CHAPTER vi.

- UNDAY brought wind and rain,
but not enough of either to
keep DR., Bill Elliott away from
- the Adair home. He had been
going there for Sunday dinner ever
since he came home from medical
school. The aunt who kept house for
him was a notoriously bad cook. AS
q rule he came to dinner while Joyce
was washing the breakfast dishes, but
today he had been delayed. Mrs. Sam
Hepp had brought the ninth Hepp
baby into the world at breakfast time,
and 1t was almost noon before Bills
car ratified into the Adair driveway.
WAS it a nice baby, Bill?" Joyce

she cried, and then her eyes went to
her father. "You handle the anes-
thetic, dad"
DR.. Bill Elliot came to life suddenly.
He took the knife from DR.. Nc
Cracken's resistless fingers and bent
over the patient. Dr.. Adair checked
the pulse, nodded shortly to Bill, then
was allowing the chloroform to drop
on to the cone-shaped napkin.
Joyce watched DR.. Bill with pride.
Coolly, methodically, he took over the
operation If there was famous,
more skillful surgeon present he
seemed to have forgotten it.
Watching his blunt fingers move
swiftly, with never a lost motion,
Joyce felt fascinated, breathless, feel
ing that she was merely an extra
pair of hands, obeying DR.. Bills brain
and not wanting to be anything
more than that.
Hastily-yet without haste-Dr. Bill
made that first deft incision in the
skin, dividing skin and underlying
tissues.
"Retractor!" he snapped at her
suddenly, and she placed the instru-
ment in his hands. He placed it, told
her to hold it, then cast an inquiring
look at DR.. Adair. who had just
checked the pulse. DR.. Adair nodded,
frowning.
It was necessary to resect q rib be-
fore that punctured artery was found
and the damage repaired. Joyce felt
that she was In a dream as she
watched DR.. Bills hands moving, set
ting the fractured rib. joining the
ends Of the resected rib, fingers flying,
finally, with needle and sutures.
She came out Of the dream when
her father removed the napkin from
the patients face, when DR.. Bill
stepped back. signing his relief. She
experienced curious tingling of the
nerves as she looked at DR.. Bills
face, realizing that she had been al
most a part of him during the oper-
alton. They had been like one person
in thought and sympathy.
She wondered, duly, il this was
the sort of thing for which she had
been put into the world-to face the
harsh realities beside a man who also
faced them. She shook her head
resolutely. putting the thought firmly
aside.
She raised her head, to find that
DR.. McCracken was standing by the
table, and knew somehow that he
had been standing there for some
little time. He was staring intently
at the patient.

 Others interpreted the move as a
 play" for support of young Demo- crats, who recently went on record in favor of the New Deal and it's pol icies, labor groups which will endorse candidates and stump for them, and other individuals planning to vote for Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport, as governor.
 Meantime, at Thompsonville, a group of Italian fraternal organiza- tions adopted a resolution criticizing Sen. Lonergan for failing to support the New Deal.
 The meeting pledged its support to the candidacy of Archibald Mo- Neil, Bridgeport, former national committeeman, for the senatorial post. McNeil is the only avowed candidate against Lonergan, all though Rep. Herman P. Kopple- mann, Hartford, was understood considering declaring himself.
 The Italian group also opposed renomination of Secretary of State c. John Satti, New London. It rec commended instead the candidacy of Dr. Carl L. Scavotto Enfield.
 The Somerville unit of the Textile Workers organization committee, a Committee for Industrial Organiza- ton affiliate, last night adopted a resolution supporting McNeil for the senatorship.

 Total cost of the paving program will be slightly more than $500,00G Of this amount, the government vii contribute 45 per cent, with the city paying the remaining 55 per cent The city's share will be paid from funds gathered by the sale of street and general improvement bonds.
 Employment
 In the paving program are North Main street, Watertown avenue South Main street, East Main street Bank street, and West Main street The paving will be begun as sool as possible after government ap. proval is given. Bids will be adver. tised and the projects will give ern. ployment to scores of Waterbury residents.
 Now underway are the paving oA Baldwin street, from Washington street south, and the paving oi South Main street, from Lounsbury street south. Both are under super vision of the state.
 Last year, new pavement was laid in a wide area around Exchange Place. Willow street was paved, as was another wide area at West Main and Meadow streets. Homer street, in Waterville, was paved, as was Congress avenue.
 PWA Grant
 The paving projects are listed by the city as second in importance to only one other proposed project, the construction of the Mad River in terceptory sewer. A PWA grant for this york will also be sought by the mayor.
 The most expensive of the con- templated paving projects will be Bank street, where the laying of pavement from Center to Porter streets will cost about $178,000. Sec- ond most costly will be the paving of Watertown avenue, at cost of $118,000.

balloted on the proposal Thursday night and yesterday. The results were announced today.
 No Wage Increase
 The company proposed that the drivers agree to work for the ensu- ing year under the same conditions, including hours and wages. As in the past, the closed shop is not to be recognized according to the pro- posal. It is understood that the drivers declined the proposed agree ment because no provision was made for wage increases.
 Officials of the c. R. & L. declined to comment on the situation. Charles H. Chapman, manager of the Water bury district said that 1t was not within his province to comment.
 Paul Rust, general manager of the company, when reached at his Bridgeport office, stated that the question of future conferences re- garding alterations of the proposed agreement would come under the jurisdiction of Walter Carr, vice president. He said that MT. Carr
 
 had been called away from his bus siness activities for at least a couple of days due to illness in the fam fly. He will not return for some tlme," he said.
 Prior to the vote which started Thursday, there had been confer- ences between MT. Carr and officials of the union, according to MT. Rust. The latter said that he expected additional conferences would be held when MT. Carr returns.
 No Results Net
 Four other cities, where main branches of the c. R. & L. are located, balloted on the question, but MT. Rust said that he had not been informed as to the coutcome in any location but Waterbury. Other cities where drivers balloted on the proposed agreement were: Norwalk, Derby, Bridgeport and New Britain.

 Mail Popularity

Since AirmaiI Week was ob- served in Waterbury from last May 15-21, the amount of out going mail which has been sent by air has increased 10 per cent, Postmaster Charles Babin said yesterday. Several thousand letters are nov sent by airmail from the local post office every week.
 Local business concerns are finding that airmail is a rela- lively speedy and satisfactory means of communication. From here to Chicago, for example, it is "A hours shorter than the regular mail. Any mail sent from the Waterbury post office on one day will reach Chicago at 8:15 the following morning by air. Another factor in the growth of airmail communi- cation is that more complete reports and records may be sent by mail than by other means of communication.
 An increase has also been noted in the proportion of in- coming mail which is carried by air, MT. Babin reported.

 Thousands were leaving the city this morning and afternoon for shore, lake and mountain resorts. Nearby lake resorts expected large crowds today and tomorrow as re- sult of the heat wave.
 Yesterday was excessively humid, < making the weather much more un- comfortable than the temperature would indicate. Shirt sleeves for men and sleeveless dresses for wo- men were the order of the day to- day as the city perspired.

TONE TO RUN
 FOR LIEUT.. GOV.
Continued from Page D

 I will devote as much time as pos sible to the campaign.
 "The nomination will be sought by me solely on the basis of my rec ord as labor commissioner and if given the nomination by my party will go before the voters of Con- necticut on that record.
 Tt will be for them to rule on the accomplishments of the state department of labor during the sev- en years of my term as commiS- sioner."
 Governor Cross was faced with the dilemma of having to decide between two opposite political philosophies- left and right-as well as to make up his mind which of his two per- sonal friends to support for lieuten- ant-governor.
 The governor is 76, and many feel he will retire in 1940, If he is re- elected this fall. Others, however, state he will run forever.
 If the governor decides he needs left-wing support to gain reelection, observers said, he will demand Tone as his running mate. If he believes the state is conservative and anvi- New Deal, these quarters said, he will demand HeWes, formsr assistant secretary of the treasury and anti administration.
 The battle over the lieutenant governorShip was tied closely with the bitter squabbling over the U. s. senatorial seat held by Lonergan.
 New Dealers are demanding at least one of the contested senatorial and lieutenant-governorshopp posi- tions. Labor groups are threatening to bolt to the standard of Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy, expected to run again for governor. They were reported even considering placing their own ticket in the field.
 Some reports, entirely unsubstan- tiated, were that the governor, if he believed he could not be reelected this fall, would not seek the nom- nation.
 He was represented as being non- committal on all candidates at the present time, preferring to let the left and right wing groups of the party battle it out among them selves.
 With Senator Lonergan due back from Washington Monday, observers expected a showdown fight on the senatorship.

 Explaining its renewal of the de- mand that foreign warships be painted in bright colors, and in ad- dition fly streamers, the Japanese navy expressed regret at the pre- vious refusal of foreign navy con- manders to comply with the Jap anese request. It said that exper- fence had shown that Japanese pi- lots were unable to distinguish the flags painted on awnings of foreign ships without descending low enough to be endangered by Chin csc anti-aircraft gun fire.
 When the Japanese first made their demand that foreign warships be painted, preferably red, they met curt refusal from foreign com- manders in chief.
 It was believed that renewal of demand was connected directly with a severe-and apparently effective Chinese airplane bombing campaign in the Yangtze valley, where Jap anese troops with the cooperation of a big fleet of warships are trying to force their way to Hankow, emer- gency Chinese capital.
