Naugatuck, Oct. 8 = Warning against carelessness which results in fires is given in an appeal by Fire Marshal Michael Shea to Nau- gatuck residents to observe Fire Prevention Week, The statement is- sued today, follows:
 Fire Marshall Shea calls atten- tion of the people of this Borough to Fire Prevention Week.
 Fire as it keeps us warm and cooks our food and serves in count less other ways isJa boon to man. kind but only when 1t is friendly. Fire Prevention is always boon to mankind for without this science of fire control our civilization now would never have been possible.
 In attempting any systematic stu dy of fire waste certain fundamen- tals and indisputable facts must be kept in mind.
 Fire waste causes useless loss of life, of employment of created wealth in property of natural re- sources and of commercial prospe- rity. It also imposes an economic burden upon all our people for the expense of fire extinguishment. The financial loss has reached such alarming proportions that it consti- tutes one of the most vital prob- lems in any national plan for con- servation and imperatively demands the adoption of effective steps for it's control. Every life taken by fire is 8 loss which cannot be measured by financial value, while every building in this country represents energy and money and when de- stroyed by the flames brings loss to the community at large. The in- direct loss involves interrupted busi- ness relationships, loss of earnings of employees, loss to property own- CTS through vacant dwellings and loss to municipalities through de- struction of taxable values. These costs even regarded solely in their economic effects are beyond the power of figures to represent.
 It is a known fact that thousands of persons lost their lives in fire an- nually. no one can think of a more horrible fate. Yet it is a possible end for all who scoff at carelessness and who do not follow the sugges- tions of the fire marshalls. Many of whom have devoted 8 lifetime of study to the subject.
 Again fire is 8 set back to any industry in fact many companies are forced out of business after suf-

M The Local ,Theaters
STATE

Performance tonight conclude the engagement, at Warner Brothers State theater, of "The Big Broad cast of 1886" and "The Public Mem ace" Make sure you see these two perfect hits before they leave Water bury tonight. Everyone is talking about this show.
 Tomorrow brings a new double feature program and of course it's Registration Night. Remember evening prices start at p. m.
 On the screen, another phase of the U. s. Governments efforts to rid the nation of its arch criminals is revealed for the first time in "Spe- cial Agent" starring Bette Davis and George Brent.
 Special Agent" is powerful drama with 8 glowing romance, based on the daring exploits and thrilling adventures of the under cover men of the Treasury Depart ment.
 These sleuths relentlessly follow the trail of gamblers, extortionists and racketeers of every sort, until they get their men and land them behind the bars of federal pris- ons for violation of the income tax. In Special Agent" the inner work ings of these operatives are re- vealed.
 Both Brent and Bette go through some narrowing experiences in their battle with the gang before they land the crooks in the government net in a most surprising and smashing climax.
 Ricardo Cortez, Jack Lathe, Rob- ert Strange, Henry O'Neill and a host of other favorites are in the supporting cast.
 The companion feature will be T Live For Love" 8 romantic com- edy with musical background starring Dolores Del Rio with Broadway's favorite Everett Mar shall also Allen Jenkins, Guy Kib- bee, Hobart Cavanaugh, Berton Churchill and others.
 The array of hits coming to the State during the ensuing weeks of late fall and winter are unques- tionably the most sensational in the history of the industry. Watch for them week after week.

GARDEN

A crook story built around an unusual, plot. is Get That Man" which opened at the New Garden treater last night.
 Unlike many dramas dealing with the operations of the cri- minal world, "Get That Man" does not keep the audience in ig- norance of the real identity of the perpetrators of the crime. nor does 1t attempt to mislead the observer as to the intent of those involved. The story is built around the remarkable resemblance of Jack Kirkland, proprietor of 8 one car taxi service who, becomes in- volved with Q couple of bank rob- bers whom he has taken as fares, and the missing heir of 8 million aire who is being sought by the executors of the will.
 Wally Ford is manly and con. v'.1cing in the double role of Kirk land and the real heir, while Lil- Han Miles does . subtle piece of work in the colorful role of the blonde adventures4 and black Taller. Other excellent character izations are contributed by Leon

Marshal Warns Of
 Fire Carelessness
Attention of Naugatuck People Called to Prevention
 Cooperation of All Requested

fering a fire, others are obliged tc resume operations on smaller scale or with credit impaired.
 We should bend every effort tc prevent fires in our local industries which would bring misery to many families who would be out of work should 8 large fire occur.
 As business gains in volume in. dustrics will rush to step up pro- duction. Under such conditions the whole order of the day is more anc more goods. Other factories that have long been closed will reopen in the keen competitions and rival " for business and profits there is 8 danger that the essential ele- ments of safety as regards fire vii be forgotten or disregarded. Se- rious hazards may develop if equip ment is not carefully gone over and put into first class condition and if fire dangers are not checked Then fire losses will mount at an alarming rate again.
 The coStrol of fire waste in theI future is therefsr very much in theI hands of industry. However for aI business to suffer @ destructive fire| just as recovery was bringing pro-I lit back into the picture would in-| deed be a hard blow. Perhaps the| realization of this will influence the| managers of industries to take nore precautions against fire dangers.
 Accordingly as the depression re- cedes and activity in constructicr| is renewed the building industry will have an opporturrry to aid ir5 keeping renewed the building ind dustry will have an opportunity tA aid in keeping fire losses down h making every effort possible it ] well to remember that architects| play, an important part in any con struction program. Of necessity buildings are com4 pleted in accordance with planS prepared before hand and will mol be Fire-safe unless the architect has so specified. Fire wastes Health and Wealth.

AAA Looks Itself Over

Taking precautions against publi- city, about 50 of the highest off, cials in AAA recently had a secret three-day weekend at the old Weather Bureau station at Mount Weather, Va, to discuss various AAA headaches. Secretary Wallace and Administrator Chester Davis led this retreat to the hills.
 Foremost on the agenda was the problem of AAA and the consumer. Wallace rammed home the point to 8 largely farmer-minded group that insistence on scarcity and high prices would eventually wreck the AAA.
 He said the program must be made a flexible one, not just . check-writing process, and that farmers mustn't be encouraged to demand programs which would cause consumers to turn against them.
 The conference was presented with results of a great national sur- vey with acreage-production estim- ates on the bases of: l. Soil con- servation and good farm manage ment. 3. Parity prices. 3. Normal consumption.
 Some of the tables showed star ting discrepancies. AAA's job, its officials were told, was to compro- mise them on a sound basis.
 The figures are being kept secret. In fact, all hands at the conference were sworn to secrecy.

 The New York man found a wooden box and mounted it at the corner of 18th and U streets. He announced his candidacy for presi- dent of the United States on a plat form calling for the closing of the Cotton Club.
 Two colored policemen came to the scene as he thundered on. But his friend restrained them, saying:
 Don't you recognize Herbert Hoover when you see him? Give him a chance. After all, this doesn't happen very often"
 The cops promptly devoted them selves to keeping back the crowd, which soon amounted to nearly 200 people.
 No one knows how long this might have gone on if a couple of girls hadn't come along in a car and invited the speaker for 8 ride down town. He said good night to his audience and accepted at once.
