Among the honors conferred upon
the late Sergeant Boiko were the
Distinguished Service Cross for
Bravery while performing near
Marcheville, France on September
26th, 1918, he volunteered to flank
a machine gun which halted the
advance of Ills company. Although
under intense fire and utterly dis
regarding his own danger, he crawl
ed out from under the lines and
made his way to a favorable posi
tion from which he silenced the
guns and captured several of the
crew that operated them.
Deeds of Valor
An absolutely fearless soldier,
Sergeant Boiko at another time re
ceived the highest award of the
French government. While at Cha
teau Thierry in broad daylight when
troop advancement was halted by
enemy machine guns, he secured
three volunteers and approached a
grain field where he located his as
sistants with bayoneted rifles while
he himself continued alone to the
scene of the gun nest. An expert
with the hand grenade he com
manded the surrender of the for
tress pointing to his comrades near
by whom he said represented an en
tire company. The surrender of the
fort netted 19 prisoners who were
surprised to learn that they had
been victimized by a single soldier
who menaced them with a hand
grenade.
His will be the first body sent to
Arlington cemetery from Water
bury and it is expected that his
grave will be visited in the national
cemetery by local visitors in tribute
to his record.

DRIVER ADMITS
VEHICLE ERROR
New Havener’s Frankness
Impresses Judge and
Costs Remitted
A New Haven driver who freely
admitted that lie was in the wrong
was fined $5 and costs with the
costs remitted on a charge of vio
lating the rules of the road by Judge
Edward Mascolo in city court today.
He was Prank Miller, 56, of 840
Olean avenue, New Haven, who told
the court “whatever the officer says
is all right with me.”
The officer was Patrolman Mat
thew Guarinl, who arrested Miller
on West Main street yesterday
when the man pulled out of line to
pass a trolley car on the left side.
Patrolman Guarinl said traffic was
heavy, and that other cars had
stopped, waiting for the trolley to
proceed.
“It was Just an error in judg
ment on my part,” Miller said. "If
the officer says I was wrong, I must
have been wrong, that's all.”
Evidently Impressed with Miller’s
frankness, a contrast to the testi
mony usual in such cases, Judge
Mascolo imposed the $5 fine with
the costs remitted.

New Italian Choir
To Present Concert
200 Voices, 75-Piece Band to Feature at Bucking
ham Hall May 3—Rev. Joseph Valdambrini Leader
Sunday evening. May 3. at 8:15,
the newly organized Italian choir
will make its debut in Buckingham
hall.
The Italians' of Waterbury have
deeply felt for years the lack of a
musical organization of singers and
players to keep high the traditions
of the artistic temperament of their
race. The concert given a few years
ago for the benefit of the unem
ployed showed very clearly this de
fection. While several groups pre
sented very fine numbers of their
national reportoire, the Italians as
a unit were absent. And still the
directory of the union of musicians
in Wateroury nears tne names oi
more than one hundred Italian
music teachers: the church choirs
ind minstrel shows,accept the co
operation‘of Italian singers; and
there are four Italian bands and
half a dozen Italian orchestras.
The drive for the benefit of the
Italian Red Cross suggested the Idea
of forming a large Italian choral
society; It would be a source of great
profit for the drive and become the
first step to a permanent organiza
tion of an Italian choral asosciatlon.
All the bandmasters and orches
tra leaders, without a single excep
tion, accepted wholeheartedly the
plan: the general program was dis
cussed In two meetings, early In Feb
ruary. A circular letter was sent to
260 prospective singers, and re
hearsals began the last Sunday in
February. Since then, seven re
hearsals have been held, with two
more to come before the concert.
The choir will be ready to present a
fine concert Sunday, May 3 at Buck
ingham hall with a choir of 200
voices and a band of 75 pieces.
The concert will toe different in
many ways from the concerts given
in this city. It will not be a min
strel show, nor a series of numbers
sung by one or several soloists: it will
be strictly choral work with the ac
companiment of brass instruments.
The choral numbers are selected
from Italian operas. They will be
four: Grand March of Aida, full
choir of six voices: the Prayer in
Forza del Destino, male choir of
four voices and soprano solo: the
Crusader Song in Lombardi, full
choir of six voices: Grand Finald of
Ernanl, full choir of six voices and
baritone solo. The bands will ac
company these selections.
The bands will also play, alter
nating with the choruses, four
grand numbers: Overture of William
Tell; Fantasia and second act of
Rigoletto; Itallana in Algeri; Over
ture of Barber of Seville.
Those familiar with operatic
music will readily see what an ex
ceptionally rich program will be pre
seated. *.acn oi uie iout bcicc
:ions played by the bands would fill
up a concert, with the addition of a
lew smaller numbers.
The four parts of the concert will
be directed in succession b ythe four
band masters. Alfonso Ortone, Rocco
Pagano, George Gentile and Cosmo
Vendetti. Rev. Joseph Valdambrlnl
will be choir leader.
Immediately after the choir and
band concert, the combined Italian
orchestras will play some popular
airs arranged by Prank Romano.
The music lovers of Waterbury
will certainly enjoy the concert and
give their approval and good wishes
to the new Italian Choral associa
tion.
Tickets are on sale at the follow
ing music stores: Barbieri Bros.,
DeVito and McCoy.
