CITY AWARDED
 STATE HONORS
Waterbury Given Honor able Mention for Fire
 Prevention Week

Waterbury won honorable men, tion among the cities of the United States for activities conducted here during fire prevention week. Hart- ford was awarded first place among the Connecticut cities in the contest, which was conducted by the Ma tional Fire Protection association and second place went to Green wich.
 During fire prevention week, which was conducted a couple of months ago, special educational programs were conducted in the schools under the direction of Fire Marshal Dem his J. Lahey, Captain William Rus sell and Private Eugene Legge.
 Noticeable in the reports from hun- dreds of cities throughout the coun- try entered in the contest was a definite increase in the intensive ness and effectiveness of the cam paign, according to the national or ganization. According to the report from September 29th to October 18th there were 336 cities in the country with fireless weeks and 8T cities had a weekly fire loss of less than $35.
 Only few New England cities were awarded prizes or honorable mention. The fact that Waterbury was included on the list, therefore was highly pleasing to local officials this morning.

Social Justice Unit
 May Be Formed Here
Organization Meeting Planned Tomorrow at Eagles
 HaII-RObert COughIin Heads Movement

Formal organization for the Na- klunal Union for Social Justice will Cake place tomorrow morning at a pneeting at Eagle hall on North Main street at II o'clock. The union is Chat which has been advocated by Rev. Charles E. Coughlan in his Sunday addresses from the Shrine Of the Little Flower, Royal Oak, Michigan. First movements to- wards bringing the membership to- Rether were recently made by Rob- ert Coughlin of Cottage place.
 MT. Coughlin has requested that all organizers appointed by Father Coughlin, attend this meeting and be prepared to outline the plans they intend to pursue in their in- tiividual organizations. The meeting will be open to all classes and creeds and people of every re- ligious belief, providing of course they are voting citizens.
 The Democrat learned today that one well known local attorney has declined to be considered a candi- date for the leadership of the en- tire Waterbury membership. This attorney, 1t is said, refused to con- sider the post because of the fact that he is Catholic and as such he believes that the honor should be given to one of another region, tnasmuch as he was of the opinion that all Catholics are in sympathy with the movement, and the re- maining task is to interest others.
 It has also been learned that the movement has already made con- siderable progress in this city. Or ganizers have been active in many of the factories and several have al- ready attained their quota of 250 members. In some instances em- ployes of Scovill's and of the Chase company have been making a week. ly contribution to Father Coughlin for . continuance of his radio talks. This practice has been in existence for the past two years and has re- gently been extended to the point where more of these groups have been formed. The method used was to collect from each member once a week, the amount received being forward to Royal Oak, Michigan.
 Leaders of the movement for the organlzation of the national union however, assert this group will not be asked for financial contributions, but will be asked to cooperate in the movement for the encourage ment of those policies for which such groups have bene brought into existence. The meeting tomorrow morning. 1t is expected, will attract nearly 500 persons of the various denominations specified in the re- cent radio talks given by Father C0ughlin.

IRISH-AMERICANS
 PLANNING SOCIAL
Proceeds Will Defray Ex- penses of St. Patrick's
 Day Celebration

