Sally Rand.s mother wanted her famous 'fan-dancing daughter tc become, of all thing, a missionary
 But, though she has strayed far from her mothers ambitions, she has won parental approval.

 When, as a yOungster, Sally in- sisted upon theatrical career, her mother put no obstacles in her path. "I don't believe a mother has any right to make her children unhappy" Mrs. Kisling declares.
 Long before she ever presented the fan dance, I had seen her do- ing ballet and other dances. Nat urally I was shocked when I first learned of the fan dance presenta- tion. But somehow the shock couldn't erase my conviction that my dar"N'or would never do a vulgar thing.

M. A. DONATIONS
 MAY START AGAIN
Resumption Recommended
 at Executive Meeting- Drive Suggested

Resumption of the collection of contributions to the Mutual Aid was recommended yesterday after noon at meeting of the executive committee of the organization. It was voted to ask John A. Coe president of the Waterbury Mutt ual Aid, Inc, to call meet ing of the entire personnel of the corporation officers for the purpose of studying the matter.
 Not only will the collection of contributions be resumed on the pledges now in effect, which do not expire until May 1st, but drive for new pledges will be launched if the corporation as a whole ac- ceDts the recommendation of the executive committee. The drive for new pledges will begin on or about April 1st so that when the pres ent pledges expire on May 1st the new ones will be ready to go into effect immediately.
 The collection of weekly contri- buttons on the current pledges was temporarily suspended few weeks ago when 1t appeared that the CWA was relieving the Mutual Aid off much of it's burden. However the CWA forces are now being. cut weekly and the men dropped from the federal payroll must go back on the Mutual Aid list. Of course only the most needy cases will be put on the Mutual Aid. Neverthe- less, a gradual increase in the Mutual Aid list is expected weekly from poW Op nn1oSS tho proci6ant's new federal relief plan. designed to take the place of the CWA, proves itself equal to the task of keeping the large army of unemployed go- ing.

EVANS SCORES IN
 WATERBURY DEBUT
American Baritone Pleases in Last Community Con=
 cert Last Night

Wilbur Evans, American bari tone. was the artist in the final concert of the Community Concert series held last night at Bucking- ham hall. The young singer re- ceived and merited the most gen. erous applause of a large and ap- preciative audience. There was no little enthusiasm in his final rem dition of the ever popular negro spiritual type song. "De Glory Road" which brought forth the strength and vigor of the singers range and dramatic powers.
 Mir Evans travelled to his pres ent success as a concert singer and as an artist with a brilliant future through the radio, winning in an Atwater-Kent radio addition in which many singers contested. His voice is well placed. has power. and shows considerable care in ap- plication to study. Likewise his style is good. His program was conventional and varied including some German lieder of Brahms and Schubert, two arias, old Eng fish ballads, and selections of mod crn composers. He was capably accmompanied hy Earl Beatty.
 Among his German songs were two Schubert numbers. An die Musik." and Der Doppelganger,' the former more or less familiar the latter not so often heard. His Brahms selections were the always liked "VerSeblishes Standchen." and Der Schm,ed.' MT Evans sang these numbers with a nice style.
 In his opening group the artist presented an aria from Handefs opera "Orlando." Also in this group of songs was included "Tell Me Not of Lovely Lass" an old English ballad by Cecil Forsythe, and Dr Thomas Arne's air from Milton's "Comus." His opening group was more or less distin- guished by a choice of rare songs not so frequently used by concert singers.
 In his singing of "Eri Tu' from Verdi's Masked Ball." MT Evans displayed a fine dramatic feeling for his text and sang with power and a nice flowing tone.
 Among his songs in his fourth group were the words of an old poem set to music by Grenville Bantock, "The Celestial Weaver" My Lady Walks in Loveliness" by Ernest Charles, "The Hand Or gan Man" by Jacques Wolfe. and the inspired "Song of the Bow" very inspiring and very British. MT Evans concluded his program with several songs of very contrasting nature. the already mentioned "De Glory Road by Wolfe, Hip Li, the Rickshaw Man" by Kath- leen Lockhart Manning, and "Shoes" by the same composer, and a rather characteristic num- bcr entitled "Vodvil." modern treatment of the general vaude- vile program, which was an effec- tive piece and well interpreted.
 MT Evans jo,ns the ranks of other noted baritopes with much in his favor, as to style, taste in selections. good tone and person. aEty. His program last night more than pleased his audience. Last nights concert was the last of the ] Community concerts this season. 1.

