Beavers at Slayton
Given Death Sentence

Guilty of destroying property, a
family of beavers was legally "sen-
fenced to death" at Slayton, the SEN
tence being carried out by game war
den C. H. Dethmers, who had the uni
que job of doing away with wild life
instead Of protecting it. The Beaver
insisted in building dam which caus-
ed water to flood portions of nearby
farms. AS fast as the dam was pulled
down, even though done at night, the
beaver reconstructed it by morning
with valuable willow trees and corn
stalks. After pronouncing his sentence
upon the beaver which were not able
to attend the hearing, the game war
den set his trap and two large beaver
hides and three small ones were sent
to the state capitol for official sale.

49 STORES JOIN
 IN ANNIVERSARY
Kay Jewelry Co Observes Establishment of First
 COast=tO=COast Link

Twenty years ago this month, a jewelry store. It was nothing conspicuous and there was no ra- 'dio broadcasting the event to the world. The manager by employ ing courteousness, and imparting goodwill soon found his store to be the, leading jewelry establishment in the community. He sat back and pondered. If courteousness, good will and sound merchandise could build such a reputation in the city of Reading for himself, why could not the same principles be put to use in other stores. He decided to try. Today, the Kay Jewelry Company owes 49 stores throughout the United States. from. Boston in the east to Long Beach, California.
 This week, the Kay Jewelry Company is celebrating the goth anniversary of, the founding Of that first store. in all of it's coun try-wide establishments. Catering to more than a million customers, the company proudly announces it is the largest jewelry organization in America.
 The Waterbury store, managed by Adolph Kaufman and his son. Donald J. Kaufman, is taking part in the anniversary celebration and has extended an invitation to it's 17.000 customers to come to Exchange Place and join in the epoch-making event. Its custo- mers are found not only in Water bury, but throughout the entire Naugatuck Valley. The Kay Jew elry Company at IS East Main street, in addition to participating in the national celebration. is hav- ing little party of it's own. It is marking it's fifth anniversary in Waterbury, the store having been opened in 1929.
 MT Kaufman when queried to- day concerning the local sale. said outstanding values and unusually low terms are the features of the anniversary event. Particularly IS this true in the watch and diamond deparments, MT Kaufman said. The official added that the great buying power of the company as contained in supplying its 49 stores makes 1t possible to purchase lower and sell lower than it, could ordinarily. if there were fewer stores in the organization.

 'sIn the west lobby of the cen traI Y. M. c.

This col lection, gathered from time to time by members of the commit. te is the display which recently was removed from the walls of the library because members of the library board did not wish to enter into controversy with some of the patrons who objected to it.
 The display was not intended to antagonize anyone and the con- mittee considered it unfortunate e that it should have displeased these patrons. It regretted the re. moval of the exhibit but appre- ciated the good wiluof the officials of the library board and realized the position of that body in de- string to avoid pickering.
 Its members feel that some ,at- tempt should be, made, however, to correct such misapprehensions as were indicated in statements that the display was intended to pro- mote opposition to war in any form and that the public was be- ing asked to enroll in an organi- zation and to take an oath that they would not take part in any future war in the country, what ever the cause might be- ] Since it was deemed necessary to remove the exhibit from the li- brary at a time when it had aroused much comment and inter- est. the committee believed the public should again .have the op- portunity of seeing it.
