High Stadium with the team
trophy and championship after
o'clock last night.
They had been on hand since
10 a. m, some earlier than that,
but the meet was held up for al
most two hours, waiting for the
District Commissioners who failed
to appear to review the parade of
Fairgrounds. The parade was
held anyhow and then started the
parade of boys up to the starting
line.
Sherwood, coached by Joe
Mitchell, won the meet with SO 2-5
points but the result was in doubt
until the last event, a hundred

fteen Societies to Participate Polish Day Observance
MCCORMACK TO BE
 ACTING CHAIRMAN

Robert Mccormack has been SC. lected as acting democratic chair man of the 18th voting district.

 Plans for getting out the vote in the 18th district will be made at q gathering of party workers next week. At that, time workers will be assignled the streets on which they will work election day and other details for temporary district head quarters will be made.
 Mayor Frank Hayes, Controller Daniel J. Leary and Town Chair man John H. Crary are expected to attend the meeting and address the district workers.

Wage Scales To Be
 Set By Administrator
Hopkins Ruling Settles Labor Dispute-Revision of
 Working Schedules May Be Necessary

order to meet the expense of the increase in pay rates. WPA employ es, labor officials believe, will no doubt be given reduction in the hours of employment without cut ting the monthly pay.
 By this expedient, the objection can no longer be voiced that WPA wages are far lower than. prevail ing wage rates. The only restric- ton imposed on Daily is that he employs no worker more than eight hours day or 40 hours a week. He need not establish one working schedule for all of the state, but can reduce hours of em- ployment' in the various cities ac- cording to conditions that prevail. This means that Waterbury la bor groups will undoubtedly have a voice in the setting of the local wage rate. MT. Daly is empower ed to follow his own judgment completely and it is expected that labor leaders from each city will be consulted before wage scales are actually fixed.
 The state administrator is not empowered to increase the amount of pay a worker may receive in the month but he is in a position to boost the hourly rate by re- ducing the hours an employee must work in order to receive the monthly wage.

 Parade to Provide Public Feature of Event

Three decorated floats will fea- ture in the parade. One float will represent a Polish harvest, typical of Poiand's inland nativity and the keynote of her breathing pulse in rural sections. The second float will portray an immigrant family which, is the colorful semblance of America's development drama and an immortalizing scene in its pioneering history. The last float will carry two figures, the most dear and most notable in the re- vival and rebirth of Poland, in the impersonation of the late Marshal Joseph Pilsudski and ex-President Woodrow Wilson, in the presence of Misses America. and Poland.
 Fifteen Groups
 In the line of march will pass societies. From other towns and cities will be such representations as: Harcerstwo, a Juvenile depart ment of the Polish National Allia- ance of U. s. A., under the direc- tion of Commander K. Koprowski of Thomaston; the Veterans of Foreign Wars Fife, Bugle and Drum corps from Thomaston; the Polish Holy Name Fife, Bugle and Drum corps from Stamford; the Universal band from New Britain; the White Eagle Choir of Bridge port, renowned for it's appearances and singing throughout the east: the Polish Veterans of Foreign Wars from Union City; the Sey- mour Drum corps; and many out of-town organizations.
 A police escort will guide the parade throughout the city in two automobiles. Most of the minor organizations and societies will wear special overseas caps, where- as the general committee of the program will wear ribbon insignia and lapel buttons of the Polish home.
 According to 4. W. Jentoch, marshal of the parade, the fol- lowing order will be respected throughout the entire parade:

Summonses To Obtain
 Data For Enumerators E
Legal Action May Result in Event of Persons Refusing
 to Answer Census Queries-4O Workers

Hundreds of Waterburians who queries of a special staff of Mutual Aid workers engaged in taking a census of the city will eventually be compelled to give the required data, Robert F. Birt, supervisor of the work said to-day. MT. Birt said the city would issue summonses to all persons who had not answered the questionnaire, in order that the referendum might be completed December 1, the deadline set by the state.
 The census has been in progress for several weeks and has as it's objective the collection of statistics for use by the state in the distribu- tion of the old age pension fund, which takes effect next year. A specially appointed staff of workers from the Mutual Aid lists is making a house to house canvass on every street in the city and is averaging, MT. Birt said, approximately 1,400 registrations per day.
 Fewer RefusaIs
 Although rerusalS to answer the questions of the census takers are not so numerous now as they were during the first few days of the re- ferendum there are still ''quite 8 few" according to MT. Birt. People will save themselves both time and trouble by answering the queries when the census taker comes to the house, he said, inasmuch as nobody is exempt, and the summonses will certainly be isued to those who re- fuse to give the required data.
 The staff of workers now num- bering 40 will be augmented by the addition of at least 20 census talk CTS next week, MT. Birt said. AS was the case with the EZRA and sev- eral other departments of the Mu- tual Aid, the staff has been depleted during the past few weeks because of the increased opportunities for private employment. Several per- sons employed as census takers when the work began have return cd to jobs which they held pre- viously.
 Women "Silent" CD
 The feeling still persists, appar- ently, that the duestionnaire is un- necessary and that there is no ob- ligation to answer questions, ac- cording to MT. Birt. Women, he

Organized labor in Waterbury today hailed as signal victory the news that federal relief authorities had placed the responsibility for wage rates in each state directly in the hands of state administra- tors. It is a foregone conclusion that the prevailing, or union scale wages in each vicinity will be maintained, this ending a dispute etween labor and relief officials which at one time threatened to seriously impede the WPA pro- gram.
 Under the order issued by Fed eral Administrator Harry Hopkins, both wage rates and hours of em- ployment will be fixed by the state PWA Administrator Matthew A. Daly. It will probably be necessary to revise the working schedule in

School children have an cx- ira week now to get un to Settlers Village where they can find plenty of matcrail for future essays. School tcach- ears are taking advantage of the various foreign countries and spend many hours study. ing the books on display.
 It is estimated that the to- tai attendance at the village will have surpassed the 5O,- 900 mark before the exposi- ton closes in the fall. The attendance thus far has passed the 3O,000 mark.
 Earl Carroll always exhibit- cd the sign, "The most bcauti- full girls in the world pass through these portals" A similar sign could appropriate Iy be placed above the en- trance to Settlers Village, for some dazzling damsels have viewed the settlement. Some are real spellbinders!
 A stone tablo has been erected on the rostrum of the amphitheater. A compartment in the table awaits the install lation of the boy with import ant documents which will be placed therein during the de- dicatory ceremonies. The . Jewish people are planning a dedication program at this time.
 Some youngsters at the set clement this morning got a great kick out of playing with the stocks next to the Lean-to house. Unfamiliar with the proper procedure, the young sters put their heads in the holes where their feet should have been. The scene was in- deed funny and spectators en- joyed a heaI~.' laugh at the an- tics of the little ones.
 The Irish committee, head. cd by CorporatOrs Francis F. Gullfoile, James Phelan and Patrick F1ahcrty, is cOmniet- ing plans for Irish National Day, Sept. 20. Postmaster flames A. Farley will be the honorcd guest. It seems quite likely that the Irlsh-Ame jeans will have a big parade on their holiday. but no definite decision along these lines has as yet been reached by the committee.
 Charles T. Burke, letter. writer extraordinary, dropped in to inspect the village this morning and announced he thought 1t a marvellous expo- sition. MT. Burke was great iy interested in the photo- graphs of the former mayors of Waterbury. He could re- member when William E. Thoms was the city's chief executive, for it was in 1906 that MT. Burke came here to live.
