Unemployment CensusTo End. 
Postmaster Babin Warns About Sending in Cen-
 Sus Blanks

All unemployment census forms must be filled out and placed in the mails tomorrow, Postmaster Charles A. Babin warned today. Tomorrow marks the end of the nation wide census of totally unem- ployed and partially unem- ployed, and the local figures will be forwarded to Wash- ington at once. Postmaster Babin said he was not at liberty to divulge the number of census cards that had been re- turned. Approximately 50,000 were distributed, with letter carriers de- livering more than 40,oo0 of this total.
 The forms should be filled out and mailed by those who are unern- ployed, and seeking work, and those who are partly unemployed and seeking more work.
 Returns thus far have been highly satisfactory, the postmaster said, and he indicated his belief that the local returns would furnish a true and accurate picture of employ ment conditions in Waterbury.
 The postmaster, who is in charge of the census, has been assisted by a citizens committee, named by Mayor Frank Hayes, and headed by Walter Jarvis. The committee has concea- trated its efforts on pubhcizing the census, and has set up information bureaus in every part of the city.
 Those who have not received any census forms can secure them from any postman. They should be filled out and dropped in the nearest rnail- box. No postage is required.

the match a mo decision affair.

Sullivan disposed of John Grando-

turned to the mat as a substitute to

all of which places him in bad light
