BY MIR. P-HPERNICKEL)

The parade of the male and fe- made members of the old and historic Concordia Singing So- ciety around the Green last night, in celebration of the prize awards at the New Haven Saengerfest last week, made up a merry gath ering of representatives of old time German residents of the city.
 Otto Moulliet, president, jolly German, led the procession, fol- lowed by various young women members, carrying the different prizes as awarded. Behind them were more women members, burning red fire, and waving small American flags at the crowd of onlookers along the line of march. We saw a lot of well known members of the organiza- tion, including the well known and well liked Charley Dreher, Johnny Kunkel. Joe Hehch, Os~ car Hess and Billy Borchardt. There were others, of course, but their names do not just come to us at this particular, time. But we know, and have met them upon numerous occasions during our frequent visits to the hall in Bank street near Grand street. Who can ever forget the New Years Eve party, or the celebration, fol- lowing the annual masquerade.
 As the procession passed The Elton, a dinner party in the Colonial room halted to wave a salute from the balcony to the marchers. One of the women
 marchers burned her finger tips in the return salute of red fire to the hotel guests. But she laughed it off as she trotted along westerly to the fine snappy march of the Fulton American band.
 And just then, as we looked in the direction of the Soldiers Monument, a flock of the pesky starlings woke up, from their sleeping abode in the elms of the Green, Tapped their little wings and by the hundreds dashed in the air toward the. Railroad Tower. And just before that hap pening, the band even aroused the sleeping taxi driver, we see so often at the head of the Green.
 The Carrie Welton horse look ed on the parade as one of the closing incidents of it's career.
 Mournfully, the old horse said something like this;-"I've been here at this old station for a great many years, and I've seen

the Concordias on parade upon many occasions. The old Ger mans like the fine looking Dan Kiefer, have gone their way; Henry Menold, Bill Borchardt, the good father of the fine Borchardt boys, Tommy Eyman. By the way, in the days recall the bass voices of Dan Kiefer, Tommy Eyman and Alfred Dres- cher, played a prominent part in all of the state saengerfests, in which the old time Concordias took an active part. My, what a chorus the old society had years ago; we of old Waterbury always had a warm spot in our heart for the highly respected German. good citizen that he has always been right here in our home town. The old family gatherings at Myers hall in Scovill street, and the summer outing at He'll mann's grove over Brooklyn way. An, what's the use; we're on our last legs, too, and going out. But I just wanted to say a good word about the Germans before they cut off my legs"
 Certainly, Monday, was a great night for the Concordias and their friends.

HUNDREDS PLAN
 CANADIAN TRIP
Waterburians Show Un- usual Interest - Seek
 Identification Papers

More Waterburians will visit Canada next week than ever before at any one time in the citys his- tory. juding from the number of requests at the City Hall for let ters of Identification. During the last week the mayors off1ce has given out more than 200 such let ters, while the ofiice of the regis trars of voters has given out more than. 75.
 The general exodus to Canada is believed due to a combination of better times, with consequently higher wages, and the fact that many of the city's factories will give their employees vacations next week. Scores who have not had a vacation in years will have next week of, with pay.
 The number of applicants for identifying letters at the City Hall is the largest in history. The total of the past week exceeds even the number given out during the lush days of pre-1929, when Americans went to Canada to, among other reasons, quench their thirst.
 A steady stream of local resi- dents has been passing through the mayors office for the letters. The letters help tourists in getting across the border without too much difficulty, and serve as means of identification in case of any difi- eulty.
 Many of the letters carry four, five or more names, and practically all are for two or more persons. With hundreds planning to vaca- tion in Canada, it is apparent that thousands will leave the city to vacation at points far and near In this country.
