Labor "War" a bud

Although three major Govern.
ment organizations are now in the
field and seeking members, the
prospects for a thrilling labor
war" have not justified themselves
to date and may never.
Both the N. F. F. E. and the
A. F. G. E., and E. Claude Bah
cocks United Civil Service En-
ployes, are definitely favoring
classified workers in the future.
The A. F. G. E., according to Off
Gals, has learned its lesson" with
emergency employees, while the N.
F.. F. E. has never been strong
for them. Babcock's group is
limited by its very name.
Can't Help Them
At A. F. G. E. headquarters 1t
was said recently that I'VE never
should have organized Temporal
ries, or emergencies as they are
called" It was recalled that Bah
cock, when he was president, &C
cepted most of the emergency
lodges at a time when the A. F.
G. E. needed members badly. His
successors have not blamed him
for this, but point out the condi-
ton was responsible for later
trouble. No emergency groups
have been accepted since Babcock
left, incidentally.
A. F. G. E. leaders admit they
can do little for emergency ap-
pointees, pointing out that when a
firing or appropriation curtail-
ment impends I'VE have no argu-
nentS.'

Bennett Gets Credit

Credit for the improvement
must be extended to Bennett, who

He points out that guards work

COSTUMES ARE
 BIGGEST JOB
Quitting Cast for "HOId Your Hats" Is Proving
 Big Task

Singing and dancing are the two words which usually receive the most attention in regard to the production end of musical revue. But not so for those persons behind the scenes who know a little bit more about what is going on.
 One of the biggest jobs in con- nection with the Civic theater's new revue, Hold Your Hats, which will be presented at the Waterbury Wo- mems club on April q, 9 and g, is that of dressing up the principals of the cast and the members of the chorus.
 Under the direction of Mrs. Ray Wood large corps of costumers is very busy these days basting, sewing, cutting and fitting, all of this work in preparation for the first night performance. Each night at rehear- sal, this group is very much in evil dence, supervising the trying on of Tryolean frocks, Victorian pelisses and even demure organdies and poke bonnetS.
 Fifty ensembles and sketches are costumed from designs made by Richard c. Forester, Mrs. Woods committee of workers includes ex- pert stylists, among them Mrs. Ralph Tweedale who is graduate in design of Cornell university, and several others who can do remark able things with scissors and few yards of satin.
 This group composed of Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Tweedale, Mrs. William w. Vosburg, Jr., Mrs. Norman Neale, Mrs. Augustus O. Hampson, Mrs. E. G. Thompson, Mrs. Clifford Tompkins, Mrs. Arthur Wood. In ad- dition, Mrs. Frederick Pierpont, Miss Marjorie Farley, Miss Edna Rish and Miss Mildred Aubrey are assembling the hundred and one &C., cessories needed.
 We have the largest group of workers on Hold Your Hats that has ever contributed to the presen- tation of 8 Civic theater produc- duction," said Director James Fur ness. "The piece calls for elaborate lighting effects, drops and sets as we'll as costumes. The backstage crew will have an enormous job to do in setting and timing. All the crews have been enlarged by num- Der of extra workers and it is safe to say that there is not 8 moment in the day when some group is not busy on some phase of the produc- tion of Hold Your Hats"

LOCAL TWINS PAY
 GREAT DIVIDENDS
Kresge Company Offers Layette Set Purchas=
 CTS Opportunity

Twins pay dividends, or at least so says the policy issued by the s. S. Kresge Company of this city to all purchasers of their layette set, which they are featuring at the present time.
 Layette sets, of course, include all the incidentals necessary to the comfort and treatment of new born baby. But" says mothers, What good is one layette set to me if have twins, triplets, quadruplets, or Every excitedly) quintuplets2' There is where the Kresge Company's "Twinsurance Policy" comes in. The policy is issued only when set valued at $3 or more is purchased.
 The "Twinsurance Policy" is is- sued free with the purchase of a complete layette set, or any part of layette set, provided the pur- chases are begun not less than three months before the date of birth All items purchased over a period of time are to be entered on the policy when purchased.
 At the time of birth, if only one baby is born, the policy is practic- ally valueless because the mother can claim nothing on 1t. But = should the birth yield twins, thu Kresge Comany will smilingly pre- sent the mother with another lay cite set, free of charge, in accord ance with the policy. Should there be triplets, the mother will receive two free sets; quadruplets, three free sets; or quintuplets, four free sets. In any event, the company guarantees that there will be enough layette sets for as many babies as are born, within the terms of the policy.

CHESHIRE NEWS

 Cheshire Phone S3a

A fire of unknown origin destroyed the home of Michael Pichalski of Wallingford road In the Copper Val ley early Tuesday morning. The fire department was summoned but because of the lack of sufficient water, and the great start of the fire the members found 1t neces- sary to save the furniture and to guard outbuildings. A bucket brig ade, formed by Chief Richard Wil- Hams, secured water for the bumper engine, thus saving the barns, which, on two occasions, caught fire. How ever. because of the good work done by the department, the fires were extinguished. The house, known as the William King place, and the loss, partially covered by insurance, was valued at $7,000. The fire de- partment, called at 2:30 o'clock worked most of the night to prevent spreading of the fire.
