CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The Christian Science Lesson
Sermon on Sunday denounces an
cient and modern necromancy, alias
meSmerism and hypnotism. The
Golden Text is from the Proverbs:
do they not err that devise evil?
but mercy and truth shall be to
them that devise good.' The same
Lesson-Sermon is given in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church Of, Christ, Scien-
tist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
A Scriptural selection includes
these verses from the Psalms:
"They that trust in the LORD shall
be as mount Zion, which cannot be
removed, but abideth for ever. AS
the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the LORD is round
about his people from henceforth
even for ever :. Do good, o LORD,
unto those that be good, and to them
that are upright in their hearts. AS
for such as turn aside unto their
crooked ways, the LORD shall lead
them forth with the workers OF in
iquity: but peace shall be upon
Israel"

TRIAL by, JURY
GASES ASSIGNED
Several Appeals to BE
Heard During Criminal
Session Next Week

Defendants In common pleas court
criminal cases who have selected
trial by Jury have been assigned for
hearing, Tuesday Of next week. II
will be the first day OF sitting for
the newly drawn panel Of common
pleas court Jurors. Superior court
Jurors, who were drawn Just before
the beginning Of the new year, will
not sit for their first session until
January 26, and from present indi-
cations they viii hear no criminal
cases.
The common pleas Jurors viii
hear the following cases: Stella
DeMaio: charged with keeping
house Of iii fame; John Adzima:
operating a motor vehicle while tn-
der the influence Of liquor: Ernest
Curulla: reckless driving: John
Griffin: no operators license, driv-
ing under influence Of liquor; James
Lamattino, keeping house Of III
fame; David WEIGH: evading re-
sponsibility. Also to be heard In
the court Of common pleas are the
cases of John J. Adzinna, charged
with operating motor vehicle while
under the influence Of liquor, and
Nathan Shulkin, charged with re-
ceiving stolen goods.
No person who has pleaded not
guilty to q charge presented against
him during this session Of superior
court has selected trial by jury, and
therefore 1t Is highly probable that
this jury will hear only civil matters
after 1t Is hnpaneled January rs.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1937-01-16

The specific questions asked Of
the commissioners recently were:
Should the employer, paying
weekly compensation to the injured
worker deduct the one per cent
from the weekly check2
Pin the event Of specific injury,
where a lump sum Is paid for loss
OF an arm, leg, eye or other men,
Der Of the body, should the employer
deduct one per cent from the sum
to be paid? An example of this
would be an injury necessitating
that the employer pay the injured
man compensation Of $1,000 and the
question Of whether or not $50 would
be deducted for the social security
fund.
Say No.
To both these questions the five
commissioners have answered In
the negative and have ordered that
no reductions be made from any
agreement, for payment to the Sc
curity fund. One Of the legal ad-
viSors to one Of the city's largest
concerns had ordered the tax de-
Quoted from the compensation
checks, but upon the decision Of
the commissioners retracted the Or
der. This decision by the commits
sioners Is to be used in connection
with all compensation cases
throughout the state and will not be
altered unless a decision by some
higher authority orders alteration.
Puzzling Question
The question which hangs most
heavily upon the commissioners In
this difficulty however, Is the effect
of the compensation period upon
the security sum to be received by
those involved after they reach the
retirement age of IS. According to
the commissioners no payments will
be made to the fund, by man ur1-
der compensation agreement, dur
ing the period of agreement. VIII
the government include the sum re-
ceived by the man during that time
In his security fund rating, or viii
that period be not counted In his
rating at all? The commissioners
have no authority to comment on
this angle and so have sought au-
thoritative opinion.
Opinions Expected
Queries have been addressed, by
the commissioners, to the Social Sc
curity Board at Washington, and
also to the attorney-general. Opin-
ions by these two branches Of the
government should enlighten the
compensation commission as to their
future movements.

arrested for giving short measure.
Full Charge
The state police department now
has full charge of weight and
measure inspections by the state.
State Police Commissioner Anthony
Sunderland has. instructed his men
to give full cooperation to the SEAL
ers Of weights and measure In every
locality.
The drive is one to wipe out un-
scrupulous dealers, Sealer Dun
leavy stated this morning. His un-
firing work In this direction has
met with the hearty approval of
the reputable coal and oil dealers.
Troopers Here
A representative of the state po-
lice department was in Waterbury
all Of the present week aiding Sealer
Dunleavy In his check-up. The STU
alton Is such that every step possible
should be made, the latter said, in
wiping out fraudulent practices
among coal and Oil dealers. The
fact that is per cent Of the meters
tested on oil trucks were found to
be defective represents serious sit
uation, he declared. In many In
stances such condition Is due to
carelessness. However, he said,
carelessness will not be tolerated
and more prosecutions are sure to
follow.

ed as much better by authorities Of
st. Mary's hospital, where they are
recovering from the effects of the
Sufocating smoke which belched
from the cellar Of the building.
These were the only two freight
ers hospitalized by the smoke,
others were affected but all report
ed for duty.
Long Fight
Firemen worked for 10 hours at
the scene Of the blaze before it was
finally quenched. The alarm was
sounded at 1898 o'clock Thursday
night and the last apparatus to
leave was Engine 10, which depart
ed at 1920 p. m. yesterday after
noon.
No Estimates
No estimate has as yet been
placed on the damages to the Lor-
raine Shop and the Wilko Knitting
Mills, which were the principal suf-
fererS. The. Lorraine Shop had Just
received consignment of new coats
and dresses the day Of the fire and
these were ruined by smoke or wa
ter. Splendid work was accom-
plished by the firemen in pumping
the water out Of the cellar which
was flooded, almost up to the very
first floor Of the building. Very lit
tie damage was done to any other
section Of the building than the
main floors, although some smoke
and water damage was suffered by
the Agasta shop, which is south of
the, Wilko store.

Every citizen Of Waterbury who Is
interested In good government
should get back Of this vital move
ment."
