YD Club Praised For Assisting Boys
Dam At Boys Scout
 Camp Is Completed
Work on New Site Near Mt. Tobe Progressing Rapid
 ly-Council Membership l,42O

Work on the new Boy Scout camp near Mt. Tobe, in Plymouth, is progressing very well, according to bulletin issued from scout head quarters today. The dam has now been practically completed, and the work on dredging out of the swim ming area should start in few days. After this has been done, 1t will be necessary for the pond to fill before the camp ca nbe opened for use. The time for the opening is still indefinite, as the weather will determine just how long a time will be required for the pond to reach the proper level for swimming and other water activities.
 At present 8 staff is being main- tained at the camp, consisting of Sandy Donohue, assistant scout exu ecutive, Charles Hoebel, one of the Jamboree leaders of last year, and Chester Spiers, assistant scoutmas- ter of Troop 2, who attended the National and World Jamborees last year.
 Scout McGregor is assisting as an aide. This staff will be glad to assist in working out plans for overnight camps, troop picnics, hot dog roasts, or day hikes, until the camp is ready for longer camping. It is sug- gested that any troop might ar- range a meeting some evening at the new campsite, hike over the camp boundaries and look over the various sites that will later be available for troop camping.
 Camp Morris Buck is also avail able for those troops who have ob- tained permission and approval for their camping plans, and which meet the minimum requirements. Until the new camp is ready, ar- engagements will be made whenever possible, for local scouts to attend other nearby camps, such as Camp Irving.
 It was also announced in the bulletin that the local council of scouts has made great strides in membership and advancement since the beginning of this year. In the first six months of this year, there

0uestionnaires were being distrib- utod today to most of the city em- ployes by representatives of Griffen- hagen & Associstes, the audit firm currently engaged in making sur- vey of city affairs.
 The questionnaires seek an out line of the duties of every ennloye, heads of departments and officials, as well, and the heads of depart ments have been requested to check all information given and to ap- prove each set of questions and answers.
 Controllers Office
 First of the departments appar- ently under scrutiny by the survey officials was the controllers office where the Griffenhagen workers started last night on their consid- eration of Waterbury's governmental mechanism by which economies are to be sought.
 Thereafter the health, police and other departments were visited and copies of the questionnaires left with department heads. This is the move planned as collaboration with the boards of finance and aldermen with Mayor Frank Hayes in the insti- tuting of program of drastic econ- omy to meet the increased welfare costs and to outline the budget for next year.
 Started Yesterday
 Study of the city's government was started yesterday by E. O. Griffen- hagen, of Griffenhagen and Asso- ciates, following signing of the con- tract for survey of city affairs as arranged at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen Monday night.

Big Brother Clubs
 Interest Lauded At Graduation Program
Court Officials Greet 3l Youngsters on Completion of Probationary Period With Honors; Work of
 World War Veterans Reorganized

Thirty-one boys in their teens. their hands and faces scrubbed to a shine and their hair slicked down, marched proudly into the city court room after the regular morning ses- sion to be graduated" from proba- ton. All had been under the super vision of Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer.
 The youngsters were congratulated by Judge Edward Mascolo, Police Superintendent William J. Roach and Miss Crowley. The names of all were removed from the probation lists because of good conduct in re- cent months.
 The probation officer paid tribute to Joseph Cunningham, past state commander of the I'D, who formed a Big Brother club for IT of the boys. Under his supervision, the club mem- bers took part in sports, enjoeyd so- cial programs and engaged in numerous activities.
 Judge Mascolo and Supt.. Roach praised the youngsters for keeping up fine records both in school and out while on the juvenile probation lists. They urged them to conduct themselves as well in the future.

Broadway for as little as g quarter. If you watch the papers, you can catch the shows given by the Fed eral Theater's four Caravan" or itinerant theaters in one of the parks, and at no cost beyond your attendance, you can see vaudeville, musicals and dramas.
 Along 42nd street there are the double-bill movie grinds. If you keep your eyes open you can catch the big movies only four to eight weeks after they've had their first runs. The charge? Ten cents in the morning, about 25 cents in the evening.
 Nickel Cruise
 Now, how about a nice ocean voyage" for a nickel? At the foot of Manhattan you can take the Staten Island ferry and spend half an hour cruising down magnificent New York harbor.
 For those who like just riding, there are New York's 776 miles of subway and elevated lines. Those who know how can ride most of them for just one nickel.
 Then there's the Bronx Park, Zoo, one of the largest anywhere, and the Aquarium at Battery Park. No charge to visit either.
 One of the most delightful open air dining places in town is the ter- race in the small but lovely Central Park Zoo. A cafeteria inside sells good food at low prices. You fill your tray and carry 1t out to the terrace. There, under shading um- brella, you sit and watch the seals play in their pool, listen to the monkeys chatter, see the beautiful plumaged birds in their cage and let the world go by.
 Finally, there is the wonder land of New York itself. Anyone with curiosity and interest in peo- pie and things can spend a highly interesting vacation wandering through 1t, away from the beaten path.
 Is the town expensive to live in while doing all those things? Not if you know how to live here at moderate cost. There are numer- ous residence-club hotels where one can obtain 8 clear, airy pleasant room for as little as $5.5C a week. And food need not be a problem in city where dozens and dozens of restaurants feature 8 regular supper for fifty cents.

