Fugitive Trapped

Fugitive Trapped
The Nick Babich family can
qualify to go with Frank Buck on
his next expedition into the wildS,
for Monday they showed all the
ingenuity necled for capturing rare
birds and bringing them back alive,
though a trifle damp.
The story goes back some time
TO when the Babich family canary
gave birth to a family of her own,
little thimble-like creatures no big
ger than the end of your little
finger One of the tiny bits of
feathers was trifle unfortunate in
the selection of his pedal extreme
ties. He was club footed!
Naturally, little Clubfoot became
the family pet He grew up PAM
pered AMI spoiled and Monday de-
cided to set out and see the world
under his own power. In short, he
disappeared.
Up in arms, the Babich family
organized a search party and finally
located little Clubfoot in tree
quite contented with his freedom
and not at all disposed to come
down. One byene the Babich fam
lily used every trick. But it was
no use. Little Clubfoot was going
TO stay in the tree until quite some
time.
Then one of the Babich family
had an idea that was worthy of a
big game hunter. A garden hose
was dragged out and aimed at Club
foot, the signal given and in the
shake of a canary'S clubfoot the
disobedient bird was wet, bedraggled
AMI in no condition to fly away.
Now little Clubfoet is back in his
cage.

Easter Aftermath
If certain hen on the Raymond
Clark ranch clucks bit more
proudly and puts on a few more
airs, she has perfect right to, for
she put all the Easter rabbits to
shame. Easter rabbits are supposed
to have a corner on all the odd
shaped eggs laid ON Easter, but Mrs
Hen manufactured one that would
completely befuddle rabbit COM
petitor. The egg, laid bright and
early on Easter morning, is over
sized and about a third of it is
missing. The flat end is covered
by a thin "cellophane" covering,
offering a clear look at what the
inside of an egg looks like.
DR.. John Pace, who exhibited the
phenomenon, is about as proud as
the hen.

" Actually, the governor tried to

the Presidents date-maker, Col
Marvin Mcintyre. so he used the
White House today for a sounding

DESERTED BY GUFFEY
The governor is the regular
Democratic candidate for the Sen
ate this fall; but he has been COM
pletely deserted by the once-reguiar
and ever powerful Senator Guffey
of Pennsylvania, who has declared
himself for the irregular Demo
cratic ticket composed of Tom
Kennedy. Go candidate for gov
ernor and S. Davis Wilson. mayor
of Philadelphia, for the Senate.
Mayor Wilson is called Pennsyl,
vania'S political Ben Turpin, be-
cause he has what they call a
"cockeyed" political record up
there-been sometimes a regular
Republican, sometimes a regular
Democrat-somtimeS a little of
each-but always a puzzle.
The whole Pennsylvania bust
ness smacks Of some sort of a
strategic move to help John Lewis,
C1O chief-or to hurt him politi-
cally.
STROKE FOR LEWIS
Senator Guffey's support of
Tom Kennedy. now lieutenant gov
ernor, is openly a stroke for Lewis
who has demanded CLIO represen-
tation on the topmost line of the
State ticket.
Being lieutenant governor is
not enough for Lewis's man Ken
needy. But there is a sneaking
suspicion around the White House
that the Administration distinctly
does not want John Lewis to graz
off too much power in politics
He has come as close as the Inner
Circle wants him to come; and
there is a feeling taht Senator
Guffey's move in supporting en-
irregular ticket with CLIO tinge
to it, has something hidden
therein. The suspicion is that
somehow or other, the Kennedy
ticket will be side-tracked or de-
feated and CLIO Chieftain Lewis
left holding the bag.

COOKE EST SHINE
 SEEKS EXTENSION
Public Hearing Thursday on Application to Extend
 Service to Milldale

The Cooke street Bus Line of Waterbury has applied to the State Public Utilities Commission for per- mission to extend their bus line from Hitchcock's lake, Wolcott, to Dickerman's Corner, Milldale. At this point they would make connec- tions with the Connecticut Con- pany busses.
 Public hearing on the question will be conducted by the commits sion at II o'clock Thursday, in Room 576, the State Office Build ing, Hartford.
 Under the present rights, the Cooke street line operates from the center of Waterbury to Hitchcock's lake. It is planned to operate a limited number of trips daily for a six months trial period to determine if the revenue is sufficient to meet the cost of operation, provided the utilities commission is agreeable.
 Ninty-seven residents of Milldale recently addressed petition to the commission, seeking proper bus service from Waterbury. A fran chise is now held by the New Eng land Company, operating a bus through Marion each day at $50 from Waterbury to Hartford; and 8 p. m. from Hartford to Waterbury.

