TROOPS RETURNING HOME FROM WAR
Local Guardsmen Destroy Enemy Tanks, Frustra-
 ting Surprise Attack
Especial to The Democrat BY LIEUT., HUBERT RIGNEY


 East Beekmantown, N. r., August p. - The Waterbury units of the l02 Infantry arrived back in the base camp at noon today after a tour which was not anywhere near so strenuous as the previous one. The regiment was in divisional re- serve and did not take part in the actual fighting except in one or two instances. We stayed a few hours in the woods then marched 8 few miles to another piece of woods and so on through the entire day. Late In the afternoon we were wait ing in a piece of woods near Kerns Mills for the engineers to repair the damaged bridge over the Saranac River. Suddenly three or four enemy tanks came at us from side road. They were immediately taken care of by Lieutenant Bill Dillon's crew with the 37 millimeter gun. They fired point blank at the tanks as each in turn came around the corner of the road and in actual warfare would have been destroyed. If Lieutenant Dillon's crew had not been on the job these tanks would have routed our battalion very quickly, as our rifles and machine guns could not penetrate tn tank armour. The tents are all being taken down today and the men will sleep in pup tents. Tomorrow noon We go out for the final big maneuver which will last until Friday eve ming. We are the Black force in this | battle; We have been the Blues up to now. All 53,000 troops in the area | will take part In the maneuver. We will go aboard our train at about B o'clock Friday night. The train does not leave, however, until about midnight. We are due in Water bury about neon Saturday. Satur- day afternoon will be spent in check Ing in equipment. Sunday the men will be required to be at the armory md the final end of the training period will be Sunday night. This final two-day maneuver in the deld should be quite interesting md we will probably have quite a 'it to do. The boys will arrive ,cme with many stories of their experiences and will have a pretty 'ood idea of many phases of actual var conditions.

Naugatuck, August 24. - Another group of WPA workers has been assigned to sidewalk project work This makes six groups now working on sidewalks locally. It is hoped to clear up sidewalk work, request ed by residents here last winter and this summer, before the fall season ends.
 The new sidewalk gang started work today. They are not addi- tional members of the WPA, how ever, having been working on other WPA projects.
 Some walk work is being done on Terrace avenue, Bridge and School streets and Hard street now.
 Although a new WPA period start ed today, no new reassignments have been made to the WPA personnel here. Officials of the borough are wondering why some of the WPA workers discharged more than month ago, have not been returned to their work. Most of the vacan- cies caused by their discharge are still open and the former workers have been recertified locally.
 It Is expected that Warden John J. Sheridan vii ltake up this matter with the New Haven WPA head quarters when he returns next week from a vacation.
