Awaits Results of Talk

The results of Miss Helen Harts 2 talk here Monday night before the welfare board are being watched with keen interest by many cit'" gems. There is little doubt among observers that Miss Hart was brought here. partly to clear up misunderstanding concerning vari.- ous phases of the EZRA here, and partly also to prevent possible ad- verse action on the part of mem bers of the board in connection with the appointment of'Miss Mar garet Bull as welfare board investi. gator.
 When hoard members and the democratic administration first learned the town had to pay for Miss Bulls services. even though she worked mostly under the EZRA. there was much criticism and even talk of action to lower Ter salary.
 Miss Hart in her talk seemed to stress the fact that neither Nauga- tuck or the EZRA department in Hartford had any say in the mat ter.
 The government has put as a standard that there should be a social investigator paid by the town in towns receiving EZRA aid and

 IN a u g atu,c k, July II. = The Howard Whittenore Memorial Library will receive certain books from the estate of Nelson Stanley Spencer of New York city, former Naugatuck resident, who died re- gently, it was learned today. The will has been filed in New York city. The estate was valued at more than $10,000."
 The will states specific books are left to the library here but does not say just what books they are. MT Spencer was the owner of many rare books and there is no doubt that whatever the books are they will be valuable addition to the local library's collection.
 Four years ago at the opening of the Naugatuck children's divi- sion of the library, set of the works of Rudyard Kipling, donat- ed by MT Spencer, was on exhibi- tion. MT Spencer was personal friend of the famous English au. thor and poet and had one of the few copies of Kipling's childhood lyrics, which he gave to the local institution.
 MT Spencer was first cousin of

Open Meetings Urged

Miss Hart suggested that open metings concerning proposed activ- ities fthe EZRA and steps made locally be held at which officials of the EZRA would tell local res- idents what was going on. She im- piled there was no need for secrecy and urged openness in dealings.
 Although EZRA officials and welfare department officials declare they are trying to conceal any thing, there has been criticism of them in the past on alleged at- tempts to keep things under cover until they want to announce, 1t.
 The fact that the town was pay ing Miss Bull was one thing many persons did not know before 1t was announced after she had worked more than a month here, the fact that Christian Groh resigned as welfare department investigator was not made known, even to the warden, until 15 days after his res- ignation, the fact that expenditures on the Johnson street project were going way over expectations wah apparently concealed for a time.
 It Is hoped tby citizens that one result of this talk by Miss Hart will be an effort to do away with such secrecy. They feel 1t only breeds distrust of matters where there Is probably no intention to conceal anything.

Naugatuck, July Ii - Police protection at the grounds of the Naugatuck Fish and Game Asso. citation near Cherry Farm VIII probably be asked tonight at the July meeting of the society, it was learned today.
 Members of the club have been busy cleaning up the club home and grounds recently and they nave noticed that often group Of local residents, who are not members UT the club, have come there to swim and have filtered up the grounds. They feel that this should be stop ped. as the grounds are rented from the water company and are for use of members only.
 It Is felt by members that if this continues their efforts to make the grounds attractive and clean would go for naught. Recently pcnic tables have been set up there so that members who enjoy some thing to eat can bring their food along and eat 1t on these tables. Much rubbish, which accumulated near the grounds has been re- moved.
 Members feel that if these per- sons now LrespasslnS oH enS grounds wish to use 1t they should Join the club and get the privileges which membership brings. It IS possible they may decide on mere- iy warning the trespassers at the meeting tonight, but if necessary, they will call on the police to see the trespassers are arrested.
 A report on the progress Of the membership drive is expected to be made tonight. A report on trap shooting arrangements and hunt ing plans will also be made.
 A number of local fishermen have been trying ths'r luck for bass recently. the ssason on bass having opened on July 1. Some are having fine luck and good sport, one of these being Town Clerk Schiller, Jr, who recently got a fine mess of fish.

