Town Hall Janitor's
 Job Most Hazardous
Task of Lowering or Removing Flag Would Tax Skill of Mountain Goat, Claims Scribe After Personal Tour

Naugatuck, March 11-To be jani- tor of the town hall, you must have had little training in mountain climbing, or so 1t would seem, the Democrat learned yesterday. The reason for this is that one of the duties of the janitor Is to lower, and if necessary, remove the flag at the town hall and, believe 1t or not, this job would tax the skill of the moun- tain goat, which is well known for its sure-footedness. It is 8 job which must have gotten the jani- tors goat.
 The welfare board discussed a new arm for the flag to make 1t less diff f1cult to reach, at the meeting Mon- day night. At this time Howard Anderson, board member, indicated 1t was not very patriotic to permit the flag to be ripped and torn by the clements and hinted at the idea of lowering the flag daily. He sug- gested that boys be secured to do this instead of the janitor, but Supt. Leo Scully firmly opposed this suggestion on the grounds it would be too dangerous for the youths.
 And after a tour under the per- sonal guidance of Supt. Leo Scully the Democrat reporter feels that tc label 1t hazardous is considerable understatement.

BOROUGH TEAM
 "CIAN'T KILLERS
Borough Boys in Semi Finals of Hoop Tourney
 Tomorrow Night

Naugatuck, March il. - Pete Foley's Naugatuck high basketball tourney, which has been the Sur- prise of the Class A state hoop tour ney, will again essay the role of Jack, the Giant Killer" when 1t faces Warren Harding high of Bridgeport tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at the New Haven arena.
 Local fans will swarm to the Arena to see the Garnet in this semi- final game but there is no doubt that Harding should be con- Sidered the favorite. Harding edged Naugatuck here early in the season by two points and won in Bridge port by eight points. It has a for- midable array and the Foleymen, who are now playing as a team and as a result playing much-improved ball, will have at least to equal their play of last Friday night when they edged the tourney favorite, Central high, of Bridgeport by one point.
 Coach Foley will have the job of getting his team in the same won't be-beaten shape that they had in facing Central and this will be d6- ficult as a let-down often follows an upset victory such as the Gen. tral game.
 Crosby seems the choice over Meriden and if Naugatuck last rated in the tournament should de- feat Harding the finals should be 8 memorable battle for Naugatuck and Crosby are traditional foes and each holds victory over the other this season.

[ where one must stand to lower or detach the flag are 10 floors, MT Scully said, and there is no doubt that 1t is 10 different levels, seven of which are reached by narrow and somewhat rickety ladders, which seem extremely precarious when one climbs up them.
 There is just one room for 8 thin person to squeeze through some of the openings onto various levels. AS one goes up, he is certain that each ladder is the last one, but there is what seems almost an endless chain.
 And when one does get up on the top level and looks down, he gets good idea of how the parachute jumper must feel as he makes his first leap. It doesn't seem very high looking up from the ground, but with the wind blowing at the top and even clinging to the sturdy pole, one feels 1t is long, long way to the bottom.
 Getting down is almost as difficult as getting up. This ascent yesterday was made in good weather, but the janitor often has to scale the lad ders in icy or snowy weather. Some of the ladders are exposed and ice forms on them, making 1t real risk to life and limb of anyone trying to climb them.
 Four flags have been damaged by the elements this year at the town hall, but after his trip to the top yesterday, it seems to his reporter very fortunate that nobody has been injured in the ascent.
