zine, outlining various happenings in the gasoline line, and present. ing data and information of much interest to the average gasoline dis penser. It is most readable little paper, and affords much reading matter for the ones interested.
 Kenney TOastmaster
 The affairs is to be in charge of Joseph Kenney, as toastlnaster; Joe is the big, rosy-cheeked auto mobile salesman, one meets now and then whenever 8 new automo- bile is required. He will direct the speaking that will follow the dinner. Among those expected to be present are Chief Cavanaugh of the fire department, Lieut.. Legg of the marshal's office, and the fire marshal. The work of these fire officials is much in common with these gasoline men, and so the or- ganizatoin thinks they ought to be present.
 The proceedings are to get under way early by joint meeting of all present, after which everyone will sit down to specially prepared gasoline" dinner. Even the chicken will be "smothered" with unique devised for the occasion, bordering on a gasoline base that will make the "bird", it is claimed even more palatable than anything before served like it.
 And If an explosion takes place, the firemen present will have their bulging pocket extinguishers pre- pared to meet the situation.
 Ethyl Soup
 Ethyl soup is to be one of the rarities of the dinner.
 We are going to try and show some of our friends" explained one of the members today" that our product is so pure and clean that it is practically safe for table use. String beans that adorn some of our .anks, a delicacy in itself, in that shey were specially planted for this coming affair, will also be on the menu. We gasoline men have few hours to ourselves because of the urgent demand on the part of the public for our services, but next Tuesday ngiht will be ideal hours for us, which we expect will de- velop into a night of real pleasure, and make all of us feel better for it all afterwards"
 Dancing is to follow the dinner, for after all many of the gasoline men are married, and those who are not are on the way, as they said.

STATE BUDGET IS
 HEADACHE TO GOV.
Continued from Page D


 ed in this session of the geneal as- sembly, which only has three more weeks to run.
 New institutions were scheduled tc open duing the next biennium, C. quiring considerable funds to oper. ate deficit of about $1 1,500,00 fol the current biennium ending June 30 also was expected. The governor already has recommended this to be taken care of from unexpended money in the states building fund.
 Biggest Jolt To Gov.
 The biggest jolt given the gover- nor's economy program came or the problem of whether to shut down two state teachers colleges al New Haven and Willimantic. arlo two state trade schools and Man. chester and Middletown.
 Tn governor made this recommen- dation in his inaugural message Within 24 hours, a storm of protest against his tampering with educa- tion boke throughout the state. Al legislative hearing of the propo- sal. hundreds of educators and stu dents protested the recommends tion.
 The appropriations committee thereupon ignored the governors suggestion, proposed to continue the four fnstitutions,l and, besides, in- creased the education budget on other items.
 If the governors recommendations were adopted, $1,000,000 economy would have been affected, according to his estimates.
 Anothr Plan Opposed
 The governors proposal to pay all state police department costs from the highway fund also headed into strong opposition. A strong bloc in the legislature raised 8 cry of "di- version" of highway money.
 Nevertheless, committee recom- mendation was expected whereby 50 to 75 per cent of the state police costs would come from the highway fund.
 The appropriations committee, in many other cases, increases depart mental budget over and abave the governors recommendations.
 One proposal to bring increased revenue to the state was being dis succeed in the capitol corridors. II would increase from $20 to $100 a year the tuition fee in the state teachers colleges, bringing in about $792 ,O00 in additional revenue.
 The liquor tax proposal was for an increase of from 60 cents gallon to $1.
 Amusement tax proponents sug- gested a slight levy on theater tick cts. as well as on outdoor large scale amusements, such as fights and college football games.
 OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 12. (UP)- The special senate committee trl- vestigating the old-age assistance division of the state welfare depart ment was informed today an appro- priation for more personnel was needed to handle an increased de- mand for old-age relief.
 The committee, in private session, heard Robert J. Smith, welfare conl- missioner elect; Edward J. Reeves, director of the old-age assistance bureau, and William F. Pierson, his assistant. All agreed an increased appropriation for more help was ue- cessary to speed up handling of ap- plications.
 The committee was undecided whether to continue the anvestiga- ton with open hearings.

but on the contrary believe from our experience that much gambling of truly sordid nature is prevented by allowing the churches to con- tinue as they have for many years to conduct games of chance. To say the church by conducting ba- zaars, etc., leads the young to evil is a falsehood."
 A carnival spirit prevailed as the bill was approved and many legis- lators saluted each other with "bingo" as they passed in the halls.
 Superior Court Sessions
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 12-(UP)- Approved in the Senate and sent to the House today were bills au- thorizing superior court sessions at Meriden and naturalization ses- sions of superior court at New Brit ain.
