. SERIAL STORY
 pDlNE NA nlINHET BY JANET DORIAN "A tss NgAs

couldn't have. Worries after she got it, for fear she wouldn't be able to make the payments and might lose 1t. Worries over suits, coats, gowns, wraps. But always the same. Always budget worries.
 All her married life, too. Worry ing over the powder blue suit the very night. Bart asked her to marry him. Then silencing her worries because of what she could do, once she had 1t.
 That night, Bart was home ahead of her. Lying on his bed, covered with a satin puff, Ill with severe cold. Tired, and ill, and silent. Iris tried to make him take some medicine, some aspirin, or a gargle, or something but he re- fused. He was all right; leave him alone. She tried to make him have a doctor.
 q don't want a doctor, and I couldn't pay one if I had him. Now get out and leave me alone, will you?"
 In the kitchen, feeling rather abused and neglected, she scram- bled two eggs and made coffee. There was some Short-cake left, and some salad. Eating her solitary supper. Iris decided budgets weren't much fun. Not mixed with marriage they weren't. Because the budgets were to blame for all this. If Bart weren't so set on living within his old budget book restrictions, every thing would be fine.
 In the middle of the night, she heard Bart proving around. And speaking to him sharply, was alarmed to discover he was walk ing in his sleep. His voice sound ed queer and thick, and a trif1e shrill, but he got back into bed again directly when she spoke to him. And right after that he had a chill. Shaking so her own bed three feet away trembled, Iris was alarmed and got up.
 She got her heavy winter coat and her spring coat, and his over- coat and piled them on his bed. She lighted the gas and boiled wa ter and got hot water bottle. Still he shook so his teeth trembled and he kept sneezing in awful spasms of seven or eight sneezes at a time.
 At ', when Iris awoke again, he was delirious and did not know her. Frantically, she called doc- tor.

Marking the Birth IOf America

CAY, excited, overcrowded city - was New York just 150 years ago, April 30, l789. It was wait- ing to witness the inauguration of George Washington as first Pres- ident of the United States, and simultaneously the birth of Amer ica.
 Y At dawn the first cannon salutes reused the city. By g o'clock church bells were calling thou- sands to worship and pray for the success of the new President and the new nation. Then caMe the solemn, impressive inaugural cer- emonies themselves.
 Washington was conducted to the Senate chamber of Federal Hall and thence to the balcony where Chancellor R. R. Living ston administered the oath of of- flee about 12 o'clock.
 Solemnly the President placed his hand on the Bible, said, q swear, so help me God" Then the chancellor said, "It's done," and he turned to the crowd, waved his hand and shouted, Long live George Washington, President of the United States!" The crowd flung back the same words in a long, laundering re- sponse. Thus. the government of the United States was formally launched.
 Washington taking the oath is shown above on new U. s. stamp commemorating the 150th anniversary.

s$1 ASD ys AS&s
 The political pot in Waterbury is beginning to boil. Already the Curb Stone orators have advanced the names of various men as candidates on both major tickets. Those same orators will tell you that the City Manager Plan of Government has no chance of winning the approval of the voters in this great city.
 Speaking of the City Manager Plan of Government, 1t must be admitted by those close to the local political picture that the measure has considerably more support throughout the city than the politicians and ward heelers would have you think. Make no mistake, this issue if and when it is placed directly before the voters is going to be red hot. The suc- cess of the plan depends entirely on how successful the campaign is that the Good Government As- sociation wages between now and the day of the referendum.
 Few Familiar
 At the moment there are only very few people in the city who are acquainted with the full pro- visions of the act. All of which makes one stop to wonder just what the thoughts are in the minds of the average voter.
 Will MT. and Mrs. Voter support the Plan? will they vote against 1t? Those are the questions which are burning the ears of every poli- tician (Great and not so great) in this city. Those are the questions which will haunt every moment of the politician,s life from now, until the early part of October.
 There can be no denying that there are many good features contained under the proposals of the City Manager Plan of Govern- ment.
 There Is much to be learned from those proposals. because many of them have mighty good logic. On the other hand there are many proposals which do not have such logic.
 But it must be remembered that in this special referendum election it will bc political suicide, 70 to speak. for either of the major parties to make an issue Of the plan. Neither party dare oppose it. spenly. For politicians know. des- plte what they might tell you io llln contrary, thel lhcre ln plenty og support foE We aaQptlon Of the

