PHONE EQUIPMENT HELPS NAUCATUCK
5000 Users Begin Dial Service TOnight-New
 Directories Big Aid

Dial telephone service will be ex- tended to Naugatuck's 5000 tele- phones at midnight tonight, when equipment in the new telephone of flee at 295 Church street will be placed in service.
 Because every telephone number in the city must be changed to maKe possible dial service, telephone users calling Naugatuck telephones are asked to consult the new directory delivered this week when calling Naugatuck numbers after midnight tonight. Other numbers in the new directory are effective immediately.
 E. Leslie Beebe, local manager for the Southern New England Tele- phone Company, said the actual cut over to dial service tonight will require only few seconds. This has been made possible by dupll- cate wiring arrangement, so that the dial equipment can take up Its functions immidately when the old switchboard is cut out of service.
 Following the cutover, the Tele- phone Company will vacate its pres ent rented quarters at Oak street. The business office will be moved to the new building, and most of the regular Naugatuck operators will be transferred to Waterbury. Others will go to nearby exchanges, in ac- cordance with the company's policy of giving continued employment to all regular operators affected by dial cutovers.
 Naugatuck residents will be given an opportunity to inspect their new telephone building in an Open House" June 22-24, for which special displays are planned.

Pastor Estimates $35,OOO Needed to Complete Church, Pay Off Obligations st Mortgage Bonds

of the investor or someone whom he may nominate. The premiums for the endowment contract are paid by the church out of it's current budget.
 S35,000 Needed
 According to the estimate of a contractor, it will require $23,OO0 to finish the interior, so the congre- gation may worship therein. To this must be added $2,000 for furn- ishings. Some old obligations incl dent to the receivership of the orig inal contracting firm amount to $4,319. The interest on the mort gage is paid in advance for five years, and this, with the expenses of the campaign, will total $5,480- a grand total of $35,000. Since every investor is guaranteed the return of his money, it should be simple matter to haise the needed $35,000.
 When the campaign for $l00,0oO was conducted in 1929, the pledges amounted to $75,000 and were to oe paid over a period of two and one- half years. Then the slump occur red in the fall Of 1929 and as re- suit, about $12,O00 is still unpaid. It is a remarkable situation that with the present structure so far ad- vanced, the debts amount to only $4,319 The church has some other obligations, but these do not have to do with the new edifice.
 West Side Hill Methodist is the only Protestant church on the west side of the river between the Third Congregational in Brooklyn, and Bunker Hill Congregational. Both these churches are a mile in either direction from West Side Hill and the nearest downtown church is Sec ond Congregational, almost a mile away. It will be seen readily that West Side Hill is in strategic cen- ter of the city which is developing more and more. It is confidently expected that the congregation of West Side Hill will double itself in a few years after the new church IS opened for worship.

I25O APPLICANTS.
 FOR PARK JOBS.
Only 40 Likely to Be Se- Iected for Summer Rec-
 reatiOn Positions

Final preparations for another busy playground season are under way at the park department office, it was announced by Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin today, and it was further stated that the Rec reational Institute" would be held thsi year in Waterbury from June 28 to July 3.
 The institute this year will be given solely under the auspices of the local park department and at the Hamilton Park pavilion several officials from Hartford and New Haven will be here to asisst in lect- uring to the prospective park de- partment summer employees and the members of the local WPA Emergency Education program staff who also work on the playgrounds during the summer. About 100 per- sons will attend.
 25O Applicants
 The local superintendent said to- day that about 250 applications for playground positions have been filed at the park department office since the close of the regular season last year. This is about the usual num- Der, he said, and from out of this group about forty will be selected, the basis of their selection being the progress they make at the an- nual institute. Appointments will probably be made on Saturday morning, July 3, or the following Monday, all this depending on the amount of time necessary to check the notebooks of the persons who attend the institute.
 There will be twelve playgrounds open this year at the usual loca- ton. Four of the park playgrounds are already opened after school hours, manned by WPA workers. An idea of the task of recreationally educating the members of the park department staff for summer work may be gathered from the following attendance figures released this morning by the superintendent: av- craze attendance at all play grounds during the summer, 12,- GOO children; aggregate attendance, 150,0O0; aggregate attendance at swimming pols, 40,000; aggregate att tendance at wading pools, 15,000.

 Last year some 5000 of the seven to ten year old group in Girl Scouting attended either day or established camps, according to Miss Mirrna Wallace, in charge of the Brownie program for the national organization.

 This year from July IA to 2lst one unit at Camp Wequapauset in Wa terVille will be open to girls of Brownie age, from seven to ten years old. This group is limited to sixteen girls, however, and is al- ready filled. Mrs. Chester F.. Moore of Richmond Hill, New York, who has been working with Brownies and completed an advanced course in Brownie work this past winter IS to have charge of the unit.
 A year ago there was only one Brownie pack in Waterbury, pack No. 1 at Mill Plain Union church, under the leadership of Mrs. Harry Van Horsten and her sister Mrs. Raymond Fowler. Since then seven new packs have been organized. They are:
 Pack No. 2 at Blessed Sacrament church under the leadership of Miss Anne Savage.
 Pack No. in Thomaston, leader Miss Rosa Gangloff, who is also leader of Girl Scout troop in Thomaston. Both groups meet at St. Thomas church hall.
 Pack No. 4 at All Soults church under Mrs. Classen Perkins and Mrs. R. L. Hale.

For four y ears West Side Hill Methodist church, at the corner of West Main and Grandview avenues, has been an empty structure. Its gabled facade and square tower have remained mute to the glory of God. The magnificent stained glass window facing West Main street = one Of the most beautiful windows in all Connecticut - has remained unseen except by a privi- legged few.
 Day ofter day and year after year, the members of the church have been forced to swallow their diSap- pointment and felt themselves help less to open the beautiful edifice to the worship of the Almighty because of the economic conditions prevail ing in recent years. Now new day is about to dawn and the members of the church are girding themselves for the task of raising the necessary funds to complete the church.
 Dream To Be Realized
 Rev. Ridgway F. Shinn, who has been the devoted minister for 22 years and who has maintained un- bounded faith in the realization ot his dreams, expects to see his dream come true early this fall. At a meet ing of the official board recently the plan was approved, with the concurrence of the district superin- tendent, Rev. Lloyd F. Morley, and contract entered into with financ- ing expert. Beginning on Monday a quiet but intensive campaign ot solicitation will begin.
 The plan is different from the usual method of raising funds. NO person is asked to give away any sum of money. The members and friends will be asked to invest in first mortgage bond. The bond IS guaranteed by an endowment life insurance contract placed on the life
