The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-10

Practically every Jewish family in Waterbury has been made recipient of copy of the Beth Israel Year Book, dedicated to Rosh Hashonah, and compiled through the untiring efforts of Rabbi Max Glitter and Maurice Gelmar, vice-president of the synagogue.
 A histroy of the synagogue fea- utres the early pages of the Year Book. It is from the pen of Mir. GelInaI1 and follows:
 Thus, wherever a new Jewish set- clement came into being, the syna- gogue was the very first institution to be organized.
 So, too, it was, doubtless, in Wa terbury when Jewish life was first organized here.
 At first, services were held in the Grand Army Hall, on East Main Street. In the year 1900, however, Congregation Agudath AchimY es- tablished itself in its own home on Canal Street, which, together with Chatfield Street, constituted the Jewish colony of Waterbury. Later, a new organization, chartered as '"The Waterbury Hebrew School" !" took over the building, and it be- came the home of both the syna- gogue and the Talmud Torah.
 As the Jewish population of the city grew, the attendance and activi- ties of the two institutions also in- creased, and the building could no longer house both. The Waterbury Hebrew School, in 1905, purchased site on Kingsbury Street and built a synagogue, which was deeded to the newly formed Beth Israel Sym agogue." It was dedicated in 1907. The Talmud Torah remained on Canal Street until 1911, when it be- came necessary to close 1t because of financial strain, resulting from the building of the synagogue.
 But in, 1912, Rabbi D. B. Swiren, spiritual leader of Beth Israel was instrumental in forming new com- mittee for the purpose of building the Waterbury Hebrew Institute on Kingsbury street and reopening the

NeuU Marine Head
 Likes Waterbury


 After 90 years of wandering about the world as a Marine Master Sergt. Percy Webb came to Waterbury and picked the city as the ideal place to settle down and have a home. He tells his newly made friends here he likes the air, the Green, the people, the cops, the move ment at Exchange place, and that he has never had the feel ing of home that the fair city of Waterbury gives him. He came to his adopted "hOme- town" several weeks ago with his wife to visit relatives and suddenly decided to stay.
 Sergt. Webb has been con- nected with the public rela- tiOns office of the Marine Corps for some time. He also has been on active duty in the Philippines and many other far distant points.

Dog For Rent,
Behind that sign in the yard
of Allen Fisher of West Gardiner,
Maine, is the story of pooch
who has earned more than $4,000
in his IL years of life simply by
being rented out"
The dog, Pat by name, is
known throughout all New Eng
land as the best canine cattle
hunter in the business. Rounding
up stock which have gone wild,
who refuse to be caught, and

usual dog has rounded up no less
than 500 cattle. -
Pat has no pedigree. He is a
cross between a Dobermann-Pin-
Ger and bulldog-apparently a
remarkable canine combination
for the work he has to do, be-
cause not only does he have the
fight and tenacity of a bulldog,
but the reasoning and cleverness
of a Dobermann.
When a call for Pats services
comes, Fisher and the dog pile
in the car. Sometimes they drive

the fame of this for rent" pooch
spread.
Once on the scene, Pat is
turned loose in the pasture where
the recalcitrant COW or bull is at
bay. He first tries TO drive the
animal up to the point where
Fisher and the owner are. If the
animal refuses the dog runs
around in front and makes leap
grabbing II by the cartilage on
it's nose. That holds the animal
until Fisher can come up with
rope and complete the job.

Where Livestock
Lives on Bananas

If YOU were TO ask any Amer
lean farmer what would hap
] pen If he took his horses off
their usual diet Of oats, and fed
them nothing but bananas, the
chances are that he'd predict the
worst.
But that's where he'd be wrong
for Old Dobbin-after he got
used to it-would thrive just as
well on an exclusive banana diet.
The proof of this is found in
Ecuador, where hay. oats, and
edible grass are not readily avail
able-but where horses, mules.
and even cows, get along very
well on the yellow fruit
In this South American repub-
lie, banana trees grow rapidly.
That's why the fruit has become
popular as a stock feed In
Ecuador, horses and cattle live
out their lives without knowing
what grain is and they seem to
be husky and strong.
