of traffic, etc., which were sub stantiated by T. L. Scott Smith, city planning engineer. Members of the city's health department cited the risks they encounter in the form of contagious diseases and the like. Both groups asked of the Commission If such dangers did not entitle them to the same qualifica- tion standards as the police and fire, and the Commission seemed inclined to agree.
 Herbert Colby and c. B. Root, of teh engineering department said the employees would be willing to pay higher contributions if they could be rtired on pension after 30 years of service and before reach ing 65 years. MT. Root also question ed the disability clause, saying he interpreted it as meaning an indi- vidual could not receive a pension for disability unless the disability was service connected. MT Dubois said the act did not state that. Sen ator Francis Summa, a member of the commission, said he agreed with MT. Root, that the proposed bill as drawn, would limit pensions for diSabilityto those whose disability was service connected
 State System
 Registrar of Voters Albert O. Fall Ter asked why the local plan seem ed to be predicated on insurance company rates, while the state pen- sion system is based only on con- tributions by employees and the state, and yet has million dollar surplus. MT. Hooker answered that the state system will have to be re- vised by the next legislature, as the pensions it is paying now are only a fractional part of what it will have to pay when it has been in op- eration several years.
 Miss Lucy Minahan said that if general employe had worked 30 years and was not 65 years of age, he could be turned out by a new administration Russell Hooker, actuary of the commission, an- SWered that in such a case the employe would receive back what he had paid in.
 Miss Alice Benham, representing the office force of the education department, said most of the girls there had been working since they were IT, which would mean they would have to work 48 years before being eligible for a pension at 65.
 T think it would be benefit to the city to get rid of us before we are 65, pay us pension and hire younger girls" she said.
 Reduce Age to 60
 Assistant City Clerk John DiCorpo said that he doubted if there would be any city pensioner on the rolls after reaching the age of 70, and that the 65-year age retirement figure should be reduced to 60. MT. Scott-Smith asked why the provi- sion for general employees should

PROLOGUE: MichaI and her ba-
 by son, Dan, are alone in her
 courtyard when the Roman sOl-
 diers enter with drawn swords.
 It is HerOd'S order that all He-
 brew male children under two
 years be slain. Michal points to
 recently planted acacia tree, and
 reminds them that it is the He-
 brew custom to plant an acacia
 only on the birth of a daughter.
 The soldiers ride away. FLASH
 BACK: Joel has married his
 brother JOnathan's widow, Mich

 does not understand. Why does Michael bear an unyielding
 prejudice against Jonathan? Why
 has she sent JOnathans' son, Ma
 lachi, to live with the Roman
 woman, Flavia?
 The month of shedar had al- ready given way to Adar, Joel re- flected, musing upon the swift passing of the year. Michael was searching 'unsuccessfully for lilies of the valley, for as yet they had not come to bloom, their small flags were folded and sheathed. II was early now for blossoms, al- though she carried in her hand a Sharon rose and several red anemones.
 It would not be long until riot of wild flowers ornamented every slope and little valley. There was an abundance of herbage and the sheep were nibbling at tender foliage that little later would be

 Tonight's meeting will be held in the interest of the Waterbury teachers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-12-13

The hearing was conducted along temperate lines with all queries and answers confined to pertinent matters affecting 8 pen- sion plan.
 In opening the meeting c. Arthur Dubois, chairman of the Commis- sion thanked the city administra- tion for it's wholehearted coopera- tion in working with the Commis- sion and emphasized to those present last night that the Com mission was unbiased in its ap- proach to the pension problems of the city and was working only in the interests of employees and tax payers.
 Startling Results Speaking of the problems con- fronting the commission MT. Du- Bois stated that the members had been appalled, when the first survey of the pension conditions of the city was revealed. He stated that after careful study Russell Hooker actuary hired by the Commission reported that the sum of $7 million should, by now, be set aside by the city just to meet pension obliga- tionS assumed up to July of this year. The city has no fund set aside whatsoever and never has had except for the anticipated retire. ments of each year now ranging around $130,OOO annually. If such a fund was to be set up at this time mandatorially, it would re- suit in a tax increase to 65 mills, the chairman pointed out.
 MT. DuBoiS told of the amortiza- tion plan for providing for the obligations now already assumed by the city and those to come. Under such plan, he stated, 8 30-year amortization period would be re- quired whereby it would be neces- sary for the city to set aside the sum of $330, 127 with annual costs for current pension credits costing another $327, ,426 annually. The es- timated gross annual cost would be $757 ,589 based on the present net poyroll.
 Of this latter sum, the chairman ROAAAOCA OAO, SOOO,4Sb WONoNt OO OOAA stant over the 30-year period with the balance fluctuating with the payroll being 1918 per cent thereof The entire cost would result in a 20 A per cent slice of the present net payroll. This plan would mean per cent increase in the tax rate
 Spokesmen last night for general employees showed full willingness to participate insofar as contributions were called for but all strongly op- posed the 65 year limitation.
 Of interest was the features cited by various groups calling for easier qualifications for firemen and policemen based on the risks involved in their work.
 Hazards of Work
 William Harnick, member of the engineering department cited the tremendous risks involved in their work such as construction of dams working on city streets in the midst

LOCAL FIRE CHIEF
 AUTHOR OF ARTICLE

The public safety section of the magazine, American City," con- tains an article by Chief Thomas Cavanaugh describing the method used by the Waterbury fire depart ment in fighting brush fires.
 Chief Cavanaugh points out that a bumper equipped with two hose 50 that the blaze can be fought from different points is sent to all fires of this type. Portable pumps are used with considerable success the article states, and in some cases the excavation gang" digs small trenches around the borders of the fire.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson
BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL


The first part of our lesson
took place on Sunday morning,
April 9 A. d. 80. Three women,
Mary Magdalene, Mary the moth
er of James. and Salome. went
early to the tomb OF their Lord
carrying sweet spices to embalm
| the body.
AS they walked along they
wondered who would roll the
heavy stone away from the en-
trance so that thy could enter. It
was too large for them to move.
When they arrived at the tomb.
however, they saw, TO their great
amazement, hat the stone was
not at the entrance OF the tomb.
and when they looked within
they saw no Jesus, but a young
man-presumably an angel-sit-
ting where Jesus body had lain
He was dressed in a long white
garment, and they were al
frighted."
As thev went into the tomb the
angel said TO them: BE not af-
frighted: Ye seek Jesus of Naza-
ieth, which was crueified: He is
risen, He is not here: behold the
place where they laid Him.
But go your way, tell His dis
ciples and Peter, that He goeth
before YOU into Galilee: there
shall you see Him as He said UNI
to you"

Three Women flee

The three women went out
quickly and fled from the spot,
they trembled and were amazed,
and they said not a word to any
one OF what they had seen and
heard for they were frightened,
The latter half of our lesson is
concerned with Paui's beautiful,
reassuring letter to the Corin-
thians concerning this same res
surection of Christ. He speaks of
"Cephas," meaning Simon Peter,
who had seen Jesus after He had
risen. OF many others who had
also had the privilege.
Some, evidently, disputed the
resurrection, and to them Paul
says, If Christ be not risen, then
is our preaching in vain, and your
faith is also vain
"But now is Christ risen from
the dead, and become the first
fruits of them that slept. For
since by man came death by man
came also the resurrection of the
dead. For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made
alive"
On this faith that Jesus Christ
died for our sins and rose from
the dead, Paul bases his feeling
that life is worth while for all be-
levers.
