High And then after long telephone ca!ls' to distant parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, Coach Wise also met with more disappointments.

 There goes the starting gun, on your mark, get set, go and they're off. Once again 50 L. I. P. maple busters gather at St. Joseph's al- leys for what promises to be a hot race for honors with ten evenly matched teams striving to get the jump on the others.
 The officers elected for the year were as follows: Chairman, Sheriff John Penusaitis; treasurer, Joseph Cradles; secretary, Michael Hop Sheron: general committee, Joseph Stiklius, William Ice Arnauskas and Wally Pitcavage.
 And now for the brick bats: My, oh my "Wats Dis" Attorney Ed BObin is now Captain Bobbin of Q team composed of three ex-cap- Butch Stokes and Mike Hop Sheron. "Just watch our dust" saws Capt. Bobbin.
 And here is Doc Staneslow as lead-off man on Sheriff Jenusaitis' team, Dock took a night school course in bowling but gefore he could get under way and give us few pointers stork call from up around Jensuaitis park sent Doc scurrying out, not forgetting that the sheriff has a weekly search warrant out for Al Francis, looks as though Al will have very few absentee marks on his report card this year, and by the way, the sheriff himself hit 345 the opening night which is hitting them in any language.
 Neigh Ho, here's Rudy himself, beg your pardon. my error, its none other than Doctor Selens in his spotless white flannels, you sure gave us thrill, Doc. And here is Banker Ed Kazemekas in from fishing trip, knuickers n every thing, more suckers on the alleys than on Lake Candlewood, eh, Ed- die,

 Mrs A. A. Crane, president of the board of directors of the Leaven- worth Foundation, Mrs Frederick A. Scott, chairman of the commit tee on activities of the board of directors of the Waterbury Girls club and all staff members, full time and part time were present.
 Because the girls and women of the community are looking more and more to the Girls club for op- portunities to spend their leisure time in the most profitable and worthwhile ways the staff has been enlarged and old as well as new leaders have a crowded program which they have accepted and are already carrying out.

 The 18th district democrats met at Mulcahy school and completed plans for the election next Tues- day. Attorney Pickett pointed out the necessity of keeping in mind the fact that this year the demo- crats have the top lever and re- quested all present to talk this mat ter over with their friends.
 Vote Tuesday
 Some of the speakers at the 18th district meeting thought there would be nothing to the election, taking the ground that Mayor Hayes will have a walk over." But this kind of talk was not re- ceived with much favor. the gen. eral opinion being that every cleo tor who wants to see the present administration retained should go to the polls and pull the top lever, so that the public may see that residents of the district are not blind to their own interests and the general good of the commun- ity.
