 Studies at Columbia
 Miss Sally Beardsley of Meadow street, local teacher, is studying at Columbia university during this summer.
 May Meet Monday
 The special meeting of the welfare board will probably be held next Monday night, July l9, Superintend- ent of Public Welfare Leo Scully said today. No meeting was held Monday of this week, the regular scheduled date, because some of the board members were out of town on vacations.
 It is expected there will be some interesting bushes to be discussed when the special session is held.
 Wins HonOrs
 William c. Fenniman of Sunset Farm, West Hartford, former local resident and son of MT. and Mrs Clarence E. Fenniman of Cliff street, Naugatuck was a member of a group of 26 graduated from the Graduate School of Banking recently, spon- sored by the American Bankers as- sociation at Rutgers university.
 MT. Fenniman was graduated with honors. He is one of l7 persons in the country who has taken and passed the course in trusts" given by the American Bankers associa- ton. He is connected with the trust department of the Phoenix State Bank and Trust company of Hart ford, and is a graduate of the local high school and of the Wesleyan un- iversity. He was fine athlete while at school, and took part in many other activities.
 Females Increase
 The female population of the borough increased during May, the vital statistics report of Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr., for that month, announced today shows.
 There were 20 births here in May of which six were males and IA were females. There were nine deaths, six males passing away and three females dying.
 Pneumonia was the main cause of death in May, four dying from this. One died from apoplexy, one from heart disease and three from other causes. One child under one year of age died, and none between the ages of one and five passed away.

Naukatuck, July 14-Members of the New Haven county fire chiefs emergency plan group will meet here next Tuesday night at 7:3O. It is the first time the organization has held session in Naugatuck and Q fine welcome is being planned for them.
 Fire Chief Milton Calvin today said the board of directors of the group will meet at 7:30. Following this e fog nozzle, gas mask and in- halator demonstration will be given.
 About 50 are expected to attend from various parts of the county. Refreshments will be served fol- lowing the business session.
 Hearing Date Nears
 Interest continues in the public hearing to determine whether or not Mill street will be closed to the public. The hearing will be held next Tuesday.
 It is expected representatives of the group wishing the street closed will be present and also some of those who signed a petition protest ing such action are likely to be on hand.
 The board of warden and bur- gesseS will hear both sides of the question at the hearing to be held at 8 D. m. daylight time Tuesday.
 Members of the Hop Brook Golf, Inc, are in favor of closing the street. They believe the danger of golf balls hitting users of the street now that the goli course has been altered, is too great to allow the street to be open.
 They point out that golfers hit the balls across the street when drivingf from the tee, and this Is slwnaffy the hardest hit shot. fBorough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley Is in favor of closing the street on entirely different grounds. He feels the street is entirely too much expense to the borough as re- gardS upkeep and repairs, to be per- mittfd to stay open. The street Is little used, he contends. At the pres ent time 1t Is quite dangerous for autos to travel there because there are no guard railings, and In the winter slippery conditions often make 1t extremely hazardous, he says.
 The signerS of the petition against closing 1t contended they use the street often. Warden Sheridan feels that the hearing should be held to give both groups chance to air their grievances.
 One Court Case
 John Franscio, 52, of New Haven road was fined $l and costs of $l3.2e in borough court today on charge Of intoxication. A breach of peace charge was nolled.
 He was placed on probation for 60 days. He pleaded guilty to the intoxication count and not guilty to the other charge. Patrolman James
