COlorful Badges
 for Convention

It's been long time since there was as many special badges in town as there for the firemen's convention. They can be seen on lapels all over the city as delegates and other connected with the con- vention strut about proudly.
 And the colors The regular delegates have red ribbons with gold badges, while the others range from yellow to vivid green. Guest badges are white, press badges are orchid, celebrities badges are all colors of the rainbow. Just to make it more complicated, interprising vendors have souvenir badges on sale, with tin fire hats mounted on bright red ribbon.

 kas at St JOseph's

lC WSuuliSo OL &hAoo AASASiA ~ lonas of Chipman street, to James Danauskas, of Congress avenue Extension will take place at St. Joseph's church Monday morning. Miss ZeloLas and MT. Danauskas are very popular in the Brooklyn section.
 Matt Dunphy will return to his home on Bank street today follow ing a visit in New York city.
 Highland avenue has become a speedway. The avenue is perhaps the only thoroughfare in the sec- ton that is in fair condition and for this reason. perhaps. motorists take delight in running their cars at top speed from Sunnyside ave- nue to the B. w. Tinker school. There have been several complaints and it seems to be time that the maniac actions of some drivers have been curtailed.. It is needless to go into detail about the dan gers of a city street that is con- verted into a race track and the wild habits of unthoughtful driv- CTS will be either regulated or they will be brought into court for an explanation as to the reasons for their great hurry.
 Tomorrow more than five hum derd parishioners of St. Joseph's church will gather at Linden Park, Union City, for parish outing. The event will start at l o'clock and continue until late in the eve ming.
 The Lithuanian musical program will return to the air today. Their programs have been missed to a great extent during the past few weeks and should be greeted by large audience this afternoon. The principals who take part in the broadcast will offer . half hour rendition beginning at o'clock.
 The entire program will be un- der the direction of Professor Alex

Plans
 For Broadcast

Adding a real "big time" atmosphere to the firemen's parade this afternoon is the fact that the parade will be broadcast over Station WATR. The station will begin it's de- scription of the colorful spectacle at ? o'clock, with one microphone on a special stand in front of the. city hall and another atop of the marquee of the Poli theatcr on East Main street.
 The parade broadcast will be most unusual as far as Con- necticut is concerned in that the two microphones will be employed. Announcers will alternate as various points of interest call for comment from either Ir1icrODhOne

Plutarch Given Honor
as First Bioprapher

The word biographia biography Is
first found in the works of Greek
writer named Damascus, who lived
% centuries ago, but the stories go
back further even than he, for they
occur In the myths of nations so old
they are almost forgotten, stories of
popular heroes such as Hercules,
often exaggerated, yet In most cases
with at least grain of truth In them.
Xenophon. the famous Greek gen.
eral who marched for long months
through hostile countries, with lit
tie army of hard-bitten warriors, was
one of the first to write a real life
story. 1t was that of his master, the
great philosopher. Socrates. The first
real biographer was Plutarch, who
lived In the First century of ; the
Christian era and who wrote the gives
of 40 Greek and Roman heroes.
There Is nothing dull about plu-
tarch's Lives"
Monks and abbots of the early
Middle ages were the earliest British
biographers. Their subjects were
mostly saints. The first real English
biography was the life story of Sir
Thomas More by his son-in-law. VIII
liam Roper. Every angler loves his
Izaak Walton. but every angler does
not know that old Izank wrote de-
lightful series of lives of people OF
his time.
