MAYOR AWAITING FORMAL REQUEST
Governor Expected to Take Initiative in Filling
 Draft Board Vacancies

Mayor Vincent A. Scully has not yet been asked by Governor Robert A. Hurley or by state 6elective Serv- ice officials to recommend a new member of Board 16-B to replace Anthony Schiavone, city hall sources said today. The place has been va cant since removal of MT. Schiavone was ordered by Brigadier- General Lewis B. Hershey national director of Selective Service.
 The same holds true for appoint ment of a successor to Attorney Hugo Guastaferri as a member Of the advisory board for 16-B.
 Delay in filling the two vacancies Is not the fault of city officials, 1t was said, and the mayor is ready to recommend appointees as soon as he Is asked. The normal procedure is for the governor to ask the mayor for recommendations and these are then transmitted to state headquar- ters for approval, All those recom- mended by the mayor in the past have been appointed.
 Mir SchiaVone and Mir. Guasta- ferri were removed from their board posts after charges that the latter had sought payment from Selective Service eligibles who went to him for advice. He claimed hat Mir Schiavone had told him he had a letter authorizing charging of fees. The cases are still under federal in vestigation.

Moreover, they say. 70 per cent of the girls and 60 per cent of the boys who finished grade school at age Is will survive their graduation by half century. The statisticians make no claims to gifts of prophecy or divination but base their conclusions on a scientific formula by which they figure out the chances in 100 that 8 person In good health and Of specified age will have of surviving of any stated duration according to present-day health standards"
 For example, any person, who undertakes a venture which Is to be completed within five years is almost certain to see 1t through, the Etatisticians explain, because. for the average person, the chances of surviing through the five-year period are very good under present health condition. The chances are better than nine in 10 for men anywhere up to age S6, and for

(women up to age 60. For a 10syear enterprise. the chances of surviving are at least nine in 10 for Q man under 45 years of age and for a woman under 49.
 When it comes to living quar- of century longer. the chances of white male of 20 are nine in 10: at age 30. they are five in six; at 40 they are two in three and even at age 50. the statisti- clans declare, the chances are as high as two in five.
 For the typical mother, whose average age at the birth of her child is 28, the chances are prac- tically one in three of being alive when her child attains 50, while those of the average father, age 32, are only one in five.
 As for the saying that life be- gins at 4O," the statisticians re- mark that while this may be true in a certain sense, "only 3 per cent of the men of that age and be- tween 4 and per cent of the women will live 50 years further"
 The chances of survival discuss ed by the statisicians, they point out, are based on the average Of mortality conditions in the whole country.

ish and the assignment of Father German was formally announced today by Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese, and published in the cur- rent issue of the Catholic Tran script. The appointment becomes effective Monday, August 3l.
 Father German is native of Waterbury. He was born November 20, 1900. He attended public and parochial schools in Waterbury, was graduated from Crosby High School there. and studied for two years at St. Thomas Seminary. His philosophical and theological courses were made at St. Bernard's Semi nary. Rochester. The late Bishop Milan ordained him at St. Joseph's Cathedral on May 29, 1926. His only appointment, until being made pastor of the new parish, was that of assistant at St. Thomas the Apostle Church.
 Property for the parish church has been purchased on South Quaker Lane; 1t is former north ern section of the grounds of St. Augustine's Novitiate. A tempo rary church will be erected. It will seat about 300 and should be ready for use early next month. A house on Wilfred street has been purchased to serve as rectory.
 St. Thomas parish was estab- lished 9 years ago. The Catholic Church in Connecticut says of St. Thomas parish that "the first Mass was celebrated one week after the formation of the new parish. Rev. John F. Callahan was able to start services so quickly after his appointment be- cause he had received his church by parcel post" The first off, spring of the original West Hart ford parish will also begin with a portable church not far from where its parent began.
