School Lunch Program Should Be Continued
WPA Closes Several Projects, But Officials ReCOm'
 mend Civic Organizations Take Charge

lunches have been received. The shortage of WPA labor made 1t lm- possible to start projects in some communities, while othersN have made their own arrangements.
 Growing interest in the program was also reflected in the abundance of volunteer assistance. About 150 volunteers have helped the 130 em- ployes of the WPA this year. These include Red Cross canteen trainecs, whose school lunch experience is considered as part of their field work.
 With Connecticut university as sponsor for the statewide program local boards of education, Parens- Teacher associations and school of- ficials sponsor it for each commun- ity. The food, which is the re- Sponsibility of the sponsors, is sup plemented by commodities furnish ed by the Agricultural Marketing Administration.
 Careful instruction and super vision of all workers is provided by trained home economists of the WPA Service Division, who also fur nish menus to several communities not in the WPA program.
 Connecticut towns and cities where projects are operating or have operated this year are as fol- lows:
 Bethlehem, Bethany, Brookheld, Canaan, Colchester, Essex, DaE- bury, East Hartford, Hamden, Hart ford, Lakeville, Lebanon, Moosup, Manchester, Middlebury, Milford, Noroton, Naugatuck, New Fairfield New Haven, New London, North Haven, Norwalk, Plainfield, Plain vile, South Windsor, Southington Stamford, Taftville, Warren, Waur- egan, Windham, Willimantic, WOl- colt, Wallingford, Waterbury, Wa tertown, Weston and Winsted.

DISCUSSIONS HELD
 ON WAR SERVICE
Boy Scout Leaders in Favor of Extending Pres-
 ent Program

Plans for extending war service in the local Boy Scout organization were made at meeting of Scout leaders last night at St. Johns Epis- copal parish. A series of instruc- ton meetings for persons who will supervise the scout messenger ser- vice was arranged, and details of the messenger training were planned.
 The supervisors will be required to attend six training sessions, iden- tical meetings being planned for each Wednesday and Thursday night starting April % and 23, thereby giving the leaders a choice of atten- dance. Local council executives will be in charge of the training which will place emphasis on phy- sical development, first aid, signal- ing, knowledge Of streets, detection of hazards, discipline, and emer- gency corps training.
 A war service rally was planned for Sunday, May 24 att he Water bury municipal stadium. Various events testing knowledge of first aid, rescue, knot tying, and cooking will be arranged.

WALKER FAvORS !. PART TIME JOBS
Fire, Policemen Should Be Permitted to Work While
 Off Duty

Policemen and firenien should be allowed to take part-time jobs from private employers during their otf- duty hours, Alderman Burton H. Walker, minority leader, declared at last nights meeting of the board of aldermen. On his motion, the board voted to have the police and fire boards report what specific bans they now have against such employment.
 MT. walker declared that the city's failure to give pay increases to policemen and firemen, together with rising living costs, had made 1t necessary for many to seek extra income from other sources.
 The fire board now forbids out side work, while the police board allows policemen to take any such work only with the approval Of the superintendent
 Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch submitted to the board an opinion that the police boards ban against all-night parking on the streets is legal. The board has such power, as the city's traffic authority"
 Tn answer to questions by MT. Walker, MT. Lynch said that the ban extended to streets which have not been accepted by the city. He also held that posting of signs on each street is not necessary.

AS It's share in this years en- larged school lunch program in Connecticut, the Work Projects Ad- ministration has served as many as 5,700 children daily in nearly 60 schools, according to a review ot the program today by WPA Ad- ministrator Howard Staub.
 The steady decline of WPA rolls has caused curtailment or closing of many projects, he said, but these have demonstrated the value of providing nutritious meals for school children and will encourage individual communities to carry or the work.

Raymond had blond, curly hair and deli
cate, girlish features From his rosebud lips
came the words: IN say saw that luigi"
The officer listened gravely to his cock-and-

lug" was dark, swarthy fellow not very tall
and foreign-looking He wore black mask
and held both hands in his pockets.
Two gats, eh?"

There's a crook like that in the Buck

His number is up" The blue eyes danced
with excitement They've thrown a Gordon

That's good! What makes you think this
lug was foreigner"
He. wore funny shoes. They didn't have
strings or buttons or anything. There was
some kind of cloth in the sides. They were
probably Spanish. He talked that way. too"
Maybe you've got something there, Buck"
The policeman looked thoughtfully around
the room. Nov, son, listen to my story. When
your mother goes out, you tune in on the five
O'Clock Buck Barkley program. After while
you hear noise and you think she has come
home. You're not allowed to listen to Buck,
so you snap off the radio and crawl behind
this couch. You peek out under and it's not
your mother, it's guy with Spanish shoes.
That's all you saw of him; the rest you made
up. Is that straight, Buck? Come clean"
Gee! thought all cops were dumb"
They are in detective stories"
1HE Sergeant told Mrs. Stark that he was
going out to work on a clue that he had got
from the G-Boy.
Raymond was in bed when the doorbell
rang again.
1t was Sergeant Riddell. bearing beaming
face and good news. The thief had been
arrested and all the silver recovered.
you can tell Buck Stark that it was all
because of his good description of those
shoes"
He told me about the Spanish Shoes"
Only they weren't Spanish. just old FASH

still wears them is Judge Clyde He has to
send away when he needs new pair. But the
old gentleman doesn't steal silverware, so
asked him what he does with his castoffs. He
said his wife recently gave pair to Wash
Sutton, a good-for- nothing fellow who lives in

Detective Stark (age 81
always gets his man!

