LIFE In MILFORD
Plunges 1sO Feet Following HaIIOw.
cen Events In Milford

A high diver in "thrill act" died
early last Friday morning Of injur-
les received when he hurtled 12C
feet from the top Of q ladder during
the dismantling Of the acts equip
ment last Thursday night. after a
Halloween celebration in Plaza
Square.
Thrown from the ladder, Walter
c. Caldrell, S5. Of Raleigh, N. c.,
landed on another member Of the
crew, breaking his fall, but his in
juries proved fatal in the Milford
Memorial Hospital early Friday.
The show staged as part Of Mil
ford's Halloween celebration was
over. and the crowds before which
CaldrelI performed were gone. On
top Of the ladder from which he
had made his dive into a tank on
the ground hundreds Of times, Cald-
rell was dismantIing his equipment.
A car, driven by Lee Phillips
Baker. 20, OF Delmar. is alleged to
have. struck a supporting wire as 1t
drove by the stand, and Caldrell
plunged to the ground. His fall was
broken when he struck another
member Of the crew, George Craig,
Union City, N. J.. who was helping
him.
Craig was taken to the Milford
hospital suffering injuries to the
head and neck. and possible internal
injuries. CaldrelI's body was taken
to the undertaking parlors Of Joseph
Lofiand. and later shipped to his
home in North Carolina.
Baker, driver OF the car, was ar
raigned before Magistrate David A.
Clements and released under $4,000
bail. An inquest conducted last Fri
day evening by Coroner Lewis Lath-
bury, returned an open verdict.
Capt. Billy Richie. owner and
Of the show. said Baker

Hospital Bulletins

The condition of Herbert Avery of 22 ScovilI street was reported to be good" by St, Mary's hospital where he was taken after he suf- fered a laceratiOn of the scalp early this morning as result of an accident when he was struck by Frank Vierra of Cherry Hill road, Naugatuck.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-15

In observance of the one hum dredth anniversary of the birth of the Russian composer Tschaikowsky Mario Di Cecco presented an all Tschaikowsky program last night at Buckingham hall. Once again the Civic Orchestra of Waterbury astounded an audience that has followed it's structural and artistic growth. Last night appreciation, interest and amazement in the work of the orchestra with MT. Dl- Ceccos admirable conducting were matched in astonishment at the prodigious performance of the youthful violinist, David Nadien, Of New York City, who played the Violin Concerto in D Major with the persuasion and finish of a seasoned artist. At twelve years Of age the boy might be twice or three times that age so compelling was his delivery of the many technicall- ties, the difficulties in violin execu- ton that the Concerto demands. One lost track of the number Of times he was recalled to the stage to accept the continued applause of the audience and orchestra en- semble who rose in body to show their appreciation of an amazing VirtuoSo.
 Fine Achievement
 MT. DiCecco set himself and his orchestral group a terrific task last night in the Tschaikowsky program, That the orchestra has grown in structure and in the quality of tone is more and more apparent each season. The orchestra has done fine things before but never have they risen to greater heights than in the Symphony No in F Minor, that vast work of light and shade, so colossal in stature and inspiring in it's mighty tonal substance.
 "The Enchanted Lake" was play ed first by the orchestra. This col orful poem or story in three parts comprises Scene" Dance of the Swans" and Hungarian Dance" In this Tschaikowsky's grace Of style in presenting tonal picture is eXemplified, and here is noted his appeal to the emotions. "The Enchanted Lake" was perfect foil for the Symphony more devastating and militant in character but also characterized by dramatic emotion.
 David Nadien had the middle portion of the program and in his playing of the Concerto he gave each of the three movements with courage, sureness of attack and, as We said above, an astounding tech nique.
 Pr0digious Work
 The Concerto encompasses all the intricacies, commentators, difficult passages and violinistic feats imaginable and a few more. In
