ANNUAL Y DANCE
 PLANNED FRIDAY
Informal Affair to Be Fea= tured By PickWick
 Arms Orchestra

Naugatuck, oct 20.-Elaborate decorations will once more. trans form the "Y' gym into a beauti-. full ballroom Friday evening Of next week when the "Y" will con- duct their fall dance. Elmer Schmitz, chairman of the dance committee will also supervise dec oration of the hall and has given out some advance information con- corning the decorations.
 The stall bars and other gym paraphernalia will be hidden from view by white bunting which will be stretched all around the walls and will form a background for hundreds of beautiful fall leaves set off in panels of orange and black. Overhead large circular centerpiece will be suspended with countless orange and black stream CTS twisting from 1t to every corner of the ballroom: In the balcony a large black drop curtain with leaves, streamers, palms. and ferns will form a perfect setting for the orchestra. From all indications 1t will rival in splendor some Of the superb decorating accomplishments he had designed for former "" Valentine dances.
 Ronald Carlson, former local musician, who will be at the piano with the Pickwick Arms orchestra writes to say that he is quite pleas ed to learn that their band has been selected and it will be quite a treat for him to be back in his home town for the. dance. Ronald tells us that some of their recent engagements have been.with Wes- leyan, weylester school, St Steph- ems college, Longshore Beach and Country club, Hotel Bond, Yale, and Ridgewood Country club. They have also broadcast from WTIC in Hartford and WICC in, Bridge port. A poster showing the mem- bers of the orchestra is now on display in the ''Y" lobby.
 Due to the fact that many have inquired at the ."Y" whether or not the dance will be formal MT Schmitz requests it published that the dance will be informal and that 1t will be a couple affair. N
 In preparation for this dance the "" has not followed it's usual cus- tom of mailing tickets to- gentle men who attended previous dances there. Instead tickets have been placed in the hands of ticket committee and can be had from any member of the committee or at the "Y"' office before or on the night of the dance. Members of the ticket committee sare as fol- lows: Elmer. Schmitz. Elmer Car roll, William Chittenden, Idris Alderson, Arthur Lindaw, Philip Clark, Ellsworth Weary, Linton Renfroe, stephen Sweeney, Fritz Klambt, John F. Murphy, Alvin Noble, John McGroary.

was the one substance he must have. He carbonized every mate- rial he could secure which had a small. uniform cross section.
 Finally, after carbonizing bag ging, cardboard, cedar shavings, cork. cotton and paper soaked in tar, fshline, flax, hair, and various other materials he came to the conclusion that thread was the proper material for the filament. A short piece of cotton thread was bent like a hairpin. placed in nickel mold and allowed to remain in a muffle-furnace for five hours. The carbonization was simple enough. The real problem came in withdrawing the thread from the mold and sealing 1t into bulb. All night, the next day and another night. Edison and his assistants continued their efforts with the thread At last, from an entire spool, they succeeded in securing a. carbonized piece that did not break.
 Burned 40 Hours
 The air was exhausted and the bulb sealed, the current turned on. and then came the sight that htey had so long pursued. The date was October 21. 1873. The lamp continued to burn for more than 40 hours.
 a, Other experiments followed which resulted in the substitution of carbonized paper for the cotton thread and the new incandescent light began to take on commer-. cial aspect. The new age of light had begun.
 T Years of experiment have result ed in vast improvements over the original lamp which burned away it's life in forty hours. Tungsten filaments prevail to-day and only in rare instances is the carbon filament lamp found. The tungsten bulbs are far superior in efficiency and in length of life, but it was 8 tiny piece of carbonized cotton thread that paved the way for all types of incandescent lighting.

Edison Completed Epoch Making Invention With Thread Fiament in 1879 After Long Experimenting

October 21, 1884, marks the fifty-fifth anniversary of the inven- ton of the incandescent electric light by the late Thomas Ava Edi- son in his tiny laboratory at Men To Park, IN. J., an accomplishment which was the end of mans search down through the centuries for an adequate artificial light ana the beginning of a new era in hiss tory-the Age of Electricity.
 Five years ago when Edison was still living and when on the. corre- spending date fell the fiftieth anrii- versary of the perfection of the electric lamp, the occasion was dedicated as Lights Golden Jubi- lee and, was celebrated throughout the civilized world. Every nation paid its tribute to the aged inven- tor. at that time. It is probable that no living person ever received greater acclaim Sfor his achieve ments than did Edison on that oc- casiofi in October 1929.
 Edison has since passed on. but the story of his struggles in the Menlo Park laboratory to give civ- ilization a perfect artificial light
 
 will always live.
 1000 Tests Made
 Although lighting by electricity had been accomplished by various inventors who antedate Edison, his was the first lamp of the incandes- cent type which had any commer- cial possibilities. The others were merely laboratory curiosities. The most difficult problem had been in finding filament, and it was to- ward the solution of this problem that Edison bent his tireless ener- gy. During his investigations he made some 1900 different tests or earth, minerals and ores.
 In the spring of 1879, Edison ex- hibited privately at his laboratory lamps with platinum. filaments. but when the current was turned on the result was a dim flash. an ex- plosion and darkness. After trying almost every known refractory substance, Edison always returned to his original theory that carbon
