The new stretch of concrete road-
way will be opened for traffic in full
width on September 19. according to
figures given out by the Bridgeport
Construction Company to The Even.
ing Sentinel today. This three-
Quarter-mile section will be the full
86 fee tin width all the way. and will
give Darien an all-concrete Post
”walk.
The work will be ‘dona so that two-
road from the Stamford line to Nor-
,way traffic will be maintained at. all
times. At present one-half of the
road bed has been ripped up for al-
most the whole distance. In some
places grades are being taken out of
the road and the now road will be
three feet higher than the old one.
The excavation and grading on the
south side will be all finished in ten
more days and. if the weather holds
lo that the Job can go on schedule,
the first concrete will be poured on
July" 7. The big mixer, once under
way. can lay the two nine-foot strips
on the south side in 10 or 11 days,
Ind will be through by July 113.
traffic will still be maintained on
the,_north side and, for three weeks
more. the concrete will be allowed
to cure. This will throw open half
the concrete road on August 8.
Then traffic will be switched to
the completed half of the road and
Work will begin on the north side.
,and will be all finished with the con-
erete poured on August 20. This
will also be allowed to set and then,
three weeks later, on September 19.
the hew road will be opened for the
full width.
,It is expected that the company
,will be able to keep up with this
Ichedule with a fair break in weath-
er conditions. Tlio same company
did the much larger job, all the way
from Gippert’s to the Stamford line
last year. and finished some few days
.ahead of the schedule.

"Shanghai is not only a great

nearly half the foreign trade of Chl-

are a large number of smaller fac-

"Much of the occidentalization
that has come to China in the past.
half century has filtered through
Shanghai. especially through the
great printing establishment there
which has turned out excellent
translations, into Chinese, of the
literature and ideas of the West.
Shanghai also possesses several dal-
ly newspapers. printed in both for-
clgn and native languages."

Lawyer $1,000 Fee
NEW HAVEN. June zit—(AP),
Allowance of 81,000 for services.
which request had been denied him
by Referee John Keogh of Nerwalk,
was made by Federal Judge Thomas
yesterday to Samuel Reich, of
Bridgeport. attorney for creditors in
the 81,000,000 failure of the Nation-
al Grain Corporation. It is saidthat
this was an unusual incident. Reich
was selected as one of ten to repre-
sent‘more than 800 creditors of the
corporation in this country and
Europe who had clcims exceeding
$500,000. It was agreed that he
should be compensated out of the
estate.
Referee Keogh in denying the re-
quest of Reich said that no petition
for appointment of Reich to repre-
sent any person had ever been filed.
Judge Thomas held that a peti-
tion had been filed, and while the
creditors committee counsel ordin-
arily would be paid by the commit-
tee this was an unusual case by rea-
son "of an atmosphere" fraught with
hostility and clamoring creditors."

HICKORY BLUFF
HERE’S ’NOTHER
000:) ONE FROM
HHHQRR RENEE
Today's best fish story, or, as some
other writers might put it, the su-
perlative in piscatorial narratives.
concerns a 50-lb. striped bass. Al-
though tlic incident happened many
years ago. the proverb says there
are as good fish in the sea as ever
came out—so who knows who
might be the next to land a 50-
pounder.
As everyone knows, the striped
bass run in the fall. ’i‘cn poundcrs
and twenty pounders have been
caught with hook and line, but this
50-pounder was caught without any
hook or line at all.
Many, many years ago, as the
story is told by an old resident near
Cove Pond .a sudden cold snap came
on. with the result that all the
fishes got “chilled." Half numb.
they began to wiggle their way to
open water. The cove had frozen
mer and the only clear spot was
where the fast stream joins the pond
at Miller's bridge. The poor fish
were so numbed. so the story goes.
that they could only look with
dumb appealing eyes at the humans
on the edge of the ice. who took
rakes and pulled them in. The
largest caught .Wclghcd over fifty
pounds.
Needless to say, this story ema-
nates from Hickory Bluff. where alli
good fish tales come from. and
