"Waterbury's Own'' Planning Re union

The 3O4th Infantry AssOcia- tion, "Waterbury's Own," will meet at the state armory Thurs day evening, March 28, for its annual business meeting, election of officers and for the general good time associated with the yearly reunion.

 During the World war the 3O4th Infantry included Water- bury recruits mObilizcd here and sent to Camp Devcns, Mass, for training. It was later sent over seas. Through rcplacements many of the outfit saw actual combat service with other units. Shortly before it's authorization brought back to Waterbury and fctcd by tho city.

BOARD DECLINES
 ACTION ON PLEAD
Italian Societies Fail in Petition for Supernu-
 jiiierary Policeman

No action on petitions sigDed by Italian societies. advocating the appointment of former Supernum- erary Nicholas Menzelle to the reg ular police force, was taken by the board of police commissioners at it's meeting late yesterday after noon. Such a result was expected, since the board has claimed pre- viously that the matter is out of its hands because of the fact that Menzelle was retired when he reached the age of 40. the limit for member of the supernumerary force.
 Menzelle, after his retirement, forwarded to the police board the claim that Italian birth records showed him to be but 38 years old, and not 40. at the time. Tho police board, however, held that it must follow the age figure given by Men zelle when he was first listed as a supernumerary.
 A plea for appointment of Mem zelle was made by John De Pas- tino. president of the Italian-Amer- ican Federation of Clubs and So- cieties. He stated that Menzelle had been a member of the force for 13 years. and had served as a reg. ular for several years of that time, though still ranked as a supernum- erary.
 The board referred to the com mittee on men and discipline a re- quest from Supt Joseph H. Mclean that consideration be given a course in first aid, to be directed by the local Red Cross.

 Reinforcement of the banks of the Naugatuck river has served to relieve the strain on the mind of property owners along North Riv- erside street, who at this time are usually removing all valuablcs from the. cellars in preparation for the floods that come with the rainy season. Lack of snow has also added to the comfort of those who have been affected in past years and now look forward to little or no trouble from overfiowing water.
