CROCODILE CLUB
 MEETS TOMORROW
Mayor Frank Hayes to Speak at Annual Gather.
 ing at Lake Compounce

The newly revived Crocodile club will hold It's annual meeting and sheep barbecue, with l. Ed ward Pierce, president, and Pierce L. Norton, secretary, and other descendants and heirs of the orl- glnal founders, in charge of the annual spree at Lake Compounce in Bristol tomorrow.
 Dating back to 1875 the list of the members of the Crocodile club would look like a census report of the states distinguished citisens. Present Leiut. Gov. T. Frank Hayes of Waterbury is one of the early members, as are Marcus Hol- comb of Southington, Judge A. c. Bill of Hartford, Roy Tucker of Bristol, Burwell carter of Plainvillo who was first president and con. tinued so until his death 25 years later; Edward Newell of Bristol, secretary for 30 years; Samuel Bloss of Bethany, who was treas- urer for 35 years; Herbert J. Far. mum of New Haven, Capt. Julian Savage of Southington and Art Welton of Plymouth, George A. Beers, John Orr, and Sam Driver of Bridgeport.
 The club was founded as the out come of a petition by Cad Norton of Southington, that his place on the shore of Lake Compounce which adjoined tht of Ike Pierce from whom he bought it, be "set off' from outhington to Bristol. In oppositlno to an unfavorab ble committee report, Q number of Norton's friends who were mem- bers of the legislature took up the mutAe- and succeeded in bringing about a favorable decision.
 Mir. Norton invited all of the men who had been instrumental in bringing about the action to his property for a grand sheep roast, and the idea of club with year. y sheep barbecue was matched up then. The reason for valling the club the Crocodile club has never been learned, and many doubt whether 1t had any significance, except being a name.
 The club lasted years with an outing at the lake every year. Both Pierce and Norton have been dead for many years, but the Crocodile club, which after 49 years was al. -eged to died down when prohibi- tion came in has been revived by the descendants of the founders and exensive plans are being laid for this years celebration.

Legion To Organize
 Safety Patrol Here
Board of Commissioners of Public Safety to Be Peti " toned for Permission By Casper Davis Post
NATERVILLE

At last nights monthly meeting of the Casper s. Davis, Jr., Post, No. 136, AmericaH Legion, at the rooms of the Post on lower Boy den street, action was taken to use the cooperation of the post in regulating the traffic hazards on Thomaston avenue. It was voted to petition the board of commis- sioners of public safety for per- mission to organize a local safety patrol to be composed of mem- bers of the Davis post to assist the regular police officers in the enforcement of traffic regulations on the local thoroughfare which has developed into speedway since the bMilding of the new state highway.
 The patrol would assist the regu- lar authorities by being deputized to enforce the regulations con- cerning the observance of reason- able driving speed and of coming to full stop at the street inter- sections. Motorists falling to comply with these regulations to be summoned to court or report ed to the motor vehicle and state state police departments.
 Several accidents during the past few days including another fatality, the third since the road was opened, have focused atten- ton on the necessity of some acc ton to control the situation. The police protection assigned to Wa terville is obviously inadequate to handle the situation since one man cannot cover all of the area at one time. The safety patrol of the Legion should, if approved be or a great deal of assistance.
 John Byrnes, George Goggins and Fred Poudin were named as a nominating committee to bring in a slate of officers for the com ing year. Their report will be made at the September meeting and the election of officers will take place at the October meeting. The latter, by special vote taken last night, will take place on Sat- urday, October 26th. instead of oc- tober 22nd, the regular meeting night. The change will enable several members of the post, who are employed nights and conse- quently unable to attend the regu- lar meetings, to be present.
 The post voted to participate in the exercises to be held at Set tiers Village in connection with the Veterans Day program on September 22nd.
 The Post is grateful to the resi- dents of Fairmount for their gem erous response to the Uniform Fund of the Fife, Drum and Bugle coirs in the public solicitation
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-28

