Two fundamental qualities were
outstanding throughout the con-

noticeable in the aria, Caro-

Heaviest Traffic In
 History Predicted
Connecticut Safety Commission Makes Pre.FioIday
 Appeal to Drivers to Obey Laws, Drive Safely

"stay in line ct moderate speed, keep up with traffic. the High- way Safety Commission advises in c statement to oil motorists using Connecticut's roads over the Fourth Of July holiday weekend,
 with the heaviest traffic in his. tory expected from Thursday, July 3, to Monday, July 7", the state. inent continues, "all who would drive rather than stay at home owe 1t to themselves, their families and to their fellow motorists to exert exreme patience, courtesy and cau. tion."
 The little bit of time that might Dc saved by cutting in and out of traffic Is scarcely worth the more than ordinary chance of . colli- sion on the roads during these four nights and days. Few motorists can afford working time lost or . wrecked family car. Few motorists can afford the cost of repairing or replacing the car that carries them to work. All motorists would avoid those bills for hospital care because Of cuts and bruises or broken bones received in an accident. No motor- ist wants to Dc part of the tragedy of inutilation or death.
 While every drivers best effort for patience and care is needed, the Sunday Driver" has Q special re- sponsibility. This fellow, bent on

 -. studied with the same teacher, Theodore LesehetiSly, of Vienna, with whom nearly all the distln. suished pianists of the present day have studied At one time or Ati. ether.
 Rev, John Balasa, pastor of St, stAnislaus KoStka church also OK. pressed deep regret ct the passing of SO lovable c figure as paderewskl, and extolled his stAteSmanship, his love of his native Poland, and his devotion to the ideals of freedom and democracy. He pointed out the difficulties which Paderewski faced on becoming premier of Poland, in attempting to Introduce c system ol goverAment modelled after that Of this country. Tho Poles always turned to their beloved paderswski for guidance In times of crisis, he pointed out, just as the Germans turned to their beloved Paderewskl burg, and the French to Marshal Pc. tain. ...
 rather Balasa spoke feelingly of the strong bond of fellowship be. tween Paderewski and the Catholic clergy. He recalled . reception giv. en four or five years Ago In Hart. ford for the aged musician, at which time he served on the committee.
 Local Polish circles plan to con. duct q special service In memory Of their departed lender. Arrange. insnts are now being made, ii con- function with other Polish groups throuehout the state,
 1t Is an ironio fact, in view of the desperate condition of Poland at the time of paderewskis death, to note on the programme for his ap. pearance in Waterbury In 1916, that large autographed photographs and various other Polish souvenirs were put on sale following the concert, the proceeds to go to the Polish victims Relief Fund. The situation Is not SO different today, despite the passage of Q quarter of . century.

COSKEY EXPECTED
 TO BE REELECTED
LawIor, Mulligan, Brown in Running for Deputy
 Position

The names of former Athletic Commissioner Joseph H. Lawlor, as well as those of George Mulligan and Patrick H. Patsy Brown, prominent sportsmen of this city, continue to be mentioned in con- nection with the office of Deputy State Athletic Commissioner, The Democrat learned today.
 It is now expected that the in- cumbent, Com. Frank Coskey of West Hartford, will be, renamed, ale though Gov. Robert A. Hurley may delay this appointment until his return from Florida where he is due July l2 for a review of the Connecticut guardsmen encamped there. The governor was in Boston over the weekend attending the annual conference of governors.
 If the Coskey appointment does not come through this week 1t will hang fire possibly for another week or two. Apparently there is no doubt as to Coskey's reappoint- ment, but the choice of a deputy is believed to be causing the de- lay.
 Com. Coskey is known to favor reappointment of Deputy Com. Basil Fitzpatrick, but considerable pres sure has been brought to bear at Hartford in behalf of a number of other aspirants, including the Wa terburians, who have been prom inently linked with the appoint ment from the very outset.
 Among others mentioned are Mayor Frank Stack of Norwalk, Judge Maurice B. Landers of East Hartford, and Joe" Waters of Bridgeport.
