Aldermen Refuse To Pass
Ordinance Fixing OF
Gasoline Price

Reports of plans for further cut
ting of gasoline prices were heard
today following the action of the
board of aldermen last night in re-
jecting proposed ordinance which
would have fixed minimum prices
per gallon binding all dealers. The
boards vote came after an opinion
had been received from Corporation
Counsel j. Gregory to the effect
that the ordinance was unconstitu-
tional.
The ordinance was offered by in

Francis Xavier's Church, will meet
this evening at 800 o'clock in front
of the Bergin Funeral Home on
East Main street and will march in
a body to review the remains and
say the customary prayers for their
late member, John Kennedy.
Delegates Disappointed
The Washington Park Community
Club attended the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last evening to
hear the committee report on the
rubbish removap'-and were all a
little disappointed to think the
board didn't give the matter a
little more attention, in view of the
great amount of work Mr.. Dzick
did in getting the data together, and
the great interest shown by tax
payers from all over the city. How
ever, let's not get discouraged-the
system of Rubbish removal as
advocated is the modern way to
take care of this matter and as
Waterbury has something on
everybody" here's hoping we keep
in step-and the sooner the better.

COP To Stage Town,
Probate Conventions
Attorney Wrenn To Be Named For Judge of Probate;
Mrs. Amelung POssennatO For State Representative

Angelo Possemato, well known
Italian veterans leader, and Mrs.
Viola Amelung, C: the Women's
Republican Club, are favored for
nomination as state representatives
at the Republican town convention,
to be held Thursday night at party
headquarters on Center street. The
G. o. P. probate district convention,
to be held the same night, is ex-
pected to nominate Attorney Maui
rice Wrenn.
Both Mr.. Possemato and Mrs.
Amelung have strong support for
the nomination. If chosen, they
will oppose Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney
and Attorney John Membrino, who
have been nominated by the Demo-
Gratis for places in the lower house.
Names of other possible candi-
dates for representative have been
mentioned, but it appeared today
that Mr.. PoSsemato and Mrs. Anne
lung are in the lead. Two of those
mentioned, Floyd Rasmussen and
John w. McGurk, are understood
to have no desire to run. Another
possibility is Louis Ciraldi, who re-
tired from the race for the 18th
district senatorial nomination in
favor Of Anthony Petrillo. The lat
ter was defeated for the nomina-
ton by Harold B. Post.
Mr.. Possemato is former COM
mander of Wheeler Young Post
Veterans of Foreign Wars, and
Florio Post, Italian World
War Veterans, and also past state
commander of the Italian-American
veterans. He served overseas with
the 304th Infantry and the 41st
division.
Mrs. Amelung has been active in
women's Republican circles. The
women's group has been urging that
a woman be placed on the ticket
locally this fall.

the local draft board could put him

from that community.
This was told many inquiring peo-
Pile.
REPORTERS TEST
ENLISTMENT RULING
Then down came this late decision
from the War Department:
"Men Of the draft age do not
have to wait until they register
ON October 16 next. They can 60
right to an army recruiting station
and enlist for one years training"
This bureau began to put out that
news. And the first thing we knew,
we got an indignant letter from a
man in New York City who wanted
to know How Gomez"
He said he went to recruiting
office in New York City and was
told they vert only taking men for
the full three years regular army
enlistment. Next day the Washing
ton Daily News sent out two re-
porters, who made a bluff at en-
AAob44A6 Ava U4AO WAC yVoA . VI
In both cases In Washington itself,
they were turn ed down. Or, at least,
the sergeants told them to come
back later.
When I made inquiry at the War
Department, the reply was:
THE order as to this only went
forth on Saturday, September %. 1t
takes some time for such an order
to percolate down to the men in
the recruiting offices"
COMMISSION TRAINING
WILL BE Ga nrN
Here's another example:
Many men wrote in seeking if there
was any chance for draftees to try
for commissions. The bureau was
advised to say that under present
conditions, 1t was hardly likely. Sc
that answer was sent out.

The only provision in next years
budget in conjunction with the pro-
posed system will be an item of 500,
which the committee recommended
by set up for the securing of expert
advice" by the survey commission.
Alderman Burton r. Walker, charg-
ing that the amount was laughable,
was the only member of the board
to vote against the committees
recommendations.
Dumping Place Needed
Many community club representa-
lives were at the meeting, but the
only objection came from Miss Mae
Gaffney, of the Hopeville Commune
ity Club. "If there is to be no sys-
tenn of rubbish removal next year"
she asked, cant the board see to it
that at least more than one Dump
ing place is provided. AS it is now,
no matter where we live the only
place we can dispose of rubbish is
at teh Fairfield avenue dump, the
only one in the CITY,"
Alderman C. Arthur Dubois
agreed With her contention, and on
his motion, it was voted to ask
Health Officer DR.. Edward j. God
frey and the board of health to
designate another dumping ground.
The special committee which had
been studying the proposed ordi-
nance reported to the board that
the plan was desirable and neces-
sary" but that conditions peculiar
to Waterbury" required a more COM
prehensive survey. The committee,
consisting Of Aldermen Patrick Shea
Henry Minicucci and c. Arthur Du-
Bots, suggested that the mayor APP
point a commission consisting of
representatives of the boards of al
dermen and works, the city engineer
the health department and the city
plan commission.

George A. Marshall, army chief of
staff, told reporters that after
draftees had had about nine months
training, the army would pick the
cream of the men and give them
an opportunity to study for COM
missions in the army reserve.
Just what other changes in con-
ditions the army will make between
now and October is, the army alone
knows. The best this bureau can
do is to answer questions as nearly
up-to-date in fact as the changing
rules allow.

 ' I5 NEW TOWN NEAR KODIAK

The town of Kodiak" is now three municipal centers rather than one the camp is still booming, hous- ing is still lacking, and there are apparently enough workmen waiting jobs to take care of immediate hir- ing demands.
 That was the news brought to town this morning by Frank Hem messy, Senior Interviewer of the Territorial Employment Service who has spent the last month at Kodiak relieving the employment office su- perintendent there
 Buskinvlle is the newest town on Kodiak Island, Hennessy declared He said civilian employees and their families have built the new town between Women's Bay and Kodiak itself. The town" on the banks of the Buskin River, has, a popula- tion now of about 400,7 Hennessy said, has several streets and is blossoming into real community
 Navy men and their wives have their own community at Women's Bay, while Kodiak itself, with a population of around 1900 is thriv- ing and growing.
 Workmen bound for Kodiak to seek jobs should remember to be straight ened out on their. birth certificates and proof of citizenship before leaving, Hennessy warned

SOUTH TEXAS HIT BY FLOOD
 IN GOLD WAVE
Hundreds of Families Flee to Sdfefy-Red Cross
 Aiding Refugees

DALLAS, Te-,, l{ov. 2j-New flood threats sent hundreds of South Texas families hurrying in safety from the rain-gutted streams which have left their banks.
 While meager short wave radio from Amarillo reported the city is still held fast in a sheath of ice, the river is coming up as the upstream surged down the Guadalupe and waters late this afternoon were surging over the low lying residential section.
 Many homes in Victoria Cuero are inundated. The homes are most ly those of humble working men and the Red Cross is feeding the men and their families
 There are no direct reports of loss of life which seems amazing as many streams suddenly went over their banks during the night.
 The rain dumped as much as Is inches on some sections during the past 48 hours and then freezing weather came, making a thick coat of ice.
 Communications are down in all directions and highway traffic is practically at standstill.
