the name of the institutions which find it necessary to pamper criln- 1nals and drunks in places primarily intended as recovery centers for our insane brethren. Dr. Speck, in con- cluding his excellent report, writes: "We believe that more hearts are centered on Whitfield because of the countless thousands who have friends and loved ones here than on any other single humanitarian en- terpriec of this State. It is my pur- pose and ny prayer that Mississip- pis mentally i'll shall never be de- nied any ray of hope that modern medical science may suggest and that the maternal love of a great State can provide"
 Thank God for men like Drs Bryan and Speck! As the mental hospitals emerge from their too long isolation from all that is good and noble in humane endeavor we will behold more such men registering their humanitarian devotion on the side of achievement, and justice by the dedication of themselves and their staffs to the sacred rights o1 the ursound of mind. While here and there unfit men still dominate the psychiatric field, today Amer ican State Hospitals are for the most part staffed by humane men with the courage of their convictions, and united in singleness of heart and purpose on behalf of the mentally i'll.

EQUIPMENT FOR
 AUXILIARY UNIT
Volunteer Police to Buy Own Cap, Badge-Spec-
 cial Insignia Adopted

An important meeting of the Wa terbury auxiliary police unit will be held tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock at police headquarters.
 Action will be taken on the recommendation of the uniform committee that a cap and badge, to cost total of $40, be obtained by each member of the auxiliary. The uniform committee, under the chairmanship of Louis Schmidt, met last night at police headquarters.
 The committee decided that the uniform should consist of the cap regulation visor type, navy blue trousers and white shirt. The badge, to be pinned to the cap, is similar to those worn by Providence auxil- iary police. A little larger than a silver dollar is is shied shaped and bears the inscription, Waterbury Auxiliary Police" Each badge bears a number and in the center is the red, white and blue circle and tri- angle of the civilian defense corps.
 Clubs ,arm-bands and helmets are to be issued free to the auxil- iaries. The clubs and arm-bands are now on hard and it is expected that the helmets will be distributed soon.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-05

However, he said, he lost a lot 50 by I25 feet, which cost him 9450.
 The board refused a request by Floyd Rasmussen for acceptance of Malinalick street as a city street be- cause proper maps and profiles have not yet been prepared and approved.
 It was voted to have the engineer ing bureau secure the necessary right of way for 8 water main from Huntingdon avenue to Essex street and to seek priority for 10-inch water main to be laid.
 A complaint by William Bragg of Highland avenue about sidewalk conditions in front of his home was referred to the street superintendent. A request by Acorn street residents for a larger water main was re- ferred to the water committee.
