Naugatuck, Sept. 8 Members of the ire committee of the board of warden and burgesSes and officers of the Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder association held a harmon icus session last night at the fire house.
 The removal Of the bench in front of the ire house was discussed and the group felt, 1t was reported. that if complaints had been received from citizens of the town of action by those using that bench that met with disapproval of the citizens. the chief was right in ordering the bench removed.
 Chief Milton Calvin pointed out that in the three years he has been chief, he did not take such action until this summer and then only on complaints.
 He said when the doors are closed for the winter, he will be glad to put the bench inside the fire house. He added at times when. he put the bench inside recently some members have taken 1t outside.
 Only a few disgruntled members caused trouble about the bench, he told the group. It was decided the officers of the company will meet once each month to hear any griev- arices the volunteers may have.
 All the officers of the company attended except the foreman, Peter J. Foley. Surprise was expressed that Mir. Foley was not on hand as sev- eral attempts to contact him to be present had been made. Mir. Foley showed Burgess Joseph Nygren around the building after meeting of the fire committee some weeks ago.
 Feel Conditions Good
 It was learned officers of the com pany felt conditions were better in the fire house now than ever be- fore. It was felt although minor disagreementS might result, there is no reason for individuals to conn plain without first consulting of- ficors of the company.
 Chief Calvin said he tried to treat all alike with no favoritism showed. The meeting was not open 10 the press.
 22 Births in August
 Births were plentiful last month, the report of Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr. shows. There were g birshs, of which IS were females and 6 males. There were five mar riages and 18 deaths.
 Heart disease caused nine deaths, pneumonia, 3; fractured skull, i; cancer, 2: nephritis, l: tuberculosis, l: diabetes, l; and other causes, 1. No babies under one year of age or children between the ages of 1 to died.

might mark new step, for the old- CT and more experienced politicians are the ones that usually got the call as far as the machine influence is concerned. Whether the group that controls the republican party here is changing its policy remains to be seen.
 However, who ever is nominated tomorrow he will undoubtelly be the short-ender in any betting as in recent years the democratic nominee has usually wen the posi- ton.

 Klambt, and instructor at the Tor rington "Y" accompanied the team and after the match 8 luncheon was served the group. These two teams have been friendly rivals for num- Der of years. Naugatuck expects to play return match in Torrington in the near future.
 Mrs. Walter A. Reilly, her son, Dr. Walter J. Reilly of Meadow street and Rev. John J. Burke of Thom- aston left today for Atlantic City, N. J., where they will vacation at the Seaside hotel.

Schiaroli And Brown
 Seek Probate Honors
Close Battle Looms Tomorrow Between Republicans;
 Shea Sure of Democratic denomination

Naugatuck, Sept. 23- Renomina- ton of Judge of Probate D. Emmet Shea, is virtually assured at the democratic probate convention in the Beacon Falls town hall at 6 o'clock tonight. A nip and tuck battle between P. Francis Sciharoli, young attorney who achieved a bril- liant record at Yale, and Walter E. Brown, veteran republican and post master here for many years, is like ly at the g.o.p. probate session to- morrow night in the Beacoh Falls town hall.
 Reports have 1t that Mir. Scl1iaro- Il has three delegates lined up for him although MT. Brown claims to have a majority of delegates.
 There will be six delegates to the convention and it will be necessary to secure majority before noniin- ation can take place. Up to this morning the republican party naa- chine had not shown its hand in favor of either candidate.
 This comes as surprise to pOli- tical observers. Many thought that MT. Brown would be the machine choice in view of the fact he has served 50 long for the party.
 If the machine here should de- eide to support Atty. Schiaroli, il

youngsters, for the most part,
never have had jobs.
"If they don't get work the
drifting habit becomes unbreak-

