Playground Echoes
DUGGAN

The first of weekly series of block dances under the auspices of the Duggan playground direc- tor, Cliff McHale, and Ambrose Shea opened last evening with a crowd of more than four thousand in attendance. During the course of the evening the scene was wis., ited by Mayor Frank Hayes.
 The already evident success of the program may be attributed to directors McHale and Shea, who with the cooperation of the sec tion's business men were able to face the task whole-heartedly.
 So large was the attendance that Sergeant John Phelan was forced to order the road closed to all traffic shortly after 8 o'clock. All north bound vehicles were forced to use West Porter and South Leonard street routes to lower Bank street, while south bound traffic used South Leonard street and Congress avenues. Washing ton avenue was closed at Charles street and again a thames and West Porter streets.
 Sergeant Phelan was assisted by Patrolmen Frank Butkus, Thomas Verastro and Bernard O'Loughlin. The ability of these policemen was highly commended by William J.
 Derwin, supervisor of recreation
 and police commissioners present. There was not a trace of even the slightest accident despite the very large crowd and hundreds of chill dren who romped around from
 place to place.
 The scene in itself presented a splendid appearance. Spotlights and string lights in several beau tiful colors added a touch of the old time atmosphere. The first couple to dance were Miss Bernice Smith and Fred Pavvone. They were followed by others and within a short time dancers occupied the entire square adjacent to Duggan school. Fox's orchestra, a colored
 band provided the music and their tunes certainly did go to the feet of the crowd. About everyone on hand kept time to the numbers, either by dancing or tapping and head nodding. It, was plain that all enjoyed themselves.
 The revival of this old time pas- time proved popular not only with residents Of Brooklyn, but also with enthusiastic lovers of the out door dances from all parts of the city. Many out of town folks also joined the thorng. All announce ments were made by James Jamele. The John Byron Coal Go loaned a truck for the occasion, for which the directors were very grateful. It was quote noticeable that all buildings nearby were taxed to ca pacity with people at every avail able window, on verandas, and even on the roof-tops.
 The announcement that another block dance is planned for pre- sentation on next Thursday night was the cue for a happy round of applause. It may develop that the crowd will double for the next event.

the primaries.
 It was thought the primaries would be held the week of August 9th, but since tLe registrars of voters have to hold registration of new voters on August and August 10th, it would not give the voters not on the primary list an oppor- tunity to take part in the primaries For that reason, the date for the primaries was set for August 18th, three days after the final registra- ton.
 It is expected that the conven- ton here for choosing delegates to the state convention at Eastern Point, will be held first and that the choosing of delegates to the other conventions, namely, sena- torial, probate, congressional; town and shrievality, will be hele after the state convention at East ern Point.

FRED CHOQUETTE

Youthful L0ckiaw Victim Still on Danger List,
 However

Encouraged by his response to treatment thus far, doctors at the Waterbury hospital this afternoon believed there was a good possi- bility of saving the life of Fred Choquette, three-year-old Iockjaw victim. The youth cut his leg last week against tree while playing near his home in Walnut Hill, Thomaston.
 Dr Joseph Hetzel, who is hand ling the case, this morning gave the youngster a second injection of an- ti-toxin. The boy's name is still on the danger list but he has shown some improvement since being ad- mitted to the hospital for treat ment.
 A Woodbury boy died of lock- jaw at the hospital last week in a case that baffled medical authori- ties for he had no cuts on his body and could not remember l1av- ing any recently.

The love and esteem in which the

such that the people will pay tribute
to him and perhaps go SO far as to
worship him as their leader, but the

how cherished he is in the hearts of
his Warm Springs friends. He is our
main inspiration, our light and hope
we look to him for guidance"
