IRELAND HONORS
 REV. JOHN MURPHY

Newton, Mass, March 29-UP)- The Very Rev. William J. McGarry s. J., president of Boston college announced last night he had been notified that the National University of Ireland has conferred a degree of doctor of philosophy in Celtic studies on the Rev. John E. Murphy s. J., 38, of Newton.
 Father Murphy, now at St. Ig- natius college at Galway, Ireland will arrive here next month to teach summer course on poets and writ CTS of the 17th, 18th and 18th cen- turies at Boston college.
 A native of Newton, Father Mur- phy was educated at Our Lady of Lourdes school here, Boston college, the Jesuit seminary at Lenox, Wes- ton college and St. Ignatius college. He taught for two years at Boston college high school.
 His briother Charles is 8 Secular priest at St. Peters church at Cam bridge.

students to enroll at other high schools in the country. But the townspeople raised such fuss that the idea was immediately shelved.
 Although the school is tiny, the curriculum matches that of much larger ones. Four instructors teach the nine pupils English, science, mathematics, history, foreign lan- guages, commercial subjects, busi- ness, home economics, and. manual training.
 Originally butt in 1879, the school plant has been enlarged from the one room structure, needed then, to four classrooms and an assembly hall.
 When scoffers raised doubts con- corning the validity of Indian Rivers claim to having the smallest high school in the world, the local Chamber of Commerce went into action. Questionnaires were sent to small towns all over the country, asking for enrolment figures. As yet, Indian Rivers title has not been challenged.
 Coach McClutchey's success with his basketball team has led to sev- eral flattering offers of better jobs in larger schools, but he likes it here. In addition to his educational duties, McClutchey is a leading business man in the town, operating 8 clothing store.
 The seven boy students have just one hope-that the male enrolment will pick up some day to at least eleven. They'd like to have a foot ball team.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-29

These moving targets, however, are not to be of the common garden variety. None of the moving rabbits and ducks of the shooting galleries.
 The target at which the German worker is to pop a recreational gun are to be steel-helmted infantry men coming over the top toward the rifieman; banking, turning, spin- ming and zooming war-planes; para chutists dangling in midair; attack ing tanks and cavalry columns.
 These, at least, are the targets displayed at the shooting range of the Labor Fronts Berlin Model Show. For the labor front does not only suggest; 1t also shows how it can and ought to be done.
 No Rifle Rests
 The Labor Fronts model shoot ing range is room about 6 yards long and yards wide. The upper part of the door leading into this room is cut out. The remaining lower part forms stand for the riflemen. There are no arms rests, nor are there pegs to rest the rifle on. At the far end of the room, op- posite the door, is what appears to be an ordinary moving picture screen.
 By pressing button of an elec- tric device, moving pictures of bat tie scenes, complete with bursting shells and the occasional toppling over of running man, appear on the screen as they would appear on the screen as they would appear to sniper in the trenches. The only thing lacking to make it real is the noise of battle, for the pictures are silent ones.
 Pictures of World War
 Most of the pictures of advancing infantrymen at the Labor Front model range were taken during the World War, while a few show ad- vancing loyalists in the Spanish civil war. Strangely, the pictures of the World War depict chiefly English soldiers.
 The pictures of stunning air. planes are of a later date, as are those of attacking tanks; that is, with one exception. One of the pictures of 8 tank attack, a Labor Front official said, actually was taken at Cambrai, France in Co., tober, 1917, when the British, for the first time in history, employed this modern weapon.
 At thacn fhA Gnrx,, = ., worker pops away. Moreover, he, as well as his fellow-rif1emen, will know whether his aim was correct and whether he got his man. For the moment the small leaden pel- let shot by rifle hits the screen, the moving picture stops and a small lighted spot appears where the bullet struck.
 Rifles Like Regulation Arms
 The rifles to be used on these shooting ranges are of a uniform type. They are air-rifieS resembling the German regulation army rifle which they also approximate in weight. These rifles are made at the Labor Fronts own arms fac- tory at Suhl, Thuringia, which that organization took over few years ago from its Jewish owner on the grounds that he no longer could be "Betriebsleiter" - that is. owner or manager - of a plant, handling state orders, as he had so it was claimed, swindled the state out of huge sums.
 The Labor Front rifles are not for sale. They are rented out for a monthly fee of two marks each to members of the organization - and practically every German worker, as well as employer. is a member.
 Labor Front officials declare that such shooting ranges as their model already are in existence in many German factores, workshops and offices.

Sewage Plant
In Operation
On West Side

The new sewage disposal plant
lust completed to the north of the
city limits is now in operation and
is serving the western part Of town.
All sewage from William street to
the west, and few small areas on
North Rowland street is going to
the new disposal plant. Mayor Hen
ry T. Powell said today.
The eastern half Of the city has
not been cut in. and will not be
until a connecting pipe line is laid
Under the Seaboard and Southern
Railroad tracks from William street
across into Spring street That east
ern half of the city will then be
pumped to the new plant on the OPP
posite side OF town.
Engineers and representatives Of
the city, the contractors and the
PWA made thorough inspection
CT the new construction work last
week Final acceptance has not yet
been given by the city, and will
not be until the Spring street pipe
line is completed, the Mayor said
But the western portion Of the city
is already cut in on the new plant.
The project has been constructed
during the past ten months at a
cost Of little more than 100000,
Of which IS percent was an out
right grant Of the Federal PWA.
The city sold its own bonds for the
remainder. The work was to have
been completed by last August 10,
but delays prevented this. First
work on the project began in late
December last year, but it was very
slow in gathering momentum, and
not a great deal of work was done
before toward the end Of the Win
ter.
Once or twice the PWA was APP
pealed to for additional small cash
contributions to the work, due to
changes and alterations that were
found advantageous. These were
granted

A Top Notch Airport
Tw O Runways o +

Are Now Being Con
structed; II a n g a r
Soon to Be Built At
Parks Farm N e a r
City.

An airport for Henderson, otter
talked. sometimes sought, is now last
becoming a realty, with construction
work being pushed forward at a
rapid clip.
The field is located on the Parks
farm, on a road leading from Bear
pond TO Gillburg, and is now beng
dragged preparatory to leVellng OIL
The minimum of construction work
is needed to put the field into con-
dition to accommodate small planes.
An additional factor that makes inc
field so desirable IS the clearance
for long distances at each end OF the
runWays.
Two runways are being construct
ed. one of 500 feet and the other OF
1880 feet. A hangar is to be built
there to house planes, it has been
said.
R. B. Hester and E. T. Creole,
aviation enthusiasts, are behind the
project. Creole already has his plane,
ana plans to bring IL here as soon
as the runWays are completed.
There are several young fhers IN
Henderson, and il is understood that
several OF the young men plan to
purchase airplaneS to operate from
the field.
The 1Ield is being constructed by
private interests, but IS to be used
tor the benefit OF the public. A lease
of one year, with privilege OF con-
tinuing for an indefinite period, has
been granted.
