LOOKOUT FANS! HERE IT COMES
 BATTLE ROYAL
Six Men to Stage Carnival of Broken Bones Next
 Monday Night

Juneau mat fans will witness an ''orgy of slaughter at the Elks Hall next Monday night, February 27, at 8 o'clock Replete with groans, yells, and broken bones, the wrestling fra ternity will stage six-man Battle Royal for the edification of those who needs some excitement
 The procedure calls for seven men including the referee, who inciden- tally, takes as much beating as the participants, to be in the ring at the same time
 The first two out wrestle the first match and the second two out tangle in the second match.
 It is the refs job to remove any wrestler who gets pinned down dur ing the melee, which removal occa- sionally creates some disagreement on the part of the removee.
 In the general hubbub the trick artists can get away with almost anything and it is nothing unusual for one of the party to spend half the night pushing somebody's nose with his left foot while twisting an ear with his right hand.
 There is no time limit and the thing keeps on until either the wrestlers die from exertion or the spectators fold from excitement.
 Juneau's first flight grunt and groaners will strut their stuff in this wrestling maelstrom which will see Billy Spendlove, Walt Gaston Gene Eustace. Doc" Webb, Gordon Numa, and Al Greenwald fighting

Lazzeri
 Gets Rap
 Al Gianfs

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Tony Lazzeri, brand new Brooklyn base ball baby, has hopped into the per ennial insult-tossing contest be- tween his club and the New York Giants. He predicted a second di- vision finnish for the Giants this year if Pitchers Hal Schumacher and Carl Hubbell fail to return to form.
 "As I see it, the Giants chances are framed by big question mark" " said the Dodgers thirty -five-year- old recruit who is beginning his fourteenth season in the major leagues.
 "Hubbell and Schumacher have had to have their pitching arms re- paired. There is question they will be able to hit their peak. So what? Well, for one thing, the Giants may find themselves in the embarrassing position of having their ears knocked down frequently. It will be a pleasure. You see, am getting that Brooklyn feeling al- ready"
 Like an old firehorse pensioned to pasture who jumps every time bell rings, Lazzeri is getting the spring fidgets. He wants to get into spring training. He would leave for f.a,. of of two weeks from now, at a word from the boss.
 After twelve years with the Yankees and the 1888 stay with the Cubs, Lazzeri thinks he has plenty or baseball left in him. He is join ing Brooklyn with the idea of talk ing over the duties of regular sec- ond baseman.
 Pain in Neck
 Last years sojourn at Chicago is still a pain in the neck to the vet eran who starred in six worlds se- ries as a Yankee.
 He contends he was going good when he was yanked out of the lineup to become bench and side line fixture.
 From this years observation of the National League clubs, he picks the Cubs as the team to beat for the pennant last season. Naturally he hopes to be able. to help Brook lyn pop into the thick of the battle

$4,000 Made Available

LARGER TURKEY
CROP PROMISED
1889 Marketings to Be
Spread Over a Longer
Period

Hartford, Sept. 26.-The Connec.
ticut turkey crop is expected TO
show an increase of Is per cent over
last year, according to latest figures
released by the Federal Agricultural
Marketing Service. This would
mean a total of $4,000 turkeys oni
hand September LIST IN Connections,
this year compared with $1,000 .
year earlier.
For the United States as a whole,
it is estimated that this years tlr-
key crop will show an increase OF
% per cent over 1888.
The announcement indicated, hove
ever, the probability that the if1-
creased total crop may not be as
price depressing as the bare fig
ures alone indicate. This Is shown
! by the statement, Producers appar-
entity are marketing an unusually
large proportion of their turkeys
early this year"
The proportion to be marketed in
October, the report indicated, is 70
be greater this year, but the pro-
portion to be marketed in November
promises to be considerably smaller.
The estimated Connecticut per-
centage increase, when compared
with that of the United States as a
whole and when considered in con-
junction with the trend to spread
turkey marketings over a much
longer period than the Thanksgiv-
ing and year-end holidays, should
present to producers in this state q
more favorable price outlook than .
first glance at the report might
| indicate.

Tribute To Late
Miss Helen Pagan
BY A FRIEND


Your prayers are requested for
the repose of the soul of Helen
Pagan, and so with these words
the people of the City of Water
bury are informed of the fact
that life's line had run out for a
resident of the East End of Wa
terbury.
Helen for the past IS years was
a resident of the City of Hartford,
Conn. and employed by that city
in the capacity of supervisor of
the Isolation Hospital and had
direct supervision over all isolated
cases and also over the training
of student nurses who were sent
there from many places in the
state to take six weeks course
in that particular branch of the
nursing profession. Many of the
young student nurses who were
fortunate enough to have studied
under the direction of Miss Pagan
surely have a lot to be thank
full for-because-with her Won
derful disposition and complete
grasp of the necessary require
ments = they left Isolation Hos
pital with a complete under
standing Of every subject - in
connection with contagious dis
eases.
Miss Pagan was the thorough
student - studying continuously
in order to be fit and able to serve
her public. She spent many
hours after working hours attend
ing school =. and had just COM
pleted arrangements with the
authorizes for one years absence
in order to attend college in Wash
ington, D. G.
She came home to spend a few
days with her mother, brothers
and sisters and not feeling too well,
sent for her brother, DR.. Pagan,
who after examination immedi-
ately ordered her back to Hart
ord to be operated upon at once.
She improved for a few days and
then had a relapse and it was
Gods will that Helen was not to
complete her plans which she had
worked so hard for.
And so today after funeral
services at the Sacred Heart
Church the funeral slowly wended
its way to the final resting place
for Helen Pagan - and although
she Is gone - she will not be for
gotten by many of us - because
If there ever was a person deserv-
ing Of all the good things in life
hereafter, it was Helen Pagan =
and believing in my religion a!
do - she surely will receiv'
them. May the good Lord have
mercy on her soul.

Leader OF German American
Bund reported interested in Wa
terbury chapter.
Bunds activities shows that the Con-
pecticut Bund branches are located
in Danbury, New Haven, Norwalk,
Stamford and Waterbury.
Mueller quotes Hitler's own words
in the June, 1899, issue of his official
publication America Service, printed
in Berlin and distributed to members
by the Bund: what National Social
ism. has done for Germany, it must
DO for America"
The Look investigator describes
Bund activities in various sections
Of America and pictures Kuhn pos
mn with Hitler in Berlin. Kuhn is
also pictured talking to Mueller-a
pose which displeased Kuhn and led
to o chase of the photographer by
hin1. Kuhn later told police that
Mueller had grabbed his throat and
tried to throttle him.
Also described is the tie-up of the
Bund with native anti-democratic
organizations. An affidavit is repro
duced carrying the testimony of a
former employe Of Goebbels, stating
that. the German-American Bund's
uniforms we're originally designed in
Berlin by the propaganda ministry.
q charge by Look magazine that
the Gkrman- American Bund has a
branch operating in Waterbury was
followed today by the discovery that
pro- German propaganda through
the mails has been flooding Water
bury. The magazine article, by
william A. Mueller, asserts that the
Bund is "ardently seeking a Nazi
dictatorship for America" and
claims that five Bund chapters are
established in Connecticut, In Wa
terbury, Danbury, Norwalk, New Ha-
ven and Stamford.
Hundreds of local residents in the
past day or two have received by
mails copies of publication called
Facts in Review" which blames
Britain for starting the present
European war and staunchly de-
tends the Hitler regime. The front
page of the publication states that
it Is issued by the German Library
of Information, New York.
