed upon the management to throw open the doors.
 Tho dancing started about s:5o o'clock and the program shortly after 10. A buffet lunch was served after 10:3o.
 The program was supplied by members of the cast and included speciality hits from the frolic. Old fashioned dances. which proved puzsling for the first few minutes to some of the younger guests. were directed by Attorney David L. Nair, acting as hoormaster. James ". Onorato had charge of the pro- gram.
 Problems, advantages and disad- vantases of radio broadcasting and the business Of supplying radio programs. were explained to the members of the Lions club at their weekly luncheon at the Burritt ho- tel today by James F. Clancy. man ager of WTIC at Hartford.
 MT. Clancy confined his talk in general to advertising by radio. pointing out that audiences are be- coming discriminatory and do not approve of using the air for sales purposes alone.
 4 delegation of Lions from the Bristol club was present and through Judge Joseph Donovan. former president. delivered a chal- lenss to the local club to compete in anything from baseball to bean shooting. including checkers and pie eating contests. The challenges wers accepted with the proviso that pincchls and cross word puzzles be included by l.. W. vogel and pr. Jeesph Potts. the latter being chairman of the athletic committee.
