 "When The Democrat comes to my house I'm sure to took for of the Record for my daily grin."
 Write Originally
 Ed Reed, the. cartoonist, probably can tell from the day you word your brief letters, just senetnces, really, how you really feel about it.. Sc don't you dare use the samples above. They are sort of form sem tences, as it were. They don't cx- actly ring true, either.
 But get your notes and names in to The Democrat at once because the contest closes Saturday night If your letters are postmarked be- fore midnight, they'll be accepted Allow for accident, however, and get those letters into the mail today Or bring them into The Democrat office.
 One of the Waterbury letters may win major prize, you know. It's worth thinking about, and better doing-and right away.

Stonington, Nov. Alt was an- nounced today that c. E. Smith, vice-president of the New Haven railroad will be one of the speakers at the unveiling here on November 10 of @ bronze tablet commemorate ing the centennial of the opening of the first railroad in Connecticut. Work has been started on the erec- tion of the marker upon the old of the Stonington rail- road, which runs across town to the location of the one-tilne busy steann- boat dock.
 The line was conceived with the sole idea of connecting Boston trains with steamboats for New York, an all-rail route at that time being considered impractical.
 The ceremonies commemofating the event are in charge of citizens committee, headed by Postmaster William J. Farnan, Dr. Charles M. Williams is chairman of @ commit tee in charge of an exhibit of histor- ical railroad material which is to be displayed in the parlors of the Congregational church. Henry R. Palmer, Jr., is chairman of the pro- gram committee and Jerome s. An- derson, editor and publisher of the Stonington Mirror, is head of the publicity committee.
 Arrangements have been made with the New Haven railroad to make special stops of the Bay State from New York and the Forty-Sec- ond Street Express from Boston, so as to make 1t convenient for per- sons from other cities to attend the celebration. For the return journey after the ceremonies, the New York bound Puritan and the Colonial eastbound also will be stopped at Stonington on that day.
 Members of the Newcomer society have been especially invited to at- tend and members of the New Lon- don Railroad association, The Rail- way & Locomotive Historical society, and other groups are expected to participate.

Time, that fleeting thing, fits and fits fastly on this date. Reason, there remain but five mors days for folks in Waterbury to enter the of the Record" baby-naming contest and pick up some of the $400 in prizes that Ed Reed, the originator, is offering.
 If you've not sent in names for the two boys and the girl, written your letter telling why you like, of the Record" now is the time to do it and quickly. For Saturday night the entries will be closed as tightly as the Waterbury election records when they were held in the bank vault.
 It seemed when the contest open- ed that it wouldn't be good idea for this department to suggest names and the material for the letters, not that this would add to the merit of anyone's ideas, of course. But now 1t seems that one point should be stressed: YOU MUST SUBMIT A BRIEF LETTER WITH YOUR SET OF NAMES FOR BABIES.
 About the Letters
 This letter should tell why you like the cartoon, of the Record ' which appears on the editorial page of The Democrat.
 Today's mail included some postal cards which have sets of names for tho babies. But the cards failed to include any word, even word, in fact, about the cartoon. This is one of the stipulations of the contest; tlsat you write about he cartoon

CASE
WILL GO TO
JURY TODAY
Ex-Head of Fidelity
Association Repeats
Forgery DeniaIs

The guilt or innocence Of Fred
B. Rhodes, former president of the
closed Fidelity Building and Loan
Association, who is on trial in
United States District Court on a
charge of forgery, may be deter.
mined by a jury today.
Both sides completed the pres
entation Of evidence during the
morning session today, and oppoS-
ing counsel were to make their
arguments during the afternoon.
Deposition Recalled
The banker.laWyer is specifically
charged with forging the name Of
Desire A. Irr, a depoSitor, to a
$500 withdrawal slip.
Irr was recalled to the witness
stand by Prosecutor John ]. viii
son today, and refuted testimony
of Rhodes to the effect that he had
authorized Rhodes to make use
of his large account to meet emer-
gency demands.
Controversy Blamed
Never at any time, Irr said, did
he tell Rhodes to use his money.
Rhodes completed his testimony
by reiterating earlier claims that
his Indictment was a direct result
of a controversy his association
had with the Comptroller of the
Currency.
The comptroller, Rhodes said,
insisted that the association pay
its last dividend although the di-
rectors were opposed to the pay
ment. He maintained, under queS-
tioning by his attorney, William
E. Leahy, that the Irr withdrawal
was with the depositor's knowledge
and implied permission. Rhodes
also declared that he had received
mot single penny as a result of
the transaction.
