No special committees have been
appointed for the suppers and
dances to be held at 1O3 Green
street or St. Joseph's hall, but 1t
is understood that the Lithuania n
citizens at the Green street loca-
ton will appoint their own sep
arate group while the entire per-
sonnet of the other committees
will combine their efforts for the
event at st. Joseph's auditorium.
One of the features of unusual
interest last night was the selection
of the first Lithuanian to come to
this city and make his home here.
That distinction will be awarded to
John Kolbeck, father of William
Kolbeck, popular garage owner. He
came to Waterbury about the year
of 1885 and was later married in
Naugatuck to a Lithuanian girl
who resided either in Naugatuck
or Union City. His first position
was that of scratch machine op-
orator in the plant of Holmes.
Booth and Hayden's. He later be-
came foreman. He is credited with
being responsible for many oppor-
tunities given other Lithuanians
due to the fact he hired many as
foreman.
Unless someone can present pos
tive proof that someone, else is
entitled to this honor, a tablet
stating the milestones of Mr.. Kol-
beck's life will be inserted at the
entrance of the home. At the pres
emit time a committee is seeking
records concerning the life Of the
man chosen and must go to Nauga-
tuck for this information. The
most impressive statements to the
effect that the honor should be
given to Mr.. Kolbeck were ad-
vanced by John Bender, ST., who
came here in 1885 and at that time
there were six established Lithu-
women. He recalled the appear
many single men but no young
anian families. There were also
ance of a girl who came here from
abroad at one time and her hand
was sought by many includin gtwo
young men who resided in Meri-
den. The story is told that these
suitors were stoned almost back
to the Silver City on one occasion
when they invaded Waterbury.

statement issued after the meeting

The number OF hours which
the store employees will work
