MARGARET DECNAN
 NURSE SUCCUMBS
Former Supervisor of St. Mary's Hospital Nursery
 Dies Last Evennig

Miss Margaret Degnan, registered nurse in this city for many years, died last evening at St. Mary's hos pital. A native of Meriden, she re- ceived her early education in the schools of that city and later en- tered St. Mary's Hospital Training School for Nurses.
 In 1919 she was graduated from the training school and for a few years engaged in private duty. Miss Degnan returned to the hospital in 1922 in the capacity of supervisor of the nursery and remained in that position until December 24, 1887, when i'll health forced her to retire.
 Miss Degnan was devoted to her profession and was considered one of the most capable members of the staff of the hospital. She was well liked by her associates at the hos pital and held a position of trust in the minds of the authorities at the institution. She took an intense in- terest in the welfare of student nurses with whom she came in con- tact and her many acts of kindness and assistance won her a host of friends. News of her death will be received with deep regret by her former associates and patients.
 She is survived by two brothers, Edward and Charles Degnan of Meriden.
 Funeral arrangements will be an- i1ounced later.

ANNIE LEAHY'S WILL PROBATED
Document Sets Up, Trust Fund for Husbands
 Benefit

The will of Annie Grace Leally, who died October 13, was admitted today by Judge Dennis J. Slavin in the probate court and the docu- ment sets up trust fund for the benefit of the husband, John A. Leahy, and a daughter, Eleanor Grace Leahy.
 The will provided that the hus- band was to receive one-third of income, the daughter, two-thirds, and what of the principal was deemed necessary as the testator stated of the daughter that "it is my particular desire that my daugh- ter shall receive complete etlu- cation"
 At the death of the husband, the third portion of income was to go to the daughter, if she had att tained 25 years of age, but in the event of her death without issue all income was to go to nieces and nephews of the Mccormack fam- fly.
 A codicil to the will, however, dated May IT, 1923, left $100 to Ed- ward Mccormack of AnSonia, and revoked the section whereby the third income to the husband was to go to the daughter; provided that the entire net income and principal should be the husbands until death, then be distributed to the latetr beneficiaries as stipulated by the will.

WOIcOtt Pays!
Sends First Cheek for Proportionate Share of Probate Court
 Expenses.

Judge Dennis J. Slavin, veteran of 28 years in the probate court of the Waterbury district. which comprises this city, Middlebury and Wolcott, today received the first check ever sent from Wolcott as share in the cost of the court.
 The check for $31.28 was turned over to the controller for the city treasury.
 While the percentage of costs of the two suburban communities in the Waterbury probate district represents only small percentage, Griffenhagen @ Associates and the finance boards economy committee made issue some weeks ago over non-payment of the proportionate share.
 Cost of the probate court to Waterbury was estimated in the present years budget as $1400 for office supplies, postage, printing, etc, $2OO for office equipment.
 The cost to Middlebury is ex- pected to be somewhat higher than the Wolcott share.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-22

Eight reasons why the recom- mendations of the Griffenhagen and Associates concerning the dis continuance of the head of de- partment" system in local high schools should not be adopted, were advanced today by the Wa terbury Teachers and Principals associations.
 Tt would unquestionably curtail the efficiency of our schools and at the same time react unfavor- ably on each pupil now under in struction," according to the state ment issued.
 The statement is as follows:
 "The reasons are so evident to those in service that it seems almost trite to repeat them here:
 l. It would be physically i'm possible for any principal, even when aided by vice-principal, as suggested in the report, to do the very necessary work assigned to department heads.
 g. Department heads plan the various courses, select the most suitable texts, and plan the proper coordination in each course.
 B. Department heads are spe- cialists in their fields; they keep in touch with new ideas, methods, and changes in objectives in their fields - sharing their findings with the members of their depart ments, and adopting those that are most suitable for local use.
 A. They are responsible for all books, and keep records of those lost, those in good repair, those that need mending, etc.

F|REMEN WANT
 MANUAL HOIST
Chief Recommends It for
 New S5; Foot Aerial Truck Being Built

Chief Thomas Cavanaugh will recommend to the fire board at 8 special meeting tonight that man. ual hoist be included as equipment on the city's new 85-foot aerial lad der truck, now being assembled at the American La France Go. plant, Elmira, N. Y.
 Chief Cavanaugh and other off, cials went to New Haven yesterday, and there inspected an aerial lad- der truck in service there. The truck was equipped with manual hoist and operated satisfactorily.
 The manual hoist is for emer- gency use, should something go wrong with the automatic hydraulic hoist for the ladder.
 The American La France Go. last week asked the fire board to change the truck specifications so as to eliminate the manual hoist. The company claimed that, using the hoist, it would take about 40 min utes to raise the 85-foot ladder.
 It is probable that the board will insist that the company carry out the original specifications and place the manual hoist on the truck.

 Chairman Farley was quoted as saying that the conference had not heard the third-term possibility preached and no meeting on this matter was planned. The Democra- tic leader said that reports from his political associates showed that there has been no falling of in popularity of President Roosevelt.

 Meanwhile, from Hartford, came the report of expense of the cam paign expense of the Democratic town committee which showed that $1OO14.46 had been expended, $10,- 085.95 received, leaving a balance of $71.49.
 The purpose of the Jackson Day dinners. which may be held on Jan- uary 2 next year instead of the 8th because the latter date falls on Sunday, is to raise money for organ ization. The feature of the get-to- gether of the Democrats will be a broadcast by President Roosevelt.

Eight Reasons! Teachers Committee Shows Inevitable Curtail- ment of School Departments Efficiency With Adoption of Drastic Recommendations.

"5. They, more than any other one force at work in our schools, formulate the educa- tional policies of the school, and are in very fact the principals cabinet. (advisorS)
 "6. They act as mediators be- tween the public and our schools, representing the schools at conven- tions, clubs, etc.
 "7. In courses, highly special ized, they are wholly responsible not only for the content, but for the standards maintained.
 "8. Perhaps the most vital job is public adjustment = getting the pupil in the right course and in the right section of the course. The principal depends on the heads of the departments largely to get this done.
 'e1n view of the fact that Water bury gets all this service for 8 little more than a dollar day, it seems absurd to us to argue"
