SERVICE CLUBS | HELP CRIPPLE
Local Campaign for Un-
 fortunate Tots Opens April 8

Every service club in Waterbury and vicinity as well as other civic and social organizations interested in welfare work will be asked to assist in the local campaign for the benefit of crippled children of the state according to tentative plans announced to-day. The drive will be officially launched through out the nation during the second week in April when seals similar to those used by Anti-Tuberculosi societies in their annual campaigns will be publicly placed on sale.
 It is expected that local com mittees will be named within few days. William M. Harris, city re- lief administrator, who is a. mem. Der of the original committee spon- soring the drive in Connecticut outlined plans for the campaign to-day in an address to members of the Naugatuck Rotary club.
 In Waterbury, the Kiwanis club, because of it's interest in crippled children, is expected to take J particularly active part in the drive. Dr Theodore Bevans, president ot the club, explained to-day that while the organization has prom. ised full cooperation it is in no way taking charge of the local cam. paign. Dr Bevans said thnt service clubs here would all take part in,the work and that MT liar. ris would probably be requested to attend to organization details.
 Throughout the state it is planned to form new branches ot the Connecticut Society for Grip. pied Children" in each community and to make the campaign an an. nual event.

March's Fire Record
 Below Mark Of 193O
Fire Department Answered Over l26 Calls to Date;
 z76 in 30 Stands Out as "AI Time Record"

The surrent month continues to be the busiest of the year for Wa terbury's fremen, with IS more alarms yesterday keeping the fire- fighters almost constantly busy from moon till g o'clock last night. In between alarms, however, fire men were confident today that March of this year will not come anywhere near the record total of alarms set five years ago.
 In April of 1880 firemen answer ed total of 276 alarms, a record tht has never been equalled in the history of the department. In comparison with that figure, the present months's total does not ap- pear to be so hikh. Up to Monday night, there had been 1O8 alarms for this month. Yesterdays IS brought the gran dtotal to 126, with five more days left in the month.
 The figure for April, 1890, means that daily alarms averaged more than nine in number. The figures up IO tnS present TOT LnlB month give an average daily alarm total of between four and five, just a. bout half the average for the rec- month.
 As was the case in April five years ago, most of this month s alarms have been for brush fires and grass fires. This months alarm figures were hardly even up to normal when a veritable epidemic of brush fires broke out last week. Last Friday, 29 calls were regis tered at headquarters, while a dozen or more have been marked up almost every day since that time.
 Considering the number of a. larms, fire damage has been ex- tremely low in March. The month s major fire was the Center street apartment house blaze of early in the month, but damaging blazes have been recorded since that time The brush fires have been trouble. some but not dangerous.

'CITRON PROTESTS
 NAVY RESOLUTION
He Backs New London Submarine Training
 Schools Interest
By PAUL MAY Democrat Correspondent)

Washington, D. c. March 27- New London's submarine training schools interest will be protested Tuesday by Representative William Citron who will attend hearing of the House Naval Affairs Com mittee which is Investigating the possibility of reopening the train- ing station at Key West, Florida.
 MT Citron learned of the move- ment Monday and stated that he would be present at the hearing Tuesday and see that nothing took place that woulud in any way ef- feet the New London station.
 The resolution that the commit tee is acting upon would have the winter maneuvers transferred to Key West due to climatic condi- tion in and around New London.
 The Navy Department has made an adverse report on the matter but Representative Mark Wilcox CD. Fla.) is putting up bitter fight for the proposal.
 MT Wilcox claims the Navy De- partment has misunderstood his resolution and that the report in dicates that he is seeking to trans fer the operations entirely to Key West. This, he says, is not true as all he wishes to do is to obtain for the Florida base, that has been practically abandoned for the past 16 years, is the winter training.
 MT Citron stated that he would be on hand Tuesday and see that no change was made that would affect the status of the New Lon- don school.
