Many To Attend


 A large gathering is expected at the outdoor sunrise service this year. The lateness of Easter will provide better weather than last year, and the cooperation of four churches will bring many people to the dawn worship service. Plans are well Under way for an inspir- ing program directed by the Rev. Edward R. Hance. The address will be given by the Rev. Harold Lucas. Rev. Arthur Johnson and Rev Wayne White will participate in the service.
 The band stand in Lewis Park, opposite the high school is the place selected for the Easter Serv- ice. If the weather is inclement the meeting will take place at the Hill side church. The hour is 6 o'clock in the morning. The trumpeterS who will announce the service from Fairview avenue above the park are: MT. Miles Berry and Conrad Rohs.
 The public is cordially invited to this traditional opening of the Eas- ter festival.
 Hard Job Faces Board
 The borough will have an esti- mated revenue for the fiscal year 1938-39 of $544,7l1, it was announc- ed today. This is $18,089.17 more than the estimated revenue for the past fiscal year, but there will be Q bond payment of $15,000 due in the present fiscal year, and this leaves 8 net increase for the 1938- 39 appropriation of $3,O89.17. This means that there is only $3,089 available for increases to de- partments. It also indicates the board will have a hard job to keep the budget within the limits of a A mill tax, the present rate, and still satisfy departmental heads.
 The school department is asking an increase of $9,100 in its budget, the fire department wants $14,000 more for a new truck, and un- doubtedly when the welfare depart ment estimate is made up, it will be large increase over the amount of $57,500 appropriated for the past fiscal year.
 Unless the tax rate is to be in- creased, and 1t is known the ad- ministration firmly opposes this, there are only two alternatives: To not give departments most of the increases wanted, or to cut other departments considerably to permit increases in other departments.
 The $3,089 could be easily taken by any one of the aforementioned departments as an increase and still more would be sought. It is probable an attempt to spread 1t over sev- eral departments will be made.
 The 1938-39 estimated revenue are: Taxes. grand list 1887: Distric No. 1, $20, 0,758,l ,l60. 1o mills $394,- 405.4; district No. 3, $1P205.l .l45. 5 mills. $94,025.73; total, $488, ,430.77. Old age assistance taxes, $22,000: interest on taxes and assessments,

Excitement which had all the fea- lures of the aftermath of major catastrophe resulted yesterday aft ernoon when James Conway, Jr., of 69 Keefe street sent his model air. plane aloft from a sandbank in the vicinity of the Recreation Rod and Gun club, in South Waterbury and the plane crashed when it's means of power had exhausted.
 A resident of the section, seeing the model go into spin and nose groundward, believed that she was viewing the horrors of an actual plane crash. Immediately she went into action. She sounded the alarm to police headquarters, and forth with agents of mercy were dispatch ed to the scene, to assist the pilot" who might have been crippled or killed by the crash"
 With sirens screeching, an ann bulance and police cars hurried to the scene of the crash, which was the end of Tracy avenue, only to find a group of youngsters seeking out the spot where the model plane had crashed. The model, which was almost completely demolished by its crash into a tree-top, was a beautiful bi-plane. with wingspread of five feet. Young Conway con- structed the plane in his spare mo- ments. He is an enthusiastic air plane fan.
 He described the plane as being powered by a ratchet, deriving its power from a series of elastic bands which when wound tightly by con-

GOAL SHORTAGE HELD UNLIKELY
 FOR 3,7O0 YEARS
Estimate of Consumption Based on l925=35
 YardstiCk

Geneva, April 29.-(UP)-Man need not worry about coal short age before the year 5638.
 An International Labor Office re- port on the world coal industry, which is being prepared for the World oal Conference at Geneva on May 2, says that if the future rate of extraction does not exceed the average of 1925-35, the worlds supply of bituminous and anthra- cite coal will last at least another 37 centuries.
 If, however, the extraction rate increases by 0.5 per cent annually, the report says, it will last only 6 centuries; while an annual increase of per cent will exhaust it in 200 years. The proved, and probable, world reserves are estimated at A. 100000 million metric tons.
 The United State has the great est reserves, estimated at 1,975,000 million metric tons Ca metric ton is 2,204.6 pounds), with Soviet Rus sia second with 1,075,000 million metric tons, and Germany third with 289,000 million metric tons. Next in order come Canada, 286,000 millions; China, 220,000 millions; Great Britain, 100000 millions; and Poland 138,0oO millions.
 Based on the extraction average of 1925-35, Soviet Russia will out last all comp. titors. Producing 30.3 million metric tons annually, it's supply is good for another 35,478 years; or 1,037 years with an an- nual increase in the rate of extrac- tion of 0.5 per cent, and 330 years with an annual increase of 2 per cent.
 On the same reckoning, the United States, extracting 535.8 mil lion metric tons a year, has supplies for another 3,686 years; or 593 years with an increase of 0.5 per cent ill the extraction rate, and PIT years with similar increase of 2 per cent. Great Britain, however, extracting 23O3 metric tons a year, has re- serves for only another 868 years. An annual increase in extraction of 0.5 per cent would exhaust them in 329 years, and a per cent increase would do it in 147 years.
 Germany, producing 148.1 million metric tons year from 1925-35, has supplies, at that rate, for another 1,951 years.
 Reckoning on the same 1925-35 basis, Poland, producing SIS mil lion metric tons a year, has enough for 3,651 years; and China, extract ing 16.5 metric million tons a year has enough for another 1880 years.

Good Evening.
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

THE HIGH COST OF ATMOSPHERE You pay for the atmosphere, Likewise for the linen, And also the lovely china
 Admired so by the women Then there's the location,
 The surroundings and all, It's hard even to get in
 Without telephone call Some places are most high hat, For the extras you have to pay, You can't get service for a pittance In the better places, they say So while the prices are pretty high, In fact most awfully dear, You'll find out as you go
 You pay for the atmosphere.
