PLUMBERS ENJOY
 TALK BY WALKER

About 50 men attended meeting of the Master Plumbers association last night in the Colon:a1 Room of The Elton, at which Plumbing h. spector James R. Walker explained the new plumbing ordinance. Presi- dent P. J. Fitzgerald presided.
 MT. Walker explained that the ordinance was adopted in the in- terest of safety, and that he had been assisted by the local associa- ton, local utility companies, state and city health departments, fire marshal, and others in having the ordinance enacted.
 MT. Walker explained in some de- tail the types of pressure and tem- perature relief valves which will hereafter be installed on certain heating appliances, and answered questions raised by many of those present concerning these devices. He explained that Waterburys ordi- nance is similar to that adopted in many other cities and by the state of Connecticut as well, and that it's adoption will improve safety condi- tions for the general public, and eliminate many hazards which otherwise might exist. For exam pie, he pointed out that certain un- fortunate accidents which had oc- cured in nearby cities would have been eliminated had the heating devices in question been properly f1ued. There was a discussion at this point on the fueing of such de- vices and it was agreed by all that the provisions of the code regarding the flueing of these devices was commendable one.
 The Connecticut state department of health in it's recently promulgated sanitary code has laid down cer- tain minimum requirements which MT. Walker explained was an addi- tional reason for the adoption of the Waterbury ordinance. It was the general feeling of all those pres ent thatt his ordinance filled a long felt want, and MT. Walker was given a rising vote of thanks by the group for his clear explanation of the code and it's practical workings.

LOwIy Blackhawks and Leafs Ready-TOrOntO
 9 tO5

Toronto, Ont, April 5 - U.P0 = With the experts trying to hide their embarrassment, Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks to- day awaited the starting whsle for the opening game tonight in the Ma tional Hockey League "upset series" Stanley Cup final.
 Betting odds favored the Leafs, winners of the league championship, at 9 to 5, but rumors of overconfl- dence among the young Toronto players caused their supporters some uneaSiness.
 The Leafs and Hawks dumbfound- ed closed students of the game, threw the experts predictions out the window, and gave the laugh to their more highly thought of rivals by smashing their way into the final playoff.
 Surprise
 The Leafs whacked Boston Bruins in three straight in the playoff be- tween leaders of the International and American sections. The Hawks, who squeezed into the third and last playoff place ahead of the present Stanley Cup holders, Detroit Red Wings, eliminated the highly fam cied Montreal Canadiens and then did the same thing to the New York Americans.
 Leafs and Hawks clash here again Thursday, oto Chicago for the third game Sunday and the fourth game, if necessary, will be played in Chicago April 12. Should the series go to the five-game limit the final will be played here April IA.

WPA was marked during the month and the first week of April, still the number receiving relief is com- parable with that of March, 1885, the record high.
 Obtaining full relief are 2,107; par tial relief, 2,750; institutional, 231; transients, 43. The number of fam flies totals 1,208 and 231 institu- tional..
 While the increase over last month and the month before is not great numerically for the case load, varying from about IS to 19 fam flies, fact of the enlarged program of the WPA indicates that the city of Waterbury would have extreme ly high demand for relief without this recourse of assistance.
 The matter of WPA programs to relieve the city of this load is in 8 crucial state at the present, due to the fact that some of the appro- priations for the city's share in this federal-aid program have been ex- hausted. About $120,000, however, has been appropriated for purchase of materials by the city and the government, within the next five and one-half months, will expend more than $400,0O0 for labor and supplies to meet the city's share.
