ANNUAL EXHIBIT AT GIRLS' CLUB
SHERIFF CEDDES
 MAN OF HONOR
Sets Hims elf Right on Vacancy to Be Filled at
 County Jail
NOBODY NAMED AS YET

Tn an interview with a New Ha- ven Register reporter, High Sheriff James Geddes denied that he was planning to ignore Joseph Reback, brother of Assistant Corporation Counsel Nathan Reback, whom the executive committee of the republi- can town committee has recom- mended as the successor of the late Deputy Sheriff Peter J. McNerney.
 T gave my word that I would name the man the executive com mittee selected and I am not in the habit of breaking my word," Geddes said to a reporter to-day, who asked him if he was planning to ignore Reback and name his son, Donald, member of the state police de- partment.
 Newspaper men learned to their anazement to-day that Reback had not as yet been officially named to the post. They had been officially informed at the office of the high sheriff in the county court house last week that Reback had been selected as McNerney's successor.
 The high sheriff told the Register that as yet he had not had an op- portunity to talk with Reback which
  ficial announcement of his appoint ment.
 "Is Reback in or out?" the sher- if was asked.
 "He is neither until have had an opportunity of talking with him." was the reply. "I have been busy at Waterbury, where there is Q session of the criminal superior court in progress. have not had an oppor- tunity to be in New Haven great deal since the term started"
 There are two others who have yet to officially appoint" Sher- if Geddes said. "They are the depu- ties that the legislative provided for Orange and Madison. They will have to wait until July l."
 It was seen as possible in some quarters to-day that the selection by the executive committee of Reback as the candidate for McNerney's post, rather than Charles Alfonso, his candidate, brought about the res- ignation of Town Chairman Jo- seph F. Morrisey. In the voting, Alfonso got only Morrisey's vote. it is reported.

 Chairman Harris announced to- day that the men working on the golf course who have been held up during the past three days due to the rainy weather will be given employ ment beginning tomorrow morning so that they may make up their three days which they lost. They are to report at the golf couse to- morrow morning and then will be transferred to other jobs where there is sufficient equipment to take care of them.
 An Interesting letter, accompan- fed by a $20 contribution to the re- local woman. In the letter very important slant on the local cam paign for relief funds was contained. The letter reads:
 T am enclosing a check for $20 as voluntary contribution for June to September inclusive. If were not furnishing the entire support for two dependents and myself on a salary of about $50 per week I should not stop with twenty dollars
 T don't see how anyone with even a small surplus above actual needs can eat one meal in peace without having done something to relieve those who are less fortunate. How can anyone with the least intelligence fail to real ize that, even from a purely selfish viewpoint. 1t is better to give?
 When think of $9 per week for family of nine and realize that it will buy less than one quart good milk apiece, per day, I cannot help wondering where such necessities as soap and towels and bedding and medicine come in. Are not many persons selfish, or indifferent because they fail to use their imagination. to put themselves in the place of the other person? Can such people for instance, visualize the Waterbury child who, when questioned as to her pallor, replied cheerfully, "Oh, I'm all right; it was my turn to have breakfast this morning. We children take turns for meals.

 What puzzles the police Is the report given states the vault was locked at closing hour late yester- day afternoon. Someone familiar with the combination on the safe of suff1- ciently ,versed in the technique of manipulating the lock, an art cred ited to the much copied Jimmy" Valentine, was undoubtedly respon- sible for the break.
 The watchman employed on the premises visits the ofiice at least once an hour, but failed to discover anything wrong or out of place.

Rev James Gregg
 at Kiwanis Club

The natives of Hawaii, the larg- est island of the five which comprise the Sandwich Islands group, well come the eruptions of the only active volcano left as it stimulates trade and brings tourists, it was stated by the Rev James E. Gregg speaking at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at The Elton this noon.
 The island was discovered in 1778 by Captain Cook a British officer who was killed when his men were am pushed after they had maltreated the natives. Although he was not guilty of participating in the mal- treating of the natives, it cost him his life when his men were am- pushed.
 The first missionaries, five of them, sailed from Boston the same year that the natives discarded the old customs and the religious laws, so that they were ready to accept a new religion. Many converts to Christianity resulted.
 It took the missionaries 157 days to go from Boston to Hawaii. The Rev Mir Gregg spent some time on the island and is possessed of much information relative to the habits and customs of the people.

Willie Heston, Jr., Said by
Friends to Have Given
Up Football

Ann Arbor, Mich. Oct. 2i.-tP)-
Willie HeSton, Jr., who wishes some
times his name were Smith. is said by
his friends to have given up football.
Willie HeSton has been name to
conjure with at Michigan since stall
wart of that name plunged his way
into the headlines and onto Walter
Camps All-American football team a
quarter of a century ago.
A lot of fans joined Willie. ST.. in
hoping Willie, Jr., tthey call him Bib
would carve the name anew on the
football annals of this generation.
Bill came to Michigan in 1929 after
a much published prep-school grid
iron career in Detroit and at Manlius
academy, New York State.
This year he was assigned to the
"B" squad. When he didn't appear
for practice this week, someone asked
him Why He said he needed the time
for his studies. He expects to gradu-
ate in June.
His friends believe the responsible
ties his name carried have ruined
whatever chances he had to become
a football star because coaches and
fans expected too much of him. Some
remarks he made few years age
during his prep-schocl days would
indicate he agrees with them.
