Invest Over $1, ,75O, ,OOO In Savings Bonds
ACT EXPLAINED
 BY BLANSFIELD
State Senator Speaker at Bay State Mutual Saw
 ings Bank Assn. Meet

Senator Michael V. Blansfleld, president of the board of trustees of the Savings Bank Life Insurance Fund of Connecticut, was a princi- pal speaker at the annual conve1- ton of the Massachusetts Mutual Savings Bank association at Stock bridge. He outlined the Connecti- cut act ard compared 1t with gen. orally similar act in the Bay State.
 The Waterbury lawyer-legislator predicted that the savings bank life insurance plan will prove highly successful in operation. He said in part:
 "savings bank life insurance in Connecticut is to be administered by savings bank life insurance fund trustees with supervision over plan largely resting with insurance com missioner and some limited super vision by bank commissioner. The plan will be self-sustaining from the very start in keeping with de- sire of representatives of savings banks who feel plan should stand on own feet from inception. With this thought in mind, 1t will be the desire of fund trustees to operate plan as economically as possible.
 "The savings bank bill in Con- necticut permits savings banks to sell life insurance policies Up to $1,000 to any one person. Under the bill in it's final form 1t will be im- possible for anyone to take out al- together, no matter where he goes, more than $3,000 of such insurance. Insurance is limited to residents of Connecticut. Insurance funds of savings banks are to be kept en- tirely separate from regular savings funds. Funds must be invested in the same restricted classes of se- curitieS as are legal irlvetments for avings departments of banks, and in addition, each bank must make payments into central guaranty fund, the savings banks establishing insurance departments will not be permitted to employ Salesmen, sol- icltorS or house to house collectors. Premium income on savings bank life insurance will be taxed same manner and same rates as domestic life insurance companies. Those ex- pected to benefit chiefll are low wage earners.
 "Since enactment of law confer- ences have been held and mechan- ics of operations studies Of both New York and Massachusetts plans have been studied. We will shortly review policy provisions. schedule of rates, dividends and non forfeit ure values"

TERMITES EVTCTED
 FROM HIGH SCHOOL
School Dept. Squads Of. fensive Crowned With
 Success

Attention all ye Crosby high stu- dentsi Here's two bits that none of you know all the changes that have been m ade in Crosby during the summer. Crosby, you know, was in- vadedl A strong army of termites has been repulsed in It's attempt at making a dinner of the building.
 It seems that the boring varmintt made the gym and the boys cafe. terla their hide-out, eating holes right ifi the floor. This action neces. sitated a goodly amount of activity and the installation of @ new floor during the vacation.
 According to James Shea, head janitor, all the damage has been re. paired. The old gym floor has beer replaced by new one, and the holes in the leaf" have been fixed.
 Take q. look at the statues ir the hall Now. really, don't they look grand2 They were, MT. Shes confldes, the recipients of great deal of attention this summer.
 Crosby now boasts a new sterili. zation system for the water in the pcol, according to John ?. McGough inspector of school buildings. Tn. stalllng the new system required much work in shutting the sewer connections, removing old pipes, and putting in new ones, MT, McGough added.
 And have you noticed the new paint jobs? A number of the floors have thus been rewarded for their hard years of service, along with the library, the dressing rooms in the gym. and the corridor floors.
 Also installed during the urnmer were a pair of basketball back stops in the gymnasium.

PRIORITY GIVEN
 BUILDING HERE
OPM Director Ruling to Aid Homes in Defense
 Sectors

A further increase in home building in Waterbury was predicted today as an aftermath of an ar,- Tlouncement from Washington that privately financed housing in de- fense areas will be given high prior- tiles on construction materials. Donald Nelson, OPM director of priorities, announced that priorities in materials will be given builders of dwellings in 270 defense areas, including il in Connecticut. The areas listed in this state include Waterbury, Bantam and Bristol.
 The prioritieS will make possible the securing of materials that are now scarce, such as electrical sup- plies, brass, copper zinc and hard. ware. Defense housing financed by the government will also be given priorities.
 The federal order affects houses costing $6,0o0 or less. The highest priority rating, after defense hous- ing units, will be given to remodel ing and alterations that will provide aditional accommodations for de- fense workers. Second preference will 90 to dwellings being built for rental at not more than $50 q month, and third preferences to dwellings being built for sale.
 A large increase in construction of one-fanily dwellings has been noted locally in the past year and now should be spurred by the rui. ing making materials available.
 Applications for priorities should be filed with the Federal Housing Authority, though the plan has no come ction with the E'HAs regular activity.

BRIDGE READY
 IN TWO WEEKS
Shortage of Materials, Labor Slowed Up BniId-
 ing Process

City Engineer Charles A. Root said today he expected the new Baldwin street bridge to be complet- ed and open for traffic within two weeks. probably by Oct. 1. 4 si1ort- age of available iaborers has been reported by the contractor, the b. Frione Construction %. of New Ha- ven, he said, and this has con- trfbuted to the delay in finishing the project: At the start of con- struction, shortage of materials de- layed operations.
 The bridge will not be opened un- til all work is completed, including the approaches and pedestrian cros- sings, the city engineer said. One sidewalk for pedestrians has been open for several weeks.
 Construction work could be com pleted sooner, Mir. Root said, if the city wished to lay Q less permanent pavement across the span. The pavement being laid is asphalt, on @ concrete base. The bridge was originally scheduled to be completed by Sept 16.
 Progress on the second pipe line to Morris is ''very satisfactory, MT. Root said. The line is major part of the city's water supply system expansion project, which also an- cludes a new dam, reservoir and chlorination plant.
 An adequate supply of steel is on hand, he stated, and the city ex- poets a favorable priority rating on materials very soon from Washing ton. The line is being installed by the Lock Joint Pipe O., of Ampere, N. J., for contract price of STA 900.
 MT. Root said that progress on the pipe line has been aided by ex- tremely favorable weather. The line is due to be completed by next June.
