splendid professional man fhaf he was, knew and recognized them as fellowmen and a6 friends.
 Convictions
 The doctors so-caIled strengtsi of mind, rugged individualism.,s came from his early habits Of regarding truth and principles as something that would not per@ init of compromise. His attitude could never be construed as stubborness, for l always waa inclined to the opinion that the doctor thought well and long be- fore arriving at conclusion and once he decided that he was allied with truth he preferred not to surrender without overS whelming evidence being subs mitted. &
 All through his varied political career, his long years of fraternaf experience, one can find eyidehce of the doctors sincerity. The records of the city of Waterbury will bear witness to the claim that many of his ideas expressa ed years ago have been adopted today as the essence of progress sive government of community.
 Family Contacts
 Dr Hayes, believe, had more family contacts than any other physician in the city. He was native of Waterbury and lived to the three-Score and eighteen age. His interest in his friends and his patients led him to fol- low the success of the younger generation as the years passed by, but at the same time he never ceased keeping in touch with his friends and acquaint. ances of his own generation.
 A few wekes ago Dr Hayes was in attendance at a wake of friend. He was seated with a number of well known men in the kitchen of the home when a room and quietly took a chair to one side, without addressing anyone in particuular.
 One os the gathering remarked to the effect: Aren't the doc- tors on speaking terms?".
 "Oh, yes," was the quick re- tort of Dr Hayes, II spoke to the doctor long before he was able to speak to me-" meaning that he was present when the much younger physician made his bow into this world.
 Loyal Son
 And I know Dr Hayes could have said the same of hundreds of other men and women of equal prominence. It was one of the late doctors assets to know and to remember the rising gen. eration and mingle and find his real, personal happiness with the old. For despite his brusque- ness and professional reserve at times, the city of Waterbury has had few sons so sincere at heart, so well-meaning, so friendly and solicitious as the late Dr Hayes Peace to his ashes.

State Road Sought From New Highway;
 Petition Prepared
Community Club Sponsors Movements ts-Lena Whit taker Named Chairman of Committee Seeking
 Signers-TwO Speakers Addressed Meeting

Definite action was taken last night by the Bucks Hill Communi- ty club toward bringing bus serv- ice from Waterbury to that section of the city. The club also started a movement toward having the state construct a state road from the new highway running from Bristol to Wolcott, down through Bucks Hill to Waterbury.
 Miss Lena Whitaker was ap- pointed chairman of a committee to petition residents of the Bucks Hill, Pearsallville and upper North Main street sections of the city for the two projects. It Is reported that the Connecticut Co. Is agree able to placing bus service at the disposal of residents of the three sections named and along Chase Avenue, from Cooke street to North Main street.
 Route Described
 The route that would be taken by the busses, if the petition brings results, would be from Exchange Place to Waterville, to Homer street, along Chase avenue to North Main street to Bucks Hill. Residents of Bucks Hill and up- per North Main street have been without trolley and bus service since the cars running from Water. bury to Waterville, via North Main street, were taken off the line. Nu- merous movements have been started in the past but none result ed in definite action., It is expect cd that the petition to be .circula- ted by Miss Whitaker will bring 100 per cent results.
 The petition has to be presented to the Public Utilities Commission at Hartford and the signers have to appear before 1t, at a special hearing. If the commission grants the application of the Connecti- cut Co.,, the bus service should result.
 Bucks Hill residents, in refer ence to the state road project, point out that it would be but a small cost to join the road lead- ing from the new highway from Bristol to Wolcott, to the road leading to Waterbury through the Bucks Hill section. It would save Waterburians a good deal of time to be able to have a state road running to Hartford from the north end of the city.
 The North end of the city is the only section where there is no road leading out of or into Water- bury. Waterbury can be ap- preached from the South End, the East End. and the West End, but not from the North End.
 Mrs Minor Speaks
 7 At last nights meeting, two speakers were heard. Mrs Henry w. Minor discussed the highlights of trip she recently took through Radio City in New York. Miss Helen King of Nauagtuck spoke on the dental hygiene program in the borough schools. The club re- ceived an inyitation to attend tho special meeting of the Odd Eel lows tonight when Randall C.. Brink, past president of the Com munity Club, will be presented q decoration. Miss Lena Schmidt presided at the meeting.

STATUS OF LOCAL. COURT UNCHANGED
Unlimited Jurisdiction Is Denied New Haven
 Court By Assembly


 Waterbury's court of common pleas remains the only tribunal of its kind in the state, that is. with unlimited Jurisdiction in all civil matters, as the result of action taken yesterday in Hartford by the legislature. Bills which would have granted the common pleas court in New Haven unlimited jur- isdiction In civil matters were voted down unanimously. The bills were designed after the one which was passed years ago creating the To- cal court of common pleas.
 Tn the local court civil matters may be handled that in other cit. les must be filed in the superior court. In other words, the local common pleas court Is. in reality. a superior court as far as civil juris- diction is concerned. Persons can file suit for $1O,0O0 or $25,JOO damages in the common pleas court if they wish to. They can even ask for higher damages! In the New Haven common please court as well as in the common pleas courts in. other parts of the state this Is not possible.
 Limits and Cases
 The Jurisdiction of the New Ha- ven common pleas court. for in- stance, is up to claims for $2,000 damages. All claims involving amounts. larger than $2,000 must go to the superior court. This is substantially the case in all other common pleas courts of Connecti- cut.
 The judiciary committee frown- ed upo nthe bills raising the civil Jurisdiction of the New Haven common pleas court. In reporting the bill unfavorably. the commit tee took the stand that $2,OO0 jur- isdiction was sufficient for the court.
 Of course the local common pleas court Is limited as to juris- .diction in criminalscases.

Veterans Preference Statute. Senate Bill 50 broadens the present statute under which veterans may not be dismissed from subordinate State posi- tions, without hearing and for cause. In view of the seriousness of the .unemploy- ment problem of the veterans, 1t is highly important that every post, camp or chapter ' commander who can possibly do so be present at the hear ing.
 Tt is to be assumed that the legislative committees from the various veterans orr ganizations will also be repre- sented and the measures are of sufficient importance to { warrant the. attendance of state commanders and other state officials ."

 The monkey did as he was told, still feeling pretty brave and bold. The other monkeys welcomed him. They knew what he had done. Soon Scouty said, "I have a thought that tickles me. think we ought to join the monkey owner on this trip where'er he's bound.
 Well walk, or maybe we can ride" "Tll choose the latter" Duncy sighed. And I just hope that. through the trip, some new place can be found"
 "IIl gladly let you go along. Hop on the cage. It's good and strong exclaimed the monkey owner. This trip you will not regret"
 "Of course you won't" the giant said. "Ill miss you all. but go ahead. You never will forget the good times we have had. I'll bet" Copyright, 1895. NEA Service, Inc.

Trenton, N. j., Tuesday evening,
January 9th, one of the Jewish
fraternal organizations, Birth Sho-
lon, composed mainly of middle
class business men and professional
people, Leo Wolfson, member of
numerous and prominent Jewish

of the Jewish masses in Europe and
the growing menace of anti-Semii-
ism in this country.
Not one word was said of the
causes that lead to racial hatred
and mass persecution by this man
who is supposed to have the in
terests of minority races at heart.
Then, one of the main lights of
Jewish masonry, Joseph Fishberg,
called attention to the articles by
John Spivak in the New Masses. He
urged the members of the organi-
