MOfNAIh1, JUNE lo
 Adverse aspects dominate today which brings evil portents of Army and Navy clashes. The morning may be depressing to sensitive per- sons, for Mars is in evil sway.
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration aged members of the family are fortunate and their counsel should be sought, for they may understand current events through their knowledge of the philosophy of history. While this configuration prevails there may be sense of illustration which should be overcome by positive methods of distracting attention from world agonies. Wise women will pursue accustomed paths of activity, em- phaSizing the comforts of home and bringing into the family circle those who need good cheer
 Business Affairs: Warming | is given that there will be terrible waste in the use of the vast amounts of money voted for na- tional defense.

was prevalent a few months ago. Mars is in a place that stirs the patriotic spirit and each day de- cisive steps will be taken toward invincible defense as well as mex haustible aid for Britain. AstrolO- gers warn that there are signs which forecast actual participation in world conflict.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of an- xiety. Nasty decisions should be avoided, for deception will be practiced.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fairly lucky through eventful careers. They may be emo- tional and impulsive and should be carefully disciplined.

HOROSCOPE "Tke st0rs incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, JUNE IS

There is a strong benefic aspect today, but adverse planetary in- fluences are active. It is a date suspicious for religious observances and philanthropic efforts.
 Heart and Home: Women are well directed under this configuration which presages for them intense interest in religious organizations and close study of the Scriptures, especially the old Testament prophecies. Under this planetary government there will be a trend toward strange cults and occult investigations. Astrologers set forth that simple faith in the religion of the stars which is in the ground work of long-accepted creeds will protect seekers of truth. This is a day when there should be special attention given to prayer and to high aspiration, for there are omens of supreme potentialities.
 Business Affairs: Great needs must be supplied this week if Brit ain is to benefit. Trade and com merce will have to meet severe de- mands. The stars seem to presage exigencies that test American powers but the nation is to dem onstrate its splendid possibilities. Prosperity will be widespread as June brings to the United States promise of increased production of food staples. Abundant crops are forecast, although there will be losses through weather vagaries.
 National Issues: Financing of the defense program is to be widely discussed, for the cost of the rec ord breaking program is t0 rise above even the amazing estimates made when Congress appropriated billions. Charges of Government extravaganza will be made inad- visably. Events are to prove that while haste makes waste it was necessary for the Federal Govern ment to get results at any cost When Uncle Sam, fully arme q gives, commands or issues warnings Europe and Asia will recognize him as the most formidable of all foes 1 International Affairs: Continued conflict is indicated in Europe, but ir Asia, China will benefit through change in the aggressive policies of Japan. Disagreements among the three dictators in Europe will be carefully concealed, but the seers prophecy that all of them will fino this a year of fateful events which presage the final defeat of Hitler and Mussolini. Stalin will offer many a puzzle for diplomats while the stars appear to aid him in in- ternational relations. Internal un- rest in Russia is forecast and a drastic change in the Soviet form of Government is prognosticated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of finan- cial gains which may tempt them to be extravagant and even osten- tatious. They should be wary oi | flirtationS.
 Children born on this day vii be sensitive to beauty, extremely talented and exceedingly generous Success awaits many.

 Plasnla Bank Here

A Plasma bank Is being created in Waterbury by the aid of the Donor club, Dr. Joseph o. Collins, pathol- ogist, at the Waterbury hospital arl- nounced yesterday. The club is composed of 200 employees of the French Mfg. Go, and they will con- tribute to this storage of the fluid.
 The pathologist said that the first supply could be depended on from the French Go. club members who have volunteered to donate their blood when called.
 Plasma is not replacement for blood in transfus1ons but acts itl an emergency as a cell absyarce tin- til the transfusions from the proper blood type are given. It is @ fluid element of blood used to reduce shock and to restore lost proteins and has proved 1t efficacy in the European countries where soldiers and civilians wounded, received this treatment.
 The club was organized when Dr. Collins asked Ray F. Messinger at the French Mfg Co.,, if he could provide donors. The request was re- sponded by the employe and this formed the nucleus for the plasina bank.
 This store of plasrna in the hos pital could meet an emergency should 1t arise in Waterbury, Dr. Collins explained.

Governor Delays Signing Charter Revision Measure
Special to The Democrat)


 State lCapitaol, Hartford, June 12 - The Waterbury charter re- vision bill, which makes many ad- ditions and alterations to the charter is still in the office of the expressing clerk and may not reach Governor Robert A. Hurley for his signature for some time.
 The governors executive secre- tary, James E. Murphy, told The Democrat today that no request for tpeedy action on the bill has been received. He said 1t may be Clos0 to July 1 before the measure, which contains an extremely lengthy text, reaches the executive offices. It has been Governor Hur- ley's practice to break through the red tape of regular procedure and sign the original copy of bill, without waiting for the engr0ssed copy, when there Is some special need for hurry or when special request is made.
 One step being delayed i'm Wa terbury until the governor has af- fixed his signature is that of a raise for Health Officer Dr. Ed- ward J. Godfrey and his assign lnent to full-ti,ne duty, as pro- vided i'm the charter bill
 Pension system changes, revi- siOns in sewer assessment and numerous other charter aInend- ments will not become effective until the charter bill has been signed.
