|'Dick'McC Cartlly orm CT Patrolman Merits Well.Earned Rest With Pension
 Privileges.
lRY THE oUT.EAsTERl

Richard Mccarthy, of 43 Fuller St., has just been retired from ac- tive service in the police depart- ment. We do not know just how long Dick was connected with the Dept, but 1t must have been for Q period of around 90 years.
 We have seen policemen come and go for c number of years, but no patrolman ever commanded moro respect and popularity among the rank and file than did Dick Mccarthy. Years ago, there used to be an old saying that no man could stand the pace of night patrol service with occasional day service now and then, for Q period in excess of ten years; # was then an accepted theory Of experience that on officer of the law, compelled to walk his post for ten hours straight, could not rea- sonably be expected to continue long with the Dept.
 But Dick Mccarthy broke this well-belieyed legend for no patrol- man of the past 2 years travelled c beat more constantly than he; he was always alert, active, and ready and in sight for any emerg- ency that confronted him. He never "ducked" an issue, and held his ground on every point raised.
 Fair and honest and most de- cent in bis relations toward those who might get into trouble, Dick never pulled nor threatened by the authority of tho law behind him. He counseled justly, and without bitterness or ill-feeling, under the most trying circumstances.
 Eventually, Dicks legs gave out, as they generally do with all mem- bers of the active patrol force. This present night shift we have, will never stand up, they tell, Us, on account of the dampness of the early morning, both in winter and in summer. They are young and energetic just now, but when they begin to slip, as they say, they'll be apt to find that the pen- etrating cold of early morning, even on Q day which may prove warm and sunny at noon, will have something to do with their ailment, if they really do suffer as such. But they have nothing to worry about now; they are hale and hearty, and the cold doesn't even bother them; that's why the night post does so well in It's rounds of the city.
 Dick Mccarthy patrolled every district of Waterbury. He first served under Supt Geo. M. Beach, and studied his doctrine of "beat patrol" as outlined in the daily roll-calls of the force. He worked overtime upon many occasions, as the force had to do years ago.
 The City police department loses 6 good and faithful servant in the person of Patrolman Mccarthy; he is entitled to the roll of honor on the pension list: we wish long life, and good health for him in years to come. He deserves the best.

 Catherine Y. Connor, Leavenworth high school, History to Crosby high school, history.
 Miss Connor and MT. Hoefler though brought to Waterbury from out-of- town, are considered Wa terbury teachers, supt. of Schools Thomas J. Condon said today. His statement came In answer to Q question of whether or not these two appointments were being made over the heads of more than i50 substitute teachers who are now on the waiting lists for positions in the local high schools.
 "Both Miss Connor and MT. Hoef- ler," said pr. Condon, "were edu- cated right here in Waterbury. They sought work elsewhere, but have re- mained on tho local teachers list during that time. There is no basis In the runior that out.of- towners are being given prefer cnce."
