OLD BABE RULES
 WASHINGTON ZOO
Boss Elephant Shows Su- periority Over Bad
 Actor" From Malay

Washington, (UP)-Everything has been quieti the elephant house at the Washington zoo since Old Babe made Peaches behave.
 Old Babe is veteran circus trouper who was queen of the picket line before Barnum flour ished. She recently went into re- tirement here.
 ; Zoo officials found themselvesi n a quandary when they tackled the problem ofb how to keep Old Babe from being lonely after her 50 years as boss of an elephant herd.
 The only available companion for the queen was Peaches, a husky 18-year old "bad actor from the wilds of the Malay Archipelago. Peaches was nat ural-born bully, who outweighed Babe by several hundred pounds and knew no master.
 Officials realized, however, that Old Babe has placated more than 100 unruly upstarts in her time and that she had quieted mad stampedes when accidents or riots occurred. They decided to put her in with Peaches.
 Dr William Mann, Zoo director, has described what took place when the elephants met. He said, "the young bully started at Old Babe, head down, to ram her into the wall and show her who was boss. @
 old Babe took one light slap at the upstart with her trunk, a light the upstart with her trunk, alight practiced slap that loosened tusk and gave the youngster pause.
 "Then Old Babe trumpeted a soft command, rumble which issued from deep within her body. It was elephant talk, and 1t told the youngster something she understood at once.
 Perhaps Old Babe is of jungle royalty--I don't know. You'll have to ask her newest subject. I've watched them for several months now, and I know that old Babe still rules" ttt@

 A charge of violation of proba- tion against Paul Gagnon, 20 of 731 South Main street, Waterbury, was nolled on the recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Martin Caine who told the court Gagnon was paying an assessment of S5 owed on a previous charge and $11.26 for costs in the present case or a total of $16.26.
 A charge of violation of proba- ton was also nolled against Nich- olas Fasano, 19 of 635 Congress avenue, Waterbury on the request of the prosecuting attorney who said Fasano was paying Q total oi $32.12 of which $20.86 was due or the original fine and $11.26 al costs on the present case.

Tol- les to work out in jail a total of 429.S7 owed of which $18.61 was owed previously and $11.2s costs on the present count. Johnson had not visited Probation Officer William J. Nixon since last June and had refused an offer made some time ago by Judge Tolles to accept a position in the Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Judge Tolles then told him at that time he would have to pay the fine or go to jail.
 He therefore ordered him to jail today although Johnson had

Naugatuck residents who passed the building next to the town hall which is occupied by the Nauga- tuck Building and Loan association and the Western Union Office were surprised to note yesterday after noon that the glass doorway was splintered and chacked. Some won- dered If an auto had run across the sidewalk. Others thought per- haps some Red sympathizers had come to town and were showing their defiance at law and order by throwing missiles at the store.
 Neither guess was accurate. What happened was unusual. A car slid into the curb at a fairly fast speed and in doing so it hit Q stone in the road. The stone. which was fairly large, caromed off the wheel of the car and crashed heavily against the door. cracking 1t in several places.

"White Collar" CInanges''

Naugatuck's EZRA will continue Indefinitely, Christian Groh, EZRA official, states. However, he said that after March l the commercial and professional division better known as the white collar" group will be under the work division and will be paid under this sec- tion.
 This means there will be certain restrictions. he said, but was not prepared to say just what these will be. He indicated there might be increased efficiency when the new order of things comes about. Just how this will be arrived at is not certain.
 He said the white collar work of doing indexing records of the board of assessors should be com- pleted within a week. He expects the general index of the records of the board of warden and burgesses will be finished in about two weeks. It had been feared by some that there would be no more clerical work of this nature after March |.
