Newly Formed Staff Addressed Today By
 Engineer Supervisor
Instructions Given at First Get-TOgether Session; rt to Direct Actual WOrk-3O Names Selected From
 WPA Lists Funds Allotted for Six Months

Thirty WPA workers engaged in the traffic survey which started this morning with headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce building on Field street were told that the work in Waterbury would serve as a cri- terion throughout the country of the usefulness of such 8 project.
 The staff was addressed by Har- old F. Hammond, traffic engineer of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters of New York City, who supervised the or ganization of the project here. MT. Hammond explained in detail the procedure to be followed in con- ducting the survey.
 He urged members of the staff who were possessed of talents in some particular field to use them in the work. Staff members who were able to write radio script, draw posters, or do other publicity work, would be of invaluable assistance, he said.
 Birt In Charge
 Funds have been allotted for a period of six months by the Works Progress Administration. according to MT. Hammond. It is expected that the work will be completed by that time. Robert P. Birt is directing the corps of workers, while the publicity for the campaign is being handled through the office of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce.
 Ultimate benefits expected to re- suit from the survey, it was pointed out this morning, are not only re- ductions in the number of accidents in the city, but a decrease in the au- tomobile insurance rate.
 The staff will be divided into two units. There will be field workers, employed in studies of danger points throughout the city, and office work CTS who will compile statistics at headquarters. Two engineers are members of the staff.
 Citizens Aid
 MT. Hammond said the safety campaign was already under way in the schools under the general sup ervision of Dr. Thomas J. Condon. The entire project will be worked out in cooperation with a citizens committee, appointed several months ago by Mayor Frank Hayes and headed by John M. Burrall. MT Hammond said the chief function of the committee would be to make recommendation to proper author ities, based on the findings of the survey staff.

Dentist Recalls Bishop
 OShea As First Patient

Dr. Daugherty said he and the bishop talked for more than an hour during which the priest eagerly followed the news of America as it flowed from the dentists tongue. It was a beneficial visit for Dr. Daugh- erty, too, he said, for he learned that the bishop was well post ed on things in China and who imparted to the young dentist some very helpful advice. Dr. Daugherty did not have the time he wanted to pay visits to Bishop O'Shea's two broth CTS, but plans an early visit with that purpose in mind.
 Dr. Daugherty added that he has followed with interest the several stories that have ap- peared in which Bishop o. Shea's life was endangered by Chinese bandits.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-12

Dr. P. Rees Daugherty, prom inent dentist of Darien, but more recently of Honk Kong, China, paid a visit to one of his classmates at Pennsylvania uni- versity, Dr. Bernie A. O'Hara, in Waterbury last night and re- ceived a pleasant surprise.
 In the course of his conversa- tion, Dr. Daugherty commented that the first patient he had when he went to China was Rt. Rev. Bishop John A. O'Shea, brother of Rev. Francis M. o. Shea, administrator of the I'm maculate Conception church and of Rev. William J. O'Shea, pastor of St. Margaret's church and principal of the Waterbury Catholic high school.
 He was surprised when in- formed by Dr. O'Hara that Bishop O'Shea's two brothers were residents of Waterbury and both in responsible church positions here.
 Dr. Daugherty, who only dropped into town in the eve ming said that after being grad uated from the Pennsylvania Dental college, he practiced for three years and then accepted sl appointment to Hong Kong..
 He was engaged in his office one day, after having set it up for patients, when a heavily bearded priest walked in for treatment. It was Bishop o. Shea, who said he had been in China for eight months, being located in the hills where he founded 8 mission. The bishop had not seen a white person during those eight months and naturally was elated to find a man of his own race to con- verse with in his native tongue.

7. B. SERUM A SUCCESS

Carl Erickson and Mike Schmidt,
68 and So, took chance and are now
on the bright side of the gray walls
of the Colorado state prison. They
are two very ordinary "life-termers"
whose chief claim to fame lies in
their present perfect state of health.
Some months ago they offered them
selves as subjects for experimental
tests of a new serum for the proven
ton af tuberculosis. They were inocu-
lated with the serum and then their
blood streams filed with tuberculosis
germs. The serum was untried on hui
mans and they gambled their lives
for their freedom, but repeated ex-
aminations have failed to reveal any
trance of the disease so they appar-
emily have won. The important indi-
cation Of their present health, how
ever, is that the serum is apparently
success and may soon be made
available to the public. It was devel-
oped after Is years Of work, by doc
tors in the National Jewish Hospital,
in Denver.

RELATIVES CANNOT COLLECT
LIFE INSURANCE OF GREENS

Relatives of Bascom and Lester
Green, father and son, who were re-
Gently electrocuted in the state prison
for their part in the murder of the
Taylorsville bank cashier, are barred
from collecting on insurance policies
in force at the time of the electrocu-
ton, it is ruled by State Insurance
Commissioner Dan Boney.
The premiums had been paid up to
the time of their execution and opin-
ion was generally expressed among
insurance men in High Point that the
insurance amounting to approximate
ly $1,000 would be paid.
Boney, however, points to rulings
of both the North Carolina Supreme
court and the United States Supreme
court which tend to show that execu-
ton by the state voids the contract in
the policy even if there is an incon-
testible provision in it. Boney, in his
letter sent to High Point, says that
the insurer is only liable for the re-
turn of the premiums.

OYSTER CATCHES FISH

A Observation-Disclosures bullfsh,
sluggish and faded but still alive,
was found in tightly closed oyster
shell recently by a Maryland oyster
fisherman. The fish had evidently nos
ed his way inside the open shell of a
feeding oyster which had then clamp
ed it's natural armor shut. To atone
for the indignity of being thus i'm
prisoned the fish consumed the
oyster. but this did not open the shell.
