Crew, leads the list with twenty-seven
years. Fritz Daeke, of the Distribu-
ton and Service, comes next with

Allen, Satisfaction Superintendent, is
really the "Kingfish of Safety at
Henderson, although all of his time
has not been spent with the Company
His total time with this and other
companies is thirty-nine years, and
thirty-nine years is a mighty long
time to work without falling out be-
cause of an accident 1t must not be
overlooked that the Henderson Dis
trict Manager has been with us for
sixteen years and he has not lost dav

Here we have proof that work can
be done safely in any branch of our

established the fact beyond the

mark for everyone else to shoot at.

WPA BAND WILL Be
FORMED FOR CITY
Weisenfluh To Be Director;
To Meet at Park Mon
day Afternoon

One of the newest ventures of the
WPA here is band, which is to take
preliminary form at a meeting next
Monday afternoon at o'clock at
Kings Daughters park. Raynard Won
Weisenfluh who is in charge OF
music direction for the WPA, will be
in charge as director.
Two of the prospective members of
the band are William T. Fuller and
James Clay F'oole both of whom have
broadcast over radio.
Those reporting for the first meet
ing Monday afternoon at the park
are asked to bring whatever instru-
ments they have available. Those
without instruments will have to be
provided with them if they are &C
copied for the organization.
It is understood some 300 to 400 per-
sons are on WPA relief rolls in this
county at the present time, and it is
thought that a good band can be built
up from among that group. Concerts
are planned at a later date when the
band has rehearsed sufficiency to
prove its efficiency, it was said.
The band work will be part of the
recreational program now under way
in the city and county, and for which
WPA allotment of $37 800 has been
provided Some $4,000 or more of
the funds will go to the improvement
of Kings Daughters park, now own
ed by. the city. Athletic fields and
tennis courts and the like are to be
provided at all of the consolidated
<>f -, u
dition to such work as may be done
at the Henderson high school and
other local schools, it was said.

TOBACCO IMPROVES
IN MANY SECTIONS
Weather More Favorable,
With Occasional Show
ers Helping Much

With more favorable weather, in
Guiding frequent light showers, the
growing tobacco crop in this section
has made further progress toward
maturity in this county and section
during the past week. Meantime, cur
ing is generally under way on many
farms, with the leaf turning fairly
good quality.
Much of the crop that is being
cured is turning out weed that is
light and generally lacking in body
weight, but for the most part with
good weight.
Rains have had a tendency to re-
store some of the damage that was
done by excessive rains in June, the
precipitation being about properly
mixed with hot sunshine. There have
been few hot nights, however, and
most crops require that to do their
BEST.
While much tobacco was ruined by
the excessive rains last month, par
ticularly the early crop, it now ap-
pears that the production will be lar
ger and of a better quality than at
one time seemed likely. The aggregate
yield in this section is expected to be
less than the total allotments under
the crop control program.
Shortage in the yield, if there
should be a shortage, would be relied
upon to enhance the price according
ly, although reports from various
parts of the belt indicate shat the
total flue-cured production may be
in excess of the allotmcnts fixed Ky

 The quo warranto action was de- nied by Judge Ernest A. Inglis and Judge Earnest c. Simpson over- ruled the mandamus case.
 The two actions which will be heard are: Petronella Lusas against St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church Corporation, an appeal by the plaintiff from 8 judgment of the common pleas court.
 Also, the appeal from the con1- mon pleas court judgment from the defendants judgment rendered in the case of Stanley Padaigis against Maggie Kane.
 Several other Waterbury actions are on the docket, but as yet the transcript has not been printed and therefore the appeals cannot be heard.
 More PreIiminaries
 Concerning the quo warranto and the mandamus appeals, the prelim- inaries have not as yet been com- pleted. It had been expected that the appeal would be completed and ready for argument this month, so that a final ruling from the sup reme court might be obtained be- fore any evidence was started in the conspiracy trial.

RUSH OF POSTAL BUSINESS OVER Authorities Grateful for PubIic's Early Mailing
 Cooperation

Post cards and packages mailed today will reach their destinations as far west as California before Christmas day provided they are sent by special delivery, Postmaster Charles A. Babin said today.
 Highly appreciatiye of the public response to his plea for early mail- ings, MT. Babin said today that the "battle was over," insofar as Christmas mailing rush is concerned. He urged, however, that those who have last-minute packages and let ters to send make use of the air. mail and special delivery services, especially when the destination is in the far-west.
 Incoming mails are still heavy, but outgoing mails are gradually reducing to normal. The post office today presented a different sight from that which has prevailed dur ing the past ten days. It looks like the calm after a storm. Many of the extra clerks who have worked for the busy period have been let go, but the extra carriers are Icing maintained, and even augmented.

Controller Opens Sealed Bids At
 Private Meeting

Controller Sherwood L. Rowland
 told the board of finance yester- day that he had opened sealed bids on the city's $1,250,000 tenn porary loan ''in the presence of two of my staff and an officer of the Waterbury National bank" be- fore he had released the amounts 70 the Republican-America yes- day noon, and before the bids were presented at the board meet ing.
 Some of the commissioners pom dered whether, by the control ler's earlier contentious, the bids might not be illegal inasmuch as the charter provides tht the bids should be considered at the fi- nance board meeting, that the controller is subject to the board, thus, without authority to under take such procedure.
 It was the controller who raised question of legality of opening sealed bids when the board of public works awarded contract some months ago. He said that the charter required that he should have been present, that he had had mo notice" of the meeting. This latter contention was ridiculed when commissioners pointed out to the controller that his office had placed the adver tisement calling for the meeting in the statute-requilred two newspapers" by the controllers prediction, the 1.-two newspapers" being the Republican-American.
