Old Fish Story
 Life Magazine Pulls One That Appeared in
 the 'Merry-Go-Round' Over 2 Years Ago.

Life Magazine last week pub lshed what it called "the prize fish story about the President which has never been made pulp lic."
 Roosevelt hooked g. sailflsh," !" Life continued, which in fight ing, had worked the line into a moose. A second sailfish came along, swam into the moose and frightened this around its bill. The hooked fish than got away, but Roosevelt pulled in the second fish which he had finally lassoed by its bill"
 Just two years and a half earlier, on August g, 1888, Life's hitherto unpublished story ap- peared in The Washington Merry-Go-Round as follows:
 e. One of the fish,s leaps developed a big loop in the line. At that moment another giant sailfish zoomed out of the water and was lassoed by the loop. The furious thrashing of the hooked fish frightened the loop, caught under the other fsh's dorsal fin. The strain on the line was too much and the hooked fish broke away, leaving the lassoed fish still firmly lassoed."

MAYOR ENDORSES
 APPEAL OF VIVA
Health Officer Dr. Godfrey Gives Special Broadcast
 for Campaign

Speaking on behalf of the Water bury Visiting Nurse Association, $20,000 annual drive which opened Thursday fnuds of winch are used for the maintenance and support of the organization, Mayor Vim cent A. Scully said last night:
 ITO meet the need for better health as well as to help prevent illness the Visiting Nurse Associa- ton of Waterbury was organized. For many years it has served Wa terbury well. have before me. the number of calls that were made by the nurses this last year. It totals 33,703, or an average of over 2,000 calls for each of the 15 registered nurses.
 Due to illness Mayor Scully was unable to broadcast his endorse ment, but his speech was given over Station WATR by John K. Pratt, a member of the campaign commit tee.
 The mayors speech was broadcast over station WATR.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, Water bury Health Officer, speaking in behalf of the drive over station VERY, said:
 ''The Visiting Nurse Association
 serves our whole city. It does not
 distinguish between race, creed,
 religion or class, and accepts payment only from those who are
 able to pay. About half of the calls the nurse make are not paid for and feel it is one of the most necessary and helpful health pro- tectors."
 Although the Visiting Nurse as- sociation is a community enterprise and its work is beneficial to the community's health as whole, it receives no funds from any political subdivision in the city, state or federal treasury. Only about 2 per cent of the care given by the Wis., iting Nurse association is paid for by patients in full; 3 per cent is paid partially by the patients and about 30 per cent is paid by insur- ance companies. The rest Of their budget has to be paid by private contributors.
 T believe that every good citizen realizes the value of healthy community and the expense of . -healthy one. and so for that reason alone everyone should sup. port the Visiting Nurse association In It's appeal for aid during the present drive"
 Dr. Roger Nelson, in charge Of the weil-ehiid conference ln Water vile, win speak over WATR at i:aO D. m. on behalf Of the cauHe.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-28

With Friday as the last day for filing new bills, the number of pro- posed acts submitted this year is running far behind that of other recent sessions. There will be the usual rush of bills this week, but nevertheless, delay in preparing lists of bills so that hearing dates can be assigned for them will result. It appears now that committees cannot make up their full hearing lists until at least mid-February.
 CamOuflage!
 As the assembly opens its first four-day week, the Republican leadership is still striving desperate ly, but still unsuccessfully, to take the initiative. The COP moves so far have been so transparent as to fool no one into believing that the party heads are doing anything but trying to get all the credit possible for legislation that may be passed at this session. The bill to extend recess appointments, immediately labelled the patronage grab' bill, fell with a thud onto the table of the Democratic senate after passing the Republican house.
 The bill to make permanent the defense committee set-up of former Governor Raymond E. Baldwin met the same fate. And the hysterical attempt to find some way to have the COP gain credit for the Wind sor Locks air base bill made Strike Three for the advisory council that has been deciding Republican poi- cies at Hartford.
 His Excellency
 The Republicans learned at least one thing last week, namely, that they can't underestimate the gen. tleman who occupies the governors chair at Hartford. The man whose power as public works commissioner they had tried to reduce, who made possible the lu1covering of the Merritt Parkway scandal (which has been so neatly glossed over in so many minds) and who handled huge WPA and state public works eX- penditureS without a breath of scandal, gave the boys at Republ- can state hearquarters a few things to think about last week. He was polite, even genial, he'd yield as much as he wanted to yield, but no more, and = he got what he wanted from the legislature. The lesson that the Republican leadership learned last week should have been learned during the campaign, and even earlier.
 Probation System
 Apparently the COP plan Is to jump the gun" all during the session on bills they expect the Democrats to introduce. Evident even before the session started, this becomes now even more clear. Here is the latest instance. Friday after noon, a new state probation plan was laid before the governor by 8 distinguished group including Wa terbury's Superior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy. Presto, last night the Republican leadership at Hartford announced that 1t would submit a bill for new probation system to the assembly today.
