BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 8.-While the
number Of buyers here at the start Of
this week was above the previous week,
It was somewhat below expectations.
Opinion was that . number Of the
buyers had delayed their trips until
next week, when the convention Of the
National Retail Dry Goods Association
opens here.
Consumer response to January sales
offerings has been better than antici-
pated in many sections Of the country,
1t Is reported. Mail orders also have
been rather heavy.
While conceding that demand for
percales has improved since the first
Of the year, converters are understood
to feel that there is no immediate
reason for an advance In quotations.
According to estimates submitted at
the annual meeting Of the Association
of Manufacturers Representatives
here, sales of all types of nationally
known fodo products showed an aver
age increase Of 10 per cent in volume
last year.

Il Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK, January 8.-Record-
breaking attendance during the first
two days Of the local automobile show
promises q brisk upturn in January
motor sales over those a year ago, ac-
cording to sales managers Of motor
manufacturing companies. (
Pointing out that dealers throughout
the country have contracted, to buy
from factories 80 to 35 per cent more
cars than in 1884, these sales man
ayers asserted that deliveries, barring
unexpected labor troubles, would be
much earlier this year.
Stepping up Of production has not
been hampered by strikes as 1t was
in 1884, with the result that January
production schedules will exceed those
Of last January. This ought to be good
news to many unemployed. since the
motor industry employs, directly and
indirectly, about 10 per cent Of the
gainfully employed workers in this
country.
Models being displayed here will be
put on exhibition throughout the
country in the next few weeks. The
machines shown are standard products
right of the assembly line and not
handmade. jobs" built specially for
show purposes. excepting the very
high-priced models in which CUSTOM
making" always plays a large part.
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Grand Rapids
and Los Angeles now are holding
shows. Newark, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Detroit, Milwaukee and Washington
will open their shows next Saturday.
Philadelphia, Brooklyn and other
centers will open shows next Monday.
Toledo will open January 18 and
Columbus, Ohio, January 10. The auto
shows in Canada parallel those in the
United States. as the manufacturers
there agreed on a change in merchan-
dising policy which permits national
release of new models at the same
time.

 Varanelli- Community Club Lacks Support
BROOKLYN NEWS

Members and friends of St. Pat rick's Holy Name society gathered for their annual outing at Schon- er's Grove on Ch1pman street ex- tension Sunday and the affair was under these auspices in years. Those in attendance were sur- prised to find that the committee had arranged a varied program that was interesting from morning until night. Wide comment was heard about the grove on the din- ner prepared by Cyril Dunphy and Joseph Bowen who made 1t a point to see that there was plenty of food available at all times. Before and after the din- ner there were sandwiches of practically every description and refreshments. James Cawett super vised the refreshment division.
 One of the features of the day was the upset of the single men in soft ball game. Frank Hardy explained the married men while Billy King was in charge of the Benedicts. The score at the con- clusion of the game was 10-S. Patsy Garvey pitched the entire contest for the winners, and their most reliable man at bst was Will liam Keller, veteran ball player. Rev. William Wirkus and Captain King took part in the lineup of the single men and their activi- ties were curtailed early in the contest. Frank Kerner officiated

 Community Club Exit
 Harmony reigned at a meeting of the Brooklyn Community Club last night. The organization, for merly known as the Brooklyn Community Political club, faltered sadly in its efforts to reorganize after being at ease during the summer months. Featured at last nights meeting were two checker games with the remaining two members present standing by. Six persons constituted the total at- tt..dance.
 The meeting scheduled for last night was supposed to have been the making or breaking of the club which was disguised as being for the welfare of the community while leaders sought to better their own standing with the ad- ministration and Republican party in particular. Today in political circles the club was referred to as Q "dead soldier" The club was founded last spring and efforts were made at once for individual advancement with political lead. CTS being informed that the club would swing the 11th and 18th, districts the other way if recog. hilton was not granted. sBoth ma jor parties were given to under stand that the clubs support was needed In order to have any chance at all on next election day. Members who entered the club with good intentions soon realized that there was too much politics and they withdrew their member ship applications.

 The Clairmonts and Acmcs made applications for membership into the Brooklyn YMCA inter- club circle at meeting of the club officials held at the sectional hut last night. Action will be talk. en on the applications at a later date. Frank Berardi and George Berardi were appointed to inves- tigate the standing of the clubs at the beginning of the coming sea- son.

Welcome! Old Sol
 Returns To Duty

Waterburians crancd their heads in amazement this morn- ing as they left their homes. It appeared that a phenom- enon had occurred, for there in the heavens was a shiny, rather brilliant spot.
 "Hey, ma, what's that?" asked innumerable children, pointing upwards.
 "Say, what is that anyway" asked pedestrians to one an- other.
 Then one man with a good memory supplied the answer. "Why," he cried, "that must be the sum-"
 "The sun?" asked others dOubtfully, and scratched their heads. Then they remem- bered that once 1t was the usual thing to see in Water- bury during the daytime.
 Sure enough, that's just what it was-the sun. looking just the same as 1t did when 1t left Waterbury ages ago.
 F. S.-For the record, today has been the first fair day since Sept. 1. Since that time, the sun had been out for glimpses a few times, but that was all. In the first 10 days of September, there have been eight rainy days. The other two were unseasonably cold.

POLITICAL ISSUES
 UNDER DISCUSSION
German-Americans to De- bate Question of Active
 Participation

The German-American organiza- tions will hold the most important meeting of the year at the CoLcor- dia hall this evening and all delc- gates of the IA associated societies are requested to be present. Some matters of the utmost importance as to the future of the organiza tion will be discussed.
 The reports of the committees and the financial returns of the German-American day at Settlers Village will be acted upon. After the routine of business has been settled the question of what action the German American organiza- tions will take in behalf of mem- bers of the organization and other German Americans in Waterbury iil the coming elections will be dis cussed, There has been a feeling among many of, the members that the organization should take more interest in the political ambitions of some of the German Americans and Americans of German extrac- tion in this city. Many German Americans have felt that they have been too disinterested in the po- litical field and consequently have suffered accordingly. The political activity will not limit itself to any particular party but rather to the man or men that the organization believes best suited to the place to which he or she may aspire.

Town Of Wolcott's
 Project Rejected
Federal PWA Grant of $53,13S Fails to Meet With
 Official Approval Hopkins Vetoed Plans

500,000 in federal money would have been allocated, has been turned down by Washington relief officials.
 Waterbury will not suffer through the drastic curtailment of PWA expenditures because the city has made no application for PWA grants.
 The rejected projects, according to advices from the national capi- tai, had been approved by Admin istrator Ickes of the PWA, but were vetoed by Harry Hopkins, national WPA head as being too expensive.
 State institutions will also suffer as @ result of the feud between Ickes and Hopkins. The group of projects rejected included appli- cations for $756,000 for expending the Fairfield State Hospital at New town; $187,000 for the State Hos- pital for the insane at Norwich; i; and $270,000 for the Undercliff Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Meri- den. Also turned down was 8 proposed appropriation of $1,80O,- 900 for the Middletown Portland bridge.
 The deadline on PWA applica- tions was yesterday and no furth- CT requests for appropriations will be accepted by the federal govern ment, with the exception of those concerned with housing projects. Waterbury has no interest in hous- ing developments, city officials said yesterday.
