sion of the last few years, and we have seen the ready re- sponse of the Red Cross to meet those needs. The organ ( ization's program is so flexible that it meets emergencies and disasters of all kinds; it has also a permanent structure that is being built up year by year, to study means through which epidemics and disasters may be prevented. This com- munity needs the permanent structure of the Red Cross as it needs the expert service which is at our command to meet whatever emergencies the coming year may bring.
 q therefore call upon for mer members of the Red Cross to renew their membership during the roll call this year, and urge those who have nev- CT hitherto been members to enroll their names with those who are fighting disease and disaster and need under the banner of the American Red Cross"

 The tremendous industrial, agri- | cultural and cultural improve ments in the Soviet Union will be
 stressed by the speakers, and will
 be compared with the decline in industry and agriculture and de- generation of culture> and educa-

 The Soviet Union will be pointed

October Business Conditions Here Quite Heartenina
Statewide Drive Opens
 For Increased Grants
Through Legislation City May Obtain Additional ~.
 lowance of $6O,OOO for Education Meetings Here

An intensive drive to arouse public interest in an educational program which will prove bene- ficial to all of the larger cities of the state, and will increase the annual grant to Waterbury by ap- proximately $60.O00 will be launched next week by the state board of education.
 The first of a series of eight meetings to be held through the for Monday night at the State Teachers college in New Britain, when N. s. Light, director of the Bureau of Field Service of the board of education will explain the ambitious program proposed by the board, and which, it is hoped, will meet with the approval of the coming session of legislature.
 State Teachers Approve
 Success or failure of the plan, it is claimed, will depend largely or the amount of support given by the boards of education in each community. The project already has the approval of the State Teachers association, and other teachers groups.
 Affecting 169 towns and cities, the new program, among other in- novations, suggests an increase of $2.50 in the state grant per pupil, doubling the amount now allotted. If approved, the increase in the allotment for this city, figured on a per capita basis, would be ap- proximately $60,000.
 Only 9 towns in the state would lose by the new measure, and most of these are purely residential communities where the decrease in funds would work no great hardship, it is claimed.
 Meeting Here
 The local meeting will be held Wednesday night at 7:30 o'clock in Crosby high school, at which time MT Light will be present t1 outline the proposed legislation to Superintendent of Schools Thom- as J. Condon and members of the board of education.
 Further meetings will be held at Norwalk, Danielson, New Ha- ven, Willimantic, New Milford and New London, all within the next two weeks. It is believed that Ii the proposal meets with the

torney John w. Davis Of New ork was the democratic prcs- idental candidate.
 Attorney Davis received the presidential nomination in Madison Square Garden in New ork after the memorable deadlock between former Gov ernor Alfred E. Smith and U. $. Senator William G. Me- Adoo. He was a member or tIS Smith forces in the last na- tional democratic convention. He was aligned with the "old guard of Connecticut who, ap- Darcntly. were swept to control of the Nutmeg State democra- tic affairs in Tuesdays ballot ing. Following the rally in Waterbury in the 1924 cam- paign he was entertained by the local democratic leaders at the Elton. Ex-Mayors Martin Scully and Francis F. Guilfoile were present.
 ACCOTulHS tO HutlOuui AN ports,, few politicians staged a comeback in Tuesdays voting. Nevertheless, several democra. tic organizations in various To- calitics of Connecticut staged come backs and surprised the E. o. D. WallingfOrd, Avon and Old SaybrOok were among the banner leaders in this group.
 Now that Congressman Francis T. MalOney is the U. $. senatOr-clcct, there are several democrats of Mcriden seeking the pOstmastership Of the Silver City. Meriden is the hometown of Senator Elect MalOncy. The term of the in- cumbent. James J. Fitzpatrick, republican, expires on Fcbru- aPy 1st, 1888. This means that Congressman MalOney, while a member of tlie upper branch of Congress, will have plenty of time to figure out who to give the job to.
 Reports today indicated that Peter J. CoOmbs, member of the Meriden board of public safety, and Frank w. Krac- mer, superintendent of the Sil- yer City department of public welfare and chairman of the democratic town committee, had the inside track. The sal- ary of tn; Mcridcn postmaster is $500 annually. 1t varies with the receipts of the office but the average Is this and it many times goes over the $4,OO mark as receipts increase.
 Hartford election officials have already gone on record as considering changes for the states new absentee voting law. Now New London has come through with the report that it's officials are also cOn- sidering action along similar line. 1t is claimed in both towns that some of the clauses are ambiguous. Waterbury had some trouble concerning ab- sentce ballotlpg but the ques- ton was not brought to head. It Is conceded that there will be amendments to the absen- tee voting law in tile 1885 ses- sion.

 He stated the idea has been ly- ing dormant during the past few weeks, due to election hustle and the fair sponsored by the Blessed Sacrament church.
