dered Spell outside, telling him she would dress and talk the matter over with him.
 Judge Foster, in charging the jury, mentioned the defense conten- tion that Mrs. Strubling had tempt ed Spell by going into his presence from the bathroom virtually naked"
 T charge you that even if under the circumstances Mrs. Strubling used poor judgment for her own protection, such facts in themselves do not give the accused any license to have sexual intercourse with her against her will," the judge said. And that if under these circum- stances he did have sexual inter course with her against her will, he committed rape"
 The defense had contended that Mrs. Strubing could have summoned help by knocking the telephone re- ceiver from the hook during any of the alleged assaults and of that contention the judge said:
 T charge you that even if on one or more occasions Mrs. Strubing, on account of weakness or fear, con- sented to sexual intercourse and on one occasion 1t was by force, the defendant then is guilty of the crime of rape. If each time 1t was done without force on his part, even though 1t was unlawful, 1t was not rape"
 Mrs. Strubing was found at 6 c. m December II, near the reservoir wet and hysterical. Spell was at the Strubing home.

heard this evening at 9:45 o'clock with Mrs. Samuel P. Williams, chairman of the nursing committee, as the speaker.
 As the final report of team cap- tains will be made next Monday and with less than one-third of the de- sired quota of $2O,O0O realized to- day, directors of the campaign and community leaders have voiced a most earnest appeal for a generous public response. Contributions are vitally necessary if the work of the association is to continue without serious curtailment..
 "No health organization in this community is more deserving than the Visiting Nurse association, which is seeking to raise $20.OO0 for the continuance of its work" said Dr. Richard J. Hinchey, president of the Waterbury Medical society, in an interview today. "The medical profession has long recognized the necesity of services of well-trained nurses in cases of illness in the homes of those unable to pay for such service. To this end the Wa terbuy visiting nurses have filled the gap admirably. All that is nec- essary is the request from the phy- 6ician or family that such services are needed-and the response is prompt and cheerful.
 '"The visiting nurse also acts as liaison between the physician and the hospital, either during illness preceding disqualification or during convalescence. In addition, such activities as baby welfare, prenatal care, mothers clubs and nutrition clinics are sponsored by the asso- citation. Any curtailment through lack of funds would seriously pen- alize the maintenance of modern health standards currently enjoyed by Waterbury.
 T am sure that the community will respond generously to this worthy appeal, and the medical pro- fession, with public cooperation, will see this campaign over the top"

Boy Scouts Searching
 For Missing Aged Man
Francis ScaIzO, S7, Missing From Home Since Wed. nesday Morning Believed Wandering About the
 City-POIice Directing Search

Francis Scalzo, 87, of 37 Bronson street, who disappeared from his home since Wednesday morning, was still missing this morning, police headquarters reported. Scalzo was frequently reported seen in different parts of the city.
 Yesterday word was received at the police station that Scalzo was seen in the section of St. Mary's hospital, shortly after 12 a. m., on Thursday. The person who called the police said that he did not know 1t was the missing man until he read in the Democrat the informa- tion and description given of him.
 The man told the police over tel- ephone that the man sought as- sistance in directing him home, and appeared confused. Scalzo, who has 8 daughter, Mrs. Rose Caneli, said that the elderly man wears metal identification tag around his neck, and when he was told how to reach his home by the passerby, went in the direction of Crosby high school.
 Mrs. CaneIi said that the man doesn't speak very good English, and that the Identification tag has served during previous walks which he had used to guide him home, by displaying it to . pasSerby.
 Boy Scouts from Troop 16 of St. Lucy's church set out in a body of 9 this morning at o'clock to search the Lakewood section, David Babson, scout executive reported. Members of the troop assembled at St. Lucy's parish hall.
 Relatives of the family say Scal- 20 became confused so that he may have become incoherent in trying to make himself understood. It may be possible that as he showed his iden- tif1cation plate, the stranger he ac- costed may not have stopped, think ing that the man was peddling something.
 The missing man is about 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs about no pounds, and when last seen was wearing brown or dark soft hat, brown coat, dark trousers and black shoes.
 The man left home Wednesday at g a. m. and was going to barber shop to get a shave but check-up by police revealed that the man never showed up. In addition to Lieut.. Joseph Bender and Sergeant Anthony Mariani, Lieuts. William Foley and Edward McElligott were seeking the missing man yesterday afternoon.

