 which has been in existence two years and was known all during that time as the Swastika club, has changed it's name to the Nutmeg club.
 The club had a swastika as it's insignia, and although a member explained that "our swastika differs from that of Hitler's followers, ours is straight, his is crooked" it was felt that the general public did not understand the difference and as- sociated club members being favor able to the Hitler cause, which the club certainly is not.
 So the change was suggested and a name good enough for this state is certainly good enough for the club, members feel. The Nutmeg club is made up principally Of Union City youths. Sport activities and social events form the pro- gram of the club. Members of the organization are preparing now to take over and clear up a section of land near Lake Quassapaug.
 Next summer they will have camp there, they now expect. Many of the members are swimmers.
 JOSeDn NhlrIln DIeS
 Sincere grief was expressed by hundreds of Naugatuck residents today on hearing of the death yes terday of Joseph E. Martin. for mer tax collector and assistant postmaster here. MT Martin died last night about S:30 at the home of his aunt, Miss Josephine A. Maher, principal of Salem school, of 3S Cherry street, where he had resided for years.
 MT Martin was one of the most well liked borough residents, for he had a pleasant and kindly dispo- sition.
 MT Martin was assistant post master here under the late Thomas Ahern, who was postmaster about 1894. MT Martin also served as tax collector here for several years. He was a rative of Naugatuck and lived here all his life, being grad uate of the borough high school. At one time he worked in the shoe store of Edward Noonan on Water street.
 He had been quite i'll for several months and his death had been eX- pected for some time. He was d member of the Naugatuck hose, Hook & Ladder company for many Tears. having served as secretary of this association quite some time. He was a member of Ojeda coun- ell, Knights of Columbus. He was highly respected and was devout communicant of St. Francis church
 He was a lover of Naugatuck, being sympathetic toward projects to benefit the borough. His shoe business was located on Church street.
 The flag at the town hall was at half-staff today out of respect to the passing of one of the former borough officials. A large attend ance is expected at the funeral.
 Was Not Registered Democrat
 Announcement of the persons who registered Friday to become members of different parties re. vealed that Victor Burkus. demo- cratic burgess in the third ward. had up to Friday not been a regis tered member of the democratic party. This is interesting because usually only registered party men- bers are candidates for office. MI Burkus was named burgess this year, it is believed, to secure sup port from the Union City Polish and Lithuanian element and the fine showing of the democrats in this ward indicated he certainly helped. The republican majority in this ward, which is usually s. o. D. stronghold, was very slim at the spring election.
 Another thing shown by the reg istratiun is that Stanley Zapatka, candidate for the position of bur gess on the progressive party sev- eral years ago, has registered with the democrats this year. MI Zapatka follows George McNamaro who last spring announced he had left the progressives and cam- paigned for the democrats. It is just another indication of the ap- parent breakup of tn progressive party here.

The collection will be taken up next Sunday. Fath- CT Heating has many friends here.
