EGGS HOLD BRIDGE TOGETHER

At Prague in Czecho Slovakia, the
st. Charles bridge-one Of the city's
famous landmarks-is literally held
together by eggs, according to the
Century Travel Bureau at Rockefel-
Ter Center, New York.
Centuries ago, when the ancient
stone bridge was constructed, every
peasant from miles around brought
quota of eggs, at the kings de-
mand, to mix with the mortar used
in the bridge. The architects believ-
ed this would strengthen the struc-
ture and apparently it did.

His parents were not wealthy and 1t was necessary for him to find work in order to enable him to enter Yale college. Following his graduation from Yale university he entered Yale Law school from where he graduated with honors.
 Shortly after his graduation from the Yale Law school, Commissioner Danaher entered the law office of the late United States Senator Or vile H. Platt. A close personal friendship sprang up between Dan- aher and MT. Platt and lasted until the time of the death of MT. Platt. All his life Commissioner Danaher has devoted to the cause of the la boring man and woman of the state of Connecticut. Many years ago he was retained by the Connecticut Federation of Labor as that organi- zation's legal councillor. MT. Dana her held that post right up to the time when he was appointed state labor commissioner by the governor Immediately after his appointment was confirmde by the senate, with number of Democratic senators voting for his confirmation, he re- signed his official connection with organized labor.
 Commissioner Danaher married Ellen J. Ryan who was also born in the city of Meriden. The couple settled in Meriden and have lived there ever since. Four sons were born to the Danahers. The eldest son is John A. Danaher, who is now 8 member of the United States sem ate. The second son was named after the father. The third son is named Francis who is now the mayor of the city of Meriden. The youngest son is named Laurence but unlike his other three brothers Laurence is not a lawyer, instead he maintains an insurance office in Meriden.
 Law Enforcement
 Many years ago Commissioner Danaher became interested in poli- tics but never has he sought public office. It was many years ago that he campaigned against an organiza- tion which was then known as the League for Law Enforcement" The sole duty of this organization was to secure and present evidence in court against a reputed law viola tor. Much criticism was directed against the organization and the manner in which the organization worked. Names such as "stool pige sl" were used against the mem- bers of the organization.
 It was at this time that young

COURTS HERE IN
 SUMMER RECESS

Superior and common pleas courts of Connecticut were in adjournment for the summer months today, fol- lowing disposition of numerous short calendar motions at lengthy sessions yesterday.
 Common pleas court here actually adjourned Thursday, but was con- tinued for the disposition of two civil matters on trial. Superior court sessions concluded for the summer yesterday following a short calendar hearing which lasted well into the afternoon.
 The only higher court which will operate on regular schedule during the coming two months will be the Waterbury superior court in the trial of the conspiracy case. No civil matters will be heard. Before the final adjournment there was a hustle by counsel in a last minute attempt to have their cases tried.
 Summer assignments for chamber sessions by judges do not include Waterbury as the scene of any chamber sessions this summer.

State Capitol, Hartford, July l. Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden becomes labor commissioner of the state of Connecticut beginning to- day and continuing for a period of four years. Commissioner Danaher was appointed by Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin a few months ago, his appointment was quickly con- firmed by the state senate.
 The new commissioner from the outset will insist on the elimination of "sweatshops" from the state. He will insist on prompt payments being made to persons deserving such pay ments. He will strive for efficient cooperation between the admins trators of the labor department and the employees of the department.
 Native of Meriden

program in the woods. It is not just vacation or place to take boys off the street. It is not just health resort or a place where boys are taught to swim and handle boats and where they participate in dramatics and campfire stories, and have good time.
 While Camp Mataucha includes all of these, its real function is ex- pressed in The Camp of Charac- ter. No Camp plans better time for its boys, but the primary object in having such large group of high grade leaders, is that they might direct the boys as they work out their own programs and experi- ence the character growth resulting therefrom.

 'It is our belief that the indi- vidual consumer is as much entitled to cash credit as is business itself and that the whole credit struc- ture of the country will benefit by its widespread use. A short time age we announced the issuance of an "all purpose credit card,' the pur- pose of which is to insure speedy service and hand: sum of cash readily available to the card hold CT, regardless of where he may be This card places no obligation what soever upon the borrower, but is designed to place personal borrow ing on a dignified business-like plane and to remove the element o1 pressure from the borrower wher he applies for cash credit in the event of an emergency Many Wa terbury citizens are taking advan- tage of this opportunity to estab- fish their credit rating and are re- joicing in the feeling of security which results from the knowledge that their credit is good.
 Our customers and the people ot this community in general are de- manding better service, not only from us, but from all retail organ izations. We will continue to attempt to stay in advance of this demand.

While 100 Waterbury boys were taken to Hartford today for exam ination preliminary to enrolment in the eco, prospects were good that more might be accepted during the coming month.

 "There are still chances for ad- ditional applicants to apply and be enrolled in July. All local selecting agencies have been instructed to ac- cept applications from eligible boys fo renrollment at this time," said MT. Van Buren.

 of Waterbury is celebrating its 20th
 anniversary today. Manager T. J.
 Wagner in an interview today talk
 ed about the great changes that
 have come about since the Personal Finance company has been in op-
 eration in Waterbury.
 "We are completely and entirely in accord with the so-called con-
 sumer movement which is fast making headway in this country and many other countries all over the world," MT. Magner said. Tt is en- t:rely right ant' proper that the con- sumer should be given every con- sideration and get full value for his money, not only in goods, but in service. In the personal finance business service is every bit as im- portant as the commodity, if not more so.

fun by killing hundreds and maim- ing thousands"
 'The Waterbury Police Depart ment invites every citizen to unite with them in their effort to reduce this needless massacre and to make Independence Day a time of happi- ness and not of tragedy.
 "Last year civic, religious, patriot ic and fraternal groups joined with the police in their campaign. And the accidents came down. Just how great part the united campaign played in reducing suffering and deaths cannot be determined definitely. But there is no doubt it helped @ lot.
 "So this year the Waterbury po- lice department pledges itself to wage even a harder fight to cut down this Fourth of July toll. It asks everyone to help"
 "Clergymen, business men and civic leaders can and will help"
 But the ost powerful factor of all in this fight is the individual driver and pedestrian-you and I. The police department sums up its resolution by saying:
 Holiday Jamboree
 "Each year America chooses In- dependence day to stage jamboree of carelessness. On the highways in the home-on the beaches and picnic ground, men, women and children are killed off by the score, even as they celebrate"
 There is no rhyme or reason to this wholesale slaughterl It can be stopped. It must be stopped"
 "How?"
 By each and every one of us using caution and common sense. The things that cause these trag- edies are things we can control haste, thoughtlessness, the desire to show off.
 "The police department calls on Waterbury's citizens to help stop this midsummer massacre by sign ing 8 new Declaration of Indepen- dence-independence from annual tribute of thousands of American lives needlessly sacrif1ced-indepen- dence from the kind of celebration that leaves us the dead and the sightless and the suffering"
 Be Alive!
 Let us remember that Indepen- dence day annually leaves trail of tragedy, disaster, suffering. Traffic crashes - drownings, burns ana wounds from f1recrackers-all man. ner of accidents. Parents can make this Independence day safer by using caution and instilling 1t in their children"
 Let's keep July 4th from being a day of sorrow"
 Lets be alive on the fifth"

In a pre-holiday statement today

In . pre-holiday statement today Police Superintendent William J Roach asks for the cooperation of the entire community in prevent ing accidents over the Fourth o1 July. He calls for concerted effort on the part of all residents, point ing out that such cooperation last year did much to cut down holiday accidents from their usual heavy toll.
