HIRE 40 "EXTRRS' AT POST OFFICE
WINTER ISSUE OF PHONE DIRECTORY
Will Be Closed to Further Changes on Saturday ].
 December 20
TO BE OUT FEBRUARY 6

The winter issue of the teIe- phone directory for the Waterbury district will be closed to further changes on Saturday, December 26, and prospective subscribers who wish to be listed and those who wish to make changes in their l;stings should get in touch with the business office before that date, according to Harold c. Davis, manager of the local exchange of the Southern New England Tele- phone company.
 subscribers who desire to in- clude in the new issue changes of address, additional listings, or capital listings for business pur- poses are requested to make such arrangements by Saturday, De- cember 26,- before the book goes to press" Mir Davis said. We also suggest that those who contem- plate subscribing for service should get in touch with our bus mess office and make the contract for service before the closing date if they wish their names, address es and numbers to be listed in the forthcoming book.
 "The new directory for Water bury, which will be delivered so as to be in the hands of all subscrib- CTS by February 6, will be some- what thinner than formerly, ale though the page size will be the same. Several exchanges will be eliminated from the directory and only exchanges that will be includ- ed besides Waterbury are Nauga- tuck, Thomaston, Watertown and Woodbury, instead of the 13 ex- changes included in the present book. This plan makes the book thinner and more convenient to handle.
 "The books for smaller ex- changes in the Waterbury district, such as Torrington and Winsted, will be about six inches wide by line inches deep, and the listingA will appear in two columns instead of three. The only other exchanges appearing in the Torrington direc- tory will be Cornwall and Litch- field. The Canaan, Norfolk, Lake, vile and Sharon exchange nstings will be in the Winsted directory.
 "Our plan for publishing small CT directories makes each dtrec- tory more convenient to use. We find by eliminating from each book the exchange listings which are seldom referred to by the majority of people receiving them, that we are enabled to provide directories of e more convenient size and at the same time reduce waste. Those who desire directories of ex- changes not listed in their local book may obtain them upon appli- cation to the directory depart ment,"
 Manager Davis said additional space will be provided in the front of the new directory for listing numbers frequently called.

John T. RiOrdan
 at WO1nen's Club
Talked on World Affairs
 at Meeting Last Night

President Hoover was likened to Premier Laval of France, Presi- dent Won Hindenberg of Germany and Premier Mussolini of Italy in an address given by John T. Riordan, head of the history de- partment of Taft school, at the monthly meeting of the Business and Professional women's club last night. The speaker said he is a republican but even if he were not he would sympathize with President Hoover.
 Mir Riordan spoke on history and world affairs and dwelt particularly on Germany. It is his belief that Germany could not be blamed for the World war, pointing out that she could have stopped the war when 1t, was begun. It Is doubt full ia she could have prevented any war, he added. He said historical facts of all wars prove that all nations weer responsible for the war. t The speaker averred that women control the world for they mould the boys in the way they wish them to develop. He said the hope l of the world today is the organized opinion of the women.

school consolidation in that county

to present indications.

If deserved under an equalization

Believed Profitable
state school officials declared
that by grouping several small
rural schools into a highly mod

ficient funds could be saved
through decreased teaching Staffs

solidation system not only ad-

SHOPPING? WHY
COURSE NOT

Indignant denial that the
Citizens Service Association is a
"snooping" organization wa S
voiced last night by T. B. Jarvis.
secretary of the association.
There is no "snooping" Mr..
Jarvis said at a meeting at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. Indeed no.
The association merely asks
persons to report violations or
suspected violations of the dry
law. Then a paid investigator is
sent to investigate md is often
able to get evidence where a
policeman would just take a
drink and pass on"
The Secretary's report showed
1888 tips on suspected bootleggers
were turned in during the last
three years, and that results
had been effected in more than
1000 of these.
