CROWDS ATTEND
 .LENTEN RITUAL
Ash Wednesday Programs in Catholic Churches
 We'll PatrOnized

All avialable pews in all Catholic Churches of the city and vicinity were filled last evening as Lent's six weeks of penitence officially opened. The services in all the churches closed with Symboiical placing of bits of ashes on the forehead of each present.
 Sounding the keynote of Lent with sermons bearing the general title of Remember, man that dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt re- turn" the speakers in the various churches challenged their listeners to substitute concern for the soul in place of providing too plenti- fully for the body.
 The Rosary was said and bene- diction celebrated in most of the parishes last evening. One speaker, looking at the overflow crowd in the church, remarked that faith surely cannot be disappearing for one has only to look over this gathering to know that there is much of it left in the world
 Rev. John Finnerty. O.P., a na- tive of this city, was the guest preacher at the services at the Immaculate Conception Church.
 Rev. Ernest Lamontagne, pastor of St. Ann'S Church, announced that a mission will open in that parish a week from next Sunday. Lenten devotionS at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament will be held every Monday and Friday evenings, it was announced by Rev. Edward Morrison, pastor.

 A police radio system embracing the entire Waterbury area has been favored for years in many quarters. Even before this city had police radio, it was pointed out that one central radio system would be of assistance in battling crime.

Supreme Court to Decide Who's
 Boss" OF Controllers Staff

Final phase of the legal contro- versy started by Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland over the right to hire and fire employees in his new office was reached yesterday when the appeal of Mayor Frank Hayes was presented before the supreme court of errors at Hartford. Judge Edwin c. Dickenson of the superior court recently ruled that the con- troller has the right to hire and that the mayor has the right to fire en- ployes of the controllers office for cause.
 Republican Town Chairman J.. Warren Upson appeared for Con- troller Rowland before the full bench of the court, headed by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie, and Corporation Counsel Charles S.. O'Connor and Claims Attorney Vim cent A. Scully appeared for the city.
 Intent Questioned
 Although MT. UpSon admitted to the court that the mayor has the right to fix salaries, he took the stand that the legislature did not intend that the mayor should have the right of appointments because it specified this power to name sal aries and fix the number of en- ployes but did not specifically men, tion hiring and firing. He claimed that the city manual contained a notation which indicated that va riouS officers on the controllers staff were appointed by the con- troller.
 MT. O'Connor and MT. Scully con- tended that Judge DickenSon, who had described the charter as "am- biguous" and had remarked that the charter did not specifically say that the controller had the right of ap- pointment and removal, erred in his decision.
 Not Specified
 If the legislature intended that the controller should have this right it would have so specified, they argued, instead of giving to the mayor the implied right by stipulat- ing that the mayor is the controlling agent of all city departments and is given control and supervision of all departments.
 In the section of the charter which defines the scope of the con- troller's power it is stipulated that the jurisdiction of the mayor and

Christmas mail that came two months late was received recently by several Waterburians from Hart ford. Behind it lies story.

Connecticut Motor
 Club Undertaking
 New Safety Program
Individuals or Organizations May Compete in Cam paign to Reduce Auto Accidents in State-Dfferent
 Set of Judges to Decide Each Month

local office of the club, with head quarters at 2 Field street, said today that competition is open to all. A different board of judges will select the winner each month.
 The clubs announcement of the safety award is as follows:
 To stimulate increased highway safety activity, the Connecticut Motor club announces the presen- tation of a monthly award. Public recognition will be made of the work of some individual or organization whose efforts have been outstanding in behalf of reduction in automo- mobile accidents. The first selection for this honor will be announced early this month by the board of directors of the motor club.
 Cash Award
 A cash award of fifty dollars, to- gether with a suitable certificate of commendation for valuable contri- button to the promotion of highway safety, will be presented each month to whatever individual or group is chosen in either New Haven or Fair field county, the territory covered by the Connecticut Motor club. The club is the local unit of the Ameri- can Automobile association, ac- knoWledged an outstanding leader of the highway safety movement.
 The adoption of this means an arousing interest in the battle for safer streets and highways and is part of the work of the safety di- vision of the Connecticut Motor club. AS a non-profit, civic organ ization, the club has been working on this problem on a full-time basis The safety division has cooperated with the public officials and groups which have desired assistance in the field of highway safety.
 Speakers Selected
 Speakers have been furnished at assemblies of schools and various adult gatherings. School safety patrols have been organized and helped. Primary schools have been supplied with safety posters and lessons, helping to develop safety consciousness in the minds of &C., 900 children. The high schools have been offered the assistance of the "Sportsmanlike Driving series of texts, published by the national headquarters of the American Au- tomboile association, for use in pre- senting the course in Highway Safety" now required by state law.
 This safety work, promoted by the safety division, has brought the Connecticut Motor club in close touch with all the local leaders in the movement. The club is thus in favorable position to know at first hand who are making the most ef- fective contributions to the cause of highway safety in New Haven and Fairfield counties.
 Safety Promotions
 In making these awards. the motor club seeks to bring to the at tention of the public what can be done in the way of positive safety promotion, instead of the negative treatment of the problem. The club hopes that, by making recognition of some individuals and organiza- tions which are rendering service to the cause of safety, others will be inspired to join the ranks of those already engaged in the battle against automobile accidents.
