DEFENDANT WINS JUDGES RULING
Waterbury Man Sought Damages of $IO,OOO for
 Injuries in Fall

Judge Joseph F. Klau today re- turned decision for the defen- dant in the $lo00O damage suit brought by Alexander zadornesky of Waterbury against A. s. Peck of Cheshire. The plaintiff claimed he fell through the floor of a barn owned by the defendant in Chesh- ire June 24, 1899 sustaining per- manent injuries to his back and lungs. The accident occurred while he was employed by two neighbors of the defendant. John Johnowitz and Henry Siwinsky, in cutting and loading hay. The case was heard at the spring session of common pleas court.
 The jurist ruled that the employ CTS were gratuitious licensees of the defendant in that Miss Peck re- ceived no benefit from allowing them the use of her barn or per- mission to cut hay on her grounds, and for that reason she could not be held responsible for any injuries that may result from the use. He stated that the injuries did not re- suit from any act of negligence on the part of the defendant who had not used the barn or seen the de- fective condition of the floor for many years. The attendant will
 be allowed to recover her costs.

PROBATION TERM
 GRANTED CENOVA
America Street Youth Told to Reposses Watch; Be-
 longed to Caesar Pinto

Three months probation was or dered by Judge John L. Gaffncy in municipal court today for Michael Geneva, IT, of 29 America street on a charge of breaking and enter ing. The youth was ordered to re- possess and return to its owner watch he allegedly took from the house of Caeser Pinto, 29 America street, and pawned for SIP.
 Frank Pinto, 26, of 29 America street said that two watches, one owned by his father and another owned by his mother were taken from the house last month. We figured 1t would be good psychology to let the neighborhood think we were blaming my young brother Emilio and that he was going to bo sent to reform schpol if they weren't ie urned" he told Judge Gaffney.

residing within 1t.
 The school was closed by order of the Board of Education when the number of pupils had dropped as low as seven or eight attending the four grades which were maintained. The school closed at the end of 1888, pu- pills being transferred to Russell School when sessions commenced after the Christmas holiday.
 The last graduating class at the Oronoke School was in 1886. The following fall only the lower four grades of the school were maintained with one teacher in charge. Pupils in the upper grades attended Rus sell School. By 1888 attendance had dropped to about dozen pupils, this number being reduced by re- movals during the fall session.
 One unofficial tally of present school children in the district es- timated more than thirty now resi- dents there.
 Incidentally, 1t has been pointed out that should at least one of the many housing projects now being planned for the city be completed it might add materially to the num- Der of school children in the area. This would be the housing project planned for the end of Clough Road near its intersection with Park Road. The obvious purpose of such a settlement would be to provide homes for employees of the new Clock Shop building, just completed this week.
 The Clough Road project is still undecided due to the fact that it would be necessary to bring the city's water mains great distance in order to service the same and cost of the same would be high, as well as there being difficulty in pro- curing necessary materials for in- stallation.
 But 1t is believed by residents of the district that It's school age pop ulation will probably increase now for good many years to come and the need of school facilities grow approximately.
 The building, a brick structure, was erected in 1924 and contains two schoolrooms, and two smaller rooms.

The mayor agreed to hold up ac- ton to allow the CIO group an op- portunity to confer with the ordnance committee of the board of aldermen on a possible change in the section to which the labor men object The committee consists of Aldermen Patrick Shea, Daniel J. Driscoll and Burton H. Walker.
 The union spokesman at confer- ence in the City Hall, said they were strongly in favor of the ordnance in general and it's purposes. They said they were opposed to unneces- sary noise and that the noise ban would help their members who are on night shifts and must sleep dur- ing the day.
 Their objection, they said, was to the section of the ordnance requir- ing a fee of $5 a day for a permit to operate sound truck for poliit- cal or other purposes in the public interest. This rule, they said, would place an unfair burden on labor or- ganizations which use sound appar- atus. Their use of sound trucks, they said, is principally at factory gates.
 The union committee which met with the mayor consisted of John J. Driscoll, international represen- tative of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union; Al Skinner, direc- tor of the union membership drive at the Scovill Manufacturing Com pany; Don Harris, internationa. representative; Lester Wright, trus- tee of Local 25l; Samuel Cipriano, organizer; Lowell Hollenbbeck, in- ternational representative; and Bronis Vaiciulis, chairman of the Oakville Company unit of Local 25l

He claimed he sus- tained permanent loss of use of his left hand and severe injuries to his right hand.
 In the memorandum of decision Judge Klau states there is no in dication that the jury arrived at it's conclusion without reasonable consideration of evidence, and that though the amount of dam ages granted is large it is not so excessive as to constitute an in justice.

He states "An additional competitor might so affect the business of places now operating that their profits would be reduced that they would be tempted to resort to illegal sales i'm order to survive"

THE BEST OF FOOD

Somone in KenneWick remarked
that he couldn't see why there
would be a food shortage since after
all we were still feeding the same
number of mouths even though
many of them were in training
camps instead of around the family
dining table. There is this answer.
The American soldier is receiving
more nutritional value in his food
than any other soldier in the world.
Most soldiers will tell you that their
food is good and many will acknoW-
ledge that it is better than they
were eating at home. They are not
only receiving better food in many
cases, but are getting more of it,!
The kitchens which feed our selec-
tees watch the menu with regard to
improving the physical condition of
the men. They go into the subject
of scientifically balanced meals that
deal with vitamins, using body
building minerals and proteins, pep
producing carbohydrates and fats.
This wise feeding is producing re-
suits in proportion to the efforts ex-
pended.
