in the ninth.
In the nightcap, Big Jim Weaver
held the New Workers to three
hits. FitzsimmonS went five in
nings for the Giants without allow
ing a hit when he weakened and
the Pirates counted four times on

No Leap Year Partners
 For Brass City Wido1Us

Undaunted, undismayed and still confident that his mission would succeed despite the cold- ness of Wsterbury's reception, Rev. Edward Bells today resolutely turned his eyes toward newer and greener pastures - places where the cold shoulder would not be given to nls Brother and Sister Band of the Widowed, the organization that he founded to bring joy and happiness into the lives of many.
 It was even more than a cold shoulder that Waterbury gave Rev. MT. Bells and his Brother and Sister Band of tho Widowed, 1t was the acme of insults, the qnln- tescence of indlgnlty; 1t was the peak of insolence. In short, it was an outrage.
 Last night, the national founder of the Brother and Sister Band of the Widowed had arranged . meeting to be held at the Central "" for the formation of Q Water. bury chapter. But, horror Of h0r. TOTS, no one showed up for the meeting; no one, not even some. one who wasn't Q widow or . wld. Ower. No, not even A curious small boy. Rev. MT. Eell's cup of bitter ness must have been filled Co the brlm as he sat in tho meeting room, waiting for recruits Co ar- rive. It must have seemed like . plot, . scheme evolved by inter. csts which oppose Che lofty prln- clples (whatever they are) of the Brother and Sister Band of the Widowed. Why, only evil machln. atlonS on the part of someone could have arranged it so that no one went to Che metelng. Why even if one showed up, he could have elected himself president. And # two appeared, why there was the nucleus of . strong, pow crful organization. But, alas, two did not come, nor did one--and 1t was with Q heavy heart that the Rev. Mir. Bells left the room.
 Here it Is even Leap Year and Wsterbury's widowed failed to heed the call of Rev. MT. Bells. Who knows what fun they might

have had together, what pranks they could play on each other. And games at every meeting games that all could join In and cavort with childish abandon. And the tafHy.pulllng contests, and the popcorn rOasts, and perhaps even . daring game of euchre. How they would have waited eagerly for meeting night to come, with what delightful anticipation they'd roll over in their minds the glOrl- Ous possibilities of every gather. ing. And, who knows, might not romance have invaded the meet- ing hall, might not one of the brothers and one of the sisters re. allze that they saw eye.to.eye, that their destlnles were linked together, that love had come again?
 An, but hopes for all that are gone now, for Waterbury failed to give its support to Q movement that cannot help but sweep the nation. And In days to come when Waterbury's widowed realize how much they missed by ignoring the clarion call sounded by Rev. Mir. Eells, then they cannot help but weep bitter tears of regret
 Btu MT. Bells Is carrying on. What, after all, is one setback7 The founder of the Brother and Sister Band of the Widowed was not seen about the "" today.

 But charity is one of the great attributes of the Brother and Sis- ter Band of the Widowed, and, perhaps, some day Rev. MT Bells will forgive all and return here to try again to SOW the seed It may be that by then Waterbury will have seen the light.

' Analyzing . drop of water to de- termine whether or not it contains disease-carrying bacteria in the state laboratories Is Q much more dinacult task than one would inag- inc, according to Friend Lee Mickle, director of the Bureau of Labora- tories of the State Department of Health, in the departments week. 1y broadcast today,
 During the recent flood situation, many people got the idea that countless hordes of bacteria capable of causing disease were lying in wait among the dirt and debris left behind by the receding waters and that it is necessary only to look at . drop of polluted water through . microscope to reveal typhoid fe- yer bacteria hiding there to elude the searching gaze of the iabora- tory d-lnar, MT.

Impressive tribute to Rev. Arthul F. Lewis, grand master of Masons |, Connecticut, was paid last night bS 200 Masons at St. Michael's Epis- copal church parish house with Masonic officials from many parts of the state attending.
 Desire to serve and love for his fellow-maI1 have caused Rev. Lewis to k 50 active in Masonry, Right Worshipful Carl II. Claudy, execu- tive secretary of the Masonic serv- ice association of Washington, D. O., and principal speaker, told the assemblage.
 Although some speakers pointed out that the state society has honor- ed Rev. Lewis by making him it's head, MT. Claudy asked: "When the supreme grand master has called Q man to his great service, is there anything a body of men can do 10 add to that great service2
 If a man does any work, he must have perfect tcols, mental and physical. Brother Lewis has such perfect tools. His tools are his ex- perience in his life of Masonry and . sympathetic heart, which . life of service to his people has given him.

 "The reason the bacteriologlst searches in the water sample for harmless bacteria rather than for those that cause disease is that this colon group is always present in wa- ter polluted with sewage, whereas disease germs are present only ins termittently and in too small nuI1- bers to be readily found. When in- testinal bacteria are found in a wa- ter sample the water must be claSs- cd as unsafe because if these harnl- less germs have reached the water, other disease-producing type may have come along with them from the same place.
 DI6icuIt Task
 "A further uimculCy now makes the task of the analyst still more hard. Many times he Is unable, even with his most delicate tests, to dIs- tinguish between colon bacteria of intestinal origin and those from other sources. For this reason, he must have the additional evidence furnished by a chemcial examination because that alone will show the presence or the absence of Sub- stances known to be in sewage but either absent from safe drinking wa- ter or there is extremely minute amounts. The presence of these sub- stances in drinking water accom- panied by bacteria of the pollution. indicating colon group lead to but one conclusion--the wates IS unsafe for drinking purposes. Conversely, when a water is found free of these bacteria and of abnormal chemical constituents 1t can be classified In but one category-safe."
