Bogus Salesman
 Takes POlice'S Tip--Leaves City

Local housewives need no longer fear they will be swindled by the so-called representative of the gas company who has just the thing for cleaning that faulty gas stove or appliance"
 After working this territory for a short time 'the agent", . na- tive of Danbury, was picked up yesterday by police and given two hours to leave town.
 Police had received numerous complaints about the bogus sales man, who claimed to be 8 repre- sentative of the Connecticut Light & Power company. Superintendent of Police William J. Roach ex- plained that the phony was selling the concOction in all sorts of bot ties, including those originally used for liquor.
 By actual test it contained about 93 per cent pure kerosene, and the remainder motor oil with 8 dash of amonia, according to po- lice.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-22


 It was stated that at the present eirne the cost of labor and materials have reached their peak, and build Ing lots in some residential sections nf the city have been more than doubled in svalue. Local officials predict that the month of Septenl- 6er, which is usually accepted as the busiest time of the year in real. estate will also witness another record, construction work should likewise equal those of seven years ago.
 The permits for the present month are greater when compared with those of May and June when Che value of residential buildings xander construction was $325,60o' Sixteen one family home permits were allotted in June at an estlm- nted cost of $72o00, plus $6,oooo for one two-family dwelling. Ad- Slitions, garages, and repairs brought the monthly total for June to $l58,050. The figures for the month of May reached $167,55O. During the past two months So home permits were issued, notable ! iY4crease over the number for both Nav and June of 1886 when 22 res- idential dwellings were under con- Struction. ~ \ .Although the number Of one fam ilv permits is exceptionally large, T{ispector Carlin said that many homes and buildings are being al- tered and many non-resldentlal bsrildings are under construction. me total building cost for the pres ent month, however will be greater than at any other time III the past decade.

Placement Figures In
 Waterbury On Decline
State Employment Service Report Shows City's Ef- forts Below Normal Many New Applicants Register

lower, but during the past month the slowing down of industry here and business in general saw de- cided drop in private placements. During June there were 485 place. ments made in Bridgeport, SIS kl New Haven and 751 in Hartford.
 New Registrants
 In all of the Connecticut lead ing districts there was also an in- flux of new registrants, situa- tion which always follows the gen. eral decrease in placing of men and women in jobs.
 The increase in registrations may be gathered from the following to- tals: Waterbury 599, Hartford 1,231 Bridgeport, 817, and New Haven 1,137.
 The private placement figures for Waterbury, also included in the state report, were broken down as follows: Agricultural and Minerals %; Building and Construction, o; Manufacturing, 36; Mechanical re- pair, O; finance, 0; Wholesale dis tribution, 5; Retail distribution, IA; Domestic and Personal Service, 131; Hotel, Restaurant and Amusement 21; Professional, 4; Public Utility 0; Transportation 2. The rest oi the private placements are listed under PWA and other governmental placements, not including WPA.

booters found the busy Isthmus an ideal place for depradations. Sir Francis Drake and his men ann pushed gold trains, carried the loot to the coast. The pirate Morgan once ravaged the gold port itself.
 Chiriqui Province is remote from Panama City and beyond the route taken by the gold trains. But it may have been, Dr. Bennett suggested, that Drake's men sailed up the coast after an ambuscade, anchored in Chiriqui Lagoon and carried their loot to a hiding place in the Santa Maria foothills.
 Prof. T. T. Read of the Columbia University mining engineering de- partment said that the gold may well have been mined where it was found. He said that the Spaniards first found gold in the islands of the Caribbean and then developed more productive sources in Costa Rica, the "gold coast of the new world. Chiriqui borders upon Costa Rica.

(Continued from Page D to create i'll feeling within the boun- daries of this country but also in violation of the law" he wrote.
 Citron enclosed telegrams from Dr. Boris E. Nelson, New York, exc cutive secretary, non-sectarian anti Nazi League, protesting against the Andover camp, and urging him to help close all "such Nazi military camps"
 Nelson demanded an exposure of financial and other backing, direc- tion and control" of the camps.
 Camp Dedicated
 Andover, N. J., July 22-(UP)- Camp "Nordland," outdoor recrea- tion center for members of the Ger man-American Volksbund, was dedi- cated last Sunday with festivities in which more than 5000 persons par ticipated.
 The camp, the Fist of its kind es- tablished by the Bund, covers 97 wooded acres and has tent facilities for 200 boys and girls as well as space on which adult Bund members may erect cottages.
 Herman Won Der Busch, secretary of the camp, described it as an outdoor meeting place for German Americans. It has picnicking and bathing facilities.
 At the dedication ceremonies members of the Ordungs Dienst, the Bund's Quasi-military organization, Italian-American war veterans in- cluding a contingent of Italian blackshirts, brown-shirted boys, and girls clad in white shirtwaists and dark skirts paraded to the accom- paniment of martial band music.
 The spectators gave the Nazi sa- lute when the flag section, in which the German Swastika was much in evidenct, passed by.
 Speakers took issue with Rep. Will liam L. Citron,s statements in which hes said he would ask an investiga- tion and the Bund and laughingly warned the audience to look for ma chine guns behind the trees.
 After the ceremonies beer and wurst in huge quantities were served.
