Special Arrangements Are Made to Accommodate
 Factory Employees

In an attempt to make conditions as pleasant as possible for the many defense workers in Waterbury, who have little opportunity to get away from the city, the park depart ment has issued them Q special in vttation to make use of its outdoor swimming pools at Hamilton and Chase parks.
 There is no charge for the use of the two pools, which are open daily except Sunday from 9 g. m. to g D. r11., with a regular staff of sup- ervisors in attendance. Both pools are kept clean by constant care, and are filled from the city reser- yoirs. Lighting system facilitates swimming until thA early evening.
 William J. Derwin, assistant sup ervisor of recreation for the park department, suggested that these evening hours are particularly suited to the needs of working men and women, although the 12-hour sched- ule on which the pools are run makes 1t possible for all shifts of workers to enjoy them at some time during the day.
 On Mondays, Tuesdays and We'd nesdays the Chase park pool is reserved for ladies, as is the Han1il- ton pool on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Miss Gladys Clap, Miss Marjorie Mariner and Mrs. Retdy are in attendance at the pools on ladies days.

STATE

Coming to close this evening at the air conditioned State theater is the tech1icolor production "Tl1e Sheperd of the Hills" co-staring John Wayne, Betty Field and Harry Carey, also Maureen O'Hara and James Ellison in They Met Tn Argentina"
 A picture that has everything that makes for swell entertainment comes to the air conditioned State to- morrow with the presentation of Adventure in Washington" CO., starring Herbert Marshall and Vir- ginia Bruce, and. young Gene Reynolds, new boy star, heading the featured supporting cast.
 The swift excitement of Wash ington today has been captured with brilliant breath taking surity by the producers. A scandal in Congress provides major portion of the films suspenseful narrative with Marshall appearing as the junior Senator from New York, and Miss Bruce cast as a radio reporter with all the "get-that-story" de- termination of her journalistis brothers and sisters. Looming equal- ly large are the Senate page boys, and young Reynolds in particular.
 As 8 Congressman important in the national scheme of things, Marshall turns down an attempted bribe made to him by 8 shady lob- byist, who wants advance informa- ton in order to further his wall Street speculations. The news leaks out, anyway. Young Reynolds seen as an East Side hoodlum whom Marshall has appointed to . re- sponsible post from sentimental reasons, is accused of the betrayal Finding no support from his own sponsor, who is too readily con- vinced of the boys guilt, the young ster does just what he is accused of--he sells out
 As the Senator, Marshall con- tributes a performance both digni- fled and human, one which is ia- vested with all the polish and suavity which has made him so popular a player. Miss Bruce is equally at home in her wise-crack- ing role, and particularly delight full when she broadcastS witt lightning breathlessness the news oi the day in manner faintly sa- tiric of present-day airwaves com mentators.
 As the misjuged and misguided page boy, young Reynolds turns in a performance of note.~
 Others in the cast include Samuel s. Kinds, Ralph Morgan, Pierre Watkin, J. M. Kerrigan and Tommy Bond.

The 'Keep Elm Happy" Club IS trying to cope with such situations which, Army officials admit, pre- sent a problem in morale. or course we won't suffer defeat on the battlefield because Joe Smith is wor- ried about his girl friend at home, but Joe probably will train better and fight better-if his mind is off his heart.
 A happy soldier Is good soldier. That is why the Army has a large and important Morale Branch in Washington that reaches into every fort camp and base in the nation.
 The girl back home can do the new Army lot of good, Capt. Francis E. Conder, morale officer at Ft. Harrison, Ind. believes, If in her letters to the boy friend in the service she tactfully avoids men tioning the dates she is having in his absence.
 Letters and lots of them are what the men in the Army want" he recently told young women of the Indianapolis Youth Forum. He ad- vised that depressing bits of news and gossip that diSCurb morale and get the soldiers minds off their business be left out.
 HOW CLUB CAME
 TO BE STARTED
 There aren't enough Captain Con- derS in the Army to reach every girl who has sweetheart in a training camp so the Keep Elm Happy" Club was formed Were in the 55th Division to carry the gospel to every one of them.
 This is the introductory item that appeared few weeks ago in "The Covered Wagon" 35th Division newspaper:
 'It,s pretty sad state of affairs when all your girl at home writes about are the fine times she's hay ing with George Spelvin.
 "All over the Division. little clubs are Springing up and all are aimed to keep the gals We left behind true to us.
 For instance over in the l4oth Infantry, g. group of H Company men have the tilted Lovers Club. Not oil have been tilted but they ex- pect it.
 '"TAe l34th Infantry has one called the Protective Society for Girls Back Home. The idea is to keep both girls at home and soldiers on the straight and narrow.
 Most of us believe we're certainly doing our part for National De- fense. All we ask of our girls is that they stay OUR girls

where such work can be ob- tained, or will we have to write our own? The suggestion has been made that we submit the new ap- plicant. for the local church job to sort of examination before we pass over the keys to the par sonage and the various funds con-
 nected with our thriving little church. If we put parsons on a Civil Service rate, think how much more we could get for our money.
 While their cruiser is being re. paired at Best sn, some 300 Brit ish tars are "sssting" at Camp Burlingame, Charlestown, Rhode Island. Camp Burlingame is a former eco camp, slightly re- moved from the well-trayeled highways. The Englishmen are not annoyed by either reporters or photographers from the pic- ture magazines. All marks of iden- tification are removed from the mems uniforms but they will talk readily over gin rickey or even a coke and 8 hamburger. Why not drive over and pay our Eng fish cousins a visit? The camp is just across the state line from Pawcatuck.
 If England is seeking place for 8 rest camp, we recommend the Flag Swamp area, or we'll sell them a slice of ur-of -the-way forest in Paradise. The Paradise region has a swell trout brook and an excellent pond for boat ing, fishing, or bathing. There's a quarry pool of crystal clear spring water. Come on, LondonI Let's hear from you! Bring a cer- tif1ed check on New York! We will see to it that Boxcar Annie is kept quiet while the seamen are resting here. We'll even tame the wildlife to assure peace.

writing to a soldier.
 2. To be honest with a sol- dier in camp and not lead him to believe she was being true when she was not.
 3. To let 8 soldier know as quickly as possible if her feel ings toward him changed and not to cause him mental an- guish" by simply stopping her letters.
 4. To remember at all times that the soldier is serving his country, and should be entitled to the utmost consideration when other men compete with him for her attention.
 A good response from 35th Divi sion soldiers was to be expected, bu men in other camps and girl the country who say daily newspaper accounts of th clubs formation swamped the "Cov cred Wagon" with requests for ap plications.
 Copies of the club insignia thre winged broken hearts circled | Lets Go Girls, Keep 'em Happy! had to he made for other cam publications.
