 He has served the town in nanx capacities. He has been a mer11 Der of the board of education fo4 several years.
 He ran for election as congress- man from the fifth district twice losing each time, but lost the gec$ ond time to Congressman Ned Gos4 by a very close margin, the rresule being contested in congress afters ward. He was the first democra& to make such a close run for thaA office in this district in many years.
 Just what will be done about filling the vacant positions remains to be seen. It is believed tho borough board will appoint within a short time another person as borough attorney, but it is likely that the school board will not name anybody to fill the vacancy until the next borough election.

Seven Credit Unions
 Formed By Teachers
ll,OOO Participate in Benefits, Reports Chairman
 Moran Important Session Here Today

Representatives of credit unions in all parts of Connecticut will gather this afternoon at the cot tage of James E. Moran at Lake Quassapaug. The session will be the second of it's kind held here in recent months, and will be de- voted to a discussion of state league business. MT. Moran, chair man of the credit union commit tee of the Connecticut Teachers association, has been one of the most active credit union workers in the state. In addition to his state role, he serves as erk-treasurer of the Waterbury Teachers asso- citation Credit Union and has helped organize a number of other credit union here.
 Seventeen credit unions have have been formed in this state since last November. Savings of more than $50,000 have been-made by an actual membership of 2,622. The unions have a potential mem- bership of more than 13,000.
 MT. Moran was signally honored recently when his report on the development of teachers credit unions in Connecticut was re- printed at Washington and copies of 1t sent to all parts of the coun- try.
 His report follows:
 Today in Connecticut over
 half of the 11,000 teachers in the state may avail themselves of the services of seven federal credit unions which draw their members from 15 communi- ties. Less than a year ago there was no credit union serv- ice available to any teacher in the state. Shortly after the Federal Credit Union Law was enacted, a credit union committee of the Connecticut State Teach CTS Association was formed. A carefully considered and
 comprehensive plan was
 worked out to familiarize the teachers of the state with the
 credit union idea and to or- B4nl1G ChOa6A SAO4is NhAcAo "
 serve every teacher in the state.
 The work of the credit union
 committee consisted first of an
 educational campaign. This
 phase of the work was partic-
 ufarly important since Connec-
 ticut has no state credit union
 law and had no state credit
 unions. It was not possible
 for groups to organize before
 the passage of the Federal
 Act and in consequence the
 idea was little understood.
 The first step consisted of q.
 series of articles in the state
 teachers magazine and credit
 union speeches at the october
 state-wi1le teachers conven-
 ton. Then throughout the
 school year series of talks.

Demand for Machinists, TOOI-Makers Greatest in Years-Business Up-Tmn Observed to

Reflecting a generally acknowl- edged improvement in business conditions during the past few weeks, the Waterbury office of the state employment service in the c. |. D. building on North Main street today reported an unpre- cedented demand for skilled work CTS from local factories.
 Arthur J. Collins, manager of the local office, said the demand for such labor is greater at pres- ent than at any time during the history of the office under his su- pervision.
 "We can place any number of skilled mechanics, tool-makers, die-makers and similar trades men," MT. Collins said. He said that jobs were immediately avail able for skilled workers in several of the city's larger factories.

 Local manufacturers, among them. executives of the Scovill Manufacturing company, a short time ago confirmed the report in- solar as it affected Waterbury. This city, together with most of the industrial centers in New Eng land, has also suffered the cur tailment of trade schools, com pany officials said.
 MA To Aid
 The new National Youth Ad- ministration, now in the process of organization intthe state, under the supervision of Attorney Thom- as J. Dodd of New Haven is ex- pected to remedy the situation to ascertain extent. Under one phase of the program, young men will be permitted to enter the factories for ehe purpose of learning their trades at first folnd. The federal government will cooperate with manufacturers in defraying the expense of the trade schools.

were given at teachers meet ings in A major cities and small towns. Three radio programs and 8 number of talks to various clubs and or- ganizations outside the teacher groups carried the work into a wider field and materially has, tened credit union develop ment in variety of industries and organizations. Now there are 30 Federal credit unions in Connecticut. Newspapers s in many cities cooperated by running news stories and feat ure articles.
 Organization work of the committee began late last fall with the setting up of SIX credit unions for teachers in Waterbury, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and New Britain.
 :. Five of the six credit unions organized last fall had been in . operation a little more than seven months by the end of June this year. In this short time $50 teachers had become members, we'll over 10 per cent of those eligible to join. These 630 members had saved $t3,- 225 during the seven months and had turned over their sav- ings in 133 loans amounting to $15,505.
 These five credit unions have served their members in many ways, first by enabling q large majority to save and second, by assisting many to solve their personal financial problems. The first type of loan these credit unions made was for re- financing and consolidating ex- isting debts. Many of the first

The latter was given a special decoration by the French gov ernment on the occasion of the recent national DAV con vention in New Haven. The present commander is Mich- ael Callahan.

First Anniversary Of Chiefs Death

The first anniversary of the death of Chief Henry H. Heitman of the fire depart- ment will be observed the 18th, a week from Thursday. The beloved head of the local fire-fighting force died of a heart attack in his chair at fire headquarters early on the evening of Sept. 19, 1884.
 Death came just few weeks after Chief Heitman had directed the local depart- ment in playing host to the annual convention of the Con- necticut's association, which was climaxed by a mammoth parade.
 Plans are now underway for a tribute to Chief Heit- mans memory by the fire de- partment on the first anniver- sary of his passing.

borrowers were granted loans for emergencies such as sick ness and injuries. Soon after the credit unions began oper- ating. several members began saving for their needs this summer. Some of them were able to save all the amounts needed while others saved part and borrowed part. These bor- rowers wer able to finance va cations and summer study courses almost wholly through their credit unions. It Is evil dent that these credit unions will shortly be able to hnance most of their members short term credit needs and. through the convenient, systematic sav- ing plan they will add mater ially to the financial security of many individual teachers.
 A final step in the program of the credit union committee was the bringing together of the credit unions in the state in periodic meetings for the purpose of securing an inter- change of experiences as well as to promote further credit union development. Thus as new credit unions begin op- erating in teach groups they will be able to turn to the old ones for guidance and inspira- tion.
