 prOpriated-263 Registered in Night Classes

: Faced with the possibility of one or more "payless paydays due to the exhaustion of funds during the coming week, teachers on the WPA educational projects in Waterbury volunteered to serve without com pensation today until such time as a grant was made by the federal government.
 Funds for the continuance of the WPA program are available only until November IS, unless the na- tioral administration approves the prOject in the meantime. More tbAn 40 persons are employed on :ne projects here, under the gen. eral supervision of Dr. Thomas J Condon, superintendent of schools.
 Dr. Condon said he had received no assurance from state headquar- ters of the WPA that funds would be granted, but pointed out that the necessary approval might be forthcoming at any time. "Pro- jects are often approved within 24 hours" Dr. Condon said. He ex- pressed himself as being highly pleased with the action of the local faculty in donating their services in order that the program might be continued uninterrupted.
 Operated On Surplus
 Up to the present time, the pro- jects have been operated on a sur- plus carried over from last years ERA appropriation. Although thi: money will be exhausted by Satur. day, Governor Cross has persuaded the national relief administration t( grant an additional fund to carry the program in the state through until November IS.
 Acting in the absence from thu city of Arthur L. Purinton, direc. tor of Mattatuck college, Walder TrimbIe, member of the faculty in. formed the teachers this morning of the situation. All but four o1 the faculty, who could not be reached, have signified their will lingness to serve without pay, MT Trimble said. It is expected that the remaining four will also volun- teer.
 In Waterbury, the educational program of the WPA is in two dis tinct parts. Under the supervision of Arthur Purinton, a federal co1- lege is in operation at the Y. M. C. A. Adult education courses are also in progress in the evening under the direction of Miss Edna Harmon assistant educational executive. for the WPA in this city.
 AS an adjunct to the federal col- lege plan, night extension courses are also held at Crosby high school employing the same faculty which is engaged in the college and em- bodying practically identical class es. The night courses, however, vary from the day school in that no attempt is made to build college credits.

 of Gun

Tn the first crime of its kind in the city in a considerable length ot time, two hold-up men, one of them armed, last night robbed Joseph Torsari, owner of @ grocery store at 68 sylvan avenue, of $45. Police to- day had found no trace of the two robbers, both of them young men. One of the two brandished 8 nickle- plated revolver.
 The two men entered the store when no customers, were there. One of them pointed 8 gun at Torsani and told him to keep quiet, while the other went to the cash register and rifled it of its contents.
 A few minutes after the crime, Torsani notified police, and Detec- tive Joseph Bender went to the scene. Torsani could give only par tial descriptions of the two hold-up men.
 The city has been almost entirely free of robberies since last Fall, when an epidemic of hold-ups and highway robberies took place.
