on the water wagon. The boys
who installed the tank deserve
lot of credit, because in doing the
work themselves, under direction
of Chief Engineer Leonard Beall

Sounds easy, but here's
what it takes to keep
this giant span going

IF YOU are one of the millions of
motorists who often wished
they owned a toll bridge, you
might as we'll wish for the $8O,-
100000 San Francisco-Oakland
Bay span.
With l6 collectors ringing up
tolls on an average of one every
six seconds, the worlds largest
bridge does the quickest cash busi-
ness in the nation. Now almost 10
years old - birthday Tuesday
the bridge has an average of
T,OOO cars crossing its eight-mile
stretch of bridgework every day.
But running a bridge involves
more than having a man in uni
form collect quarters. It's big busi-
ness. Manned by 24O employees,
the San Francisco-O Oakland Bay
bridge is a miniature city. 1t
has its own bank, fire and police
departments. and even a hospital.
There are 80 toll collectors and
three dozen men who do nothing
but maintenance work on disabled
cars.
Painters Under Fire
TOUGHEST job on the bridge is
painting. With an area of l5.OOO,-
600 square feet to cover, bridge
workers have been painting the
span for nine years, still haven't
completed one round. Once they
were even under fire. After Pearl
Harbor, State Guards were called
out to patrol the bridge. took shots
at every man they saw on the
cables. Fortunately their aim was
bad because every man they saw
was painter!
Toll collecting is pretty dull,
says Captain Minor L. Silvey who
is in charge of the crew. Unless toll
men receive frequent rest periods
they'll start to cut out paper dolls.
During the war about 800 women
were hired as collectors but it was
a tough grind and the turnover
was rapid. The gals had to be
courteous, collect quarters and

Iran Rebels Seize Hubs

Tehran, Sept g - (UP) - The South Persian centers of Bushire and Abadeh, it was reported today, have fallen to the rebel movement of Ghashghai tribesmen.
 Bushire and Abadeh are both To- cated in Ears Province which has been the center of the uprising. Bushire is an important port on the Persian Gulf, no miles South west of Shiraz, where British influ- ence has always been strong. Aba deh is 330 miles South of Tehran
 Government quarters have charged a connection between the tribal revolt and the presence of strong British military and naval forces in the Persian Gulf.
 The Ghashghai tribesmen have been demanding that the govern ment grant them a measure of autonomy, similar to that given Azerbaijan in North Persia
 The area affected by the rebel lion lies just South of the huge Anglo Iranian oil concession at the head of the Persian Gulf

Horsemeot Meal Labeled Tosty'

Boston, Sept. "A - (UP) -Massa- chusetts General Hospital, which pioneered in the use of ether and 100 years later led the field in serv- ing horsemeat to patients, today re- ceived a week-long supply of regu- lar meat from dealers who had read of the hospitals new menu.
 Horsemeat was served for the flrSt time to patients yesterday and pr, w. T. s. Thorndike, assistant direc- tor, said the resulting publicity brought offers of enough meat to last through Saturday.
 The new shipment included veal, bacon and ham-the first ham the hospital had received in two or three weeks.
 Thorndike said only small per- centage of the patients refused to eat the horSemeat and that he couldn't have told the difference from beef if he hadn't seen it listed on the menu. The horsemeat was served as a steak pie and was ten der and tasty" he said.

Democratic Women PIon Celebration
 18th Birthday
 Party PIonned
 For October g

The 18th anniversary of the or ganization of the Waterbury Wom- ems Democratic Club, oldest unit of it's kind in Connecticut, will be ob- served Wednesday evening, October 9th, with an informal dinner gath- ering at Rocco DiOrio'S. In view of the press of business and the cur rent political campaign the club will not plan any elaborate celebration, but will make the occasion more of a reunion of old and new members.
 Incidentally at meeting Of the club last evening in Democratic headquarters plans were completed to honor the memory of Mrs. Nellie Hayden, organizer and first presi- dent of the organization. Mrs. Hay den served as leader of the Women's Democratic Club here for a period of 25 years. Her widely mourned death occurred almost on the eve of a contemplated celebration of the examinations silver jubilee. AS a mark of respect and affection for Mrs. Hayden high Mass of requiem will be celebrated in her memory at o'clock next Friday morning in the Church of the Immaculate Concep- tion. Officers and members of the club will attend.
 Owing to Mrs. Hayden's death the Silver jubilee celebration was can- celled. The 18th anniversary will bring together number of former members who are residing in other communities and states.
 Mrs. Helen Loy has been appoint ed chairman of the anniversary din- ner by Mrs. Marguerite Gilhooley, president, who presided at last eve nings meeting. Mrs. Pauline Conlon will officiate as toastmistress for the occasion.
 Another feature of the meeting was the appointment of a commit tee of six to compile the 26 years history of the club and to arrange for it's publication. AS the clubs ac- tivities mark the first appearance of women in state and local politics some interesting sidelights of poli- tical and historical nature are ex- pected to be given prominence. Members of the local club actually tour Connecticut arousing women's interest in politics and in the or ganization of clubs.
 The committee includes four charter members: Mrs. Mary Teller, Mrs. Anne Shea, Mrs. Thomas ODonnell, and Miss Catherine ". Burns and Mrs. Helen Delaney, sec retary and Mrs. Sarah Bedore, scribe.
