CONFERENCE ON
 REMOVAL PLAN
Mayors Committee to Meet With Members of
 Community Clubs

Representatives of various com munity clubs in this city will con- fer with the special committee on rubbish removal, named by Mayor Vincent Sculfy last fall, in a meet ing scheduled to be held in the City Hall tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
 Last year the majority of local community clubs went on record as favoring some sort of 8 system of municipal collection of ashes, rub btsh, as well as garbage removal. Through their efforts the matter was brought before the Board of Aldermen and a special committee named to study the advisability of such plan for Waterbury.
 The committee has held several meetings and is believed ready to submit a report to the Aldermen. Tonight's session will probably be its final one before an executive meeting at which it's report will be prepared.
 Unofficlally the special commit tee is understood to favor some sort of increased efforts to prevent rub bish being scattered throughout the city on private property, but the cost of establishing a municipal col- lection system, as well as other fea- lures of 1t, are understood to have decided the committee against rec- ommending adoption of the same.

of the unit members were playing baseball, others. doing some odd chores, and many who volunteered constructed a brick sidewalk with the letter "G' in the center of the walk. This was done in front of the barracks, under the capable direc- ton of Sergeant Anthony Fibre, whose assistants were: Private Jo- seph Ciaccio, Private Clayton Ko- macki, Private first class Frank Cip- riano, Private Charles Stankus and Corporal Francis B. Ashe.
 Battery. G and the 2Oeth. regiment came in for @ motherly boast when Mrs. Henry Drolet of E Liberty street visited her son, Private Rene Dro1et. After an inspection tour of the barracks, day room, recreational halls, movie house and the mess kitchen, Mrs. Drolet summed it up as only a mother could by remark ing: "You know, Rene, was quite worried about you, since you left, but after seeing all this, I can see that I have no more reasons to wor- ry."
 Another charming visitor was Ar line Humiston of Watertown Con- necticut, who, with her mother were guests of Mess Sergeant Henry Cloutier of Battery G. .... Sergeant Stanley Poskavage of Naugatuck, Conn.,, has taken over the duties of supply sergeant, re- lievi1g Sergeant Robert Miller, who has left for the coast artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va.
 Members of Battery c are plan ming to organize an orchestra of their own. It was suddenly discover ed that among the personnel there was much hidden musical talent: Staff Sergeant Philip Martino, the Oakville lad who strums a hot ban jo; Henry Trepanier, the wizard of the accordion, Fausto Grassi, the lad with the romantic guitar, Ser geant Dick Kreidel, of Honolulu fame, who beats out tune ala Gene Krupa on the drums. Now all that is needed are few trombone players and 1t won't be long before some hot delightful tunes will fly forth from the barracks of Battery c to the de- light i've hopeD of the reighbors.
 Deep appreciation is expressed from all members of Battery G to the mother of Private First Class Francis Grove, for her presentation of a basketball to the playing team of which Private Grove is a men- Der.
 A dance hall that is very popular with the soldiers is the Roseland Ballroom, in Taunton, Mass, that features name bands. In honor of the soldiers Monday evening the management staged balloon dance and wild excitement prevailed throughout.
 A dance that is very popular here is the Boopsy-Daisy, which is a riot of laughs. It was first introduced in the musical comedy "Hellz-a-pop- pin" in New York City. It is expect ed that Gene Krupa will appear at the Roseland Monday evening and many of the soldiers are planning to see the King of Drummers" in action!-Faniglietti.

