LAKE CARNIVAL
 TO OPEN MONDAY
Hitchcock Improve m e ii { Association Plans Gala
 Program Next Week

The Hitchcock Lake Improve ment associations mardi gras and carnival will open at Samuelson's grove, near the lake, Monday night, continuing all week with special attractions each night. Proceeds of the carnival will be used to help purchase badly need ed equipment for the volunteer firemen of the Hitchcock Lake section.
 Featured will be entertainment of a spectacular nature by car nival company which has played the leading cities and resorts of the East and midwest during the past few months. Special features will be offered each night next week, some of the acts being of a highly sensational nature.
 Star performers in the troupe will be a group of "Giving beau- ties", girls whose daring flights through the air bring gasps to spectators. The entire company comes here direct from Narragan- sett Pier, R. l., where it is play ing to capacity crowds all this weeks.
 Need for fire apparatus has been evident for some time to residents of the lake section and it is hoped that enough money will be realized to purchase two new pieces of equipment.
 Lieutenant Governor Roy Wilcox will speak at the carnival on Fri day night of next week. Mayor Frank Hayes of this city is also lending his support to the venture.
 Of particular interest is the fact that the last two days of the car- nival and niardi gras will be held while firemen from all over the state are gathered at Waterbury for their annual convention. Fire departments from many cities have promised the carnival committee that they will be on hand at the lake on one or both nights of the convention.
 Excellent work has been done thus far by committee consist ing of Edward Moriarty, Edward Pracny, Charles Gibson and Judge Harold Logan. Allie Affeldt is publicity director.

FL|VVER PLANE.
To AID FLYING !

Asserting that constructive re-
forms will emerge from the Con-
gressional investigation of avia-
ton matters, Eugene L. Vidal,
director of aeronautics in the De-
partment of Commerce, last night
declared in an address before the
Women's National Aeronautical
Association that the next twelve
months will see great strides in
conquering the air.
Vidal stated that the newly
formed national policy committee
on aeronautics sponsored by Sec
retary of Commerce Roper has
some very encouraging plans for
the future of aviation, and pre-
dicted that cheap flivver plane
would popularize flying within the
next year.
Vidal also praised the flying
ability of Mrs. Frances MarsaliS
and Miss Helen Richey, joint
holders of the women's endurance
flight record, who were guests Of
honor at the banquet which fea-
tured the meeting.
