Barbers Inaugurate
 New Price Campaign.
6O=Cent Haircuts Advised By State Barber COmmiss siOnerlPresident Sumnla of Local Union
 Among Banquet Speakers

Middletown, Jan. 29-Middletown master and journeynen barbers were advised by State Barber Com missioner Joseph N. DePaola of Mer- iden last night to increase the charge for haircuts from 50 to 60 cents as have barberS in many oth- CT Connecticut cities.
 Rising costs of operation because of the need for modern equipment and higher prices for supplies were advanced by Commissioner DePaola as the reasons for his recommenda- tion. Executive boards of both the master and journeymen barbers as- sociations will meet in the near future to take action on the matter.
 Joint Meeting
 Commissioner DePaola addressed the barbers at joint banquet in the Rose Garden Restaurant follow ing installation of officers by both the master and journeymen groups in the Central Labor Hall.
 If the barbers raise the charge for haircutS now when times are good they will be able to save some money and if the predicted depres- sion comes then they can reduce the charge, thus making the situa- tion easier for all, the commissioner pointed out.
 The barbering business is good at present, according to MT. DePaola, because many barberS are entering defense industries with the result that for the first time in years bar berS are finding a three or four deep waiting line. There is no short age of barbers in Connecticut so far, as a result of the move toward in- dustry because fte barbering pro- fession was overcrowded, Commits Sioner DePaola pointed out.
 Stricter requirements for those entering barbering will help the trade tremendously when those now working in defense industries seek to return to their original work at the close of the present defense boom, MT. DePaola said as he rec commended that the necessary steps be taken for legislation along this line.
 Middletown barbers keep their shops in excellent condition and residents of the city should be proud of this record and the fine spirit of cooperation between the master and journeymen associa- tions, Commissioner DePaola con- cluded.

FIRE DESTROYS
 EAST END HOME
One-Family Wooden Dwell ling Scene of Spectacu=
 lar Blaze;

Flames swept through one-fam- fly wooden dwelling at 2554 East Main street last night before the arrival of four fire companies. Spec tators from miles around were drawn to the fire which lighted up the East End section. Added ex- citement was offered to the by islanders when an automobile at the scene skidded on the icy pavement and knocked a couplet of the hy- drant which the firemen were us- ing, causing the water to spout into the air for almost 75 feet.
 One occupant of the house, Will liam Lederer, 73, who was resting in bedroom of the kitchen, was awakened by the smoke and flames. He immediately ran to the front porch and called out to Alfred Ric- ciardi, bartender at the Rockville tavern to send in an alarm for the fire department. Lederer suffered slight burns on the forehead, which did not require hospital treatment. His wife, Mrs. Lederer, and her daughter, Mrs. Pearl E. Kourshakoff, were down town at the time of the fire.
 In near-freezing temperature, the water from the hydrant formed a glossy surface over the highway as it froze, making travelling treach- erous. The spout from the hydrant continued for almost two hours be- fore employees of the water depart ment emergency crew could repair the couplet.
 Mrs. Kourshakof told Lieut.. Eu- gene Legge, aide to the fire marshal, that she had about $55 in the bu- reau drawer in the house. The money was destroyed by the flames which mushroomed through the partitions and burst through the roof before the fire apparatus ar- rived at the scene.
 Lieut. Legge said that the occu- pants did not carry insurance on their furnishings. The house is owned by Jeremiah Mccarthy. The fire was caused by an overheated kitchen stove, Lieut.. Legge reported.
 Bremen were under the super vision of Acting Deputy Chief Ste phen J. Bloomfield and firemen from stations on East Main at Well ton street, East Main bungalow and headquarters responded.
 A police detail headed by Sergt Charles McWeeney and assisted by Motor Patrolmen Thomas Phalan Joseph Dunphy, Donald Monaghan and Patrolman Timothy Hurley as- sisted at the fire and directed traf- fic.

This plan when carried to it's logical end will bind all men to- gether with a great feeling of friendship in one vast army for peace with the greatest leader any army ever had, Jesus Christ. We, who know His teachings, must do all possible to get other men in a Bible class where they may also learn of Him and what He stands for.

Local Troops Erect
 Amateur Radio Set
Now Seeking Contacts With Local Operators; Water bury Democrat Keeps Battery G Informed of Events

at the camp is the newspaper clip pings of the Waterbury Democrat the boys are receiving through the mails. It can be readily seen the folks at home are following the movements of the boys with keen interest. One paper in town is striv- ing for some local angles and has contacted two persons to write, but due to their enlisted mans job they find it hard to do. All the news papers around this territory are caShing in on this publicity. They run special news articles, pictures and comments of the training camp. And issues are sold around here like hot-cakes.
 A file of the Waterbury Democrat has been set up in Battery G's day room for the soldiers of the unit who are unable to get copy of the local paper. Each day its columns are scanned with deep interest.
 Private Francis Grove who was formerly a fireman for the Wolcott fire force, has been appointed private first class with a fifth class special ist's rating and has been assigned as personal chauffeur to Captain Egan.
 Extending greetings to Colonel Francis J. Shearer, commanding ot- ficer of Connecticut's 208th Coast Artillery, and to the officers and men of the anti-aircraft regiment, Major General John F. Williams, Chief of the National Guard Bu- reau stated in letter recieved here today T have full confidence that with a full appreciation of the re- responsibilities involved, and as a result of the unremitting efforts on the part of all, your command will reflect credit on its state and on the National Guard as a whole"
 General Williams pointed out in this letter that upon induction your command ceased to be under the control of the National Guard Bureau, although in its hands rests the reputation of the Guard of its State and of the National Guard as a whole"
 Explaining that the head Of the National Guard Bureau referred to the fact that the 20sth altered its status upon induction into the Army of the United States and would not resume Q National Guard designation until It's return from q year of active duty, Colonel shear- CT expressed qualification with the high regard indicated by General Williams and said we of the 20eth fully realize the task that lies ahead, we will Do mindful at all times Of the high standards alFeady set for thls new regiment by other Connecticut military organizations" !"

mayors office Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock to go over the plans for the structure.
 If the board approves the present plans for the bridge, actual work on it can proceed rapidly from that point. Prior to construction itself, of course, there will be hearing by the Bureau of Assessment on change in grade, layout, etc, if such are called for in the plans as adopted.
 Different plans have been ad- vanced for a new Baldwin street bridge for number of years now, involving at times radical changes in the street layout at this particular point. The city has also acquired considerable property on both sides of the bridge which were to figure in ultimate improvements there, such as rounding off of croners and ap- breaches to it.
 There is available for construction of the Baldwin street bridge $92, ,000 right now, the same having been authorized by the Legislature in local bridge bonds. This money has been earmarked for such purpose for some time, but inability to agree on the type of bridge and the ques- tion of contributary responsibility by the New Haven Road and the Scovill Company have long delayed the pro- ject.
 The late City Engineer Robert A. Cairns once prepared plans for a bridge at the point which would have raised the level of Baldwin street many feet from a point east of Union Square to point on Bald- win street well above the intersec- lions of Bridge and River streets. This was followed by acquisition of property on both sides of the bridge to provide for adequate approaches.
 It is believed that the present plan of the City Engineering Department does not include for such sweeping changes as this. It is also pointed out that the available bridge funds $92 000-would not be sufficient for an improvement such as this.
 Considerable debate was heard during 194O over the question of the bridges safety, it being contended that it was unsafe for loads beyond a certain weight.
 If the project is. approved on Fri day by the City Plan Commission the first major civic improvement of 1941 will officially get underway by the Scully administration.
