IN THE HISTORY OF WATERBURY
THE BIC BARGAIN DAY OF THE BIC BARGAIN YEAR!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-19

Next Thursday, October 22nd, the public
of Waterbury and surrounding territory will
have the opportunity of purchasing all types
of merchandise at the greatest savings ever
offered in such city-wide event. Water
bury Day is not a promotion or sales idea
or bargain event originated and sponsored
by local newspapers, or the Chamber of
Commerce or the Merchants Bureau or
any other group, firm or individual. Water
bury Day is strictly community event.
Organizations Of every description including
banks, merchants, Public Utility Companies,
theaters, restaurants, parking places, etc. are
combining their efforts to make this day
the ssBig Bargain Day OF The Big Bargain
Year.. This event is far different from
anything ever before offered. Large merch'
ants and small-those on the main thor

The experts who glimpsed the comparative fistic ability of Young Stribling and Max Schmeling in the ring at Miami are by no means in agreement on what to expect when these two agile young men trade wallops for the worlds heavy weight championship in June, pro- bably at Chicago.
 The south is solid for Stribling whether or not it is still solidly Democratic. The pride of Georgia is as big a hero to the kids ane most of the older fans in Dixie Jack Dempsey ever was in other parts, but the critics like Schmel ing too.
 This departments feeling is tha+ the Stribling -Schmeling is as goo a match as the heavyweight division has had since the days of Dempsey Tunney rivalry, tn at Stribline should be the favorite inside ten rounds and Schmeling's chance improved over a longer route.

----ByPap

Minor League Depression
 Strikes Hot Bed of Real
 Big Time B.B. Performers

ATLANTA, Ga, April 6.-Nor- cross, the mother town of big league players, has been hit by a baseball depression that has laid low many larger towns in south ern minor circuits.
 Ncrcross has prided itself upon furnishing one major league base ball player for every 200 persons in the twon. The population is about 800.
 Until last year, in spite of this drain upon it's baseball resources, Norcross still had enough talent left at home to make a showing. The home team won the Granite league pennant, circuit com- posed of towns in central Georgia.
 Ivy Wingo led the exodus from Norcross. He was catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, accompanied John McGraw on his baseball tour of the world and closed his career year before last as assistant man. ager of the Cincinnati Reds.
 His brother, Red Wingo, played in the outfield at Detroit and now is in the Pacific Coast league.
 Two other brothers helped put Norcross on the map. Roy Carlyle, now with the Atlanta Crackers has the longest hit on record in a game at San Francisco. He play ed with Boston and Detroit and got in the 1928 worlds series with the New York Yankees.
 Cleo Carlyle, younger brother made the grade as an outfielder for Detroit He is on the Pacific coast.
 Other sons of Norcross are play ing in minor leagues. Nap Ruck- CT, for years the idol of Brook lyn fans, came from Milton county across the river from Norcross.
 Although the mother town claims that it has as much home talent as ever, supporters of the sport gay it is doubtful if team will be organized this year to enter any league. Golf and motoring have subtracted from the gate receipts

NO BEER FOR MAX

Schmeling is an earnest young man of 25 who has developed h'n- self with much seriousness (cou- pied with some breaks) as first rate heavyweight.
 The German has great confidence in his endurance as well as the punching powers and ability to adapt himself successfully to the varying styles of opponenss. He studied and copied Dempsey's stuff. He keeps himself constantly in good condition.

NEVADA, Missouri, April 6.-The Rev. George Rider, Kansas City evangelist. was shot and killed, of ficers said, by the Rev. J. A. Brown, at Halley's Bluff.

 Mrs. Rider said her husband asked Rev. Brown to conduct Easter services to allow them to attend funeral in Kansas City. Rev. Brown struck Rev. Rider twice, then shot him and escaped in an automobile.

sTRIB FLIES SCRIBEs


 Stribling likewise is somewha. serious youth, although he has been in the heavyweight fistic business long enough to seem veteran. w. L." is a more nervous type than Schmeling. He expends ener- gy in various ways outside the prize ring. He is particularly keen about aviation, a licensed pilot and a good one.
 After some persuasion he took Ed Danforth of the Atlanta Consti- tuition and Joe Williams of the New York rldTelegram for a flight over Miami. These earnest young journalists still are talking about the way Willie and Strib does a vertical turn.
 If Stribling can handle Schmel- ing as cleverly as he does the stick" of an airplane. he will be the next heavyweight champion and the first southerner to break into this select company since the brief reign of Marvin Hart, the Ken lucky farmer, back in 1905 and 'O6.

CARNATIONS have been working for long
time to get the government to discontinue
this unfair practice but 50 far without sue

that the government is gradually working
as a competitor into many lines of industry,
sentiment may be aroused that will put
stop to that practice. As matter of edu-
cation for the public we append here list
of the many lines of business in which our
government is now an active competitor

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21-Peace and
good will may prevail this week in
American homes but not in the halls
of congress The holiday recess found
the national legislative body in tur-
moil with factions and partisans con-
stantly at swords points. Only an un-
changeable optimist could anticipate a
rift in the clouds of discord. The presi-
dental campaign and congressional
elections over Swallowed the whole
scene to the detriment of helpful and
essential law-making. Unfortunately,
there is no leader or set of influential
men and women that possess the power
of bringing the Yuletide spirit to a
realization. Harmony is impossible
while ambition for high office and
power hold sway over the hearts and
minds of political figures.
