Dedication Of Dexter Play Field

DeulCatlOn Oh DtAieI lay Tlciu
The dedication of the Dexter Play
Field and Band Stand was sponsored by
the Libby Schools on Friday, Oct. 2.
The play field is locat1l south of the
Central school, and is not only an adj
dition to our school facilities, but an
addition to the beauty of our city A
band stand is an addition that has long
been needed by our city. Previously
we had no place suitable for band con-
certs, which were held on the school
lawn or at street intersections. This
new band stand makes it easier to APP
preciate the concerts because of the fact
that the music carries SO much better.
The dedication was opened by an
impressive flag salute by the Boy
Scouts, who remained at their stations
throughout the dedication. The quiet
attention of the audience is proof of
the effectiveness of this opening cere-
mony Following this the High School
band, under the direction of Mr. Cliff
ford Haugland played several selec-
tons.
Mr. Elmer Switzer, Senior, was called
upon to deliver the address OF the ev-
ening. Mr. Switzer dedicated the play
field to Mr.. Dexter, for whom it is
named He said that Mr.. Dexter had
long been influential and helpful in the
activities of the Libby schools. He
pointed out that it was fittir,>. that the
play field should be named for man
who has been SO outstanding in affairs
of the schools. The students and fac
ulty of the school will corroborate his
point Of view, and express our pride at
this dedication.

JUDGE COMMITS
 CHECK PASSER
GO Days for Accused Re- leased Two Days Ago;
 90 for Trouble Maker

Charged with passing worthless checks, Harley B. Morse, 31, of this city, was sentenced to jail for 60 days by Judge John R. McGrath in city court today. Morse has been arrested several times for the same offense and was released from the Norwich state hospital two days ago after serving sentence imposed for intoXication. Police say Morse's crav- ing for alcoholic liquor impels him to write checks for small amounts which he cashes in taverns.
 Benjamin Zanavich, 29, of IA Ed ward street, was sentenced to jail for 90 days on charges of drunken ness and breach of peace by Judge John F. McGrath in city court to- day. Zanavich, arrested on com- plaint of his wife, was given 30 days on the first count and 60 on the second.

NOTICES GIVEN
 LOCAL DRIVERS
Four Ordered to Appear for Failing to Have
 Cars Checked

Four local motorists received sum- nonses yesterday when found driv- ing without inspection tags on their automobiles, by state department of motor vehicle inspectors and two members of the local police depart ment. The offending motorists will be obliged to take the summonses to Hartford where they will appear be- fore a hearings board to determine whether or not their markers will be taken away and if so for what length of time, 1t was stated this morning by Inspector Thomas Lumpkin in charge of the local in- Spection lane.
 Two hundred other motorists were stopped yesterday when they were found driving without the necessary stickerS on their cars but were re- leased when they drove directly to the inspection lane to have their cars inspected. Tt is the rigid rules of the Hartford office, that forces me to give out these summonses," declared MT. Lumpkin, who pro- fessed no desire to have any motor ists lose their markers through ne- glect. However, he stated, the only way out is to have them inspected immediately.
 Police Checking
 None of the inspectors are posted on the roads today to pick up motor istS, 1t was announced by the local inspector, but unwary motorists are in danger of the vigilance of the To- cal police force.
 Conditions throughout the state show that the head office in Hart ford really means business for to date 50 registrations have been sus- pended and a dozen plates have been already taken away. James R. Rabbett, chief of the hearings divi- sion, stated that the department feels that all motorists have had am- pie time to comply with the law and that it is now cracking down" hard on delinquents and others whose autos have been withheld from in- spection.
 The suspensions imposed vary considerably, some lasting for but a few days while others continue for an indefinite period.

fortunate misunderstanding and that the racket statements must be credited to certain individuals among the crowd of more than 5000 persons who attended the fire works display which took place Monday night in connection the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, and who were disappointed to learn that the band had failed to appear. He personally did not make any :. such comment.
 Pace Comments
 Michael Pace, leader of the WPA string ensemble said that he was sorry that the criticism was made since 1t will probably be accepted that his orchestra is included. "We have no discrimination as to where we should play our engagements ' he said, pointing out that within the past few weeks the string en- Semble has played at various church activities as well as for other or- ganizations, sometimes playing twice daily. These engagements have been at SS. Peter and Paul's church, the church of the Sacred Heart, St. Paul's M. E. church, the South Fed erated church, St. Margaret's church Notre Dame academy, the Second Congregational church and the YMCA. If we were ordered to Mt. Carmel, we would have gene there without further question" he as. serted. MT. Pace said that the park department supervises their engage ments and that they are separate from the band, which operates un- der the same auspices.
 Expresses Regret
 When talked with today Father Flynn said that he regretted to hear rumors that several of the musicians may be dismissed from the project, stating that he would not wish to be even partially re- sponsible for such action. He added that perhaps the committee in charge of the celebration was not fully acquainted with the procedure necessary to have the band appear at such a celebration.
 In reply to statements over the bands engagement as published this morning Charles Durbin, pres- ident of the local musicians union, said that he had no quarrel with either Mayor Hayes or Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly, both of

Tyler Passes Over City In "BIinp"

Waterbury residents were treat ed to a sight not too common here when . U. s. navy blimp cir- cled the city a few times at 10 o'clock this morning. Housewives and office workers took time out from work to gaze at the craft, one of the smaller naval blimpS, and there were very few pedes- trianS who did not succumb to the temptation to- take look at the ship as 1t cruised about the city Rt . low altitude.
 The ship left Waterbury in the direction of Middlebury, where, it was learned from residents of the Tyler household there, Lieutenant Commander Raymond Tyler, for. mer resident of Middlebury, now connected with the U. s. naval air forces, brought the craft down to a very low altitude and waved to occupants of the house. Lieuten- ant Commander Tyler is the nephew of James Tyler of Mid- dIebury and, when taking test trips from Lakehurst, N. J., he usually flys over Middlebury and waves a greeting.

 Vacations Expected
 Members of the local WPA per- sonnel are following the action talk en in New York in regard to vaca- tionS with considerable interest. As far as the local situation is con- cerned, 1t seems evident that there are very few WPA employees who could qualify for vacations, with pay, under the specifications stated by Aubrey Williams, National Deputy WPA administrator.
 According to an announcement made yesterday in connection with the 10000 New York employees who will be granted vacations, the state- ment of the administrator entities only those engaged in administra- tive work, those employed on an annual or monthly salary basis, and those who work not less than thir- ty-nine hours per week. The last phrase in the statement eliminates all but few employed here in the city.

whom he described as personal friends. He said that he was all in favor of the music project since many unemployed musicians en- rolled in the union are receiving a great benefit in having this project in operation.
 Union Musicians
 Mir. Durbin stated that when the band and orchestra was organized he had recommended several union musicians, many of whom were &C., cepted while others were not. The band and orchestra were given to this city on condition that a cer- tain number of musicians were un- employed and that such 8 project was needed. In order to fill this quota, 1t was necessary to include several non-relief players as well as relief men. This is probably the req son why a half dozen who appeared on Town Plot with a union band were also members of the project organization. Musicians included on direct relief roles, he said, cannot participate in competitive concerts.
