U. s. s. OREGON 1 OF 1898 GLORY
 TO BE SHRINE
States School Children to Contribute Pennies to
 Save Ship

Portland, Ore, Nov. 20-(UP)-- The Battleship Oregon commission is launching a campaign to finally provide a fitting resting place for the famous old battle-wagon that figured so prominently in the Span ish-American War.
 The fate of the de-commissioned battleship, which was given by the Federal government to the state of Oregon in 1923 and saved from the scrapping provisions of the limit ationS of arms conference, has been referred to the children of Oregon.
 The pennies of school children will be used to move the vessel from present temporary quarters to Port land city property bordering the Willamette River, and the site will be converted into a marine park. A fund of approximately $50,00O will be needed, the commission estimat- ed.
 To Be Penny Fund
 The Oregon ranks with Old Iron- sides in U. s. naval history, and the same method of penny contributions will be used to perpetuate 1t as 8 patriotic shrine.
 An act of Congress passed June 30, 1890, gave authority to build the battleship, and the Union Iron Works at San Francisco built the vessel at the cost of $6,280, 900. Henry L. Howison was the first commaIl- der.
 The Oregon's fame came when it sailed under secret orders in 1898. Around the Horn the battleship sailed, and 14,000 miles out of San Francisco 1t nosed into. Havana har- bor, cheered by men aboard other vessels in the wartorn port. The battle was fought July 4, when the Maria Theresa, Oquendo, Viscaya, and the Colon of the spanish fleet were engaged and beaten.
 Legisutaure Votes Praise
 The measure adopted by the Ore- gon legislature in accepting the ship said:
 "The gallant performance of the whole ship and the valiant deeds of the heroic crew that have man. ned her are forever enshrined in the hearts of the people"
 Moving the Oregon will be no less job than moving a 14-story office building with 40-foot frontage. It weighs more than 20,o00, ,0000 pounds, is nearly as long as 11s Portland city blocks (351 feet, 2 ir1ches), is 69 feet, 3 inches wide, carries four 13-inch guns, eight 8-inch guns, twelve 3. inch guns and four 6-pounders.
 Cooperation of Spanish American war veterans and other patriotic civic organizations will be sought, and medallions struck from brass and copper of the Oregon may be distributed.

JEWRY OBSERVING
 FEAST OF LIGHTS
Special Chanukah Cere- monies Held in Local
 SynagOgues,

Chanukah, the eight-day celebra- ton commemorating the victory of the Maccabees over oppressors who sought to deprive them of their right to worship, started yesterday with Waterbury Jews attending serv- ices presided over by Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf at Sharis Israel syna- gogue and at Waterbury Hebrew in- stitute, the latter service attended by members of the Young Israel congregation. <
 Throughout the period, known as the feast of lights, special services and observances will be held by or- ganizations and in the homes. Tribute will be paid to the memory of Judas Maccabeus, leader against the Greeks who sought to establish worship of zeus.
 Rabbi Sheinkopf told the gather ings that Jews of today have similar problems of oppression confronting them and urged that i've remain loyal to our principles and our ideals" By this stand, he said, "as the Maccabees emerged victorious from their battle we, too, shall con- quer."
 "Today we Jews are fighting once again." he declared. Tt is not a fight with arms and deadly weapons. It is the conflict of the spirit against physical force and we are confident of the end. The lnultitudes of to- day seek to destroy the minorities who are biologically and psycho- logically different than they" he said.
 Abe Rosenzweig, vice-president, was guide at the Young Israel serv- ice and Joseph Shulman was can tor. Dr. Harry G. Levin was chair man of the entertainment commit tee, Miss Celia Korkin, refreshments, assisted by Miss Rose Kunofsky, Miss Jean Gutowitz and MT. Ro- senzweig.
 A Chanukah program of enter tainment will be held tonight at 8:3O o'clock at the Waterbury He- brew Institute under sponsorship of the Henrietta Szold group, Senior and Junior Hadassah. Children will be guests of Fannick post and auxil- iary, Jewish War Veterans, at 6 o. clock Wednesday at the institute and a similar party for children will be held at 4 o'clock Wednesday at Beth-El synagogue's auditorium.

Just a couple of pals who started out to enjoy the beauties of Mother Nature and ended up right in the old girls lap. Some gents simply can't see the forest for the trees while others can't see the road for the scenery. This motorist had eyes for everything but the highway ahead. He saw many pretty sights in fact he and his companion were simply carried away by the scenery. And they just escaped being carried away by the undertaken, too. Pay attention to your driving.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics |. .. In my experiences in the capacity of Dog Warden have encountered all types of the canine species Seeing all kinds of dogs every day gives person very good insight to their mannerisms whether they be long Short fat or lean, curly or straighhaired The members of the canine family have various characteristics of which likeabe and others would drive you almost to distraction One specl men, which German police dog refused absolutely to drink from pan, but would joyousy drink water, squrted from hose. Other dogs will not eat food, which is not cooked while most of them will attack piece of raw meat ravishy. This condition is brought about by the owners of pets and when they finally wind up in the pound it very difficult problem to to their diet. great many owners of pets furnish the animals with covering such as blanket fitted apparel The animals that accustomed to this treatment, cause the Dog Warden great amount of anxiety in regard to arranging the temperature of the pound One section of the enclosure where the stray sick dogs kept until
 they are cured destroyed is equipped with heating facilities also straw and blankets if necessary In this section the pets which are accustomed to especial at home given special privilege because they would suffer otherwise The sturdy active healthy dogs are placed in the section unheated where there space to move around. special mixture of dog food is pur chased and mixed with the regular food of the dogs which always brings about relaxed, contented cond- ton in the animals and retards the dogs from barking which thankfully, eliminates aggravating annoyance During the long nights watchman is on duty at the pound and at the call of any of the animals perchance that they might need food attention It is necessary
 to have attention during the night because most of the canines suffer from onness and homesckness due to the fact that they have been accustomed to plenty of company at home with their masters. If they were allowed to be left alone they would become morose and cause disturbance by barking and whining, which would be unbearable to passersby The above is only
 short episode relating the happenings in the life of the man. who responsible for the antics of the numerous pets harbored running loose in the City of Waterbury,
 intend to continue relating incidents in the future. Sincerely yours, Coleman A. OLoughlin.
