at the bandstand!
The corsages that the girls
were wearing really shone in
the darkness of the hall. Not
that the dark was minded by
the younger crowd. Ruth Ogrinc
presenting herself with beau
tiful dress. Ray Russ and girl
fri e n d enjoying themselves
more than usual. Joe Godec and
Eleanor looking quite sharp.
Our favorite dancer, Rose, real
ly going to town with Merle
Johnson, and I do mean dane
ing. Toney and Alice Conceitti
arriving for only few dances,
and leaving for Chicago at l
o'clock the following morning.
Rudy Dolence not doing much
dancing. You couldn't have
been pre-occupied, or could
you? A new arrival to the
dances is Dick Shust, and not
doing so bad either. That was
shoe that was thrown across
the floor, not the tanned mice
that Toney thought would get
his friends away from the
benches. BY the way, who gave
them to you?
Who was the girl who re-
ceived a rabbit from her boy
friend instead of a corsage?
Betty and Marian Perko look
ing and dancing quite nicely.
Did you notice the girl Jake
brought to the dance? 1t isn't
very often that anyone has the
honor of coming to dance with
Jake, is it? We wonder how all
the girls feel after wearing high
heels to a jitterbug dance? How
about it, are your feet still
sore?
Lill and Tybish, that loveable
couple, coming to the dance
late. What was the trouble?
Violet Vogrin receiving a beau
tiful corsage from Anthony
Farantchia. Best wishes for
speedy recovery to Anthony,
who is now in the hospital suf-
fering from a blood clot.
Helen Medved arriving home
Saturday from the hospital aft
er an appendectomy. Say, those
were beautiful gardenias and
roses that Anthony Augusta
sent you, Helen.
Norma and Wally not attend
ing the affair. Why? Or does
the show interest you more?
Judy from Greenwood Races
store, closing up early to allow
her to attend the dance. That's
sweet of you, Judy!
Snoopy being watched all
evening. And not because she
is a news reporter either. Doro-
thy Young and Ken Delps MAX
ing future plans for the week.
What goes? We wonder if Jen-
ME Tomsic ever won her cot"
bet?
Our deepest sympathy to the
Skufca family who has recent
ly received telegram from
the War Dept. stating that
their son is missing in action.
Tom ROLAND home from the
navy and not coming to the
dance. Oh, yes, Jean wanted
quiet evening at home. Della
Tullo looking tops, but where
was her brother? That loveable
couple, Mary Lou McGrew and
jim Wolpe, leaving early.
To end this column | would
like to add this:
The crowd was nice, but it
really was too bad that some of
the crowd proved they could
not be trusted. Those persons
involved should be ashamed of
themselves. It's too bad some
one has to spoil everyone's fun.

RUBBER PLANT
 COSTS S1S,o0O
Three-StOry Water Street Building to Be Used for
 Storage Purposes

Naugatuck. May l6.-A three story building addition to the U. S. Rubber Co. on Water street, now under construction, for the purpose of manufacturing and storage pur- poses, will cost $i8,000, Building h. spector Andrew s. Bently said to- day.
 A one-story structure, also an ad- dition is being built on Rubber ave- nue for the same company will cost $l5,000, the building inspector said.
 Work of actual construction of new homes in the 200-house project in the Field street-Aetna street area has not yet begun, he said. More progress has been made on apart ment houses in a project on Bridge street, he added.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy said Mon- day night he favors the proposed -million-dollar flood control dam as Thomaston because it will bene- tit Naugatuck and other lower val ley towns" It was the first off, cial expression of opinion from the warden on this dam, which would be built with government funds.
 Warden Brophy is in agreement with Mayor Andrew Nolan of An- sonia that the lower valley towns, including Naugatuck. bear the brunt when the Naugatuck river rises high.
 His stand is based on the fact that the proposed dam would in the event of flood as occurred here in 1888, keep the Naugatuck river level five feet under what it was in 1888, he said.
 We know that such a dam would reduce considerably the likelihood of large flood here" Warden Brophy said.
 Asked if he felt the cost of the Thomaston dam project was too high. Warden Brophy said, Tt is impossible to compare the cost with the benefits of such a dam for we can't tell what damage future floods might cause.
 Warden Brophy said local man. ufacturers or the Chamber of Com merce have not given him any indi- cation of their stand on the pro- posed dam.
 The warden attended a recent conference in Waterbury in con- nection with the dam. He said to- day that at the conference he and some other officials favored in- creasing the height of the dam, over that specified in plans if by so doing it would cause a constant flow in the Naugatuck river and thus carry pollution to the sea quickly. They felt that this would abolish the necessity of sewage dis posal plants but were informed by Gen. Washams, state water com missioner. that the erection of such plants would still be necessary.

 MT. Dibble accepted the chairman ship of the committee following a conference with Robert Gaylord N. A. M. president. in New York Plans for the immediate activity ot the 63-man, nationwide group were then discussed.
 The group is commissioned by NAM to proceed through series oi studies and meetings "to determine and develop spending policies that will be in the best interests of our 50 million taxpayers"
 To this end, the announcement said, the manufacturers will meet with government representatives mot as critics but as collaborators."
 The fact that already we have overspent our tax income by $185 billion is water over the wheel" said Chairman Dibhle. We are committed to a debt on which the interest alone is more than the whole cost cost of government in the early Thirties.
 We can, we must guard the fu- ture. Congressional committees wisely have begun a fruitful search for waSteful and non-essential spending. This committee will sup port such worthy efforts. It desires to examine also the methods and procedures for appropriating and spending public funds.
 Tn brief" the chairman con- cluded, we are not collecting gripes, but are joining hands with government.
 Fifty million taxpayers can't be wronged."
 A native of New Haven, Yale graduate 1907s), MT. Dibble has been identified with Connecticut's s business and public life for many years. He earned his way through Yale by working with c. Cowles Company of New Haven, of which he is now director, and by play ing cornet in an orchestra.
 In 1908, he went to work for the Oakville Company, Waterbury, in supervisory capacity, and in 1913 went with the RiSdon Company at Naugatuck as vice president and general manager. He was made Ris- dons president in 1927. Tn 1885, he became president of Eastern Mall leable. He continues to hold both positions.
 Mir Dibble is married, the father of five children. He serves on two WIPE advisory committees. He is a director in five Connecticut indus tries and two banks. He is a director of the Naugatuck Chamber of Con- merce; a past president of the Mall leable Founders Society.
 Aside from business pursuits, he golfs little hunts more, but really is most happy stalking Connecticut trout.
