 January 25, '1940. Hon. Vincent Scully, City Hall,
 Waterbury, Conn.
 My Dear Mfr. Mayor:- 2 Last night at the annual meet ing of this association, the mem- bership were much encouraged with the present outlook for the betterment of our city government. It was felt that we should urge even greater efforts on behalf of honest administration of our civic affairs, so that Waterbury could be in the forefront of well man. aged cities.
 am pleased to tell you that by unanimous vote of the members, it was RESOLVED:
 That, although it is the aim of the c. G. G. A. to ad- vocate the council-manager form of city government, be- ieving that the largest degree of civic efficiency and econ- omy can be obtained only un- der this plan, we realize that it is the duty of our organiza- tion to work for good govern ment in any form. Therefore, with that purpose in mind, we wish to go on rec ord as encouraging the pres ent mayor and other conscien- tious officials to continue their effort to give our city honest and busineSs-like government.
 Very truly yours CITIZENS GOOD GOVERN.

 Motions Similar
 States Atty. Fitzgerald said the motion for the bill of particulars was similar to a motion for more specific information ruled on by the court yesterday. He said that when he received today's motion he imme- diately contacted Miss Cavanaugh's attorneys and gave them the infor- nation concerning the checks in- volved in the case.
 It was apparent from Atty. Fitz- gerald's remarks that most of the facts leading up to the alleged em- bezzlement involve checks.
 Atty. McNiff argued to the court that while Atty. Fitzgerald had sup piled information concerning the checks, he should also be compelled to furnish much additional informa- tion. He said that this information was necessary for the proper prepa- ration of Miss Cavanaugh's case.
 All Information
 The states attorney told the court that he had supplied all the infor- nation that he could properly fur nish.
 Judge McEvoy stated that he would consider the motion and make known his decision later.
 It is expected that the decision will be forthcoming shortly for the reason that Judge McEvoy gave his decision within 24 hours in the mo- tion for more specific information previously filed.

He settled back in his chair and watched
her whirling around with an appreciative grin
on his face.
You wouldn't have swell time at all!

IT WAS all very pleasant. They had little to

come to temporary halt.
Gene and Audrey had come back to Med
vile for the holidays. after the first twelve
weeks of their freshman year in the univer-
sity. Almost at once they had paid their nos
talgic tribute to all the old familiar haunts.
They had driven, slowly, by the high school
and they had dropped into Milbank S for the
fudge sundaes that we're Milbank's pride
And during the course of this sentimental
tour they had seized more than one occasion
to shake their heads, indulgently, over the
saps they used to be. When one is seventeen
years old, year stretches back to dim and
almost unbelievable past
They had been high school children last
year - and they were university students
this year The distinction, none too scrupu-
lously observed by their parents, was dis
tinction of vast importance nevertheless 1t
had given them, certainly, more dignified
position in the community - their changed
status entailing, among other things, their
attendance at the country club dance.
The club dance, to be held few days be-
fore Christmas, was an annual affair, the
seasons big event for Medville's college
crowd. Nor, in the case of Gene and Audrey,
had honor been limited to mere attendance.
Gene had been made chairman of the orches-
ira committee and Audrey had found herself
the chairman of the committee in charge of
decorations. They turned to this engrossing
subject now - even as a quartet in Cleve-
land sent a lusty rendition of Good King
Wenceslaus over the air waves.
I've been thinking =" Audrey said ear
nestly We've got to kind of put the old
brain on that dance thing Because the way it
was last year - they had a lot of Juniors and
maybe one or two sophomores heading up
committees, but they had absolutely no fresh
men at all!'
Yeah? Is that fact" he said. We'll,
listen : you can pick anybody you want to
work with, can't you?"
Sure you can."

other committee. Id make you work for me.

Frederick Wouqh

Death has taken heavy toll in the
field OF art in the last few months.
Among those whose careers have
thus been ended is Frederick j.
Waugh. our leading American ma
rine painter, who died at his home
in Provincetown. Mass. on Septem-
Der 10. within a few days OF his 10Th
birthday anniversary.
Mr.. Waugh. who was born at
Bordentown. N. j.. came of artistic
forebears. his father having been a
successful portrait painter. his
mother painter of miniatures.
From the time of William Penn Mr.
Waugh's ancestors lad lived in or
near Philadelphia. anr it was at the
PENNSYLVANIA Academy of the Fine
Arts that he received his first in
Structlon as painter Later he
studied at the JULIAN Academy in
Paris From France he went to
England and there he spent several
years. doing illustra'irc and paint
ing subject pictures. for which reason
it has sometimes been enormously
said that he was British artist.
From boyhood he had a great love of
the sea, and as time went on this one
subject absorbed all his efforts.
Three of Mr.. Wauehs paintings
are included in our National Art
Collection, having been acquired
and presented with ether paintings
by American artists by William T.
Evans These are knight of the
Holy Grail" "Southwesterly Gale,
st. Ives" and After the North

of the most popular paintings in the
National Art Collection. 1t harks

Mr.. Waugh was doing illustrative

because of the award of cash prizes
