Fred v. Moon Is in town.
You may ask, who is Fred v
Moon?" and Justly so, too. Well
we'll tell you who he is, and wha
he used to do while resident o
Waterbury.
Fred, Is now a resident Of
Tampa, Florida, where he has
made his home for the past %
years. But before that, he was a
member of the Waterbury Fire
Department. And before that he
was an expert workman for the
Scovill Manufacturing Company.
But real interest, and hobby
for fire life prompted him TO seek
adnittance to the Fire Depart
ment, and he was appointed. This
was back some years ago, When
the horse drawn apparatus was IN
In play and no automobile en-
gines were purchased except those
for the headquarters station on
Leavenworth street. Fred stayed
In the Department for IS years or
so, and resigned July 20, 1915
"The Fire Department has GER

established during the period Of de-

commission and the Connecticut
Chiefs Of Police association, Park
supt. James j. Curtin announced
In behalf Of Mayor John s. Monagan
at this mornings session Of the
Joint Sofety conference, held at the
Wildly High school auditorium.
In celebrating on the definition
Of the word "carelessness", as the
word concerns the safety program,
Mr.. Curtin declared that 'unpatri-
otto" was not the proper synonym
for "carelessness"-that the word
"saboteur" should be applied to any
person who is an accomplish to any
act Of carelessness, even though this
be an unwilling act.
I'VE say that a serviceman who
has not been granted an oficial
leave is AWOL. We can very easily
apply those very letters to civilians
who are careless, by declaring these
individuals as having found AN
OTHER WAY OF LOSING this
great war;" Mr.. Curtin pointed out.
IF civilians are out to help win
this war, they must make physical
application Of the slogan Conserve
Manpower and Womanpower for
War Power" Mr.. Curtin said.
Numerous ways Of being careless
were exemplifled as follows: poor
sanitation, neglecting ones health,
consumption Of bad food as inspired
by the black market, spread Of dis
eases, etc.
Justice Arthur F. Ellis Of the Su-
preme Court Of Errors, and presid-
ing ofilcer Of this conference, said
the purpose of these conferences

Bluffton High Cagers Open Season
With 1872 Win Over Lima St. Johns

Opening their f943-44 season in
impressive style, Bluffton H G h
cagers easily trounced Lima St.
Johns, 81 to p, in a contest on the
Bluffton floor Wednesday night of
last week.
st. Johns broke the scoring ice
with a free throw after a minute of
play, but Bluffton soon spurted into
a lead that was to become perman-
ent so far as the game was concern
ed.
Close defensive play marked the
Pirate stand during the entire first
half, as we'll demonstrated by COM
parative scores of the two outfits.
At the close of the first quarter
Bluffton was setting the pace, 9 to
3, and the Pirates were out in front
at halftime, Is to 7.
1t was in the third period that the
Hasson-coached outfit turned on the
heat for their best offensive showing
of the evening, and before the quart
er had ended they added 13 points
to hold 81 to Ia advantage.
Even with substitutes in action
most of the closing period, Buttons
defense still looked good against the
visitors altho they got eight points
in the stanza as compared with six
for the Pirates.
