ARGUMENTS STUD
 ALBERT HEARING
Atty. Cassidy Believes Complaint Practically
 Accuses Defendant

A motion for more specific statement in the action of Stein mans Inc, against Sidney Albert today was taken under advisement by Superior Court Judge Alfred c. Baldwin after lengthy arguments in which Attorney John H. Cassidy, for the defendant, charged that the present complaint practically ac- cuses Albert of stealing $13,764. 50 from the company, but is vague on how and when he did it.
 Attorney Alfred L. Finkelstein, for the Steinman Company, said on the other hand, that his present con- plaint is specific enough, and he did not see why he should have to give out the last detail of his evil dence.
 MT. Cassidy said that the com- plaint accuses Albert, a former off, cial of the company, of withdraw ing the money illegally and im- properly by means of checks and thereby weakening the assets of the company. Since this occurred in 1886, Attorney Cassidy said, he wished to know why the complaint was not brought against Albert un- til 1940. He also said he wished to knodw how much the assets of the company were weakened, if it was able to remain in business for the nextl four years. In regard to the cheeks, Cassidy said that the dates in which they were drawn should be included in the complaint.

week. First, close some of the pres ent houses, second operate with a reduced personnel, or third, in- crease our force. The most effi- cient and least dangerous way is an increased force. If there is any one of our city officials or citi- zens including those temporarily in our midst from out of town who have any real constructive ideas on this problem let them express them.
 It is my opinion that in the very near future the State of Connecti- cut will pass legislation granting 8 six-day week to firemen and po- hcemen. Are we real smart in waiting for the state to compel us to do something that everyone from our mayor down, except our budget director, knows is an un- fair condition? The only reason we aren't correcting it is because it might slightly effect our tax rate. If we must worry about our tax rate let's be consistent, exam inc every item in our city's budget for the coming year.

Declares Plan Most
 Efficient Solution
 Of Present Problem
Records Prediction That State Legislature Will Some Day LegaIize Six-Day Working Week for Fire
 men, Policemen; Explains Doubling Up Plan

An increased fire-fighting force is the most efficient and least danger ous way td solve the problem of reducing the present 84-work week for members of the Waterbury Fire Department declared Alderman Burton H. Walker in a public letter today.
 The alderman opposes two other ways" out of the dilemma, the closing of two or more fire stations and operating with reduced person. nel. He declares that everyone, ex- cept our budget director (Thorvald Olson) knows that the present setup in the fire department is unfair.
 Only last Wednesday afternoon the board of fire commissioners au- thorized a survey of fire-fighting personnel and equipment with view of learning from an unbiased source whether or not the local fire department is over-staffed. The finance board has already used the official axe on the recommenda- tion of funds for 12 additional fire men, so the only way the firemen have of obtaining more time is to agree with certain officials that fewer fire stations are needed here or else attempt a doubling up" plan and speaking of "doubling-up" Alderman Walker takes his pen in, hand and writes his letter closing with the prediction that the State of Connecticut will some day legal ize a six-day working week for all firemen and policemen along lines as proposed by State Senator George T. Culhane in the last session of the General Assembly. The letter follows:
 To the Editor:
 In Thursday mornings local paper appeared news article re- porting the fire board meeting. While it probably never intended to be anything but the facts, as discussed at the meeting, there are portions that are untrue and very unfair to the fire department.
 The article states that the fire men double up in the summer in order to get vacation time and should do the same for days of.
 Doubling up does not mean that one man would do his work and another mans work on the same shift. It means he would complete his day shift then work the night shift for one who is of, then his own shift the next day, making a stretch of 36 hours consecutively, cooking all his meals in the fire house. Their work week still re- maining 84 hours.
 The ffremen do not double up in the summer time. When fireman is on vacation his company is short a man, no one fills in, which as I stated in a previous article is a very dangerous practice during present world conditions.
 There are just three ways of cut ting down the present 84 hours per

Triplett Softball Team Scores
4-3 Victory. Over Pandora Outfit

In the renewal of softball rivalry
with one of their traditional foes, an
aggressive Triplett team fighting for
every break defeated Pandora, A to 3,
under the fioodlights at Harmon field,
last Thursday night.
Bluffton took full advantage of
shaky Pandora ball handling in the
first inning to score three runs on
scratch hit, base on balls and
three errors, and another run was
added in the sixth inning to pro-
vide the winning margin.
Except for the frst-inning debacle,
Pandora played air-tight ball, and II
the players in the lineup were "im-
ported" as reported, someone had
done a good job in selecting them.
Spaeth started on the mound for
Bluffton, and breezed along in good
style until the fifth inning when the
heat began catching up with him.
After two men had been retired in
that stanza, home run, a triple
and an error gave Pandora two runs.
The visitors added another tally in
the sixth, but Triplett batsmen coun-
tered with run in their half of the
same stanza to again take the lead.
Bluffton was outhit by the visitors,
six to five, but headsup ball enabled
the locals to "cash in" on nearly
every scoring opportunity presented.

they are more commonly known.
These travel in schools and stay
within yard of the edge of the
banks.
Water in which the larvae are
found is sprayed with special pre-
paration that gives double assurance
of killing the wrigglers. Poison in
the spray paralyzes the larvae, and
toxic film which form over the water
shuts off oxygen from them. In
most cases they die within half an
hour.
MORE IN HoT WEATHER
During the recent hot weather it
has been necessary to spray infested
spots approximately three times
week, but earlier two weekly spray
ings generally were sufficient.
The spray preparation comes an
concentrated form, which is diluted
with water. 1t is applied with a
five-gallon pressure spray. Fish are
not harmed at all by the preparation.
Approximately 1000 gallons of the
larvicide have been used in the con-
troll program so far this summer, but
the cost has been negligible in view
of the fact that the diluted spray
can be prepared for less than three
cents per gallon.
Surveys have shown that the
breeding places which must be
watched the closest is in the stretch
of the Little Riley which runs thru
the Bluffton college campus, and
from the edge of the campus to
Riley creek.
FISH HSLp
Fewer mosquito larvae have been
found in the Big Riley, possibly be-
cause there are more fish in that
stream. Fish feed on the wrigglers,
thereby simplifying the control pro-
gram, Oyer said.
In addition to spraying the
streams, all catch basins in the town
are oiled once a week by Oyer. The
town dump and the old quarry
which adjoins it also are sprayed
regularly.
Much of the success of the control
program is attributed to the town
wide cleanup of rubbish, tin cans,
etc., which inaugurated the drive
last spring.
1t was stressed again this week
! that residents should not relax in
the cleanup of their properties; for
constant vigilance is necessary to
i assure adequate elimination of the
mosquitoes. Spraying of cisterns was
especially recommended, for it is
thought that most of the mosquitoes
which are found breed in such places
In hauling his equipment and max
ing surveys, Oyer uses an automobile
donated for that purpose by the
Bixel Motor Sales.
