There are those who say the young
people are not making use of their
opportunities.
There are those who say the world
has gotten into such an economic state
that the present generation does not
have the opportunities that previous
pnes have had.
Some people seem to be able to take
hold of something and it will turn
right out into a good proposition for
them.
Other people can take what looks
like the same chances for success and
never make any progress, if they last
at it at all.
People of n type will go into
t~ething that does not promise big in
snmes and lots of honor, requiring
aSobably more nerve and good luck
. an ability.
The plodder, on the other hand, can
make a go of it only where hard work
snd economy and careful judgment
make the difference between success
or failure.
Some, in any kind of work, will hit
; hard pace for a while, working fast
aud furious, letting nothing stop them,
bot wanting to drop it all and get
clear away from it between times.
While others cannot work any other
way but slow, and keep a steady grind
right along regularly.
It is a varied world, with all kinds
OF people in it. One is somewhat like
you. Another is like me. Others are
entirely different.
How can one of us say for anotLei
how Or what he should do to b.
successful?

In a court trial about 20 miles

that a spell had been cast which
would prohibit any witness .esti-
flying against him in his trial on

And the first witness had a

Waterbury Student at Clark University Names AssO- ciated Press in SIS ,OOO Gold Fish Story Resented

manager of the swimming team, basketball player and winner of scholarships at Clark university, has been "held up to ridicule, contempt and humiliation" by the story that he became a goldfish gobbler", eating 89 of the fish alive to be, Waterbury Boy Goldfish King"
 The complaint adds that the story "interfered with pursuit of studies; caused great annoyance, embarrassment and shame; injured his good name and character"
 Diliberto, in the original story sent out over the Associated Press wire from Worcester, April l, was reported to have eaten 89 live gold- fish on the steps of Estabrook hall, Clark university, before group of students" thereby becoming cham pion" goldfish eater.
 When the Clark university senior returned to Waterbury for a holi- day just about the time the story appeared locally he denied in en- tirety the reports allegations, say- ing that someone had fooled the news association concerning his al- legged predilection for the then cur- rent fad in colleges over the land of live goldfish gobbling.

Six Prominent Firms
 Named C. E. Dealers
Outstanding Features of New Refrigerator Outlined
 Today; Public Showing Keen Interest in Product

Six prominent firms in Water bury and vicinity have been of- ficially designated as distributors of the new General Electric refriger- ator, which has won outstanding recognition among 1939's household accessories.
 The six authorized dealers include s, George Trainor, Inc, 115 Grand street; McCoy's, 158 Grand street; Redwood Furniture Co.,, 330 East Main street, Waterbury; Terryville Furniture company, Terryville, and J. P. Banks company, Bethlehem. And speaking of General Elec- tries
 You wouldn't go to anyone but an experienced physician if in i'll health. Likewise, you would have only an experienced Watchmaker re- pair a broken watch. If envolved in law suit you would hire only experienced lawyers who had rec ords of winning cases.
 So, in selecting refrigerator, you naturally will want one made by a manufacturer with experience and with reputation for making high quality products that give stand- ard and satisfactory performance.
 The General Electric company is the largest, oldest and best known manufacturer in the electrical in- dustry. Because of it's electrical experience alone, you would expect them to make the best electric re- frigerator.
 Today's General Electric Re- frigerator is the result of experi- ence gained for many years of ser vices rendered by General Electric Refrigerators already in use.
 Out of this experience have come developments and improvements such as increasing refrigerator ca pacity, 56 per cent; cutting current costs, 60 per cent; and speeding up

City's Figures Less
 Impressive Compared
 To Record Of 1888
z6 Communities in State Placed in Class Showing De- cided Increases Over the Past MOnth-TwO Per-
 mits Outstanding for Waterbury in l938

Building activity about the state increased sharply during March as compared with February 1889 and the month of March a year ago, a survey by the New Haven railroad showed today. Waterbury last month had building permits for work estimated at $50,000. This is far less than the $447,300 total of March a year ago but last year two permits accounted for most of the total.
 Last March's figures included per- mits for the municipal athletice stadium, $218,00O, and Connecticut Light & Power Co.,, gas tank, $170,- 900.
 The railroad figures show that the building permits issued by the 26 municipalities during March jumped in valuation by more than 140 per- cent above those granted by the same communities in February, and that there was an increase of more than 60 percent as compared with March, 1888.
 $3,499,848 On Permits
 Total valuation of permits issued in the 26 cities and towns reached a figure of $3,499, ,848 in March as compared with $1,440,712 in the shorter month of February. Per- mits granted by the same group in March, 1888, totaled $2,155,716.
 Gains in building activity in March were widespread throughout the State. West Hartford headed the list with permits valued at $1,- 150,277, or almost exactly one-third of the entire total for the group. Hartford's permits measured $446, ,771 and put that city in second place, while Greenwich was third with $394,700. All were substantial in- creaSeS.
 In addition to the marked gains recorded in the above cities, 20 other municipalities out of the 26 reported increases for March over February. These were Bridgeport, Bristol, Der by, East Hartford, Fairfield, Ham, den, Manchester, Meriden, Middle town, Naugatuck, New Britain, New Haven, Norwich, South Norwalk Stamford, Stratford, Torrington
