Y WATER SPORT
 GOES OVER BIG
Diversified Program Inter- ests Boys; Many Learn
 Art of Swimming

YMCA boys of all ages are thronging the three branches daily with a diversified and interesting program of basketball, inter-club competition, and interesting water sports in the pool. One thousand four hundred boys use the three branches every week in their many clubs, for basketball leagues, soccer, soft ball, track and many kinds of group games. Water polo, swimming races, diving and life saving are the chief interests in the swimming pool, although the daily game of tag is enjoyed by every group using the pool. Big Chief Ed. Lazeski, head of the "" Boys department life savers, is in the pool every day with different classes learning to swim and improving their strokes.
 Scores of eager youngsters have learned to take care of themselves in the water this fall and winter. Beginners classes are conducted in the big pool at the Central building Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Div ing and advanced swimming is con- ducted Thursday at 4.
 In the Central building, grammar school basket ball is played regu- larly day after day. High school leagues are conducted for boys of various ages, six leagues in all oper- ating for youngsters of the three branches. One of the outstanding high school basketball teams is the Alpha lily, who are at present I leading the A league of older boys. The Comites have just entered a new team which is @ threat, and the Tri-Y has @ strong combina- ton.
 Saturday morning finds between ike and six hundred boys using the Central Y gym and swimming pool with games and classes start ing at 8:2O in the morning and continuing without a moments break uutil 2:30 in the afternoon. Indians, boys 8 to Il years of age, swam the Y gym floor and pool Thursday afternoons at { and Sat- urday mornings at 9:30 for inter- tribe games, races and all kinds of interesting club competition, as one tribe tries to outdo the other.
 Any boy or group of boys ip the city interested in using the big Y gym, bringing his street gang or his club, or Sunday school classes de- string to organize, should get in touch with Bill Briggs or Cal Mar tin to talk about jjoining a club or starting a club. Boys 8 to Il who are anxious to join the Indians may do so Thursday afternoon as a guest at 1 o'clock, or Saturday morning at 9:30. Boys who feel that they can't afford "" membership should talk with the boys secre- taries at once.

ACCUSED DRIVER
 WINS DISCHARGE
Court Not Satisfied as to Mans Guilt on Three
 Glasses of Beer

Arraigned on Q charge of operat- ing under the influence of liquor, Leo Keefe, 31, Bucks Hill, was dis charged by Judge Edward Mascolo in city court today. Keefe was the driver of car which crashed into the fountain in North Square sev- eral weeks ago.
 Judge Mascolo said the testimony of witnesses called by the defense to the effect that Keefe had had only three glasses of beer all dur ing the afternoon and evening of the night of the accident had raised some doubt in his mind as to the mans guilt. At previous hearings police had testified that Keefe was under the influence of liquor when arrested.
 The case of Joseph Ferretto, of VI Phoenix avenue, arrested last night by Traffic Patrolman Richard Mccarthy on Q breach of pecss charge, was nolled. Michael Gau- dino, 31, of 17 Martin street, was granted a continuance of two months on breach of peace charge.
 The case of Frank x. Egan, 45, os 160 Fairlawn avenue, charged wlth violation of the city plumbing ordinance, was nolled.

Merchants To Benefit By Passage of Bonus
 Act, Survey Indicates
Legislators Leaders of Ex-Servcemen to Urge Thrift Connecticut Has 44,O43 Veterans Possessing
 Adjusted Compensation Certificates

veterans have already borrowed one half of the money coming to them in bonus money and have used thu cash to pay bills and "carry on" in general, the government Is urging the recipients of the new "baby bonds" that will be issued to finance the final payment of the bonus to keep them as long as possible as Q thrift measure. The bonds will pay three per cent interest. '.
 Merchants to Benefit
 However, it is an agreed fact that thousands of Connecticut veterans will casht in the bonds quickly. This means that a large amount cf money will be put into circula- ton. In other words. the buying power of between 4,500 and 5000 veterans in Waterbury, alone, will be increased and merchants and other husiness houses will benefit approximately.
 Leaders of the American Legion and the Disabled American Veter- ans and other organizations here are preparing to follow the advice of the legislators in Washington, D. C., and urge veterans to delay cashing the "baby bonds" as long as possible.
 Based on previous experience when one-half loans were made On adjusted compensation certificates, 1t is estimated that for each $l spent by veterans on clothiNg for themselves they will expend:
 $l2.09 for payments of debts and cid bills.
 $5.03 for construction of new homes or repair of present ones.
 $4.42 for buying new homes.
 $2.49 for automobiles, trucks and accessories. ~
 $2.59 for investment on own busi- ness.
 $2.2e for furniture and house furnishings. G&
 sl.7l for clothing for wife and children. .
 $l.55 for miscellaneous items.
 $1.53 for savings.
 $1.30 for insurance.
 s5 cents for farm implements.
 76 cents for mechanical home equipment.
 42 cents for purchase of stocks and bonds.
 14 cents for education.
