PRIVATE LAND
 OFFERS ASKED
Public Dump Needed by BofOugh-Paid Bremen
 Matter Tabled

Naugatuck, Aug. 5.-The borough is willing to receive any offers for free use of private land as public dunN 1t was announced at the bor- ough board meeting last night. The present dump at Cherry street ex- tention is virtually filled up now. The town doesn't want to buy any land for this purpose, but If some body who wants their land filled in will offer the use of 1t for dump, 1t would be welcome offer to the borough. .....,
 Burgess Rudolph A II d r o n brought up the question of residents taking ashes to the present dump after 2:3O D. n1., which had been designated as the deadline. He pointed out many residents work until 3 p. m. or 5 p. m. and there fore can't get to the dump in time.
 Warden Brophy said that papers or combuStible materials cannot he brought to the dump after p. m. because it might cause 8 fire hazard for the new synthetic rubber plant. But he feels that it will be per- missible for persons to bring ashes to the dump before dark, and in- dicated arrangements to permit this will be made with the Naugatuck Chemical company.
 Burgess J. Francis Cullen asked whether the board thought 1t might be advisable to change the location of 8 stop sign near the intersection of Spencer street and Cherry street extension now. This sign now halts traffic on Cherry st. extension and in view of the fact that consider able traffic is likely there after the synthetic rubber plant gets in full swing, the transfer was suggested. The matter was referred to Police Chief John J. Gormley for tnvesti- gation and report.
 No action on appointment of 8 paid fireman, and on appointment of 8 new member of the welfare board, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Howard Ander- son, was taken. The fire commit tee of the board did not report on the question of night guard at the hrehouse, although a report had been promised for the meeting. There was no report from the com- mittee investigating a request for a traffic light on Maple street which request was made by the U. s. Rub- Der company. The session did not start until 9:30.

 Ond Senior Burgess

Naugatuck, Aug. 5.-J. Francis Cullen, new first ward Democratic burgess, was elected second senior burgess by a one-vote margin at the meeting of the board of war den and burgesses last night. The meeting lasted a trifle less than one hour and comparatively little action was taken.

The ballot on the second senior burgess post, to which the charter required Democrat be named in this case, showed three votes for Mir. Cullen, two for Bur- gess Andrew OToole, second ward Democratic burgess, and one vote blank. This was MT. CullenS first meeting as a burgess, he having suc- ceeded Joseph Dinneny. who re- signed after entering the U. s. navy.
 MT. Cullen was also appointed to the following committees: finance, street, being named chairman of the first two committees.
 The board voted to rescind a vote of last months meeting authoriz- ing the warden to sign a contract for garbage collection with Harold Edwards of Wolcott if MT. Ed wards posted bond. MT. Edwards

THIS AND THAT
By Charles r. Trdcesreu.

The towhee. or chewink, or ground
robin. has been noticeahly absent from
our own yard.
In the past we have had one all winter.
II was q male The female evidently
does not remain North.
Last summer pair OF them came,
accompanied-by three young.
They had an interesting habit OF lying
on one side in the sun and stretching out
the top wing and leg.
This gave them the appearance OF
being either dead or dying,
We know Of no other bird which has
this precise habit In this exact way
Several species OF birds fake a wounded
wing, in order to draw predatory ami
mails away from the nest or the young
They will fiutter down TO the ground
and trail . wing. hoping TO distract the
attention of the maurauder. And the
trick often works.
The wood thrush ought TO be coming
in almost any day, now.
This is the best of all possible birds, we
think
In appearance. manners and song 1t
tops the list as far as we are concerned
This column has often said, and still
believes. that no other bird has such
courtly manners. In the real sense OF
the word.
Just how a bird got the idea Of grace
Of conduct, as q thing in itself, we do
httt -
right.
II you live in the suburbs, watch out
for this.
Seeing is believing, indeed, when 1t
comes to the birds
Here is one bird about which hearing
also is believing. in q sense, for, COM
bined with its fine manners, its genu-
inely gentlemanly bearing, and Its beau
tiful appearance and song the thrush
stands as tops" in the local bird world.
Usually this species arrives In the oaks
along our street on or about April 2s.
Some seasons 1t Is two weeks or n week
earlier. Always 1t shows up In the block
to the west few days before it appears
In our block.
Already we have received one report Of
wood thrush arrival. Sometimes watch
ers mistake brown thrashers for thrnshes.
The thrasher is twice as large.
1t might be possible that a solitary
wood thrush would arrive in some COM
munity long before its comrades would
put in appearance.
Sometimes storms down South force
the birds to leave early. and they appear
here in isolated instances ahead of their
schedule.
1t would be good thing to keep watch
for them from April II onward.
