 The haunted house was locat- ed on the Thomaston road at what was then called 'Bung-town' because 'bungs' for barrels were made there. We children got kick watching the process of mak- ing 'bungs,' which was noisy and full of action.
 Daniel Carter was the owner of the 'haunted-house' place. He didn't live in it himself. It was FOR RENT cheap to anybody who had the nerve to try it. Sev- eral took it on a dare but no one stayed long. The souds they heard and the sights they saw in that house were too much for human endurance.
 MT. Carter owned lot of land around 1t, and there was one field full of 'rattlesnakes,' where he set some iron snares that interested us children, but we kept safe distance from the house except when we ran past, 'lickety-cut'
 What did the children do to raise a little spending money in those days?" I asked; the ques- ton awakening a lot of merry recollection on MT. Porter's part.

Although many people hold the opinion that the motor coach is a comparatively new vehicle in the street transit industry, despite its current widespread use, such is not the case, for 1t was IT long years ago that the Connecticut Company first introduced the coach into the transit industry in Connecticut-a far cry back from it's large fleet of $40 big vehicles of today, operating on more than 800 miles of route.
 Anniversary
 In fact, July marks the anniver- sary of the entry of the motor ve- hicle into recognized transit serv- ice in Connecticut. It was on July II, 1921, that the Connecticut Go. began the operation of two buses running between Stamford and Glenbrook. The average route of the first two buses measured only 2.67 miles with an average travel ing distance each month of about $500 miles.
 The new service was expanded slowly at first, but from the humble start at Stamford grew the present extensive system of motor coach

Councilman SharkeJ played an important role in ths campaign for legalization during the hearings before the constitutional convention last week. In his radie talk, he will discuss the efforts madG to legalize lotteries and the objec- tions raised to the adoption of such an amendment to the constitution.
 Psychologists marvel at radios capacity for starting odd catch phrases that run riot among the populace for not particular rea- son. Such, for instance, as the 'Wanna buy duck?" "Soo-oo-o" and "Vass you dere, Sharlie?" of an earlier air era. Aside from "Hi- Ho, Silver!" of Lone Ranger" fame, radio has added few such expressions to the American lingo of late. Now comes one that, acc cording to reports from hither, yon and intermediate points, is catching on with 3 vengeance. It's T must be going now-hel-l0," the nansensical goodbye -in-reverse of Uncle Happy" the dolefully wacky relative of Tim and Irene. The psychologists might point out, if they could stand the mental strain, that most of the radio started expression have been ways of saying "hello" or goodbye" Witness also MT. vallee's "Heigh- ho, everybody" "Schlepperman's "Hallo, stranzer" or Hello, every- body" in the Kate Smith manner and, for goodbye purposes, Boaks Carted's q must buzz off-cheerio" or Fidler's Goodnight to you, and I DO mean you"

lines extending throughout the greater part of Connecticut. Grad ually, in direct charge of the motor lines, the coach came to play a more and more important part in street transit in this state. Tdoay- IT years later-the company's mos tor coaches run substantially more than 100000 miles every month.
 In this state, the greatest growth in the use of motor transit has come since the start of the present decade, beginning with the eco- homie depression. Since that time, each year has seen scores of new motor coaches put into operation. In most places, the bus was a dis tinct innovation since 1880 and that is the reason why few realize that the actual birth of motorized tram sit service began as long ago as 1921.
 Gradual Increase
 During the first ten years of op- eration, the mileage of routes served by motor coaches increased from the meagre 267 miles in 1920 to about 338 miles in 1881. In re- cent years, the motor coach has been employed by the company not only for replacements of trolley op- eration, but also to furnish transit service on many streets and high- ways, where neither street car nor bus had furnished service previ- ously. Thus in the last seven years, the mileage of Connecticut Com pany route served by motor has been considerably more than doubled.

East Main Street Youth 1 Hit; Auto Speeds Away;
 Independents Meet
Brooklyn News

A hit-and-run driver who last night struck a pedestrian on South Leonard street and then fled to- ward Naugatuck was the object of ia vigorous police investigation to- day. The pedestrian, August Farino, E21, of 1882 East Main street and wa treated at St. Mary's hospital for a muscle strain in the lower left 4aeg, and discharged, immediately af- ter having been struck.
 He reported to police that the car, b gray Ford sedan, 1886 or 1897 model, grazed him as he stepped from the sidewalk on South Lean- ard street Two police cars were im- snediately sent to the Naugatuck road to seek the skip-auto, but with out avail Motor Patrolmen Joseph McCrahty, Albert Overton, Joseph Dunphy and James Wagner are as- signed to the case.
 Full enrolment of Republicans in the Brooklyn section will be sought before the last day primary lists are open, July 29, according to plans made last night at a meeting of the Republican Independent Demo- cratic club of three Brooklyn dis tricts at the Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. President Floyd H. Rasmussen pre- sided.
 The club is seen acting as a Fusion organization, with intent to register voters on the Republican list, although other factions of the Independent Democrats, particular ly the club by the same name, seek representation on the Democratic primary list.
 Members of the Brooklyn group urged that both lists be accorded careful scrutiny to insure elimina- tion of "phony" names, both on the primary and the voting lists.