 Better Driving
 Connecticut motorists are driving better, as the records in the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles seems to in- dicate. In spite of a steady increase in registration and the gasoline tax over the past four years indicating increased traffic flow, there has been a downward trend in fatalities and injuries. This trend is particu- larly noticeable this year as injuries show a reduction from 2,641 to 1,701 as of Wednesday, March 23rd, or thirty-five per cent decrease. Fatal itieS show almost corresponding decrease from eighty-six to sixty. Efforts in safety promotion have shown enough encouraging results lately to spur officials and others concerned with the problem to con- tinue in more intensive program.
 Connecticut has never had a safe- ty conference like this one called for April 4th, and it is the writer's opinion that while other conference of the same nature have taken place in other states, this one of ours is the most complete held anywhere, and includes more agencies and people of authority and influence ever assembled in any community. Safety conferences as rule are apt to include only officials concerned with the problem, and the ideas de- veloped, while excellent ill their character, do not reach out to the motorists in general. The wide cross section of citizens coming to the conference in New Haven should prove much more effective in promoting among the general citizenry and the motorists in parti- cular the lessons to be learned and measures to be promoted as they return to their home cities and towns.
 Public Invited
 No phase of the entiye problem, which includes education, engin- eering, enforcement and the pedes- trian problem, will be overlooked. The general public is invited, of course, to attend any of the ses- sions. but in any case attention should be paid by all motorists to the developments of this confer ence as they appea-' in the press"

they could get other jobs. Are recipients buying the necessities of life with it?
 The State Department of Labor, which distributes the unemploy- ment benefits, has done a little research and answers, "Yes".
 Like the average consumer, Commissioner Joseph M. Tone wanted to know the answer. So he dispatched a sleuth with orders to scan the backs of representa- tive number of cancelled checks to learn where they had been cashed.
 Cynics who were declaring only a short time ago that large amount of the money would keep it's recipients bending their elbows or buying de luxe eights are due to be a bit confounded by the re- suits of the research. For it seems that it is not at the tavern or the automobile agency, but at the neighborhood grocer's that the boys are cashing in.
 Grocery Man
 YeSSir, the grocery man has done his bit in cashing the unem- ployment compensation checks. Not only the chap who has been in the neighborhood for years, but the fellow who moved in with the chain store. By far the majority of checks were turned into hard cash at establishments where you buy crullers for your coffee and butter for your bread.
 The milkman is converting his share and so is the butcher. Both of them are taking the states paper in large quantities for goods and returning the remainder and, incidentally, feeling quite safe about the whole transaction.
 ShoemakerS have cashed some and so have meat packing firms. A number have been turned in to coal companies and department stores, drug stores and bakeries.
 Finance Company
 Now and again check Is re- turned with 8 finance company stamp on it's back, revealing that the claimant had to meet hlS time payment and that the bene- fits came in pretty handy.
 Towards the end of his search. the sleuth did run into some food for thought. He found several checks, according to the Labor Department, which bear evidence that they crossed the bar, and not in the Tennysonian manner at that. These, however, are reported to make up but an infiniteslmal fraction.
 Exactly 100 per cent of the checks have been honored, or as storekeeper up near the MasSa- chusetts line has 1t:

 Many safety organizations will take part in the conference and some of the nations foremost safe ty experts will be among the speak eaB. A general meeting will be held in the morning, with a number of forum discussion periods on various subjects to be held in the afternoon.
 Statement
 In connection with the conference, Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the state department of motor ve- hicleS, has issued the following statement:
 "The presence of all the official agencies concerned, aS well as the unusual interest shown by semi-of- fi',ial and citizen groups at the first general conference on safety in Connecticut on April 4th at New Haven marks great step forward in the promotion of safety in this state. Since the ultimate object of all the safety programs is to secure the attention of all the motorists this large gathering of groups re- presenting every walk of life in our state should do more towards reaching individuals than anything that has been done heretofore. All police departments, the courts, the Governors Commission, and the Motor Vehicle Department. will have representatives present to discuss the problem as it involves their de- partment. The church " the schools, the colleges s. a. tors will have their programs. Wll and city officials, industry, fraternal organiza tions and civic groups will take part, and undoubtedly the in- fluence yielded by these groups is
