structions have been issued as yet to the county commissioners, who are in charge of the building.
 At Tuesdays meeting it is eX- pected that definite instructions based on an acceptance or refusal of the terms of the recommenda- tions, will be given the county com- missioners, Commissioner Jacob Walter of Cheshire, in charge of the local building, said today that pending the meeting Tuesday he would take no action.
 No Funds Mentioned
 The committee report contained no allowance of funds for any alter ations to the present county con- missioner's quarters.
 Agitation for the enlargement of the present building or construction of new courthouse started because of sthe long duration of the Water bury conspiracy trial, and the grand jury probe. Two courtrooms and several other rooms are required by the state and defense in connection with the sessions.

or two. Old residents will never forget the friendly colored Greg ory, who once ran shop on East Main St., near the junction of Cole St. but just where we are un- able to state.
 AS we look about the shops now, we note few in operation that are not owned outright by the Italian. Bill Corbett still conducts a high class shop. So does Jimmy Gillen over at the Elton. Fred Albers, one of the few Germans left, con- tinues in business in Bank St. near the Buckingham building. Jack Dillon, another favorite barber, yields slick razor, and a sharp pair of scissors at his shop on Phoenix Ave. Jack has always been well-liked fellow. that's the reason his old time customers fol- low along.
 Early Days!
 All of which makes us think back to the early days of the nineteen hundreds when Water bury had some high and exclusive barber shops in the heart of the city conducted by the late Eddie Landers, George Kleeber, Samuel Greenberg, Tom Hill, George Lam bert, George Clearwater, Henry Stieler, with another favorite place known as Dillon'S, on South Main street, near Grand street, and right next to Boylan's we'll known egg house. At that time, most of the barbers around the heart of the city were Germans. Big Mike Kelly had well-patronized shop up Baldwin street way. Mike was a rollicking sort of a fellow, good natured and full of fun. His we'll trimmed moustache made. him a conspicuous figure as he wended his way to the center, twirling it from end to end, as he between times puffed on a high favored cigar. Mike. too, eventually gave up the business, as he too, good looking man that he was, joined the police department. He has since died.
 Tips
 There were tips of course in the old days, in the central places, but few among the shops in the outskirts. But today, the practice is carried on, and 10 and behold the customer who forgets it after he has been all "dolled" up with the various creams and hair ton icS that are so abundant today.
 BarberS are great fellows, don't forget that. They may occasion ally talk one to sleep, but they never forget to add a massage or so, after you have told them at the outset just what you are in the chair for.
 But that is business, we suppose, and who should kick.
 For our part we don't care, even if we are amused.

DEVINE'S DEATH
 HELD ACCIDENTAL
Acting Coroner Completes Probe of Fatal Fall Yes=
 terday Morning

Acting Coroner William B. Hen messy said today that the death of Joseph E. Devine, 34, of 569 High land avenue, killed in fall from third floor window of the apartment of MT. and Mrs. Thomas DelinikS at 19 Congress avenue early yesterday morning was obviously accidental.
 The coroner concluded the death was accidental after questioning MT. and Mrs. Deliniks and other witt nesSes. Devine, a substitute teacher in the local grammar schools for the past 12 years, died of a frac- tured skull, according to Dr. Harold F. Morrill,, assistant medical ex- aminer.
 The funeral will be held Monday morning from the Mulville funeral home, 270 West Main street, to St. Patrick's church at 9:15 o'clock. A solemn high mass will be celebrated at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in the family plot in the new St. Joseph's cemetery.
 Police said Devine fell from the window he had opened for air. He is believed to have fallen backwards, as finger marks on the sill and the clapboards immediately below indi- cate he tried to save himself.
 Survivors include his mother, Margaret (Kane) Devine, and one sister, Miss Ann R. Devine.

He has been in France for the past five years. ~a

BY THE OUT EASTER

The barbers of Waterbury held a dance and minstrel show at Temple hall Friday night. We. were there, not that we can dance, but we do like minstrels, and so attended at the invitation of our good Italian barber. We had a good time, for it gave up another opportunity to mix with our Ital- ian friends, and enjoy their excep- tional hospitality.
 But it made us dream back, look back, to the time that the late Denny Meo was about the only Italian barber in Waterbury. That was back at or around the advent of the present century, 1900. There may have been one or two others, but if so, they were not as prom inently known as the flashily dressed Meo.
 Out East"
 Out East never had an Italian barber at that time. We had our favorite. the late Bill Cosgrove across the street from the Church of the Sacred Heart, where all of us in our tender years had our hair cut, or down the street a few blocks when the late Billy Goggins conducted his shop in and around Orange St., where Jack Heating is in business. Billy joined the police force, and was followed by Cuddy German. Cuddy also became a cop after 1900. and he was fol- lowed by the late Patrick Cava- naugh, always prominent in the affairs of the Barbers' union, and a loyal worker for that body.
 In those days, our barbering was done practically by the Irish, the German, few Americans of May flower ancestry, and a colored man

on in an undictated manner with suggestions, sympathetic under standing guidance and stability. As many know, the daytime care of the child is given to keep the fam- fly intact, to provide care that will make 1t unnecessary to break up the home. In accepting the child the nursery must appreciate the need for physical care, balanced diet habit training and the educational needs which include conformity to accepted social forms. Then, of course, there is the realm of emo- tional needs which include a sense of security and satisfaction. They know the child's sense of security will come from growing self-confi- dence. A mother, leaving her child at the nursery for the day, will rest assured of her child's safety and comfort. And she will know, too, that the workers are watching her child's physical development, char acter building, the mental, the emo- tional, the social and play develop ment.
 Capacity Number
 Miss Ball says "The Day Nursery is a very active place, and in spite of the depression we are taking care of capacity number. We stress three-fold custodial plan of care, i. e. health, education and so- cial service. Beside those who have long been friends and generous sup porters of the nursery, former nur- sery children now show their ap- preciation of early care by bringing in their own children, asking our advice, giving donations and in oth- CT ways expressing their loyalty to us. Friends who have never or who have not of late visited the nursery should call to see our improve ments and increased facilities for work and play. We are proud of our newly decorated playroom for the pre-school group. YOU ARE WELCOME AT ANY TIME.
