PUBLIC HEARING
 ON ELKS' APPEAL
Gasoline Dealers AssOcia- { ion Voice Unexpected
 Opposition

The board of zoning appeals last night fixed March 26 as the date of 8 hearing on a petition by the Wa terbury Lodge of ElkS for an ex- emption from the zoning ordinance to allow the lease of part of its property for gasoline station. h. formal objection to the proposal was voiced before the board last night.
 An exception from the zoning or- dinance is required because the site of the proposed station is within 200 feet of the Second Congregational church.
 George Gaughan, of the Water bury Gasoline Dealers association, opposed the application. He said that gasoline dealers feared that the Sun Oil Co, which would op- crate the station, would cut prices and hurt the trade of other gas stations. Objection was also voiced by Benjamin Henebry and Jacob Karnofsky
 The Elks claim thatt he church will offer no objection to granting the exemption. Members of the board indicated that they favored granting the application, but no &C., tion can be taken until after the public hearing required by law.

CANADIAN PLANTS
 SEEK MECHANICS
MunitiOn Factories Re- ported Interested in Em-
 plOying Mechanics

Waterbury mechanics, as well as mechanics from all parts of the United States are being urged to go to Canada to accept jobs at large wages. It was learned today that word has been spread locally that any mechanic desiring a job can have it in Canada.
 The fact that the Canadian na- ton is engaging in the>manufacture of war material is given as the req son for the hurry call for American mechanics. All Canadian factories are said to be working overtime and mechanics are claimed to be at a premium.
 Local mechanics, however, are not going strongly for the temptation of larger wages in the country of our northern neighbor. While few are said to have responded to the Canadian call fer their services, most of the local skilled men are said to be content with their pres- ent jobs. Most of them have held their local jobs for years and are a little afraid of gambling on the length of time their jobs would last in Canada.
 It is their opinion that job at home is much better tan one far away and t. ey believe that condi- tions in the local manufacturing plants will greatly increase in the event of continued warfare in Europe.

Waterbury merchants today looked forward to a rush of busi- ness in the week before Easter Sunday. Early pre-Easter trade has been brisk, but a strong il1- crease is expected beginning to- day.
 The annual fashion parade a week from tomorrow will find Wa terburians decked out in all their Easter f1nery. The women's styles have been attracting "Ohs" and Ans, and everything from shoes to hats has won admiration.
 Better industrial conditions are indicated by the early Easter trade. Employment after the first of the year showed a decline, but February business figures reveal ed a flattening-out and a gradual gain is now being noted.
 The gain in retail trade has not been limited to stores dealing in mems and women's apparel. Stores of all types report improvement.

Dismissal of Claim Against Wooster School Argued
 in Higher Court

Compensation Com m i iss o ner James M. Lynch of this city, whose rulings in compensation cases have been generally recognized by the Superior Court and by lawyers throughout the state was upheld yesterday in another important rul- ing. The decision was one dismiss sing 8 compensation claim filed against the Wooster school by Charles Phillips, a student, son of MT. and Mrs. Francis Phillips, MT. Phillips is well known local brok- CT, associated with the R. F. Griggs Go. The decision was rendered by Judge Alfred c. Baldwin in the Su- perior Court of Fairfield County.
 The Wooster school is operated under the so called "self-help" plan. Every student renders certain amount of work and the cost of tui- tion varies according to the stu- dents ability to pay.
 Young Phillips was assigned to shovel snow from a hockey rink and in the course cf his duties shov- cling snow he sustained a hernia. Commissioner Lynch ruled that the hernia was not sustained in any contract of employment and Judge Baldwin sustains the local compen- sation commissioner.
 Judge Baldwin says that the stu dents at the school are not there in the dual capacity of a student and an einploye and that whether in a school room or about the schools grounds he still remains student.

Peaches used to attract small boys almost as quickly as a melon patch. Owners of peach orchards loaded their shotguns with rock salt, lit no lanterns, sat in the doorway in the dark and listened for the arrival of raiders. When ever a ripe peach fell, the watch man would finger the shotgun trigger and listen for footballs on the dewy grass. That kept up until the crop was safely har- vested. Orchard owners worked all day and watched all night. Small boys ate so much fruit they Lad colic. and old men whit tied tiny baskets from peach pits. Then the trees were infected with the yellows and we lost another profitable crop.
