WATERVuLE

The entire board of officers and vestrymen of St Paurs Episcopal church was reelected at the annual parish meeting held on Monday evening at the Waterville Street par ish house. Although no change ot personnel was involved, 1t was voted to make James R. Young an honor ary member and advisor of the board of Vestrymen. MT Youns' who has served as vestryman for many years, was about to retire, feel ing that his advanced years made such action imperative. The board felt, however, that it couldn't dis pense with the veterans presence and counsel whenever he could find it convenient to attend meetings.
 Mir Young Is one of the handful of surviving Civil War veterans in Wa terville, and the only one in Water vile. During his service he was, for time, a personal orderly to Presi- dent Lincoln and can always be counted upon to relate interestlnG stories of the martyred president. He has also served as commander ol Wadhams Post, Grand Army of the Republic and as commander of the Connecticue department.
 The other officers elected were William A. Faber, senior warden; Wilfred F. Pierpont, ST. junior war den; Clifford B. Northrop, clerk and Homer c. Senior, treasurer. The vestrymen are Lewis s. Williams, Homer c. Senior, Edward M. Cook son, James R. Young, Roland Graves, Clifford B. Northrop, Leon F.. TOtten: Charles H. Draper and Samuel Gibson.
 The annual report of the various officers were presented and accept ed. They showed the parish to be discussion of the proposed new church edIfice which Is to be built q. some puture date on the property at the corner of Mainville street and Thomaston avenue. The church is badly needed since the present par- ish house. which Is also used for church services, has become entire ly too inadequate for the needs of the parish. Bishop Acheson. upon his recent official visit to the parish, urged the undertaking of the new church project just as soon as funds on hand will justify the work.
 Annual Report
 The annual report of St Michaers parish read by Father O'Shea last Sunday, indicated the parish to be in excellent condition. The pastor was particularly grateful for the ex- cellent support shown during the year. which enabled the parish treasury in spite of the severe de- pression period. to nearly equal the income of 1929. During the past year extensive repairs and renova- tions were completed on the church. rectory and other buildings on the property.
 Mrs Phillips Improved
 Mrs Jane C. Phillips, principal of Sprague Grammar school. who is pneum onia patient at the Waterbury hospital. is reported as being very much improved to day. This news is most gratifying to her host of friends.

A member of the city's unemploy- ment gang working at Lakewood park, John Bijowski, was fined $100 and costs when found guilty of oper- ating his ear while under the iafiu- ence of liquor when tried in the com mon pleas court this morning. After lengthy trial in which 9 half doz- en witnesses testified as to the so- briety of the accused at the time of his arrest, Judge Harry J. Beardsley stated there was no doubt in his mind as to the guilt of Bijowski and imposed the fine. Judge Beardsley later placed the accused on proba- ton to pay the fine.
 Bijowski was charged with having operated his car on December 18th after having completed his days work at Lakewood park At the in- tersection of North Main and Easton avenue, his machine struck Mrs Mary Buano of Easton avenue, without injuring her. Officers Henry V. Hayes and John r. O'Rourke placed the accused under arrest on charges of driving while under the influence of liquor.
 Lieutenant Milton MacMullen was on the desk when the accused was brought in. All three officers testi- fed in city court next day where Bijowski was fined $106 and costs. Attorney Ralph c. Coppetto, appear ing for the accused appealed the case to the common pleas court and the trial was heard this morning.
 All officers again related the same evidence they gave in city court. Bi- jowski admitted having taken two small glasses of wine during his half hour luncheon period at the lake, but emphatically denied that he was in an intoxicated condition at 4:30 o'clock when he was driving several other workers home. He claimed that Mrs Buano walked in front of his machine after retracing her steps on North Main street, in an excited He said he was excited as it was his first encounter with police,

 "In years past, the Legion has taken membership more or less for granted and extended the privilege oe jointing throughout the year. Now however, we have learned that mem bership IS a necessary factor in Le- gJon success, and that the earlier we meet this problem, and get 1t out of the way, the quicker we can devote our undivided attention to the Le- g!on's program of service,' he sad.

Two civil actions involving Water bury people have been filed at the office of the clerk of the superior court at New Haven. One is a dam age suit and the other Is divorce. In the suit for damages, John Razor of Waterbury asks S35,000 against the New Haven road and Alexander T. Pattison of Simsbury.
 Razor alleges he was riding on a gasoline engine car, property of the railroad on last August IS, 1880, when at crossing on the tracks be- tween Simsbury and Granby 8 truck owned by Pattison struck the gaso- line care and knocked the plaintiff to the ground. Serious injuries which probably will be permanent in nature are alleged to have been suffered by the local man. The case is return able in court the first Tuesday of February.

ties. This fact. O'Neil said, was shown by the increase of member ship in the Legion last year 10 the highest point in the history of the organization, at a time when the de- pression was fully felt throughout the country.
 The American Legion has fi- nancial foundation of more than ST. O,000,. including the $5,000,000 en- dowment fund, raised to carry on the work of reha Utilization and child welfare, and the national eomman- der called the attention to the fact that Les S.onnaires are rather proud ot their reliability and standing in this regard.
 The full force of Legion influence, the local official said, depends to a great extent, upon the support given the organization by vetera through their membership, at this time. Work for the year is planned on the basis of that strength. Junior baseball, the promotion of Boy Scouting, the two hundred cr more different kinds of st rvice, and many other endeavors, await su3h membership to be start Cd on it's 1031 year of record break ing achievements.

LEGION COMMANDER URGES VETS TO ENROLL
WONDERING WHAT

Will Bus Service on Bald= win Street Be Better
 ThaH TEalley
CONFLICTING OPINIONS

Residents of the Baldwin street district hope that when the bus sup plants the trolley on Baldwin street the service will he more satisfactory than it is on Sylvan avenue. Buses are not run for sport, but after all a public service corporation should not expect to curtail the service to such an extept that every trip will not have enough passengers on board to make it nay. Storekeepers and others have lot of spare time in their places of business, but just the same they have to keep open, pay help and burn gas or. electricity sometimes both, whether there are customers to be waited on or not.
 The Connecticut Co has lot of accommodating employees, but they stand d good deal of abuse for things which they cannot help. The trolley gave good service on Baldwin street but if working people have to stand around street corners waiting for busses and then find that that when one comes there is not even stand ing room in 1t, there will be much confusion and disappointment which will make for fault finding in places where working people are expected to report on time. But it would not
 
 before it has had a fair trial, and people will wait to see what the bus will do before passing judgment on it. For all one can tell it may be an Improvement, but the people are in doubt and wondering what the change will bring. Most people want seats in a public carrier. It is a long stand, especially for women and tired workmen from the center to the end of the Baldwin street line, about q mile and a half. more or less, as the lawyers say when mak- ing out deeds, so as to be sure they had not made 9 mistake. It is true that those who lived where the bus took the place of the trolley say that it gives better results, so that it would be well to hope for the Fest and make up ones mind to be hap py no matter what way things turn out.
