Rehabilitation
 Legion Objective
Coming Session of Congress to Get Comprehensive
 Resolution on Referendum Early in December

selected by the national executive committee at its closing session at national headquarters.
 Other recommendations of the national convention will constitute the general legislative program.
 Amendments Urged
 The amendments to the World War veterans act, besides out-pa- tient treatment, that have been placed on the major list follow:
 Energetic opposition to all ef- forts to insert "pauper" or need" clauses in any existing or future legislation affecting veterans or their dependents. There has been a tendency on the part of the vet erans' administration to have such clauses inserted in legislation.
 The proposed out-patient treat ment would be for the so-called "202-10" clas sof veterans, that section of the act to be amended to provide such medical treatment for honorably discharged veterans of any war, regardless of their disabilities being connected with war service.
 A time limit to July 3, 1941, be made in which the marriage in World war cases may occur and make the widow eligible for an award if otherwise entitled.
 Strike out the "wilful miscon- duct" clause.
 That section 19 of the act be amended so as to remove the time limit for bringing suits on insur- ance claims. .
 National Defense
 Int national defense part of the national executive committees ac- ton reads:
 "That the national defense pro- gram adopted by the American Le- zion at Detroit be urged before the coming session of Congress-; that the national legislative committee oppose any reduction in oppropria- tions for the Army, National Guard, R. o. T. C., c. M. T. C., and the Organized Reserves; and that the committee urge upon Congress the completion of the Navy building program, in accordance with the maximum requirements permitted under the London Treaty"
 Prohibition
 .. That part of the action relating to prohibition reads:
 That the national legislative committee present to the proper committees of Congress for their consideration the resolutionadopted at the Detroit convention, favoring the submission of the question of the repeal or modification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the voters of the several states"

CHICAGO CIVIC
 OPERA OPENS
 MINUS GARDEN
Seven Brilliant American Sopranos Scheduled for
 Performances

Chicago, (UP)-Without Mary Garden, "Our Mary" as Chica- goans call her, for the first time since its inception, the Chicago Civic Opera Is in the first week of its new season in its 44-story Tenn pie of Music.
 Partly to fill the void left by the colorful Mary and partly in hope they may become brilliant stars in their own right, seven young American sopranos have been en- gagged.
 The snew American singers in- clude Rose Barrons, Wilma Boni- field, Marie Buddy, s erafina al Leo, Lydia Mihm and Leola Tur- ner, sopranos, and Helen Ornstein, mezzo-soprano.
 Four are expected to sing lead ing roles. Two of the group have been studying in Europe on schol- arships given by the civic opera organization. In the entire com- pany, 22 out of 63 singers are Americans and the new group of singers contains more American talent than any prior season, the company announced.
 Novelties include "L'Oracolo," a thriller" laid in San Francisco's Chinatown. The composer. Franco Leoni, took the plot from a popu- lar short story, "The Cat and the Cherub." Others are "The Magic Flute" and Mona Lisa," presented for the first time in Chicago.
 Revivals are Massenet's Hero diade," Wagnerf's "Parsifal" and Andrea Chenier."
 Mary Garden will sing again in Chicago. But not at the opera house, which her vast following among Chicago's music lovers helped to build. She will appear in concert at the old Orchestra hall, November g.

Merchants Benefit By Annual Game Between Yale and
 Traditional Rival, Princeton

1 of thrills to them, regardless of the outcome.
 Last evening the advance guard of rooters arrived in Waterbury and proceeded to make themselves comfortable and happy. A special dinner dance was held at The El- ton. This evening another dinner dance will be staged at the same hotel, while special dinner party will be the attraction at Hotel Wa terbury.
 The advance orders for floral acc cessories has been very gratifying to local florists and also indicates popular interest here. The game was originally the last contest of the year scheduled for the Yale bowl, but on Saturday, December 9th four collegiate teams will stage an exhibition for the unemployed fund. It will bring together Yale, Dartmouth, Brown and Holy Cross. It will be a bargain afternoon for the fans.
 Princeton's poor showing on the gridiron this year has actually robbed to-morrow's contest of con- siderable general public interest, but as there will be plenty of for mer STdQuaIeS III eVlueHCe lL IS eX- pected that traffic will be heavy in this city before and after the game.
 Superintendent Joseph H. Me- Lean has arranged to have all in- tersections along the main streets we'll policed. Patrolmen will be stationed at various traffic points along South Main and East Main streets and in the vicinity of The Elton.
 Parking restrictions on South Main street will be more rigidly en- forced to-day to prevent any seri- ous compositions. Extra policemen will be stationed along South Main street to avoid tie-ups between Grand and Meadow streets and Grand street and Exchange place.
 So were it not for the "hunch" that something is likely to happen to-day's game would be an ordi- nary social gathering with Yale playing host for some youngsters who found playing football more difficult this year than crashing a final '"exam."

Col. Donovan Praises
 Girl Scout Training
World War Hero, Former Commander of New YOrk's
 Famous l65th, Claims Organization Ideal

lThe formal training of the school and the influence of the home are not sufficient, in the opinion of Colonel William J. Donovan, to equip girl to meet the demands of contemporary life.
 "Modern life," Colonel Donovan said, "has become increasingly complex. Not only our nation but the world is more closely knit. As a result the individualism of the pioneer days Is disappearing, and the individual is becoming depen- dent upon the group.
 "Traditionally and historically girls have not been trained to par ticipate in games and sports which develop the idea of team play and a proper balance in the relation ship of the individual to the team"
 Girls must have such training now, and the best way for them to get it, Colonel Donovan thinks, is through such a movement as Girl Scouting.
 Colonel Donovan, former com mander of New York's famous 165th regiment, and holder of the Congressional Medal of Honor, has been taking an active part in the formation of the Girl Scout Fed eration of Greater New. York.
 Girl Scouting to my mind," he explained, lis peculiarly suited to give girls just the equipment they need to fit them for contemporary life. The organization of the troops, the ideals of order, the methods of Scout life provide well balanced training. The Scout troop plan gives the individual girl sense of duty, a consciousness of ability, an ideal of courage and a recognition of the necessity that, while she must serve in group, she must retain her individulity as human being."
 Colonel Donovan believes that the Girl Scout movement has pass ed beyond the period of experiment and definitely proved its effective ness in meeting a great social need.
 There are people today" he said, .'who say that, due to the cur rent depression and the many de- mands for charity work, all else

"Old Man Hunch" may be a very unreliable character, but neverthe- less he's trying to do his bit to make Waterburians and Waterbury establishments see the silver lin- ing these days. On the strength of a feeling, alias "hunch" that the sturdy sons of Old Nassau might accomplish the unexpected to-day and give Yale a stiff battle for honors in their classic meet at the bowl, hundreds are planning to be on hand for the struggle. What records point to as mere exercise for Yale to win may develop into one of the games that will have the fans talking about in years to come. Princeton usually gives Yale a staff game and on the basis of this feeling alone has been built considerable sentiment for to-mor- rows battle.
 Scores of Waterbury fans plan to attend the game. anticipating the unexpected, but hundreds of former students of both Yale and Princeton are travelling miles to view the contest. It will be a game
