President McElligott Declares Incident To
 Be "Closed Chapter"
Teamsters' Union Agent, Rudolph Tata, Declares Strike Extending "A. F. of L. Pledges Support to
 Drivers; Complaint Lodged With Labor Board

The weight of all American Fed eration of Labor Union in Water bury was today thrown behind strik- ing employees of R. F. Worden and Sons, Inc, as dairy officials and leaders of the local of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs alike maintained their refusal to yield. The Central Labor Union, composed of delegaes from many local unions, voted at a special meeting last night to sup port the strike to the fullest extent.
 Rudolph Tata, business agent of the union, scoffed at a claim by Ed ward McElligott, Worden president. that the strike is over." MT. Tata declared that the strikers are mak- ing new advances daily and that the aid of the Central Labor Union will make the strike even more success full.
 Central Labor Union officials met today to map plans for canvassing householders to urge them not to buy Wordens products. A publicity campaign is planned, and mass meeting is being arranged for early next week.
 It appeared today that both sides are setting down for long, deter mined battle. Neither side has at- tempted negotiation since the strike began Monday night, though the union has filed complaint against alleged abuses by the dairy with the state board of mediation. The union has also filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board charging that employees of the dairy were intimidated by the manage ment. The strike began after the company had refused to renew g contract with the teamsters' union.
 The Central Labor Union cam paign will extend to stores which handle Worden products. They vii! be asked by union committees tc cancel their orders with Wordens.
 MT. Tata said today that an ad- vertisement claiming that the Brookside Dairy is the only remain ing union dairy in the city was in error. He said that Cashin's Dairy is also a union firm, and is receiv- ing it's share of the business being taken from Wordens.

CANADIAN LEGION
 HONORS COMRADES
PrimrOses Worn Today in Memory of Heroes of
 Vimy Ridge Struggle

A generou5 display of Primroses worn by Waterburians today as mark of respect for the heroic dead of the World War, was one of the several features of the local observ- ance of the 23rd anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. On April 25, 1917 Canadian Legions in a mag nificent display of courage and fighting spirit broke up the German forces in what has been recorded as one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the great war. Primroses served as the Canadian Legion's flower of remembrance as the poppy is to American veterans and the Forget-Me-N to the D. A. V.
 Tomorrow morning representa- lives of all veterans organizations will meet at the Canadian Legion headq Iarters on BanW street and from there will parade to St. Ann's Church, where special services will mark the anniversary. Rev. Ernest A. Lamontagne, pastor, will off, ciate. Taps will be blown by Rhea Lawrence, bugler of the Canadian Legion auxiliary. Commander Harry White of the local post, will be in charge. Transportation will be fur nished for Gold Star Mothers wish ing to participate in the tribute.
 The distribution of Primroses to- day was in charge of Area Com mander Joseph Vachon. Mayor Vim cent A. Scully inaugurated the public sale campaign. Today mem bers of the Canadian Legion and the auxiliary were very conspicu- ous about the city's streets. The sale was generously supported py the public, particularly those wht recalled the magnificent braver! shown by the Canadian legion al Vimy Ridge.

tracts to farmers who would grow sweet and field corn for seed. Many a mortgage has been lifted by a good crop of seed corn, many fortune has been founded on the golden grain.
 The tough part of those seed corn contracts was that they spec fled delivery in Milford. Farmers always drove down with wagon loads of corn, and came back with cash, plus a few bushels of Mill ford clans. The best corn patch in SOuthbury was on POOtatuck flats, over at the edge of NewtOwn. The Milford folks never found seed corn to beat the crop grown over there, so they paid a premi- um and gave special terms for that POOtatuck corn.
 Boxing was once popular sport, among the rougher folks in this township. Andy Dolan was local champion and his clubhouse was the gathering place for all the brawny lads. Steve Dolan was an other local lad who might have given the present-day maulerS a few pointers. Boxing is too rough for the boys today, but it was never too tough for our Andy Dolan. (Rumor has it that Andys clubhouse is now the local fire house. Fire-fighters keep the en- zine under the same roof where Andy's lads hammered each other)

CAESAR conducted the first advertising

North Carolina waited a few years to adopt
his methods, but once it started, it learned
that CAESAR really had something.
For example, in two years North Carolina
increased it's tourist revenue from $685. 0 ,00(
annually to approximately 500, ooo, 900.

BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW
Greensboro News

Cities everywhere. as the mayor Of Pitts
burgh, Cornelius D.. Scully, said lately, are
having a hard time raising the funds to meet
demands for services. Their governments are
asked to make increasing expenditures from
what is generally a declining revenue base;
the county and state governments often spend
revenues derived from cities in a manner WHICH
promotes decline Of the tax base in the city
which provides them. Mayor Scully continued:
Every new highway development which
makes it easy for the resident of your city
to live in a suburban area not subject to
your taxing power is a threat to your tax
base, unless a process of annexation quick
ly follows to bring your city the benefits or
increased values created in the area served
by the Improvement. Such annexation Is
naturally resisted by land spectators, who
profit the more when the affected area
escapes it's share of the tax burden, and it
is difficult to achieve under our archaic
forms of local and state government.
Suburban area" in this connection, takes
in greatly more territory than the term for
merly connoted.
Cities and towns will be obliged to make a
maximum of bricks with a minimum Of straw
until. in effect, their boundaries are greatly
enlarged, without consideration Of special con-
tiguous development areas.
There ought to be a much more extensive
tax base than that within the present mu.
nicipal lines, and that does not mean that
rural property ought to be taxed to support
those services that are limited to the congested
areas. It means rather that the benefits that
are common to the region Of a town, say the
county in which it is situated, ought to be
paid for by all property and productive en-
terprise in that region, by a rule Of assessment
that already applies in the towns themselves.
It does not necessarily mean any increase
in the rural taxes; in many places-most Sec
lions of our own state-they are already as
high as can be borne; they reach the point
Of confiscation. There are in most of our town.
county situations Implications of service to
abolish which would accomplish the desired ef-
feet, without increasing anybody's tax rate,
if indeed the tax rate could not. as a result,
be generally lowered.