which took place last week. There will be no solicitation this week but the project will be resumed next week. The, joint commit. tee of the post and corps will meet at the post rooms on next We'd nesday evening to- decide upon the area to be canvassed next.
 The post voted to purchase tickets for the drum corps meet to be held in Stamford on Sunday for the benefit of the families of the victims of the bus accident of a few weeks ago.
 An invitation was accepted to be the guests of the auxiliary unit at a family picnic at the Dalton farm in Greystone on Sunday af. ternoon, September 18th.
 O'Rourkc Funeral
 The funeral of Mrs. Frank O.. Rourke of Chapel street, who died from injuries suffered when she was struck by an automobile on Thomaston avenue last Saturday night, took place yesterday morn- ing from the Bergin funeral home to St. Michael's church where Rev. John Roche, celebrated a high mass of requiem at g o'clock. Miss Winifred Delaney the organ. ist played the music of the mass and sang "Pie Jesu" as the offer tory solo.
 The bearers were: Fred Beebe, Thomas Ennis, William H. Smith, Lawrence McArdle, Patrick Ennis and Ronald Burns.
 The burial took place in new St. Joseph's cemetery where the committal service was read by Father Roche.
 Charles Bell of Lone Oak ave- nue, is patient at Waterbury hospital, where he is recovering from injuries suffered a few days ago when his automobile was sideswiped by another car, forc- ing him from the road and into a stonewall and telephone pole. Edward Miller of Yale street, his companion suffered a broken col- lar bone. The accident occurred at East Morris as the young men were returning from the outing of the Chase Companies.
 At the regular business meeting of the auxiliary of Casper Davis, Jr., Post, 136, American Legion, held at the Drum Corp room on Thomaston avenue Thursday even- ing, the president, Mrs. Hazel Northrop, as delegate to the res cent American Legion convention at Hartford, gave very interest ing and instructive report on the activities of the auxiliaries as giv- en by the various department chairmen. The Americanism chairman reported distribution of 2,100 flag codes this past year and the child welfare chairman re- ported $7559.6O expended in their work and over s8,000 used in Re- mobilization and $1,200 presented to the Legion to assist them In their rehabilitation work and $3,- 597.00 for Thanksgiving and Christmas work. By this report 1t can be seen that the different units are doing great work and the general public is asked to remember this and assist the lo- cal unit in their coming winter ac. tivities, as they have done so we'll during the infancy of Davis unit.

FORMING CLASSES
 IN GAEL DANCES
Enthusiastic Rebirth of In- terest in Old Time Nurl-
 berS Shown Here

With Gaelic dancing vending it's way into rapid popularity, classes in this form of recreation are being conducted under the su- pervision of Peter Crowley every Tuesday night at Eagles hall. Last night 26 couples were placed in class A and within a week or two these couples will be assigned as instructors. From that time on all interested in learning the proper Irish dance steps will be greatly enlarged in an effort to win just recognition for the Irish dancing which has been so sadly neglected in the past. The classes were in. stigated by a committee represent. ing the ish-American Social club. Within short period of time children's classes will be or. ganized under the same auspices.
 One of the novel additions at last nights rehearsal was the Rink a Fodha," an old dance which is about to be renewed. The steps were enthusiastically tried with great success. The "Kerry Polka" and "rory' have been prac- ticed during the past few weeks. Other dances will follow and with the incoming season 1t is to be ex- pected that good percentage of the Irish- American population will be familiar with the steps enough to warrant their attendance at such socials.
 Clifford and O'Sullivan's Irish, American orchestra provides the music at rehearsals and this unit has proven to be among the best in this vicinity. With their own orchestra and q larger number of persons becoming proficient. danc- CTS in this particular field Irish Americans predict e pleasant and active season.

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY FENTREss

Paris. (UP)-Mrs. Jesse Isidor
Straus, wife of the American Am
bassador to France, has been Sc
lecting gowns in the spacious grey
saloons of Captain Molyneux. One,
which was created especially for a
gala fete, is in shot taffeta in a
pale shade of aquamarine. The long
skirt is full at the hemline and the
moulded corsage is trimmed in
back with a row of tiny buttons
which run from the waist to the
hips.
A second evening gown is
fashioned of crinkled white chif-
fon. The corsage is deliberately cut
with a short cape which flutters in
back. The only touch of color re-
lieving the pure white is tailored
satin belt in emerald green. Molly
neux created this gown for a
charity ball.
On the same occasion Princess
Nicholas of Greece, mother of the
lovely Marina, wore gown from
the same house in ivory georgette
brocade splashed with gold flowers.
The decollette, both back and front
was draped-the fulness caught
with stitching. The gown was belt
less, moulded to the figure to the
knees, where the skirt fiared slight
ly to the floor. From Molyneux, too.
came the gown of the Duchesse de
Chaulnes in crinkled black chiffon.
The back decollete was edged in a
brief circular cape and the gown
was belted in pale pink ribbed
satin.

Solution in next issue

The three of diamonds is played
from dummy. Now, suppose you
were sitting in the West position;
would you play the ten spot? II
so, I am afraid that you did not
analyze the hand we'll.
North is practically marked
with the ace of hearts and the
ace of clubs, by the bidding, II
declarer has a losing spade, he
may be able to discard 1t ON
heart. Therefore West should
reason that the only chance he
has to defeat this contract he
try and make trump trick.
If he plays the ten spot, East
will continue with a diamond and
now West will be locked in with
the king. Then, regardless OF
what he leads, declarer will be
able to pick up his three trumps
and make his contract.
The smart play for West Is to
throw the king of diamonds on
the ace. hoping that his partner
has the queen, and when the
queen is played West can play
the ten spot. East then will con-
tinue with the third diamond and
this will assure West of a trump
trick.
II the deelarer trumps low In
dummy. West will be able to over
trump with the ten spot, while y
dummy trumps high, this will
automatically establish a trump
trick for West.

country's experts.
The Play
It is not unusual to meet this
daring type OF play among the
experts:
Against the five club contract,
East opens the ace Of diamonds.
He has figured that neither de-
ciarer nor his partner hold the
king OF diamonds, or at some time
or other In the bidding one Of
them would have to bid no trump.
Therefore East reasons that West
holds the king and feels safe IN
opening from his ace-queen OF
diamonds.
