 Life Membership

Life membership in the Commo- dore John Barry Naval and Marine club was unanimously voted last night to Rev Edward J. Brennan, pastor of St Margaret's church for 24 years who was transferred to New London a few weeks ago. The following resolution was adopted by the group:
 "The Commodore John Barry Navy and Marine Club regrets the transfer of one of it's shipmates, Rev Father E. J. Brennan, from St Margaret's church of this city to St Mary's Star of the Sea church in ew London. His shipmates of the John Barry club extend their best wishes that he may meet with suc- cess in the parish to which he has been assigned. Father Brennan served in the United States navy as a lieutenant commander in the chaplain corps until his resignation to accept other duties, ashore. The esteem in which he is held among his shipmates has prompted them to confer on him life member ship in this club.

Political Gossip

said to be headed by State Central Committeeman Michael w. Bannan while the demo- cratic town committee, head ed by Vice-Chairman George J. Coyle, is directing the other sides activities. Leaders on both sides claim that it is an the told guard" and thew but just a private battle in New Britain, itself.
 Right up in Winsted there is a test fight coming between the told guard 'and thew guard" factions. A contest, predicted to be the bitterest ever conducted by the demo- cratic party in Winsted, is scheduled for next Tuesday evening. Each group will try to elect delegates to the state, senatorial, congressional, cOun- ty, probate and town conven- tions. R. l.. Carmody is spokesman for the thew guard" element while State Central Committeeman Will liam J. Brennan heads the "old guard" faction. The latter group has endorsed Major J. Joseph Smith of this city for the congressional nomination in the fifth district.
 Roger B. Ladd, member of the Hartford board of educa- tion, has announced that he will not seek the g. O. p. sen- atorial nomination in the sec- ond senatorial district. This leaves the field open, so far. to Mir Mortenson, mentioned heretofore.
 T. A. D. Jones, former Yale football coach, will run for congress in the third district of Connecticut, now represent ed by Congressman Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, a demo- crat. Mir Jones is a republi- can. Two years ago he op- posed Congressman Maloney but was defeated. At the time, however, despite the natiOn- wide democratic landslide for President Roosevelt, MT Jones lost out by comparatively slim majority. The New Ha- ven man is a close friend of Congressman F. w. Goss of this city. Ex-Mayor James A. Fully of New Haven and Major Edward s. White of Waterbury, now of the Elm City, are also being mentioned for the nom- ination. MT White was a Boy Scout commissioner in Water- bury and also first commander of Corporal COyle post here.
 The Roosevelt Democratic club has decided to cross swords with the Hamden Democratic association in the selection of convention dele- gates from that town. Both sides have decided to enter slates of delegates and fight the matter out before the reg istered democrats of the conn munity.

Parades Of 1870 To
 Be Revived Locally
Firemen's Aged Regala to Bring Back Memories of
 Years Ago in Procession Here Next Week

Next Saturday will be a gala day for Waterbury.
 That is the day. you know, set for the old fashioned fire parade to be conducted under the manage ment of Chief Heitman of the Wat erbury Fire Department and an able corps of assistants.
 q Waterbury has not had fire parade of any importance since Sept. IS, 1910. at which time the last convention of the Connecticut State Firemen's association was held here, in Buckingham Hall Then, only the Waterbury fire de- partment members and their ap- paratus turned out, along with the greater members of the police force. The affair was held to do honor to the visiting delegates, all of whom sat in a specially built grand stand on West Main street just west of the old city hall.
 But this year, Waterbury is going back to its old time parade of 50 and 60 years ago. The people will have a chance to see the "boys in blue," just as they observe the Wat erbury firemen daily, but in ad- dition, the line will produce red shirted tiremen from many of the towns of the state who still adhere to the old regalia. Furthermore, old time parade carriages, built especially for parade purposes will be seen. So far as known, however the old style leather helmet that all firemen had to wear years ago will not be seen. For the purpose of bringing back old memories, the department or committee will pro- duce one of it's Fire Commissioners in a red shirt, historic old trump ct carried by a chief of so years ago. The Office of the Fire Marshal will be represented by a member appearing in the red shirt, inscrib- ed, Brass City No. 6, Out East, :, just to bring back to people the name of the ancient and gallant volunteer organization, represen- tative of that organization years ago.
 There has never been a fire parade before in which the depart ment chief rode on horseback, but this year, the people will have chance to see Chief Heitman ride a good looking horse, daily prac- tice with him in his young days Of life. No person knows a horse bet ter than the chief.
 And right at the side of the Chief will ride the Mayor of the city, Frank Hayes, with a flaming red shirt, in keeping with the par ade and what it represents. The five aides to the Mayor will also be mounted, and they also will wear the regulation red flannel shirt. regardless of the weather.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-11

I Chief Heitman will wear his regu. lar blue uniform.
 Right here from Waterbury, too will be q line of 40 boys from the eastern part of the city, who will drag a hose reel, made by the wellknown and highly respected Chas. Miller of the East end a great many years ago. Some of the living members of the old Monitors hose Company will also wear red shirts, and straight peaked caps.
 A grand stand is to be erected in front of vity hall, some of which will be reserved for the many visit ing officials from out of the. city and the officers and members ot the state association. The rest oi the stand, if possible, will be open to the public. It must be borne in mind however, that the fire dept owes duty to the visiting dele gates and must provide them with proper seating arrangements. This obligation goes with the holding Ot the state convention in all places Following the parade, there will be a hose laying contest at the junction of Grand and Church streets. The following companies will take part, to Wit:
 UniOnyillc, Tunxis Hose Co.,, No.
 East Hartford, Hose Co.,, No. 2.

