a citizen of his adopted country.
Domenico tried twice-once in
1910 and again in 1917. The first
time there were no Americaniza-
ton schools for the foreign born.
In 1917 they had just started, but
Domenico was working too hard to
think of school.
Now, comfortably fixed. he is
living in fine house on Bladens-

married years ago and a garden
filled with Italian beans, tomatoes

encouraged by Filomena's success,
he is going to keep on until he,
too, wins that coveted citizenship.

ALDERMAN BOARD
 MEETING TONIGHT
Committee to Report on Coming Amendment, Af=
 fecting Liquor Places

Threat of long, hot session con- fronts the board of aldermen to- night with two controversial mat ters scheduled for hearing. One of these is the veto of Mayor Frank Hayes of the Republican organiza- tion move to attempt investigating all city departments" explained by the resolutions proponents as de- signed to attempt economies"
 The report of the committee of five, Aldermen c. Arthur Dubois, George L. Kingston, Joseph Reiner, Ernest P. Belval, and Frank x. Ber- gen, on the proposal to amend the zoning ordinance in relation to ll- quor establishments, is expected to fill the aldermanic chamber with property owners and others inter- ested in both sides of the matter.
 At the public hearing held two weeks ago, a group of property own- CTS attacked the measure but all present were agreed that the amendments announced purpose, the limiting of liquor-selling estab- lishments in Waterbury, lis a step in the right direction"
 Edward J. Ryan, appearing in be- half of the ordinance, told the group and the committee that Hartford, Bridgeport, Stratford and Danbury are among the Connecticut cities which have adopted the ordinance and have found it very beneficial he added.
 The proposal is for preventing a tavern, hotel, liquor package store or grill from being established with in 1000 feet of another, not to affect those presently operating, however. Should a liquor establishment be closed for 30 days, another liquor establishment may not open on the same site. Another clause Is the re- stricting of places described from sites within 200 feet of schools, churches or other buildings used for public purposes.
 MT. Ryan contendeI that the state liquor laws left to the municipalities the limiting of the number of sell- ing places in any city. The ordinance would, he said, provide teeth" to Keep the liquor QealerS we'll WlGIllIl the laws in order to protect their investments.
 Others remarked that the estab- lishments should be licensed in proportion to population and the property owners declared that they would be subjected to hardship in the matter of future leases by opera i ton of the 1,000-foot clause and the 30-day closure proviso.

Various Articles to Be Loaned to Children of City; Plans Underway to Establish Distributing Agencies
 in Various Sections; Local Agencies Cooperating

first sight one might be entering the toy department of one of our well equipped city stores. Articles are agreeably arranged. Toy pianos brightly vanished and painted show off to great advantage with phal- anx of other musical instruments. All about are doll carriages, large and small, and dolls, dolls, dolls! There is no type of toy that is not represented in this bright colored array in the Toy Shop. There are bicycles and bears, dolls and drums, wagons and whistles, engines and erectors-well, in fact, the toy per- sonnel runs the whole range of the alphabet, as completely as set of blocks, of which the Toy Shop is not lacking.
 A three-foot shelf runs the entire length and width of the room, brightly painted with the toys ar- ranged in attractive order. They will remain SO placed for inspection until they are placed at points of distri- button when the library starts to function Thursday. At that time they will be distributed from the Boys club at Cottage place, where children from the ages of 5 to 12 may call and rent toy in the same manner that they rent book at the library and its branches. Later there will be other points of distribution. All toys at the present time are spic and span, fresh and clean, and as the lending goes on they will be kept in repair or replaced by others as they become too used. Adjoining the main display room of the Toy Shop at the Mulcahy school is a finely equipped workshop, where five men are at work at their carpenters bench, with long workable. There they add parts, reassemble bicycle and velocipede parts, paint and re- store toys to an almost new appear ance. Women workers outfit dolls and other work in the project.
 Mrs. Scott Director
 Experimenting the entire work, which is a state WPA project is Mrs. F. A. Scott of 587 Willow street. She is at the shop from early morning until late afternoon, and those who are interested in adding to the pres ent equipment may call her at the shop, telephone 4-8555, and make arrangements with her to call for donations, or give any information you may wish regarding the enter prise. The length of rental time of the toys is one week, after which they must be returned to the Boys club. Dolls clothes will be fresh ened and laundered after each rent. al. And cleansing and sterilizatio will be provided in the handling of all toys. It is the plan to open soon branches in the North End and the Brooklyn districts of the city. The Toy Lending Library has the recommendation of all Waterbury's leading clubs and social agencies. It gives a wholesome pleasure to chil- dren and furnishes occupation for many at this time who have no jobs.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-04

The new Toy Lending Shop, lo- cated on the third floor of the Mul- cahy school, will be open for irlspec- tion tomorrow morning. Visitors are invited to come up to Fairmount street to see the wonders that have been accomplished in toy-mending since this project was first launched in the city a short time ago. The inspection will continue Wednesday, the hours for both days from 10 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. The Toy Shop officially opens as a library for distribution of toys on Thursday. All children of the city, from public and parochial schools are especially invited to see the ver- itable Toyland located in the large airy room of the school, all newly painted and decorated, bright win- dow boxes adding a bright touch.
 5000 Toys
 The Toy Shop has an equipment at the present time of about five thousand toys in good repair. On

Formulas For Making Roads
 Safe Outlined By Experts

New Haven, Conn, April 4 -(U. P)-Formulas for making Connec- ticut highways safe were outlined by highway experts today before the first state street and highway safety conference.
 Chief Engineer Wilbur L. Cross, Jr., of the State Motor Vehicles De- partment, asserted additional safety could be attained on the roads by adoption of the following:
 1. Frequent re-examination of drivers.
 2. A day speed limit of 50 miles per hour; night limit of 40 miles per hour.
 3. More rigid enforcement of the highway laws.
 4. Continuation of the semi-an- nual motor vehicle inspections.
 Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael A. Connor, asserting Con- necticut's method of examining prospective operators was the best in the country, added there still was room for major improvements. 
 We believe improvement in the situation could be made" he said, If through confidential sources we were able to secure the opinion of members of the medical profession regarding persons who are being treated by them for some defect that would make the operation of a ,,, otn,. x,oI,iola l,o ,-fl
 He urged courts, police depart ments, and the general citizenry who have information about cer- tain operators to send ill such in- formation to the Motor Vehicle De- partment.
 "A reduction in accidents is bound to come," Connor said, with the denial to certain individuals of the

privilege of operating motor vehi- cleS."
 Former Motor Vehicles Commits sioner Robbins B. Stoeckel, now a Yale University lecturer on trans portation, urged communities to perfect statistics reports to aid high way engineers.
 Engineers should look more care- fully" he said, toward securing statistics which will indicate habits formed by operators and to the observance which is given to engin- eering direction and planning.
 "It seems strange that there has been no study of the effect on op- orators of what has been done for their guidance and control and their reaction to these measures"
 President James L. McConaughy of Wesleyan University suggested a reward plan for safe drivers as a means of reducing the number of accidents.
 Rewards" he said, "are phycho- logically better than penalties"
 State Education Commissioner Ernest w. Butterfield said start has been made in teaching children safety consciousness"
 "Very deliberately" he said, "we have set ourselves to the task of saving children among machines.
 Walter S. Paine, head of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, En- gineering Inspection Department suggested contests sponsored by concerns among their employees for the best driving records.
 pr. Herbert J. Stack, director of the educational division of the Ma tional Conservation Bureau, urged more driving courses for young
