 rounded and entertaining pro- gram.
 MT Sheehan was assisted in his directorial activities by Tommy Sul

 gales of laughter time and again. It was MT Sneehan's protege,
 Ralph Thomas, IA year old soft tenor singing youth who reached the highest mark of the produc- ton with his renditions of Little

 interlocutor and straight man for
 the laugh provokers thrown by
 Tommy Sullivan. MT Casey's sister,
 Miss Imelda Casey and her danc-
 ing pupils proved one of the
 bright spots of the program show
 ing a diversified routine of var

120 DELEGATES ATTEND Y STATE MEET
SOLEMN MASS FOR :. JAMES M'NAMEE
Bristol Policemen Paid Tribute to Deceased
 Officer at FOreStville
LOST HIS LIFE ON DUTY

Members of the Bristol police department attended solemn high mass of requiem in St Mat thew's church in Forestville this morning in memory of their late comrade, Patrolman James Me- Nance. The services marked the second anniversary of the patrol mans death. He was shot and fa- tally wounded in attempting to ar- rest five young men, passengers in q stolen car, which had stopped at Ebb's Gas station in Forestville. Three of the young suspects were Waterbury boys.
 The anniversary mass recalls to mind the exciting events of Janu- ary 16, 1929, the man hunt here in Waterbury and the capture of John Brophy, 19. The latter ad- mitted firing the shots which re- suited in the officers death. He is now serving life in Wethersfeld. Within a week or two another To- cal lad. Amideo Stango, appre- hended in New York city two months ago, will be arraigned in the superior court of Hartford. States Attorney Hugh Alcorn has
 
 charge which will be preferred that less serious complaint than second degree murder may be pre- ferred against the young man, who avoided arrest here and escaped to New York, where he eluded his captors for nearly two years.
 The authorities of Waterbury as we'll as County Detective Edward Hickey of Hartford. nemesis of the late Gerald Chapman, are con- tinuing the search for John Stack, alias Stackley, alias Stackalaitis. The two others involved in the case are New Britain lads. One of them Henry Schrager served year in jail, while waiting the long, un- successful hunt for Stango and Stack.
 It was on the morning of Jan uary 16, 1929, that Officer Me- Nance was killed. The automobile containing the young men suspect ed of numerous hold-ups sped to Waterbury and was abandoned on Camp street. A few hours later several Waterbury and Bristol po- lice had gun battle with Brophy in Pearsallville. The young man fled into the woods only to be captured at night by Patrolman John Christinat. He cluded scores of state and local police, armed with riot guns An aeroplane was even brought into service in the man hunt.
 Stack and Stango the night fol- lowing the shooting were quizzed by members of the local detective bureau in a North Main street pool room. Two days later when Brophy confessed the police attempted to round up the two. but they had disappeared.

Hartford Composer Features Demonstration of Cre-

The children gave a remarkable response to the music as played by Miss Burnham. She gave but few suggestions, guiding them by the clear and concise quail ity of her compositions.

 The children who took part in the demonstration were: Anthony Cucinello, Josephine DeVito. Betty Flammia. Shirley La Erie. William Bouley, Patsey Mangini, Bessie Pirro, Rose Moncelluzzo. Esther Walton, Laurice Spencer. Dorothy Norris, Anthony Graziano, Sylvia Muaraskauskas, Jacqueline Pooler, Barbara Foel. John Brown, Steve Marcucci, John Fiscelli, Mildred Brugas, Ida Vitarelli.

The Watertown Kindergarten as- sociation held their January meet ing at the B. w. Tinker school on Thursday afternoon. Miss Chris tine Burnham of Hartford, a com poser of rhythms and songs for children, gave a talk and practical demonstration of creative rhythmic expression. Miss Burnham began her work with children of four and five years of age endeavoring to develop their ability to feel and express the rhythm in music. She said music was too often interpre- tated for the child rather than al- lowing him to give his own ex- precision. This freedom helps the child to enjoy music more; it de- velops boise and alertness, and eliminates that feeling of self consciousness which retards normal growth.

MEMORIES.
BY Raw Brock

10y Ahdy 01OCk.
She laid her lovely head upon m,
breast,
And closed her eyes against the light
she fain would rest.
Worn and weary, the outlook drear
the worldly strife
Turned her to me; how happy to have
such a wife.
Friends may have failed or turned
aside, still / had her.
And in her love abided, for she wa.
true.
My only comfort in grief, my hope Ii
despair.
Her tenderness was my relief, it
soothed each care.
If joys of life could separate my poo,
heart from hers,
Then may no pleasure strong enough
to part odr love be my lot.
I'll ever remain bereft Of friends, real
or not,
Just to remember her true regard, her
presence bright,
Through illness, war and strife.
Oh! | thank my God tonight she was
my wife.
