of the pleasant duties of my of flee is to welcome to our city, distinguished visitors who are present in our community. When I note that these visitors are per- sonal friends of mine, as is the cace tonight, it becomes a pleasure to extend this welcome.
 So it is, that Mrs. Scully and I take great pride and pleasure in extending extremely cordial greet ings to our Governor-elect Robert A. Hurley, Mrs. Hurley, all newly elected state officials and other distinguished guests here present.
 In January Robert A. Hurley will assume the high office of Gov ernor of the State of Connecticut, AS such he will possess the su- preme executive power of the State of Connecticut which is vested in him by the constitution. Governor Hurley will be the sev- enty-third in long line of Cover nors of this sate, commencing with Governor John Haynes, who was inaugurated in 1899. The history of the growth and develop ment of Connecticut down through these 301 years is milestoned by the names of each of the seventy two outstanding citizens of Con- necticut who have been chosen to fill the exalted position of Chief Executive of the State of Con- necticut. Now, in probably the most trying days of our state his- tory, the people have elected Rob- ert A. Hurley to carry on the best traditions of government. It pre- sents an unusual opportunity for government of high order and one which I am certain the gov- ernor- elect and his associates will embrace in true spirit of public service.
 In brief, may again extend to you my sincere congratulations and say that we in Waterbury pray that the Lord give you and Mrs. Hurley and your associates continued good health, strength and courage to preserve our demo- cratic traditions. May I also assure you of my continuing cooperation promoting the forward ooking and progressive legislative pro- gram which l know you will in- augurate.

 Christmas Holidays

Of particular interest to piano students and music lovers in gen. eral is the Pops" concert, sched- uled for 7:30 this evening in the music room of the Bronson Library.

 Another outstanding work for the piano and orchestra will be Vincent dundy's symphony for Orchestra and Piano on a French Mountain Air played by Marguerite Long and the Colonne Symphony Orchestra of Paris, conducted by Paul Paray.

ner. among the speakers being members of the Democratic state ticket, assembled all in Waterbury for the first time, party leaders and prominent personages not active in politics.
 Ordinarily detest testimonial dinners" said MT. Hurley. Tin glad to attend those given for my i successful colleagues, though don't like to attend those given for me Yet I'm very happy to be present here tonight to attend this testi- monial dinner. The crowd here proves one thing-it pays to adver- 1 t!Se."
 This state of ours" he said, "is small but highly industrialized commonwealth; we people here iil Connecticut have the same feel ings, fears, aspirations and hopes for security as our fellow Ameri- cans the nation over. Perhaps it's better for us that we don't know al; that is going on abroad"
 More than anything else. Amer ica needs speed-up in production of arfnaments and defense weap- ons." said v.-elect Hurley. Con necticut, small though it is, is the key state in our whole defense pro- gram. It is for Connecticut to show the way in producing the goods that may be necessary to save the na- tion we all love, for Connecticut is the armory of the United States. We must all be prepared to make great sacrifices. perhaps not until years to come or, perhaps, much sooner. We at Hartford will do our best to reflect the feelings and sen- timents of the people of Connecti- cut.

An enthusiastic crowd that filled the main dining room of The Elton and overflowed into adjacent rooms last night hailed Goyernor-elect and Mrs. Robert A. Hurley at the Victory Dinner arranged by Senator George T. Culhane's Progressive Democratic association. The tlrong roaIed it's approval of the governors elects plea for industrial produc- ton on a wartime basis in the in- tere.ts of national defense and his declaration that Connecticut would stand squarely behind President Franklin D. Roosevelt through the four years ahead.
 In a dramatic conclusion to his speech, MT. Hurley, obviously seek ing to end the local Democratic party factional differences tfiat came to a head because of his &C., ceptance of an invitation to the dinner, said: T hope that I'll be able to be on hand for another vic- tory dinner here two years from now, but even before that hope to be back here next year for a vic- tory dinner after you people of Waterbury re-elect Mayor Vincent A. Scully."
 Incidentally Mayor Scully was the lone representative of the city gov ernment in attendance. Not another elective official or even one of the four representatives chosen for the next General Assembly put in an appearance during the night to greet the governor -elect or the sue cessful Democratic candidates in last months elections. No reference of their absence" was made in any of the speeches, but many off the record" remarks were heard during the course of the evening.

Guests at the Victory Dinner met Gov.-Elect Hurley and his wife at an informal reception at The Elton's Colonial Room be- fore the meal was served. Joseph F. Mulville, former town chair man, and Mrs. George Corcoran, presented the local guests to MT. and Mrs. Hurley.
 ''In> this very room, in 1919, I was given a spendid watch on the occasion of my becoming Democratic national chairman" reminisced Homer s. Cummings, former Attorney General of the United States. And that watch has kept perfect time ever since, to make me ever more proud of it," he said.
 MT. Hurley left the dinner table most obligingly several times to have his picture taken with various dignitaries in attendance.

After the dinner, so many persons sought signatures that line to the speakers table had to be formed.
 Prof. Odell Shepard, lieutenant governor -elect, was the center of several animated discussion groups during the course, of the evening. The subjects ranged from the riduculous to tne sublime, but Prof. Shepard, one-time Pulitzer Prize winner, impressed all not only by his erudition but by his friendliness.
 Senator George T. Culhane, chairman of the arrangements committee, was kept busy all night long, settling such things as seat ing problems, order of speakers, reception of guests, and so on.
 The crowd at the dinner over flowed from the main dining room into the Copper Room and sev- eral smaller rooms. The tables in the main room were cleared away to allow all chance to hear the speakers.