AT SEVEN o'clock Mrs. Stark answered
A the doorbell. A policeman came in out
- - of the winter night. I'm Sergeant
Riddell of the town force. About that stolen
silverware."
She recognized this pleasant-faced man as
a traffic cop on Main Street.
Maybe should have asked for detec-
tive. but didn't know what to do. My
husband is out of town and
Yes, there was an item in the Banner.
That means any local party might know there
were no men in the house Well see what we
can do" He examined the dining room side
board from which the siverware had been
taken, and she gave him tentative list of the
articles missing. ''Ill send man to look for
fngerprints," he said. That's not my spe-
ciatty."
He made notes as Mrs Stark told her story.
She had no servants, and she was alone in the
house with her eight-year-old boy. Raymond.
In the late afternoon she decided to run over
to Mrs. Wilcox's to borrow book. Raymond
was playing in his room. She asked him if he
wanted to 60 along, but he preferred to stay
at home.
What time did you 60 out, ma amp"
Ten minutes to five. I'm sure of that
because Raymond asked me-"
IT WAS dark at that hour, so she turned
on all the house lights. She was gone thirty
or forty minutes. She came back to find the
sideboard ransacked. The thief might have
used the unlocked side door.
Did the boy see or hear anything?"
That's an embarrassing subject, officer.
Raymond is fond of radio mystery dramas He
calls himself Buck Stark, the G-Boy' and he
solves mysteries all over the place"
I'VE tune in on them sometimes at head
quarters. We get a laugh out of them because
they are 50 goofy.''
mfr. Stark and I decided that he was
getting too much of this excitement, SO we
took the little radio out of his room, and don't
let him listen to such programs on this one.

Triplett Softball Team Defeats
Lima Robins, 6-2 Score, In Game Here

Playing good defensive ball be-
hind the air-tight hurting of Willie
Tripplehorn, the Triplett softball
team broke a three-game losing
streak last Thursday night to de-
feat Lima Robins, 6 to 2, in a twi-
light contest at Harmon field.
To garner their winning runs, the
locals punched hits effectively in the
second, third and sixth innings.
After Lewis had walked to open
the second, Bert Swank doubled and
the first run of the game crossed
the plate. Jim Gratz then walked,
and after Herman had struck out,
Crawford walked, Tripplehorn sing
led and Burkholder doubled. BY the
time the inning had ended three
runs had been scored.
In the third inning, two more runs
were added. Triplett and Fred
Swank got consecutive singles thru
the infeld, Triplett scoring on
Swank's blow. Swank then counted
on a hard rap by Bert Swank,
played as a fielder's choice which
failed to catch him at the plate.

Waterworks and Page Dairy
Co. Use Major Portion of
Water for Cooling
Town Furnishes Power for
Water Pumping at Bluffton
Stone Co.

Nearly one and one-half million
gallons of water pumped by the
Bluffton Stone company daily as a
byproduct in the operation of its
quarry here is serving useful pur-
poses instead of being dumped into
Big Riley creek as has been done
for a number of years.
The water which seeps into the
excavation at the quarry must be
pumped out in order to prevent the
workings from being flooded and
large electrically driven pumps are
required to accomplish this.
Pumped from the quarry daily is
an average of 1,400,000 gallons, of
which about 100000 gallons is d.
verted to the municipal electric light
and water works plant and the
Page Dairy plant for industrial use.
Lines have been installed connect
ing the two plants with the stone
quarry by which water in virtually
an unlimited amount may be utilized
by these consumers which require
large quantities daily for cooling
purposes. Water piped to the Page
plant is used for cooling milk while
that furnished the light plant is
used in connection with operation of
turbines which furnish electric cur
rent to the municipality.
The Page Dairy has been receiving
about 100000 gallons of water daily,
which is more than twice the 130,-
900 gallons used daily by the rest of
Bluffton. Formerly all of the water
used by the Page plant was pumped
from the wells at the water works
which threatened the town for a
time with a water shortage.
PAGE INCREASES VOLUME
Last summer the Page plant was
using 100000 gallons but metering
this summer has shown an increase
of the amount of water used to 300,-
900 gallons daily.
