P. J. Phelan Ends 55
 Years With Brass CO.
Highland Avenue Man Given Purse By Fellow
 WOrkers-Started Work at IS

Patrick J. Phelan, of 35 High land avenue, employed at the American Brass company for more than half a century has retired from his duties at the West Main street plant. MT Phelan, who had completed his 55th year of service with the company, was given purse by his fellow-employes.
 Mir Phelan first went to work as youth of IS at the old rolling mill on East Main street. During his lengthy period of employment with the company he has seen many changes both in the factory itself and in the city. Since he first went to work at the plant it has grown to one of the foremost factories of it's kind in the country and Waterbury has become known as "the brass center of the world"

Counsel in Ohio Case Says
 Court Should Protect Car Owners

Cleveland (UP).-ls a parking lot responsible for a stolen auto mobile?
 The Ohio supreme court has un- der edvisement a case that will oe- ciie this question and which may have a far-reaching effect on als parking lots.
 The splaintiff. Frank T. Sheehan. whose seda was stolen July Is from the Syndicate Parking lot here. received judgment of $6SO. This decision was later reversed by the appellate court and Is now before the supreme court.
 Attorney J., R. levitt, in his brief. said that the negligence was obvious, since attendants should have been on hand to see if the person who took .he car had his ticket.
 This court should lay down rule of policy by protecting the public for such instances, as it lies in the hands of the parking sta- tion companies more adequately to protect their cars. and if they are not equipped to do so. the owner of an automobile had hest leave it at home or park it on the street.

THE JOBLESS MAN

Every morning at the stroke of seven, He dashes for the factory gate, With prayer to God in heaven, For change in his unhappy fate. He reaches there just in time, To take his place with the other men, And hear the same old line; Come tomorrow and try again. Back home he goes to tell his wife, All about this cruel old world, And saying that he's tired of life, With not thought unfurled Someday-he may be standing at the gate, Telling the weary and forlorn; I'm sorry for your luckless fate, Come back tomorrow morn.

Of chief interest locally to the stamp collector is the news contained this week in a special dispatch to the Demo- crat from Washington in re- gard to the new migratory bird stamp. Waterbury is one of six cities i'm the country where the stamp will be placed on sale.
 The stamps will go on sale about the first of next month, according to an announcement at headquarters of the biO- logical survey. All hunters Of migratory birds will be re- Uuired to possess one of the stamps. and they will also be affixed to state licenses.
 From Atlantic City comes the information that United States postage stamps will be printed during the last five days of this month as a fea- ture of the forty-ninth an- nual convention of the Ameri- can Philatelic Society, August p to 31. A full sized press and all other necessary equip ment will be set up, and special sub-postofficc estab- lished so that collectors may send letters with the special convention issue, mail them on the spot, and have them marked with a special cancel lation stamping. The stamps, according to William Jordan Jr., chairman of the COnvcn- tion committee, are to be of a special design which is being kept secret until the opening session,
 The exhibit this year will be limited to invited collectors, thus eliminating the danger of theft. There will be 50 frames" each approximately three feet square, displaying under glass the best album pages and covers from the fin. est collections in the country. It is expected that about 500 hlCAibCHS VI NklC SOSACty "hA 0t- tend. The convention commit tee reports a possibility that President Roosevelt, a member of the association, may attend the session, and that Post master General Farley may also be present.
 Important business to be- transacted at the sessions in the Hotel Madison is the plan- ming of campaign for con- gressional change in the rigid law which now prohibits the reproduction in print of any stamp. This ban works hardship on collectors and dealers, making it illegal for them to print illustrated cata- logues-"whcreas any counter feiter would work from the stamp itself, not from an illus tration," Chairman Jordan contends.

invention during the past 50 years have changed the whole picture in the manufacturing world so that 1t would be difficult to recognize the original plant as brass factory if it could be restored to-day, MT Phelan says.
 He was employed actively as a roller until about six years ago, when an injury made it necessary that he be given lighter work. Two years ago he and Mrs Phelan cele- brated their golden wedding anni- versary.
 MT Phelan has lived at his pres ent home on Highland avenue for the past 50 years, and expects to employ his leisure time in working about his property. He has two daughters, Mrs M. D. Healey of Watertown, and Mrs A. J. Stollar of Highland avenue: one son, J. Leo Phelan of Middlebury, and IS grandchildren

Bankers who have been in
