A. E. Gossclin, secretary of the Bricklayers, Masops and Plasterers’ union in Bristol, unearthed an in- teresting fact recently while poring through the records of the organiza- tion. Let Mr. ‘Gosselin tell it in his own words: “As I was looking over our old records 1 ran across an old union | card of a man who was New Brit- | ain’s former mayor and at present the nomince for county sheriff, An- | zelo M. Paonessa. “Bristol had the honor of initia- ting him on August 7. 1905, as a | bricklayer and mason. He was initi- ated by Fred Miller. who is now {president of Local No. & of New Britain.” The majority of New Britain resi- dents arc familiar with Paonessa’s climb from the bottom of the ladder. And that is no mere figure of speech because he was actually 4 mason's helper and his job required him to climb up ladders many times daily. Mr. Gosselin's revelation is doubly iteresting because climbing a lad- | der as a youth seems to have become | a political habit of later years. Pao- nessa is still on the ladder.

Albie Booth bLurst upon the collegiate football horizon last fall, blossoming into full glory in the very first game, and since that notable day a Yale game has never been dull. Booth seems to be equipped with everything a field general and ball-carrier should lave—brains, nerve, poise,” speed, agility, and a never-say-die spirit. Not heavy enough to be clumsy, he still has just enough weight to use it properly when applied all at once in the proper place. Needing, there- fore, a much smallér hole to squirm through than a bigger or less aglle back would, Booth knifes through where most would fail, and once past the line he is a demoniac whirl- ing dervish that cannot be tackled and can be stopped only through the combined efforts of a large pro- portion of the opposing team. His broken fleld running is of a marvelous type all his own — he doesn't scem to sidestep would-be tacklers but just keeps going on and |leaves them baffled by his twinkling legs. ~Time and again piles of three opponents plunk ludicrously on the turf while Albie goes on untouched, and even after he is pulled down he is usually found sitting on his tackler. man rum His start, Seldom docs one sec a punts back as does Booth. is particularly miraculous.
