Sammy Baugh--"S Singing sam"
from Texas Christian University
has decided to play professional
football after all, and gamble on
his future as a base ball player
with the Cardinal chain gang.
He also will turn his back,
temporarily at least, on a coach
ing career. He was offered the
job as freshman coach at Texas
Christian University.
Sam admits that the terms
offered by the Washington Red
skins are too good to refuse, so
he is winging across country
through the air lanes today and
will arrive in the nations capital
tonight.
Ray Flaherty. coach Of the Red
skins said this morning that
Baugh would be put into the line
up at once. The Redskins play
the Giants in their opening game
one week hence and Baugh will
have to drive to learn the plays
and Flaherty's system.

|SKATING BALLET |CIRCUS FEATURE
Helen Reynolds One of Principals in ZindaIl
 GrOttO Annual Event

With the announcement of the coming Zindah Grotto's fourth an- nual circus at the Armory for one week beginning Monday afternoon, April 12 it is expected that the weather man will throw his "snow flurries" signs into the discard and let 1t be known far and wide that spring is officially here and as the youngsters gaze in amazement at the billboards showing the beautiful ladies on the flying trapeze, Grandpa will make arrangements to take the children to the circus, mot that he wants to go, but just to keep an eye on the kids"
 The press agent vouches that the mighty, magnificent pageant this year will far surpass any previous offering, the clowns will perform f1nnier antics and the offering will be entirely new.
 One of the big features of the Grotto Circus will be the first Amer ican appearance of the 2 Danwills, famed Belgian teeterboard experts whose human bodies are juggled at aeroplane speed as they perform with the fury and abandon of shell fire as they are hurled into space. Booked to appear at the larger ex- positions throughout the country, the Danwills will offer many sensa- tional stunts full of heart stopping thrills.
 Another sensational turn will be Helen Reynolds and her skating bal- let. Advance reports describe them as the Ziegfelds of zest and zips, the high prieGtesses of rhythmic revolv- ing. Dr. Bernards' Elephants will also hold a center spot. Pachy- dermia's leading ladies, they are the only elephants in the world featur- ing synchronized pyramids, climax ing their offering with sensational pole walking. Spillers' Seals and Sea Lions will also hold an import ant spot on the program as will an- other importation. The Neiss Fam fly, trampolin sensations performing with the startling suddenness of Mt. Vesuvius eruption. Other offer ings to be seen here for the first time are the Frances trio, funniest of all comedy gymnasts, The Four Robeys, Three Hendersons, The Say tons, Aerial Smiths, the Riding Rod neys, Mary McLain and many other famous names in the circus world.
 Reserved seats for all night per- formances will be placed on sale Monday morning at Grotto circus headquarters, 70 Bank street. After noon performances are scheduled for 3:45 with the night show at 8:15. The doors of the Armory will open one hour earlier for a thorough in- spection.

PASTOR SPEAKS ONSCHO0L TOPIC.
Rev. pr. Walker Tells Par- ents to Emphasize Sun-
 day Necessities


 'Iet the parents put a little more emphasis on You've got to go to Sunday School" and 8 little more persuasion and example into Its time for us to get started to Sum- day school or church" and this question would be heard less often asserted Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational Church in his sermon yesterday morning entitled, What Youth Wants to Know About Religion"
 "WhY do we have to 90 to Sunday School?" That is the first question we have here. Most parents as well as Sunday school teachers have heard that at one time or another. There it nothing so new or startling about that question, but surely any one will agree that it is significant question, one well worthy of as sound an answer as we can offer.
 .'Why do we have to go?" There is something of compulsion implied here. Indeed 1t implies a further question, ought parents to insist on Sunday school for their children? My answer is ''Yes, under all ordin- ary circumstances and until young people are of age where they car be persuaded to go to church regu- larly." As long as parents provide all the necessities of life for the children and the young people, they have right to insist that they ate tend both day school and Sunday school regularly. The care and training of the soul ought to be quite as important as the care and the training of the body and the mind. We, want to it you young people for full, active and useful lives and nothing can take the place of religious faith. And the way things are organized in the United States, the day schools cannot teach religion, cannot give 8 thorough training in the Bible.
 Docs the average person today interpret the Bible correctly?" I'm afraid not. The Bible is not an easy book to interpret and there are a great many people who take great liberties with the Bible, they read their own ideas into the Bible. They choose the passages that seem to give some support to their parti- cular hobbies and forget all the rest of the Bible. Sometimes they take a verse and say that word doesn't mean this, 1t means that. They make the Bible say things the men who wrote it never intended to say. There are all kinds of false teachers in religion just as there are quack doctors in medicine.

Gone but not forgotten The gradual replace ment of Waterbury trolley lines with bus routes must make many people think about the heyday of the many resorts in and around Waterbury that owed their istence to the trolley There were many that started by the company and kept running year a ter simply because the troleys operated to these spots High Rock Grove of the first in this section of the valley and it the old New Haven road that sponsored it.

He made daily excursions south oo to Beacon Falls and Seymour and no doubt was such an expedition when killed.

MEMORY

MEMORY O memory! from your far throne, I hear you calling me- alone Your quickened spirit seems to say; am meditation's quiet way. And you whose chastened joys and fears Brought lamentations saddened years; Rise up and seek and bring sweet rest
 To every uninvited guest Lead me again with patient hand To meet, and love, and understand . Sweet heritage that lives again, And brings new hope to troubled men. memory your silent tongue Bots out with kindness human wrong, And from the dimly lighted past Brings forth in wisdom words that last. Sometimes your silent voice betrays The grief and sorrow of life's days, And frost winds chill the dreamer's heart .. . T is then that memory's hopes depart
