Personal Chatter
Cat Disturbance

The other day stray cat followed
Neva Grason and Mary Thomas to
school. By an act of kindness Neva
put the cat in the boiler room where
it would keep nice and warm. But
alas! Neva did not profit by this
for she was called from her English
class to the locker room to chase the
cat until she caught t.. With the
help of Mary Thomas and Mr.. Zim-
norman, Neva caught the cat and
put it out in the cold where it would
cause less disturbance.
Oh! The Three Cents!
The othr day in History class Flor
ence Drew and Catherine Keilholtz
carried on the following converse
ton, which seemed to give the
Sophomore class a big laugh;
Florence: Catherine, will you
mail a letter for me at noon?"
Catherine: Sure, Who's it tor
Florence: my boy friend
Hands letter 20 Catherinel.
Catherine: Where's the three

Florence: "Oh! Bless my soul!

Absent-Minded Sophomore
The other day Florence Drew en-
tered class with her galoshes on.

needed to pillow through the snow to

] Story by Hal Cochran

TDe sled ride was a wondrous thrill, until bump brought forth a spill. Then, everybody took a hop into the glist'ning snow.
 Poor Duncy went in to his neck. He scrambled out and cried, "Aw. heck! I wish I hadn't joined you. I knew this was where we'd go!"
 "Oh, sure, you are a real smart Jad,r said Dotty. Tt is just too bad that things like this must hap pen when you're having lots of run.
 "Eou want all things to break bs1st right. or else it is an awful fright. We're going to try another side. Beside us you can run"
 This stopped poor Duncy for Q while, and then he answered, with a smile, Gee, was only kid- ding. will gladly ride some more.
 "Ili be a game lad, after this, no matter what may go amiss." s'That's fine," said Scouty, "cause we don't know what might be in ytore."

 Denies Cut Plans
 Joseph c. Raytkwich, Jr., re- publican nominee for warden, has denied reports he would cut wages of street department employees lf he is elected. He also said that he will do all in his power as wraden to prevent and hourly reduction in wages of EZRA workers, if elected.
 These reduction reports had been circulated somewhat. They are believed to have been started be- cause last December Supervisor Harris Whittemore, Jr of the local EZRA said that reduction of EZRA pay might occur at the first of the year in order to pre- vent the EZRA here from com peting in prices with outside busi- ness, and preventing men from en- deavoring to secure jobs other than EZRA positions. This was opposed vigorously by Warden Sheridan and no such action resulted. How ever MT Whittemore's suggestion was made not as republican but as EZRA official here.
 The republican party is planning a rally Friday in the "Little Italy section in ChristofoFo Colombo hall. They also will Aave several in Union City Sunday. The g.o.p' second ward committee will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the borough court room to make plans for get ting out a complete male vote at the election Monday.

ful Tn work other than the High street project later on.
 With the use of mortar on this project, considerable progress is being made. Building of the wall is under the supervision of Burgess Leo Brophy. MT Groh said that white collar work would continue as usual in May, mo word having been received to the opposite ef- feet. It is known that since rein vestigation by the local social serv- ice department of Naugatuck. white collar workers, the number of hours per week some of the workers get has been considerably reduced. In some cases it has been cut in half. It is believed that dis covery of other means of support in these cases has led to such ac- ton.
 The workers in this division were originally investigated by the Waterbury social service branch but in April reinvestigation of cas- es here took place by the Nauga- tuck bureau.
 That old political feature, the prediction rally, seems to be go- ing out of fashion now. This year marks 8 new. low for the rally. With the election only five days off. not single rally has yet been held by either of the major parties here, the democratic and republican or ganizations.
 x It is no secret that political lead- CTS have in past years come to doubt the usefulness of the rally. They have often privately ex- pressed the belief that few if any votes are won or lost by the daily; that most persons have their minds made up as to which way they will vote long before the election comes around.
 True. both parties will hold ral- lies the latter part of this week, but more as a gesture to custom than anything else. The main ad- vantage of the rally is that it al- lows the parties to express their stad on some of the campaigns is- sues through the medium of the press which reaches thousands of more readers than ever attend rally.
 The main news about the com ing election is that politicians of both parties are acting outwardly as though the election were mat ter of the vague future, that is as far as naming the main issues con. verned, stating their stand on var- ious matters and generally ex. pressing the political ballyhoo that usually emanates in large Quanti- ties from both camps.
