The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-14

Traffic on Baldwin street at the corner of Liberty street was at stand-Still for more than an hour yesterday afternoon when 8 huge truck and trailer of the Roger Sherman Construction Company stalled directly across the intersec- ton. A intuition digger was being hauled on the trailer.
 Police, who re-routed traffic, re- ported that the driver of the truck stalled the engine while turning right on Baldwin street, after hav- ing come up Liberty street. The starter jammed and 1t was neces- Sary to make repairs before the motor could be turned over again.
 BuSseS and trucks which have been using Baldwin street as a de- tour route to and from Naugatuck because of the repair project now underway on the Waterbury-Nau- gatuck road were forced to wait, although some turned about and made new detourS.
 The Earbenders will play their regular card game at the Washing ton Park Community House tomor- row evening. President Tom Con- way announced last week, that he thought this week might finish up the tournament, but as he wasn't certain at that time, perhaps by tomorrow evening the club will make final decision. Members are look ing around for a new picnic grounds to hold their annual party at the close of the season = which usually takes place in June. The new de- fense housing project, has of course, spoiled the old familiar spot which all the Earbenders have known for so many years. But of course time makes many changes, and hope the Earbenders will find new place, just as convenient and where they will have as many good times, as they enjoyed in the ''old spot"
