DESCRIBE TWO
COURSES
Industrial Arts Offer Wide
Field in Education Courses
For Adults at School
RECREATION COURSE

In the proposed adult education
program to be sponsored by the
Board of Education of the Smyrna
School District the industrial arts
offering, taught by Mr.. Frank
Hynson, probably will be attractive
to many patrons. In this course
the members of the course may
select any field that they choose.
Some may be interested in repair
ing furniture, or Gaming chairs;
others may wish to work in metal.
1t is quite possible that those who
are interested in automobile me-
chanics may have the chance to
study the automobile engine at
first hand. This program will be
made to suit the desires and the
needs of the people of the COM
munity. They will determine e2-
actly what they wish to do. 1t is
the hope of the sponsors that a
sufficient number of people will en-
roll in this course to make it
worthwhile. If you have any par
ticular problem that could be an
swered in the shop, bring it along
and every attempt viii be made to
solve it.
OF the Recreational Program for
Business Men, Supt. George Miller,
in explaining the course, stat
ed, 1T is said that the people of
America are becoming lazy in re
spect to the engaging in recrea-
tional activities. The automobile
has made it possible for many of
US to go about our daily chores
without doing much walking Late
ly, as a step in the preparedness
program, it was suggested that
every one should get into the habit
of walking three miles every morn
ing. But all of US get into rut
physically. We allow ourselves to
go along forgetting that partici-
pating in recreational activities is
absolutely essential to good health.
The school will offer such an op-
portunity to the tired business man
of Smyrna and. surrounding towns
after the Christmas holidays.
There are many activities in which
the older men and women can en-
gage, such as volley ball, badmin-
ton, paddle tennis. Every effort
will be made to set up an attrac-
tive program of such activities"

Johnson. Rural telephone, rural
electrifcation, rural free delivery,
AAA farm program, and the open
market were all started by the
Grange. Visiting other Oranges

the farmers. The discussion was
followed by a talk by Mr.. Elmer

News reports OF last week relat-
ing the death by drowning in
Northern Maine of Paul M. Mack
lin, "a, vice-president and general
manager of the Wickwire Spencer
Steel Corp, led many Waterburians
to believe that Mr.. Macklin was a
former resident of this city and
taught in Crosby High school for
several years, it was learned by
The Democrat today.
Inquiries brought out the fact that
the Mr.. Mackhn, who taught alge-
bra and geometry at Crosby in
l908-09-l0 was also Paul M. Mack
lin. During his residence in this
city he lived at 81 Holmes avenue.
A number of the older members of
the teaching faculties of the local
high schools recalled the name and
the man, but none was able to re-
call where he went when he left
Waterbury or whether he had gone
into industry.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

The American League presents no
such easy problem as the National,
where it was possible to definitely
place each team in the spot it will
occupy at the close of the season
The American gave me lot of
trouble and I must have spent
close to $40 in collect calls to Mana
gers, utility infielders, groundkeep-
ers, and professional eavesdroppers,
seeking information. But here is
how finally figured it out:
Yankees first and Red SoX second,
or vice versa. Cleveland third and
Detroit fourth, or vice versa. Chic
ago will be fifth, Philadelphia sixth,
Washington seventh and you guess
who eighth.
Too Bad
In way it's a shame for me to
give you this information. 1t Is
bound to remove some of the thrill
as you go to the summer ball games.
What can it possibly matter who
wins or loses on particular day,
because you and I know what the
u1OA1AldLC OuGSOAlS W44A w. 6Ao ek AAAShS
ter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised
if Judge Lands didn't ask me. 10
stop making my selections on the
grounds that the players, after see
ing my forecast, won't try as hard
because they'll have fatalistic feel
ing that what I prophesy must nee
essarily be true.
Take last years forecast for ex-
ample. Who did pick? The Yankees
Many called me a fool and a dare
devil when I did it, and LII admit
that at one stage of the race when
their lead was cut to 10 games,
had a qualm or two. The fact that
slipped up and picked Chicago in
the National last year was perhaps
the exception to prove the rule.
Now that you know just what is
going to happen in both leagues
during the summer aren't you glad
I picked them and you read it? Or
vice versa?

