 luke box record sales are key in. dices of musical popularity, for the nations 100000 gaudy, automatic record players-heard in ice cream narlors, saloons and dance halls the country over-are more responsible than any other factor for the phen-- omenal rise in record sales this year. TREND GOES TO
 LATIN AMERICA
 While the sale of records does not make or break music publishers, be- cause the margin of profit is small, records can and do make orchestraS. woody Hermarl's band, for example, was lost in the welter of relatively rnknowns until he recorded his ar- ranqement of "Frenesi."

 The popularity of "Frenesi," in, cidentally, is indicative of another new trend in this unorthodox musi' cal year. Never before has the U s. been SO Latin-America conscious musically. A hit tune like Aurora has been recorded by no less than 1' different bands.
 The most popular of the South American tunes at the moment, judging by requests received by Xavier Cugat, long the leading U. s. exponent of Latin-Americal1 tempos, is 'Babalu." So strong is the La tin-American trend that Bing CroS- by, currently the biggest single att traction on records Gin one month Decca sold over 5OO,O00 Crosby rec ords), is now singing some Latin American tunes in Spanish.

Waterworks Held Up

Construction Of the first section of the Oakville waterworks system is being held up because priority for the pipes cannot be obtained. It was originally planned to start construc- ton today, but this cannot be done because no pipe is available nor is it known when Oakville will be able to purchase this and other material.
 In the meantime, the district has sold $72,O0O worth of bonds at 2ls per cent interest. This action was taken by vote of the district before the priorities snag. Now, the district finds itself in the predicament of having a lot of cash on hand which it cannot use and on which 1t must pay interest. Efforts have been made to put some of the money in- to savings banks but so far only $6,O00 has Been able to be disposed of in this manner. Interest on the 72,O00 is approximately $5 a day.
 An attempt is being made to get a priority ruling favorable to the district in view of the need for wa- ter in a community in which large numbers of defense workers live in which many new dwellings are oe- ing erected.
 The Waterworks committee is headed by Frank Withey and in- cludes: Howard Ande and John Murphy. The district treasurer is John Lynch.

Housing Fund Bill

An additional $3.50 100000 appro-
priation for public works in defense
areas of the country is authorized
in a bill unanimously approved to-
day by the House Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee.
A Sl50,000,000 initial appropria-
ton for the same purposes and
from which the District is due to
get about s2,5O0,OOO has already
been allocated.
At the same time Chairman Lam
ham of the committee today went
before the House Rules Committee
to ask a special rule for the sec
ond s30000O000 defense housing
modernization bill. The rules group
is meeting late this afternoon with
the expectation of reporting out
the rule. Mr.. Lanham asked debate
limit and quick action in response
to Army and Navy pressure.
The two measures are separate,
one dealing with defense public
works in areas where municipal
facilities have been overtaxed and
the. other relating solely to housing
facilities.
Approval Of the public works
measure by the Buildings Committee
came after Col. M. E. Gilmore. COM

prlatlons committees as the need
develops. The Federal Works Ad-
mln!stration continues in admins
