either Thomas Albone or David Duncan or by calling Rev Thomas LeRoy Crosby at the parish rec tory. ment stores and who is cooperat- ling with the Methodist Fair here only because of friendship with a member; shirts and ties at ridicu- | lously low prices; and other suit able gifts for the season. The in- ltermediate league will have a candy booth in charge of Evelyn O'Meara, with quantities of home made sweets. A "handy campus" I--with apologies to "Andy's Campus"---wlll be run by the young men of the church., and serve refreshments both nights of the fair. The fair committee. headed by Mrs Jesse c. Hudson, and with Mrs William A. Titley serving as treasurer, has set as it's goal $500 for the church treas- ury; and indications, from the acc tivity and interest already shown by members and friends, point to the attainment of that goal. Two decisions made by the fair com mittee were: CD To encourage as much as possible only the sale of actually useful articles, suitable for Christmas gifts or attractive for home use; and (2) To maintain l throughout the fair @ one-price standard, with no last-night cut ting in prices. The bazaar, this year, has stimulated more interest than in recent years, and the com mittee expects 1t to be thorough success.
 One of the largest crowds to ever turn out for the Naugatuck "" annual meeting and dinner is expected tonight. This is due in part to the fact that this year the women are invited to attend and also because of very interesting | speaker has been engaged to tell of 'Y. work in other parts of the | world.
 The affair will be held in the boys lobby and everything is be- ing done to make this event noted one.
 Members of the "Y" Junior Leaders Corps will wait on table. Fritz Klambt wishes to state that ladies' gym and swimming classes wilffl be held as usual to- night regardless of the annual din- ner at the "Y". Classes will be held on regular schedule hours. Rally To-ngiht | The rally of the Waterbury group of Epworth leagues will be held tonight in the local Methodist church on Meadow street at 8 o. clock. More than 100 are expect ed to attend.

 No Federal Coal
 Last year, the superintendent said, 120 tons of coal from the government were given out free of charge as far as the coal was con- cerned but there was charge of $1.75 per half ton for delivery. This year there will be no federal coal and as there was only a little have to pay as usual for coal this year. It was great help last year. the superintendent said. l The social service Investigators report for October showed 77 of flee interviews, 37 home visits, 12 reference visits, 116 as an aver age number of men on the pay rolls, 60 new applications, IS cases reopened, 21 cases given service only, 40 closed cases and four in- surance adjustments.
 Miss Parker had charge from Sept 1-17 and from Sept 17-30 Mrs Alice Sowgill was supervisor and Miss Katherine Brennan, so- cial service secretary. Miss Bren- nan is now a chief investigator and is assistedl by Miss Conlan.
 The term reference visits means calls made from other cities in out side states concerning persons who have resided here and who are liv- ing in those cities. The cities usual ly wish to find out if the person cannot be sent back to Nauga tuck.
 Supt Cox said a mistaken belief prevails that once a person is a legal voter in Naugatuck he is en- titled to relief if he needs it. This is not true, he said. One must have lived in town four years with out receiving relief before com ing eligible if other conditions de- mand it, he told the board.
