Special Courses In Mechanical Training
 To Be Instituted Here
Contacts With Various Agencies Enable Federal Office to Obtain Positions for Unemployed Opportunities
 Are Available to Scores of Local Girls

In over 4OOO IVA Work Shops throughout the nation thousands of young people are getting basic ex- perience in various mechanical pur- suits. These shops give young peo- pie the opportunity to learn the use of hand tools and power driven ma- chinery and equipment. The youths are paid for their services while they are learning.
 Most IVA Projects are planned and initiated in the communities in which they operate to meet defin- ite local needs. A problem is ra- pidly developing in Connecticut which makes it necessary for indus trial concerns to employ young peo- pie with little or no experience. As part of its contribution to National Defense the National Youth Admin istration has decided to devote part of its expanded program to provide work experience in some of the metal trades to girls as well as boys. With the increase in business, IVA has received numerous requests from girls and also employers to provide some work experience which will enable girls to become acquainted with the conditions they will meet when they get factory employment. With the equipment which IVA has provided for Waterbury, girls will get sufficient experience to enable them to get jobs as press-operators, sewing machine operators or doing assembly work.
 There is also great demand for stenographers and typists at the present time. IVA, through its lo- cal program has given such experi- ence to many girls thus helping them to get good jobs. Its many contacts with local agencies en- ables IVA to give girls actual office experience while on the IVA pay

CHRY5LER SALES
 SHOW INCREASE
Cowling-DavIin Motor Co. Release Figures of N.
 Y. Auto Show

Public acceptance of the l94l line of The More Beautiful Chrysler," as reflected in sales at the New York Automobile Show, is the most enthusiastic in years, say the officials Of the Cowlins, Davlin Motor Company of Ju- neau.
 Figures released reveal that &C., tual sales made at the Grand Central Palace in the first four days of the auto show were l94.4 percent of those in the correspond ing period of the 1899 show, which, at the time. was considered high ly favorable record.
 The increase in sales has been well divided among all the price classes covered by our line" say officials, but it is particularly noticeable where the buyer is able to take advantage of our new Tailored to Taste scheme, by means of which one is able to se- lect upholstery, trim and hardware in the color combinations t h {. most please him.
 The fact that Fluid Drive now is available throughout the Chrys- Ter line also is a factor in this increase in eastern sales. Many prospects who had been awaiting the inclusion of this feature in a car within their budget limits now have welcomed tn opportunity to secure it.
 Women, more than ever before, are influencing the choice of a Chrysler car We attribute this to the fact that there has been an amazing feminine response to our suggestion Why Shift Gears?' and to the beauty and variety of indi- vidual selection in our 1941 line. y

.isest of Pilots Can Co Wrong when Signing
 Up Ivory Busters
By RAY PEACOCK AP Feature Service Writer)

NEW YORK, Nov 20.-In the an- nual pastime of second guessing at winter and spring baseball player transactions, it becomes apparent that the David Harums fumbled several times in judging minor leag- uers.
 The New York Yankees, whose judgment of players usually is above par, fumbled thrice-on Walt Jud- uicll. Johnny Babick and Joe Beggs They might have saved the Yankees a let of grief earlier in the season.
 Eeggs, with the Yankees part time last year, went to the Reds in ex- change for Lee Grissom, and has helped the Reds in relief roles. The Tanks gave up on Grissom. but he's hack With Brooklyn.
 Babish was down cn the farm at Kansas City last year. He and Marvin Breuer and Erne Bonham and Tommy Refs pitched the Blues to the American Association cham pionship. There wasn't much choice between the four. But maybe be- cause Babich had been up once before with Brooklyn, the Yanks pinned their hopes on Rreuer.
 Babich With As
 Bab;ch wsnt tc the Philadelphia Athletes, and it was bright day fc- Connie Mack. He got a nine inning pitcher wise in the game, and with ccntending club this sea- son Rabich would have been sen- sation. Breuer is far from flop, but he's not another Charley Ruff finG-just yet.
 Judnich was permitted to travel from the Newark farm to the St. Lcuis Browns. The gesture might have been magnaimouS, but it must leave an aftertaste. Judnich has been getting a lot of hits in the clutch. He made life especially mis- erable for Yankee pitchers in St. Louis on one occasion. All he did
 
 in three games was hit three hom- CTS, a triple, a double and five sin gles.
 The Boston Red Sox muffed a dcuble-play ball when they let Pee wee Reese slip away. It was shush- ed around the American Association last year that Boston bought into the Louisville club because Reese was on the roster. There was much head scratching when Reese was permitted to go to Brooklyn.
 Reese starred afield and at bat until he was injured. Manager Joe Crcnin could have well used Reese as a replacement for Shortstop Joe Cronin, who isn't as young as he used to be.
 Cincinnati missed also by letting Johnny Niggeling go. Johnny had been around long time and had had couple of chances. When the Reds let him go the St. Louis Browns
