MiddIebury Seeking
 Contract With City
Arrangements Likely for Fire Protection Fire
 man Appointed of Thanks Received

The fire board yesterday appointed Edward J. Gagain to the fire depart ment and discussed plan for pro- viding the town of Middlebury with fire protection. The police board, which met before the fire board, instructed Patrolman James Jordan to appear at the next meeting to be promoted, and received several let ters of appreciation for past services.
 Fireman Gagain was appointed to the vacancy created by the death two weeks ago of, Private Jerome Pilkington, of the Burton street sta- tion. The new fireman was counseled to make Fire Chief Thomas F. Cav- anaugh his ideal If you want to be 8 good fireman"
 Contract Proposed
 In regard to protection for Middle bury, the board received a draft of a proposed contract from J. Gregory Lynch, corporation counsel. The draft provides that Waterbury will send apparatus when called on, at 8 price to be fixed later. For its part, Middlebury will take out workmen's compensation insurance to cover the Waterbury flremen. It will also agree to pay the firemen the difference be- tween their salaries and the com pensation, in the event of an acci- dent. The town will also take out insurance covering damage to Wa terbury apparatus.
 The proposed draft made by MT. Lynch was result of several months negotiations with the -Middlebury officials, after it was pointed out here that the city might be liable for firemen injured, or apparatus damaged, while responding to Mid- dlebury calls.
 Copies of the draft were dis tributed to the board members who will vote at the next meeting.
 The fire board also received ap- pIcations to the call force from An- thony J. Jonikas, Edward F. Kenney, Francis Cummings, John P. Burke, and George Dews.
 Jordan Cited
 At the police board meeting Patrolman James Jordan was in- structed to appear next time after the board received his application to be promated from Grade c to Grabe B, having served one year in the lower grade.
 A leave of absence from Novena- Der l to November 27 was granted Patrolman Joseph Dwyer as he has the days coming to him.
 The Visiting Nurse association wrote 8 letter thanking the board for Patrolman William Dwyer's services in teaching one of the nurses how to drive. A letter was also re- ceived from the liquor control com mission thanking the department for its cooperation in enforcing the law. Q
 The board voted to inspect the force as soon as the officers don win ter coats.

DINNER MENU

The choice between a roast con- taining the rib bones and one which is boned and rolled is a matter of individual preference. Experts fail to detect any difference in the flavor, but there is a difference in the length of cooking time. Bones act as conductor of heat, and a roast containing the rib bones will cook to a certain degree of done ness more quickly than the roast from which they have been re- moved. Otherwise the method of cooking is the same for each.
 Rib Roast of Beef
 Season the roast with salt and pepper and place fat side up in an open roasting pan. If ribs are left in, they will form a rack. Other wise, place a rack beneath the roast. Insert roast meat thermometer if you have one so that the bulb reaches the cener of the roast. Place the roast, uncovered and with no water added, in slow (300 de- gree F.) oven. Roast until the meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. for

The radicals tell me that this war is but a last desperate attempt to perpetuate corrupt capitalism. And while admitting they are right, I am prepared to say that I prefer the rotting capitalistic system to the alternative which Hitler's vic- tory implies.
 s'What are we going to do now? We are going to defend ourselves against the menace that threatens to overwhelm us. We are going to utilize all the resources and power at our command to hold back the rising tide that would engulf us. We do not know what the future may bring. Perhaps new HitlerS will arise to nullify all our present efforts. Perhaps there will arise those within our land who will sully and cheapen the things we seek now to preserve. But we are not bat tling for the ages. We face an inn mediate evil for which there can be but one answer. Our answer must be that for US life and liberty are synonymous terms, that without the one the other would be a wretched, useless thing. We seek to preserve our liberty SO that we may live"

Rib Roast Is One of Choice Cuts of Beef

Sometimes 1t is well to remember that economy in food buying means good management as well as thrifty selection of cuts. The choice cuts of meat have, their place in the schedule of meals of the carefully budgeted household, and they need not be considered an eYtravagance if every portion is used to good advantage.
 When buying roast such as a rib roast of beef, it is 8 move for economy to select one large enough to serve for several meals. This roast may be used for company meal or for Sunday dinner, and the leftover portion will provide for one or more succeeding meals. There is 8 saving in the home makers time and energy when the meat for more than one meal is cooked at one time.

The Squire dialed one number after another and, like the lady at Pootatuck on the party line, he heard only strange converse tion." The Squire meddled with that instrument until far into the night and only became more con- fused. Finally, discouraged and nearly exhausted, the Squire walked about three miles to the nearest house and got a neighbor to come up and give him lessons. Dial phones were finally mastered and communication was re-eStab- lished. Now the Squire is trying to get Billy Daniels to install a phone so they can visit back and forth after the sn0ws come.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-03

It just happened that when the dial phone was installed up there, the Squire of Squaw Rock was downstreet so he failed to get the necessary instructions as to the operation of the instrument. AS soon as the Squire got home. he lifted the receiver and yelled, "Hello!" Nothing happened. The Squire sat down and read the new instructions, but the more he read the less he knew. He tossed the directions into the woodbox and went downstreet again to get 8 few ideas from the enlightened folk of Britain. He had a few drinks, but he figured he knew all about the new telephones when he got backup the hill. He figured wrong.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-03

Every time we mention Billy Daniels, we remember two things! the wrestling match that Billy had with our postmaster and the time they installed dial telephones on Squaw Rock. They've had the regular type of telephones on Squaw Rock for some years. Dur ing the peach season, telephone mp there was necessary because the Hine Cannery needed imme- diate information about the crop So as to tool up for the daily orchard production. Telephones were also mighty handy during the hunting season because it was easy to keep tabs on the game warden by phone, and somebody in the lOwlands was always ready to warn the mountain people when the officer was heading toward the high country. But when dial phones came to Britain, the Squaw Rockers had 8 problem on their hands indeed.

MT. Daniels once dug cedars over Webatuck way and he claims that people out that way are still as simple as during Colonial days. Billy remembers one teamster who hauled wood and claimed special knowledge of superstitions. When ever that man dropped an axe of his wagon, he figured it was an evil omen, so he sat down and had a genuine old-fashioned cry. Billy finally taught the fellow that dropping an axe from 8 wagon wasn't anything to fear.
