 Young Waterbury thrills with anticipation as it contemplates the coming of Santa Claus and his huge bags of gifts. Thousands ol stockings will hang from thousands of fireplaces and thousands of little feet will trip across floors early Christmas day to see what Santa has brought. Almost every home will have its gaily decorated Christ mas tree; street windows will dis play holly and Christmas wreaths.
 The city's general observance of the occasion will center about the community Christmas tree on the Green, with its gay decorations and it's multi-colored lights. Around the tree tomorrow after noon at 5 o'clock more than 100 members of the Concordia singers will gather to sing program of old English, Latin and German carols. An hour previously they will offer their Christmas songs for the benefit of the patients at St Mary's hospital. Washington park has it's own Christmas tree, the decorations supplied by the Com munity club of that section. Chase park had party for neighborhood children last night, the plans in charge of Miss Mildred Dunne.. Hamilton park has a tree in the center of the ballroom floor at the pavilion, and the entire pavilion is glittering with Christmas decora- ton.
 Although the needy are not quite as numerous as in the past, they are all being remembered at Christmas time. The Lincoln House has sent out many huge Christmas bags, bursting with food, clothing and toys. The Diocesan Bureau of aoctal Service, its staff aided by a Volunteer corps, has distributed to all it's families boxes of individually wrapped gifts. The city welfare department has also done great aep while almost every civic and Aoeisl organization in the city is IlHking sorie contribution to the yeedy, Pareat-teacher, community a@ suG.&l clubs have all donated Christmas baskets, while the Sal- vation Army, its volunteer work CTS still patiently tending their Familiar kettles, plans to give Christmas dinners to @ number of families and individuals.

Don't Quote Me
(By United Press)

Washington, Dec 23-(U.P.) = Tomorrow afternoon, as the news reports have revealed, President Roosevelt will break another Washington precedent by holding a Christmas reception for all White House police, chauffeurs and serv- ants.
 What the news reports have not revealed is the reaction of these men and women, most of whom have served faithfully many pres- idents and their families with no- thing more in the past than a thank-you. Gray-haired Captain Dalrymple of the White House po- lice, who greets every visitor at the executive offices, acts as spokesman he says:
 T have worked at the White House for 35 years. And never has any president done anything like this for us. We are grateful"
 The captain will. attend the party. So will everyone else MT Roosevelt has invited. There will be presents for all children under IS, and refreshments for their mo- thers and fathers.
 Yesterday Mir Roosevelt called into his office all the stenographers and clerks who have handled his enormous correspondence. He thanked each one and gave each a present, in the form of an inscrib- ed book.
 Harry Hopkins. the hard-work- ing civil works administrator, Is experiencing the same kind of joy that must come to Santa Claus at the end of his annual trip. To Hopkins have come hundreds from citizens who are grateful, to him for providing 4,000 CWA jobs. Hopkins is happy, modest and little embarrassed. He said: Generally the cards are sent in appreciation for the work of the CWA. In many cases the letters received by me contain thankful words of appreciation by people who want me to know how grand it is to have a job."
 The Commerce Building, biggest governmental office building in the world, isn't big enough. The MIRA Is making it's walls bulge. All the 3311 rooms are overcrowded. The S2 elevators carry 800 people up and down at once, but citizens have to wait frequently for cars with room enough to carry them.
 The building covers three city blocks and has a gross floor area of 27,159,045 cubic feet. Even the gross area is in use by stenogra- phers and clerks who have desks set up in the halls.
 That still doesn't provide enough room for all the agencies assigned to the structure. The MIRA has rented more office space in outside buildings.

 MT Harris may say what he pleases, but the fact remains that this paper has been one of his strong supporters since he came to Waterbury. At the risk of making a coolness among people who call- ed to complain they were advised to take other means of seeking re- dress, and frequently went away feeling displeased and made no bones of saying so.

 MARKS OF BEAST
Seattle 'Times)

Bearing the scars of a three minute struggle with a giant All aska brown bear, Chris Cayafas, 3S13 22nd Avenue, s. w, arrived in Seattle yesterday from the North.
 Cayafas, master of the seiner Chris B., told today of the en- counter in which he barely escaped with his life. His arm is still in a cast after being broken in three pieces. Deep scars on his face, neck, back and shoulders bear witness to the ferociousness of the beasts at tack.
 Cayafas, unarmed, was walking along the beach near Little Port Walter on Baranof Island, Septem- Der II, when the bear attacked him. After Cayafas escaped he was talk en by airplane more than 160 miles to the Juneau hospital. He was in the hospital until october B.

the good and is coming back for more, with a bigger and better array of talent. Meanwhile he has kept his own game at such keen a pitch that his associates think he is capable of batt 2 r smarter and more effective match play tennis than ever before in his career.
 They point to his straight-set victory over his old amateur Ne mesis, Henri Cochet, recently ir Paris. The old master himself with becoming modesty, says he doesn't know how much longer his legs will hold out but that mean while he isn't reluctant to tackle one and all, including the 22-yeaI old Vines, twice national champion and once holder of the Wimble- don singles crown.

-SPORT
 SLANTS = By ALAN GOULD -: -:

Henri Cochet and Ellsworth Vines have turned pro in the most striking tennis shakeup since the plamy days of the C. c. Pyle Grand & Glittering Tour.
 It will not be surprising to see a number of others whose names have been in the headlines for sake the so-called simon-pure ranks. Whether or not the games ruling powers yield to the inevita- ble and establish open champion ships, as in golf, it is certain that the professionals will be better es- tablished, better organized and more in demand.
 Behind it all is William Tatem Tilden II, still the most colorful figure in tennis and perhaps the worlds greatest match player, amateur or professional at the age of 40.

A YEAR LATE

Tilden regards his forthcoming match with Vines, scheduled Jan- uary 10 in Madison Square Gar den, as the fore-runner of a na- tional tour, as a tennis natural. ' It will be interesting and it ought to be profitable but it will take considerable ballyhoo to offset the effect of the Californians down. fall along all major fronts of the 1883 campaign.
 Vines was urged by Tilden to turn pro after he swept all the big tennis tournaments in 1892. Els worth was then at the peak and Bill argued with him that he could not repeat, and then was the time to "cash in," but the Californian was supremely confident of his ability to beat everyone in sight

STREET GETS NEW BERTH IN
 COAST LEAGUE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 31. -Charles E. tGabby) Street, de- posed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, has found new berth as pilot of the San Francisco Missions in the Pacific Coast League for the 1884 season.
 Joseph Bearwald, president of the Missions Club, announced that Street has been signed for one- year contract. Bearwald did not announce the terms but it was re- ported the salary will be $8,000.
 Baseball men said that the man who led the Cardinals in two pen nants will be the first major league manager to take over a Coast League team.
 He played here in 1906 as a catcher for the San Francisco Seals. His next step was to Wash ington where he became Walter Johnson's battery mate.
 After service with other major league and minor league clubs Street became pilot of the Car dinals. His service in St. Louis ended in midseason last year fol- lowing a dispute with Branch Rickey, club president.
 Street will succeed Fred Hoff- mann in guiding the Missions next season. Under Hoffman the team finished seventh during the 1883 campaign.
 The new manager was given au- thority to run the team on the field and to make deals, transfers purchases and releases as he sees fit, according to Bearwald.
