Undoubtedly this action os the Boards of Finance and Police Com msssioners will mean that Fire De- nartment members will renew their requests for allowances for uni- forms. However. in their case it may be worked out along slightly different lines. IL has been sug- revsed that in addition to purchas- tng rubber coat and boots Tor nre- men, the city might reasonably supply the expensive fire helmet that an men must own. Also. Ii IS argued that the city could keep the personnel supplied with the cover alls or working outfits which they caastomarsiy don when they report for duty at their respective houses. Waterbury officials will recognize such problems as these and attempt to solve them in the process oi keening expenseS at a figure that ean be met by q reasonable tax rate.

 While in Maine one of the party was lost ia the woods for four hours, while the member of a nearby party was lost for two and a half days. The seriousness of geeting lost in the Maine woods may be better appreci- ated when consideration is given to the fact that person can travel as far as POO miles in some areas with. out seeing any signs Of civilization. On various occasions lost-hunters, when finally found after several days, were terror-stricken, senSeleSs and temporarily uncomfortable. Consequently, the necessity of blaz- ing a trail and using a compass ef- ficiently cannot be overstreSsed. not to mention a few other precautions. So you can see that a hunting trip to Maine cannot be compared to a mere iaunt in the Connecticut woods, in spite of the fact that certain safe ty precautions must always be kept in nind-even in Connecticut.
 And even in Connecticut there is Deer Hunting. But as most sports men know, the dense population Of our state neceSsitates stringent reg ulations on this sport in order to preserve the safety of nearby resi- dents.
 With a permit from the State Board of Fisheries and Game, signed by the landowner. Connection, sportsnen may hunt for deer in this state from December list to and in- cluding the 3lst of January.
 These and few other regulations were brought out by Dr Russell P. Hunter. Superintendent Of the State Fish and Game Dept. when he ap- peared as your writers guest on our Hunting and Fishing program- heard last Monday evening over WATR.
 Last Monday evening concluded the series of Hunting and Fishing programs over this station. The pro- gram will be heard in the future. with its usual roster O: guest-sports- men. over Waterbury'S newest radio station-WwCO. Time and date O. first program as this new station will be found in the next issue of this paper.

BACK FROM THE wrLps OF

BACK FROM THE wILDs OF MAINE Fred Baker and his party of seventeen sportsmen, all from this locality, literally brought home the bacon last weekend after a two week deer-hunt in Maine.
 Tn the vicinity Of Topsfield, Wash lngton County Maine. there lies in the midst of a dersely wooded sec- ton a composite named Camp Naug- atuck-after some Connecticut vil- lage. To this retreat the Baker Party made another annual trip in search of venison. This year the party mum. bered Seventeen--Seven were Of the Baker family. family prominent in Connecticut Sport circles
 The score for this years hunt was sixteen deer for seventeen men. Not bad at all. At least not when you compare these figures with the re- suits Of your writer's last trip. Out of four big-game-hunters who went up to Goshen after pheasantS, the bag was one squirrel. The irony Of it all was the simultaneous firing of four Shot-guns when Broth CT Squirrel appeared. making the rightful owner questionable.
 Tn getting back to deer-hunting, Fred Baker passes on some interest ing information regarding the ele- ments up thar in Maine Strange as it may sound for this time of year, the climate in Washington County was much too mild and hunting con- ditions in general were very poor Quite a few parties were encounter ed by members of FredS group who hadn't even seen a deer after a weeks hunting. This fact tends to put a bit more emphasis on our local groups catch of sixteen deer, which included one seyen-point buck, two siX-points, two spike-horns and does making up the remainder.
 The members Of the party were Fred Lake, Ralph PaSho Walter Roberts, William Brush. Harry Schmitz, William Cables. pr. Joseph Star. Harry Stewart, Charles Me Weeney Jr., and he Rev Anthony Sima of the Blessed Sacrament Church in Waterbury.
