A workman was painfully burned, and 40 others employed nearby were fortunate to escape injury when a hydrogen tank ex- ploded at the Benrus Mfg. Co. plant on Cherry avenue this after noon. The cause of the igniting of the gas, which was escaping from a cylinder, had not been decided by Fire Marshal Den Lahey. The jewelry department of the plant was flooded with water when a sprinkling system went into opera ton after the intense heat of the cylinder flare.
 Mitchell Fried, 22, of 192 Lin coin street, was the victim of the burns. He suffered burns about the back of the body and head; his ears were scorched and his head singed.. He Is not believed to be in any danger. After the fiare-up, Fried was treated at the emergency room of the Waterbury Clock Co.,, across the street.
 Marshal I.ahey's Statement
 Marshal Lahey said that a sol dering furnace was located in the jewelry room and that Fried was tending 1t. The cap of a hydrogen cylinder became stuck and the worker endeavored to loosen it with a wrench. As he did, there was hiss, followed by the blind- ing flash ass the gas ignited. It is not known whether the hydrogen ig--ited from a spark caused by the wrench being applied to the cap, or by the gas burners near by.
 Forty persons working in the same room were uninjured. The fire was quickly checked by fire ment directed by Acting Deputy Martin Campion. Answering the alarm were Engines Companies l and 10 and Truck Go. g..

about your personal problems in this
column daily. Write your letter now!
Dear Jane Jordan: I have
daughter of 10 who has never
been allowed to have dates until
this year because she always takes
advantage of the situation. Her
father and I have been severely
criticized for being so strict on
this subject, but what is a mother
to do when her daughter is given
permission to go TO the show and
she goes to a beer joint instead?
You have given such good advice
to so many people through your
column that I am sure YOU can
help me.

Answer: The pity of it is that the
stricter your rules and regulations
the harder your daughter will try
to break them. At 16 a girl feels
that she is no longer a child and