GLASSES BUOY
BUD PARMELEE
FOR COMEBACK
Ex=Giant Will Start With
Louisville, Red SOx
Farm
BY PAUL sCHEFFELS

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 11-(UP)-More
than one major league baseball
player has slipped into minor league
oblivion because of poor eyesight
but today Leroy (Bud) Parmelee,
mer New York Giant pitcher, is try
ing to reverse that procedure.
Only one fault-wiloness - has
kept Parmelee from becoming one
of the National Leagues greatest
pitchers. He's had trials with three
clubs in tn senior loop and had
his last opportunity with the Phil
adelphia Athletics, but he never
found the answer to his chief
But, now, Parmelee, who's still
young enough to make good-he'll
be 80 soon-will try for come
back with the Louisville Colonies
of the American Association, wear
ing glasses.
DOgged by In-Luck
Typical of the i'll luck that
logged his footsteps when he was
with the New York Giants, st.
Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and
finally with the Athletics, was his
first pitch after donning spectacles.
Pitching in a spring training
game at t he Colonies base in
Arcadia, Fla, he hit the first bat
ter to face him on the side of the
head with a fast ball. The batter
was taken to a hospital but was
not seriously injured.
Since then Parmelee has con-
sistently improved and observers
believe he might regain a major
league berth. He pitched three inn
ings against NWark of the Inter-
tional League in his first assign
ment and was always ahead of the
batter-a strang feeling for him.
He didn't walk man, famed two
and allowed two hits.
May Go to Red SOx
If his glasses continue to eXer-
else their magic, Parmelee may get
another crack at the big time in
the uniform of the Boston Red
Sex, who own part of the Louis
vile club. Manager Joe Cronin
would welcome the addition of the
big right handler whost fast ball
hasn't lost any of its zing.
All the managers who had Par
melee under their wing realized
the enormous talents he possessed
but were unable to solve the secret
of his apparently incurable wild
ness. Even cunning old Connie
Mack, dean of major league man
ayers, failed to effect a cure, al
though Parmelee was with him fol
a shorter time than any of the
other pilots.
Hes got just as much stuff as
ever and if something can be done
about that wildness, he might
make the grade" said Mack.

Third Game DOubtful-Bill
KOIOsky, BOley Split 80
Points In Thriller

Though they were never very far
apart at any time, before the final
few minutes of the game, West Side
Speedboys had what it needed in
the clutch and won fine basket
ball victory over the favored Knights
of Lithuania last night at the CEN
trail YMCA. The final score was
A to 80, with every one of the seven
winners scoring from 2 to IS points
apiece while Is of the Liths points
came from successful free throws.
A vary large crowd of nearly 1000
fans jammed the "Y" gym and run
ming track and saw a game that
tickled them turquoise from start to
finish. 1t was 14-1O at the end OF
the first ten minutes of play West
Sides leading; the same margin and
same leaders obtained at half time,
26 to %. The SpeedboyS led by five
points 1929 when the third period
was over and in the last quarter

officials of the two clubs Weer
talking of getting together today for
a conference on third game plans
with the Liths management reported
against the idea, due to the fact that
two of its players, Joe SWaSey and
Joe Boley will be married within
the next two weeks. West Sides
meet tonight at 7 p. m. at Chase
Park house.
Wilby's Bill Kalosky, with Is
points was the Difference between
win and a loss for the West Sides
while the play between John Stol-
lar and Dick Tuckey was all it fig
ured to be, Tuckey scoring =
points. Stellar five, each man get
ting two field goals. Boley matched
Bill Kalosky's Is points while Joyce
and Ferrie, consistently high scorers
got but IS points between them, the
West Siders outscoring their OPP
ponents 10 to 16 from the floor.
One of the K. of L. players was
honest enough to sum up the game
this way: "They beat us tonight
and they beat us good. I'd like to
plav 'em again, but don't think
there will be another game"
Besides scoring six points apiece
Joe Kalosky and Joe Runlvldgs
played bang-up defensive game
and were vital cogs in the Wes'
Side win. Summary
