A concert of rare merit was pre-
Sented at Buckingham hall last
night by the Industrial Male chorus
of Waterbury, marking a signifi-
cant musical and civic event since
this is the first organization of the
kind in the country and the fact
that last night marked their first
presentation as an organized musi-
cal group. G.. Loring BurWell, known
for many years in Waterbury and
throughout the east as fine choral
conductor, directed the singers, and
Stanley Freedman local young pi-
anist, was guest soloist. Before the
concert started Mayor Vincent A..
Scully gave an address of welcome.
The concert was sponsored by the
Industrial Foremen'S clubs. Fifteen
Industrial clubs of the city were
represented in the chorus of seventy
voices. Waldo NeWbury, noted Or
ganist, presided at the organ, and
Kenneth Thompson was pianist.
With his customary musical feel
ing and integrity of Interpretation.
Mr.. BurWell conducted the chorus
in a program of pleasing songs. The
voices showed the result of under
standing of the musical text and
capable direction. Among their Of
ferings last night was the opening
Prayer of Thanksgiving" arranged
by Kremser (Old Dutch Prayer,
and there was Palmgren's Gin
nish Lullaby" in contrast, the al
ways popular "Route Marchin'" ar
ranged by Stock, and one that Mr..
Burwell's men always excel in
"Ho! Jolly Jenkins" arranged by
Mark Andrews. Most people like to
listen to, and most choruses like to
sing Katelby's "In the Monastery
Garden" so that also had a hear
ing last night as did Sir Arthur
Sullivan's 1.-The First Chord, "The
jolly Roger, "Pale Moon," and last
ly Schubert's "The Omnipotence" in
which the Industrial Girls chorus
joined with the men. 1t was pro-
gram that pleased all attending and
of sufficient variety.
Stanley Freedman, who has iden-
titled himself in the last few years
as a pianist worth hearing played

HOME BUILDING

Loan Association Re-
ports Record In Loans

The First Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Waterbury last
month made the largest amount OF
loans in any March since its Or
ganization, bearing out the pre-
diction that this spring will show
a marked increase in home buying
and home building, H. w. Smith,
secretary of the associa ton, said
today. Loans during March were
10 per cent larger than a year ago.
"In part" Mr.. Smith said, "the
growth in business of the associa-
ton may be due to the more at
tractive lending made available by
the Federal system, but the gain
also reflects greater demand for
homes in Waterbury.
Another encouraging sign is the
increase in thrift savings. New
savings received by the First Fed
eral Savings and Loan Association
last month were per cent larger
than a year ago. 1t is through such
savings that families accumulate
the money which enables them to

Boulder stretched himself out on
the makeshift bed of four chairs,
Boulder said he finally left the
house when his wife told him she
didn't want him any more and
preferred the star boarder, with
whom she went to the moving pic
lures frequently.
After listening to this tale and
hearing corroboraive testimony from
welfare department workers, Judge
John L. Gaffney said the case was
not an economic one but a social
problem.
The jugde advised Mrs. Boulder
to get rid of the boarder, but the
woman remained adamant.
Lawyers Clash
An interesting Sidelight was pro-
vided by Attorney A. Henry Weis-
man who addressed the court, say
ing that he once represented a
client to whom Mrs. Boulder owed
money for a stove. The attorney
said the star-boarder was now
working and keeping the family off
the Welfare department, and i'm
piled the boarder should be allowed
to remain.
Attorney william eager, repre-
senting Mr.. Boulder, rose and said:

represented a ellen to whom Mrs.
Boulder owed money for a stove.

pany, wasn't it,"

and objected to this form of
questioning.
Judge Gaffney, however said this
matter could be discussed elsewhere.

Maryland's trout season ends June
30, and in anticipation of the final
furry of fishing several of the more
popular streams have received their
last stocking of hatchery raised
trout. Fish placed during the past
week were 1000 each in Hunting
Fishing and Beaver Creeks; 200 in
st. James Run, 1900 in Antietam
Run and 600 in Severan Run.
Rock fishing in Chesapeake Bay
and tributary streams has taken a
big upswing recently. At Solomons
they are catching some by chum-
ming with shrimp and even better
catches have been made by deep
trollers in the lower Potomac around
Tall Timbers and Piney Point
Stripers also are reported around
Tilghmans Island and in the Chop
tank River on the Eastern Shore
and near the mouth of the Susque-
hanna in the upper bay.
In going for stripers, though, re-
member that they aren't everywhere
in the bay and that even in those
places where they have been caught
already it still is possible to miss.
So 60 down with rock in mind, but
be prepared to accept hardhead If
nothing better offers.
Ocean Fishing Is Better.
In the Atlantic Ocean, channel

been made by a Baltimore party

NEW YORK, June 18.-Connie
Mack pays $45,000 to Benny Nc

The Dodgers pay the Cards an esti-
mated $15O,000 in a deal largely
favored by Joe Medwick. The
Yankees draw a gate of upward of
$l00,0 for one game.
All of which shows that baseball
isn't exactly shoestring business

watching what could be one Of their

Suggests Majors Pay Coaches.
A statement by Pep Young, Tenn
pie coach and former Detroit Sec
ond baseman, brought to the fore
the plight of the college game.
Young says that nearly every boy
who goes out for college baseball
does so with the anticipation he
will get chance in the majors,
and he places the responsibility for
the perpetuation of the college sport
in the lap of the major leagues.
His suggestion is that organized
baseball pay the coaching salaries,
and the coaches in turn would de-
vote special attention to developing
good prospects. The boys would re-
main through graduation under
those circumstances, he says, where
as now scout bangles a couple of
hundred dollars in front of a boy
in his second or third year and he
jumps at it, leaving school and
winding up in class c or D league.
Young's idea is in the same vein
as a proposal by Curt Bishop. sports

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 1S.
The Southern amateur tourna-
ment drew the finest OF Dixie's
golfers to the soaked country
club course today in the hope of
toppling mite-sized Bobby Dunkel-
berger, jr., from his throne.
Most of the 100 entrants found
little consolation, however, in the
par-70 posted by the 20-year-old
champion from High Point, N. c.,
in his first practice round.
'It's going to be awfully hard to
knock that boy from the throne"
said the veteran Polly Boyd of Chat
tanooga, who has watched them
come and go for nearly a score OF
years.
Game Suited for Course.
"His game is we'll suited for this
course" Boyd explained with refer
ence to the high premium given
those who follow the straight and
narrow. TOO he is a fine putter
and steel-nerved performer"
The champion ignored his chance
at medalist honors by remaining out
side the 36-hole qualifying play
which extends through tomorrow.
Instead he viii take the No. / posi-
ton accorded the defending title
holder.
Should the champion repeat, it
will be the first successful defense
OF crown since Nelson Whitney Of
New Orleans came through in 1914.
Most experts agreed ISL would be
required to qualify. Boyd climbed
out on the limb with a declaration
142 would take the medal.

After a one-day respite caused by
