FINES IMPOSED ON FIGHT PRINCIPALS
Argument in Dance Halls Made in Police Court
 Today

A quarrel which began at a dance hall in Wolcott and was continued early yesterday morning on Bald- win street resulted in fines for two of the alleged principals charged before Judge Edward Mascolo in city court today with breach of peace. Those fined were Michael Syrotchen, 43, of 308 Baldwin street, and Thomas Carey. 25, of 14o South Main street. Syrotchen was assessed $3O and costs with $25 of the fine remitted and Carey $15 with $1O of the fine remitted.
 Two other men also charged with breach of peace were discharged. They were Robert Carroll, 25, of 633 South Main street and Robert Beaudry, %, of A East Liberty street.
 According to testimony of the four accused, the trouble began in Wolcott where Syrotchen, 8 widow CT, had gone to 8 dance with a Mrs, Brown, who keeps house for him at the Baldwin street address. Syrotchen said he had an argument with Beaudry and Carey there and that in the car going home, 1t was resumed. Carol, driver of the car, said he had tried to act as peacemaker, but to no avail. When they reached Syrotchen's home the quarrel broke out again and Patrolman George Flavin and John Cronin arrested the four. A knife which was pre- sented as evidence in courtJ was used by Syrotchen only to scare away" his assailants he said. His face was lacerated and one eyo was blackened.

 Supervision

A campaign to cover every boy fin Waterbury is being set up by the Boys Department of the Y. M. O. A. in an effort to inform Waterbury boys of the unusual opportunities offered in summer memberships, and of the many activities which tempt a boy to spend his whole day at the "Y". Schools are being in- vited to come to the "" for free swims, and pamphlets are being given out, describing the many pro- gram opportunities.
 Last year hundreds of boys flock ed to the "" as soon as the warm weather began. The swimming pool was a veritable beehive with class after class all day long from eight year-olds up, learning every stroke from the dog-paddle to Red Cross life-saving. The roof was swarming with sun bathers.
 The beginners swim plays an im- portant part in the Boys Depart ment swimming program. During the summer months, special empha- sis is laid on this phase of swim ming. Each year hundreds of boys learn to swim. Capable adult Red Cross life-savers give the boys per- sonal attention. The most advanced methods of teaching are used and the average boy can usually learn to swim in a weeks time. Every possible provision is made for the safety of these boys while they are in the water.
 Each day informal games will be run in the big spacious cool "" gym during the summer months. Indoor baseball will be played and some of the clubs are planning to ru nan indoor baseball league. The boys can practice up for fall sports with touch football. A net can be strung across the floor and the gym makes an ideal tennis court. Soccer baseball is something new which the boys have taken to in 8 big way.
 once each week the boys will visit such places as the Waterville caves and Greystone trail to have their hot dog roasts. The boys hike both to and from these picnic grounds. They build their own fires and roast their own hot dogs. They explore the caves and play informal games.

Behind The Lines M With The Buddies

through 8 mixup in the interpre- tation of an army order were given "blue discharges" instead of honorable discharges will become eligible for the benefits of the short term citizenship law if a bill now pending in congress is passed.
 "Blue discharges" are neither honorable or dishonorable and at one time were issued to alien vet- erans but on April 28, 1919, cir- cular was issued by the war de- partment which rescinded a pre- vious order relative to the issuing of such "blue discharges"
 Several Syrian veterans, resi- dents of the fifth district in Con- necticut, who served in the armed forces of the United States and who were given "blue discharges" communicated with Congressman J. Joseph Smith concerning this situation. At their request, the congressman appeared at the house committee hearing request ing favorable action be taken on the bill. The American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American coalition as well as the Disabled American Veterans through their representatives also urged favorable action on this bill.
 It was explained at the commit tee hearing that the war depart lnent. has taken steps to correct its records in numerous cases where "blue discharges" were is- sued. Regardless of this action, however, it has been held by a court decision that the World war veterans naturalization act of 1926 specifically excluded from the legislative definition of an "alien veteran" all those who did receive such "blue discharges"
 The bill which has now been reported to the house favorably by the committee on immigration and naturalization may possibl, be passed by both the house and senate before adjournment.
 Memorable tribute was paid on Memorial day to the grave of Rocco Ciarlo by the Italian World war veterans and the W0- mems auxiliary by placing a wreath of flowers on the grave. Being one of the founders of the chapter they could not forget their departed cOmrade on Me- morial day. The family of the de- parted were there at the time and wish to thank one and all for their kind expressions.
