Legal Action to Be Instituted to Compel Owners to Remove Old TrOlleys Bought for Summer Homes;
 Contracts AIIegedIy Violated By Presence of Cars

"If Waterbury doesn't want trolley cars as means of conveyance-then we certainly don't want them located in our community as shelters and cottages" That was the stand taken today by officers of the Bethlehem Improveme men- Association, Inc, which Is the recognized authority at Kasson Grove, 8 recently developed summer resort at Bethlehem.
 This notice was served today upon owners of land in the grove, many of them Waterburians, but it was served only after at least three had already bought themselves the abandoned trolley cars for $25 and paid $50 to have them transported to their land at Kasson Grove.
 Notice Served
 In serving the notice that the trolleys would not be tolerated as places of abode at the resort, the committee cited certain restrictions

(BY THE FIRE MARSHALL

Waterbury history went up in smoke this morning.
 We refer to the old and historic trolley car that Waterbury aban- doned officially a few weeks ago. You see, H. E. Salzberg, Co.,, Inc, of New York, through its field super intendent, young Frankie Kelly, a New Haven boy, bought the junk" that goes with such equipment, and after stripping the car, turns it over and sets it on fire. He will do this for the next month or so, through a permit issued by the office of the fire marshal. The first burning took place this morning, in the rear of the formerly used public dump" off Chase avenue in the north end, under the direction of the fire mar shal and his staff.
 A Watertown car of the old days, No. 1906, was the first one of the lot to be destroyed, long double trucked closed passenger car, bear ing the green flag of an extra, fol- lowing. The fire got so hot right at the beginning we forgt to corral the flag as souvenir.
 Look at the car numbers of the passenger cars and see if you recog- nize any of the big double deckers,

FACTS AND FIGURES
ON YOUR ~
TELEPHONE D. Is B
By " N
@z,n4@@| w :

Again the Bell telephone system has
justified its slogan of a nationwide
service. Under severe flood conditions
in various parts of the United States
men and women-operators, super
visors, linemen, cable crews and engi-
neers, backed up by the service of
supply, the Western Electric Company,
combated the greatest flood of modern
times, with the result that telephone
communication was maintained in in
Vulnerable places under adverse con-
ditions. Where the flood waters dam
aged the equipment, service was re-
stored promptly and efficiently because
of this standardized service of supply.
Telephone science played an i'm
portant part in the operation of tele-
phone service during the emergency.
Long distance cables, which form q
veritable network of communication
over large part of the country, stood
up and operated under the most trying
conditions. These cables, filled with nj
trogen gas operated under pressure
even where the cable sheathing was
punctured, continued in service, the
force of gas keeping water from enter
ing the cable to such an extent that
service was unimpaired.
"The message must go through" was
again eXemplified as more than mere
phrase. That the job was we'll done is
acknowledged by company executives
throughout the affected areas. Presi-
dent Lloyd B. Wilson, of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
panies, expressed the thought that ''the
splendid devotion to duty during the
recent floods is but another example of
the fine spirit of service which is al
ways exhibited on such occasions by
c. and P. telephone people. We all take
great pride in your accomplishments
under such trying conditions"
The messages went through.

RADIANT LIVING
Protected by Light
By Rev. C. Nj. Griffith
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
CnnLlnrrr:IIo NIL


Sudlersville, Md.
Light assures one of safety. Grim
inals operate mostly at night under
the cover of darkness. But light de-
stroys the shield or darkness behind
which they perpetrate their evil deeds.
Keep yourself surrounded by light
and you will be safe, especially so
spiritually. The missions of Satan
cannot approach the Light of God. Let
me therefore keep in the fullness of
Divine Radiancy and I shall be safe.
When our World War aces were
surprised by the sudden appearance
of an enemy plane shooting forth from
a cloud they quickly turned directly
toward the sun, keeping themselves
directly in line between the enemy
and that blazing orb, until they were
in a position to attack. For when
flying directly toward the sun they
were swallowed up by the streaming
rays and lost to the vision of the en-
envy.
Comrade, should the enemy Of your

soul be pressing hard, fly directly God
ward by prayer and you will find not
only protection but also opportunity
to turn and attack.
Satan loses his opportunity to at
tack a soul which becomes hidden in
the light of God.
In closing his Epistle to the Ro-
mans, the Apostle Paul says: "The
night is far spent, the day is at hand,
let US therefore cast off the works
of darkness and let US put on the ar
mour of light"
Thank God for that armour, the
Armour of Light!
