BAND CHORALS
 FREEZE TIGHT

The Juneau City Band started out last Monday night, Christ mas Eve, to serenade the town as was done three years ago, but the weather was too severe and there by hangs a tale.
 Fourteen of the members of the band gathered at headquarters at 8;30 o'clock Monday night ready for three hours of playing Christ mas carols. They piled into the band wagon and a closed car and went to Twelfth Street to first serenade the father, mother and daughter of the band, MT. and Mrs. Frank Garnick, and Miss Anita Garnick.
 Three selections were played in front of the Garnick residence and the fourth was started. Before 20 bars of music had been played the instruments were beginning to freeH. First the bass horn stop ped, then the clarinets, keys were froze; then the baritone stuck, altos valves would not manipu- late, only one valve would work on two of the comets, then the solo cornetist stopped to see what was the matter and, finally, the drums were getting frosty-at least there wasn't a note heard. Couldn't stick the bandsmen, however, and they completed the fourth selection by singing it.
 Then the bandsmen were invited into the coZy home of the Gar hicks to thaw out, were treated to hot coffee, cake, cigars and cigar cites The band boys concluded that an inside concert was better than outside. Several selections were played within the home, sev- eral were warbled and the bands men were getting ready for another try outside when Santa Claus sud- denly appeared and each musi- clan was presented with suitable gift.
 With this good start, it was de- cided to serenade several other places but weatherman Thompson was called up, told about the ex- perience of playing out-of-doors and asked if the weather was mod erating or getting colder Thomp- son said the thermometer was drop ping and advised the members of the band that they might get through with one selection, bu if the instruments had frozen ui previously it was holly wreatl to mistletoe they would do again.

He turned on red lights for the motor patrol, was answered by Motor Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy and Thomas Dwyer, who sped to the Scene. Nine minutes after the call had been received, the two policemen had under arrest two alleged burg lars and called for a patrol wagon.
 The two arrested were Artemus SibIey, 22, of S02 North Main street and Reynold Hamel, 19, of 8 Sparks rear Of the shop by the two motor -patrolmen, as the latter approach ed the building by different sides.

Waterbury experienced its first continued snowfall of the season this morning. Although the snow was light it served to make driv- ing dangerous and caused the Con- necticut company and the street department to get their sand crews into service.
 The light snow began falling shortly after 8 o'clock this morn ing. Due to the cold in the ground because of the cold wave, the snow chung to the sidewalks and high ways. On the outskirts the hills and dirt roads bore complete white coverings.
 As expected, the cold wave that held the city in it's grasp since last Friday disappeared yesterday aft ernoon and the night was fairly warm. At midnight, last night, the mercury on the Democrats record ing thermometer showed a reading of 27 degrees above zero.

THOROUGH STUDY
 OF MILK IS ON
Equalization Plan Could Be Operated Here, Says
 AdjustOr

Hartford, Conn, Dec 13.-(UP) A federal trade commission fact finding committee today was in- volved in an exhaustive study of Connecticut's milk problems as a hearing on the states control methods entered it's second day.
 Out of a batch of more than 40 witnesses, only one has testified thus far. Clifford E. Hough, former general manager of the Connecti- cut Milk Producers association and now federal milk market adjustor at Denver, Colo, related an equali- zation plan, such as the Connecti- cut board sought to put in force here early in the year, was suc- cessfully operating at Denver and in nearly 50 other large milk cen ters of the country.
 The investigation is being con- ducted by Trial Examiner Maj Will liam w. Sheppard with Attorney John W. Hilldrop, Tennessee, di- recting the questioning.
 The report, one of nationwide survey, will be submitted to con- gress.
 Hugh said he felt the equaliza- tion( plan, having been proven, could be operated in Connecticut with profit to both producers and dealers. Under the old penalty system whereby producers were as- sessed two cents a quart for all production under or over their fixed quotas, he said. many hard ships were complained of mainly because producers failed to ask for quota revisions.
 The trouble several years ago, when the entire industry was up- set and strikes threatened, he said, was due to "racketeering" in cheap milk
