OLD COLONY ROAD
 IS GIVEN DELAY
Gov. of Mass. Had Asked for It in Order to
 Reorganize

New Haen, Conn.,, Aug. 29.-(UP) Proposed abandonment of AT pass enger stations of the Old Colony Railroad in Southeastern Massachu- sets on Sept. "A was postponed un- til Jan. 1, 1940, today by agreement of representatives of the road, bond holders and the state.
 Within the period of postponement, according to Paul Revere, Attor- ney General for Massachusetts, Old Colony trustees and state officials would confer concerning service re- visions, the closing of some stations for retrenchment purposes and the development of plan to place the road in solvent condition for reor- ganization purposes.
 The delay was asked by Massachu- sets Gov. Leverett Saltonstall to permit his special study commission time to survey coordination of trans portation facilities in and around the greater Boston area.
 Railroad trustees reserved the right, however, to petition the inter- state commerce commission to dis continue the Boston Group" of the roads lines, serving Greenbugs, Ply mouth and Middleboro.
 Federal Judge Carroll C.. Hincks, who approved the delay, observed, however, that "the public interest and the interest of the investors ap- pears to be in direct conflict"
 Maintaining the Al stations, 1t was testified, would cost the road 100000 a year through furnishing service to the public at less than cost. Trustees planned to apply this saving to reducing the deficit.

Offers Aid

The meeting drew an audience of 25 colored people and was called by Rev. s. w. Weller, new pastor of the church, with the idea of consider ing matters affecting the welfare of colored people in Waterbury.
 Mrs. Alexander called the atten- tion of her listeners to the matters of registration, advising the colored people to register at the State Elm ployment Office and keep on in- quiring there. When something is offered them she advised them to accept even though it may not be quite the thing they desire.
 She declared she stood ready at all times to help colored people se- cure positions of certain kinds, in fact she was always receiving calls for colored people to fill positions She added that positions of skill can only be filled by skilled laborers and urged members of the race tc manifest a little more perseverance, that there is such a thing as be- coming part of the local set-up in matters and that there were many promising people who might have obtained employment here had they remained here long enough to be known and proved.
 The pastor outlined the purpose of the gathering and remarked on the apparent lack of organization and the indifference displayed in the securing of civic positions and recognition as group.
 He called for expression; of opin- ion and Thomas Petteway, at pres- ent student at North Carolina State College for Negroes, in Dur

 The festival will be under the patronage of Louis Lumiere, in- ventor of motion pictures.

Georges Huisman, director general of the Beaux Arts, will be the French delegate.
 The best film of each nation will receive the Grand Pri: of the Cannes festival. The Louis Lu- miere Cup will be awarded to the best director. A series of other cups and medals, not yet designat- cd, will be awarded for the best male and female leads, best photography, scenarios, producers, musical scores and special prizes given for short length films, including documen- taries, cartoons, scientific and edu- ca tional films.
