Poor brother fox was the center of much attention, as he cantered around the chicken yard trying to find an avenue of escape. Evi- dently he wondered if the city had instituted a new Fox Hunt ing Squad" to eliminate theft of chickens from the coops of rural residents. On the spot he undoubt- edly resolved never to venture near a chicken yard again.
 Just a Pet
 Fire officials, in investigating the situation, after the fox had been captured, found that the animal was pet, the property of 8 Mill Plain resident who had often been seen leading him about the streets with leash. He was taken into custody by Officer Martin, who was still seeking the owner at press time.
 Had the operators at headquar- terS understood the situation when the alarm was first regis tered they would have sent Engine toSthe scene alone, for as ofn- cials say, They're out in the woods, and should understand the intricacies of trapping wild anil mals." Engine Il of Town Plot might have been substituted if Engine 5 had been unavailable, was the remark of one official, but Engine 2 and Truck men might just as well have stayed in their stations.
 No Grounding
 They're city slickers, and wouldn't know the first thing about bringing home the fox broom" it was said.
 Other officials were of the opin- ion that if the animal had been a ground-hog instead of a fox, there might be different story to be told.

 AIR MANEUVERS
U. s. Army Bombers to Perform Near Here

Waterbury will probably have grand-stand seats for the aerial show that the United States army will hold in southern New England at date in May, yet to be selected. Either Springfield, Mass, or New Haven will be the base for the planes, eighteen in number, parti- cipating in the maneuvers.
 The maneuverS are expected to last for two full weeks. 50 that there will be ample opportunity to view the planes wheeling in battle fornla- ton, and executing other intricate air formations. Crews of from six to eight men will be carried by each plane, which will be bombers.
 According to information from New Haven, where Col. Lewis l., Field, commanding oficer of the 102nd Infantry, who has been in contact with army officials on the maneuvers, there is a possibility that Springfield will be the actual base of all operations with New Haven forming an auxiliary.
