 Tn his own words they (the fire mem are @ swell bunch of fellows. This was his reply to direct ques- ton by Burgess Noble as to whether or not the chief had any complaints to register about any of his men.
 "Chief Calvin later categorically denied the statement that he had no complaint to make against any of his men. While it is not desired to question the truthfulness of the chief, I simply cannot in fairness to myself and those who voted for me permit this statement of his to go unchallenged. =.

Naugatuck, Oct. 17.-The Armis- tice day parade will be held here this year in the evening instead of the morning as has been the cus- tom in the past, 1t was decided last
 night. Plans for the parade cele-
 bration were made at a meeting of
 Naugatuck post, American Legion last night at session in Pythian hall.
 Thomas Reynolds, former com- mander of the post, will have charge of arrangements in connec- tion with the affair. The deco
 ration of the Civil war and the World war monuments on the ! Green and Horseshoe respectively I will be held at the usual time in
 the mornings.
 It is believed more Legionnaires will be able to participate in the
 parade when held in the evening
 than do when the event is in the 4 morning. Some work on Armistice
 day and cannot turn out doing the
 daytime.
 For the same reason more spec- { tators will be able to view the
 parade if held in the evening, of-
 ficials believe. The decoration of
 veterans graves will be at the usual
 times. No parade marshal has
 yet been named.

Good Work by Bremen

Good Work by Bremen
 Good work was done by local fire men last night in quickly getting under control a fire in boys club known as the Eagles" club at the rear of 51 South Main street. A box alarm was rung in at 7:2O and when firemen arrived, they found a house warming party was going on and the wall behind the stove had sud- denly caught fire.
 Some of the wooden shack was saved but the most effective work done was in preventing spread of the flames to nearby buildings. The blaze had considerable headway and from high land on the southern and northern part of the town looked like big fire. Within six minutes, the firemen using the booster pump, had 1t under control. Only 8 few odds and ends were saved. One of the young members of the club rue fully remarked today We planned to have a house-warming but that was plenty hotter than we bar gained for"
 Jack Stauffer of this town escaped injuries when he was knocked down on North Main street last night at 2 o'clock by an auto driven by Miss Leona O'Neil, high school teacher. Stauffer was taken to the office Jf Dr. Edwin Curran where an exam- ination revealed no injuries. Miss O'Neil was not held by Patrolman Timothy Reardon who investigated. Stauffer was believed to have walked in front of her car.

 The police chief has come in for considerable praise since the iden- tificatoin was made known. It had been thought locally the case had been dropped some time ago and marked unsolved but the chief has been working on it ever since and apparently his efforts have not been fruitless.
 This gives the department aI- most clean slate as far as major robberies here in the past year are concerned for the hthieves have been apprehended in practically all cases.

Beacon Falls, Oct. 17-A special meeting of the freemen of Beacon Falls will be called for October 25, it was decided at the first meeting of the new board of selectmen last night. .
 The purpose of the meeting will be to see whether the freemen will decide to purchase 8 Town Hall. The present Town Hall is rented yearly. It would be saving in the long run to build new one here.
 I f the freemen vote to go ahead with the erection of new one, it would probably be submitted as a Works Progress administration pro- ject. This would relieve the town of a considerable part of the cost and at the same time would pro- vide work for needy here.
 Aside from the decision to call the special meeting, only routine busi- ness was discussed at the meeting last night. First Selectrnan Chris tian Heiss, Second Selectman Sher- man Stocker and Third Selectman Theodore SchmitZ were present.
 DevOtions Friday.
 October devotions will be cele- brated tomorrow night at St. Mi chael's Church here at 7:30. High school pupils will receive instruc- tions at the close of the meeting.
