Boody, Mel Go.
 To Close Local Office
We'll Known Exchange Office to Discontinue Service
 After 3z Years Member of N Y. Exchange

Boody, Mcclellan and Company,
 one of the oldest stock exchange
 houses in Waterbury. will cease to function late this month. The con-
 cern, which has been located in
 Waterbury since about 1902, has
 directed letters to all its local cli- ents informing them of the decis- ion to cease operations here. Elmer G. Ward, manager of the com pany, which has quarters in the Buckingham hall building, early this afternoon verified the report.
 Mir Ward, who has been manager of the local office of Boody, Me- Lellan and Company for the past three years, stated that when the Waterbury branch closes, he will cease his connections with the con- cern. He said today that he has no future plans at the present time.

 Asked as to the reason for the closing of the local office, Mir Ward said he was not in a position to issue an official statement. How ever, he expressed the personal view that the recently enacted law
 of Congress regulating speculative
 buying had much to do with the
 closing of the Waterbury office.

An extensive plan for fall and winter activity at St Patrick's was outlined at a meeting of the Holy Name society recently. According to plans made the Lyceum will be. recreation center for the par ishioners. Bowling, billiards, bas- ketball, volley-ball, ping-pong and cards will occupy the time of members. It is also planned to in- stall stove in the Holy Name quarters to relieve the expense of heating the entire building.

exchange regulations that very strictly govern the handling of speculative stock buying. Mir ward predicted that before the end of the year many houses throughout the country will close. Buying has slowed up considerably, he said. since the passage of the Roosevelt stock exchange regulations bill.
 Formerly on Bank Street
 The office of Boody, Mcclellan & Company here was formerly locat- ed on Bank street. It was shifted to the Buckingham hall building number of years ago. The con- cern has been a member of the New York stock exchange since 1879. MT Ward was manager here for the past three years. He was with the Boody, Mcclellan concern from 1912 to 1918. He then became connected with another concern, returning to the Boody, Mcclellan company in 1928.

Mrs Sperry Responds to Criticism of Nurses Appoint ment- Procedure Is for General Welfare

t I I|
 Defending the appointment of St Louis, Mo, applicant to tn Visiting Nurses association sta< Mrs Roger g. sperry to-day too issue with a contributor to tn Democrats columns. Writing ui der the name of 'Indignant'' a le cal reader took exception to tn of a new nurse on tn grounds that Waterbury had number of exceptionally we'll quail fled candidates for the position an that there was no apparent reaso for the association seeking out-of town applicants.
 Mrs Sperry in paying tribute | the high standard of efficiency c the staff also comments on tn in selecting nurses.
 Her interesting response Indignant is as follows:
 :. 10 the Editor of the Water bury Democrat:
 have just read the letter
 signed Indignant" printed last evening in the Waterbury Democrat, regarding the ap- pointment of a nurse from out of town to the Visiting Nurse Association staff. In the ab- sence of my nursing c0mmif- tee during the summer, I, as chairman, am entirely respon- sible for the fulfilIment of va- cancies on the nursing staff.
 The directors of the Visit- ing Nurse Association have just two functiOns-(1) to give the city the very finest public health service possible, and (2) to provide the money to pay for it.
 Public health nursing re- quires special training and ex- perfcnce, in addition to being Q graduate of a hospital train- ing school. For this reason, a nurse whose training is ad- euuatc for private duty nurs- ing or for Institutional work might not be qualified for pub- lie health nursing, and one who had this additional trasn- ing would take precedence over her. In considering the replacement of nurses we have been keenAy aware or inc un- employment situation, and of the need of certain Waterbury nurses for work. It has been extremely difficult to keep our 1Oyalties clear and to con- stantIy remind ourselves of our first function, namely to pfovidc the. very best public health nursing service possible.
 All the local applications for work in the Visiting Nurse Association have been most carefully considered, and in ad- dition, when we wrote to the National Order of Public Health Nursing (whO have on file applications from nurses from all over the country, in- cluding Waterbury, we laid special emphasis on the fact t6at we wished to consider lo- col nurses, and we did So.
 The appointments of nurses on the Visiting Nurse Asso- ciation staff are made entirely on merit, on preparation, and experience, and the application
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-13

that has the best qualifications gets the job. We are extreme Iy proud of our Visiting Nurse staff, and hold 1t our grave re- sponsibiiify to see to it that the standard of the staff Is maintained and in no way low cred because of the pressure of unemployment. It would be too easy, because of our sympathy, to accept file appii- cation of a local girl who might do or who might fit i'm, rather than to take one whom we do not know personally but whose qualifications are guar anteed.
 If the qualifications of sIn- dignantr had met those of the nurse employed she would have had the job and we would have given it to her gladly, pat ting Ouselyes on the back for being able to kill two birds with one stone, namely provide the best qualified nurse, and lessen the unemployment sit- ation fin Waterbury.
 At the presetn time, on our staff of fifteen nurses all but three can be considered local girls.
 The contributions to the Wis., iting Nurse association are voluntary. No one is urged to give against his will or against his best judgment. From our point of view the important thing is to see that we fulfill our obligation ably, give the best service, and spend our money in the wisest way. I repeat = we are extremely proud of our Visiting Nurse staff and we feel that their work speaks for them and stands high in the estimation of the community.

