DEER SEASON
ENDS WITHOUT
A SINGLE FIRE

Deer hunters of Imperial and
San Diego counties this year ended
the deer season without starting
a single fire in the Cleveland Ma
tional Forest, said Forest Super
visor A. c. Brenneis Thursday.
He praised hunters for the cau-
ton responsible for the excellent
record"
I'VE have had an excellent fire
record SO far this year. he said,
land hope that we can carry on
until the end of the fire season.
OF course, the fire season isn't over
yet. We cannot figure the season
is over until heavy fall storms ar
rive.
Nevertheless, the record of the
past few years offers a decided
contrast as compared with. for in
stance, the year 1928. During that
year more than 125,000 acres were
burned over. Last year 85 acres
were burned over in 81 fires; this
year, to date, 40 acres have been
burned over in 20 fires"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-03-26

For his heroic saving of 3 life during the floods of last spring, John Steck, New Milford tele- phone man, and former Water burian will receive a Theodore ~. Vail medal of bronze, 1t was an- nounCed today by E. L. Simmonds vice-preSident of The Southern New England Telephone Com- pany.
 Vail medals arc awarded by tho company In recognition of out standing acts of telephone com pany. employees exempIifying de- votion and loyalty to the public service. The award to Steck is the only one to be made this year in this territory.
 SteCk last March affected a spectacular rescue of Frank Chase New Milford tavern keeper who was caught by the flood waters of the Housatonic while travelling the New Milford Kent highway. When his car stalled, Chase, swept off into deep water, found refuge on huge ice-cakc near a telephone cable line.
 In answer to his cries, Steck climbed a telephone pole on dry land and secured to the line one of the swinging seats telephone men use in cable work. On acc count of darkness and chashing ice, g boat could not be used. Although the poles were weaken cd by pounding ice. Steck man. Oeuvered the cable car several hundred feet along the line, threw a rope to Chase and guided him to the base of the nearest pole. Knowing the weakened line would ret hold the we.ght of two men, Stock did not attempt to bring Chase back, but fashioned 8 rope seat so that Chase could sit in it and hold his feet clear when the ice jam broke. He then made his way back and assisted men on shore who were able to rescrr Chase by boat after the ice we..t out.

 REDUCES RATE
Change Benefits Users of of Handsets, Alias
 French Phones"

Several hundred local telephone tisers having handsets in ther homes or business places will bene- fit by the new change in r&s af- fective next Thursday. Beginning in April all persons who have had liandsets for 24 months will not have to pay the 15-cent extra charge now imposed by the South- ern New England Telephone Com uany. At the present time sub scfiber must have used handsct for 36 months in order to be re- neved of this extra assessment.
 Furthermore, persons having landsets will only have to pay the extra charge for two years to get an exemption instead of three years. It is estimated that this change in rates will affect immediately about 10000 subscribers of the Southern New England Telephone Company, including several hundred in the Waterbury exchange.
 The change is in line with the policy which will reduce the charge further in the future as conditions permit until 1t is entirely eliminated, according to the company officials.
 The announcement is of special local interest in view of the afct that 8 week from next Wednesday a hearing is scheduled to take place before the committee on judiciary Of the legislature on a bill intro- duced by Representative Daniel J. Mahaney entirely prohibiting extra assessments for handsets.

Out Like a Lion!

March has insisted on going out like a lion this year. AS result streets of the city were covered this morning with a dangerous coating of ice and snow which caused several minor accidents, reduced motor traffic to a mini mum and made public service companies strain every effort to keep up to schedules.

 Automobiles and buSses were forced to put on chains. The street department had men at work to- day sanding hilly sections. The Connecticut Light & Power Co. and the Southern New England Telephone Co. did not suffer any ill effects from the storm.
 Business in the stores today was heavy despite the ice and snow as thousands "carried on" with their Easter shopping.

Chase School Organizes
 Boy Patrol In Traffic
Youngsters With Signs Given Warning to Pass
 ing AutOists

In an effort to avoid the sorrow brought about, in most cases, by carelessness and to offset the possi- bility of unforeseen accidents the Eth and 9th grade pupils at Henry s. Chase school, directed by Miss Grace c. Luddy, have formed the Chase Schol Boy Patrol.
 Each cay, at the close of school, members of this patrol stand on the curb near the building and display signs like the one seen above which warn the passing motorist that school is being dismissed. On the other hand the puipls cooperate with the car driver by refraining from dashing out into the street.
 Arm of Patrol
 An idea of the aims of the patrol may be gathered from some of the following excerpts taken from the charter:
 Members shall serve for at least ten weeks because experience means efficiency unless necessity warrants a change. Members may be reelected.
 Dutier shall consist of the fol- lowing actions:
 Attendance at Safety Council Meetings" Standing at posts as- signed on side walks, at exits, etc, to keep children on sidewalks at all times especially at dismissals.
 Display signs ((Attention! School Being Dismissed at three points O. building to warn motor- ists of dismissal Encouraging chil- dren to use crosswalls and to obey traf1ic officers.
 Educating small children to control impulse of darting of sidewalks in play, or for regain- ing dropped articles such as balls, hats, marbles, pennies. etc., by watching closely for such occa- sions. Preventing children from climbing or walking on walls or other places from which they may fall. Setting by example at all times safe conduct on streets and highways, especially the rule of using the left side of the highway.
 Never overstepping or showing authority on occasions when chill drefi are capably and plainly car- ing for themselves.
 Keeping calm in emergency and thinking quickly so that one acci- dent may not cause another. En. couraging children to go directly home or to their destination irn- i11ediately after dismissal.
 Members of the patrol shall bring all problems and suggestions concerning their duties to the Safety Council Meetings of if necessity demands immediate &C., tion to Principal or Citizenship teacher.
