AGE TRUMPETER
 COMES TO TOWN
Bunny Berigan Plays at Hamilton Park TOmOr.
 row Night

"The greatest swing trumpeter in America" according to the nation wide poll recently conducted by Metronome, will appear in person at the Hamilton park pavilion Sunday night. Said trumpeter is none other than Bunny Berigan. Bunny brings his brand new unit to the park for it's Connecticut debut. It was rumored about a short time ago that Berigan had signed contract to play first trumpet with Benny Goodman. But, when Goodman de- cided to remain only a short time in the role of maestro of his own orchestra, Berigan completely over- hauled his own band and is now riding high with one of the swing fest outfits in the country.
 Dancing to the music of Bunny Berigan and his band gets underway Sunday night at 8:30 o'clock and continues until 12:30.
 woody" Herman and his famous Decca recording band, purveyors of Dixieland music, have been booked for the Park for Sunday, February 18th.

LAST RITES MAKE
 RADIO OPRECEDENT
Ceremonies for Pope Plus X First Papal Funeral
 Heard Over NEG

When the National Broadcasting company brought to its listeners the ritual of the last rites for His Holiness, Pope Plus XI, 1t was the first time in history that a Papal funeral had been heard through the medium of radio.
 The broadcast at 10:15 a. rn., EST, last Tuesday, from the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament of St. Peters in Vatican City, was immediately followed by pickup from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, where solemn pontifical mass of requiem was being celebrated, att tended by over six thousand chil- dren of the archdiocese of New York.
 Over NEG networks the ceremony of the funeral of the late pontiff was described by commentator as the Julian Choir chanted the beau- tiful liturgy, and the chimes of St. Peters mournfully tolled in the background.
 The American public heard the choir intone the "Exaltation" and the dean of the Chapel of St. Peters impart absolution. Impressive pic- lures were given the NEG audience of the bier in which rested the body of Plus xI, clothed in the vestments of an archbishop and with a golden mitre, of the priests in black and white, of the papal guard in red jackets and green helmets, and of the colorful Swiss Guard. The de- scription continued as preparation was made to take the body of the Pope, with ancient ceremony, to the Cathedral crypt
 The childrens mass, broadcast from St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City. which followed the funeral ceremony on the NEG net works, was said by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Michael J. Lavelle, rector of the cathedral. The Rev. John Middleton delivered the eulogy.

WOMEN VOTERS
 TO BE NEUTRAL
Take No Action on PrO- posed City Manager Plan
 for Waterbury

The Waterbury League of Women Voters refused yesterday to take a stand endorsing city manager form of government for Waterbury. The league likewise declined to op- pose the plan, and voted to take no definite stand and to leave support or opposition of the plan up to its members individually.
 Earlier 1t had been reported that the league not only favored a refer endum on the question, but defi- nitely favored the city manager plan itself. This report, it developed yes- terday at meeting at the Water bury Club, had been issued by Mrs. Frederick "A, Faust, president of the league:
 "A discussion as to what action, If any, the Waterbury League of Women Voters would take regard ing local bills led to no vote. The view of a good many of those pres ent at the meeting was that the league should make clear that it was supporting the bill for a refer endum on city charter proposals but. being an educational organiza- ton, that it could neither favor nor oppose this particular city mana ger plan itself. The league will urge its members to inform them selves about the city manager plan and take action as individuals for or against the measure If the refer endum is enacted"
 At yesterdays meeting Miss Daisy Lord, president of the classroom teachers department of the state, defended the states educational sys- tenn and its operation.
 Selection of juries was described by Mrs. c. E. Vollmeyer, while Mrs, James c. Howell of Bethany spoke against reduction of state educa- tional services.

A QUIET EVENING AT HOME
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 A quiet evening at home
 Doesn't always pan out, If it isn't the children it's the dog That dad would like to clout. What happened to the program That he so carefully plannedP A cigar, a book, the radio
 How did 1t get out Of hand? The kids stayed up all hours Because it was Friday night, Mother went out to her club So they let loose all right. Instead of radio program A man could enjoy, The youngsters twisted the dials, All they did was annoy, Gone were the hours of reading For those demon house wreckers Bothered dad until he agreed To play game of Chinese checkers Thus 1t went until late hour, On and on went the dial tone; Why or why did he ever decide On quiet evening at home?
