DEMOCRATS CONTRIBUTE S2,O15 TO FUND
Robinson Sends Check To Dolan
 As Drive Ends
Postmaster General James A. Farley Shortly Small Contributions Swell Total

Waterbury's response to the Ma tional Democratic Finance fund, a campaign directed by Jarses A, Farley, chairman of the national democratic committee, was $2,015. A check for this amount has been forwarded to Dr Edward G. Dolan of Manchester, state director, by John F. Robinson, treasurer of the local committee and president of the Roosevelt-Cross club. Formal acknowledgement of the donations of hundreds of loyal democrats of this city is expected shortly from Dr Dolan, Chairman Farley and Frank Walker, national treasurer of the democratic party.
 Originally the local committee set $2,500 as it's objective, but re- garded $2.000 as it's minimum quota. Tn view of the fact that this city subscribed generously to the victory fund of last fall and plans are already under consideration for the approaching city elections, the success of the efforts of the committee is noteworthy.
 We are indebted to the rank and file of the democratic party of Waterbury for the generous re- sponse" commented Mir Robinson to-day "It was the 50 cents and the $1 of the hundreds of demo- crats, who voluntarily and enthusi- astically went to the polls in this city last November to cast their vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt and Governor Cross that made the suc- cess possible. The "big donations" of previous campaigns were con- spicuously absent in this response.

Largely Attended Last Evening at Waterbury
 Hebrew Institute
CHARTER PRESENTED

The 18th annual meeting Of Veteran Troop 29, of the local council of Boy Scouts, was held last night at the Waterbury He- brew Institute where Scout Execu- tive Arthur D. Marston presented the charter for the coming year.
 District Commissioner Harry S Hyde presented awards of advance meDt and scout registration certi- ficates to the boys.
 Sam Kramer was chairman of the exercises. The speakers in- cluded: Hyman Helfand, scoutmas- master Samuel Kramer, District c Harry s. Hyde, Scout Executive Marston, Louis Madnick, chairman of the troop committee, and Mendel Kross. Members of the troop committee present were: Louis Madnick, Herman J. Weis- man, Samuel Silverman and Sam uel Wilton.
 The meeting was held in con- junction with the Waterbury He- brew Institute directors meeting {. The investiture ceremony was in charge of Scoutmaster Helfand. The troop, the oldest in the city considering its Is years of con- tinuous registration, was in re- ceipt of telegram from Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf, who was un- able to attend.
 The telegram was as follows; Regret inability to be with you tonight. congratulate you up- on your good work. Never more than to-day do we feel the tre- mendous necessity of a character building organization which aims to inspire our youth with a love of justice, liberty and brotherhood, the principles which our great constitution teaches us."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-05

And while we are deeply grateful for the generosity manifested and the numerous small contributions. we feel that the campaign would have been a greater success if cer- tain leaders of the democratic party gave us their endorsement or a contribution. As it was re re- ceived neither. We made no assess ments and relied solely on a con- tributor's judgment and his ability to give. I know that Dr Dolan and Chairman Farley will appre- ciate the sacrifices made by scores of the contributors. They are now in possession of the names of all contributors and the amounts given and have perma- nent record of the men and women who responded to the democratic party's call for assistance"
 An outstanding feature of the campaigNs locally was the showing of young democrats associated with the Roosevelt-Cross club. In every district in which they had charge the quota was - over-sub- scribed. Their enthusiasm and eagerness for work were frequently commented upon. Some districts fell considerably below their allot- ment, but the amounts turned in by the younger element brought the campaign to a successful term. nation.
 The local committee included Mayor Frank Hayes, chairman; John F. Robinson. treasurer: Will, liam T. Harrington. secretary; John H. Crary. F. Vincent Ma, loney, Attorney Carmine Cipriano, and Harold T. Begley.
