ROBINSON WILL
 CASE WEARS END
Defendant Is Expected to Take Stand When Trial
 Resumes Tuesday

Stephen Robinson, president of the Palace Cleaners and Dyers of Waterbury, whose wife, the late An- na Buck Robinson, left him an es- tate valued at more than $24,OOO, will testify in superior court Tues day morning when the hearing in the appeal from probate resumes. The appeal was taken by Mrs. Rob- inSon'S father, LorenZ Buck, who seeks to break the will on tine grounds that his daughter was un- der the domination of her husband and was too ill to make out will.
 Mrs. Lillian Lescke, sister of the late Mrs. Robinson, testified last week that it was she who sought to break the will, not for personal gain, but because she wished to see that her sisters real wishes are respect ed. These wishes, she said, were to bequeath only half of her estate to MT. Robinson. Her father, she said, never, knew about or had any inter- est in the proceedings which are be- ing handled by Atty. Edward Mas colo.
 MT. Buck also testified last week. Infirm, partly deaf, and speaking broken English, the 79-year- man said his son-in-law was good to him, paid his board, and often gave him pennies and treated him to beer. Through MT. Mascolo, however, he also said that Robinson had him sign waiver on the will under pre- tense that he was really signing in- surance papers.

 Surprise Autoists
Cars Must Be Moved at Expiration of Time Limit;
 Ordinance to Be Adopted By Aldermen Monday

effect in most cities where meters are now in operation. He said he did not believe this part of the ordin- ance should be difficult of enforce ment by the police.
 The ban on parking for more than the period allowed in any section is apparently for the purpose of hav- ing metered areas open for parking as much as possible. MT. Lynch holds that if cars were allowed to remain in the same place through several periods even though the nec- essary coins were dropped in for each period, there would be a few parking spaces available.
 However, there does not appear to be anything in the ordinance to prevent a driver from moving his car from the space it occupied into the first available free space, as he long as he puts the required fee into the machine.
 The ordinance was presented to the aldermen last Monday night. A committee which has studied its provisions will ask for it's adoption at the meeting this Monday night.

BLUE BARRONAT RITZ TOMORROW
Vaughn Monroe Scheduled to Make Bridgeport De-
 but December 8

The gay romantic music of Yes- terday and Today played in the Blue Barron way will be heard at the Ritz Ballroom in Bridgeport, Sunday December 1st. when talent ed Blue Barron brings his orchestra there for one night engagement. The Barron has been featured at the famous Green Room of the Hotel Edison in New York, and fre- quently upon nationwide networks. The sweet blending of the voices of the Three Blue Nots, Russ Car- lyle, Ronnie Snyder and Ernie Straub, not forgetting Charlie Fish CT, has made the Blue Barron one of the most pleasing to listen to dance bands. Their sensational en- gagement at Manhattan's Para mount is still talked of.
 There is dancing every Thursday at the Ritz with the Casa Ritz or chestra.
 Vaughn Monroe, the maestro who was such a success upon his recent Ritz debut will be heard on Sunday December 9th. On Saturday nights, every other dance is in the thrill ing three quarter waltz tempo, the Casa Ritz orchestra playing them.

Motorists will be surprised to learn that the parking meter or dinance, which comes before the board of aldermen Monday night for approval. forbids the parking of any car in the same space for two consecutive periods, even though fees for two periods are paid.
 For instance: If the limit on a certain street is 60 minutes and the fee is five cents, the car must be moved at the end of the 60 minutes or be tagged. The ordinance ex- pressly forbids the driver to put an- other nickel in the meter to stay for another 60 minutes.

 Not so long ago, coal pits grew like ant hills wherever the timber was heavy. Charcoal was a reg ular source of income and people saw dozens of coal wagons on the roads. Dirty-faced fellows tend ed the pits and painted the towns red when the fires burned out and they drew their pay. You could tell charcoaler by his smell and by the way be spent his jack. Sometimes he spent a week in town before he went broke, then he would buy mess of gro- ceries, side or two of bacon, . box of shells, and he'd be gone.
