within 30 days thereafter for the will be paid each year for this license. A provision in the ordinance provides against any persons or firms not exempted from winning exemption form getting a license by associating himself temporar- fly with any person or firm who are exempt.
 Ordinance Has Teeth Any violation of the ordinance will entail a fine of $50 for each offenuse. The funds collected from the license fees will be turned over to the borough treas- ury. So 1t may be seen this will be an added source of revenue for Naugatuck.
 Reasons given for the ordinance are "In order to promote the well fare, health and safety of the citi- zens of the borough of Naugatuck, | to prevent congestion upon the public highways of said borough; to protect the children of said | borough from the dangers of ac- cidents due to congregating on the travelled highways; to. promote the public health and sanitation with out interfering with the convenient distribution of the necessities of life, and to render as nearly equit- able as possible the conduct of the ordoinary course of business in said borough, and, to eliminate competition in the ordinary course of business"
 The unfair competition clause was that mainly given by the merchants for their request. The only persons exempt as provided by the ordinance arethose exempt ed by state and by the clause quoted above.
 The ordinance repeals all previ- ous ordinances and parts of or- dinances inconsistent with this ordinance. It will be in force and take effect imm ediately after passage. Borough Attorney Mar tin E. Gormley drew up the or dinance.
 War veterans and blind persons are exempt by state law.
 A complaint against the pro- posed ordinance was made yester- day by Pierce Freeman, promin- ent local resident.
 A group of 10 happy local youngsters returned home Monday from two weeks vacation spent at Lake Quassapaug at the Wa terbury Visiting Nurses associa- tion's camp there. They were children of needy families who needed the air, sunshine and gen. eral healthful atmosphere at the camp to build up their young bodies. They had a fine time there, enjoying the outdoor life immensely. This will be all from Naugatuck who will be at the camp this summer. This is the second Il group to go. They were sent through the local welfare depart ment, it is understood.

 Catholics to-day observed the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin here. It was Q holy day of obligation in the Catholic church. There was a large attendance at masses at the local Catholic churches. Many Catholics visited the seashore to- day.

More Fera Funds
 Sought for City

An additional grant of EZRA funds is expected for the city in the near future, according to Miss Eleanor Little, state administrators, who spoke at the meeting of the Rotary club at The Elton yester- day.
 Miss Little said she had recom- mended the additional grant to the state commission in order that a more equitable arrangement of the money be made to include Water- bury in the larger allotments granted to most of the cities of the state. Several methods where by the funds may be given out here under the federal law govern ing distribution are now being con- sidered, she said.

the Christmas spirit as expressed
in fir tree and holly wreath.
Over the door at the south en-
trance is a huge pine cone
studded wreath. Flanking the
doors are electrically lig h t e d
Christmas trees. Two more stand
between the columns Of the

The Same Spirit
In every window there hangs 9
red ribboned, red-berried holly
wreath.
In the kitchen there's just As
much to-do over Christmas dinneE
as there is in yours.
Being near these things. it
seems strange that there ever
should be efforts to "humanize"
the great and the near-great.
One can't be near the great
and the near-great long without
realizing that we all live pretty
much the same.
What They Want
If Santa Claus hasn't quite
made up his list there are few
items he might add:
Mr.. Roosevelt, for instance,
would like a gift-recovery from
the depression, work and pros
perity for all citizens.
If you'll bring him that, st.
Nick, you won't need to bring ths
President anything else.
Mrs. Roosevelt would like q
gift, too. Her choice is Just a
little more even chance for girls
who haven't got a chance now.
It's not so awful much to ask,

It's pretty hard to reach the

leads such a quiet life.

