The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-28

The board of directors of the Lin- coin House association yesterday named Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp, case work supervisor for the city welfare department, to serve as acting exec cutive secretary. She will serve un. til the board takes action toward appointing a permanent successor to Executive Secretary William M. Harris, who daed last week.
 Appointment of Mrs. Camp means that she will have to secure c leave of absence from the welfare depart- inent, but supt. Martin Hayden said he would "be very glad to COG operate" in making the necessary arrangements.
 Mrs. Camp was with the Lincoln House from 1923 to 1884, leaving in that year to become case work su- perviSor for the city. She served as acting head of the welfare de- partment for some months in l9Ss and 1889.
 The Lincoln House association has named Q committee consisting o1 Edward T. Carmody, president; Mrs Richard w. 0oss, Rodney Chase and Mrs. Joel I. Butler to consider the qualifications of successor to MT Harris.
 The board yesterday adopted the following resolution on the death of MT. Harris:

MAYOR APPOINTS NEW COMMITTEE
Seven Selected 10 Conduct Survey on Current Water
 Rates Here

A seven-man committee named by Mayor Vincent A. sculiy was ready today to begin . study of municipal water rents preparatory to making changes in the rate structure. It is expected that the committee will recommend the adoption of a sliding rate scale to replace the present flat rate system by which all consumers are chArg- ed alike no matter how much water they use.
 Members of the committee are: City Engineer Charles 4. Root supt. of Streets and Water Herbert scott-Smith Assistant Supt. of Wa ter Frank Cassifl Controller ThoIn- as M. Conlon Aldermanic President John s. Monagan Alderman Wil- liam V. derardi and Alderman Dan- Tel Driscoll of the board of public works.
 Tn his annual message the mayor had stressed the need for such Q study and for changes in the water rent system.
 One of the subjects to which the committee will give careful atten- ton will be the arbitrary charges levied against city departments no matter how little water they use. City departments are charged ap' proxirmately $266000 q year for wa. ter. This procedure enables the city to keep water rents ct their present level but the average taxpayer suf- fers because money from the gefl- erai tax fund must 60 toward pay- ing the water costs charged to de- partfnef1ts.
 Supporters of sliding scale of wa. ter rents claim that its adoption would mean more revenue for the city since it would spur factories and other large consumers to usa more water. Thus, 1t is argueds though the the rate charged them would be less their actual paSmenta would be greater.

SUPREME COURT
 UPHOLDS RULING
Verdict of SlO,OOO Given Plaintiff Sustained By
 High Tribunal

The Supreme Court of Errors to- day handed down Q judgment up. holding the decision of the Superior Court in the case of Rocco Marini vs. William V. Wynn.
 A jury verdict awarding $l0,000 in damages to the plaintiff, MT. Marinl, was returned on November i3, io4o, set aside when Judge Alfred o. Baldwin of Superior Court grant, ed such Q motion by defense coun- sel on December 10, l940, and the following day upon reargument was reinstated. From this final judg. ment the defendant, MT. Wynn, ap- Errors on January 24, lo4i.
 Mir. Marini instituted civil action against the defendant after he was struck by car owned and operated by Mir. Wynn, at the corner of East Main and Hayden streets, October 3, 1889 As Q consequence of the acci- dent he allegedly suffered severe in- juries.
 The defendant was charged with carelessness, negligence and reckless driving.
 In an opinion handed down by Justic Allyn L. Brown, associate jus- tice of the Supreme Court of Errors, 1t was stated that:
 Since there was evidence reason- ably supporting the jury's finding of negligence by the defendant in fail- ing to keep proper lookout which was a proximate cause of the acci- dent, and that the plaintiff was free from contributory negligence, the court properly denied the defend- ants motion to set aside the ver- dict. To have permitted It's original contrary ruling to stand would have been error. Accordingly, in reversing 1t during the same term of court as the court did, 1t in no sense H. legally prejudiced the rights of the defendant. There is no error."
 In this opinion the other judges concurTed.

DRUMMER BOY
n1l BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

dranddad used to tell us all about war, From American Civil to the 1oer. We hung on his words with morbid Joy, Especialy the parts about the drummer boy. Oh north was north, and south was south, The summers brought rain and also drought Tales of Gettysburg and Antietam we would enjoy Especially the brave doings of the drummer boy. We don't hear much of drummer boys today They don't seem to figure in the play. All we know comes from old military lore, They don't need drums in modern war; The whiz of bonbers takes the place of drums, The kind of contrapton which shrieks and huns. There's no substitute modern warfare can employ To take the place of the drummer boy

THEY WORK BEHIND MASK OF INNOCENCE

Many of the children, orphaned by the war, actually live with the guerrillaS. Other young war orphans who were rescued by Mime. Chiang Kai-shek's orphanages, which are financed through United China Re- lief, have slipped out of the orphan ages to join the guerrilla bands.
 The little devils" work in c var. iety of ways. Many of them don't need to leave their native villages. They do their guerrilla work while supposedly engaged in innocent childhood pursuits.
 Tn addition to watchdog duties, watehdogs, protecting the "vest- pocket cooperatives" which carry on manufacturing inside the peasant huts in occupied territory. Japanese searching parties seldom have been able to surprise the hidden work shops.
 Tn addition to watchdog duties, the youngsters act as intelligence officers for the regular army. They observe troop movements and spot ammunition trains. Their small size helps them slip through the Jap- anese lines ct night with this intel- ligence.
 Couriers who keep the individual guerrilla bands in contact with the regular army are entirely taken from children volunteers. Waterboys in the Japanese camps, kids loung- Ing along the roadside-all may be spies.
