That Kind

Bill-What kind of chap would
you say John is?
Bob-If you see two men talking
and one is trying to get away, the
other one is John.
''Marry in haste, repent at
LEISURE" is all wrong, a woman
tells me. After you marry you
have no leisure.

21 New Raid Sirens
 Arrive In Waterbury
Installation and Tests May Be Finished in Week; Fire
 Headquarters Siren to Be Elevated

Installation and tests of the city's 2l new air raid sirens will probably not be completed for sev- eral more days or a week, accord ing to Thorvald E. Olsen, director of communications for the Water bury Defense Council. Mir. Olsen announced arrival of the new sirens at last nights meeting of the Council in the City Hall.
 Present plans call for installation of four one-half horsepower sirens on the cupola of the City Hall in- stead of the five horsepower one originally scheduled to be placed there. Of the cone type siren it was found that 1t would be virtually impossible to direct the sound from this device above the roofs of sur- rounding buildings.
 When actual tests of the new and old sirens are made 1t is believed the large one will be placed in an outlying district with the Mary Ab- bolt school on the top of Hill street the likeliest spot.
 Other sirens received in the city's allotment included six two-horse- power sirens, two one-horsepower, and twelve half-horsepower. Eleven were previously purchased and there are also nine traffic sirens now at various intersections throughout the city.
 Installation of the new sirens is being done by Capt. Robert Schlos- ser of the fire department, Elec- trical Inspector Martin O'Rourke, and Sergt. George Chatfield of the police department.
 By placing the four small sirens in the cupola of the City Hall the sound produced is expected to cover a wide area as they will be well above the level of surrounding building tops.
 The present siren on the central fire headquarters will also be elev- ated to teh top of a new 20-foot platform.
