Equatorial Crossing
 Custom Ancient
Local Naval Recruiter Writes Interestingly of Antics
 on Ship When Passengers Cross Line First Time

The following is another in the series of articles on the navy and various aspects of life at sea con- tributed by Chief Electricians Mate J. w. McGibbon, recruiter at the To- cal navy station. The chief requests any persons who are interested ir the articles, or in the navy in gen. eral, to drop in and see him or Michael Swatz at the station, on the second floor of the post office.
 The ceremony of crossing the equatorial line is very ancient cus- tom, going back through the cen turies. Usually the preliminary preparations are made by the She'll backs (the real sailors" who have already crossed the line) weeks be- fore the ship leaves port for cruise that will take 1t across the Equator Costumes are obtained, committees are appointed, and the certificates of those who claim to have crossed the line are produced and registered. Loss of a certificate means that the individual has no proof to show that he has crossed and the chances are he will be initiated once again, with more dire results for having stated that he crossed and then not being able to produce proof of having done so. This rarely happens for ordinarily every Shellback guards the certificate most carefully.
 The ceremonies usually last two days. On the day before the line is reached, charges against every Pol lywog in the Ships Company are distributed and all are summoned to appear before King Neptune on the following day to receive, If not justice, at least judgment. On the day the line is crossed, the Polly wogs crawl in manner resembling the name they bear, to the plat form where the Royal Court, in- cluding the King, Queen and Royal Baby, is assembled.

Pioneer Radio Station In City To Go On Full
 Time During Fall
Transmitting Building, Towers Will Be Located on Baldwin Avenue-Increase in Wattage, Area Converge to Be Considerable

actual land clearance work has al- ready begun, will be 180 feet in height and capped with neon beacon lights that will be visible for a dis tance exceeding Is miles.
 With the completion of the con- struction work this fall, WATR will have doubled it's present operating wattage more than two-fold. The increase in wattage means that far greater area coverage for the Wa terbury outlets programs will be possible. It is calculated by the con- structing radio engineers that the station will be heard clearly through out Southern New England, New York, New Jersey and other neigh boring states.
 Presently WATR dispatches pro- grams by special wire from Water bury to other Connecticut cities reg ularly throughout the day through the facilities of the Connecticut Broadcasting System, a regional network that covers Connecticut's five largest cities, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Britain. This policy will be continued with the commencement of full-time operation.
 The studios of the station are to remain in their present quarters at T Grand street. The building at this location has housed the spacious new studios since their removal from The Hadley Furniture Com pany building in September of last year,

nancy is also an aspirant for the nomination.
 In his letter to the delegates chosen at the primary Thursday night, Attorney Tobin calls atten- tion to the fact that he was elected to the state legislature in 1928 and says he suppored every measure that served to carry out the pledges of the Democratic platform.
 Attorney Tobin and MT. Conley were both members of the Inde- pendent Democratic party in the last two city election campaigns. There has been a split in the Inde- pendent ranks since last fall, how ever. Last week, AttorneyiTobin and James J. Hartley, chairman of the Independent Democratic town com- mittee, secured warrant for the arrest of Walter Scanlon, another Independent Democrat, on a charge of criminal libel. Attorney Tobin charges that Scanlon libelled him in a public statement July 2. The case has not yet been tried in city court.
 Attorney Tobin is understood to have the support of a strong fac- tion. His supporters believe that his chances were improved by Thursday nights primary in which independ- ent ticket entered by ex-Senator Daniel F. Pickett was defeated. Be- fore the voting. leaders of the Smith-Culhane group, who support ed the winning ticket, insisted pub licly that the delegation was "set up" for any candidate This was to counter reports that the delegation had been selected for Conley's bene- fit.

There is a slight doubt, how.
