MAY WINE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

There's May flowers and May poles And May days quite fine; May parties and May feteS And then-there's May wine. Just what wine is in May We would not venture to say, For wine is wine any old month When mellowed to the right bouquet. But when they speak of May wine This Spring it means shade, It's not quite red, not quite rose And not color to fade. It comes somewhere in between A wine-ish tint divine; Most any time we'd call 1t red But right now it's May wine.

Bridges again

Bridges again Discussion of the Baldwin Street bridge in recent item dealing with the number that the River at this point recalls the fact that at one time Waerburys city fathers had to provide mon ey for and construct bridges four streams flowing through this city. . Not only had the Naugatuck and Mad rivers to be spanned, but also Great and Little Brooks. Anderson's history gives pretty good ac- when the city started to conne these two brooks to small channel cemented in most places where trav- el was necessary. Great Brook crossed at Grand and South Main streets by bridge which used late in the 18th century There was another on Meadow Street and still another East Main. The last was done away with in 1876 when the brook penned in by side walls and iron covering for roof Little Brook was brdged late 1870 Grove Street and undoubt edy earlier than that North Main Street near the foot e Cooke.

ADAMS APPEAL
 WILL BE HEARD
Superior Court Judge and Jury to Handle Case
 Tomorrow

The appeal of Clayton 0. Adams from a probate court decision by Judge Dennis J. Slavin allowing the admission of codicil to the will of the late Cora B. Adams will be heard in superior court tomorrow by Judge Frank P. McEvoy and a jury. The appeal is an attempt to set aside the codicil, which reduced a bequest to Clayton Adams from &50,000 to 425,00O.
 Drawn up Sept. 24, 1929, the will included a bequest of $50000 to Clayton o. Adams and one of $5,- 900 to clifford B. Loucks. The codi- ell, however, drawn up Aug. IS, 1882, cut the bequest to Adams to $25,- 900 and increased the amount left to Loucks to $3O,000.
 The law firm of Carmody and Thoms, representing Adams, con- tested the admission of the codicil in probate court, and held that the original will should stand. Attor- ney U. c. Church, appearing for the Cora Adams estate, opposed this claim.
 Judge Slavin, after a hearing, held that the codicil should be ad- mitted to probate and its provisions followed. The appeal to the superior court was then entered.
