Formal Campaign to
Start Tomorrow

Washington department stores
will launch their formal Christ
mas selling campaign tomorrow,
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, said today.
Gaily decorated windows, de-
signed to lure shoppers and Undue
them with the spirit of Old Saint
Nick, are part of the propaganda,
Shaw said, adding that holiday
merchandise will be on sale earlier
this year.
While the general public has
given little thought to the Christ
mas season-with that Thanks
giving turkey not yet gone-mer-
chants, jobbers. manufacturers,
travelling statesmen, inventors and
artists have been working toward
one goal-production Of Christ
mas merchandise.
Even turkey farmers-who more
and more are raising the National
Bird for Christmas as well IS
Thanksgiving-are included in the
vast army of Christmas merchants.
So, too, are novelty designers, Cali
fornia fruit growers, silversmiths,
Irish linen weavers and woodmen
Of the Michigan fir district.
And the public, Shaw said. can
do its bit by shopping early.

Thomaston Sports
By JACK WATERS

Since word arrived that Gene Mo- Cam, the Yankee scout, was in this neck of the woods, baseball is enjoy- ing a sudden revival. Every kid big enough to swing bat, is out prac- ticing with the hope that McCann will step out from behind some tree or barn with contract in one hand an da one-way ticket to the Yankee stadium in the other. Any day now we expect to see some of our local greats flashing their Yankee con- tracts along with a free tuition course in one of our leading univer- Sities.
 Harry Lynch's two latest addi- tions to the Legion nine have looked very impressive in their early ap- pearances with the team. Pitcher Dick King of Hartford has received favorable comment from both local and out of town fans. King pitches in the same New Britain factory league as Johnny Jay, Torrington star, and his one ambition is to hook up with Jay in Valley league game.
 The other newcomer to the local nine is Frank Stuart, ex-Wilby fly chaser and his showing to date has been cause of great delight to Un- cle Will Stuart, the Bard of Center street.
 Followers of high school sports are wondering just what the athletic Setup will be at the local school next year, what with several reports floating around. One such report has it that Mandy Green will for sake his coaching duties in order to devote all his time to his new position of principal. Recalling the success of last years basketball team and with new and larger gym nasium being built, it would be a big disappointment if next seasons team didn't measure up to past standards.
 Local Schmeling packers still re- member what happened two weeks ago tonight. Financial trouble is again dogging the Legion baseball team. Frank Keaney postcards from Penn. State that the studies are stiff but he is finding time for ten his and softball. Doctor J. Carrell Novakoskil, who specializes in cases dealing with fractures of the tram verse process around the lumbar region, reports talking with Mautner, ex-Holy Cross football star, who leaves for Newk York soon to start training for the all-star game. Play In the local factory softball leagues has been suspended while the em- ployes are on vacation. The Legion nine gave sorry exhibition of base ball in Lithcfield Monday after noon. Local fans will be greatly sur prised if Roy Johnson makes good h the City Amateur league.

Mortality tables are based on past exper-

THE IDEA .. In the little story
printed below, certain key words have
been omitted. The position of each
omitted key word is indicated by
blank. The puzzle is solved by finding
the proper key words to put in the
blank spaces. When the right key
words are filled in. the story as whole
takes on meaning Answers are on
Page Is.
METHOD OF SOLUTION 1.
Each blank represents single letter
of a word. Three blanks like this:
indicate three-letter word;
four blanks like this: - --- in
dicate four letter word, etc. The
first key word, TO, already is filled in.
in capital letters. To form the second
key word use both letters in the first
key word, 7 and Q, and add one
additional letter. The order of the let
tiers may be changed. The same pro-
cedure is used to form the succeeding
kew words. Like this: NOT - DON'T
- NOTED - STONED. Now. let's
go:
Frank and Sam had thought about
the possibilities of that haunted house
for long time Finally they laid
plans ] O give the town good scare.
