was week end visitor here.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-13
BY CHARLEs W. KING

Buck Benson, stout and near ing 40, was one of those un- fortunate souls who had been un- able to recover from an overdose of attention received during his college days. Never will the con- ference see another fullback like Buck Benson." one of the sports writers, who had a penchants for superlatives had said. Buck, gull ilble nufnskull, had believed it. Although he had not returned to the alma mater for ten years, he felt sure that his unprecedented performance in the last game still glowed bright in the memories of all who had seen it.
 His wife. Grace, who was pos sessed of an intense desire to de- fate his ego, had made little head way toward that end. The long, planned return for homecoming had been the bogy man of her fu- ture, and now. as they made prepa- rations for the trip, she found life verging on being unbearable.
 After six years of marriage she felt that little ground had been gained toward making Buck forget his college fame, and now she was confronted with the possibility of losing it.
 She could picture bsld-headed ex-classmates, with children tag ging along behind them, batting Buck on the back and announcing to the world at large that here is the greatest fullback that ever wore State uniform. Undoubtedly the professors would join in. Too, she could visualize Buck flourish ing on their praise and prompting them for more.
 Buck was highly enthusiastic and went about his packing with gusto.
 "Pll certainly be glad to see all the old boys, Honey. wish Uncle Billy was still coaching. They'd be playing better ball if he was. Wait till you hear em talking. You'll learn what great fullback your old husband was"
 Buck received no answer.
 Game time was drawing near when they drove inro town and hurried toward the stadium.
 With a self assured stride Buck pushed his way to the pass gate. There he presented his ietter-man card to a student attendant.
 As soon as re received compli-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-13

Soon he and Grace were seated about middle way up in the stadi- um on the forty-five-yard line.
 Making 2 final survey of the crowd before the kickoff, his eyes fell upon a woman who was hav- ing difficulty in keeping two young boys in check.
 See that old gal over there, {" Buck nudged Grace. "She is one of my old sweethearts. She thought was greater fullback than Jim Thorpe"
 The game began and Buck fol-3 lowed intently, shouting advice to players and berating the manner in which the team had been coached.
 At the quarter he made two ef- forts to speak to the woman who was now trying to attract the at- tention of hot-dog vender to sat- isfy he whims of her children. Twice her gaze fell upon Buck, but recognition was not forthcoming. The whistle blew and his inter- est returned to the game. State scored in the closing minutes of the second quarter and Buck felt easier at the half. A fat, red-faced man who was not too well dressed made his way | toward Buck. Pardon me, but aren't you Buck Benson?"
 Yep. that's me" he replied jauntily.
 I'm mighty glad to see you again. What are you doing now ?,s "Oh, I'm dabbling in politics out on the west coast.'' Making lots of dough, CT Buck?"
 well, don't go in for boosting my own stock, but you can rest as- sured that old Buck will never beg for aims. Oh, by the way, what is your name? want to introduce you to the wife,
 "Oh, don't bother, Buck. I didn't expect you to remember me. You used to call me Dutch. just want ed to see if you could pay me that fifteen-dollar laundry bill you left owing me-"

Gaston Forter Pleads Guilty to Operating Under l=
 fluence of Liquor and Evading Responsibility

Naugatuck, July 30.-Phillip Chase, 21, of Millinocket, Maine was sentenced to six months in New Haven jail this morning m borough court on charge of breaking and entering Duffy's beer tavern on Water street. He was also sentenced to 30 days and costs of $13.S6 on a charge of vagrancy.
 Evidence given by Officers George Kogut, Walter Lysiewicz Chief John Adamson and Sergeant John Gormley and Chris Peterson indicated Chase broke into the tavern, took the cash register which was bought only last Jan uary at a price of $400 and badly damaged it in an effort to get the $15 in cash therein.
 Chase said he had been drink ing with "the boys and denied any knowledge of having been in the cellar. He said all he remembered was finding himself in the park ir Waterbury o'clock yesterday af- ternoon after having been drink ing heavily before noon. The rob. bery is alleged to have taken place at noon.
 He said he only had 60 cents on him but Officer Kogut testified he saw Chase boarding the Water bury-bound car yesterday after noon and exhibiting bills and con. siderable com at that time. Of. ficer Lysiewicz said Chasse's shoe corresponded with a footprint ir the cellar of the tavern and MI Peterson said he saw Chase in the cellar.
 Mr Duffy was out of town at the time. Chase is married and hal three children. He admitted being without work much of the time he has been in Naugatuck since July 3. He denied an obvious effort or the part of Prosecuting Attorney Martin Caine to connect him with reports of a mysterious prowlel who has been reported in loca homes recently. He said he did not break or enter any homes or North Main street or on Meadow
 Sergeant Gormley said the mar had slept in box cars and, had been given a nights lodging in the lo' cal jail during the month. Chase said he lost work in a paper mill year and half ago.
 Mcriden Man Sentenced
 Edward Hull, 24, 253 Pratt street Meriden was sentenced to so days in jail on a charge of driving while under the influence of liquor and fined $5 and costs of $15.26 on g charge of operating an unregister- ed motor vehicle.
 He had pleaded guilty to botf charges. He said he lost his work two months ago when the bakery for which he was working, burned to the ground. He pleaded with Judge Claremont Tolles not to de- prive him of his drivers, license as he said it was his only means of livelihood.
 He had been supporting his fa- ther and mother and two brothers until he lost his work, he said.
 Judge Tolles told him he was going to lose his license for a year because of the drunken driving charge. He gave the defendant the alternative of large fine and small jail sentence to work out the fine. Hull said he could not pay a fine so the judge meted out the SO day sentence. Officer Carlson testified Hull was under the in- fluence. He said Hull's sister had recently sold a Hupmobile, given her brother the markers to turn into Hartford. but instead of doing so he put them on Ford car and used them

