Former Brooklyn Boy Dies In Elm
 City-Buried Here
BY THE OUT EASTER

John r. Fitzgerald. who was buried Monday, after death which occurred in Q New Haven hospital, was Q Brooklyn boy. Out East knew him years ago when he came over the Bridge to visit sels atives out this way.
 Jack waS the kind of an indlvid. ual who did his own thinking. For years, or ever since his school days over in the Brooklyn district, he had been . brass worker. and was thoroughly trained in this particular line of work. The top. les and questions of the day he studied deeply, and formed an opinion, based upon his own rea- soning, and the viewpoint of those more learned than himself. Moth. ing slipped him in the old days, In this respect.
 Thorough, but not chased Q real expert in his line, he was one os the most Independent factory workers of the city. He knew what he had to do, and did 1t willingly and faithfully. But he knew his rights, and those of his fellow workers, and when the oc' casion required, fought for them, regardless of results.
 John r. Fitzgerald was the son of one of Brooklyn's best citiSefs, James Fitzgerald, who with many other Irishimen of the day, was employed in Brown Brothers. later the plant of Randolph & Cloves. The family first lived In Town Plot, and later in South Leonard street. This was the time when Brooklyn had such families as the Dunphys, the BegnaB, the Ken. nedys, the 0uilfoiles, the Hutch" insons, the Mitcheb, the 0arveys, the shannahans, the Murphys, and others. And it was at . time, too, when Brooklyn and Town Plot residents were made up mostly of fine old Irish and Ger man families. They mixed we'll and the neighborly spirit pre- vailed at ell times. It was these 16xNlIl9B WtsV WvsV SsssSss0 eess sponsors of the present St. Pat- rlcks parish. They were all rep. resented at the opening Of the main church just after 1900 when the late and beloved Cardinal Gibbons was here for the cermor- les incident to the occasion.
 Brooklyn has changed greatly since the old days, but the new. corners are in keeping with the. old spirit and good tellowship still prevails among all of the res idents of today just as 1t did witn the people of years ago, most ot whom are now dead and gone, put whose memory still fingers in the minds of ninny.
 The various Fitzgerald families were all good and true people, Just ike their next door neighbors.
 John Fitzgerald had not been in Waterbury in many years. Xet when he died his body was brought here by dear brothers and sisters to be buried in the city o1 his birth.

Life Ends at Forty!. Yes? No?What DoYou Think?

THE other day potential employe beyond the ! age of forty in an interview with the WATERBURY DEMOCRAT declared after securing the city for work he had come to the conclusion that Life for the Factory Worker ended at 40.
 Today John lk Goss, vice-president of the Connecticut Manufacturers Association refutes that statement and says during the past year the average age of help hired has been A years THE question of when and how long man \ should work is an intricate one generally de- pendent, for the most part, upon the financial condition of each individual worker. Some may be able to quit at forty-very few, while others have to remain in the harness until they drop, if they would eat clothe themselves and secure shelter.
 Therefore, the WATERBURY DEMOCRAT believes there should be no line of demarkation in the hiring of labor as respects age provided man is able to do a days work. In many in- stances man past forty is only in his prime and far excels those under the age of 40.
 HOWEVER, it is question which employer III and employe will have to decide for them- selves. True, the new social security law will lift some of the load in the flag end of life, but there is long, long stretch between 40 and 65 and man must work that stretch to take care of the years beyond 65.
 So rather than decide this question or take any definite side on it the WATERBURY DEM OCRAT asks it's readers to write down their re- actions to the question, Does Life for the Worker End, or Does It Not End at Forty 2" and send them into the editor of the WATERBURY DEMOCRAT, where they will be printed.