Firemen and policemen are not indispensable and should not be granted defermerlt from compulsory military service argued speakers representing St. Joseph's c. Y. O.. chapter last evening before an au- dience of 300 in the basement of the church of the Immaculate Concep- ton. It would create class distinc- ton and national discontent at @ time when national unity is essen- tial. It would be contrary to the principles of democracy, for all men should be treated equal, the afarma- tive side maintained.
 The arguments offered by St. Jo- seph's speakers were sufficient to win the unanimous decision of the judges. The c. Y. O. unit of the Immaculate Conception church maintained that experienced police men were essential to the mainte- nance of peace in communities dur ing unsettled times, in comba tting saboteurs and fifth columnists" and giving the public confidence that their lives and properties are being safeguarded. Trained flremen and policemen cannot be replaced even Chiefs Interviewed
 It developed during the course of by the best-meaning volunteers. the debates that representatives from both sides had contacted Fire Chief Thomas Cavanaugh and Po- lice Chief William J. Roach as to the number of men in each depart ment, how many were married and how many would be subject to a call to the colors under the opera tion of the selective service law. One fireman and not more than ten policemen were classified as being eligible"
 Praise for ability of draft board officials to handle cases and to de- eide on whether a cop or fire fighter was more essential to l1a- tional defense or his department was voiced by the speakers.
 The debate was one of the most interesting of the current tourna- rllent. St. JoSeph's team enters the finals as a result of its victory last evening.
 Speakers for the winning team were Frances Elinkas, Edmund Jenusaitis and Josephine Brazis, with Edward ShambariS as alter nate. For the Immaculate Concep- ton, Ann Wethered, Elizabeth Donahue and Margaret Reidy, with Francis Kelly as alternate.
 Officiating Judges
 The judges were Alderman Henry Minnicucci, Commissioner John J. Kearney of the board of education, and Homer R. Bernier, president of the French American Republican club. State c. Y. o. President Pat rick J. Wallace officiated as time.

SECOND PENSION
 BILL WITHDRAWN
Mistake Detected in State Legislature; Standard
 Plan for Insurance

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, March 27 A bill calling for a pension to be paid Mrs. Margaret Luddy of Wat erbury is expected to be withdrawn shortly, according to information The Democrat gathered at the Capitol today. The bill, 1t was learned, was introduced by mistake.
 A pension bill for Mrs. Mary E.. Luddy, mother of the late Patrol man Edward Luddy, however, will be passed by the Legislature at this term, having already been given a favorable committee report. The two Luddy pension bills were both reported upon favorably and 1t was the coincidence of two similar names that finally revealed that one was a legitimate claim and the other had been filed under the im- precision that 1t was for the same person.
 Investigation showed that the pension bill should have been in- troduced in the name of Mrs. Mary E. Luddy.
 In the Senate, though, today starred for action on its calendar, was the bill granting a pension to Mrs. Margaret L. Luddy of Water bury. It will probably be necessary for the City of Waterbury to ap- pear at Hartford to explain the con- fusion and to request that the lat ter pension bill be thrown out as a duplication.
 Fire Insurance
 In an effort to provide a constant and standard form of fire insurance protection for State of Connecticut property Controller John M. Dove and Guy Beardsley, vice president of the Aetna Fire, representing seven Connecticut fire insurance firms, are working out such a plan.
 The state controller seeks a plan that will have a constant annual cost; provide complete coverage with a minimum cost to the state; satisfy the citizens of the state by the completeness of the program of coverage; provide a model for fu- ture state officials to follow in plac- ing state insurance.
 Liability on state property, &C., cording to Controller Dove. amounts to about $56, ,919. 900 of which $l, ,250,- 900 is auto fire risk. Right now the state is paying for 423 policies, ma- turity dates running from one to five years. This necessitates a dif- ferent appropriation for premiums every year. involving as this does continuous explanation to the state board of finance and control of such shifts for insurance appropriations. To correct such a situation the present survey is being made with the intention of providing a sim plified form of protection.

 Three months have flown of the calendar since the Waterbury bat teries E and c have been in the service of the Army of the United States. Decided changes have come over both batteries. Being the ba- bies of the outfit, they had plenty of learning to do and since their train- ing period they have developed in- to first class soldiers. Another fact that can be credited for the excel- lent training the men are receiving Is due to the swell efficiency on the part of the 208th staff of officers.
