Waterbury will become air-mail
minded I'M a big way, II Postmaster
Charles A. Babin has his way. The
postmaster this morning announ-
ced the opening of a vigorous pub
licity campaign which will have
as its purpose a wider use OF the
governments air mail facilities by
business firms and by private indi-
viduals.
Postmaster Babin has asked the
cooperation of The Waterbury

was unable to appear because of
rain will entertain at the Cooke
street playground tonight. The
concert will be held in front of
the pavilion at 1880 o'clock and
will last until 9 p. m. AS was an
nounced previously this is the first
concert the band, has given at the
Fairgrounds this summer and II
it proves successful it is more than
likely that the servicesof this
group will be required very often
as source of entertainment.
The band which has been or
ganized for over a year has given
a number of concerts since its
origin and has proved to be more
than a success. A large gathering
is expected to attend the initial
playground concert tonight at

Town Seeks Public
Bathing Facilities
Community Council and American Legion After Park
Department to Take Some Action
WATERVILLE

The hot weather of the past few
days has emphasized more strongly
than ever the need for some sort
OF supervised public bathing facili-
ties I'M Waterville. The Waterville
Community council and the local
post of the American Legion have
been trying to persuade the park
department to provide something to
meet the situation but have been
informed that the park department
lacks jurisdiction over the most de-
sirable properties. A pool on the
Waterville green proper which is
a city park would be most mad
visable. The property to the north
of Boyden street on which the
athletic field is located is privately
owned. This Is true also of the area
in which is located the ideal place
for local, bathing pool-the small
pond through which Hancock brook
flows from the Graystone gorge.
The pond, i'm made available to the
city, could be developed into an

COMPLETING JUMP
Captain Oscar LaValley
Suffers Minor Hurts Due
to Raging Winds

Captain Oscar Lavalley, whose
death defying 104-foot dive into
a flaming tank of water, was slight
+ burned in accomplishing his
spectacular feat before h o m e
towners last night with the Cole
man Brothers carnival at the Golf
Lots, when after illuminating his
apparel stood on the high ladder
for approximately four minutes
until the wind changed its direc-
ton to make the jump possible.
The large appreciative audience
stood amazed as they gazed up
wards wondering what had hap
pened to the alleged intrepid per-
former. Few realized the danger
lurking after Captain LaValley had
put himself in flames and he him
self in his dressing room after
wards said it was the worst feeling
no has experienced in his many
years of trouping. The burns he
suffered were quickly attended to
and were not serious although an
other half minute and he would
be unable to perform for quite
some time. However he intends to
dive again tonight for the benefit
of 200 or more Democrat news
boys who will be guests of Dick

Washington, July 11.-Congress-
man Joseph Smith of the Fifth
district of Connecticut has an
swered several inquiries concern
ing legislation recently signed by
President Roosevelt which pro-
vides for the short procedure OF
of alien veterans OF
the World war, the time for filing
for these special privileges having
been extended until May rs, 1887.
The. Congress has pointed out
that this legislation in which he

Jurisdiction Of naturalization mat
ters and that after 80 days the
final hearing on such a petition

the result of an accident yesterday,

The machinery of the new works
progress administration began to
function in waterbury today as the
state employment office, under the
supervision of Arthur j. Collins,
made preparations for the registra-
ton Of more than $4,000 persons
listed as employable in this city
and vicinity on the relief rolls for
the month Of May.
Mr.. Collins attended a meeting
OF state employment office man

others. The office also maintains d

ideal bathing place for young and
old at very little expenditure of
either labor or money.
1t is realized, of course, that the
operation of such a pool would
require full time supervision by a
qualified life guard to protect those
who might use it-particularly the
children. 1t is claimed that the park
department has no budgeted appro-
priation for such an activity dur
ing the current year-even If funds
could be found for preparing a
place.
The Paramount Community has
secured small pond on the prop
erty of the contractor who owns
the sand and gravel bank off of
Huntingdon avenue. This, however,
is for the exclusive use of Fair
mount children.
1t is hoped that something can
be done in the near future to OBJ
tain some sort of public bathing
facilities for the Waterville Sec
ton of the city.

FESTIVAL NEARS
Fifteen Hundred Negro
Voices to Be Heard in
Gala Chorus July 20

One of the most electrifying
features of the Summer Music
Festival which is being sponsored
by the New York Evening Journal
in cooperation with newspapers
in the metropolitan area, will be
Hall Johnson's Negro Spiritual
Choir of fifteen hundred voices.
This is the largest Negro chorus
ever organized in America and the
presentation of it's numbers is. be-
ing eagerly awaited by music low
ers who will throng the Polo
Grounds on the night Of July Goth.
Every event on program stud
ded with star numbers eclipses
anything in size and novelty of
presentation ever attempted in the
east. There will be Festival
Chorus of fifteen hundred voices,
Festival Music director, and ac-
companied by Mr.. Barnhart's
eighty piece Festival band. An
other of the unusual attractions
will be an accordion band of four
hundred pieces, led by the noted
accordionist, F. Paul Billotti, this
band developed through the aid of
the Rudolph Wurlitzer Music
company. Clyde Doerr, eminent
saxophonist, will also lead a saxo-
phone band of two hundred pieces.
Then, in keeping with the magni-
tude of the whole program, sixteen
hundred members of the massed
Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps will
put on stirring rendition of num-
bers and a spectacular marching
display. The amateur bands, senior
and junior, comprise in themselves
more than five hundred members.
In addition, the winning soloists
in each group will offer vivid
contrast, their voices being carried
to the furthermost reaches Of the
Polo Grounds via a perfected
sound system.

CENTRAL YC CAMP
Truck Made Several Trips
From WATERFOWL to Ac-
COmmOdate Visitors

Today was a red letter day in
the summer program of the Boys
Department of the Central YMCA
as seventy-two boy members visited

be long remembered by every boy.
The Camp truck made many trips
between the Boys Department. and
Smiths Pond in WATERFOWL, in or
der to transport the boys to their
place of fun. These boys who are
less fortunate than their friends
who are actually campers at this Y
Camp, due to the fact that they
will have to return home when the
days activities are ended, never
theless enjoyed every minute of the
reception and program ready for
them at Smiths pond.
The staff of counsellors and sew
eral of the Senior campers greet
ed the boys when they arrived at
camp and made them thoroughly
at home. After a tour of inspec-
ton, during which these boys who
are in the city for the summer were
able to see tent life and meet many
of their buddies who are in camp,
full program of camp activities
was entered into. This includued
swimming, boating, baseball, Wis
