VENTILAT0R FAN
 CAUSE OF SCARE

Despite evident nervousness on the part of a few partons, the audience at the Strand theater yesterday af- ternoon kept itself under control after noise from a ventilator fan had caused the idea that something was amiss. The ventilator fan started for the first time since late summer, created considerable noise as it started and few became alarmed, but the fan was shut off and there was no reason for any alarm.
 Especially commendable was the way in which a large number of youngsters in the balcony controlled themselves. The show went on with out any interruption. There was nothing wrong with the fan, and it would have been operating quiet ly had 1t been on a few minutes longer.

FAMOUS HOOKER
 BIBLE FOR SALE.
Present Owners May Dis- pose of It in Order to
 Preserve the Book

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 28.-(UP).- The famous Bible of the Rev. Thom- as Hooker, founder of Hartford and inspirer of Connecticut's first gov- ernment, which has been handed down from father to son for eight generations, may be sold to assure its preservation as historical relic.
 The book, valued at between $25o,oo0 and 5O00O0, now is possessed by Edward Eugene Hok- CT, Jr.. 72, Mt. Pocono, Pa, and his sister, Mary, 76, the last descendants of the militant leader who led band of 100 settlers here in June, 1886, from Cambridge, Mass, to set up the First church in Connecticut.
 Parts Are Missing
 Except for the title page, por- tions of exodus and all of Genesis, which were missed after the Bible was loaned for an exhibit many years ago, the book is intact.
 "As neither of us has married and as we are the last descendants of our line, I feel the time has ar- rived to decide how I shall dispose of the Bible," Hooker said.
 He decided against willing the book to another line of the family "as this would dissociate the Bible with the Hooker nne."
 "The people of Connecticut and Hartford hold the memory of Rev. Thomas Hooker in deep respect and in giving up custody of the Bible, I would like nothing better than to know it would be preserved as historical relic in some public place, such as the state library, where it would serve as @ public benefit to the people of this vicinity"
 Biographical Sketch
 The Bible contains brief bio- sketch of the Rev. Hook CT, who was born at Hartfordshire, England, in 1883 and came to New England in 1882. Historians credit his sermon, delivered May 31, 1638, with resulting in the adoption of the fundamental orders, the worlds first democratic constitution, out of which grew the general court and present governing bodies.
 The Rev. Hooker died July 2, 1647.

servance is sponsored annually by the league.
 October z7th was selected be- cause 1t is the anniversary of the birth of President Theodore Roosevelt, so much of whose life was devoted to establish ing sound naval policy for the United States of America. It will be remembered that Presi- dent Roosevelt first achieved a national reputation by writing 8 naval history of the war of 1872, a work of such merit that 1t was incorporated into Cloves Roy- al Navy 8 monumental history of the British sea service. La- ter, as assistant secretary of the Navy, and finally as president, Roosevelt bent his tremendous energies to impress upon the American people the necessity for an adequate navy, and en- deavored through his leadership to realize this ideal.
 October is also the month in which the American navy was founded in TITS by the con- tinental congress.
 In addition to paying a de- served tribute to the sea heroes of the nation and recalling the splendid part of the Navy has played in making and keeping up a nation, the Navy day ob- servance has proved 8 valuable means of fostering 8 better un- derstanding of the Navy and its work. Such information, in a country where government is by public opinion is essen- tial to the formation o cor rect judgments affecting naval policy, and in this work o information the Navy day ob- servance has played a consid- erable part.
 With the cooperation of the radio broadcasting industry, the press and the motion pictures, and with the participation of the navy and other govern mental agencies, as well as the American legion, the Daughters of the American Revolution, The Veterans of Foreign Wars and other patriotic societies and the schools, Navy day has dev- eloped into a day of serious thought on the subject of reas- enable naval defense.

 nights a week, Monday. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 2 to o'clock in Crosby High school, by the same faculty that functions in the day college.
 Restrictions Removed.
 All restrictions have been remov- ed from the path of the night ex- tension student. He requires no high school diploma and will be faced by neither entrance examina- tions, nor psychology tests. Accord ing to Miss Edna Harmon, assistant WPA educational director the step has been taken n order to make college study available to everyone, young and old, who is unable to attend the day college.
 Registration for the night exten- sion courses opened today at Miss Harmon's office in Crosby to con- tinue until Thursday night. Regis- tration over the telephone will be accepted and the hours are from 2 to s in the afternoon and 2 to 9 In the evening.
 Uniformity.
 "Close supervision by the various department heads in Mattatuck will be given the night classes" Miss Harmon stated. Each one of these heads is responsible for the class which will be repeated from his de- pertinent. We hope this will insure a uniformity of instruction in the high extension courses with the day college"
 The shift of the night extension from the college to the adult educa- tion program under Miss Harmon relieves Joseph Scully from his posi- tion as director of the evening col- lege. MT. Scully will continue as assistant director of the day college under Arthur L. Purinton.
 WPA officials in Waterbury have had this change under considera- tion for some time. It has appeared inevitable from the opening of Mat tatuck Community college last week that the evening branch of the col- lege and the adult education pro- gram, already under way, would conflict. By bringing the night courses of the college into the adult education program and removing all requirements, it is hoped that all