CURRENT TREND IN
 STATE POLITICS
BY EDWARD J. RYAN.

Democratic nomination for Lieu tenant Governor. Tone has stated that should he be elected as lieu tenant governor he will resign his position as Labor Commis- sioner, 8 post which he has held eight years, during which time he has created a remarkable record. Tone, under the advice and help of Governor Cross brought labor conditions in this state up to par with the best state in the Union. This, in itself is an out standing piece of work, especially if one stops to remember that labor conditions in this state up to a few years ago, were among the worst in the country. Sweat shops to a very great extent have geen wiped out, and strikes have been amicably settled, since Tone be- came Connecticut's Labor Com- missioner.
 have said on numerous Occas- ions that Clarence Willard, Re- publican Central Committeeman, is still the undesputed boss of New Haven Republican politics. My contention proved to be correct this week when the New Haven County Republicans met in East Haven and voted down a reso- lutiOn which would have the party go on record urging a purge of the state central committee of all members who have been involved in the grand jury probes of the Merritt Parkway and the Water bury Scandal. Williard's influ- ence was felt at that meeting to no little extent.
 It seems an accepted fact that the Republican State Central Commit tee, when 1t meets next week, will urge a purge" of the committee of Willard, John Buckley, Charles Williamson ,and companies. But the efforts of a FEW of the mem bers who want to see the purge adopted will fail miserably. Every member of the G. O. P. State Gen. tral Committee owe their appoint ments to that body because of the influence of Harry E. Mackenzie and Clarence Willard. There will be no Purge" now or after the elections.
 Here is what the Bridgeport Times Star" has to say about Charles P. Harrington, Litchfield County Commissioner; Captain Charles P. Harrington, Litchfield County commissioner and head of the movement to oust United States Senator Augustine Lonergan, was in Danbury yesterday comforting with local Democratic leaders. Captain Harrington received little sympathy locally as Danbury Democratic leaders are out spokenly for Lonergan's renom- nation"

tary of the Republican State Gen. tral Committee and leaders of the Young Republican Club of Con- necticut, including Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., and Lewis E. Goodsell. This i'll feeling will not be healed for long, long time, if ever.
 Paul Cornell is certainly cover ing a lot of ground in his attempt to win support for his ambition to secure the Republican guberna- t0rial nomination. Cornell has addressed a number of County Republican organizations in his campaign thus far. However, Raymond Baldwin of StratfOrd, former Republican house leader, will no doubt get that honor, just as John A. Danaher will be the Republican choice to oppose Sem ator LOnergan.
 Socialist leaders in Bridgeport are plainly worried over their po- litical futures now that Labor Commissioner Joe Tone has form ally announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor. Jasper Mo- Levy has been confident that he would poll large vote this year, the greatest of his political career. He was confident, too, that three socialist senators would be elected to the state senate. Now that Tone is in the campaign McLevy and his lieutenants are doubtful of the outcome of the election in Bridgeport. Both Cross and Tone are very popular with the residents of Bridgeport and will carry a great deal of weight with the work ing masses of that city. No longer can the Socialists in Bridgeport be heard claiming to the high heaven that they would have a voice in the state senate when 1889 rolls around.

 The casualties are thought to be small, since the bulk of the population fled to the country af- ter yesterdays destruction, in which four hundred were report ed to be killed.
 A number of Foreign Consuls at SWatow are said to be urging the Nationals to evacuate, and that the United States and Bri- tain is prepared to provide refuge aboard their gunboats.

Freeman Reported Japanese Fishing
 Ships Sailed

SEATTLE. July ?, (P-Miller Freeman, chairman of the joint committee for protection of the Pacific Coast fisheries, reported the departure of the Japanese fish ing fleet, which he said had been operating in the Bristol Bay sal mon area.
 Freeman said the message was from Captain J. A. Alger of the Coast Guard of the Boring Sea Patrol, and disclosed that 'All Alien fishing vessels as well as the factory ship which they serv- ed, had departed the from Bristol Bay area, but gave no informa- ton of the vessels destination. Chairman Freeman further said that there was only one floating cannery to ten service vessels. The steamship Maru was report ed in Boring Sea this season, and was accompanied by a fleet of smaller vessels, apparently con- centrated on fishing and canning of crabs and cod fish.
 He also said the news of the Japanese withdrawal was plain evidence of the committee's effor Is 70 disclose the serious nature of the problem arising as result of encroachment of Oriental op- erations upon coast fisheries, and has born fruit, not only in this country but Japan as well.
 The departure of the vessels at the time when the season opens in May, indicates, Fresman said, that the Japanese wish to remove any suspicion that their fleet was operating against the salmon run.
