Associate Justice Willis Van
Devanter of the U. S. Supreme
Court APPARENTLY has no fears
that he lacks physical vigor, de-
spite the fact that he will be 78
years old on April IT.
Recently he bought a farm near
Ellicott City, Md, and began
systematic course to put it in A
No, l condition. His farm has be-
come almost a passion with him.
Last summer he donned high
boots and other country regalia
and tramped all over the grounds
in the blistering heat. He wanted
to see with his own eyes Just
what improvements were being
made. Friends demonstrated with
him against too much exposure to
which he remarked Succintly:
81 can take care Of myself"
If he feels himself in need of
relaxation from passing on the
law of the land or farming he
turns to duck hunting. The past
summer he made the headlines
when he was caught at his favor

He was professor of equity plead

ONE-WAY TRAFFIC
 ON DAVISSTR
Extension of Bus Line Me- cessitates Change for
 Safety Purposes

One of the residential sections in Oakville, including Davis street, Williams avenue, and Woodvine avenue, is now being serviced at the present time by busses of the C.. R. & L. line which are running on an abbreviated schedule, in- cluding trips only during certain hours of the morning and late afternoon.
 The route is an extension of the Waterbury Watertown route, and is provided for in finding issued to- day by the state public utilities commission. Prior to the establish ment of the extension. residents of the section were forced to walk more than half a mile to the bus line.
 Watertown authorities were mak- ing arrangements today to make a portion of Davis street open only to one way traffic, in order to dispose of any danger which might result from the use of the buses on the narrow section of the street where 1t loops into Woodvine. Orly that loop will be made one-way, the re- mainder will still be two-way road. First Selectman Charles H. Skilton said the road would be made one-way as soon as the pro- per signs are constructed and in- stalled.
 The new route follows Main street as usual, branch into Davis street; to junction with Williams avenue: to Woodvine avenue; to Davis street again, and back to Main street.
