Board Acts Thursday On Teachers Bonuses
Bmgesses Ban Paid Bremen From Working Out.of-
 town; Two Welfare Appointments Confirmed

fore. MT. OToole said he was not aware of the 1881 rule forbidding men from working on of hours. Burgess Plosh maintained the fire men were not to blame when copies of the rule were not available to them.
 Finally, Warden Brophy put the Ploski amendment up, which was defeated on a party vote, 4-3, the warden breaking the tie. Then the two motions passed without oppo- sition.
 The board confirmed the warden's appointment of Patrick Scully and John Finsel to the welfare board and Richard Durkin to the board of tax review, all for three-year terms. They are present members of their respective boards.
 It was then voted to refer to the fire committee a suggestion by Burgess J. Francis Cullen that vol- unteers and paid firemen with 25 or more years experience be given badges.

Naugatuck, May g - The board of warden and burgesses, at their meeting last night. complied with last Mondays vote of the freemen by ordering 10 pc rcent bonuses. not to exceed $200, for regular mfunici- pal workers other than teachers, to take effect July 1. The school board will act on the teachers bonuses Thursday.
 The board also voted to bar any paid fireman from working out of town after a bitter hour-long de- bate on the measure.
 Warden Brophy said Lieutenant John Phillips of the fire depart ment has been working in Water bury during his off-duty time al- though he could not say definitely he is working there now. Lieutenant Phillips is paid driver in the de- partment and if three paid drivers were to work out of town, a disas- trous fire might result, with no one available, MT. Brophy pointed out.
 It was maintained by Republican burgesses that Fire Chief John J. Sheridan should be consulted before any action on the measure was taken. Warden Brophy said the chief had made no report of the matter to the board, but had com- plained to the fire committee about a fireman working as bartender in his of hours.
 Two measures were finally passed by the board. One clarified a rule approved by the board in 1881, copies of which have not been pub lished for distribution to the Fire Department or board members. The first vote last night was that every member of the paid fire department shall give his whole time to the bus iness of the department, must not follow any other calling or business without the consent of the borough board and must be prepared to act immediately on notice.
 Republican members of the board said they did not oppose the res friction of work outside town, but contended the chief should have a say in the matter first. They said the police chief was consulted with a similar measure relative to his department before 1t was passed.
 MT. Brophy. emphasizing it was a war measure, said most persons will agree 1t is inadviSable to have a driver working out of town. Mir. De Carlo emphasized he was not trying to shield anybody. Burgess William Ploski called the action un- fair to the fire chief and made an amendment to refer 1t to the fire chief and the fire committee for further action.
 Warden Brophy then threatened to issue the order himself if the board did not act on it last night and Mir. Ploski replied. You cant"
 The warden answered, T can't, eh2 can act to protect the safety of the town"
 It was emphasized by MT. Brophy the chief is under the board as far as authority goes and added. Its Q question of whether the fire de- paFtment will run the board or the board will run the fire department"
 Mir. De Carlo said the warden and the fire chief should cooperate. The warden asserted the Are chief must have sanctioned the men working on off time because he has never reported 1t to the board. The warden. under questioning by the Republicans, said he himself knew some were working in Naugatuck. but had not known until recently that one was working out of town.
 Mir. De Carlo asked Burgess An- drew O1Toole. fire committee chair man, who made the original motion, why he had not brought it up be-

 Like all wartime capitals. Vichy Is horribly overcrowded. But un- like most other wartime capitals Vichy is not the show place of the nation - the center of wartime gaiety and glitter. The shops are empty. Food, even in good ho- tels, is increasingly meager and hard to come by. Monsieur Marin says Q days food consists chiefly of soup mediocre bread, carrots and potatoes.

The piano renditions will be a portion of the choir's annual Mothers Day con- cert.
 The guest artist. who toured the principal cities of Europe and South America before coming to this coun- try, graduated from the Conserva- tory of Paris in 1923 with high honors as 6 composer, pianist-ivr- tuoso. He received the diploma Premier Prix". Tn 1929 the Bel Eian government invited him to the International Pianists' contest in Brussels as a member of the jury, and he was given the title of Cav- alier of the Crown of Leopold II, king of Belgian, and received the Order of the Crown.

 NEWS HARD TO GET
 Tiredness and sadness increase e invasion comes hourly nearer. Mcn- sieur Marin says. News is fantas- tically hard to get except over BEG. French cand Germans both listen to the British news programs. Ths NaZ plan to confiscate radios has now been dropped in favor of the new plan to cut off the power.
 With the lack of news in geza- eral, few people in France know of the political happenings out- side. DeGaulle, the symbol of re- sistance, is universally popular. So are Americans, says Monsieur Marin. The French know of the successful conquest of North Afri- ca. They do not know of Americas official antagonism to DeGaulle: or of the political wranglines in Washington and Algiers which have lost America many friends among Frenchmen who are free.
