Judge Nichols Here

Judge Edmund Nichols. formerly
OF Billings but now representing
oil interests in Los Angeles. Cali
fornia, arrived in Billings August
8th, for a several days business
stay. Judge Nichols thinks many
Cadfornians are giving the Midland
Empire OF Northern Wyoming and
Montana careful consideration at
this time. Costly wells and made
quate supply in the Pacific coastal
oil area has something TO do with
attention given as well as larger
fields being the order OF

Grounded"

Victim of the heavy rainfall, a racing pigeon sought haven from the storm yesterday on a window sill at Howland-Hughes. Employees who cared for the bird and fed it, were able to identify the storm orphan by the birds identi- f1cation tag.
 After checking to see whether the pigeon was one of a shipment sent by the Bristol, Terryville and Thomaston Pigeon Clubs to New York, it was ascertained that the bird belonged to the Fall River Club and Arthur Harris, display manager at Rowland Hughes, has written the secretary of the Massachusetts Association to make arrangements for the birds return.
 It is believed that the pigeon, a young bird and registered in 1887, may have been freed at Poughkeepsie or Rochester, N. Y.

TEACHERS ARE AT
 TASKS IN CROTON

Groton, Conn, Sept. 14.-(UP)- The little white school house in the thirdt district opened its sixth class of the term today with two teachers still holding sway over the 2 pupils and refusing to heed the warning of the town counsel that one of them had been appointed illegally.
 The mixup was a result of feud between Third School District Chairman Dudley Brown and Supt. of Schools S. B. Butler. Brown ap- pointed Mrs. Hazel Bucklyn and Butler named Miss Ellen Innis.
 Determined to sift the affair to the bottom were town officials who hunted through the woods today for the boundnary stones of the third district to satisfy themselves that Brown actually resided in the dis- trict. Meanwhile both Brown and his wife, the latter secretary and treasurer of the district, were un- available. It was reported that no pay cheeks could be delivered until they were signed by Mrs. Brown. Theruling of the town counsel was that "one job existed and there will be only one pay check" The ques- tioEi remained to whom the check would be given.

John Roosevelt, who made the nations headlines today when arl- Ylouncement was made of his engagement, received some early congratulationS from young Waterbury admirer, Thomas P. Cassidy, Jr., son of MT. and Mrs. Thomas P. Cassidy of Grandview avenue. MT. Cassidy is local sup erintendent for the Prudential Life Insurance Co.
 The Cassidys recently returned from a six-weeks' trip to Ireland. A fellow passenger on the liner was the presidents son. He and little Tommy became fast friends and young Roosevelt gladly posed for a picture with the local youngster.
 While in Ireland MT. Cassidy and members of his family made their headquarters in Dublin and visited all the historic places Of which they had read, including the beautiful valley of the seven churches at Glendaugh, the Vale of Avoca made famous in the songs of Thomas Moore and saw the tree where Moore is said to have actually written the Meet ing of the Waters" They also vis- ited Blarney Castle, seven miles from Tara where St. Patrick started his missionary career, and many other places, equally noted in history and in legend. They also had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Ally Byrne, mayor of Dublin and many other prominent figures.
 MT. Cassidy said that he found general conditions in Ireland to be vastly improved and the pro- gram of the government has brought about considerable eco- homie betterment. He said that certain clements which were a short time ago opposed to Presi- dent DeValera have now become sympathetic to his plans. The president has eliminated the annuity tax which saves many families a comfortable sum each year.
 He said that he was greatly surprised to notice the many new industries which have come into existence and that at the present time during the of seasons, far- mers and members of their fami-' lies can find employment in factories. The principal industries are the production of beet sugar, bricks and flax.
 He said that the greater num- Der of tourists are perhaps most surprised to note that Ireland Is the most peaceful nation in all of Europe, the people dividing their time among religion, education, farming and industry and giving little thought to the war-like at titude of other countries.
 Concerning the housing prob lem, MT. Cassidy relates that the thatch roof cottages are fast be- coming extinct and where iaa some towns 80 per cent of the buildings were of this construction, there are now in some places only two or three. Guides informed him, he

MAYOR HAYES COMMENTI

MAYOR HAYES COMMENTS
 This section is written in one sentence of fourteen lines. This in itself would indicate the probability of confusion in its interpretation. Further, in the first two lines, every city em- ploye is forbidden to seek elec- tion to public office. The last two lines, however, contain the following curious conflict of words, provided nothing in this portion . shall be construed to prohibit or prevent any such officer or employe from seeking or accepting election or ap- pointment 10 public ofnce." What does 1t all mean?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-14
THE ANSWER

THE ANSWER
 Your criticism does not apply to the present draft.
 If you will compare this sec- tion with Sections 221 and 233 of the Charter you will see that 1t adopts the present restric- tiOns on political activity which the Charter now imposes on members of the Police and Fire Departments and makes them apply to all employees of the city's classified service.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-14
THE ANSWER

Under this section city em- ployes cannot be forced to con- tribute time or money to any political party or be forced to join any political club in order to hold their positions.
