 The other car was driven by An thony Colangelo of 67 Sperry street, Waterbury. Stanley Strazenski suf- fered cut on the right hand and his father received 8 deep lacera- tion of an eye which required sul- lures. Both were treated by Dr. Leo Tylec.
 Both cars were badly smashed an dtowed to local garages for re- pairs. The accident occurred during a dense fog and 1t is believed this contributed to the mishap.

Western Sales Manager in Naugatuck for StOck=

Naugatuck, April 1.-The chamber report of factories here follows:
 "The Bristol company-This com pany has developed a remote auto matic control instrument for gas distribution systems.
 Maintaining constant pressure at all points in city-gas distribu- tion system, so that every user has an adequate supply of gas at the desired pressure, has always pre- sented many difficulties to gas con- panies. To eliminate these difficult ties, engineers of the Bristol com pany have developed a remote con- trol system, which automatically maintains gas distribution pressure at a uniform value regardless of peak load demand. Being automatic, it takes care of all conditions of load changes, even abrupt ones that occur without advance warning.
 This control system, known as Bristol's Metameter Controller, op- crates on the basic metameter tle- metering principle which has been employed by the Bristol company for the past five years.
 The first system to be installed is in operation at Arlington, Texas.

convinced something was wrong. So he turned in an alarm from Box 25 nearby, which called Acting Deputy Chief Steve Bloomfield, Engine 1 and Truck 2 of Burton street, Engine ' of upper Walnut street and the booster of Engine 10, Fire Head quarters.
 Then he ran up stairs and aroused the occupants of the building, MT. and Mrs. John Crochon and one child, Mir and Mrs. Volney Stoves and three children, MT. and Mrs. Jeremiah Crosley and four children and MT. and Mrs. Stanley Gruzas and three children.
 Lieutenant Mike Cavanaugh and his Engine l crew were the first f1remen to arrive. They forced in the front door of the drug store, and poked their way to the cellar, through the naeusating and smelly fumes that always follow the burn ing of the insulation in connection with an overheated motor. Deputy Bloomfield, veteran of many simi- lar situations, shook himself and entered soon after the others. No actual fire was found by the fire men, just an overheated motor in a refrigeration unit attached to an ice cream cabinet, installed by an out of town concern. It is seldom, if ever the Waterbury Department finds anything wrong with installations made by the local concerns.
 Unit Closed
 The firemen shut down the unit, after "eating and inhaling much of the smoke and fumes. Fortunately, however, the supply line was not ruptured, and none of the refriger- ating compound escaped. The odor was more like burning paint or shellac, used sometimes by the in- staller in dressing up" his unit. Excessive friction or an overload of the circuit itself, due to carelessness sometimes bring about a condition similar to what we found today.
 It was somewhat different from what we found in the home of a well-known citizen Thursday morn ing. The family cat cried so loudly that the head of the household got up and started an investigation. He had harly entered the living room when he detected odors that con- vinced him something was wrong with the refrigeration unit. He pulled the shut off valve, opened the windows and called fire head quarters. Members of the marshal's office accompanied by refrigera- ton expert, answered the call with out delay. We found leak in the coil in the cabinet, in which three pounds of sulphur dioxide were stored.
 The foodstuffs in the house were destroyed, at our request. conse- quently the family went without its regular home breakfast.
 The family cat is more than ever the pet of the household.

Instructed To Report On Various Projects
 Thursday Morning
Government Plans to AllOt Thousands of Dollars for Work in Waterbury, Vicinity-NYA to Inter-
 view Applicants This Afternoon

WPA rolls in Waterbury reached and all-time high today when 89 more Waterbury men were added to the roster, bringing the total em- ployed under this government relief project to an approximate 1,40O. William E. Kennedy, director of WPA work in Waterbury, remarked taht this total is at least as high, if not higher, than the peak reached at the ebb mark of the depression, about four years ago.
 Assigned
 There are approximately 1900 men employed on labor projects and approximately 200 white collar" workers, men and women, engaged In other work. Today's allotment, sent for interviews at City Hall, by the Welfare Department, originally was 106 men but, at noon, just 89 had applied and these were assigned to projects. They will start work Thursday.
 Reason for this is that the group assigned received their last unem- ployment compensation checks the first of this week and now are eli- gible for employment, or re-em- ployment as of next week. They have been waiting to be certified.
 About 50 persons will be inter- viewed this afternoon for placement with the IVA, the Welfare Depart ment announced. Next week there will be further placement of laborers on WPA projects, 1t was also re- ported.
