POSTAL RECEIPTS
 INCREASED HERE
Payments on Income Tax, Money Orders to Other
 Cities Play Big Part

Charles A. Babin said yesterday that income tax payments early irl March and the transmission oi funds by industrial workers to their families in other states helped to boost the money order business at the post office to an increase ot 48.6 per cent in March.
 The increase for the quarter ending in March 31, was 32 per cent, he explained. Postal receipts also swelled to $5,O0l when the quarterly report was prepared by MT. Babln.
 Stamp sales were far ahead Of the first quarter for the previous year and added greatly to the unusual increase, MT. Babin stated. January and March business was noted as being exceptionally good although March receipts were especially large, being $l 300 over that of the preced- ing year for the same period.
 MT. Babin said because of the un- paralleled rush to file income tax returns, the money order business early in March climbed to such a great volume that he was com- pelled to add additional help in that department. It has since kept up al it's present rate, the postmaster said.
 Thursday and Friday, the post master said were exceptionally bus, days ct the post office and explained that on those days the workerl were paid, and that many sen money to other states. Because o the defense order, many have mi ! grated to Waterbury lo work.

Washington, April 14 - The es- tablishment of American bases in Greenland is more than a move merely to defend Greenland and the Western Hemisphere"
 It is a move in keeping with the American military doctrine that the best defensive is an offensive.
 American military occupation of the worlds largest island will keep potential enemies out of a land which our highest authorities long have told me they consider pos- sible takeof spot for air attack on New England.
 Greenland may be called "the icebox of North America" -- but not all of 1t is an icebox. The vast island is largely ice-capped. but our Government has reports that the ice-cap itself is natural air. field.
