The flight will be made by Lithuanian aviator, Felix Waitkus of Kohler, Wisconsin, and who will be entertained in this city on Sat urday May 18th, about two weeks before he. takes off on the 4500 mile trip. Waitkus will be the third Lithuanian to attempt the flight, two others were forced down in Germany a year, ago, the plane was completely demolished and both were killed. This flight was also heavily sponsored by local people. Local aviation enthusiasts believe that the flight of this sum- mer will be successful and are eag- erly watching the progress made and arrangements as they are com pleted. It is believed that several local people will be present at Floyd Bennett Field when the av- iator takes off. os4
 All of the funds for the trip are available with the exception of the cost of the instruments and these are badly needed. The plane and motors are in the very best of con- dition and will be on exhibition at the field within the next few weeks. Plans are in, progress and negotiations will be made with Lieutenant Waitkus to bring the plane to field nearer to. this city for exhibitional purposes.
 It is expected that many persons from other parts of the state will attend the aviation ball tomorrow in an effort to help support the cause and in this way tighten the burden of the local people.
 The committee on arrangements for tomorrow's affair includes,

Injured Painter May
 R.,'c e.,c'celive $6, ,24O Award
Three Companies Named Defendants in Compensation
 Case of Frank FIamer- Memorandum Gives Ruling

Frank Flamer of 1ss EdgeMood avenue stands to receive $6,2A0 in a compensation, provided he 2 e. mains disabled for 62O weeks, acc cording to the terms of an award handed down today in the eompeny sation court by Commissioner James M. Lynch. The award is against three companies who are to determine among themselves how the sum Is to be paid. The three companies are the Connectt- cut Light & Power Co.,, the United Engineers & Constructors, Inc. OF Philadelphia and the Hartford Cement Co.
 The claimant is to be paid e12 weekly until his condition shall have diminished or ceased, but, in any event, not to exceed 520 weeks. rev-
 Ladder Defective
 Flamer was painting the asbes- tos covering on pipe at the south plant of the Connecticut Light & Power Co. last Jan. 21, when the top rung of the ladder on which hs was standing, broke, causing hint to drop about 2Ot feet. He was taken to the Waterbury hospital in an ambulance and though later discharged, is still disabled at his home.
 The lighting, company had awarded the repair job at it's south plant, to the United Engi- neers and Constructors and it sub- let the contract to the Hartford Cement Co. The Hartford m. pany in turn sublet a smaller part of the contract to Gilson Chambers who directly employed the claim ant in this case. Chambers only had four men working for hi 10 and therefore was not operating under the workn1ens compensa- tion act.
 Full Protection
 Under the law, the award states the claimant is entitled to m pensation from the principal em- ployers, the lighting company, the engineering company and the Hartford company. f
 In memorandum attached, to the award. Commissioner Lynch explains that the award runs against the three major employ CTS on the theory of affording the claimant all the protection possi- ble under the law.

Survey of EIigibles Nearly Completed Indicate Wide. spread Interest on Part of Ambitious Students;
 Results of TabnlatiOn to Be Announced Soon

The establishment of federal junior college for Waterbury prob- ably on somewhat different scale from those already in operation in New Haven and Bridgeport seems definitely assured on the basis of obtained yesterday at Crosby High. school where a survey taken among eligible students is rapidly sa1earing completion.
 ~..While authorities. explained that the fatSulafions are, still in pro- gress, it is believed that results will prove conclusively that unem- ployed youths in Waterbury and vicinity are definitely interested in continuing their education. Early results of the survey indicated that a great majority of the eligibles in the 1925 year age group would take advantage of the opportunity to further study.
 Survey Completed
 Establishment of the college here will of course, depend wholly upon sufficient interest being shown and the recruiting of sufficient num- Der ofpro spectivestud ents.
 The staff of clerks engaged in taking the survey yesterday com- pIeted the house-to-house canvass and all that remains to be done is the tabulation of results. It is ex- pected that this work will be com pleted during the coming week.
 Although there has been no formal announcement by state au- thorities on the new plan for the establishment of federal colleges it is. known that the program which has obtained up to the present time will be. revised, probably in order to permit students to earn money on part time EZRA pro- jects while studying.
 A recently submitted plan. la belled forum work project. of- fers program by which students would work during the afternoon and study mornings, being paid ap- proximately $500 weekly. This project is being given consideration by national and state relief author ities.
 The Waterbury survey has taken in several towns in the vicinity of the city and has given employ ment to staff of 14 persons as an EZRA white collar project since early last fall. It has been under the supervision of the state depart ment of education and is part or statewide EZRA .suEvey.

 c"He was in the place." contin- ued the judge, flor good many years, and made it a practice of leaving every year a couple Of months before the winter season. telling his friends that he wanted to reach New York in time to at tend divine services on Christ mas day. In those days Christ mas was not the great religious festival in New England that 1t is today, and the people were practically ignorant of the real meaning of the teaets of the Catholic faith. Rourke never tried to deny his religion, and 1t was a common thing for the farmers for miles around to gather at the house where he was mak- a pair of boots and hear him tell of the inhuman cruelties perpe- trated on his countrymen on &C., count of their faith, and in my opinion he was the first man that told the old settlers of this town the Catholic meaning of the word mass. After an absence of a few months he was sure to return and remain until the following Christmas, when he was off again. Finally he expressed a determination to revisit the scenes of his early boyhood and use his genius in defense of his native country, and that was tha last the townspeople ever heard of him."
