put on. Snap the guests as they ar. rive. Catch a snapshot of the turkey as 1t is taken steaming from the oven, nestled in golden;brown pota- toes. These preparations make re- markedly interesting pictures = so don't miss detail!
 At dinner, you will be pretty busy with food-but it's easy to take a few moments out now and then for snapshot. Keep the camera at hand, and arrange your lights so they can be placed quickly and snapped on. You'll want picture of the whole table, with everyone seated, just before dinner begins. Then there are individual shots Billy admiring the turkey - Ann busy with an enormous "drumstick'' Uncle John cracking nuts.
 You can easily see what splendid story there is to tell--and there will be many more picture chances than those listed here. Better start mak- ing your plans, and let the family help make up a list of must" snap shots. It will be fun for them as well as you.

SEAL CAMP AICN OPENS THURSDAY.
3O,OOO, ,OOO Seals Allotted Connecticut; Miss Chase
 Chairman Here

Hartford, Nov. 22-Plans for the 1888 Christmas Seal campaign were practically complete today with the organization of more than one hum
 dred local committees and tuber- culosiS associations supplied with nearly thirty million seals and eigh-
 teen thousand posters for the open ing on Thanksgiving Day of the 32d annual sale to raise funds for the fight against tuberculosis, ac- cording to a statement by Miss Ma bel Baird, state campaign director for the State Tuberculosis commis- sion.
 The tuberculosis seal this year was designed by Lloyd Coe, New York artist, and depicts mother and two young children in the costumes of the Victorian age lighting g candle in the window of their home. At the bottom on either side is red double-barred cross, the insignia of the international fight against tu- berculosis. Bordered in red, the seal is carried out in typical Christmas
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-22

colors, and the corner seals of each sheet carry the portraits of four men who played important parts in the fight against tuberculosis.
 The posters, showing . replica of the Seal and the message, Protect Your Home from Tuberculosis" help to carry out the theme of the in- tensive educational effort to direct public attention to the problem of tuberculosis, and to signify the pro- tection that the organized campaign brings to the home.
 volunteer service is one of the cherished traditions of the anti tuberculosis campaign" according to Miss Baird, land several hundred committee members and other work CTS throughout the state give gen. erously of their time, energy and ability in this busy season in order that tuberculosis may be conquered" :"
 The campaign in Waterbury is directed by the Anti-Tubercuiosis League with Miss Edith M. Chase as chairman.

THANKSGIVING DAY

THANKSGIVING Day dinner of. < fers one of the years best oppor- tunities for series of storytelling pictures. These pictures can be taken easily, with any kind of cam. era, and they will occupy proud place in your snapshot album.
 Most of the pictures will be indoor snapshots, and these are easy nowa- days. All the equipment you need is two or three large photo bulbs and some inexpensive cardboard re- fiectors. Screw the photo bulbs into bridge lamps, attach an extension cord so the lamps can be moved about easily, load your camera with fast panchromatic film of the super type-and you are all ready to fire away.
 Don't limit the pictures to the din- ner itself. There is much more to shoot. Start early. Get a picture of Mother with her basket, bringing in the Thanksgiving groceries-or one of the store delivery boy bringing them in. Show the mixing of the Thanksgiving cake-and after 1t is baked take a picture as the icing is

Tentative plans for. the opening of the Washington Park basketball league Friday evening, December 2 were discussed last night at meet ing of the board of directors. A schedule of games will be drawn up, with the first games slated for that date.
 Lack of a quorum last night made it necessary that the election of of- f1cers be postponed until another meeting Friday night of this week. The St. Ann's A. A. have been ad- mitted to the league in the place ot the Community club, and applica- tions for entry have been received from the East End Community club and the Brooklyn Indies.
 A meeting of managers of the league teams will be called after the Friday session of the directors. It has been learned that the commu- nifty house court will be unavailable for practice sessions this year be- cause of the increased activities. Last year each senior team was designated a time for practice ses- sions. This year, however, the Boy Scouts and Fife & Drum Corps are using the Community house for meetings.
 Gents of the Hill
 Fifty couples have made reserva- tions to attend the third annual dinner dance of the Gents of the Hill at Waverly Inn, Friday evening December 2, according to committed reports at a meeting in the parish hall last night. The clubs basketball team practiced in the Washington school gym before the meeting. An other practice is scheduled for next Monday night, at which time mem- bers >will be measured for new uni forms.

Waterville, Nov. 22-Mrs. William Heaney, Mrs. John Lynch, Mrs. Ed ward Barlow, Mrs. George Porch, Mrs. Joseph McArdle, Mrs. Joseph Seery. Mrs. Peter Quito, Mrs. Leroy Cooke, Mrs. Arthur Humphrey, Mrs. G. Pouard, Mrs. c. L. Slade, J. L. Vibbert, Mir. Hotchkiss, c. Arthur DuBois, and Patrick O'Dea went to Hartford yesterday to attend hear ing before the public utilities com mission. The hearing was on the application of the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Company to ex- tend the Overlook line to Waterville.
 The bus route now used for Wa tervilIe is so indirect that a great deal of time is wasted by those travelling back and forth from Wa terbury. A person living in the Willow street section and working at the Chase Metal Works, must go to Waterbury and transfer, and then come up to Waterville which takes an unreasonable amount of time. The route now covers a distance ot nine blocks after the bus leaves Homer street, to go up around the circle of Dwight street, Edgehill ave- nue, and Cooke street, back again to Homer street, and thence to Thom- aston avenue and Waterbury.
 The newly proposed route, with the s Curve as turn-around on Thomaston avenue, would mean that all busses would serve Water vile residents, whereas people re- siding on Fort Hill have service only once an hour, with the eXcep- tion of few hours in the afternoon, when extra busses are run to serve employees of the Chase Metal Works. The busseS operating on the half hour schedule only come to the park, and it is a most unpleasant experience for those residing in the North End of the town to have to walk the remaining distance.
 The busses travelling along Thom- aston avenue, through the park, and the east side of Waterville, are smooth running, quiet and are oper- ated by the most careful drivers, and their constant passing has never bsen objectionable. The argument given by residents of Pennington avenue was that they would disturb the solitude and quiet of their homes. Such has not been the case, through all sections where they have been operating, since the time the trolleyS were discontinued.
 And as for safety of children go- ing back and forth to school in the Kingsbury district, they will not be endangered by c. R. & L. busses, as has been proven by the fact that the bus route through Waterville now goes directly through the Waterville pagk, within a few feet of the play ground, where children gather in the summertime for playground activi- tieS, and where football is the prin- ciple interest of all young people of the community, at this time of year.
 It is earnestly hoped by those who uso the busses most, that a new,