the Visiting Nurse association, as follows:
 "No one would want to live in a community which did not have the friendly services of our visiting nurses. They go into the homes where there is illness and where the mother needs counsel regarding health. They organize clinics for the promotion of healthful habits.
 'This friendly service brings us to- gether as 8 community, and shows that we love one another. No strong man nor good woman would pass by "on the other side" if little child called for help. Our IS visit ing nurses responded to 33,703 such calls last year.
 "You and I could not do this, ex- cept through an organization. Show your interest in little children, and older persons by supporting the visiting nurses, generously. It will enrich your own life, because All that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own'."
 Howard F. Hart
 Howard P. Hart of Platt Bros. & Co.,, declared last night that the essential services of the Visiting Nurse association could continue only if the public responded gener- ously and quickly to the appeal for $20OO0 which is being made this week. He said, There has always been more work for the VIVA than it is able to do, both in caring for the sick and in teaching how to keep well. The nurse on her rounds can only keep going when we contribute toward her expense"
 Mrs. Cranes Address
 Mrs. Crane said in a radio ad- dress yesterday afternoon:
 T have been in the Visiting Nurse association in some capacity practically continuously since its inception 37 years ago, and the changes and developments down through the years, as I look back on them, to me have been so stimulating, healthy, and construc- tive. We realize now in this country, and I hope not too late, that there can be no such thing as status quo; that to be really healthy and sound physically, mentally and spiritually, we must continually grow, continually change and that everything that is really worth while in life has to be worked for with all our hearts, all our minds, all our souls.
 Sacrifices Must Be Made"
 "There never was and never can be in a healthy world an easy way. This goes for all of us-sacrif1ceS must be made, and real flesh and blood work must be put into every thing worth while doing. Sometimes in the confusion it is hard to know how to put first things first, but I am sure you will all agree with me that the Waterbury Visiting Nurse association is first.
 Therefore, before the final lunch con meeting next Monday, February 3, won't you all, if you haven't done so, show your interest and support in the Visiting Nurse association by sending in your pledge or your con- tribution, no matter how small to the V. N. A. office, 37 Central ave- nue? There may be many who might wait for a canvasser to call, but in this particular season, when there is so much Hines and poor weather, our army of workers has been re- duced nearly in half, and therefore it is more than possible that many of you may never be reached by a canvasser. So don't wait. In or- der to wind up the drive, if no one has called upon you, send in your money anyway"

ACTUAL TRIAL ON
 METERS DESIRED
Legality of Ordinance to Be Fully Tested During
 Present Month

The parking meters legality test, scheduled for a hearing yesterday morning before Common Pleas Judge John F. McDonough, was de- ferred to trial day some time late in February, according to arrange ments made by Former States Att torney Lawrence L. Lewis.
 MT. Lewis, in a statement to the press, said his client, John F. Cas- sidy, would not press the temporary injunction to force the city to re- frain from setting up any further parking meters in Waterbury.
 we think" said Lewis, "it will be best to try the case on its merits at the actual trial for damages and 8 permanent injunction" Damages of 5000 are also asked in the writ filed January 13.
 For some time previous to the civil action filed by Cassidy, charges and threats were issued by the Wa terbury attorney. Demands to re- move the meters from in front of his properties on Leavenworth and Will low streets were made under threat to pull them up and ship them back to the Rhodes Company, makers of the meters. Cassidy asked for a share of rental privileges, claiming that as taxpayer, he was entitled to share in the profits from the parking gadgets.
 Of interest here is the recent rul- ing handed down in the Danbury parking meter legality test in which Superior Court Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan ruled in favor of the city, stating the streets are under the city's jurisdiction and that the city therefore has the right to install meters.
 The city of Waterbury will be fep- resented by Corp. Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch. --
