The gay tropical pictures on the
front of the card make us just a
trifle envious, especially when
it is necessary to stoke the fur
mace every hour or so. Enjoy the

come home - the bombs might

Lester Lewis, mounter at the
Newark Stove company, served
in the World War. Ben Jones,
a neighbor of Mr.. Lewis, gives
US the information that Lester
served part of his enlistment on
the battleship Oklahoma which
was reported bombed and sunk
by the Japs in their attack on
Pearl Harbor, Hawii. The Lew

Retiring councilman, "Pete"
Faust, handed Fritz McElroy,
clerk of council, a bouquet with
a string attached, at the close
of the regular council meeting
Monday night when he said that
Fritz had been a very efficient
clerk, even if he had played a
little politics. Fritz had just
finished a little speech wherein
he mentioned that after two
years as clerk he felt he was
qualified to continue in the job.
Pete's remark brought a laugh
all around. But that's the way
to do it Fritz-when you've got
the ball, do your darndest to
get it across the goal line. Ev-
en- cigars might be a good sub
stitute for taking out interfer-
ence.

there was possibility of appre- hending one or two New York men wanted on the Lottery charges.
 The written plea of nolo con- tendere was entered by Harold M. Lewis, 46, commander of Crusaders Post and at present a supernumer- ary policeman of the borough.
 Those pleading guilty are:
 Fred M. Burke, A, adjutant of the post.
 Felix Nardello, fl, steward at the posts headquarters.
 Irving Brown, 46, West Haven formerly of Naugatuck and one ot the organizers of Crusaders Post.

 When court convened, the New York men were arraigned as a group separate from the New Haven County group. States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald directed the men to take. pleas on charges of violation of the state lottery laws The charge of conspiracy was not pressed. This seems to indicate the State will not ask for convic- ton on the more serious charge of conspiracy, which carries a maxi

INDIAN PROBLEM
 DISCUSSED HERE
Theological Student Tells Of Experiences Among
 Oklahoma Tribes

Stanley P. Borden, student at the Union Theological Seminary of New York, spoke on the problems which the American Indians in Oklahoma are faced with, at 8 meeting last night at the Waterbury Naturalist club in the Mattatuck Historical building.
 MT. Borden devoted last summer to mission work among the Indians in Oklahoma. He said that among ts:as cift!c: .:sS d 1e Indians are faced with are .neir attempts at absorbing the culture of. the white race, the change from rowing tribes to a settled population with the attendant diseases, particular tu- berculosis, and the resultant changes in their religious ideals when they live among the white race.
 MT. Borden explained that the Indians of Oklahoma rejected the plan of the government which was the Indian reorganization act and which permitted them to govern themselves. They would prefer to remain wards of the government. and they result efforts made by the government toward returning them to to their own cultural ways of life, which implies thatt hey are inferior to the culture of the whites.
 The tribes among whom MT. Bor- den carried on his mission work were the Cheyenne, Arapoho, Apache, Kiowa, Comanche, Caddo, Wichita and Delaware. Colored lan- tern slides were shown during the lecture.

YOUTH SELECTS
 TRIAL BY JURY
Former Cheshire RefOrma= tory Inmate Faces First
 Degree Murder Charge

John Saitkowski, 26, of Pawtucket, R. l.. former inmate of the Cheshire reformatory, will go on trial Tues day, Jan. 21, on a charge of first degree murder in the death of John Beall, k,tchen attache at the reform atory. Judge Robert L. Munger yes- te:--day ordered a section of the first degree murder indictment against the accused be stricken out. The part was in reference to the claim that the youth killed the overseer in an attempt to rob him.
 Saitkowski, who was indicted for the staying of MT. Beall in Mo- venber promptly entered a not guilty plea and elected a trial by jury.
 A formal motion to separate counts was made by Public Defender Ed ward T. Ca-mody and assistant Special Public Defender William w.. Gager. The defense attorneys claim that Saitkowski was charged with premeditated murder and also with having killed the kitchen overseer at the refornfatory in an attempt robbery. The defense stated that this left them in a doubt as to the exact nature of the charge he will have, to face.
 Consequently Judge Munger or dered that the section of the in- dictment alleging the killing took place in a robbery be eliminated. The indictment stands with the al- legation that the killing of MT. Beall was premeditated.
 One week will possibly be devoted in selecting the jury and the trial may last four weeks. The state and the defense has 25 challenges and some of the selected men may be opposed to capital punishment.
