JUNIOR COLLEGE
 OPENING DELAYED
Work on WOmen's New DOrmitory Held Up By
 Lack of Materials

The opening date of day claseS at the Junior College of Connecti- cut will be delayed one week, stalt- ing on September 9 instead of September IS, it was announced to- day by E. Everett Cortright, presi-
 dent of the Junior College.
 This change in the college calen- dar was authorized yesterday by the trustees after learning that due to the unusual situation caused by the national defense program, contrac- tors responsible for renovations and remodelling plans in the new wo- mems dofmitory, on the former Lalley estate, have been held up in their work because of delays in the deliveries of building materials.
 According to the changed dates, freshmen and other new students will report to the college on Mon- day, September IS, instead of Sep- tember 8, for their week of orienta- tion. The registration date for so- phomores and other former students will be Wednesday, September IT, instead of September 10, as previ- ously announced and classes will start on Monday, September 9 in- stead of September IS.
 This change in the college calen- dar applies only to day classes and does not affect the evening schedule. Registration for evening classes will be held during the week of September 15-19 as previously an- nounced and evening classes will begin on September 22.
 Tn 8 special letter to all the stu dents at the college, President Cort- right assured those who will live in dormitories that their living fa- cilities will be in perfect readiness by the new announced opening dates. He indicated that under nor nal conditions all the remodelling could easily be completed by Sep- are allowing this extra week for un- tember 8, but the college trustees expected delays which may be caus- ed by national defense priorities on building materials.

living cost of the average family. cost s1.Ol in the first six months of this year against $l in that Is4O period.
 Rents throughout the nation averaged $l.O1 in the first six months of this year against s1 in the same period last year. Shelter costs, of course, scared in newly created defense centers.
 During the entire first six months of 194l living costs indicate the efforts of business and govern ment to keep prices as stable as possible under most difficult cir- cumstances."
 How Real Incomen Is Figured
 Mir. and Mrs. American Consumer in this study, receives income from wages, salaries, investments and other sources in proportion to the national distribution of such pay ments. Their living expenditures likewise are those of average householders. Their "real income, ]" or buying power, is their actual ability ka buy regularly needed goods and services.
 Real income" is not a mere sub- traction of cash income from cash outgo, which would be an index of savings rather than real income" but an average relative figure of. in- come. and outgo designed to show how the cost of living affects the adjusted dollar income.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-29

Their "real income" was $1.22 against q in the first half of 1oz0.
 The six months comparisons, explained the report, showing as 1t does substantial gain in the real income, of MT. and Mrs. American Consumer, does not completely reflect the growing problem of price control and cor1- sumner goods shortages. Behind these figures Is steady upward trend in cash income, particularly from wages and salaries, and 8 growing tendency in recent months towards price increases engender- ed by defense needs and mounting consumer demand.
 Record Employment Lifts Incomes
 Record employment during the first six months of 1941, along with overtime pay, both largely the re- suit of defense and allied activt- ties, have fattened wage envelopes and expanded salary checks. Wage envelopes in the first six months of this year contained $l.38 against Sl in the same 194O period. Salary checks in the first half of 1941 were made out for SLY against $1 In the like period of a year ago.
 "Other income, which is derived particularly from farm earnings, but includes rents and royalties, in the first six months of this year average $1.13 against $1 in the same period of the preceding years. Heavy marketings of animals and crops, to obtain the higher prices offered, along with parity payments, 1n- creased farm income.
 Investment income, chiefly divi- dend payments and interest dis bursements, only partially reflected the higher rate of business activity as higher costs and taxes, actual and anticipated, needed for defense lowered or checked a rise in net profits commensurate with addi- tional volume of bsuiness handled. Investment income in the first six months stood at $1.O6 compared with $1 in the like 1940 period.
 Clothing for men, women and children, in the first half of this year cost $1.04 against $1 during the same period of the previous year.
 Food Costs Rise Slowly
 Miscellaneous items, largely made up of all other goods and serv- ices excepting food, clothing and shelter-cost $1.02 during the first half of this year against $1 in the same 1940 period. This group mir TOTS diminished imports, higher wages and salaries. and growing scarcities of such luxuries and senli- luxuries, as well as increasing na- tional consumer incomes which permit greater attendance at sport ing and theatrical events.

 It now develops, however, that these Russian troops i'm the Caucasus may prove life saver. In the first place they will be needed there to defend the vital Russian oil fields. Second, it was the presence of this pow erful force which permitted the Russians to advance into Iran mere quickly than the British.
 Finally, this route through the Caucasus and Iran now turns out to be the chief line of communi- cation between Russia and her new ally, Great Britain. There are only three possible means of getting British supplies into Rus- sia (1) Archangel and the Arctic, which in addition to being froz- en. is already virtually cut off by German troops; (2) Vladivos- tok which can be shut off by Japan: and (s) through the Gulf of Persia and Iran.
 This latter is the shortest route and the one which will be used.
 It Is g rough, top route with one notwithstanding highway and no railroad. But at least there are ample Russian troops on hand to guard it - thanks to advance NaM trickery which back fired.
 NOTE - These troops will be especially needed if Hitler decides to invade Turkey and close in on the Caucasian oil fields from two directions.

STEFAN LEAVES THE SWORD


 Vincent Sheehan seems to have borrowed more than the title of his new novel, Bird of the Wilderness" (Random House: $2.5O, from Rab- indranath Tagore.
 It is with the same chiseIed, chilly objectivity that gives "The Gardener" such cool Splendor that the author manipulates his story of young, uncertain love in Illinois at the time of the last war.
 Not that bookish, moody, hyper sensitive Bill, Owen, who liked the right things in the wrong way" is any waxen man. His groping de- votion to the quiet little English teacher who helps him discover himself, his gentle love for his music-teacher mother are as real as the boys mpatience to join the Army.
 He does, finally, after waging desperate inner war against the restrictions of Small-town Parker ton, where everything he did twas like bankruptcy or an illegitimate baby, impossible to remove from the domain of public knowledge"
 Otherwise this impersonal history may be a disappointment to admir- CTS of the man who in one book borrowed new dignity for freedom from the Ebro and the Sudetenland, and who, in another, tin-canned the Daring Desmond school of journal ism and articulated a generation.
