EDITH F|NEGAN
 CLAIMS $15,OOO
Train Fatality in Berlin in 194l Basis of Superior
 Court Action

Fatal injuries sustained by John V. Finegan october 16, 1941, in Berlin are the basis of 8 $l5.O0O damage suit which will be filed in superior court by the adn1inistra- trix of his estate, Edith Finegan of New York City. The trustees of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company will be named defendants. Attorney Ed- ward Mascolo is appearing for the plaintiff.
 According to the complaint MT. Finegan was walking along 8 rail- road track in Berlin when he saw a train approach and stepped off onto another track. Immediately after, it continues, a train came along that track and, before he could step off, in his bewilderment he either slipped or fell and was struck by the train. It is alleged the train was speeding and no proper lookout was kept. The two tracks were said to be parallel.
 Workers of a railroad commiSsary nearby, where MT. Finegan was employed, had to use the railroad property to get to and from their place of work, the complaint states, and the company was aware of their use of the tracks. It Is further pointed out that two other fatalities occurred on the tracks in similar circumstances.

Death yesterday claimed George A. Goss, 61, of Middlebury, vice. president and director of the Scovtll Mig. Go. and brother of John H. Goss, president and general man. ager. He had been in retirement for the past 13 years because of ill health.

of the volunteers are forced to re- move too much scrap from attics and cellars instead of merely gath> ering 1t from the sidewalks, the en- tire collection plan will be delayed, perhaps making it impossible to gather all the scrap. Therefore, the authorities of the drive are re- questing everyone to place the scrap on their sidewalks as early as pos sible in order to make for the most efficient collection. If the house. holders of this city cooperate as well as the merchants did yesterday, the drive is certain of success.
 Over TOO tons of scrap metal must be collected on Saturday if Waterbury is to meet its quota in the nationwide collection. During the August scrap collection BOT tons of metal was gathered in this city, about 250 tons being taken in on the first day of the drive.
 The Civilian Defense office is being flooded with telephone calls regarding scrap collection, Miss Nancy Delaney stated this morn ing. Householders are reporting 8 great deal of scrap in their attics and cellars that is too heavy to be removed without extra help. Miss Delaney also stated that a great many cars are being turned in for the drive.
 Big Profits Impossible
 MT. Upson has acclaimed those that are unwilling to aid in the scrap campaign because they feel that the junk dealers are going to make large profit on the metal. He said that the profit is im- material as long as the soldiers ob- tain the equipment which they must have to carry on this war. Un- less vast amount of metal is col- lected, production in the steel mills will fall disastrously this winter. MT. zusman stated that 1t is inn possible to make a profit on the metal because of the great expense involved in handling it. The scrap must first be sorted and broken up before it can be sold by the junk dealers, thus taking the profit out of its handling.

|WE|DORN NAMED. l.. H. s. DIRECTOR
New AppOintee to Super wise Physical Education
 Transfers Approved

Frederick F. Wiedorn, teacher of German and science at Wilby High school, will be transferred to Leavenwortt High school as 8 physical education instructor, ac- cording to an announcement made at meeting of the board of edu- cation last night.
 Other transfers were approved by the board as follows: Kathleen M. to English ct Crosby; Mary c. Ryan from kindergarten head at Barnard school to kindergarten head at Duggan and Barnard: May L. Bowling, from kindergarten head at Hendricken and Abbott schools to kindergarten head at Washington and Wilson schools; Mary E. Kennedy from Kindergarten head at Washington and Wilson schools to kindergarten head at Washington and Mulcahy schools; Vera Crane from Kindergarten head at Sprague school to Kindergarten head at Abbott and Sprague schools.
 A motion was made last night by Commissioner John J. Kearney that the committee on rules set $27 as a starting pay for school janitors. He pointed to the difficulty of hold ing a man at the pay of $24.50, set for the first there months of em- ployment and said the building su- perintendent should be empowered to recommend the higher payment in cases where he saw fit.
 No discussion was conducted by the board on the question of gen. eral pay raise for school department employees, but members are expected to appear before the board of ft- nance to recommend an increase.
 The board was informed last night in a communication from the corporation counsel that the school department is protected from pos sible loss regarding the coal stored by the Massimo Coal Co. Delivery of a large supply of the fuel was impossible because of lack of space in the schools and the opinion of the corporation counsel was asked concerning loss before delivery. A bond has been furnished by the coal company and it also has insurance against fire and theft, the board was informed.
 Transfers of appropriations were approved as follows: $500 from re- pairs to buildings to item on plumbing, heating and steamfitting supplies; $9O from rent of Lincoln school to $26 for medical supplies and $64 for salaries of cook and helper at Open Air school; $500 from general plant equipment to of- flee supplies and expenses.

