Davis Promotes New
 Sport For Y Clients
Badmnton Added to Physical Development Program;
 Demands for Lessons, Exhibitions Increase Daily

Years ago when the Duke of Beaufort took up poona, the East Indian game, we know now as bad hinton, he had no idea that so many occidentalS would some day play and enjoy 1t, or that it would one day grow so phenomenally in popular ity in certain sections of the United States.
 Badminton is ( swell sport that nearly everybody can play and en- joy during the cold winter months. Badminton is only at the beginning of its growth in the United States. The number of persons who are play ing and want to play badminton far exceed the courts and clubs avail able for the game.
 Much can be done to encourage development of incerased interest in badmiuton. according to Bud Davis, physical director at the Y, who is working to promote the game throughout the city. Davls's interest in the game began 3 years ago when he hit upon Badmlnton to keep the men at the YM.C.A. 1n- terested in program of physical de- velopment. The plan has worked out so well that the demand for les sons, exhibitions, and information because so great that Davis found himself devotiug much time to the game. There is no doubt that a systematic promotion of Badmln- ton can be arranged for any com immunity and that once started right the game cannot help but become popular.
 Already in and around Waterbury the game is played by many in the YM.C.A., Chase Park, Bristol Co., U. s. Rubber, Naugatuck Y, water town High School Mill Plaln Church, Second Congregations Church, Bunker Hill Church, Meol- cal Building and Boys Club.
 One of the best signs that Bao- hinton is rapidly becoming one oi the smart things to do is the fact that Badminton professionals are being engaged to put on acts m theatres and nightclubs as feature entertainment attraction. Another reason for the rapid growth ot Bad- hinton is the universality of its ap- neal, persons who take up the game

 Women are taking up Badminton in large numbers and they like it, too. Often a girl who has failed to register at Tennis, finds that she can do well at Badminton.

Furthermore, a missed shuttle drops at the feet, so that energy is not wasted chas- ing balls, the ladies also have more opportunity to play Badminton, they usually can play during the OIL peak hours.
 There can be no doubt left even in the minds of the most sceptlcal that Badminton has come through into the clear and will continue to grow and develop and will within a few short months, become one or Americas foremost games.

Taking Profit Out of War Chief Objective; Ga!ullO
 Speaks Tonight

In the second of series of radio addresses on National Defense as sponsored by Corporal Coyle Post, American Legion, Past Commander Michael J. Galullo will be heard this evening at ' o'clock over Station WATR. He will explain certain features of the Universal Service bill introduced several years ago in Congress at the request of the Le- zion and which seems likely to be made a law before the present ses- sion of Congress adjourns. It is strictly war measure, designed to mobilize in time of emergency for the service of the nation, capital, in- dustry and manpower with special privilege and profit for none.
 The opening address of the series in observance of National Defense Week was delivered last evening by William T. Harrington, commander of Corp. Coyle Post. He was intro duced by Captain J. Peter Costigan, chairman of the posts committee on national defense. In his remarks MT. Harrington explained the prin- ciple and outlined the history of the bill. Special emphasis was placed on the fact that measure was in- spired for the three-fold purpose of preserving peace, strengthening the national defense and taking profit out of war. Reference was made to the startling disclosures of profit eering as revealed by the U. s. Sem ate's special Munitions committee.
 Tomorrow evening at o'clock over the same station Past Com mander Robert F. Birt will explain additional features of the measure. while on Friday evening in the fi- nal address of the series, Past Com mander Walter A. Jarvis will sum up previous speeches and will an- swer number of questions con- corning the operation of the bill in event of war.
