As a matter of fact, noth- ing is more beautiful than the old-fashioned waltz. To mas- ter it's rhythm is to become infinitely more graceful and to get into the spirit of danc- ing which, after all, is impor- tant. The best dancers are the ones who love to dance. Never forget that.
 For those who have learned the fundamental waltz step, there is a fun-to-do variation that I am teaching my pupils right now. Appropriately called the ''Debutante Waltz," because it is youthful and rather whimsical, this dance is easy to learn.
 The feature of the Debu- tante Waltz is the swaying of the body in the direction in which you point your foot on the hesitation step.
 Start by stepping directly sideward to the left, balanc- ing the weight on the left foot for three counts, meanwhile pointing the right foot as shown in the photograph. Then reverse, stepping to the side with the right foot for three counts, pointing the left one. Now follow the dia-. gram.
 Remember that you take a left waltz turn of three steps, and on the fourth count you step back on the right foot. holding your weight on it for three full beats. Point the left foot as you do it and let vour head sway toward the

Gem Theater Lease
 And Rental Fee To
 Be Aired Tomorrow
Public Welfare Committee to Render Decisions a Naugatuck Meeting Tomorrow - MethOdists to
 Give Dramatic Musical Pageant Sunday Night
NAUGATUCK
Wm J Baxter Correspondent-Phone Naugatuck 6z2-2

A committee appointed last night at the December meeting Of the board of public welfare will meet tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O in the office of Frank w. Eaton in the Weary building and discuss the lease of the Gem theater and what rent should be charged and what conditions should be imposed on the person who leases it.
 This committee, consisting of Richard Durkin and MT Eaton, will confer with the warden at that time. The body was appoint ed at the suggestion of MT Eaton after the board had approved a motion to that effect. Warden John Sheridan appointed the com mittee.
 In a statement suggesting the naming of such a committee, MT Eaton indicated that under the present state of affairs, the town is practically carrying the over head charge for the person run ming it. He meant by this that it was losing the taxes that would be derived if a building were To- cated for such a purpose, and it is taking on other incidental ex- pense. in his opinion.
 II am not filing any brief either for MT Pasho (who now rents the theater) or for MT Rabbot," Down. CT of the AlcaZar theater which is in competition with the Gem). "Mr Pasho has made consider able investment in the property. Mir. Rabbot or relatives here own d large piece of real estate in town listed at a value of $24,000. on which they are paying or sup posed to be paying taxes, he said.
 T hardly believe the town should rent this hall to anybody in compe- ton with anybody from whom the town expects taxes" he said The affair should be talked over thoroughly before any decision is arrived at, he said. This should have been done three years ago but there was nos opportunity then, he declared.

lowing September, MT Hackett told the audience. The state and federal government begin their fiscal years on July 1.
 A proposal for. town such as Naugatuck to issue bonds for at least $10,00O fully guaranteed by the state to insure sale to provide money to allow 1t to change the fiscal year. date to July was made by the commission.
 Each year, the speaker said, the town could add to its appropria- tion one-tenth of the sum of the bonds and at the end of ten, years the issue would be repaid. He con- siders the idea a splendid one.
 The commission also recommend ed standardized budgeting systems and accounting systems through out the state, and also a uniform reporting system of finances so that persons in towns can com pare the financial reports with those of surrounding towns and see how other towns are making out.

system, none or little should be spent by the state for construc- tion of new roads.
 He pointed out this allocation system is used in New York state. Some years a department would have more or less as its needs varied, he said.
 One of the hardest taxes to col lect is the auto tax, he said. The commission has recommended this be paid at the same time a driver takes out his registration. This would save much time and effort, it: believes. The state is IA million dollars in debt now, he said. and certainly something must be done to correct this situation, he said, in discussing the general findings of the group.

For AlIocation Idea

He expressed himself in favor of a plan under which all funds from state taxes would be put into one general fund and the lot allocated to the respective departments ac- cording to their needs in that par ticular year.
 He said it doesn't seem right that some persons should be nearly starving in the state while money is spent on new highways which, although useful, are not absolutely ly necessary. He believes that al- though money should be spent in this state for the next few years for maintenance of the present road

Abolish Relief Boards

The committee also has suggest ed that boards of relief in the vari- ous towns be abolished. Commis- sioner Hackett said he realized this would not meet with favor of members of the board of relief.
 However in Massachusetts there is no town board of relief. Instea there is state tax appeal board. Persons in towns appeal to thu state board, referee is appointed, the matter investigated and ad- justed if need be.
 The commissioner declared he was surprised to find that Connec- ticut is second lowest as far as tax delinquents goes. It is second only to ssachusetts which has the best record of the entire country in this connection.
 About so per cent of the taxpay- CTS in Connecticut pay their taxes. Of the remaining 20 per cent five per cent are unable to pay, he as- serted, but there is 15 per cent, able to pay. which won't, he said. Those persons doing their best tc pay should be encouraged but the smart alecks" trying to evade the tax should be caught, he said.
