AL DARLING Former Waterburian Still Outstanding Figure in Thea tricaI Cir
 cles.

Nearly every time the New York Police or Fire Departments con- duct an affair in which enter tainment is provided, Al Darling, Waterbury born, arranges for the appearance of the artists. On April 21 last, the Detectives En- dowment association held its an- nual dinner and dance st the Hotel Astor. and again Al was a member of the committee detailed to look after this part of the affair.
 Al, as many of his loyal friends here know, is in the theatrical business, and has been almost since boyhood days. He's one of those kind of fellows, who likes do favors for others. That has been his motto for ever so many years. The old Waterbury spirit of friendship oozes in every drop of blood in his whole makeup. Always pleasant, never out of sorts, Al has gone through life thus far, gaining friends daily, until now some of the best known of police and fire officials of the Metropolitan city, and many others are counted his most intimate ac- quaintances. We like this sort of thing, we love to see people make friends, and hold them. Back in his boyhood days in old Canal street, where Al lived with his good father and mother, and sis- terS and brothers, he had way about him that endeared itself into the hearts of the fine old families of the neighborhood, and consequently these people never forgot him. We were one of his pals before we moved Out East. We roamed the vicinity of Dailey's once famous dye house on the east side of Canal street, ran errands for the various Irish and German families who once lived there, and saw these same fam lilies of other nationalities who had just arrived in the country.
 Around the old rink, we "souped" about the managers of the various 'Kickapoo' Indian medicine shows for admission to the exhibition at the regular Saturday matinee that always went with their appear ance in Waterbury.
 Al Darling has various relatives, and numerous friends still left in '"The Old Home Town" Occa- sionally, he runs up for day or two, for the purpose of meeting them. And when he does come, he likes to "mope" about the old sec- tion, and note the changes that have taken place since he was lad, in attendance at the old Elm street school building.
 We like him; our friendship has gone on for so long, we feel it will be everlasting. However, one couldn't help but like him. Ever ready to do a turn" helpful to others, he stands out as a product of what was drilled into the boy nearly 50 years ago by the aver age parent of Waterbury.
 After leaving Canal street, the Darling family lived in Leaven- worth street. The good-heartedness of MT. and Mrs. William Darling, AIS parents, was an outstanding feature in the life of this fine old couple.
 The name Darling always sounds good to us.

BANK SURRENDERS. MONEY TO STATE.
Receivership of Kazeme- kas Bank Practically
 Completed

The Waterbury National Bank, as receiver for the Kazemekas & Company Bank, today turned over the sum of $2,221.42 to the state treasury, representing the amount of uncalled for dividends of depos- itorS of the defunct bank.
 The sum of $2,221.42 will be minus any withdrawals made this morning. That figure was quoted early today by Chase Kimball of the Waterbury National Bank but the depositors had until noon to claim their funds.
 Turning the remaining funds over to the treasury department was in keeping with the order given in su- perior court April 16 by Judge Pat rick B. O'Sullivan. Depositors may receive their money from the state treasurer upon request.
 The action of transferring the money practically marks the com- pletion of the receivership of the Kazemekas bank. Only a few incl dentals remain to be accomplished before the receivership will be complete.

Technical Students
 In Local Factories
Leavenworth High School Graduates Making Good" ];
 One Joins the Marines for Adventure;

A statistical report on the mem- bers of the class of 1882 of Leaven- worth high school, released during the past week, bears out the state ment that the local technical school serves an excellent purpose as a training base for future employees in local factories. The report, com- piled by Alfred Goodson of the O-Scope" staff and released by Earle Blanchard of the faculty, shows that out of 39 boys, twenty one are at work in local factories. One Marine!
 And what is most important, 1t is stated in the article, is the fact that they are following out courses they took while in the school. Sixteen are in factories as apprentice tool makers and machine operators, while four are employed ss office clerks. Two others from the class are tradeSmen, one is plumber and the other two employed are truck drivers. In all there are thirty-two out of the 39 boys who are working. The rest are in col- lege, with the exception of one who has joined the marines.
 Three are clerks in local stores, one is park department enploye, one works at the Bronson library and one is baker.
 13 Girls
 Of the thirteen girls who were in the class, eight are now graduate nurses. The nursing course at Leav- enworth is listed as one of the most important in the girls curriculum. Three of the girls in the class are married, one is the proprietress of local beauty parlor and another is teaching school.
 A supplementary list of boys from the classes of 1892, B, 34, 35 and 36, also shows that 8 number of the young men have received jobs for which they were directly trained at the local high school. The list is as follows:
 Class of 1882
 Alfred Andrews, Waterbury Clock, toolmaker.
 Class of 1883
 Anthony R. Biondi, Chase Brass toolmaker.

month last year there were only 20 arrests. Last months figure was also a considerable increase over March, when 42 drivers were haled into court to anEwer charges.
 Special Patrols
 Special patrolling of East Matn street this week by the motor patrol squad helped make that thorough- fare much safer for travel. Oniy three accidents occurred on East Main street since last Sunday, while until then there had been % acci- dents on the street since the first of the month. Up to last Sunday more than a third of the accidents in the city since the first of April were on East Main street.
 Authorities point to the city's accident reduction record since last November in claiming that strict enforcement of the motor vehicle laws is one of the best means of reducing the number of motor vehicle mishaps. Since the acci- dent squad began work, the city has been cited several times for it's prevention work by the National Safety Council. Only this week the Council listed Waterbury as one of the honor cities for its reduction of accident fatalities.
 Cutting In"
 It was announced today that motor patrolmen will continue 24- hour patrolling of the principal thoroughfares of the city, with in- structions to be on the lookout par ticularly for drivers guilty of cut- ting in and out, driving too closely behind another car and speeding.

Audit ors' figures submitted showed that there are no deficits and that the bookkeeping accounts should be cleared up. The change is merely a mechanical one.
