MOVIES NO NOVELTY

American movies were not new
to him. Such things were un.
known in Nam Hoi, but Joe saw
several in Hong Kong while await
ing ship to Seattle.
Since he arrived and was passed
as an American citizen by the
immigration department, Joe has
spent a large part of the time
seeing Seattle with Chinese
friends. He supposed New York
would be something like Seattle,
only much greater.

LIKES AUTOS BEST

What impresses him most about
America?
Joe Reinhart's eyes cleaned.
"The automobiles, he said.
After his reunion with his father
he hopes to become a mechanic,
perhaps bus driver.
In recent years bus line pene-
trated the countryside from Can
ton to Nam Hoi, and in the local
garage Joe found a job. He serv-
iced those buses, tinkered with
them, took their engines apart, un-
til he knows a lot about motor
cars, what makes them go and
why they sometimes won't go.
What does he think of Amer
lean women? Joe shook his head,
smiling, as if he didn't know just
what to think.
American food? What he has
tried seems good enough. Just
now he is staying with Mar Dong,
Chinese hotel and restaurant
owner, an old friend of his foster
father, who dimes on more con

PROPERTY SOUGHT
 FOR PLAYGROUND
East End Community Club to Make Plea at Meet-
 ing Today

Permission to use property at Woodland and HolmStead avenues for playground Curing the sum- mer months was to be asked of the board of education at it's regular meeting this afternoon by the East End Community club. A delegation from the club, headed by President Joseph Brophy, was to attend the meeting.
 The property in question is owned by the board of education, having been purchased for a school site some years ago. The club seeks to have the school board give the park department permission to operate a playground there during the sum- mer months.
 If the board of education gives the necessary permission, the club will then ask the park board to operate a playground at the Fair lawn site this summer. Such playground has been sought for some years by Fairlawn residents.

FISH STORY GOES
 OVER WITH JUDGE
McDonough Shows Leni= ency to Waterbury Lad
 Nabbed With No License

Memory of his fishing days as a youth prompted Judge John F McDonough to grant leniency in borough court in Naugatuck today to Raphael BlinstrubaS, 10, of 1OC Rockland avenue, Waterbury. Judge McDonough fined the youth $5 with out costs on a charge of fishing without license.
 The youth through his guardian ad litem, Probation Officer w. J Baxter, pleaded guilty. c. H. Wells game warden, testified he arrested the youth yesterday while the Wa terburian was fishing at Hop Brook The boy did not have license, he said.
 Judge McDonough remarked that he remembered when he frequently fished at Hop Brook himself with out a license, but that was in the days when no license was required He asked that if the Waterbury youth wishes to obtain license, the game warden recommended that the suspension of year be lifted. Such suspension is automatic after a fish erman is found guilty of fishing without license.
 This was the only case in borough court today.

SERIES OF THEFTS
 ALARM OFFICIALS
Defensive Measures to Be Planned 10 Check Raids
 on Factories Here

Special police measures will be taken to halt the series of thefts and attempted thefts of metal from local factories. it was learned today.
 In the past several weeks there have been approximately dozen breaks into local factories, the loot in each case being nickel anodes or other metal In addition there have been several unsuccessful attempts at factory breaks, the burglars be- ing scared away by burglar alarms or by the approach of someone.
 Police blame one gang for the epidemic of metal theftS. The group responsible was almost captured Saturday night when a Watchman at the Waterbury Buckle Company found four youths stealing nickel anode vailed at $600 They fled empty-handed before he could se- cure assistance.
 The loot taken in the series ol blrglaries is valued at several thou sands of dollars. Police have been attempting to trace the metal but have not yet been successful.
 Factories in every section of the city have been victimized by the gang. In addition, there have been several similar crimes in nearby towns which are probably the worE; of the same group.