Naugatuck, July 30 - Active nreparation for the parade of the local firemen at the state conven- ton of firemen in Waterbury on Saturday., August IS is being made at the local firehouse now. A com mittee consisting of Edward Will cox, Thomas Chiswell, John Hack cit, James Murphy, Herbert Cock roft have been named to take charge of the parade plans. Some plans were announced today.
 Work of signing up members of the local department has been started. It is expected that about so members will participate. It is planned to have a color guard composed of several firemen lead the Naugatuck division. Then will follow Chief Engineer Milton Gal win and Foreman Peter J. Foley.
 Next in line comes the Nauga- tuck Military band, which has rep resented the borough in many pa rades. Then will come the repre- sentation of local firemen, many resplendent in the newly-purchased uniforms. These will consist of a blue cap, red shirt, white necktie and gloves, dark blue trousers and black shoes.
 The uniforms have not yet ar rived although ordered, but they are expected around Friday, Aug ust 10. They will be paid for by part of the budget of the fire de- partment for the year.
 Following this delegation will narrto0n iniscent of old time fire-fighting days, which has been polished up and which, it is expected, will pre- sent splendid appearance when decorated.
 It will be manned by two chill dren, probably boy and a girl These will be between the ages of and 10 years.
 Children Sign
 Children of any local firemen are eligiblue for this position of honor. A list for firemen to sign names of children they wish to en- ter has been posted at the fire house and the following names have already been signed Betty Scanlon, Kathryn Hennessey, LOT raine, Philip and Donald Weaving. and Frances Hayward.
 The two children to be in the parade will be chosen from the list of names by drawing two names from hat. This list must be com plesed by August II.
 Following the parade carriage will come the recently purchased Seagrave fire truck. This of course will be polished up so it will be spick and span. The Naugatuck firemen take considerable pride in thesr department and their work and they hope to make one of the best appearances in the parade.
 Naugatuck will get the chance to see how it's firemen look without going to Waterbury although many from here will so to the Brass City. There will be a parade of the Nau- gatuck division through the bor-

 The following persons have signed up to attend the parade thus far, the list only having re. | gently been posted: Ed Wilcox Homer Chiswell, Maurice Scanlon John Hackett, James Murphy Jack Lawlor, Herbert Cockroft James Hennessey, Andrew Holland and Edward Hayward. This list must be completed by August IA. Janitor Dies
 Local residents who knew him | were today mourning the sudden death of Jerome Poznauskas ot | Cherry street, janitor at the Salem school here who died Saturday al the Waterbury hospital. He had been rushed there in an ambulance | Thursday night. It is reported he suffered a rupture.
 He has been q janitor for about 19 years, and had worked at his strenuous duties which entailed | much outside work through severe wintry daysu and hot summer weather. He had worked hard Thursday afternoon and his com panion workers little thought he would be dead within three days. He was of a quiet disposition but was quite pleasant and was liked by all who knew him well. He was a fine worker and his loss will be keenly felt by school authorities.
 He leaves his wife, Minnie, two brothers, Anthony Poznauslias of Aetna street and Peter of Water bury. He was born in Lithuania. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at o'clock at St. Fran cis church.
 Many Interested In Meeting
 The August meeting of the board of education which will be held this week, Thursday, is being awaited with much interest by To- cal teachers. Two teachers win be appointed, one to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss J. Frances Lewis, and the other to fill that caused by the resigna- tion of Mrs. Minnie Mccarthy BaX- ter.
 There will undoubtedly be a meeting as Supt. Chittenden has announced there is considera ble business which is urgent now.
 Many persons are wondering if the discussion of whether high school teachers now receiving less than the minimum salary of $1,200 should be raised to that minimum which was opened at the June meeting of the board, will be re- stunned There was no meeting in July because the superintendent and other members were absent.
 It seems likely that the matter may be kept out of discussion at t is known to be delicate subject unless some member of the board has been approached on it. It is . known fact that Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden was besieged by teachers after the June meeting who thought they might benefit if this was done.

Martin E. Gormley, Henry Free man and Jorn McDonough, favored the proposal at that time. Action was deferred at that meeting and Superintendent of Schools Chitten- den was ordered to draw up a list of what he considers equitable sal aries to submit to the board. The teachers who would be affected are the Misses Martha Johnson and Stella MacDonough and Gardner Wood. They were originally hired at the minimum wage and later their pay was reduced.
 Action on transferring several teachers is expected at the meeting of the board. There will be the re- port of the financial status of the school department for the months of June, and July. Supt. Chittenden will report on the EZRA work be- ing done, and it is expected he will discuss possibility of reopening the EZRA nursery schools here in September.

 They were passengers in a car driven by Walter Senich, 25. of SS Hill street, Waterbury. This au- to hit a pole on Riverside drive opposite the Naugatuck Rubber Regenerating company. The driver admitted he had fallen asleep. The pole was snapped off but the car was not badly smashed up.
 Senich complained of chest in- jury but nothing could be found at the hospital so he was discharged from there.
