 ENROLLED BY COE
City's Popular Industrial; Executive Pays Tribute
 to Organizations Work z

The philosophy and the practical purposes of the Y. M. c. A. are ems phasized in public letter written by John A. Coe, president of the American Brass Company. MT. Coo points out that the success of the Waterbury branch has been so out- standing as to induce representa- tives of China, Mexico. Esthonia, Canada, Italy and many American cities to visit here to study at close range the programs of activities SO popular locally. MT. Coe speaks in connection with the annual appeal of the Y. M. c. A.
 He states, "The local Y. M. c. A. is much more than an effort to keep youth of the street. It is program of Christian education. in which young people experience the charac-, ter growth which comes from work-s ing togethe rin democratic groups, in contrast to the systems of regi-i mentation. The Y. M. c. A. is a Growth in Self Government. It
 Among the points stressed is vital factor in our community life" states Interest and growth in character and personality, come when persons plan and direct their own programs. There are now 1Q self-governing councils with each council having a number of self -gov- erning groups in it.
 "This democratic functioning of large numbers of young men and women, and younger youths, at the three branches and the camp, offers ideal opportunity for charac- ter and citizenship comes as result of groups sharing responsibilities.
 '"The Waterbury Y. M. c. A. has become known internationally for its four-fold program of Christian education and fraternal self-govern- ing clubs. By Christian education. the Y. M. c. A. means Training in Living to Meet the Problems of Life"
 Some years ago the National Y. M. c. A. selected Waterbury as an experimental station to study how to make the whole Y. M. c. A. pros gram build Christian character" The late Dr. Robert Seneca Smith of Yale directed this study"

300 YOUNGSTERS. AT FULTON PARK.
Only One Fish Caught, But Young Anglers Get
 Thrill of Season

Devotees of the sometimes gentle, sometimes strenuous art of fishing for trout with flies, were out in hordes Saturday for the opening of the season. But, horror of horrors, the lively game fish, both native and stocked, sneered at all attempts to lure him up through cold, swollen waters by such media as the in- genious fly fisherman might con- trive.
 It was a day when the worm well-turned upon some amateurs hook, sufficed for sport of an an- cient kind and usually attributed to small boys lolling on shady banks at ease, still fishing. The boys and the worms had all the best of 1t.
 Most of the local fishermen re- ported that fish were taken and most, casting aside the usual tall tale of a swish of a fly expertly placed at the edge of a pool and just beyond the ripple-a big one that got away-admitted that worms were the thing.
 Those who started with worms and continued along the public streams exhibited fair catches, in few cases.
 There were good fish taken from the Pomperaug river, the public brook at Cornwall, and many an- other stocked stream.
 Out of the juvenile mob of 300 or more youngsters fishing at Fulton park by special permit of the park department, single catch was of- ficially reported. But the youngsters had lots of fun and were willing to believe the assurances of officials that there's fish in them waters 7 The pool was stocked last year for exclusive use of children 16 years and under.
