Evident resentment against the placing of a ban on bingo games in Waterbury has exploded with a bang. In fact several letters written to The Democrat carried with them a stiff left hook that may or may not be regarded as healthy biff on the official chinS of various officials, It is more than apparent that the advocates of the ban have encount- cred some opposition. Anyway MT and Mrs. Public may get an idea of the reaction developing by scanning the appended letters.
 One writer declares that the city court prosecutors might occupy themselves with more important matters than bingo. The other writer hints that the blame for the ban should be attributed to group Of local ministers.
 Bingo and beano games scheduled for last night about the city were not held. The games were forbidden after Prosecutor Mitchell G. Meyers of city court told Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach that the games were against the law and should be closed at once. This fol- lowed a ruling by the state supreme court of errors in which bank night and similar theater plans were de- clared illegal.
 The games have been run publicly here for some time, many of them being sponsored by churches and church societies. The sudden an- nouncement of the ban came after several organizations had sold hun dreds of tickets for ping games ln the near future.
 The letters read as follows:
 Waterbury, Conn.
 April g, 1888.
 To the Editor of The Democrat:
 So now it's bingo that is forbid den in Waterbury. It's most inter- esting to read about it, for 1t brings several more or less pertl- nent ideas into my mind. l gather that bingo has been forbidden by MT. Meyers, one of the three pros ecutors in our city court.
 MT. Meyers says he finds that bingo is against the law. Why didn't he find so months ago or even years ago? The laws haven't been changed, have they? It seems strange that the lid has to be clamped down all at once, with out any warning at all.
 I've often gone to b1ngo games, and I've been fortunate enough to win a prize or two, yet l don't think that it has instilled in me burning gambling fever. Many of the bingo parties have been run by churches or by organizations which turned the profits over to charity. Now this income is cut of entirely.
 Why not now a ruling against Sunday movies or Sunday base ball. If we are to have blue laws, let's have whole set of blue laws. Let's have people arrested for buying things at the store on Sunday, for kissing their wives on Sunday or for daring to play gol1.
 It often seems that our law en- forcement authorities think more of paying attention to virtually unimportant matters and skip ping the serious ones almost en- tirely Why, for instance, doesn't MT. Meyers, who thinks that bingo is immoral, do something about

voting districts in Waterbury, from 20 to g, will be made at the earlier conclave, it is expected. It has been proposed that the membership be in- creased to 32, but some sentiment has developed for representation by wards, the number of members from each ward to depend on the vote volume of the respective wards at last election.
 Inasmuch as the present rules stipulates that there shall be one female representative on the com- mittee from each ward, problem arises as to whether to retain this provision and restrict female mem- bership, or to give the women pro- portionate increase by allowing dis trictS to elect their own represen- tatives to an enlarged town com mittee.
 Rules governing primaries will be subject to consideration tending to- ward changes. At present, primar- ies are conducted by wards and del- egates are selected on this basis Of representation rather than by vot- ing districts. Tendency is toward the district representation, as by the Democratic method which al- lows either ward or district dele gates to be selected in the primaries.

LiDe, Earn, Pay Collect
 Secret OF Old Age BiU

Uncle Sam has everything pre- pared. Just live and earn and pay and when your 65th birthday rolls around expect the Postman to bring you little monthly remem- brance. You may expect anything from monthly allowance of $10 or $86. You will get, however, only an amount computed on &C., tual earnings. Look the schedule over.
 The accompanying article is the sixth in a series arranged by Rob- ert E. Austin, manager of the So- cial Security Board Field office, 108 Bank street. He is the man who knows all the answers to old-age insurance problems. The Sixth article reads as follows:
 The chief purpose of old-age benefits is to provide a monthly income for industrial and com- mercial employees, who have reached 65 and are ready to re- tire.
 These monthly benefits will be payable on and after January l, 1942.
 Who will receive old-age in- surance in 1942 and thereafter?
 Working people:
 CD who were employed in some factory, mine, mill, shop, store, or in some other line of industry or business, included under the law:
 (2) who were employed part of each year Gone day or more) in at least five different years between January l, 1887 and the day they reached the age of 65;
 (3) who earned as much as $2,OO0 Gin alb between January l, 1937 and the day they reached the age of 65;
 (4) who have attained the age of 65 and retired from their jobs

Bingo! Bango! Biffo!
Resentment Against Ban Playing of Bingo Flares in Waterbury-Suggestions Made to Of- fcials on More Constructive, More Desirable
 Activities.

the smutty and filthy magazines that fill our neWs-Stands? I'm not referring to the recent issue of Life, but to those magazines which weekly and monthly bring the foulest and dirtiest reading and pictorial matter to Waterbury? I think that's a much more serious problem than the playing of bingo. I think our community would be much better served if those maga- zines were withdrawn from sale and their purveyers arrested than by ukase against that terrible game of bingo.
 And that's just one of many things to which our prosecutors might better direct their atten- ton than bingo. How about open violations of the liquor laws? How about the silly enforcement of the traffic laws whereby one man is arrested for reckless driving and another, who does the same thing, is arrested on some minor charge? How about a dozen other things much more important to the city's welfare than bingo?
 It certainly should make the city swell its chest in pride that bingo games are now forbidden. My, what a terrific blow struck in the interests of decency. O, yeah?
 COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. Dear Sir:
 It certainly must make lot of people feel good now that the po- lice have stopped bingo. Maybe I'm wrong but I have sneaking suspicion that it wasn't exactly the state supreme court ruling against bank night that caused it.
 l wouldn't be surprised at all if some of the most gleeful people in town are a certain group of min isters. I mean the same broad minded clergymen who last year made such fuss when com munist picture was kept out of the city.
 It seems to boil down to this: if something is on your side, it's all right; if it's what someone else thinks or what might help some one else, it's no good.

BAUBY CANDIDATE
 FOR KINGS TITLE
Waterbury Youth in Line For Rake Walk Throne at
 Vermont University
Special to The Democrat)


 Burlington, Vt, Feb. 3-Once a year, at the University of Vermont, they toss out the democratic tradi- tion and select a king to rule the campus-for a day or two. But, to keep the thing from running away with their Vermont individualism and give it the ear marks of demo- cracy, they make their candidates for king throw their hats in the ring and campaign for election like any one else.
 This happens when they pick a king for Rake Walk, annual mid winter celebration coming at about the time of Washington's birthday and this year the Rake Walk di- rectors have announced that the lady who wants to be queen, too, must also take the stump in her own behalf. Last year the prospec- tive queens were asked to answer a questionnaire in the college news paper, in order to demonstrate their fitness for the position of queen. This year each king will have a queen to accompany him in his elec- tioneering.
 The gentlemen who aspire to crowns have announced their in- tentions; as yet, the queens-to-be have not been heard from. Candi- dates for the Rake Walk throne include w. c. Langlas, Waterloo, Ia.; with T. B. McHugh of Rutland as his manager; G. A. Bauby, Wa terbuEy, Conn.,, and A. R. Tomas setti, Meriden, Conn.,, as his mana ger; R. B. Steele, Groton, with K. s. Carpenter, also of Groton, as manager.
