February "A Date for Na' tiOnal Guards Units to
 Leave for Florida

February A is the new date set for the arrival of Connecticut National Guardsmen at Fort Banding, Fla, to begin a years military training, according to word from Washington. This means that local guardsmen will probably be called up about Feb ruary 10 Or F, spending about ten days making final preparations for their departure.
 Induction of the 43rd division was scheduled for early January, with troops to arrive in Florida about the middle of that month, but it was announced several days ago that facilities at the camp would not be ready by that time and that the call would have to delay.
 Difficulties in sewer construction att he Florida camp are blamed by federal authorities for the delay.
 Before the January induction date was announced, several dates had been set earlier and changed. The guardsmen were originally slated to be mobilized last September IS.

Fixed Proposition Made in
 American Brass COm= pany Negotiations

A stalemate has been reached in the negotiations between the Wa terbury Brass Workers Union, CIO, and the American Brass Co. The union is seeking a wage increase of six cents an hour for all factory workers.

 A conference between the company management and union representa- tives was held Friday afternoon but ended in a deadlock. The state was represented at the barley by Morgan R. Mooney, deputy labor commis- sioner.
 It is planned to resume negotia- tions on the unions request.

Cleveland, O., May 23-Your

in last Fridays issue Of the

lent article put in by Mr.. Rookie
from Canton regarding Saxon
Progress, further down the page
in the same column there was a
particular word that spells suc-
cess in any undertaking by a
club or persons. That word was
COOPERATION! Across the
page bit in Salems article, their
reporter was putting on the speel
for their victory banquet on May
IS. Still another article, Home
stead, was advertising their dance
also to be held on May Is. Yet "a
way back in the middle of bas-
ketball season Canton had set the
date for their affair, on May Is.
If that is cooperation, then the
moon is Little Joe" and "Saxos
Progress" does not mean a thing
to sc'ne people. Even the Seniors
should know better than to have
an affair when the Juniors are
holding something, because the
Juniors expect the Seniors to
come to their affairs and visa
versa.
Because of the slow return of
tickets for the quilt, it had to be
put off to later date. .Thecomittee
