 Today was Flag Day, and evidence of 1t was seen by the many flags displayed throughout Waterville.
 However, the day had added sig nificance for Timothy L. Chipman of 1876 Thomaston avenue, because it was his ninetieth birthday. Many friends marked the occasion with good wishes and congratulations and presented him with gifts.
 MT. Chipman is extremely alert for his many years, and while talk ing with him, one is surprised at the remarkable interest he shows in happenings of the day. He reads 8 great deal, sometimes even with out glasses and delights in telling of his earlier life.
 He was born in the southern sec ton of Waterbury, but spent a great part of his life in Cheshire. He worked in the Post Office there and owned a jewelry store in that town.
 AS youngster, he attended South Center school in Cheshire, where there was one teacher for all grades and about fifteen pupils.
 He later went to Cheshire Aca- denny, where one of his instructors was Dr. Sanford Horton, with whom he later travelled abroad visiting England and France.
 A great many changes have talk en place during his lifetime. Can- dles were used for light in his home and he well remembers the time when people travelled from Che shire to Waterbury in stage coaches driven by four horses. The time required to cover the distance was approximately one hour and fif- teen minutes, and the fare was about seventy-five cents. The stage coaches would accommodate twelve persons and the driver and the baggage was carried on top. The coaches travelled along Plank road which is still in existence in the eastern part of the city, and from whence came the expression, driving like two-forty on the old Plank road"

MY FLAG
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Little Elsie got up to recite,
 Her hair was in a nice new wave, She was picked to lead her class telling Of freedom and the home of the brave. She got off bravely about the flag Til she saw her mother in the first row, Then she got balled up on stars and stripes, And it looked pretty bad for the show Thirteen broad stars-stammered she, Thirteen bright strpes-no, that's wrong; Teacher looked all hot and upset, And wished she had taught Elsie song. Long years ago, twas in IT.
 Bravely began Elsie again. On and on she garbed her tale, fresh kid hissed-say when! It's my flag and your fiagl
 Yes Elsie got that line right, But most everybody was agreed It was mistake to let Elsie recite.

Each dollar of incOme-if you are an average wage-earner in an average famiIy-will divide up like the pie-cut dollar above, according to government statistics. as those families with average in- comes.
 But they wouldn't, of course. For those averages were compiled from average incomes. That means be- tween $1200 and $500 8 year. In- comes of $500 and $500 are not spent in quite the same way.
 Farmers with an income of $500 a year must spend more than the average percentage of their income for food. Meals may cost them per- hapS 10 cents apiece instead of the 3 4 or 5 cents which would be their proportionate cost based on the average budget.
 At that rate, food for the year for the $500 man would cost $436.8O in- stead of $166 which would practical ly wipe out the entire income, let alone anything for such luxuries as medical care, clothing and educa- tion.

FAR UNDER AVERAGE

Somewhere between those figures the $500 man compromises in order to have a place to live and some- thing to wear.
 The average wage-earner brings in between $100 and $125 8 month, the same government survey showed. Thus at SAP calendar month for the 25-cents-an-hour man, or even at $69 a month for the 40-cents-on- hour man, the benef1ciaries of the "foor-under-wages" law would still be far under the averages.

How Typical American Family Would Fare Under the Proposed Wages and Hours Bill
By WILLIS THORNTON

| (NEA Service Stan CofreSpOndent)
 Congressional debate on the wage hour bill has stormed furiously around the hourly rate of minimum pay that would be used to put a floor under wages"
 Strong objection has been made to any plan that would eventually raise minimum wages as high as 40 cents an hour. Twenty-Five cents an hour is the current proposal rising gradu- ally to 40.
 Debate on the economies of the question is long and loud. But what, precisely, dow ages like that mean to the man who gets them? What kind of a standard of living is im- piled by them, and what must be the standards today of those whom it is proposed to raise to 25 cents an hour? WPA rates, by the way, are around 60 cents.
 It is all very clear and simple. At 25 cents an hour, assuming 40- hour week, the wage-earner takes in just $10 a week. At 40 cents this becomes $16. Assuming, again, year. round work, the 25-cents-an-hour man earns $520 in a year; his more fortunate colleague earns $832. IT'S SIMPLE
 ARITHMETIC
 Do your own figuring on a basis of $500 and $500 since 52 weeks of straight work is practically unknown among people drawing that kind of money.
 A careful study of what becomes of the workman's dollar was recent ly made by several government bu- reaus. They found what average families with incomes of between $12000 and $500 a year were spend- ing for various things. Then they reduced the data to a percentage showing that of every dollar B 1-2 cents went for rent, and so on.
 Applying those same percentages to incomes of $500 and $500 will show how families benefiting by the pro- posed act would live. The accom- panying table shows what they would have for various things nec- essary to civilized living if they spent their income in about the same way

nardo homes in Canada. The
Cunard Line agreed to lend him
to Hollywood and Stacey agreed
to come here.
Stacey was born at Aldcrshot,
Hampshire, in 1908, the son Of
an army sergeant. His mother
died when he was two and his
father was unable to take care
of the baby, so the Bernardo
homes received him.
AT the age Of l3 he was en-
rolled in Russell-Cotcs school to
learn sailoring. In three years he
was shipped as d deck boy aboard
Union Castle boats, winning his
ALB. papers after a few cruises.
He then went to the Bcrengaria
and later was signed aboard the
Queen Mary on her maiden trip.
On completion of the picture he
will return to the Queen Mary,
having no desire to remain in

has ranged from helping design
settings to teaching the cast rope
tying ,and staging lifebnat races.
Because of his quiet efficiency.
