CneSnlre ana way StaJlOnS are pack
in town. This genial couple have
taken an apartment in their block
at the corner of Willow and Pine
streets. Last winter it was badly
damaged by fire, but it has been
thoroughly renovated and looks just
as spic and span as when it was
built many years ago. Frank is
tickled to return to Waterbury. He
was never really at home in Ches-
hire, where he conducted an inn for
years. But his say in the country
apparently agreed with him from a
health standpoint. He does not look
a day older and the twinkle in his
eye is just as bright as it was ten
years ago. Have him tell you the
story about the duck that drank all
the gin on a certain New Years
eve. After it was we'll "oiled" the
owner put it on Franks dance floor.
But just as you might surmise 1t
did not stay there long after Frank
caught sight Of it.
Attorney Walter E .Monagan, Jr.,
is now the editor of the frankfort
Arsenal Bulletin. 1t is snappy mil
itary publication, printed at the
frankfort arsenal. The paper was
established in 1918, but suspended
after the first World War. 1t ap-
peared on the neWsstands again in
April, 1913 and has made rapid
strides since its new start. Attorney
Monagan has been in the service
prior to Pearl Harbor and has the
rank of major. Andrew and John,
two of his brothers are also in the
service. William, another brother,
is an attorney and until recently
was with the FBI in Washington.
He has now received a commission
as ensign and will join the navy in
the near future. Yes, they are all
the sons of Attorney Walter, ST.,
and the late Mrs. May Monagan.
Racing enthusiasts from this city,
who have the time, money and in
clination, to go to the New York
race tracks, will find an excellent
train leaving the Penn. station at
7 bells. The trains runs nonstop to
Bridgeport and you arrive in New
Haven before $3.50. There Is diner
on hand with plenty of food and
drink. The latter is very apropoos
coming from day at the track
after trying to boot home some of
the plugs that are supposed to be
sure winners.
The street department loses a
very efficient employee in the depar-
ture of ICY" ODonnell. He has gone
to Devens like many of his buddies,
who are now in the service. He not
only did his work we'll, but he had
a very pleasant way of meeting the
people. Everybody seemd to lik him
and his smile was rarely missing.
His "side-kick", Jimmie Brennan
now in Florida, is expected home in
a few days on a furlough. He will
be disappointed to find "Cy" gone.
Victor Bozzuto, one of thta fam
Gus Brooklyn family is in town on
a furlough. Five of the Buzzoto
boys are in the service and they all
seem pretty pround about it--and
they have reason to fel that way
about on another. Jimmie" just
returned to Denver a few days ago.
where he is training to be an aerial
gunner. He was the master OF cere-
monies at the D'Angelo restaurant
before he took position with Uncle
Sam. You certainly have to admire
the morale of the boys that are
fighting for this country.
Andrew K. Larson, sometimes
called Fat, had rather hectic
experience last week. After finish
ing a strenuous day at Larson's
Grill, which he conducts with his
brother Connie, he decided to take
a swim. Lakewood beach is in his
backyard, so thither he goes. He was
cavorting in the water to his hearts
content, when all of sudden he
gave a yell that could be heard a
mile away. Did he have a cramp?
He had no cramp. The outcry was
caused by something he saw on
shore. Indiscreetly he left his Goth
ing on the shore, with nobody there
to watch it. Along came handy
man, picked up Fats" trousers and
away he went like Gunder Hagg.
Eat" scrambled out of the water
and shouted Justify at the thief.
But the latter had too much Of a
headstart. 1t was not SC much that
he had to walk home in his wet
trunks. But he lost his wallet with
several ration cards, which caused
him much inconvenience in the
next few days. How about his
money? Well being Larson, he left
that at his place of business before
he went up. Those Swedes are smart
