while eighteen property damage and personal injury accidents occurred during the hours of darkness.
 Captain William Duggan, in charge of the Accident Investigat- ing Squad states: "The problem presented to the police in the war emergency is complex. During all out" war, conservatio of manpoW- CT and equipment is more essential than ever before To accomplish most, therefore, our conservation program must begin where losses are greatest. Lives Of workers, val uable motor equipment, much need ed rubber and other property are needlessly destroyed in traffic acci- dents on our streets and highways"
 The Captain adds: Gasoline ra- tioning and the curtailment of non essential motoring will be reflected by traffic accident reduction, but in spite of these factors traffic ac- cidents will not be automatically reduced to the point where enforce ment officers can relax their viz ilance against traffic accidents and their ensuing results"
 Therefore we again as the driv- ing and walking public of Water bury to continue this one valuable assignment of their home defense that of cooperation with the police to continue to bring about greater decrease in accidents"

 Hearing Date
 Date of the hearing by the Ctv1 Aeronautics Board is set for August 16. The prospect of Waterbury aA a mainline" city on one of thG countrys' leading airline systems 0 certainly encouraging. The grant1 ing of permission to American Air- lines to serve Waterbury should opeH up new channels of commerce and industry and would bring with it the many advantages of air trans- portation.

 Reports that MT. Mcknight, who has served as local gasoline ration administrator for almost year, may submit his resignation to the ration board shortly strengthened the be- lief he will be named to the super for court clerkship, which involves moro duties than the lower court, also carrying higher salary, how ever.
 Candidates mentioned for the common pleas clerk post, to succeed MT. Mcknight if he should be promoted, include Miles F. McNiff, Jr., acting coroner, John D. Thoms, and Francis Mcdonald.
 It is believed that if 8 common pleas court post is not in store for MT. MCNlll llc WILL DG dppOlllJtu regular coroner for term of three years.
 A possible shifting of Miss Ger trude MiknaitiS, assistant common pleas court clerk to another state judicial position, is reported by several sources. A member of the court staff for more than Is years, her work has been widely commend ed. and some sources state she would be in line for the clerkship if sta- tute did not require the post to be filled by lawyer.

mission to add Waterbury to the cities it is now serving in New Eng land. As indicated on the adjoin ing map, a centrally located airport would serve Waterbury and three of its neighbor cities New Britain, Bristol and Meriden.
 Fewer Stops
 While American AirlineS serves other cities between here and Boston and New York, it is planned to re- duce the number of stops on each flight to minimum, thereby short ening elapsed flight time necessary to reach these two principal cities and numerous other cities on Amer ican Airlines' nation wide system, from coast to coast. Waterbury will be connected by air with all i'm portant cities in the United States and Mexico, Canada, Central and South America and, eventually, with the whole world.
 Americans application to the CAB for permission to serve Waterbury was viewed here as a perfectly logi- cal step for the airline which has served New England for over six teen years.
 w. Nelson Bump New Egland traffic manager for the airline, drew an enthusiastic and interesting pie ture of the leading role played by American Airlines in introducing air transportation to the New Eng land public. He reminded us, too, that many of the pioneers in air transportation came from New Eng land. Ex-Governor Trumbull of Connecticut, for instance, was one of the packers of Colonial Air Trans port, Inc, predecessor company to American Airlines. In April, 1927 one of it's three planes made what may well have been the first sched uled flight in America between Boston and New York. The fare was $25, which was subsequently, upped to $34.85. In recent years it has been steadily reduced to to- days fare of $1l.95, with a fur ther reduction in prospect

be called, and took charge of the work in Waterbury in August, 1914 It was during his ministry that the congregation. having gained the conviction that the secluded posi- tion of their place of worship was hindering the proper growth ano expansion of the parish, began casting about for a more suitable plot of land with the view of erect ing a new church on the same.
 Called to New York
 In'1916 Pastor F. Lindemann ac- cepted a call to New York city, being succeeded by pastor, Edw. P. Merkel September 10th of the same year Three days after his arrival the church property at 48-5O Park place, which in the meanwhile had been placed on the market, was sold rendering it necessary for the con- gregation to conduct its services al the parish house of St. Johns Epis- copal church for year and half while the new church edifice was in course of construction. The congregation was not long in finding a favorably located site at 46 Cooke street, purchasing it in November of 1916 for $2, 400. An architect from New Haven was engaged to draw plans for combined church and parsonage. Prohibitive war time prices, however, prompted the con- gregation to drop it's plans for the building of parsonage at that time Contract for a brick church costing $15,70O was let to the Tracy Bros Go. in the summer of 1917. The corner stone was laid September 30 the same year, and April IA of 1918 witnessed the epochal event of church dedication. Pastor Merkel accepted call to Easthampton, Mass, in 193O and Rev. MT. Mohr- mann, present pastor, has served since.
 The building of St. Johns Lutheran church was made possible only through the generous support of local Lutherans and members of the Atlantic District who through the Church Extension Treasury loaned the congregation, without interest, $180o0. The congregation since 1918 has reduced it's debt to $3,000
 In June of 1922 an eight-room house at 210 Cooke street, very suit ably arranged for parsonage, was purchased by the congregation for S8, 500.

 First Effort in 1894
 The first effort to organize a con- gregation of the Missouri Synod Lutheran church ill Waterbury may be traced back to the year 1894. During a period of business depres- sion at Meriden, Conn.,, a number of Lutheran families (Schnabel Rufleth, Barnikow, Brenner, and several others), all members of St. Johns Lutheran church of that city removed to Waterbury in that year Complying with their request, the Rev. Fly. Koepchen, their pastor came over from Meriden and con- ducted divine services for them reg ularly in one of the local churches These services were so we'll attended that the mission board of the east ern district decided to call mis- sionary to Waterbury. The call was extended to candidate Theo. Schur- del, who accepted the call and ar rived in this city on October 2, 1894 Having effected the organization of congregation, he resigned his charge shortly after Christmas of that same year. In the course of the following year the congregation again disbanded owing to the re- turn of the greater majority of its members to Meriden Another effort to start mission in Waterbury was made a few years later by Pastor Theo. Gross at that time pastor of St. Matthews Lutheran church of New Britain. Conn, but without any tangible results.
 It was not until the year 1903

Pastor

when Pastor O. Duessel, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran church of Bris- tol, Conn, renewed the missionary efforts, that permanent organiza- tion of a congregation was effected. A call was extended to, and accepted by, Rev. Aug. Koerber who served the congregation until 1905. During his pastorate the congregation was kindly permitted to conduct its serv- ices in the swedish Lutheran church on Cherry street. Having followed a call to New York city, Pastor A.. Koerber was succeeded by the late Rev Julius Kretzmann of Hudson, N. Y. During his pastorate the con- gregation became incorporated in the year 1908 under the laws of Con- necticut and proceeded to purchase a tWo-family dwelling located at 48-50 Park place which was remodeled to serve as chapel and parsonage. At this time the congregation began to show a marked increase in member ship. In the year 1909 Rev. J. C.. KretZmann accepted call to Zion Lutheran church of New Haven, Conn, Whereupon the Rev. V. Geist there was a vacancy of eight months, filled by Pastor O. von Schenk of Rockville, Conn. Rev. F. Lindemann was the next pastor to
