Local Coasters Try To Break Accident
 Records Of City

Thers is a strong possibility of a new record being established in Waterbury and vicinity this season, if coasting accidents continue at the rate they have within the past 48 hours. Since Monday at least six accidents in which the young sters were painfully hurt have been reported. Last evening Miss Helen Carter, 12 Sunnyside avenue, Oakville, suffered a fracture of the right arm at the elbow when her sled went over an embankment in avoiding collision with an auto mobile. Philip White, II. of Plymouth also suffered a fractured arm while coasting.
 The two injured victims were admitted to the Waterbury hospi- tai for treatment. Perhaps the most serious injured to date, Is Robert Cheravey, z. of St Paul street, who had both legs broken in a coasting accident Monday night on Division street. Miss Doris Truelove, IA. of Bbyden street was painfully lacerated about the face and head when her sled crashed into a parked car Tuesday night.
 Several other minor mishaps have been reported since the first snowfall of the season, last Satur- day afternoon. Mrs Anna Sundin of Kenilworth avenue slipped and fell in her home yesterday and suffered a fractured hip. She was taken to the Waterbury hospital for treatment.

 In giving this pledge, he made an impassioned appeal to the American people through the Unit- cd Press to withhold judgment on France, because he feels his couil- try will reconsider the action of the chamber.
 He expects France will pay, with the reservations he outlined to the chamber, and that such payments will facilitate an early solution of the entire debt problem. The next step in the debt muddle must come from France, he said.

 Away From Goods

Its motor was running when Patrolman Frank Magro came upon it shortly after he responded to the burglar alarm. The car was identified as the prop erty of John Lawlor of Plaza ave- nue, a member of the Waterbury fire department.
