LIQUOR RETAILER
GIVEN JAIL TERM
River st. Man Here q
Years Has No Citizen
ship Papers

Joseph King, As, of River
street was sentenced to 80 days in
Jail on charges of liquor viola
lions after he admitted to Judge
John F. McGrath in city court this
moring that he has been in this
country 23 years but has not TAX
en- out his citizenship papers.
There has been considerable
comment of late on the number of
aliens storming the local common
pleas court to obtain citizenship
papers as a result of a news
story appearing exclusively in The
Democrat that local industries
were clamping down on aliens in
barring them where governmental
projects were being completed
here.
King was one of three men ar
rested by the local emergency
squad in a period of - hours on
Wednesday. He was charged in
dourt to-day with having nine GAL
Ions Of liquor with intent to sell.
After the Jail sentence was I'M
posed, Kings counsel announced
an appeal to the common pleas
court would be taken. Bonds of
$500 were fixed pending the out
come of the appeal.
Judge McGrath interrogated
King after testimony of Officer
Fred Hickey of the emergency
squad was offered. The officer
said he, with Patrick Moy,an, Pat
rick Hobart and Ernest Pakul Wis.,
tied Kings place Wednesday night,
They found the first floor vacant
King was noticed coming down
the stairs, carrying a quart Of col.
ored alcohol. When he saw the
officers he dashed the bottle
against the wall.
The officers took him back up
stairs and found the nine gallons
of liquor on the third floor.
Judge McGrath asked King how
long he had been in this country.
The accused answered that he had
been in America 23 years and
about eight years in Waterbury.
He said he is married and has sew
eral children.
Judge McGrath then asked King
why he hadn't taken out his pa
pers. The accused shrugged his
shoulders and gave no answer.
Judge McGrath then sentenced
King to 80 days in Jail.

Two weeks ago, according
to the independents, the
Southern New England COM
pany proposed an increase
from 40 cents to so cents per
hundred pounds. The indepen-
dents refused to go in ON the
proposed increase ON the
grounds that it would mean
additional costs to the con-
sumers. AS a result, the i'm
dependents charge, the South
crn New England company
started undersclling them in
an attempt to force through
the price rate increase.
AS a result the independents
are ready to slash their prices,
too, to meet the low prices of
the Southern New England, as
shown by the action of one in
dependent at o'clock this af-
ternoon in dropping the cost
of manufactured ice from 40
to 80 cents per cake and of
natural ice from 40 to 20
cents a cake.
The price war on ice is one
of the bitterest fights between
local concerns in the city's
history, reports indicate, and
the public is watching to see
whether the independents or
the Southern New England
CORPORATION wins out.

Subsequent to the announcement
that the Red Cross swimming
classes at Crosby high school pool

fantile paralysis, DR.. Godfrey said
that he is not ordering any pools

1t is almost impossible to realize
what this will mean to the community

I'd like to find out from the tele-
phone company whether or not the
crank boxes of residents vary in size.
Maybe some people just used them
more than others.
All company employees should see,
while they're at this task, that all
crouch tubes, connected to the crank
box, are taken out at the same time,
otherwise this peace among all man.
kind might not last.
To make this worldwide, the COM
pany ought to shanghai Mussolini and
Hitler, and get their crank boxes.
It's unbelievable, the extent to which
this practice might be carried. If it
were only true, what this "other pap
err" said last week. We are all for
the more efficient and modern system
where there would be no crank boxes
among our residents.
Doctors are wondering whether or
not the operation can be performed
without pain. They will study the
method of the telephone company and
hope for the best.
In the meantime each resident of
the town can do a lot about it himself.
An unused crank box will disappear
of its own accord in several months,
by being absorbed into the bloodstream
and thence into the heart. Therefore,
if you spread good cheer around here,
the ills of the community will vanish.
This extraction of crank boxes from
residents has its good points, and the
telephone company deserves a vote of
thanks. And you all can vote at the
general election at Mt. Lake Park, in
August.
