.ELKS' BAKE DRAWS
 HUGE ATTENDANCE
Most Popular Event in Years Staged Yesterday
 at Lake Quassapaug

The Waterbury Lodge of Elks held the biggest clambake in the history of local Elkdom at Lake Quassapaug yesterday. Over 200 members of the local lodge attend ed, the crowd being much bigger than was anticipated. Outside of a shortage in Holsters the bake com- mittee handled the big crowd ad- mirably and everybody was satis- fled and declared the affair 8 huge success.
 The Holsters that were short are the ones the bake attenders always wrap up to bring home to the little wife, as her part of the bake. Sta- tistics show that 99 per cent of those Holsters never reach home anyway either being stolen from automobiles where they are careful ly placed for carriage home of being deyoured on stops made on way home. So the lobster shortage real- ly didn't amount to so much.
 The bake got of to e good start shortly after 10 e. m. when clam- broth and steak sandwiches were served and teh wheels of fun turn cd merrily from them on as an ad- vance shipment Of brown October ale was passed around. The bake itself was served late in the after- noon.
 Many Of the lodge's oldest mem. bers were on hand and enjoyed swapping stories Of old days at the club with the clubs younger nieini- beFs.

From the outside, the most re- markable thing about number 251 1-2 Main street is the absence of signs proclaiming its impor- tance. A lawyers shingle is the only sign over the doorway. But any one of the towns 5000 neigh bors can direct you to the head quarters half dozen rooms on the top floor of a two-story frame building owned by Mrs. Cora Wilk, Willkie's mother-n-law.
 They all know it, for one reason, because nearly every one in town Cor so it seenls) donated something for MT. WillkieS stay here before the start of his tour of the west.
 Everything in the headquarters furniture, typewriters, e V e lights and fans - was donated, by individuals, by stores, by local Republican groups from nelghbor- ing towns. The result is an in- l terior decorators nightmare.

 POLITICAL AMATEURS"
 ARE EVERYWHERE
 But it's all for a cause that's very popular here. AS handsome por- traits of the candidate loudly pro- claim from every other window, Nashville is proud of it's son-in-law.
 Nor does it follow that there have not been many handsome donations to the Willkie cause. Take the house in which the Willkies are living. It was lent by an old friend, Mrs. Charles Mauzy. It's just around the corner from Mrs. Wilk's and close to the house where Edith Wilk became Edith Willkie.
 A three-story red brick house built during the Civil War, it centers small plot on a maple shaded street, now closed to traf- fic. Behind the house is a pleasant lawn, surrounded by naples and poplars. Here, weather permit ting, Willkie joins shirt-sleeved newsmen on the grass for his press conferences.
 The donations have not been physical alone. Many people, even among the candidates persona. party, loaned their services free of charge.
 The label political amateur" f nowhere more applicable than tt the personal party campaigning with the Republican candidate.
 With the single exception of hi! press liaison staff (whoSe twt principle members cut their DO. itical milk teeth in Thomas E Dewey,s New York gubernatoria campaign in 1938), no member o1 Willkie'S immediate party ha! previously engaged in politics.
