 Ed. T. Clark, Robins street cit- izen of nearby Waterbury, reports wide reader interest flOurishing i'm the Naugatuck Valley. Clark shoots along clips on the K. of C., much-admired for their work In France the last time America de- cided to hold the bag for warrior politicians in Europe. He knows, because he was there. He later worked for the K. of c. Through the National Catholic Community Service, we understand the K. of c. will participate in fund rais- ing and in various welfare mis- siOns under the U. s. O. New Dealer Paul V. McNutt, best dresser and Federal Security Ad- ministrator, has the responsibility of coOrdinating private agencies engaged in this work. The Mc- Mutt forces are afield, primed with heavy expense accounts. Let's hope the K. of c. gets it's proper share.
 Our Brass City adnirer writes that when he. motored past Mo Carthy's Store, the other day, Mrs Clark remarked, There's the Bill Garrigus Store" To avoid mis- understandings, your correspondent has only cultural interest in the Mccarthy emporium. Henry has good groceries, excellent wearing apparel, hardware that wears, and such stock of candy as would make 8 Bauby's Corner marchandiser green with envy. Don't drive by McCarthy's Store. Stop in. If you see an elderly Yank sitting there near the ice cream, that1l be Sam Pierce.
 Remember to celebrate July Fourth by motoring to South Bri- tain. If you cannot buy fireworks locally, Tony-the- Barber usually has a few sky. rockets left over. not to mention paper caps and torpedos. There'l be action at Lake Zoar, around Oak Tree, and down near the Cantone Cafe. Visit Poverty Avenue School and see what s swell job our Building Committee has done. Drive over our back roads at your own risk, just as some of the signs warn.
 Fourth of July isn't as lively as it used to be-. When the boys and men rolled barrels of powder and kegs of beer to the crest of Cannon Hill, and when Bill Hicock wrote poetry, South Britain was like Vesuvius in errup- ton or Kaneohe during the typhoon Then we had no Louisiana newcom- CTS to shut up our swimming holes or trailer transcients to warn the kids off the river banks. We had Cannon, and it knew how to talk out loudl
 That cannon was a beauty. Frank Bowers claims 1t would stop . Maxi tank cold or sink B sub marine off Bridgeport. It never exploded despite varying loads of blasting powder and other potent charges. It was as reliable as q WPA man on payday. The South Britain cannon was an institution. (and net defective institution, . at that.)
 Wine hard times forced the prics of powder so high that man coule only afford to shoot one deer a week the custom Of firing that old can. non was abandoned. The bore be came the shelter for chipmunks The outer surface took on patins of rust. Then a local financier saw a. profit in the old gun, art sold 1t for junk.
 South Britain hasn't a cannon. this year but 1t has enough other things to warrant yeur journey down here. Come and see us be- fore KcCsarthy decks out the store with Neon lights. Lock us up be- fore we step out of our colonial manner and become civilized.

STATEWIDE
 ! INTEREST IN HATCHER-PACE
Strong Opening Bout Is Sought Today; ROys
 Meets WiIIOughby

So that 1t may present five of the best bouts obtainable, and insure an all-action card of boxing tomor- row night at Randolph Cloves Sta dium, Waterbury A. c. officials were scouting around today for an open ing bout of four rounds which will be worthy of 8 show headed by Jimmy Hatcher and Georgie Pace, which shapes up Ion paper" as the outstanding outdoor attraction of the season, in which the main bout may surpass anything yet shown in Connecticut rings since the cus- tomersgot take their boxing under the stars.
 Promoter Careful
 A four round bout may not seem important to the average fan, but the idea of the promoter is, first and foremost to get his show off to a flying start, for a good opening bout gets the fans on edge, en- thusiastic and talkatlve.
 Tn the e-Hatcher, Roys-Will- oughby and Katz-Moran bouts, the Waterbury A. c. promoters, George Mulligan, Bobby Kelly and Mickey Dance have three "sure-fire" at- fractions and Sam Craig will meet Stanley Berl of New York in an- other sixer that ought to be inter- esting though Sammy has not shown his stuff in some time, but has been in hard training with brother Ed- die carr.
 State Interest
 Tickets for the show have been going well, the main go has received statewide publicity and will draw from Hartford, too, where there are many fans who want to see the boy who Ticker Red Guggino after he had taken Johnny Hellus and Leo Kodak of Chicago, and that boy Is Jimmy Hatcher, a fine little fighter who has already been tested in the local ring last summer when he turnedout to be & prime local fav- orite ranking second only to Irish Eddie Dolan.

NELSON MAY BE
 P.G.A. ALSO-RAN
Defending Champ Far Off Form; Snead With Two
 60's Man to Beat"
BY STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff Correspondent

Cherry Hills Club, Denver, July g -(UP)-This is the day of sudden death at Cherry Hills as GA survivors of a series of eliminations began five days of match play for the pro- fessional golfers association cham pionship held by Byron Nelson.
 There will be two short rounds of IS holes dreaded by all who make their living from golf. The GA will be l6 at nightfall and on the basis of early rounds, Nelson, himself, may be the first major casualty.
 The champion, sadly off form, meets little Bunney Torpey of Dod- son, Mo, in his first match. Torpey qualified with 73-74-l47 and was @ dangerous opponent for a man who has lost his touch.
 As they swung off the first tee today, slammin' Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va, was the man beat Runner-up to Nelson at Hershey, last season, the ailing Virginian pieced together two 69's during the qualifying rounds Monday and Tuesday, winning the diamond studded Alex Smith medal by one stroke over E.

 A stroke behind Harrison in the qualifying trials were Jimmy De- maret, Noroton, Conn, Henry Ran- som, Fort Worth, Texas; George Fazio, Philadelphia, and the early favorite, little Ben Hogan, all with l40.
