To Give "tate / Two Pieces Of Land
Connecticut To Turn Over Other Property With $l,5OO
 Fred Smedley Explains Details Of Negotiations

Naugatuck, March "Details of improvements on the Naugatuck Beacon Falls road which include making two entirely separate one- way roads in part of the stretch there were given to the borough board last night by Atty. Fred Smed- ley of the state highway department.
 The board authorized Warden John J. Sheridan to sign vouchers and an agreement under which the town will give the state two pieces of land and the state will turn over to the town certain land and will also pay the town $500.
 The road when completed will en- able the motorist to enjoy more fully the scenic beauties of the val. ley road, MT. Smedley told the Dem. ocrat. It will be a four-lane high- way at Kennedy's corner with a sep. aration so that south-bound traffic will be able to go one-way without worry about cars coming north, and vice-versa. It will be 1900 feet in length, and is expected to be com- plete before the end of next summer.
 At Cotton Hollow the road on which south-bound traffic will go will swing to the west eliminating sharp curve there. At this point there will be another road more to the east for north-bound traffic. The two roads will converge in Bea- con Falls just north of the state police barracks. The corner on which

All CLUB LEADERS
 TO DISCUSS PLANS
Eastern Exposition Off, cials Plan To Expand
 Lamb, Pig Show

Springfield, Mass, March 5.-So great was the success of the first Junior Fat Lamb and Pig Show held as part of the Eastern States Exposition last fall, that the com- mittee in charge of the event, head ed by Prof. w. B. Young of Con- necticut State college, has decided not only to con,inu it another year, but to expand 1t. This decision was reached during a meeting of the committee at the exposition offices in Springfield last week when sanc- ton to enlarge the event was se- cured from the New England Sheep and Wool Growers asSocia, ion, which finances the junior show.
 Reports from Prof. Young, Harley Leland, assistant State All Club leader of Massachusetts, who is treasurer of the committee, and Lester TompkinS of the State De- partment of Agriculture, who is sec- retary, were so encouraging that the Sheep and Wool Growers associa- ton decided to finance a 50 per cent increase in entries for 1941.
 A meeting of County All Club leaders has been called in Spring field for April to discuss detailed plans for expansion of the boys and girls fat lamb and pig show at the Eas,ern States Exposition, Sept. IA to 20. It is open to young people throughout New England, and last year 50 lambs and p.gs were entered from Massachusetts, Con- nect!cut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

 VETERAN CACER
Killers Playing Coach Pas- timing l7 Years Despite
 Trick Knee

Naugatuck, March 5.-Seventeen years in one sport is long time, in fact very few except profession als stick in a sport that long, but the annual "" tournament which opens tonight will have on one of the teams competing @ man who has been playing the sport for IT years.
 This is Paul M. BeardEley, son of the late Borough Engineer and Mrs. Robert Beardsley, of Meadow street, who is the playing coach of the Killers hoop five
 Beardsley has been playing bas- ketball since he was & freshman at the high school and although he now sports @ trick" knee that limits his playing time, and is @ sedate citizen of the town, he still retains his fondness for active competition and plans to be in the lineup when the Killers meet the Five Old Men in the tourney tonight at 8 o'clock.
 Beardsley played basketball for the Naugatuck high school and was an outstanding end on the foot ball team. during his high school days. He was star for the Kill CTS after high school days for @ number of years, and although he has put on some weight and real- izes he can't keep up for long the pace the youngsters of today sets, he hopes to offset this with the ex- perience and keen eye for the bas- ket that have resulted from his years Of play.
 Captain of the Killers Is Bill Jones, who is also a veteran and a former star of the U. s. Rubber team.
 Beardsley is coach of the Killers. Beardsley belong to local group which studies vocabulary building and 1t Is reported that the Killers may have for signals & set of six syllable words that will not only confuse their opponents but may so amaze them that the Killers will gain that few seconds advantage that often means the difference be- tween victory and defeat.

city but is too strong for the oth- CT sections. It will damage the plumbing fixtures. What good Is such @ reservoir? Let us give 1t to the Chase companies. They need more water. And the city may obtain some revenue from renting the shores to concession. aires. The engineering department also told us that we are liable to run short of water in the Wigwam and Morris, as we have only three billions gallons stored there and we are using about ten millions gallons @ day. Well, 1t would take 300 days to use up the water stored in those reservoirs, without figuring the water that is flowing in. It seems that the engineering department got crossed up on It's arithmetic.
 I have also mentioned that the Big Three will hold a meeting this week. If this statement Is not clear to anyone, I will amplify 1t. The Big Three refers to the Ad- ditional Water Supply commits sion. It Is controlled by the heads of the city's three largest indus tries and 1t holds meetings when- ever the city's financial condition is SO bad that bond issues are irn- perative. Yes, 1t will approve the proposed bonds.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 FOR JACKSON DAY
John M. Golden Of New Haven Named Chairman
 Of State Committee

Initial plans for the annual Jack son Day Victory dinner of the Democratic party of Connecticut were initiated this week with the appointment of John M. Golden of New Haven as general chairman. The dinner will be held at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, on Saturday, March 29.
 MT. Goldens appointment was announced late yesterday by John T. Mccarthy, chairman of the Democratic state central commit tee.
 As yet Mayor Vincent A. Scully, Town Chairman Maurice F. Tang ney, and other local Democratic of- meals have not been notihed of plans concerning the olnner, out 1t IS expected that, as in the past, there will be a good-sizsd deiega- ton present from Waterbury.
 The l94l dinner will be somewhat different from those of other years featured by the fact that they cost each individual e25 a plate in that those attending will have rec ceiyed invitations and party con- triputors are expected to be the ones receiving the invitations. This pro- cedure is being adopted so as to avoid any difficulties under the Hatch law banning federal officials from political activities.

