YOUNG GIRL SAVED
 BY LOCAL WOMAN
Drowning Tragedy at Shel- ton Park Averted By
 Actions of Mrs CarOn

Rescuing people from drowning is getting to become a habit with Mrs Viola Caron of 2S0 Easton avenue Sunday afternoon at Shell ton State Park where Mrs Caron was spending the day an 18-year- old-girl, answering to the name of "Tiny" was miraculously saved by the local woman when seized with cramps while swimming in the middle of the pond.
 The girl, realizing her strength was rapidly diminishing, yelled for help and her call was heard by Mrs Caron who was headed in for her initial dip. Without hesitation she plunged into the water and speedily swam to the spot where Tiny" was endeavoring to tread water in an almost vain hope.
 Using Red Cross life saving methods which she has perfected, Mrs Caron grabbed the young girl around the neck with her forearm and successfully swan to shore where the girl was given first aid treatment. Mrs Caron reported the happening to local and Shelton police headquarters.
 On July IS of 1914, Mrs Caron rescued young boy from the same possible fate at a beach in Ware, Mass. Her heroic act was recos- nized by many institutions and she was made recipient of a Carnegie medal, similar award from the Boston Humane Society and a third from St Louis, Mo, humane society. She was also presented with $2,000 from the Carnegie fund.

PROFESSOR SAYS
 ADVICE WRONG
M. I. T. Teacher Admits His Suggestions Years
 Ago Were Untrue

Cambridge, Mass. (UP)-Five years ago, in a speech before a group of college boys, Prof, Robert F. Rogers of Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology advised:
 "Be snob and marry the boss daughter"
 The advice was headliped around the nation, making such an indelible imprint upon the pulp lie mind that even now the pro- lessor asserts he can't venture into the provinces without having the advice thrown up at him.
 Today Professor Rogers has at last concluded that his advice was all wrong, the result, he says, of the depression.
 There probably are no snobs now," he says. "The depression has ruined many a good thing and .snobs are no exception. But just let things settle down little and stabilization set in, and, mark my words. a new crop will appear.
 -"Who said, You can't change human, nature? So with the eter- nal recurrence of history the re- marks of 1929 once again will be as true as any remarks have to Ibe"

GRLSCLUB HEAD ]: PROVES PROPHET
Kathleen Crowley Predict
 Cd Movies Reaction Here N: Five Years Ago

f xvatorbury has a worlds cham ninn prcdicter in its midst, 2 wo- nskn who can predict an event nve ysnrs before 1t takes place. Al issst that's what Detective Connie Siaf1ahan of the police depart mont says and he ought to know, bacause he claims that he heard fEe prediction made. The seer. by s4ks way. is Miss Kathleen Crowley, 3s1venile probation officer at city rtaurt and personable director or fHh Waterbury Girls club.
 Five years ago, almost to the &ky. Miss Crowley was invited to n25dress a meeting. She had been ffere for but short time and chose tho subject of moving pictures; si6ce she had been Q member Of the National Board of Review since 1ea7.
 F.According to Detective shana- han, Miss Crowley said that the movies were even then overrun with suggestiveness and immoral fty, but that no public reaction would be felt for the time being. The principal hope of social im- 11rovement forces, she went on, was a nationwide organization to com hat film objectionableness. Such an orgafiiaztion, she said, would be un. derway within five years and would have the movie producers begging Tor mercy.
 Today, bearing out the predic- ton, there is a nationwide Legion .of Decency, with millions of mem- bers. It has already made its infiu- e1ce felt in Hollywood in the 6brapping of several pictures al- ready in production and the re- nhooting of others.

 First the seamen struck at sea Sunday morning, and the ship was delayed ten hours.

CONNECTICUT co
 WAITING BUSSES
Cheshire Line to Be In. augnrated as Soon as
 Machines Arrive

Officials of the Connecticut Co
 are hopeful that the new busses which will be placed on the East Main street and Cheshire lines, will arrive in Waterbury about August n. Superintendent Charles H. Chapman said to-day the holdup on the operation of the lines is due
 to the non-arrival of the busses. He said the busses are due here within two weeks time and will be put in use immediately. The new line will be operated in ac- cordance with the application granted the Connecticut Co by the
 Public Utilities commission of the
 state.
 Plans are going ahead for the removal of the dangerous under pass at Reidville which will be brought about by the change in the
 roadway along that section.
 Mir Chapman said there are no other immediate changes contem- plated for operation of trolley and bus lines within the city. That would indicate that the trolleys now running on North Main street to Lakewood will remain on that schedule. Formerly they were operated to Waferville by way of North Main street but lack Of pa tronage on the line, due to the | decrease in the working employees
 at the Watervil1e plant of the Chase Companies, Inc, the cars were taken off the line. It was | thought the change would be tenn l porary but 1t appears to be per- manent for the time being.
