NadZO KindO

NadzO KindO
 George s. Kaufman, the play wright, made the amend honorable this week when he offered job to an actor who was the unwilling butt of one of Kaufman's acidulous puns.
 About 10 years ago, Kaufman, then a drama critic, noticed the name of Guido Nadzo in the cast of a show and cracked to an as- sociate that the actor was "nadzo guido" Somehow the gag was re- peated and finally came to Nadzo's notice recently when it was recalled in the reviews of play in which he was appearing, Spring Thaw." Kaufman, embarrassed because he had meant no reelection on the ability of a competent actor. said he would give Nadzo fole in one oi his plays.

members attending the meeting.
Highlights of the years activities as

the market insurance plan, whereby
members are protected from loss Of
their milk market and are guarantee
ed payment for their milk.
1t was stated by Mr.. Hoffman that
during the year ending August 81
the Cooperative handled, found sale
for or paid producers for unsold
milk totaling more than 100000
pounds, with an approximate value
of $4,000. This milk was in excess
of market needs and if not handled

been a most serious threat to the
price of all milk, the speaker declar-
ed. In this connection the speaker
stressed the unusual production con-
ditions which have faced the market
the past several months. Production
has been 10 to 20 percent higher
than a year ago and because of
heavy storage supplies outlets for
excess milk have been exceedingly
difficult to find.
The Cooperative employees ten field
representatives who spend all their
time taking care of marketing prob
lens of the members, finding new
markets, checking weight and tests,
finding and correcting causes of re-
jected milk and similar services.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-23

Willingness to accept the nomi- nation of the Democrat party for the post of judge of probate was expressed last night by Attorney John L. Gaffney, secretary of the Bronson Library board and prac- ticing attorney here for 90 years. Lauding the record of Judge Dem his J. Slavin, who will not seek reelection this year because of inn minence of the retirement age which would mean calling of special election in mid term, MT. Gaffney said:
 "T am not a politician but I would be willing to run and if elected would try to emulate the fine record of Judge Slavin."
 MT. Gaffney is one of several Democrats who have evinced in- terest in the nomination. He has been on the library board for the last twelve years, is past grand knight of the Knights of Colum- bus, and has had experience in probate work in connection with his law practice.
 Although he has not run for public office, he has been active in election work, serving as mod orator in the second wsrd many times during the last 20 years.

STATE ASKED TO
 LBERALIZE LAWS
Legislative Council to Con- slider Genlot's Proposed
 Amendment
Special to The Democrat)

Hartford, August g - The state legislative council was asked yester- day by Harmon A. Genlot, of Wa terbury, director of the Connecticut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers Board of Trade, to iberalize the present state liquor laws. The coun- cil took his proposed amendments under consideration.
 MT. Genlot proposed that l a. m. be set as the deadline for serving liquor, with the closing hour to be based on standard time in the win ter and daylight saving time in the summer. He also asked that permit tees be allowed to sell liquor after the polls close on election day, that permits be limited to one for each thousand persons, that permit fees for hotels be changed and that 25 per cent of the liquor permit fees be retained by the state for better en- forcement of the liquor statutes.
 Another suggestion made by MT Genlot was that restaurant permit fees be reduced from $750 to $500, and that the permits be filed with town clerks rather than in the Su- perior Courts of the state