"The Governments program
for rehabiIitating these tran
sients, which was closed down
in September, had results both
good and bad, but mostly good.
Federal authorities tried to
get their hands on the young
sters, give them rail fare home
and find them relief work. Ef-
forts to put them in CCC
camps were hampered because
they had to live at home.
OFFSET BY GOOD
Friendly said:
"The Federal program Stimu-

checking 1t. The boys knew that
every $50 miles or so they would
come to a Government camp
where they would be bedded
and fed, and many were induced
to quit their homes, 1 believe"

land was graphically related at a
night session Of the board Of in
quiry investigating the death of
Sergt. Wilbert v. Hunter, State
trooper frozen to death while at
tempting to take supplies to the
island during the blizzard on Feb
ruary z.
The Rev. Harry N. Bailey. pas.
tor Of the only church on the
island and chairman of the Red
Cross chapter there, took the
stand to defend the action of
sending out the relief party, de
claring:
'Tf 1 had been there. I would
have led such an expedition my
self, under the same circum-
stances, If necessary. Conditions
on the island were bad. Food
supplies were almost ex-
hausted."
TELLS OF NEED
Mayor w. T. Crockett also tool
the stand and testified as to the
dire need of the islanders, who
had then been cut off from the
mainland for three weeks. Resi-
dents of nearby Smith Island
also took the stand and testified
IS to the need for supplies.
Lieut.. P. A. Short, commander
of the Coast Guard cutter Travis,
which the expedition was at
tempting to reach, testified thai
about noon of that day he talked
to Major Enoch Carey, superin
tendent Of State police who lee
the party, and advised him not
to attempt to cross the ice be
cause Of the storm.
Refuting testimony given al
yesterdays session that leader
ship was bad, State Trooper
Charles Disney, one of the mer
who made the trip, declared the
entire trip was well planned"
He denied charges that no
safety precautions were taken,
explaining the men were roped
together, and that several times
men who fell through a hole in
the ice were pulled back to safety
by these ropes.
Two Men Sent Back
Major Carey gave orders to take
two Of the men who fell through
back to land, the trooper said, and
by that time a number of fisher.

High Feed Prices
Worry Dairymen

With prices of various types of
dairy feeds advancing this fall
dairymen have been somewhat
worried as to their best procedure
in the feeding of their dairy cows.
Some dairymen have tried to find
low priced feeds with which to
make up their rations, while other
dairymen have been inclined to re-
duce the total amount of feed given
to their dairy COWS. Caution
should be used in both respects as
some low priced feeds might not
provide the total digestible nutri-
ents at any lower cost then some
of the standard dairy feeds even
at a higher price per ton. They
should also use caution in reducing
the total amount of feed given to
dairy cows. This statement taken
from Feeds and Feeding" by F. b.
Morrison, shows the importance
that should be- placed on liberal
feeding even when prices of feeds
are high.
1T has been stated previously
that a Well-fed dairy COW produc-
ing about one pound of butterfat
a day requires AZ per cent of the
feed she eats for the maintenance
of her body. She therefore has
available for milk production only
about one half her feed. If such
a COW is fed only two-thirds as
much feed, she will digest the scan-
ty ration a trifle better, but she
will still need nearly as much feed
as before to maintain her body. AS
a result of the scanty feeding, she
will probably have available for
milk production only 80 per cent
or less of the total feed she eats.
This great reduction in the amount
of feed that is left after her MAIN
tenance requirements have been
met. will much more than offset
the slightly greater digestibility of
the limited ration. Also, as has been
pointed out previously, the over
head expenses in stock feeding are
greater when an animal is produc-
ing at low rate.
1T is just as unwise to overfeed
a poor COW as it is to be stingy
with a good producer. A COW lack
ing in productive capacity that is
fed liberal ration cannot increase
her milk production beyond her in
herited capacity. All she can do
is to store the excess nutrients in
the form of body fat. instead of
turning it into milk The best plan
is to get rid of such a COW, for She
will not pay for her keep. If she
is retained, it is important that
she be fed according to her actual
production of milk. instead OF being
given as much grain as the efficient
animals in the herd"
