Aw'n Conn. WKDXE8DAY, FKBBUABV 5. For A Fuller Measure Legislation intended to pi-ovule the construction of an armory in gatnck has l)con prosoiito.l to the General Assembly for action. Any opposition the hill may moot is not expected to lie ol' loc-nl origin. As matter the effort to appropriate $272,000 for const met ion of for Company (Joimecticnt National moots with approval I'rom all concerned here, so far as is known.

And why-not? There will bo no expense involved on the part, of the bor- onu-h, and Ihoro is a possibility that the proposod drill shod may be made available for public functions, social and nth-, Iftic, aside from activities of tlio National (inard. Tin- drill shod will be slightly smaller tluin that of the armory, where the Xmi.n-atuck High School basketball team has boon forced this year 10 play its important home Barnes because of the lack of suitable facilities in Xaugatnck for the purpose. An armory here undoubtedly would be made avail- for similar purposes, provided there was no conflict or interference with the military program for which the structure is primarily intended, Whatever restrictions might hr placed on its use for functions other than military, any privileges extended in the interest of local sports and social programs would be an improvement over present conditions. But at best the armory will not filr" the need that is Nmigatnek's for community center the primary purpose of which Avi'll be just that and nothing other. All support and encouragement possible should be given sponsors of the armory plan, luit not with the mistaken notion that it will be the answer to a need that too-long existed.

There is grofit danger that in the early flushes of enthusiasm over tin- armory, too little thought will be given the complexities that could arise should the military suddenly find that any exigency precluded use of tlio building for anything but stricfly military purposes. And that, could happen. Crazy Driving The automobile, it is hardly necessary to say, was devised for the comfort and convenience of mini, but hasn't alto- kether turned out that way. Recoil reports give appalling evidence of the havoc wrought on the highways by need- speed and criminal carelessness. One of the greatest blessings and comforts of mankind is changed, far too often, into a peril and a curse.

Irresponsibility and arrogance on the highways has almost reached the limit of legal and moral endurance, Lately many of the citie? and states are showing tendency to turn hard- boiled This is good as far as it goes, but irregular crack-downs seldom last long or do much good. The job calls for steady and persistent operation and relentless observance of the law. One city recently reported eighty-one auto crashes in twelve hours.

Around The Clock Congratulations to our circulation manager Harold Dillon, who observed his birthday yesterday it was an anniversary for another member oJ' The News staff, who marked two years yesterday in the borough. While chowders are considered typical American dishes, they were first cooked by the fisherfolk of Brittany. Villagers would bring- contributions of fish to a dinner and add them to the common cauldron.

The name "chowder" stems from chaudiere, the cauldron. Early American colonists first learned about the dish from the French, and so chowders are associated with the history of New England. Nangjitnck merchants are to be commended for their response ill donating merchivndi.se for benefit affairs. Tuesday night saw contributions from businessmen for the March of Dimes auction, and Thursday night will see more gifts from storekeepers being sold at the Veterans of Foreign Wars "Country Store" for the benefit of the VFW National Foundation. Harry Michaels, prominent jeweler of these parts, postcards from Houston, Texas, where he reports life is very pleasant, Firemen responded with their usual fine spirit to the appeal for aid in connection with the March of Dimes.

A moving- job from the Connecticut Light Power Co. to the Salem Playhouse, scene of The News auction, was handled efficiently by Capt. Jim Grant and John Moroney. And they were on tap at the auction, with Fire Chief John J. Sheridan, and Firemen Francis Galvin and Edward Galvin to assist in the conduct of the program.

Hemy Bag-ley's wound, smack in the middle'of his nose, is slowly healing. Henry has quite an explanation of how he was injured. Ruth and Pete Platt, Madison avenue, New York, frequent visitors to the borough, are making plans for spending their summer vacation in Naugatuck. Mrs. Platt is the former Ruth Richards.

Attorney Thomas Noary could have, used a pair of colored glasses in borough court the other day. A rolled-tip window shade was letting the sun's rays hit Attorney Ncary in the eyes. So the prosa- cutor climbed up on the window sill to unroll the shade. No go. The shads remained up.

And sun beams kept flooding the court room. John S. Downs celebrates his 25th anniversary with the United States Rubber Company Footwear plant Friday.

Mildred. offering one of the great character performances in Lillian Hcllman's "Another Part of the Forest," was approached by Herman Shumlin to play Birdie in the other play of the same sage, "The Little Foxes."
