WARDENS ATTEND
 PRE-VUE' HERE
Interesting Demonstration Given of Hostile Planes
 Invading State

Seventy-five warderls, deputies and chairmen of local defense coun- cils witnessed the first demonstra- tion of air raid warning under sirll- ulated wartime conditions at the city hall last night. Representatives from all localities in the Waterbury defense area watched wardens and operators at switchboards engaged in relaying air raid warnings.
 The system of warning civilian populations of the approach of hos tile planes starts with the spotting of aircraft by army manned obser- vation posts. The signal is relayed to the central army warning post, in the case of this district, Waterbury. New York then communicates with this city, and the alarm is broad cast to the communities lying with in the local defense area. The entire procedure, according to state defense officials, occupies less than 90 sec- ondS.
 Charts, diagrams and coloreo signal lights, indicative of the dis tance of the invading bombers, were part of the apparatus employed by the volunteers. The communica' tions system is handled entirely bJ telephones.
 Contributing to the realism of last nights scene was a photographic re. cording of the terrifying wall of all raid sirens, the detonation ol powerful explosives crashing te earth and the ominous, steady mur- mur of bombers overhead.
 Part of program of preparation for army air raid tests scheduled for October 16, other sessions under the sponsorship of the state defense council will be held at the Hartford armory this afternoon at 4 o'clock and in Willimantic tomorrow. Pres ent yesterday were:
 Robert Deming, assistant to Col onel Samuel Fisher, administrator of the state defense council: Ma jor John M. Burrall, controller oi the Waterbury district warning cen ter; Mayor Vincent A. Scully chairman of the Waterbury defense council and coordinator of the Wa terbury civilian defense area; and Frank Green, secretary of the Wa terbury defense council.

WALKER SCORES
 POLICE BOARD
Guilty of Laxity in EnfOrc- ing Speed Law; Patrol
 Cars Called Old Crates

Charges by Alderman Burton Fl. Walker (R) that the police board has been lax in enforcing the 25- mile- -per-hour speed limit were de- nied at last nights alderman's meet ing by Alderman Martin F., Sulli- van CD, member of the police board. However, a motion by Mir. Walker, directing the police board to have the regulation enforced was passed unanimously.
 "Only recently neighbor and friend of mine, the father of 10 children, was killed by an auto mobile" said MT. Walker. "The coroner said two young men were racing in, their cars. Daily we hear complaints about speeding on Bald win street and other streets"
 Mir. Walker went on to charge that the car used by motor patrol men are "old crates" and that not enough motor patrol cars are on duty.
 "One motor patrolman told me" said Alderman Walker, "that he OAOAA NuAC V1J VO SALeoS 01AJOAAS AA his police car-the car wasn't safe enough. He said, too, he was afraid if he did get hurt the city would give him only compensation"
 Alderman George Kingston (R) said that the East End Community club had been complaining about trafIlc conditions in that section.
 T think the police board is do- ing a fine joh," said Alderman Pat rick Shea, Democratic leader.
 Alderman Sullivan contended that the police board was having the speed limit strictly enforced. He said that 90 arrests are made a month for motor vehicle law violations.
 If these critics, city ofticials, see any violations, they should take down the marker numbers of the cars and report them," suggested Alderman Sullivan.
 Ninety arrests month for au- tomobile violations isn't a record to be proud of" said MT. Kingston.
 Without further debate, Alder man Walkers motion was passed.

A number of members of the Washington Park Community Club attended the meeting of the Board of Alderman last evening in the interest of the rubbish and garbage removal, a movement sponsored by the Community Clubs of the city, with John Dzick of Washington Park Community Club, serving as chairman of the inter community club committee.
 It Is more than year since the community clubs gathered together to sponsor this great improvement. As yet, the committee members Of the Board of Aldersan, who were asked to look into this matter by the mayor, have not made any or very little headway in the way of definite report. There is no doubt but what this system of municipal rubbish and garbage removal is the modern and u-to-date method Of handling this and with a city the size of Waterbury, 1t does seem as though we are behind the times. However, the ordinary taxpayer in Waterbury asks "Why doesn't the Health department get back of that movement, we all thought they would favor It." Of course, last year 1t was too late to include this expensive improvement in the hud- get, so the Community Clubs are still working to get 1t In some bud get-but as yet they don't know what year. Giving this a little ser- ious thought-wouldn't 1t be 8 bless If when riding along the outskirts of our city, We didn't have to look at a pile of old tin cans close enough to the road at times, that by reaching out car window, we could pick one up in our hand.
