The Algonquins! "Out Easter' Turns Back Pages Of Local Social History to Revive Memories of Former Or ganization of We'll Known Waterburians
 Names Recalled

Old days of the Algonquin Social Club came back to us the other day as we encountered Richard Vickers on a visiting trip to Waterbury to greet relatives and old friends. We had not seen him in years, but we him as a member of this fine old organization of 35 years ago, located as it was on the 3rd floor of the so-called Chase block at the Junction of Bank Street and Harrison Alley. The members then were all young in years, and widely known for their sickness of dress and personal attire. Their annual assembly held in Buckingham Hall, was classed as one of the great events of the dancing season. The hall decorations, arranged by Dallas, under the delft hand and advice of the keen Eddie Real, were never equalled in that time. And Joe Galipeau, from a raised platform on the stage, guided his 20-piece or chestra through some of the finest waltz numbers of the season. Form al dress prevailed throughout. Young fellows of that era always had evening dress as part of their wardrobe, no rented suits for them.
 We have often wondered about the Algonquins, where they are, and just what happened to the or- ganization as a body. They tell us that fire in the building practical ly ruined and destroyed the well furnished rooms around 30 years ago, or so.

BY ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, June 18-(UP)-Peo- pie don't down raw liquor like your great granddaddy did back in 1880, or even like your dad in 1910, but around 55,O00,000 Americans just don't say mo" when someone asks, twill you have nip?"
 Back around 1860, what with the Civil War and all, the average drinker slipped around 1.43 gallons of absolute alcohol from distilled spirits into his tunmy. In 1940 he only mastered 0.49 gallons of the stuff.
 Tn 1910 they could Swig 2h gall Ions of pure panther oil, without blinking an eye, and still ride their bikes.
 Demand Treatment
 Those facts have been gathered by the Public Affairs Committee, a nonprofit organization in Manhat- tan. The committee isn't attempting to tell any man whether or not he should drink. It just wants to put across the idea that alcoholism is definitely a disease, and demands medical treatment before it can be cured"
 Tn fact, as you have suspected if you saw the movie Lost Weekend" " alcoholism is never cured.

Goffey Helped Potion Fool
 SHAEF Staff

New York, June 10.-(UP)- Maj. Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey who was Killed Sunday in Q plane accident, was Q "ring-leader" in the late Gen. George s. Pat- toms personal campaign to fool" the Supreme Allied Com mand during the war.
 0affey, who at that time commanded the famous 4th Arr mored Division, and Patton never believed in letting SHAEF know exactly what they were doing.
 When the 4th made its sweep ing gallop to the Rhine, a United Press reporter asked Gaf- fey:
 General, how much of this can we reveal2 How much do you want to keep from the Ger mans?"
 Gaffey, always dapper and dressed in pink riding pants, grinned. ITO hell with the Ger mans" he said. We're not worried about them. We just don't want SHAET to find out too soon."
 The 4th was afraid 1t might be halted before its mission was accomplished.

Pride Nearly Brings Deoth To Mon. 56

Philadelphia, June 18.-(UP) Edward Buchler worked in a foundry for 38 years. He worked hard, accepting nothing that he didn't work for.
 Bucheler had a fierce pride and two sons. His pride almost caused his death. His sons may help him return to health.
 Sunday, Fathers Day, the 105 pound Buchler awakened in Harnemann Hospital from coma into which he had fallen after not eating for two weeks.
 For two weeks, he ate spar ingly to conserve his small sav- ings. Then he ate nothing. Pride would not permit him to beg, borrow or seek food at any of the Kitchens or charities maintained for the penniless. His pride would not permit him to inform his soldier sons. One is serving in the Philippines. The other is in Europe.
 The 56-year old fathers con- dition is better now. But 1t will be some time before his emaci- ated body will be able to absorb solid foods.

