DOCS MUST BE
 KEPT CONFINED
Owners Who Let Them Roam May Find Selves
 in Serious Trouble
OFFICIALS TO ACT

A concerted drive upon Water bury dog owners who persist in letting their canines run loose through the public streets will be launched the latter part of this week. This action, directed by c, B. Ganung of the state department on domestic animals, is the result of the new mad dog' scare which occurred last week in Waterbury when one of the animals traversed Q goodly portion of the town, bit ing several persons.
 State and local officials were practically prepared to declare an end to the dog quarantine which the { city has been under since the early summer when the new mad dog' scare started. Added watchfulness on the part of the health deparf- ment, police department and do- mestic animal departments result ed in mourning a new worry and subsequent expense.
 Mir Ganung, 1t was stated to-day at the health department by Health Officer pr F. J. Godfrey. will visit Waterbury late this week and with the usual assistance will tour the city for stray dogs. Any dogs found will be picked up and prosecution sof the owners immediately de- manded.

Precipitation
 During Past Week
Downpour Lasted From Thursday Until Sunday

Almost thre inches of rain fell in Waterbury during the prolonged storm which visited the city last Thursday and continued up until the middle of yesterday afternoon. The exact precipitation was 2.S6 inches, which is considered very heavy rainfall for the closing part of the summer season within the period of three days.
 Waterbury's rainfall for such a long period was due, 1t is felt, to the severe hurricane which struck the southern part of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico last week and then continued up the Atlantic coast.
 ' Before hitting New Jersey or New York seriously yesterday, though, the hurricane suddenly turned out to sea but today was reported as causing much damage along the Maine coast.
 Waterbury enjoyed sunshine and clear weather during late after noon, yesterday and last night. The weatherman today predicted wea- ther flair and cooler" for tonight and tomorrow although clouds were hanging heavily overhead early this afternoon.

Though hirsute adornment or lack of it was the general subject of conversation and address Sat- urday evening at the twenty-first annual meeting of the Bald Head Club of America held at the Hotel Elton, two serious notes were struck by speakers that proved of vital importance and interest to all those present, and, for that mat ter, to every citizen of the United States.
 Urging national defense mino- edness'' Rep. Edward W. Goss jresented a few official figures that immediately conveyed to everyone the really precarious conditions Tn which the nation stands today m relation to it's defenses in case of attack by foreign power. Under the provisions of the National De- fense Act, for instance. a minimum standing army of 2S0,0O0 regular arm men is ordered, but the na- ton has just 126.000 trained com bat troops in all it's military de- partments with 0 comparable lack of officers in army, navy ana mar inc corps.
 DO you know" said MT Goss. "that in case our entire air force was called upon to protect the na- ton, we have no more than one single weeks supply of bombs, that could be used by our heavier planes in the process of attack or defense necessary following de- ciaration of war? Do you know that we have but 500 combat planes in shape for flight, when we should have i,S00 planes of this type. if we are to meet an enemy in the sir? That's q condition that comes of the propaganda of paciftsm and i fit is not eliminated quickly, God help us in our hour of need"
 Former Governor Charles A. Templeton urged his hearers to back President Roosevelt in his N. R, A. program by purchasing necessities and giving employment, without lock on either pockt- books or heart. "As long as the effort of President Roosevelt re- mains as sincere as we all know 1t now Is, every man and woman In American should help him to the limit, regardless of political aff- liation. It's q case of America first, last and all the time,' he said.
 Peter Fitzhenry of this city was unanimously elected to the presi- dency of the Bald Head Club of America. He was congratulated by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and Kenneth Wynne. executive secre- tary to the states chief executive. both of whom spoke in humorous vein of the organization represent cd by the shiny skulls which con- fronted them. The governor spoke briefly of his conferences with other state executives called to promote united effort to aid President Roosevelt through we'll organized state effort in each of the commonwealths represented az
