LITTLE MEN AT WORK
HAVE COMMON INTEREST
BY Ted Wood

Paper! War extra! Read all
about it! Wanta' buy a paper?
If you have ever been near % Ave-
nue. and Madison Street you have
probably heard this spiel and wat
ched the spielers as they fit from
car to car selling the news to
cross-town motorists. And if you
have been near that corner when
after-work traffic Is at its hea-
West, you have probably noticed
the hustle these little men at
work" put on, for the three of
them are Johnny on the spot"
with papers for the four way traf-
fic.
Donald Morris, who boasts that
he's the boss of the crew" has
been selling papers on the same
corner for three years. Donald is
a wiry, alert curly haired lad of
IL with million dollar personali-
ty and an eye for business. (He
even tried to sell this reporter
paper). He lives with his mother
at 1716 "a Avenue.
Robert Fisher, who works for
Donald is also go-getter, a brown
eyed, brown skinned, heavily built
hustler of IL, who would rather
give you smile than drive hard
bargain. Robert helps Donald sell
the Pr and the Times, daily and
Sunday. He lives at 1901 rs Ave-
nue..
The party of the third part is
James Owens, the largest of the
three. He is also IL years old,
handsome, with a soft voice, the
kind of teeth that could be used
for advertisements and the kind
of shoulders that make you feel
glad you will not be playing foot
ball when this lad is in his prime.
James lives at 2416 Madison
Street. He sells the Star.
These ''little men at work" have
more in common than the mere
sale of a newspaper. Each is, in
his own right, a breadwinner for
none has father living at home.
The sale of a paper means a
few more pennies for self support,
the occasional movie and a good
start on the road to independence.
There is no rivalry among
these boys, nor does one shirk
while the other works. They don't
care what paper you buy so long
as you buy one, and what one
earns in a day breeds no jealousy
on the part of the others, but
serves as an incentive for them
to shout in louder voice, Paper!
War extra! Read all about it!
Wanta' buy a paper?"

the stomach was given as cause of
the sudden death of the prominent

Zion Missionary Society.
At the recent convention of the
General Baptist Association held

animously elected president of the

fled with the Association for many
years and was one of its most loyal

Griffin told police that his car
skidded as he drove along Madison
Street and he lost control, crash
ing with such force that the car
was literally wrapped around the
pole" The crash drove the left
door of the car so far to the right
that Lopez left foot was wedged
between the door and an eleva-
ton in the center of the floor. Res
cuers called the fire department to
cut a hole through the car but
Lopez was extricated by unlacing
his shoe and freeing the wedged
foot.
How Griffin escaped with minor
injuries Is a miracle. The door to
the drivers seat was driven to the
opposite side by the crash and
the steering wheel bent downward.
Lopez and Brown received concus-
sions of the brain.
The victims of the accident
were we'll known in the city among
the younger set. Lopez, it is re-
ported, came to the city about two
years ago from New York and
lived at APO Maynard Ave. Con-
tact with relatives in the eastern
city had not been made when we
went to press and funeral arrange
ments were incomplete. Griffin
gave his address as 1914 Spruce
st., while Browns address is un-
known.

And for eight years he has headed what I regard as the puppet government for the city Of Waterbury, used by him for his own purposes to !defraud the city of Waterbury.
 Let's see if I'm not right about that. What did he control? He controlled the city court, with MT McGrath as the judge, who drew down something more than $6,000 every year, in addition to his salary and cashed his cheeks at the Wa terbury Trust Company. He con trolled the police department. MT Minor, one of the accused in this case, is the head of the police de- partment. He controlled the Board of Finance through the appoint ments which he made to the Board of Finance.
 Controlled office
 And he has controlled the cor poration counsels office which is vastly more important. It isn't 50 much that he gave dinners to the senators with whom he was asso- ciated during the legislative session, but that 1t was paid by him out of his own pocket and then turned in as a charge against the city of Waterbury. And on the very day that he received that payment, he received l,400 charged to the same account.