SCOVILL EMPLOYES
 ENJOY FAIR VISIT
Delegation of 800 Visit Various Attractions;
 Near Record

A delegation of 500 sightseers from the Scovill Mfg. Go. boosted the total attendance at the Worlds Fair on Saturday to the third high est yet reached in a single day. The only days with higher attendance figures were the opening day and May IA. Another factor besides the size of the local contingent was the fact that the new bargain tickets were being offered to visitors. These combination tickets sold for only 20 cents worth of food, and admission to five stipulated amusement at- fractions.
 Three hundred of the excursion iSts from Waterbury went to Bridge port and back by a special train, the other two hundred going in private cars. All of them went from Bridgeport on the steamer Richard Peck, and the informal entertain ment provided on the boat ran a close second to the spectacles seen at the fair in making the day a successful one. A great many of the visitors to the Fair brought back souvenirs of the Copper building where exhibits of the Scovill com pany and other Waterbury brass plants are on display.
 The trip, attended by the employ es of the Scovill company and their families, was planned by the enter tainment committee of the Scovill Foremen's association. Co-chairmen were William F. Cleary and John Griffin, assisted by Leonard Seaver, James Shannahan, J. Milton Bur- rall, Burton P. Hyde, John Thomas, Charles Fully, James Nagle, Jerry Bowling, Gene Sullivan, William McGowan, Nelson Squires, Peter Bradley, Arthur Curtiss, Ralph Bailey and John Hoben.

 Tilt On Manager Pla1, Expresses Opinion That Advocates Here Have
 Excellent Chance of Winning Approaching
 Referendum For Change in System

City Managers Form of Govern ment, all their arguments not- withstanding.
 Conventions
 Another great disadvantage that both major parties will be under is the fact that they will not hold their nominating conventions un- til AFTER the referendum is voted on. Thus, with everything in their favor the proponents of the measure can lay down a heavy artillery barrage about two weeks before the vote and there is no one in this city who can honestly tell you the plan will or will not be defeated.
 Consider these facts facts incidentally which will be laid before every person in this city between this time and the day of the election First <. |. Tax Bills with an increase) will be sent out. Payable on or before the FIRST OF OCTOBER. The Con- spiracy trial which is now under way will come to an end only FIVE WEEKS BEFORE the vot- ing takes place. Third . There will be no open opposition to the City Manager Plan. Fourth |. Those who voted for Jasper (The not so Great) McLevy last October will certainly vote for the adopt ion of the plan. Fifth the plan has the support of many, many Republicans plus considerable amount of support from the Small property owners"
 Combine all of these facts to- gether and you can readily see why am of the opinion that the City Manager Plan of Govern ment is going to have a great deal more support than you are lead to believe.
 On Triai Here
 Perhaps the greatest reasons for It's adoption is the fact that if the plan goes into effect 1t will mean that the "City Manager Form of Government" Is actually on trial here in Waterbury. on trial for every person to Judge. Civic leaders in every other city and town in the state will keep their eyes on Waterbury. They will watch with deep interest the man. ner in which the plan works out, providing. of course that it is adopted

Riverside Street Property Owners To
 Express Grievances
War Department Engineers, City Officials to Attend General Meeting to Discuss Proposed Changes
 in Layout of Naugatuck River

most favorable report a property owners committee has had during the past three years. Edmund J. Daly of the Bank street plumbing firm also stated his intention of at- tending the meeting as did officials of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry and Plume and Atwood Manufactur- ing Company. Andrew Frederick, a property owner on North Riverside street, will be one of the spokesmen for residents of that locality.
 It was learned today that the War Department engineers who will be present at this meeting have been engaged here in a survey of the Naugatuck river for the past seven weeks and have made complete study of the prevailing conditions from the Browns Meadows section to the City lines in South Water bury. Their activities in this section have been as a result of interest taken in the project by Congress man J. Joseph Smith who several months ago made a personal visit to the homes of many residents of North Riverside street. These resi- dents have also been visited by members of the Board of Public Works and others interested in a correction of conditions as they are at the present time.
 Large Attendance
 Leaders of the movement for flood relief said today that the meeting tomorrow afternoon should attract a a large attendance. They have urged all property owners to be present, or be represented by some member of their immediate families, since it is important that the general prob- lem be taken up and all complaints be given a proper hearing.
