Pleasant voices and gorgeous gowns with an exquisite back ground setting played an important part in the St Marys Girls Melody Cruise" at Buckingham hall last night. The presentation was witnessed by more than 800 people who were given the imme- diate impression that the high seas are certainly the place to drive away the blues.
 Ably handled under the direction of Skipper Jack Fitzgerald the stage show was easily up to the standard set by the company in past years. Miss Mary Fitzpatrick, hostess of the cruise welcomed the tourists in manner that was be- fitting and friendly, as well as creditable to her organization. The members of the company were elevated in three rows upon the stage with the cast outfitted in white trousers with navy blue blouses. The principals wore beau- tiful evening gowns. One of the most outstanding features on the program was the ability of the chorus and dancers transition from the waves of melody to snappy and colorful dance performance.
 Miss Quilter Features
 Miss Chrys Quilter scored in her rendition of Lonesome For You Caroline" and repeated several en- cores. She was forced to offer "Dinah" and this also made de- cided hit. After holding the spot light for a longer time than is usually the case Miss Quilter was assisted by Director Fitzgerald who surprised the crowd with sev- era1 unusual dance steps.
 Betty Maher presented the "Wine Song" and was also given a won- derful ovation. Miss Maher was

Every year the officer is removed at this year but the community club is go- ing to ask that the officer be re- tained due to the fact that he will be needed to watch the community house. Harold is very popular with the people on the hill and has made a host of friends since he became the officer at the park and everybody will be waiting with in- terest the outcome of the petition.
 Over 400 attended the first dance and get-together given by the club last night which was featured with round and square dancing.

15O Expected Here Tonight E or ( County
 Session At Armory
Seven-POint Program, Oath, Election of Officers to Feature Meeting Appeal Will Be Made to Board of
 Education for Necessary Cooperation

Election of officers and transac- tion of important business will feature the meeting of the New Haven County councily of the Vet. erans of Foreign Wars to be held at the Field street armory to- night at 8 o'clock. The meeting will he called to order by Comman- der James O,Donnell of this city.
 More than 15O delegates from posts throughout the county are expected to attend the session as guests of Wheeler Young post and Lieutenant Shea auxiliary. Elec- tion and installation of officers of the county auxiliary will also be held, and the local women's group will provide refreshments follow ing the ceremonies.
 Although a contest is expected to develop for the post of commander, the name of Fred Burke, past com mander of post 1946 of Naugatuck, has been mentioned during the past week as the most likely choice for the office. Ray Allan of An sonia will probably be elected sem for vice-commander; and a, strong 1 possibility for the post of junior vice-commander is Robert Me-
 
 Point Program
 Action will be taken on two inn portant matters which have re- ceived the indorsement of state and national officials during the past few weeks.
 First is the Seven Point program drawn up by the national organiza- ton and which stresses: uniform pension for the disabled veteran; uniform pensions for widows, mothers and orphans; immediate payment of adjusted compensation; deportation of aliens of Communis- tic inclinations and all those who may be classified as detrimental to the government; conscription of all wealth and capital iii time of war. and it's placement on an equal basis with man power; fed- eral control of all munition plants within the borders of the country; and adequate national defense.
 Of outstanding local interest is the avowed intention of members of the local post to seek action on the recent proposal of the council administration that teachers, be re- quired to take an oath of allegi- ance to the government.
 To Ask Board
 It is probable that a resolution placing responsibility for the suc- cess of the measure directly in the hands of posts in each community will be drawn up. members of the Waterbury post believe, and that the support of the Waterbury
