The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-02

Gov Cross carried that ward by only 9 votes, and was the only Democratic nominee to carry that ward in that election, majorities of some Republican candidates ranging from 89 to 373.
 Yesterdays election proved, Dem- ocratis claim, that the big Socialist vote in the November election was not caused by anything locally. The Democrats believe their party got many votes from those who last fall voted Socialist.

 Our biggest expense for the year was the replacement of pipes lead- ing to the furnace, this being ne- cessary owing to leakage.
 Through the kindness of Mir Krell we were able to have the girls bathroom painted and other work done We greatly appreciate MT. Krell's giving us his time and labor in this matter. With new lin- oleum on the floor and new shades at the windows, its appearance is much improved.
 Mrs. Samuel E. Hopkins gave us a beautiful new frigidaire. MT. Mill ton Robey installed this without eX- pense to us. The new ice box will not only save expense in several ways, but it also makes a marked improvement in the appearance of the kitchen department.-Mary w. North, chairman.
