HONOR CONFERRED ON GEO BROWN
On Young Mems C0nmit- tee of YMCA of United
 States
AN ACTIVE WORKER

George P. Brown of this city has been named member to the young mems committee of the YMCA's of the United States. This signal honor comes as the climax of a long series of honors in con- nection with volunteer work in the MICA. Starting as camp coun- selor in the summer of 1927, he later became advisor to a boys club and then to a young mems club. He is a charter member of the Square Circle club which he has served twice as president.
 He has spoken number of times on YMCA club work in his capacity as president of the state young mems council of the YMCA. He has been a member of the pro- gram committee and of the mem- bership committee of the inter-club council of the central YMCA in Waterbury. Just recently he was instrumental in organizing the in- ter-club council of the Brooklyn YMCA. In the summer of 1881 he was one of the Waterbury YMCA delegates to the worlds convention of the YMCA's held at Toronto, Canada. It is quite likely that MT Brown will attend the first Ameri- can assembly on young mems work in Chicago next August.

Urge Inspection
 or Electrical Work
City Official Warns Public of Dangers - Inspector
 Office Ready to Help

This should be apparent to any person because building properly wired does not require additional work when appliances are added. On the other hand inadequate wiring systems are found to be overloaded; circuits extended with flexible cords, and bell wires fused too heavy, and as q whole, many deficiencies are found which create active fire hazards. A householder who would not think of doing his own decorations or carpentry imagines that he can by some contrivance get current to an outlet to serve his needs. It is also true that there are comparatively few accidents and fires from elec- trical causes. This does not sig
 nifty however, that there is not a
 potential hazard ready to cause either a fire or an accident in any sub standard construction. A loose
 joint or short circuit will cause a fire.
 You need not fear to have your home or place of business inspect ed. A general inspection is needed tions deteriorates with time and AaSSoo tSPoiios ~ Aiioy oASS NV come obsolete and the inspector may tell you things about your equipment that may save your money. He may show you how to make your equipment more eff cient. Many complaints have been received from users of electric ranges and heating devices that they do not give sufficient heat. Also from the users of electric motors that their motors do not give enough power; sometimes their lights burn dim. All of these things point to faulty electrical constructions that use up energy for which you are paying but not getting results.
 T was called on a case the other day where the householder had an electric bill of $14.00 where she claimed that she only burned few
 lamps at a time. On making an inspection I found that the woma n
 had bought two light bulbs from second hand store for cents q pair. These lamps were frosted tungsten make with rating of 11O V-500 watts a piece. They give very little light and for that reason she figured they consumed but a little current. l explained the use of electric bulbs to her and left her in very satisfied mood. "One should call for an inspec- tion of his or her property and with the cooperation of the peo- pie I can help them to make their electrical installation safe, both from the fire and accident stand point. wish to emphasize the im- portance of not accepting any cleo trical work until it has been in spected and you have received d certificate of approval from the
 authorities. Courts have decided that unless your work conforms with the requirements of the Ma tional Electrical Code that you are responsible for any accident that may be caused through the negli- gence. This is just notice of eau tion."