To Move Fence

Tn addition the state Is to give the borough several small pieces of land. The town will have to move the present cyclone fence encircling Recreation field to the new line but MT. Smedley estimated the $500 the state will pay the town will take care of the cost of extending the sewer and also part at least of the cost of moving the cyclone fence.
 When queried as to whether the state would put 8 sidewalk in the new street to connect South Main street with the Recreation field, MT. Smedley did not give a definite an- swer but indicated 1t would not, ex- plaining 1t was the state policy to install a walk if one had existed there before but no walk is there now. He added however the new connect ing road will be wider than the pre- sent road.
 The board In its vote authorizing the warden passed It subject to the approval of hte board of eductaion, which has control of Recreation field. The school board Is expected to approve 1t Thursday.
 It was also voted to extend the trunk line sewer from its present ending to the track of land the state will give the town. the expenses to be taken from the trunk line sewer bund. Burgess Leo Smigelski said there is no money in the trunk line sewer fund but Borough Clerk Charles F. Daly said that is the place to charge it.

he was socked good and proper by Bridgeport's mayor. Well, this is the senator's first term and his tanning himself can be laid to lack of experience. And our city administration did not fare so well in the fracas. For 1t brought out a comparison of the financial conditions of both cities which was unfavorable to us. Bridgeport has a grand list of 246 millions while we have @ grand list of about 167 millions. Bridgeport's bonded debt is slightly over B millions, while ours will reach close to 19 millions, if the new bonds are authorized. Bridgeport has a floating debt of $750, 900, while ours is around $2,500, ,000. Mayor McLevy has issued cotn- plete statements of his city's fi- nancial operations, has reduced the tax rate along sound financial lines, usually a fraction of a mill at time, amounting to about $75,000 year. Our own admin istration has given out no state ment whatever for the year 1889 when the tax rate was 35 mills, has given out an unofficial and ir- responsible statement for l940 that is incredible and in which claims are made that surplus of over $400,000 was arnassed after the tax rate was reduced four mills in two years, involving a loss of revenue of $660,000 and in the face of an increase of expendi- lures during that period of some $400,000 through the. restoration of pay cuts, pensions, etc. Well, that Is how the two cities cora- pare.
 WATR Forum
 Station WATR conducts Q forum over the air Friday nights on current events. It conducted 8 forum last Friday night in which the local bond issues were discussed. The affirmative was represented by Mayor Scully, Comptroller Conlon and Senator Sullivan of New Britain, while the negative was represented by Alderman Reiner. On the face of 1t, 1t appears that the station took particular pains to see to 1t that the affirmative side was not under-represented, although I un- derstand that Alderman Reiner> gave a very good account of him- self. However. I would like to advise the station that I am avail- able for such Q forum and would not mind if the aforementioned would oppose me. They can also bring along Senators Blansfield and Cooney and any other sena- tor whom they believe may be able to assist them. Ten minutes is all the time that I would re- quire.

0eO11s GuU1S 1SktCE 4OlkOWSs To the Editor of the Democrat:
 It has long been an accepted axiom in military as well as oth- CT strategy that good offense makes the best defense. Like oth- CT axioms, 1t is subject to certain qualifications or exceptions. For instance, an offense that over- reaches itself is liable to become a defense and 1t may not only not become the best defense, but even Q good defense. It may become Q rout. It seems to me that that is exactly what happened in the General Assembly last week when the Democratic senators tried to hamstring Mayor McLevy on his bond bills.
 The only weapon these senators displayed in that fracas was their monumental nerve. Every one of them represents the political ma chine of his respective city and every one of them is looking for bond issues. These bond issues are practically all refunding bond issues, although they are prob- ably disguised as improvement bonds.
 Financial Record
 Mayor McLevy did not have to extend himself to put them in their places for none of the cities that they hail from can show Q financial record that is compar. able to his. And their handling of the matter was decidedly stupid, and bordered on the comic. They started of by try. ing to broadcast the impression that he was trying to put over some form of hocus-p -pocus In lock- ing for those bond issues and thea voted him one-half of what he asked for. The foolishness of this attitude was 50 apparent that the governor had to step in and force the bills through to save his party henchmen from becoming o worse laughing stock than they had already become.
 The funny thing about the whole matter was that these sena- tors had good grounds to oppose those bond bills, but two factors mitigated against them. One was that they themselves are looking for bonds and the other was their maliciousness. On the first, 1t was 6 case of people living in glass houses trying to throw stones, with results that could be anticipated. The second factor could have been eliminated If these senators could have laid aside their personal animus and political gerrymandering and ad. vanced the argument that inas. much as Mayor McLevy was able to balance his budget and pay off something on his city's bonded debt during depression years, he should be able to do better this year with better business condi- tons and pay off the entire bond redemption charges for this year. Had they advanced this argu- ment, they would have been on solid ground.
 Offers Comparison
 Our own Senator Blansfield was in the thick of the melee, being the chairman of the finance corn- mittee, and stuck his chin out a little farther than the rest. It Is needless for me to elaborate that