 Tn order to handle the great mass of metal, permission has been ob- lained to used property adjoining the depot. zusnan stated that the scrap is very hard to handle and will take some time to remove be- cause of the enormous sorting prob lem that is involved. He said that 'everything under the sun" is be- ing turned in for scrap. "There isn't thing made that isn't coming in, and many of the articles that are being donated have not been manufactured in many years, Zus- man added.
 Space Needed
 Zusman reported that the scrap is taking up much more room than would ordinarily be the case be- cause of the use of dump trucks in collecting it. In unloading, the dump trucks spread the scrap out instead of piling it up.
 J. Warren UpSon, chairman or the local salvage committee, Dep- uty Sheriff Albert Francis, of ficial weighmaster at the scrap de- bot, and Raymond J. Tanning, di- rector of the scrap drive, were sur- prised and pleased at the splendid cooperation which the local mer- chants have shown in the scrap campaign.
 The merchants put the scrap out on the sidewalks early in the morning, making it easier for the few workers to collect as much as possible. Police stated that they had no trouble in regulating traf- fic at points where the scrap piles overfloWed onto the street because everyone cooperated with the drive.
 The scrap collection yesterday showed the necessity of having a great number of volunteers to aid In gathering the metal on Saturday the day of the main collection Those who wish to aid all or part of the day may register at the Civilian Defense office on Church street by calling 4-09O9. Plans are being made to divide the city into 60 districts fo1 the collection. Cards collected by the Junior Commandos showing the location of scrap will be given to the trucks covering the particular dis trict to make certain that no home is missed. Approximately 100 trucks will be needed for the Saturday collection since many of them will spend most of the day cleaning ur the numerous scrap depots through out the city.

The selectmen of Thomaston have called a special town meeting to be held on Tuesday evening, October goth, for the purpose of removing the town from the embarrassing po- sition in which 1t has found itself since the annual town meeting. With less than 54 people present, a vote was passed against the town investing the $6,000 sinking fund in national defense, either through the investment of war bonds or govern ment bonds.
 The action of this handful of peo- pie aroused the taxpayers of the town as no other official action has aroused them in years. Wherever people gather the subject of their conversations are ''What is wrong with Tnomaston"? "Why don't all of our people support our all-out war efforts?
 The agitation for the special town meeting has been terrific, citizens have been quick to realize the &C., ton of the meeting in refusing to participate In our war efforts has placed a smear against the good name of Thomaston.

CAUSE OF CRASH

Canton, Mass, Oct. IA (UP) - Army authorities sought today to determine the cause of q plane crash which took the life of Staff Sgt. Watkins Mayo, 19, of Tulia, Tex.
 Witnesses said the single-seater plane had been flying low over woods just before the crash late yester- day. It was believed Mayo might have been trying to pull out of a dive when he hit the trees.

Thomaston Officials
 May Reconsider Vote
Special Town Meeting Called for October 2Oth-Fai-
 ure to Buy War Bonds Cause of Criticism

It should be understood that ths investment in war bonds merely calls for the $6,0O0 which was voted to be laid aside each year for 8 sewage disposal system, to be ir1- vested in war bonds, rather than to remain idle in our banks. The banks of course, would pay the town only two per cent interest on the money, while the banks in turn in- vested the money at six per cent inc tereSt.
 The fact that other communities around the state have already iu- vested in war bonds makes the arr gumentS against Thomaston doing likewise, appear foolish.
 That there will be no opposition to the plan is quite clear since there have been rumblings about the pur- chase of bonds heard here and there. Thus, the leaders of the movement to place Thomaston on 8 patriotic basis in our present war, are pleading for every -blooded American to attend the meeting on next Tuesday.