 The judges will be Commissioner Simon Kramer, Hartford, Captain Everett Mason, Hamden, Assit. Chief A. S. Darlington, Old Say brook; Chief Don, McPherson, Winsted.
 The judges for the parade prizes will be,
 The Hon. Chas. A. Templeton, Judge John F. McGrath. The Hon. William E. Thoms. The Hon. Wm. H. Sandland, Deputy Chief Wm. H. Daley, Hartford.
 Tn the old days" declared a fire veteran today, nearly every household sent a cake or salad for the visiting firemen, but times are different today, and we cannot and do not expect such under present conditions. However if any family wishes to follow the old custom they may do so, but they should send no plates or tins for return. These articles of food may be sent to Fire Headquarters, either Fri day or Sat. morning of next week :"

OPTOMETRISTS AT
 COURT HEARING
Local Men Interested in Appeal Forbidding Ad=
 vertising Prices

Several local optometrists were in Hartford today attending a hearing before Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in the superior court on an appeal from the ruling of the state board of examiners of optom- etry forbidding the advertising of prices for optical goods. A decision on the appeal was expected to be reported here some time this aft ernoon.
 Dr George Cronan, chairman of the legislative committee of the state organization of optometrists. headed the local group attending the hearing before Judge Dicken- son. Accompanying him from Wat erbury were Dr Leon Totten. Dr Glenn Sweet and Dr Stanley Crater.
 At the 1893 session of the Legis- lature the board of optomctry was given added powers in the regulat- ing of the activities of optometrists m Connecticut. Among the new rules lad down was one forbidding the optometrists from advertising their prices.
 A Hartford optometrist appealed from the ruling and today is seek ing an injunction restraining the board from enforcing it's regula- tion. The rule is similar to the one imposed on dentists, which also forbids them from advertising their rates.

Scovill Net Profit
 Last Year, $305,688
Annual Report Issued Yesterday Shows Big Increase
 Over l932 Proit-$654, ,275 Paid in Dividends

137,303 for 1882. The income for 1888 after deductions for state and federal taxes but before deduction for depreciation and inventory re- serve, was $2,921,602, while that of 1892 was $523,258. The amount deducted from the income for de- preciation during the year was $1,132,938 as compared with $940.- 274 for the previous year.
 The value of the land, buildings. machinery and equipment of the company is set at $39.903.647, less $22,514,958 for depreciation, leav- ing a net value of $17,388,689. This is considered a very conserva, tive figure, but a perusal of the entire report shows the figures on everything to be conservative. For instance, the value of the com pany's patents is set at $1. As for the land and equipment values. the city alone assesses the Scovill prop erty for $10,000,000, about, and this figure does not include the company's factories in Watertown. Brooklyn, N. r., Toronto, Sturgis, Mich, Racine, Wis, and Birming- ham, Eng.
 Another indication of conserv- ativeness is shown in the report in the deduction from the companys income of $577,058 as a special in- ventory reserve for the purpose or writing down the value of copper on hand to five cents pound. high grade zinc to four cents and other zines to 3.42 cents. This covers not only the metal on hand in a raw state, but also the metal contained in alloys in mill prod ucts and wholly or partly manu- factured goods in the company's various plants. Copper is now selling at cents a pound and zinc is up to A cents.
 The total assets of the Scovill company are $40.3S2,0S5. The cur rent assets are set at $13,154.S72 and the current liabilities at $691,. 414, which represents a ratio of IA to 1. During 1888 the sum o: $57,701 was contributed to unem. ployment relief.

 Award-Accident Occurred Nov I9, I932

Attorney Herbert J. Wilcox was awarded damages of $11 ,125 in his civil action against Frank T. Pear sons in a judgment handed down in superior court today by Judge Arthur F. Els. The hearing was held this morning during which the plaintiff and his witnesses presented his case. The defendant was not represented in court.
 The suit was based on perman- eht injuries the plaintiff received when he was struck by the de- fendant's car on West Main street Nov. 19, 1892. The plaintiff testi- fled he was walking westerly along the sidewalk when the defendants car drove up on to the sidewalk striking him and knocking him to the ground. The mishap occurred at a point near the railroad bridge on West Main street.
 Attorney Wilcox suffered a frat ured skull, compound fracture of the right knee joint, and fracture of the bones below the knee joint. He had two teeth knocked out and several loosened. The tendons in his right foot were strained, he said, and injuries to his back, face and jaw were listed.
 Attorney Finton J. Phelan ap- peared for MT Wilcox. MT Pear sons did not attend the hearings.
