MONTEREY, CALIF.-After
imposing a fine Of $25 on Ralph
Small, of Stockton, for reckless
driving, Police Judge Monte Hell

school picture from his wallet,
and beckoned the prisoner to his
side. Pointing to a small boy in

Then, pointing to a tall lad in

do it, but it's the law"

World New,

Apparently Adolf Hitler again
played a trump card when Rus
sian troops moved fifty miles into
territory of the new almost SUBJ
dued Polish republic. Although
at this writing the Polish capital,
Warsaw, is still resisting German
advances, the Russian army met
but little resistance in claiming
the conquered territory as it's own
the territory once belonging to
Russia before the Treaty Of Yer
SALES was put into effect follow
ing the World War. Apparently
such a move ON the part of Rus
STA definitely links her with Ger
many in a military alliance, but
on the other hand, Russia may be
acting more on her own Initiative
in Selling this conquered terri
tory. France and Great Britain
condemn such a move on the part
of Russia but have not yet de,
clared war on the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. Acting with
haste Russia has negotiated
truce with Japan to cease fighting
on the far Eastern Manchurian
front. Such move gives Russia
the opportunity OF concentrating
her troops on the Western Front.
Unofficially it is rumored that
Turkey, an ally of Great Britain
in the last World War, is nego-
tiating a pact with Russia point
ING toward non-aggression.
Italy still remains neutral, and
in which direction she will jump
is yet undetermined.
France continues to make gains
on the Western Front, but Ger
MANY is now rushing troops to
this front since resistance from
Poland is practically nil during
the last few days of conflict.
Great Britain continues to 60
doggedly forward in her efforts
to establish a blockade of Ger
many-the weapon which proved
SO very effective in the last World
War. In spite of the loss of sew
eral merchant marine ships and
an airplane carrier by German u
boats Great Britain continues con-
fident that her policy will end in
success.
The Congress of the United
States opens it's emergency session
on Friday to revise it's neutrality
laws with firm determination to
remain neutral in spite of the serl-
business of the European confia-
grafton. w e h e the United
States will open its market to war
ring nations or clamp down strict
laws forbidding the sale of war
material to belligerent nations UNI
der any circumstances remains for
conjecture.

Waterbury Lodge of Elks Mourn Death of Patrick J. McPartland Veteran Member, Former
 Athlete, Loyal Friend.

the organization of that particu- lar league. His marks were high, and often times he secured the top notch prize for high average.
 In every day conversation, he was interesting to listen to, never talked out of turn, made friends by the hundred, and was gener- ally liked by those with whom he was brought in contact.
 He leaves the Elks to join with Bill ODonnell, the head steward until his death more than year ago. The two were close friends and associates, always seen at the old club house and widely known among the other members of the lodge.
 Old time Elks are fast disap- bearing. Time takes an Elk like it does non-Elks. The Elks' rit- ual says an Elk is never forgot ten.
 Sometimes we wonder if that is true.
 Most people are forgotten when they die, except by family ties. Perhaps, it is just as well; death must reach us all some time.
 And we know of many who have been forgotten after death, yes, and some who were even forgotten during life.
 It's the way of the world. 
 Skeptics
 Funeral service may be just and proper for some, but there are skeptics among many of us who sometimes feel to the con- trary.
 After all, what right have we to question. The people affected by the death of their own are the better judges. Their will at these things should always prevail. We should all bow and pray for the dead, that is if we know how. Some of us, because of our bring ing up, don't even know what 1t is to pray.
 The Out Easter, non church. man that he is, is one of this lot.

The Waterbury Police Depart ment's supernrmerary force was up to it's charter limit of 100 today, as the result of the appointment of 45 men at a special police board meeting Saturday afternoon. The supernumeraries are eligible for ao- pointment as regulars after serving a year, but there is little likelihood that many of them will become regulars for some time, since at present there is only one patrol mans post vacant in the whole de- partment.
 Selected at Caucus
 Names of those to be appointed had been agreed on at police board caucuses Friday, and the appointees waited outside the meeting room while the board was in session.
 Chairman Harry Minor of the board addressed the supernumerar- ies briefly, informing them that they will not receive regular pay. but will be compensated for any special work they are called on to do. He informed them that they all had been chosen unanimously by the board.
 Official List
 The new supernumeraries are as follows:
 James Accousti, 79 Hillview ave- nue; Vincent Crispino, A Meadow street: Henry J. Doran, 62 Madi- son street; Joseph H. Guilfoile, 2l East Liberty street, Joseph T Hayes, 1O7 Greenleaf avenue; Mich ael Kavula, 54 Lawlor street; James F. Little, 289 North Main street; Joseph T. Murphy, 40 Pemberton street; Robert D.

The fire departments new 85- foot aerial ladder truck, described as one of the finest pieces of fire apparatus in the country, was at the Baldwin street engine house to- day, awaiting the tests that will be made before the board of fire commissioners formally accepts it for the city. The truck arrived here yesterday afternoon from a huge freight car.
 Once the trials are completed and the truck accepted, it will be placed at fire headuarters. It will become Truck l, replacing the present Truck 1.
 In addition to the aerial ladder, the truck boasts many other fea- lures. It is euipped with loud-

(BY THE OUT EASTER)

The Elks were duly represented at the funeral of Patrick J. Mo- Partland Friday morning. That was no more than right; they should have been officially. They said goodbye" to him at a cere- mony held at Mulviiie's Thursday night; they called his name, but he couldn't answer; they record ed him as absent, yet there he lay, unconscious of it all. The dead can't answer; sometimes we wonder what they would say, if they could in the funeral services held for them after death.
 OId-Time Elk
 "Packey" Mcfarland, as many of the Brothers called him, had been an Elk for a good many years, and it seemed strange to many not to find him flittering about at the New Years coming in" party. He was part of the outfit that always assisted Jim Kilmartin, the steward, in providing the supper for the Elks and their lady friends. "Packey" was quick on his feet, right to the very end. An order to him meant prompt and instant delivery. For years he catered mostly to the same party of Elks who engaged first him a long time ago.
 His early days were spent in the North End, where the Mozart land family lived. And his early employment was in the old Clock Factory, in the days when work was steady and the pay consider ed good. Frail in statue, and none too well. he took to basketball and eventually developed into one of the best of the basketball play CTS of 30 and 35 years ago. At that time his "hang-out" was the Y. M. c. A., with which team he was associated for various sea- sons. The obituary notice said he played ball, but we doubt it. His favorite sport was on the basket ball floor. He knew his health was none too good, and that was his reason for taking up the game. And 1t improved him greatly too, inasmuch as he was able to move along these many years without serious interruption from the du- ties that employed him.
 Good Bowler
 In the Elks bowling league, he was shining light, and captain- ed a team annually or ever since

 Citizens in l939

Ten Commandments for Water burians for 1899" were prescribed by Rev. Theodore c. Bobilin, pastor of the First Methodist church at a communion service Sunday. Not only religious duties, but also civil obligations are suggested in the commandments which are as follows:
 l. Thou shalt draw nearer to God and seek only to do his will, for we get nowhere without him.
 ?. Thou shalt give prayer a prom inent place in your daily life.

 4. Thou shalt enlist as an active missioner in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

 10. Thou shalt seek to create good will and understanding among religious, political and industrial factions in our community.

 John Norton, of the American La France O., which manufactured the apparatus, arrived in Water bury today to conduct the trials. He conferred with Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh and inspected the truck.
 Several fire commissioners and number of firemen watched the un- loading of the truck at the freight yards. The commissioners will also view the final tests before accept ance of the truck.
