talk on the need Of sincerity

Weather May Ban Nudists
Although police intend to arrest
for punishment. anybody found
bathing in the nude at the new
dam, no arrests have been made
yet and IL the nights continue chill
ly as they have bene lately, the
problem may solve itself.
There is no doubt that some
have been bathing with their skins
as their bathing suits there lately.
But with police on the wach, 1t
is believed that many will not
now take the chance of getting
caught and receiving punishment
and prominent publicity. Those
who haG been sporting la Mother
Nature, had done SO about 10 o..
clock at night. according to reports.
Chief Adamson yesterday re-
iterated his intention Of arresting
anybody caught there, but it ID
possible the weather may help to
stop the nude bathing practice.
FERA Session To-day
An explanation of just what
changes the local FERA will sub.
nit to when the Works Progress

some time before 1t replaces the
FERA in Naugatuck, 1t was
learned. C. E. Bloom, regional
engineer for the. FERA, will be at
the meeting to-day and answer
questions of the board members. It

To Meet Tuesday
A large number of residents of
Cherry street are expected to at
tend the meeting tomorrow night
for residents of that street, which
will be held in the borough court
room at o'clock. The purpose of
the meeting is to discuss with the
street committee Of the board of
warden and burgesses the matter
of repairing sidewalks on Cherry
street.
The session was called yesterday
by Burgess Leo Brophy, chair
man of the committe who has
been working hard since petition
from Cherry street residents asking
walk repairs be made was submit
ted at the last meeting of the Dor.
ough board.
Almost all the residents of
Cherry street signed this petition.
some of the largest property own
ers there doing so. There Is g..
900 feet Of walk on each side X
the entire street Is don, making
5000 in all. This would be a
very big job, Mr.. Brophy said, but
he has talked things over with
FERA and WPA officials and be.
lieves 1t could be done as a WPA
job with the WPA paying for the
work, and the town paying for
materials and later assessing cost
OF materials on the owners of the
Ian dwhere the sidewalks were re.
paired.
However, 1t is necessary for the
owners to decide on a plan. This
will be done at the meeting Tues
day. Sidewalks on this street
have been in bad shape for some
time. andt his is particularly no.
ticeable in winter time.
1t is hoped some action may be
taken before next winter comes, SO
that the walks may be in better
shape.
