SEEK DONATIONS
 FOR HEALTH CAMP
Lions Club Sponsor Annual Appeal for Underprivi=
 leged Children

Contributions in the amount of 5000 are being sought in the an- nual Lions club drive for mainten- ance of the health camp for crip- pied and undernourished children at Bantam lake. The drive began on April 3 and 2,O00 letters have been mailed to Waterburians.
 Last year the Lions secured over 40 acres of land in the south end of Bantam lake on which there are several small cabins and a large house which they have converted in- to 8 farm for the underprivileged children of Waterbury and vicinity. Considerable expenditures were necessary to put the property in the proper condition for the work.
 In statement issued, last night by Francis J. Calvin, president of the Lions club, he asks that all per- sons who receive the appeal for funds contribute as generously as their circumstances permit. The foundation hopes to be able to take care of the ever-increasing number of applicants which the present fla cilities are large enough to accom- modate. Although it will be im- possible to send letters of appeal to all persons who might assist in this worthy cause, the Lions will greatly appreciate any contribu- tions from those unsolicited.

STUDENTS COMPETE FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Local High School Pupils Eligible for Awards at Carnegie Institute

Local high school students who have exhibited exceptional abilities in their school work are being of fered an opportunity to compete for $3,000 scholarships in engineering at Carnegie institute, Pittsburgh, Pa.
 These scholarships cover five years work at Carnegie institute and at the Westinghouse plant. They pro- vide partial financing of a balanced program of academic and practical education. There are 50 such schol- arships available throughout the country. Cfficials of the local high schools have been given detailed in formation on these scholarships to present to the students.
 Each scholarship has a total value of $3,000, payable monthly at the rate of $50, for the five year period of the course. The plan affords an unusual opportunity for combining theoretical training with practical experience. At the age of 22 to 24 years, the participants will have completed a four-year formal engi- neering course and, at the same time, will have acquired a substantial background of two years industrial experience.
 This plan of cooperative engineer ing education between the institute and the company was established in 1888. All applications must be sub mitted before April f5.

Delegation Repudiates Leagues Resolution Spokesman for Riverside Street Residents Grateful

meeting last night, political. Be- cause the Riversiders, after seeking some plan to control the Naugatuck river during flood periods, were told last night that the engineering de- partment will have plans for lay- out of the river ready for considera- tion at the next board meeting, April 18.
 During the last few months, the Riverside street group, joined by several business men with interests on Bank street, have sought dredg- ing of the river, widening of the channel, any panacea to protect their properties from damaging floods such as have occurred with increasing frequency over the past several years. First, there was pro- posed a plan by which about $518,- 900 would be required to chain the river away from the doors of the petitioners.
 Then various sums were sought from the finance board to attempt solution of the problem posed by the Riversiders, the finance board fail- ing to grant appropriations for which no provisions were made in the budget.
 Now the layout proposal is due for study with the hope expressed by MT. Kopiczh last night that the pro- ject may come under the WPA pro gram so that funds may be found outside the hard-pressed treasury of the city.
 we had nothing to do with that resolution" MT. Kopiczh protested to the board, after the delegation had asked that the communication be read at the public hearing in city court chambers. 'The board has cooperated in every way. There is no basis for the charge made in the resolution that the board 'op- posed' us."

FIRE APARTMENT
 NEEDS. LIFE BOAT
Commissioner Healey in Favor of Purchase for
 Emergency Purposes

Chairman Frank Healey planned to ask the board of fire commis- sioners at meetinng late this af- ternoon for approval of proposal to purchase a rowboat for use in rescue and searching work. The search for missing Jackie Grady re- vealed the need of the department for boat, he said, since the craft used in the dragging of ponds and dams had to be borrowed.
 Transfer of $50 from an unused portion of a fund appropriated for the purchase of fire apparatus was to be sought by Commissioner Hea- ley. No opposition to the plan twas expected to be offered.
 Later in the year, Commissioner Healey said, he will seek to have the city purchase for the fire depart ment beach wagon which would be fully equipped for use in emer- gencies. The equipment would in- clude life belts, gas masks, dragging irons and ropes, oxygen tanks. in1a- 1ators and other articles.
 A vehicle thus equipped is needed by tl6 fire department, Commission CT Healey claims, and would aid the fire department greatly in emergen- cy work.
