The exact date for the affair has not yet been set but it will take place probably the latter part of next week, it is expected now.
 A committee consisting of Helen Soko koloski, chairman, Helen Jones, Evelyn Morine, Andrew Nolan, Jo- seph Burke and Joseph Sokoloski, has been named to have charge of arrangements for the affair. The date of the roast and the place 1t will be held at will be decided upon at the next meeting of the committee. This will take place either over the weekend or next Monday night.
 Of course the main purpose Of the roast will be for gopd time for the members. But at The same time 1t is expected to serve another and beneficial purpose. It will give the members chance to get together prior to the opening or fall activities.
 ITCSlOGIl LS4IiidSl Sd'u iAS N-N poets plans for the fall will be discussed at this gathering. It is probable there will be discus sion of several plays the club members may offer later.
 The club was recently organized but is composed of eager members who are interested in making it quite a success A play was pre- sented by the society last winter. Indications are that quite an active fall and winter season will be en- joyed by the Dramatic club.
 Practical Fire Instruction
 New members of the fire depart ment were given practical instruc- ton in many Of the details of fire fighting and older members were given the chance to brush up on their ability in this line recently. Tuesday night an intensive fire drill was conducted by the com pany, under the supervision of Foreman Peter J. Foley and Chief Milton Calvin.
 A good many new members have joined the volunteers in the last year, and the chief foreman thought it would be a good idea for them to get some practical experience that later will prove of benefit to home owners in the town.
 About 55 members turned out, one of the largest turnouts of vol unteers lately. The new truck and the chemical truck were used and the squad car was also in use. The firemen were rushed to the various schools in the borough and given instruction there.
 One truck was sent one road, on the way to Prospect street school, while another went an- other road, both being timed and actual speed in reaching the scene of the fire, of erecting ladders and of mounting them was taken.
 The new fire fighters were told the best way of erecting the lad der, shown just how to carry the hose and how to squirt water from hose on a ladder. They put their instruction into actual use and older firemen then pointed out their mistakes and endeavored to correct them.
 After the various schools had been visited in this fashion, the firemen went up to the new North NAQA Sh oll GU oCNClOpIlCIII diN tested the water pressure in that section. later they tested the pressure at various points on the west side of the town.
 This gave the fire officials definite idea of just how much pressure they can expect to get in case of real fire at these points.
 It is the first time in several years that so large a body of men executed fje drill in town in this manner. All the volunteers jointed whole e-heartedly. in the work and there is no doubt many of them profited by this form of actual instruction. It is probable another similar drill will be held in the not far distant future.
 More Caucuscs Planned
 The democratic town committee will meet at later date to set date for the caucuses at which, delegates for the convention to nominate candidates for state rep resentative from Naugatuck will be tee chairman, to-day said.
 Delegates for the senatorial, pro- bate and congressional conventions will be chosen at the caucuses on next Tuesday but separate caucuses in connection with naming dele gates to choose candidates for rep resentatives will not take place then.
 The committee will name a date for the caucuses in this respect, seven delegates from each caucus will be sent to the town convention and at this convention. the choices for representatives will be named. Candidates for justice. of the peace will be selected at the same time.
 Chairman Green today explained the major reason for not holding the caucuses and convention to name representative at the same time as. theh other caucuses and conventions. He said 1t is not un- usual but is a party rule.
 It Is considered ethical, he de- clared to wait until the state ticket nominates a candidate for gover- nor and then nominations for the lesser office of representative will be in order.
 He denied report that it was political maneuver on the part of certain followers of his, It had been claimed that he was hoping to lessen the strength of Judge of Probate D. Emmet Shea, whom he IS opposing for nomination, by hav- Ing the separate caucuses.
 Chairman Green laughed at this report. As the time for the eau ---------------------------
