 Carlisle B. Futile, Chairman,
 Naugatuck Chapter, American
 National Red Cross, 259 Church
 Street, Naugatuck, Connecticut. My dear MT. Futile:
 Headquarters gratefully acknoWl- edges the generosity of the people of Naugatuck in contributing sub stantially more than twice the quota for flood relief first suggest ed to the chapter. take pleasure in acknowledging your remittances of $1,773.02 received on April 1, and $838.61 on April 2.

The Red Cross is now providing for more than 118,000 families in the flood district in thes New England states, New York and in the Ohio and Missis- sippi valleys. At least 40,000 of these families are residents of Connecti- cut. A series of destructive tor nadoes in the southern states with in the last week has greatly added to the number of disaster victims. Funds contributed will be carefully expended to care for these families not only in the first emergency days but also in helping to restore their homes.
 T am glad to have this oppor- tunity of thanking you and the chapter board for your part in this extensive relief service.
 Cordially yours,
 WALTER DAVIDSON,

With factories, schools, banks and libraries closed, the town seemed somewhat deserted this morning with little activity. There was no WPA work, the local chapter of the Red Cross was closed for the day, and only one mail delivery was made with the stamp window at the post office closing at 10 a. m.
 Many residents left yesterday for trips over the holidays and will not return until late Sunday night.

CdGIy Tissue IdkeS up OpdSO aAA0
gives a bulky silhouette, while
muscle tissue is compact and gives
lovely, clear-cut contours. Without
exercise, soft bulk will be replaced
by loose fiabbiness, for toneless
muscles are unequal to holding the
body to lovely proportions.
During the stabilization period,
which intervenes between the loss
of the soft fat and the loss of the
more solid fat, exercise is an i'm.
portant factor in weight adjust
ment. Exercise hardens the
muscles and prevents a reversion
to adipose tissue, and at this time
it aids in establishing the first loss
as permanent.
To rout out bunchy fat, use the
exercises that stretch and lengthen
the muscles. Fat and muscle tone
are incompatible and stretching
stimulates muscle tone. Add twist
ing and turning to the stretching,
to make your exercises do double
or triple duty whenever possible.

CITY PLAN

CONTINUED from Local Page)
despite the fact that we are Off
cially designated as a county.
In the natural development
taking place in Northern Virginia
today, namely Arlington, Fairfax
and Alexandria, this county must
stand on her own or expect to be
enveloped in it's entirety by Alex
andria city. Since most of the
rapid development now being
witnessed in this area is taking
place in Arlington, which is so
convenient to the Nations Capital,
is of fair area, it is reasonable to
visualize Arlington in the future
as the States largest city.
Another potent factor thNt must
be regarded while considering the
proposal to incorporate this
county and make a first-claSS city
of it is that such a move is neceS-
Sary if we expect the State legiSla-
ton we will need in the future.
During the last two sessions of
the general assembly I have
talked with a number Of repre-
Sentatives and most of them have
expressed themselves as being OPP
posed to the continued enactment
of special legislation to meet the
requirements of Arlington as a
county. They take the stand that,
since Arlington has reached the
proportions of city, it should be-
come one and assume response
bility, as other cities are now
doing.
Judging from my conversation
with these representatives, sin
cerely believe that Arlington will
encounter great difficulties in OBJ
tanning further special legislation.
A point of great intreSt from
a judicial standpoint is the great
need for a corporation court in
Arlington. This circuit, which
includes Alexandria, Arlington,
Fairfax and Prince William, is
one of the heaviest litigated cir.
cults in the State, according to
statistics. and the need for a cor.
poration court here, as an exclu-
sive Arlington court, has long
been voiced by judges and law
yers.
Such a court would relieve the
Circuit Court of a heavy load of
the cases now crowding the
docket, and still leave this circuit
with as many cases as the average
circuit in the State.
