THREE INJURED

C. R. &L. Co. Bus Skids Into Highway Fence on
 ThOmastOn Avenue

Three men were injured, none seri- ously, when o. R. & L. company bus skidded on Thomaston avenue early today and crashed into the highway fence.
 Those injured were Matthew Gua- rini, member of the police depart ment, Willis Ferguson, 68, colered, of 55 Vine street, and the bus driver Nathan Rosenberg, 56, of 60 Eliza beth street.
 Rosenberg was arrested on a charge of reckless driving.
 According to an incomplete police report, the bus skidded on the Wa terbury side of the railroad trestle caromed, and knocked down eight or nine highway fence posts before it stepped. The bus was bound fol Waterbury.
 It could not be learned how many passengers were in the vehicle al the time of the accident. Both loca hospitals reported that no one wa. injured sufficiently to require hos. pitalization. No one was taken tc either hospital.
 The office of Dr Harold Merrill assistant medical examiner, said Dr Morrill, was summoned to the office of the bus company where he treat ( ! Rosenberg, Officer Guarini anc l".-guson. All received general bruising.

|C|TY SHOULD PAY
 FOR MFR CLERK
Miss Cavanaugh's Friends Agitating Move for Sal-
 ary During Suspension

A move to have the city of Wa terbury pay the salary of Miss Mary Cavanaugh for the time that she was under suspension as chief clerk in the tax office was reported underway today. Miss Cavanaugh was acquitted by superior court jury last week on a charge of en- bezzling $2,774.01 from the city.
 Following discovery of an alleged shortage in the tax office accounts, Miss Cavanaugh was suspended by former Tax Collector William A. Ennis. She was still officially on the payroll, though under suspension, but received no salary.
 This move would presumably sup plant an earlier reported effort to have the state Legislature pass a bill providing for payment of Miss Cavanaugh's trial expenses. One source said today that such a plan was not being considered.

course to dentists in the state be- cause of the growing demand for preschool dentistry, which requires a high degree of skill in child man. agement. No fee is to be charged for the series of one day sessions, with morning and afternoon pro- grams, in strategic centers through out the state as follows: April l.

 Increasing emphasis is being placed upon the importance of pre- ventive dentistry in controlling diseases, the bulletin stated. Effec- tive preventive measures need to be carried out in early childhood and continued throughout the growth PCAAOI, cO U1l1V phCNCkAVAVC OSAAolohy is closely linked with children's den- tistry. ..
 The value of regular, early dental care is stressed repeatedly at Well Child conferences and parents of children who attend are demanding treatment for children or preschool ages. Quite often this service has not been available because of lim- ited professional time. Dentists have been devoting their chief attention to the pressing demands for their services from adults.
 Aware of their responsibility den- tists have signified a willingness to cooperate with pediatricians in an effort to control dental diseases. The refresher course in children's dentistry provides an opportunity for all dentists in Connecticut to secure the latest information on this subject, the bulletin pointed out.

Cave in of Mine Tunnels Has Already Sunk Part
 of City

Shenandoah, Pa., March 5-(UP) This coal city of 21,600 lived in dread today that a cave-in of mine tunnels which had lowered part of city several feet would be followed by a collapse of disastrous propor- tionS.
 On the scene were Gov. Arthur H. James, other state officials and representatives of federal agencies and the American Red Cross.
 A special committee of nine ex- perts descended 1000 feet below the surface to explore the network of tunnels under the northeast sec- tion of the city in an effort to de- termire the exact cause of the sink
 Deputy State Secretary of Mines Joseph Walsh told James that the cave-in which yesterday ripped dwellings from their foundations, cleaved buildings and cracked street pavements probably would continue for six months. Over a long perior property damage would be very high.
 Officials feared the possibility of sudden new collapse might cause loss of life and planned to evacu- ate the area if the investigation justified their fears.
 Burgess Andrew Baraniak esti- mated damage at $l,000,000.
 Through seven terrifying hours, the earth rumbled, homes and buildings teetered. window gl~> broke and water from broken maisn cascaded into the streets. Men, women and children, 4,0O0 in all. rushed from tbeir homes. Twisted doorways forced many to climb out through windows. The caye-in came so suddenly that many were unable to take personal effects with them,
 Some structures sank as much as i've feet and Assures AS wide as a foot were common, Gas escaping through broken mains made a dozen persons iIl and added lO tlle peril,

SCHUBERT'S WORKS FEATURE TONIGHT
Carnival of Animals Also Included in Free Pub=
 lie Program

Schubert's unfinished Sym phony" and the Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Saens will be featured at this evenings Learn ing -to-Listen" music class, to be held at 7:15 at the Bronson library The Carnival of the Animals" is an amusing suite of IA pieces, in which various members of the an imal kingdom go through their paces. The whole set of pieces is done in a spirit of great fun, and opens with roar from the lion, who then comes marching forth quite pompously. There follows the confusion of the barnyard, the race of the wild asses, the deliberate movements of the tortoises, and the numbering theme of the elephant The leaps of the kangaroo are heard on the piano, which is ordinarily not used in the symphony orchestra In contrast to the humor of the suite, Saint-SaenS describes the Aquarium" in beautiful simmer ing tones. The spell of this musical picture is broken, however, by the rasping voice of the donkey. Then comes the quiet of the woods, while from the distance is heard the cal of the cuckoo. In the "Aviary" the flute suggests the lovely songs oi the birds.
 Into this menagerie, Saint-Saens introduces "Pianists," which was probably a joke on some of his friends. Fossils are also included ir the suite, as well as the familiar Swan"
 The public is cordially invited tc attend the Learning to Listen concerts, given without charge un- der the auspices of the Bronson Li' brary and the WPA Adult Educa- ton program of Waterbury.