Lively Board

Lively Board
 The new welfare borad is by no means as tractable as the previous one. At that board meeting there was little questioning of actions nor any lengthy dispute, but thus far Members Richard Durkin, demo- crat, and William Mariana, repub- lican, seem to be the storm centers They are by no means satisfied with certain standardized proceed ures and do not hesitate to say so.
 MT. Durkin at the June meeting kicked on the matter of the town paying Miss Bull and Monday night he asked why so many investiga- tors were needed here. MT. Mari- ano complained about the pur- chase of milk in the borough al Mondays meting, limiting favorit- ism was being shown.N
 Members Richard Parkinson and Louis DeCarlo, who are veterans are showing more liveliness and inclination to question things. All in al lit looks as though Supt. Cox is in for busy time trying to ad- just the various complaints.
 It seems probable now that some of the secrecy which has prevailed in the past in the EZRA and well fare departments may be done away with.

it is a case of pay the investigator or lose your eligibility. Warden Sheridan told Miss Hart her talk had proved most informative and interesting so many feel that he will not make any effort to secure a reduction of pay of the workers calary in connection with this.
 Miss Bull surprised members of the board by informing them a spe- cial helper had been assigned to her temporarily by the state EZRA and paid by the state, because of the fact that she was so rushed with work 1t delayed her investi- gations.

CUBS COMEBACK
THREAT TO GIANTS
Beat Both Deans to Gain.
Tigers Cop 18th in Row.
46;766 See Yanks Split.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
BRILLIANT recovery by the
n Chicago Cubs has revived in
N terest in the National League
4 4 race and left the Cubs with a
good chance to stage another
comeback in the coming home stand
against the East.
Five games behind the league-lead-
ing Giants after losing the first two
games of a series to St. Louis. the
Cubs regained full game yesterday
by beating the Cardinals 7 to 2 and
to in double-header while New
York's game against Boston was
halted by rain. In addition, the Cubs
performed in one day a feat which
only two other clubs have accomplish
ed all season. They beat both of the
Dean brothers.
Paul Dean, the younger, was the
opening game victim as Billy and
Babe Herman nicked him for
homer apiece in the fifth, and he
failed to survive the next frame.
Babe Herman got another circuit
blow off jess Haines in the ninth.
Brother Dizzy waged close battle
against Pat Malone for seven innings
of the afterpiece, but was blasted out
in the eighth when Chicago put to-
gether a triple, two doubles and
single for four runs. 1t was his fifth
defeat against 81 victories. Jim Col
lins salvaged his twenty-siXth homer
from the defeat.
Only the Pirates and Phillies hold
decisions over both Deans in addi-
tion TO Chicago, which has beaten the
brothers in five of the IL games they
have lost.
The Pirates defeated the Reds, 9-6,
in the only other National League
game yesterday.

Tigers Do 1t Again.

N ETROIT'S Tigers, who have won
so many games by late rallies
that it has developed into a
habit, did the trick again in the tenth
inning to prolong their winning streak
to II games and increase their Amer
ican League lead over the Yankees
to 412 games. The Cleveland Indians
were the victims and the final score
was to S.
The Yankees helped attract record
crowd at Boston, but failed to get
more than an even break with the
Red Sox. While 46,766 fans looked
on and about 10000 more regretted
their failure to arrive early enough
to get into the park. Boston won the
first game, GA, as Yves Ferrell pitched
his tenth victory and started the de-
Gliding rally with a double in the
eighth. New York came back to take
the second game, IL, behind the
seven-hit flinging of beSpectacled
Johnny Broaca.
+ The big turnout was inspired large
ly by Babe Ruth, who, according to
his own announcement, was making
his last appearance as a regular in
the city where his big league career
began.
George Earnshaw, working for the
!. first $500 bonus he is to get for each
victory over 10, pitched the White
Sox into an even break with st. Louis
in a double bill. After the Browns
won the opener, 4-2, when Ray Pep
per's eighth inning triple overcame
the effects of Al Simmons homer, the
SOD came back to give Earnshaw bril-
liant support and win the afterpiece,

big league stars, and they feature the
pro game at foot ball.
But, so far, their careers in the ring
have been full of punctures, with the
monotonous intoning of 10 above their
PROSTATE forms and battered features.
"A collegian," says Dumb Dan
Morgan, doesn't want to have his
features scrambled up-he doesn't
want caulifower ears, so he gets to be
too cautious"
They may not get caulif1ower ears
in pro wrestling, but there is at least
the strong suggestion of cabbage
around the old ear dome in many
cases.
Anyway, Hamas and Lasky are 60
ing to meet in New York late in Sep
tember, the dizziest sporting month
the calendar has ever shown"
So far that month has only the
tennis championship, the golf cham
pionship, the East-West polo matches,
the international yacht races, the
Ross -McLarnin party, the Hamas-
Lasky matter, the finish of the PEN
nant races and the start of the foot
ball season. Not to overlook few
horse races.