Plans for an entertainment and dance to be held on January 31st were made last night at meeting of the Irish-American social club which took place at Eagles hall. The proceeds of the venture will be used to defray the expenses of eel ebrating St. Patrick's Day in 1e3s. Although no announcement was forthcoming to the effect that there will be parade, plans were out lined with that thought in mind. The members will also hold din- ner on the Sunday previous to the Patron Saint day of Ireland and in the evening of March IT. hold so- c1al and dance at Buckingham hall. This location was held under option for several weeks and 1t was voted last night to exercise this holding. A committee was appoint ed to complete negotiations today.
 The committee in charge of the minstrel show was instructed to meet on next Friday night at 29 Field street to complete preliminary plans. The committee is headed by Dr. John D. Freney and includes, Edward J. Loughrain, ST., Michael J. Lynch, Michael J. Whelan, Fred J. Carr, Arthur J. Lunny, John McHugh, William O'Neil, John P. Barry. Thomas Reidy, Thomas o. Conner, William Fitzell and James German.
 An appeal for additional spirit among the members of the Irish race and that extraction in this city was launched by President George T. Ryan and Thomas J. Reidy. The latter praised the Ital- fans for their response to the ap- peal of Mussolini for gold trinkets to aid Italy in time of national trial. MT. Reidy said that the Irish were inclined to look back upon past victories and sing over past defeats, but many fail to see into the future, while others don't want to or haven't the courage. He de- clared that the Irish in this city can do better for their own than what they are at the present time. Reports were read that the or ganization distributed several bas- kets prior to Christmas and that the charities of the club had not ben overlooked.
 Praise was given the club basket ball team and President Ryan and members of the sports committee announced that when the team is playing out of town, any of the members wishing to attend the game will meet at Field street from which point busses will trans 1 port them to the scene. The team consists of players of Irish-Ameri- can extraction, each of whom is a member of the club.
 Entertainment was provided by Edward Bowling, Irish accordionist, Patrick Shanahan, pianist, and the McKenna Brothers, tap and Irish dance stepping team.

HOTEL PARTIES
 OPEN NEW YEAR
Restaurants, Night Clubs Already Refusing Res-
 ervatiOns for Tuesday

Managers of hotels, restaurants and night clubs in Waterbury and vicinity are making preparations for what is expected to be the most enthusiastic celebrations of New Years eve experienced here since the hectic twenties. Purses which have been thinly padded during the lean depression period are lined well enough this year to permit hundreds of persons to once more resume their annual custom of spending the holiday eve at some popular resort.
 In hundreds of private homes, house parties will be held as many persons take this means of cele- brating the occasion. Cover charges will probably be somewhat higher than they have been since the de- precision set in more than five years ago. The minimum prices re- ported today are six and seven dol- lar per person. Many of the better known resorts already have run out of reservations.

Joseph Stillman, about 45, of the Golf Lots, was sentenced to serve 60 days in jail on each of the counts of intoxication and breach of the peace when he was arraigned before Judge John F. McGrath in city court this morning. But Joe probably won't know about this mornings proceedings for a day or two because he was overwhelmingly guilty of the first of the two counts when he appeared before the bench.
 Joe was before the court because he tossed a trafflc sign through a plate glass display window in a store at 2O6 South Main street yesterday afternoon.
 When his case was called this morning, Sergeant John Brickel shook his head and informed the court it was doubtful if Joe could face the bench, for he was reclining peacefully on the bench in the cell block, oblivious to all the goings on.
 What's he charged with?" asked the court.
 When informed of the trafic sign airplaning through the window, Judge McGrath parked:
 Get him up here and let him know what's going on--rouse him!"
 After several rather rough rous- ings by Sergeant Brickel, Joe mean dered out and with blinking eyes faced the court.
 "You are charged with drunken ness and breach of the peace" said Prosecutor Charles Summa.
 Nothing from Joe.
 What is your plea, guilty or not guilty?"
 Still nothing from Joe.

BUILDING HELPED
BY ORGANIZATION
Efficiency and Public Con.
fidence Result in Local
Communities.

Effective organization Of residential
building interests in local communi-
ties, so that more efficient service
can be established that will merit
greater confidence Of the buying pub
lie, is urged by B. L. johnson, editor
of American Builder.
Speaking recently before a group
Of building men in Detroit, Mr.. John
son said the need for this type of set
up was more pronounced at this time,
due to the new home building era
opening up under the auspices Of the
Federal Housing Administration. Such
organizations, the editor said. should
be able not only to produce, but also
to guarantee the new housing needed
and to produce 1t at costs that will
win the approval Of buyers, and so
help to restore employment and pros
perity in ever-growing volume.
What I have In mind" said Mr..
johnson, "is an association Of resi-
Dental builders in each local COM
munity. Each would have several
important detectives in line with cur
rent movement to the builder organi-
zation that Is gathering headway
throughout the Nation"
The announced objectives Of the
Residential Builders League Of Ohio
were pointed to by Mr.. johnson as an
example Of what he proposes. These
include:
/. TO create q uniform license law
for residential builders in the State
of Ohio.
z. To furnish banks and other
