The first social event of the sea- son sponsored by the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women will be a card party to be held Wednesday evening. October 3, at the Water bury Catholic high school auditor ium. The entire proceeds will go to the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service, prominent Catholic charit- able organization of this city. The local council of Catholic Women, and the bureau, which is affiliated with the state Diocesan Bureau, are sanctioned and en. dorsed by his grace, Most Rev

 After careful consideration the executive committee of the council decided not to reduce the price of admission for the card party, which reduction the condition of times and the admission price to similar undertakings by other or ganizations seemed to demand. As time goes on the calls for relief made upon the bureau have in- creased, and it has been felt by those directing the running of same that if the high standards of service for which they have re- ceived much unsolicited praise and approval are to be continued the source of financial assistance must in no way be curtailed but rather increased. In order to continue their work in the feeding and clothing the children of the poor the Diocesan Bureau needs the as- sistance of all Catholics interest ed in Catholic Action even if the assistance. demands personal sac- rifice. It is the hope of the com mittee that the public will be ready to rally to the support of the council in it's effort to help the poor of the Diocesan Bureau.
 Miss Kathryn Hayes. chairman of the council, will act as general chairman in the card party ar- rangements. She will be assisted by the following parish chairladies: Immaculate Conception, Miss Ag- nes Fitzpatrick: Sacred Heart, Miss Marion Cass; St. Margaret's. Mrs. Harry Parsons: St. Francis xav- fer. Mrs. Albert Centerbar; Bles- sed Sacrament. Mrs. John MeDon- aid: St. ,. Thomas. Miss Helen Hayes; Sts. Peter and Paul. Mrs. Katherine Zibell: St. Cecilia's.

at his brothers house, 29l South Leonard street, he was apprehended. The emergency brake on Desmone's car was of no value in stopping the ye- hicle and the condition of the foot brake was only fair. There is street light about 100 feet southerly from where this accident happened and with his headlights lit Des- none had ample opportunity both to see Rosatellf and avoil hitting him.
 When Desmone stopped his car in front of 291 South Leonard street he stated he had no Knowledge of striking anyone or no memory of any collision and has persisted at all times in this statement.
 About a half hour after this accident Desmone was exam ined as to his sobriety by Dr. Harold F. Morrill,, Waterbury. His breath smelled strongly of some alcoholic beverage and Desmone stated he had two glasses of wine at his father ; in-law's house on Beacon street where he was prior to this accident. The examination as far as Desmone's physical condition was concerned, with the exception of the fact that his breath smelled strongly of liquor. would not show that he was intoxicated to a degree in- mpatible with the safe driv- ing of 8 motor vehicle. How ever. if the evidence of Des- none can be accepted that he heard or saw nothing to indi- cate that his car struck any thing on South Leonard street on that night. then in the ab- sence of any explanation from him, 1 can only conclude that he was under the influence of intoxicating liquor at the time of the accident. that his mem- ory for immediate events was a complete blank and that he was in no fit condition to op- crate a motor vehicle on the public highway.
 I find that the death of the said Anthony Rosatelli was due to internal injuries. a com pound fracture of the right leg. which was almost ampu- tated, and a probable frac- ture of the skull, sustained in the manner above set forth. and that said injuries and death were due to the crimin- al negligence of the said Err nest Desmone."

Gilmartin Issues
 His Annual Book
Everyday Errors in Pronunciation Accepted For
 Publication Best Work, Author Believes

No year would be complete without q new book by that well known author, John G. Gilmartin, principal of Duggan and Begnal schools. His new contribution to the field of letters, Everyday Err TOTS in Pronunciation" work based solely on pronunciation, has been accepted by the Walter c. Black company. the largest mail order publishing house in the coun- try.
 The finished product is expected to be on the market by the mid dle of October. It will be adapted to professional and business people as we'll as to high schools and colleges.
 In commenting upon his latest work, the author said he consid- cred it his best contribution to the educational world. He also related the obstacles that beset his plans, the overcoming of which will, in his estimation, be a stimulus to the popularity of the book.
 Revision, Causes Delay
 The work was to be completed in September. Material had been carefully planned and edited, in fact it was about to be sent to the printer. However, during the early part of August, Mir Gilmartin re- ceived a copy of the new revision of the Webster International dic- tionar1 It was the first time the dictionary had undergone revision in 25 years. As soon as he began to examine the new dictionary he saw at once that many pronuncia- tions which were formerly abso- lutely. wrong were now correct. The author at once telephoned to his publisher, explained the situa- tion and asked that the manuscript be returned so that it could be made to conform with the new re- vision.