Industrial Leaders Here Lauded By Cloth
Archbishop John C. Murray Pays Tribute to Wealthy
 Business Men in San Francisco Interview

Present industrial leaders of Waterbury have been reared in an atmosphere of sympathy for the working man by being sent into the factory on the completion of their college careers, Archbishop John Gregory Murray, 8 native of this city, intimated in an interview granted recently in San Francisco.
 Thanks to d former Waterburian Mrs William Hespalt, the Demo- crat tonight reprints a story from "The Monitor" the official organ of the archdiocese of San Francis co. It deals with tribute the archbishop paid to the beauty Of the state of California Catholic Action and his comments on sev- eral other subject, which his local friends will read with intereet.
 The interview was obtained while Archbishop Murray was the guest of Most Reverend Edward J. Han ma, D. D., archbishop of California. The article stated that the distin- guished visitor from the east was en route to Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Panama, Colombia and the Caribeaon sea. One of two articles appearing in "The Moni- tor" read as fellows:
 "The Most Reverend John Greg ory Murray, $. T. D., Archbishop Of St Paul, after a short visit in san Francisco, has returned castwards to tell all his old friends that he and they have wasted their lives living in the East instead of in California. He said: II have look ed down from mountain over the Bay of Naples, l have looked down from a mountain over Bar Harbor, but I know that nothing in this world compares to the view from Twin Peaks in San Francis

Scout News


 The effort to raise the full quota of $16,00O to carry on local Boy and Girl Scout activities will be continued, it has been decided by the committee in charge. When the campaign proper came to a close the sum pledged was S11,- 629. more than $4,000 short of the goal.
 Campaign workers will continue to follow up cards on which they have received no reports and they will cndeavor to reach persons who were not solicited in the drive.
 The sum sought is the absolute minimum with which the two councils can carry on regular ac- tivities. It is the lowest amount asked for in q number of years and is the result of the lowering of the budgets of both groups.

Don't Quote Me
(By United Prcss)

Washington, March 3.--(UP)- Washington is such beautiful city that it's habitants have been late to work for a week. The connection between civic beauty and late arriving clerks is simple:
 The city fathers don't want any telephone poles marring the boule- wards. So the street cars have an underground trolley arrangement whereby an electric shoe runs along slot between the rails. When snow gets in these slots. the circuits become short -circuited and the street cars stop.
 Sudden .stoppage of cars at strategic corners and on the rims of the capitals celebrated circles soon piles automobile and bus traf- fic in jams such as the lucky resi- dents of New York, Chicago and other large cities never have exper- fenced. .
 The post office department has issued an official order to all it's rural mail carriers instructing them them to carry bird seed on their rounds and to distribute it for the benefit of snow-bound birds. ...
 The prices of newly legalized liquor in Washington arc consid- erably cheaper than the price for similar brands at dispensaries in nearby Maryland. The dealers in tho Iaftar rQpfOp announce that they will reduce prices drastically to meet the capitals competition.
 That leads to. the hope of cer- tain optimists that an endless chain system is about to develop, lower- ing whiskey prices the country over, they argue.
 If some Maryland dealers slash prices, all dealers in the. state will have to do likewise. If all Mary land prices are low, then dealers along the borders of Pennsylvania and Welaware will have to revise their price tags That will bring lower prices in the interiors of those states and then in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
 With a start like that the theor- izers figure that the wage of lower liquor prices easily could go from coast to coast within a few months.
 N. B. brandy which sells for $4.5O a bottle in Maryland costs $3.75 in Washington. Whiskey which costs $2.9O in Maryland sells for 40 cents less than that in the capital.

IN NRA
ARE REGARDED
AS CERTAIN
By DUNCAN FORSYTH


Reorganization Of NRA as a re-
suit Of the field day for critics"
and the meeting Of code authori-
ties the first three days Of this
week Is accepted as certain. but
its full scope is not yet evident,
though some features are rapidly
taking form.
A campaign to put over the
"Code Eagle" along lines similar
to those which were used in popu-
larizing the original Blue Eagle,
is obviously in the offing, and
Charles F. Horner, Liberty Loan
publicity man, who put over the
first Eagle drive, has been
called to direct it.
Henderson Appointed
Appointment Of. Leon B. Hen.
derson as chief Of the division Of
research and planning is regarded
as even more significant. He came
into the organization in connec-
ton with consumers activities,
and it appears fairly clear that
his job will be to plan control Of
production in such fashion that
wages and prices may advance in
orderly fashion.
The research and planning divis-
ion, originally expected to be one
of the most vital features Of NRA,
has not accomplished much thus
far, and the selection of a chief
prominently identified with con-
sumers' activities, in conjunction
with the repeated assertions Of
business leaders that they cannot
advance wages and prices further
because Of consumer resistance, is
taken to indicate that NRA efforts
will be directed largely toward
maintaining a balance between
production and consumption.
Personnel Grows
MIRA personnel continues to
grow, and all indications are that
it will expand further. Building
up Of the labor and consumer &C.
tivities is regarded as assured.
The meeting of Secretary Dan
lei c. Roper's business advisory
council, adjunct of the Depart
ment Of Commerce, closes today,
following Immediately the final
conference of code authorities.