To LEAVE BED

CHICAGO, Dec. "a G.N.S).
Last Christmas the holiday greet
ings were restrained at the home
OF Patricia Mcguire, the smiles
were q bit forced as gifts were
exchanged.
For upstairs Patricia Mcguire,
famous as the modern sleeping
beauty" lay motionless, victim Of
the dread sleeping sickness. The
pretty, blue-eyed girl was in the
deep and impenetrable coma which
had gripped her since February,
1892.
But tomorrow the little bunga-
low will ring with hearty Christ
mas greetings. The smiles will
be genuine and broad and happy.
For pretty Patricia will leave
her bed for the first time in al
most three years to join the fam
lily about the Christmas tree, in
. wheel chair.
Her mothers gift to Patricia
will be a pair of slippers, with the
fervent wish the sleeping beauty
will soon be using them.

There was a large and enthuSl-

the exacting music in excellent

times all but drowned out the so
1oist.
It was not, Of course, q perfect
presentation. But so earnest were
the singers, so reverent and SO
understanding, that minor defects
must be overlooked and the pres

There was a marked improve

and this gives high hope for the
future.
Every seat in the chamber music

It was with a feeling Of trepida

came-wondering if this new

of the old Sextette which was re
Gently disbanded, is equally good.
They sang first a group o.
Christmas motets and carols in q

CHILDREN RULE
HOLLYWOOD 5
CHRISTMAS

HOLLYWOOD. Dec. "a G.NS).
Just as everywhere in the world,
Christmas is primarily a day for
the children in Hollywood.
Though many stars were giving
careful thought to the garb they
will wear at the races tomor-
row, which are expected to pro-
vide a real fashion parade. chief
thought centered todav on prep
arationS for the children's en-.
joyment.
Patients See Circus
The biggest pre-Christmas event
was q huge circus staged for
some 5000 former and con-
valescing patients of the Marion
Davies Foundation in a big
top" tent on the clinic grounds
with a herd of six elephants,
more than a score of big-time
circus acts, and plenty of clowns.
The Eddie Cantors, who, with
five children, top the Hollywood
star families, are in Europe. Joe
E. Brown, with four, is second,
and Harold Lloyd and Bing
Crosby, with three each, are next.
One of Hollywood's most famous
children will have her first Christ
mas away from the film capital
little Jane Bannister. Her mother,
Ann Harding, has taken her to an
isolated Nevada ranch, and Jane
will see her first snow and the big
gest Christmas tree she ever has
seen. Miss Harding is launching
a court fight in Nevada for COM
plete custody of the child.
What Shirley Wants
Shirley Temples sole request to
Santa was:
81 want a doll and a tub to
bathe her in. That's all I'm go
ing to say about Sanity, because,
if little girls talk too much,
Sanity might not treat them

Shirley's Christmas will be
spent at home with her father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Temple, at Santa Monica. The
little stars two brothers, Jack,

night as his three children, Glo-
ria. 10; Peggy, 9, and Harold, jr.,

HOPKINS TELLS

POVERTY

FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIER
ADMINISTRATORS


written Expressly for lnternG-
tionGI NetDS SerDtce)
More perhaps than any other
outsider, the staff of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
knows how lacking in the tradl-
tional pleasures this Christmas u
for many American people who
have always enjoyed them-the
exchange of presents; the family
reunion; the turning aside from
workday preoccupations to cele-
brate the warmth Of home.
Become Barren Words
For millions of people these
have become barren words. Gifts
can be few. Families are broken.
They have no workdays from
which to turn, and cold homes to
turn to. Unless we are blind We
cannot send greetings in the
terms of those things which peo-
PIC AdVC always CAPACooCN "AANA
they say Merry Christmas"
But the deeper significance OF
Christmas cannot be taken away
from the destitute. 1t means more
to them even than to those who
have known no discomfort. 1t Is
the birthday of one who diSliked
poverty and injustice and taught
that we are our brothers keeper.
Ready to Fight
Today there are more men and
women in America than there
ever have been before who believe
that poverty is wrong and that
it is unnecessary. There are more
people pitting their wits against
it and fighting it with no inten-
tions of letting up the fight until
not only our new poverty but our
old poverty is beaten out.
When that day arrives, Christ
mas will come for the first time
into the lives of those who have
never known it, as well as return
to those who have lately lost it.
In these terms, may 1 extend:
