Pmtails, Black Ducks Here
Full Month ahead of Schedule

A full month ahead of their normal
schedule, fiocks Of black ducks and
pintails. southbound from their North
ern Canadian feeding grounds, are
beginning to drop in at the National
Capital Parks bird sanctuary beside
the Mount Vernon highway.
Although weather prophets Of the
"goosebone" variety may be tempted
on this account to forecast an early,
severe winter, Paul Hodge, in charge
OF the sanctuary, says frankly that
he doesn't know the reason for the
early southwark migration.
1T may be-" he said, that some
blight or disease has destroyed their
food supply in the North"
Mr.. Hodge has just been notified
by the Biological Survey that a can
vasback duck which he banded at the
local sanctuary on Februay S, 1896,
has been shot 1000 miles from WASH
ington at Lake Winnipegosis, Mani
toba. This is a record distance for
any of the TOO to 800 ducks which
have been banded at the local sanctu-
ary during the two years since the
marking was first undertaken.
The duck was shot by Clement
Catcheway. a Canadian Indian Of the
Blood Tribe, who reported finding
the band on the birds leg to F. H. H.
Williamson Of the Canadian National
Parks Bureau at Ottawa. who in turn
notified the Biological Survey.
The previous record for known
travel of ducks banded at the local
sanctuary was to Quebec in the north
and the southern feeding grounds in
Louisiana. OF the total of nearly
800 banded birds only so have since
been reported from foreign" points,
Mr.. Hodge said.
Five birds from the early arriving
vanguard so far have been trapped
for banding purposes, and two of them
were found to be already carrying
local bands placed on their legs last
year by Mr.. Hodge. He estimated that
200 southbound ducks dropped in at
the sanctuary here last night to feed
and rest. Within another 30 days,

Broin TwizzIers
BY PROF. J. d. FLINT.

A LONELY old miser spent most of
his time playing games alone He
was sitting at home one night with a
card table before him, shutting and
reshufiling deck of cards He idly
tossed several face up on the table in
a row. There were nine cards. They
happened to fall in groups. First
there was single card which was q
seven. Next were two together, a deuce
and an eight. Then there were three
together, an ace, a nine and a six.
After them came two more together, a
trey and four. The last was a single
card, a five. As the miser looked at
them it occurred to him that the first
card multiplied by the number %,
which the next pair formed, equaled
the number formed by the center
three. This was not true Of the single
card and pair on the other side. Then
he wondered If he could rearrange
them so that the set-up would work.
It can be done by moving five cards.

JAIL Term FOR
Theft OF TOOLS
Two Youths Arrested Fol-

Two youths were sentenced to Jail
terms and other was placed on pro-
baton this morning in city court
when arraigned before Judge Ed
ward Mascolo on charges Of theft.
They were charged with stealing
more than 800 worth of tools from
the Slocum school woodworking
class,
Salvatore MARITIME, %, of 1873 Hill

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-28

REPORT presented
The principal speaker, Mr.. Jones,
was introduced by William F. Burke,
president of the Waterbury Branch
Of the Merit System Association,
chairman of the meeting; Harold F.
White, president Of the Good Gov
eminent Association, presented the
report Of the Board of Managers
and the program as read by John F.
McLinden, secretary; and Herbert
s. Smith conducted q question and
answer period.
Mr.. Jones related that the Ma
tional Municipal League formerly
had endorsed the Strong mayor
charter" plan Of government, but
had abandoned 1t because of
abuses" in favor of the City Man
ager type, the speaker remarking
that this governmental structure
eliminates machine politics. He
cited the functioning of the City
Manager plan In number of cities
saying that only 20 of several hun
dred have reverted to other forms of
government after trying the City
Manager type.
Attempt to bring current Water
bury scandals" into the question
period resulted in Mr.. Whites re-
marking that he thought the cause
was due TO the fact that "out of the
total number Of persons who go to
the polls on election day, only a
small proportion know what they
are voting for"
Political Contacts
Mr.. Jones remarked that the city
manager form inspires young
career man to attempt to rise to
eminence in civic affairs through
efficient administration of his Job
rather than to hang onto the
political escalator and rising only
because of political contacts" The
form of government Is a business
process, he said, with voters elect
ing small council To act as a
board of managers as In COM
mercial concern where the stock
holders function similarly. The
council, in turn, appoints the city
manager. The board is responsible
IOr running Cile BoVeTLIleHC d.
though the city manager Is liable
for actual conduct of the plan.
Waste, he said, is cut to mini
mum by this procedure and the
council cannot allow excess ex-
penditure beyond any budget. The
speaker commented on the situation
in Berkeley, Cal, where, he said, the
tax rate has been reduced consist
emily under the city manager gov
eminent; the fire loss was reduced
to $.25 per capita, as against a
national average Of $3.50; the NOR"
tally rate was one Of the lowest
in the country. The same facts, he
said, apply to New London where
reductions Is taxes, redemption OF
bonds and return of salary cuts have
resulted within the last two years.
Lower Tax Rates
Mr.. Jones also cited Teaneck, N.
j.; Dallas, Texas; Bangor, Maine;
Cincinnati, Ohio, and Front Royal,
Va, as examples of how well the
city manager has worked, making
lower tax rates possible while re-
ducing debt and in some cases pill
ing up cash surplus.

BOARD PURCHASES
NEW AERIAL TRUCK
Controller to Place Order
With American LaFrance
Company Shortly

Following out recommendations
made yesterday at special meet
ing of the board of fire commits
sioners, Controller Sherwood l.
Rowland Is expected to Immediate
ly place an order with the American
LaFrance company for a new So
foot aerial ladder truck, which will
cost $17,731.27. The company prom
ised TO deliver within three months.
At the present time all fire appar-
atus in use in the city is of Amer
lean LaFrance manufacture.
Three other bids by other COM
panles were considered at the
board meeting yesterday. Control
Ter Rowland is not required to fol-
low the boards recommendations
as he is purchasing agent, but it is
expected that he will. Charles c
Foster of the controllers staff was
a member of the subcommittee
which made the recommendation to
the fire board.
The LaFrance truck is equipped
with steel ladder, puncture proof
inner tubes, 12-cylinder engine,
and all other specifications of the
board. Some question arose as to
the superiority Of duralumin or
steel ladders, but Mr.. Foster quoted
from report by DR.. Wilkins, vice.
president of the Revere Copper g.
Brass Company, in which 1t was
stated that duralumin loses 80 per
cent of its strength at a temper
allure which would char wood lad
ders.
Other bids received were: Peter
Pirsch Co., $17,404; Walter Motor
Truck Co., $4,000; and Seagrave
Corp, $18,398 The budget provid-
ed for expenditure of $4,000.
