| Judge Roche's death comes sud
denly and unexpectedly, quite SINH
larry 10 the death of Judge Meskill,
his predecessor. Judge Roche was
admired and respected by the law
yers of New Britain for his learning
in the law and his -mindedness.
He was a most conscientious and
faithful public servant.
His father. the late James
Roche, was also judge Of the city
and police court of New Britain and
member of the law firm of Walsh,
Roche & Meskill. Our city court
library Is the gift Of that firm of
lawyers.
Harry Roche's legacy to the city
Of New Britain may well have been
the same as that of Elihu Burritt,
who in his last will said:
II bequeath to this. my native
town, the undying affection Of q
son who held its esteem and special
tokens of consideration above III
the honors Which he received else
where"
Judge b. +. Carney
Judge B. +. Gaffney. dean In the
New Britain law fraternity, made
the following statement:
1.-The death of Judge Henry p.
Roche is sincerely regretted and
widely lamented.
I'm his death this community
has suffered a loss that cannot be
measured in words and will not be
easily filled.
His education was thorough in
its fundamentals. and his exper-
fence in law made him a complete
lawyer. He was modest and retiring
and he spurned the notoriety that
sometimes comes to practitioners of
law.
He was painstaking and thor
ough in his legal work. He never
made the practice OF law a market
for profit, but was thoroughly ethi-
cal and professional in all his works.
He had the judicial faculty in
high degree and was DESTROYS of
reaching a just decision.
"Judg Roche was high type of
citizen who performed the full mea-
sure of duty to his fellow citizens,
and to the state. The honors he re.
ceived were unsought, but were al
ways carried with dignity and abil-
ity. He had scarcely reached the
prime of life and yet splendid pros
poets were before him.

You understand that, after the

the ethics and traditions of a pro-
fession in which he had followed an
Industrious forbear.
ut is my firm conviction that this
unyielding effort to properly fill the
duties of his office and to see that
justice was done to all, regardless of
station in life, was too great tax on
his health, and that his death might
well be termed human sacrifice in
this day of civilization.
Judge Roche for many years
served the city as a conscientious
member of the school committee. AS
an attorney. he was a credit to the
bar and the bench.

TROOP RECEIVES
 BOY SCOUT MEDAL
Members Take Part in 18th
 Annual Triumphal Banquet

Patrol Leader Wallace A. Davis received the Troop 1 honor medal for 1929 at the 18th annual triumph- al banquet of that Boy Scout troop held last evening in the dining room of the First Congregational church The medal is awarded annually to the member of the troop whom the officers believe has been the most valuable scout in the organization. Scout Davis, who is the son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur A. Davis of Armis- tice street, has been in the troop for five years and is now leader of the Bear patrol. This patrol made a great fight in the troop efficiency contest during the season and has been a strong unit under his leader ship. Davis is also member of the troop bugle band and in the re- cent city meet participated in the first aid, verbal message relay. knot tying. and water boiling events. Dur- ing the past winter he and another Troop 1 member rescued 8 boy with a sprained ankle who had fallen in a snow-covered field and was in great danger from exposure until they found him, carried him home, and gave him the needed treatment.
 Award for Baker
 Senior Patrol Leader William A. Baker, who had won the medal in 1928 and was therefore ineligible to receive it again, was awarded a special bar inscribed Leadership" which was fastened onto last years medal. This was in recognition of his continued good work during the past year, both in his official capacity and in organizing the troop signal team and bugle band. He is the son of Mir. and Mrs. William E. Baker of 37 Mason drive.
 The banquet, held in celebration of Troop 4's recent 18th victory in the annual city championship meet at Willow Brook park. was attend- ed by approximately 100 persons in spite of the heat. Among the guests
 
 and speakers were Scout Executive Oscar A. Erickson; E. l.. Warren. president of the New Britain coun- cil; Deputy Commissioner Neil Mac Dougall; Bliss w. Clark. chairman of the troop committee: Rev. Theodore A. Greene, pastor of the church: and Rev. A. D. Heininger, minister of religious education.

WALKER GIVES OUT RULES FOR YOUTH
Advises Against GrudgS-Says
 to Learn to Relax

New York. June 19 R1Mayor James J. Walker in copyright article in the New York American today, his ty-eighth birthday, gives his rules for retaining that youthful appearance for which he is noted.
 The mayor writes:
 Learn to relax.
 Don't fight with yourself.
 Keep shy of internal friction.
 Don't waste time in vengeful thoughts. It never gets you any, thing but trouble and futility.
 Don't feel that the world is set against you.
 And don't let yourself cultivate the notion you're great little fel- low. For, as the paraphrasers of the bcatitudes have it: Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.
 T well recall how, many years ago, my dear old dad took me aside one day and told me: Don't ever waste time, son. trying to get even with someone you fancy may have wronged you. Because, just as soon as you finish getting even with him there's bound to be someone else"

time to be presented with the tradi- tional pedometer with the admoni- tion to watch his step"
 Kimball then had his revenge when he read the troop prophecy. forecasting what dire things would happen to the troop officers and members during the next 20 yearA This paper created much laughter. Richard Hube and Leon Dickinson assisted Kimball in the preparation of it.
 At the conclusion of the program motion pictures of the Memorial day parade and of the recent field meet were shown.
 The meal itself was a bounteous one. The food was brought from home by the various boys, while young women of the church served as waitresses.

Playful because of an enforced vacation of two days. during which time not Are alarm was sounded tn tho city, firemen at Number l company had to have something to take up their excess energy. Tues- day evening was hot. Someone thought of water.
 Water is cooling. Early in the evening garden hose was procured and the street in front of the fire station was thoroughly soaked. But that was not enough. and like moi- ern Alexanders, the firemen looked about for other fields to conquer. Chldr, with swimming suits over their shoulders, going to the nearest pool, were next. Az each one came past the fire station he would find himself subjected to a premature ducking. And. strange as it may seem. once they were thoroughly wet they did not mind it a bit. They stood in gronps and let the firemen play as much as they wanted to.
 In time that also palled. Then they turned on one another. Half asleep on their chairs at the front of the station some sat. while others. fire playing in their eyes, cautiously. sneaked up on them and gave the signal. Water was turned on, and one row of seats was hastily vacated.
 And 70 it kept up throughout the evening. At least the flremen were cool 1t . time when a thermometer at the city building lowered between Ss and %.

Deputy Commits sioner MeDougall presented the troop with a triangular bandage out fit. Artemas 6tockman, sexton of the church, was given a box of cigars for his kindnesses to the troop during the past year.
 Scoutmaster Kermet E. Parker announced that the Stag patrol. led by Eagle Scout Raymond Mainer. had won the troop merit system efficiency contest and had set new record for total points while Mainer himself had led the individual SCOT CTS and had fallen only four points short of the troop record.

Kimball of 61 Lexington street, thereby suc- ceeds Baker in this office. His elec- ton was surprise, and he tried to hide under the table at the an- nouncement. but he came forth in