seen in long time. We know Dan Carson is about in some capacity as police officer, but our work in the old buff room in the factory where we are employed, prevents us from even meeting or seeing him. We re- call the others, too, Bill Dunphy, or- iginator of the Stop" sign when he was a police commissioner; later this safety form was adopted by the state motor vehicle bureau; we think of Bill every time we observe one of these signs about town; Ed die Mcdonald, young newspaper reporter when we knew him, but now full fedged lawyer, they tell us; smart fellow was young McDon- aid when we knew him.
 Vince Maloney, John Hayden and Pete Lynch of The Democrat were once kind enough to show us through the entire plant, our first glimpse into the way and manner of publishing a newspaper; Dr. F. J. Brennan just starting out in his great and successful professional career; Jack Lane then with the American Brass Company and his fine brother, Dan, who as a police man lost his life in an accident up Cooke Street way. Ed Fitzgerald, a clever clothing salesman, now at the head of that up to date establish ment commonly known as, Fitz- gerald and Platt; if we could see Ed we'd bet, his dress is just as im- nlaculate as 1t was in the days we have mentioned. Mike Grout Is ar- other living member, active in city health matters for years, a ron- paying job that consumed conSid- erable of his time. Mike we have not seen of late, but true to his word and obligation, we'll wager Mike never in his life betrayed the out standing characteristics of decency that marked his every feature. Good Mike Lawlor and Johnny Lawlor pr. Charley Eagan have since died; others perhaps, too, including Eddie Real, but we wonder about John King and Eddie Keefe, the boy so- prano, in our review of old days at the Algonquin Club, and the hap py and good times we had in at tendance at the annual assembly
 Sam Kemp, good natured as ever
 we know is up Manchester way. Our friend, Dick, now lives down Stamford way. He only gets to Wa terbury, "once in awhile," as he
 says. Dick is just as pleasant and happy in conversation as he was sit- ting back in an easy chair in the
 Algonquin Club of 30 years ago. His greeting is most cordial, and so real and genuine, you know at once that
 sincerity and honesty figures as tn'
 background of 1t all.

Drinking on UpslUing
 Granddad Could Do1Un |LiQuor Without Effect

The average patient, once he has recovered, can no longer drink. If he tries it, just one small Snifter, he usually ends up on four-day bender.
 The experts figure that there're 2,250,00O excessive, or full blast, drinkers in the United with about 750,0O0 chronic alcoholics who can't take their liquor and won't leave 1t alone.
 Billion Down Hatch
 The committee thinks that some study should be made of the prob lem because each year the U. s. drops around $1,000, 100000 a year due to heavy drinking.
 There is an estimated potential wage loss of $432, 100000. Crimes caused by liquor cost the country around $l88, ,000, 900 each year. Hos pital bills and care of hangover patients runs the bill up an added $s9, 100000.
 Furthermore since 1943 there has been a sharp upswing in American drinking. In 1945 an estimated $7,500, 900, ,0O0 was spent on alcoholic beverages-about 5 percent of the national income.
 There are between 5000 and 5000 persons who develop delirium trem-

 Wants Negroes
 Out of Polls

Jackson, Miss, June 1S = (UP) Sen. Theodore Bilbo, O., Miss |, wants his opponents in the Dem- ocratic state primary July 3 to unite with him in efforts to keep Negroes away from the polls.
 In an open letter to his oppo- nents, Bilbo urged that they join with him in asking Negroes to keep out of ''our White Democratic nom- ination primary July g."
 Bilbo said that thousands of Me- groes are registering. These Negroes have no right to and they must not and should not be permit ted to do so."
 Any effort to dodge this issue he said, would be construed as a desire by the candidates to get Negro votes.
 Bilbo made the request in an open letter to the four candidates opposing him-Ross Collins, Tom o. Ellis, Frank Harper and Nelson Levings.

Senatorial Supers This Is How SoIons Stock Up When Viewed Through Glasses of Those Stern Little Critics, the Stenos
By NEA Service


 Washington, June 17 = The grandest guy in the Senate, so say the Senators secretaries, is their own boss. The secretaries handed their bosses the bouquet in a con- fidential poll.
 That doesn't mean that the sec retaries didn't have very definite opinions on other senatorial and senatorial attributes.
 For instance, Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois, despite his 54 years, got the nod as the gentleman with the best figure. Senatorial robes or leopard skins, the ladies thought they'd love him.
 Willard Tydings of Maryland is the most debonair, the secretaries voted, but only 8 little more so than Lucas.
 The girls had hard time agree ing on the most likeable. They had 30 different ansers among the 35 who cost ballots, but Nebraska's s wise-cracking Kansas Wherry won the jolliest classification in a walk away. Next highest was Majority Leader Alben w. Barkley of Ken- lucky.
