Tn the ii1- terim he attended Grand Central School of Art and worked in con- nection with dramatics during the summers.

POLICE PISTOL MEET ARRANGED
Waterbury Not to Be Rep- resented in Meriden
 Competition

Lacking a team, the Waterbury police department will not be rep- resented in the second annual state pistol competition in Meriden Sep- tember 24, although 1t has been for maily invited to participate. Many of the boys are good shots, some may even be said to qualify as ex- perts, but they just haven't organ tzed, member of the force explained.
 When the new police school for which plans were outlined several months ago by Superintendent Will liam J. Mclean, actually gets under way, target practice is expected to be Q part of the curriculum and a team of the departments best shots will undoubtedly be organized. Un- til then, such invitations as that extended by Chief of Police Michael B. Carroll of Meriden, will be re- gretfully declined.
 This year, in addition to teams from police departments in all sec tions of Connecticut, teams have been entered from New Jersey and New York. There will be closed shoot limited to members of Con- necticut police departments for the trophy donated by a Hartford puo- lication, and an open shoot for all police teams. Several inter-city matches have been planned also.

 By Atty Gaffney

Judge Slavin has served in probate court for a num- Der of years.
 The judges name was placed in nomination by Attorney John L.. Gaffney, close friend of Judge Sla- win as one who is flair to all," Att torney Gaffney declared 1t unfor- tunate that probate judgeships should fall in the realm of party politics.

 MT. Gaffney's speech of nomina- ton follows:
 I have known the present in- cumbent of the office of Probate Judge for well over forty years and have always known him to be a mans man. Clean living, clear thinking, wholesome, gen. ial disposition are his with world of personality.
 It is but little wonder that he has found form in his public life

Slavin Renominated Today
 For Judge Of Probate Court
District Delegates Hear Splendid EuIogy of Non1i-
 nee at Convention

a review of the Supreme Court Reports will give ample proof that this august body gives solemn ap- proval to the decisions of the lo- cal Probate Court.
 Experienced Aides
 A word about the personnel of this court. Loyal, obliging and ef- ficient aids they are and the many tributes paid them by those who are obliged to invoke this agency attest far more to their skill than any mere words I might utter at this time. May they live long to become ever a stronger cog in the machinery of office routine which now operates with such precision.
 Unhappily, I contend, by force of legislative enactment, the office of Probate Judge must come with in the category of party politics. In the past, the voters of Water bury, of Wolcott and Middlebury, have cast aside all party interest to demand that an office so cap- ably handled by one who is fair to all is too valuable an asset to be lost in time of election.
 It is hoped in these days of @ confusion of ideas that the elec- torate will continue to be mind full of this fact and not be misled by State or National issues.
 Unanimous Support
 And so, MT. Chairman, I have the honor to formally notify you that this delegation has pledged itself to vote as unit for the un- animous support of the candidacy of the Honorable Dennis J. Slavin for the office of Judge of Pro- bate for the District of Water bury.
 Waterbury delegates attending the probate convention included
 First ward: James J. Fitzmau- rice. Morris Applebaum, Margaret L. Bowes, Henry Miniccuci; second ward, Atty. Walter E. Monagan, ST., Atty. John L. Gaffney and John Colioty; third ward, Atty. Frank T. Healey, Rose A. Clarkin, Michael c. Murphy; fourth ward, Matthew T. Phelan, Philip A. Kelly, John T, Shannahan, Charles Potikas; fifth ward, Daniel P. Bowes, Nellie Mur- phy. Joseph J.

 Drive Goes On
 The decision in New Haven city court, according to an announce ment by the state department of motor vehicles, will not affect the drive to close the automobile busi- ness on Sundays. Department ofii- cials said they were not primarily concerned with police action, all though they have sought police sup port. The department has authority to suspend the license of a dealer who does business on Sunday or 8 repair man who does other than emergency work.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach said that the department of motor vehicles has appealed to local police for support of its regulation. He said a letter from Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor asked that If evidence does not war rant presenting the offender in city court will you kindly supply the de- partment with his name so that he may be summoned for 6 hearing in Hartford" The superintendent added that no violations of the rule had as yet been reported to police in Waterbury.
 Exceptions
 The commissioner regulations re- garding repairmen were these: "Re- pair shops must be closed except for emergency repairs. Wreckers or two cars shall be operated in connection with accidents only"
 Repairmen hold that the terms of the regulation are somewhat ann biguous. The motor vehicle. depart ment does not define emergency repairs" but has ruled explicitly that a car which has not been in collision but which has developed a faulty motor may be lowed to a garage for repairs.
 Sales Agencies
 In regard to sales rooms the reg ulations are: Sales rooms must be positively closed. Sales lots must be kept free from dealers. Demonstra- ton of motor vehicles must not be made under any consideration. The use of (dealers' and repairers) plates must be limited to personal use or legal loan as defined in Sec- ton 1866 of the General Statutes"
