MAPLE LEAF FUND
 ORGANIZED HERE
Local Chapter Formed to Obtain Material, Finan=
 cial Aid for Canada

An appeal for increased contribu- tions of clothing, money, and relief of all kinds for the soldiers and peo- pie of Canada, as well as for the re- fugees who are sheltered there was voiced last evening by F. E. Gendron, vice-president of the national Maple Leaf Fund, Inc. The occasion for the request was the formation of local chapter of the organization at the Central YMCA.
 In his talk, MT. Gendron stressed the fact, that at present all the out side aid which comes to Canada is received indirectly from British re- lief agencies. H eStreSSed the in- creased efficiency of their receiving aid directly from agencies in this country.
 Other chapters of the Maple Leaf Fund in this country have already done . great deal for Canada, he stated. Contributions of tons of clothing and knitted garments, read ing material, and enough money to support 200 evacuated children for a year have been received thus far. With the organization of more local chapters, like the Waterbury one, 1t is hoped that these contributions will increase.
 A local committee was appointed last evening to conduct 8 drive here, and to plan the first meetings of the Waterbury chapter. Duncan c. Rose is chairman, assisted by Perry A. Borden, John E. Bolger, Dr. Her. bert J. Corbett, Dr. Charles H. Audet, Frank J. LaFleur, Joseph Pr0IIx, Eula E. Yelling, Annie Mac Pherson, Ethel Sweet, Gertrude Yates, Mrs. Frank Gibson and Mrs. John Toomey.

But because the R. A. F. has re- sponded with a mangnif1cent brand of fighting = frequently smashing German air formations when the odds were more than four to one English optimism remains good though pertrubed.
 One official communique relates with pride the feat of Hurricane patrol that took on a formation of IS bombers surrounded by 70 to 100 Messerschmitt fighters.
 This is splendid bravery and good fighting but the constant nu- merical inferiority in nearly every air battle shows the disadvantages confronting a country on the de- fensive.

 PUTS ON DEFENSE
 The whole setup at present re- sembles to some extent the sit- uation when Finland was fighting against odds.
 The Royal Air Force is Eng lands Mannerheim Line and if it is broken Britain may lose the war. For if 27 German planes can do IS years of damage to Rotter- dam in nine minutes, then London and every large city in this small island can be smashed to the ground in an equal number of minutes by 5000 planes if unop- posed.
 Not that the Royal Air Force is on the verge of defeat.
 To date it has taken a heavy toll in Germany. answering the bomb- ing of London. The R. A. F. un- loaded explosives on Berlin fac- tories for the bombing of the Midland factories. It dropped Is tons of bombs on the Junkers fac- tory at Dessau and smashed the great oil refineries but few miles from Berlin's spacious Unter Den Linden.
 But the Luftwaffe is coming over in large numbers with greater frequency these days and forcing the limited number of British pilots to spend more and more hours in the air.
 Starting with the airfelds pro- tecting the coastal towns the Ger mans are endeavoring to bomb every airdrome they can reach in

CLUB TO Meet
With COUNCIL
Civic Group to Send ENJOYS
to Budget Meeting; Says
Program Threatened.

Representatives of the Ely CONNER
cial club will meet with the city coun-
Gil tonight at an adjourned session to
discuss the clubs budget for 1941.
The council, after compiling ten
tative budget for the city, notified the
club that it would be granted $4,000. 1t
had asked for the limit that the city
could levy, $1,000.
A special meeting of the club was
held Friday night to revise the budget,
and it was decided to send delegation
of club members to confer with the
council tonight. In chopping the clubs
request in half, the council eliminated
the $500 set aisle for the drum corps,
which will now be taken care of out
of the band fund levy In 1910 the
corps was given $3.50 of the clubs al
location totaling $4,000.
After trimming most of the items in
the budget for next year and elimin-
ating entirely many others, the club
arrived at a $3,405 figure which the
members felt could not be cut fur
ther without serious consequences for
the clubs program.
Of the $3,405, $1,000, or practically
40 per cent, would go strictly for pro-
motion of local activities, including the
Community Fair, Fourth of July,
Labor Day, Christmas candy, baseball,
and Scouting
OF the $2,105 remaining, roughly
speaking about half would go only for
nf hn CT
being expended on answering tour
lists inquiries, 40 per cent of the cost
of the Ely booklets, Arrowhead associ-
alton dues, entertainment of visitors
(S25), and cost of the state fair ex-
hibit ($25).
The other half would underwrite the
cost of maintaining the secretary's Of
flee and sending delegates to meetings
to promote the interests of the city.
Eliminated entirely from the pro-
posed budget, as was the case this
year, were sums for outdoor publicity,
planting fish, highway signs, new aerial
map, mounting game and fish for dis
play, moving picture films, and an
amount for miscellaneous expenditures
and promotion of conventions held in
Ely.
Ray Hoefler, secretary, reported that
there were only 100 of the 10000 book
lets purchased this spring left The re-
sorts contributed $70O toward the cost
of the booklets.
All told, Hoefler said approximately
S2,100 were collected from resorters
and merchants for promoting the tour
ist business in this area.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

A strike in one of the country's major
aircraft factories was recently averted
by a narrow margin. This factory plays
a key role in the new arms program.
One wonders when malcontents will
realize that the people will no longer
stand for industrial disputes which
menace national security. If labor and
management can't get together and
settle their troubles without diSrupting
production, the authority of govern
ment will of necessity be used to con-
troll them. Labor and industry have
a chance today to show the stuff they
are made of. When the nation die
tates the policy that takes men from
their jobs for national defense, it can
not allow labor or industry to dictate
terms of employment or production.
