WATERBURY LEADS IN CREDIT UNIONS
5 Units Organized Here; 48,O0O Members In
 Connecticut Group

Membership in credit unions is increasing with leaps and bounds Roy Bergengren, managing director of the National Association of Credit Unions told the annual convention of the Connecticut Credit Union league at state convention at The Elton Saturday night. He told 400 credit union men present that there are now more than 83,000 credit unions in the United States.
 The members of the Connecticut Credit Union represented an indivi- dual membership of more than 48,- GOO persons with assets totaling more than two and one-half million dollars.
 Four directors of the Connecticut league were elected. H. James Ori- flee, of Wallingford was reelected president and H. Wesley LeaVen- worth of Waterbury was reelected vice president. James E. Moran, of Waterbury, national committeeman, was reelected to the board and Frank Romanousky, treasurer of the Patent Button Credit Union in Wa terbury, was the new director add ed to the board, succeeding Dr. A. c. Sides, of Bridgeport Leonard R. Nixon, of New Britain, was elected to continue as managing director.
 MT. Bergengren told those pres ent that credit unions are doing more for the economic regeneration of the people of the United States and North America than any other single organization.
 He said the credit union idea is a lasting memorial to Edward A. Filene of Boston.
 MT. Berglngren stated that 52,- 900 credit unions in Germany had been wiped out by Hitler.
 Credit unions cannot exist under dictators, he said, because they are democratic in principle. He paid tribute to the cooperative spirit of Finland where most of the people were members of credit unions. He said that the movement is organized in 46 states, Hawaii the Canal Zone, Alaska and ir every province of Canada.
 Rev. Patrick T. Quinlan 0, Wethersfield said that the church was interested in credit unions be. cause it now has an instrumen with which to attack injustice.
 Waterbury still leads the stat with 35 credit unions, New Haver being second with 13 unions Bridgeport third with 15 and Hart ford fourth with 13 units Ther are 86 industrial units and 29 il schools. T.lL distribution of othe types is as follows: Association ( public utility, 6, fuel, 5, parish 4, postal, 4, cooperatives, pack CTS, 3. hotel, 3, newspaper, Z railroad, 2, retail store, 2, com munity, social workers, laundry firemen, insurance, policemen ant veterans all one each.

a serious accident can occur if the driver is momentarily inattentive. You owe it to yourself, and to those whose lives may depend upon your skill as a motorist, to keep your mind on your driving and be alert at all times when behind the wheel.
 Second: The Real Driver Keeps In The Line of Traffic. There are few conditions on the road which worry motorists more or produce greater hazards than cars which won't stay in line, but wander from lano to lane like lost sheep. Traffic laws provide safe methods of over
 taking and passing other cars. The driver who persists in keeping in
 the center of the road, prevents safe passing, encourages others to violate the law and creates a hazard,

 In just three weeks from to- morrow, a khaki cavalcade of be- tween $50 and 400 men will leave Boston for Camp Edwards at Fall mouth on the Massachusetts Cape.
 Leaving the Hub on Sunday, July 7, the famous Third Batta- lion, 372nd Colored Rifle Infantry, MING, will remain in camp longer than at any time in peacetime history. Our soldier boys will re- main at the seacoast camp from July ' to 27.
 A bright feature of the Cape vacation" of the local unit this year is the anticipated arrival of new military uniforms. Just when and what is not definitely known, but the belief is. that cadet long pants with brief lace leggings may be a picturesque part of the out fit. Similar to the band or artillery short leg projections, the new is- sues have a decided advantage of being put on quicker than the pre-

Pull the Trigger on
Constipation, and
Observation-Disclosures Too

When constipation brings on acid indi-
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, Duh taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with GER
tain undigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative SIENNA to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
ure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take DR.. Caldwelrs Laxative, because it's
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that Won
Observation-Disclosures while eLaxative
SIENNA moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those Jumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this m.--dicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell's Lax