BETTER MART

Chesapeake Corporation, pri-
marily holding company for the
Van Sweringen Brothers Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railway stock, is
planning an issue of long-term
bonds to retire $18,0oo,O00 of bank
loans as soon as the security mar
kets are favorable for an offering
Of such securities.
The company contemplates the
issue of $18,OOO,0CO of per cent
bonds to be convertible into Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railway stock, &C
cording to informed circles. Of
fering, it was said, will be made
through Edward B. Smith & Co.
Chesapeake Corporations last
sale of its own securities was a
$4,000, 900 issue of 20-year con-
vertible collateral trust SIS, offered
to the public in May, 1927, by a
syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan
g. Co. and Guaranty Trust Com
pany.
Most recently the banking act
of 1888 forced the Morgan firm
to retire from the securities under
writing business if it ,ished to
continue as private bank, and
also required Guaranty Trust Com
pany to dissolve it's security-selling
affiliate, Guaranty Company.
A good part Of the personnel Of
Guaranty Company after its dis
solution was absorbed by Edward
B. Smith & Co., which firm ap-
parently has fallen heir to good
part of the security-offering bust
ness of the Van Sweringen enter
priSes.
Chesapeake Corporations bank
ers and legal staff are currently
preparing a registration statement
to be filed with the Federal Trade
Commission. A period Of 20
days must elapse after filing OF
the registration statement before
it becomes effective.

COTTON PRICES
UP DESPITE
OBSTACLES

NEW YORK, Sept. II GN.S0.
Cotton futures moved forward to-
day in the face of lower Liverpool
cables, irregularly in stocks and
an easier tone in grains. Trading
was not particularly heavy, but
there was a noticeable absence Of
hedge selling and liquidation from
the South.
At the opening, Liverpool cables
were more than a half dozen be-
low due prices, but an accumula-
ton OF overnight buying orders
from Wall Street and the domes-
tic trade motivated an initial up
swing Of to 7 points. With
trading at a slow pace, these
gains were easily held in later
dealings.
Local traders followed their
usual custom of selling on the
early upswing, while some Of the
larger spot houses placed offer
ings in the ring. These were
taken up by commission houses
and professionals.
Strike Outlook
Sentiment was aided today by
a more hopeful strike outlook.
Traders were impressed by reports
that % mills in North Carolina
reopened yesterday and prospects
were good for further reopenings
in textile centers today.
Another factor was the opinion
advanced by New Orleans cotton
men that the Census Bureaus cot
ton acreage report may possibly
be found out of line. One large
cotton establishment states that
it's crop meters had shown a
greater acreage than reported by
the bureau, but this was discount
ed at the time on the presumption
that leasing and abandonment had
affected the rear segments of the
farms.
Weather conditions were little
changed throughout the cotton
belt. Most sections had clear
weather, with scattered showers
being reported in more southerly
areas.
Noon quotations we're up to s
points, with October up 6 at 1898,
December up 6 at 1912, and
March up at 1921.

NEW 1885 CARS
CHANGE L|TTLE

Announcements of new models
by Packard and Auburn during
the past week suggest that next
years cars will not embody revo-
lutionary changes. Reports from
the trade also indicate that re-
finements, rather than radical
departures in design, will charac-
terize most of the new offerings,
says the Standard Statistics
Company.
Automobile engines in a num-
Der of cases may provide in
creased power, but no striking
improvement is indicated. Chassis
construction is pointing in the
direction of more comfortable,
safer design, to accommodate the
trend toward higher driving
speeds, shifts in engine position
and other notifications.
Probably the most general
alterations will be in bodies, with
further streamlining, although in
sharply divergent types, reported
planned. Ford is understood to
be preparing cars with more
radical lines, General Motors will
probably swing over to something
along the 1884 LaSalle body
design in it's other makes, while
Chrysler is reported to be modify.
ing the front appearance of the
Airflows. Chrysler's lower priced
cars, however, are likely to con-
tinue along more conventional
lines. Among the remaining
companies, 1885 alterations. prob
ably will be confined mainly to
modernization of style features.
Foremost among the factors
dominating next years model
changes will be the endeavor of
producers to hold their costs as
low as possible, as wide selling
price increases are regarded as
out of the question, without
sacrificing volume.

that inquiries for new business are
