VETERANS FAVOR
 SUNDAY PARADE
Various Units to March Nov. 9; Exercises Ar-
 ranged for Nov. II

The annual Armistice day parade will be held Sunday, November 9 at 2 o'clock, representatives of Wa terbury veterans organizations last night decided. Two days later, on November II, additional observances will take place with the traditional Honor Roll exercises at Il o'clock, the annual veterans dinner-dance at Temple hall at 6:30 o'clock, and 8 radio program broadcast over 8 local station.
 Speakers at the city hall meeting of the General Committee urged that organizations seek to encour- age maximum representation for the parade. Some had opposed the staging of the yearly event, contend ing that persons employed on var- ious shifts in industrial plants would have difficulty in attending. After some discussion, however, plans were adopted by Q decisive margin in 8 roll call vote.
 Some doubt existed as to whether the two State Guard companies in this city would participate. Capt. William J. Dillon, parade chairman. and captain of Company E, stated that the participation of his com mand depended upon the weather, since the unit is equipped only with cotton uniforms and would be iifl- able to march in the event of cold weather. A reasonably warm day, however. will assure the presence of the company.
 Charles P. LaDue reported that all but a few of the tickets have been allocated to the various coIn- mittees, and the committee voted that all tickets must be returned by November 2. Another meeting will be held in the city hall next Friday at. 7e3O o'clock. 4 session of the Fl- nance committee will take place ct TOO o'clock for the purpose of draw ing up the budget.
 Chairman Francis w. Orencole announced that c meeting of the Veterans Council will be held Mon- day night at 500 o'clock in the American Legion home. Matters of interest to members will be the slib- joct of the meeting.

MANY NEW CARS <. ON ROAD TODAY
Used Autos Also Getting
 Great Play as Production CurtaiIment Looms

In anticipation of the sharp cur- tailment of automobile production this year and for an indefinite time in the future in conjunction with the concentration on defense work, Waterburians are apparently buying new cars and second hand cars at ! a record rate.
 The local office of the state motor vehicle department continues to do a rushing business, according to the report for the month of September, ! as well as for the entire year up to this month. Two entire sets of regis- tration plates have been issued, and just recently the department has begun the issue of @ third series for the present year.
 According to officials in the Wa terbury office, there was a decided increase in the number of registra- tions issued here in the first nine months of this year, as compared with those of 1940. September also continued the same trend.
 By mid-July the motor vehicle department had exhausted its first series of registration numbers, and started in one the second. More and more cars are now appearing on the streets with numbers like the following PIX 370, indicating that they belong to this second series. The first shipment of plates of 8 third series arrived at the local office of the department last week, and they, too, will soon be in evi- dence around town.
 As result of the nation wide aluminium shortage, the registration plates issued since July have not been made of this material, but of steel, which at the present time is much more readily obtainable. There has as yet been no offlical decision about next years markers, but 1t seems almost certain that the neces- city for the use of some substitute material for the usual aluminium plates will continue. The probability that the government will grant the automobile industry priority for its registration plates seems exceeding ly remote, in view of the other de- mands for the now-scarce material.
 During the past few months, the motor vehicle department has found more than one way to economize in its use of metals. Drivers license cards are now made of stiff paper instead of aluminium, and temporary registration plates are now made of cardboard like material, rather than of steel, as they used to be. Another innovation in these tenn porary plates is the printing of the expiration date on them, practice which is expected to curb previous abuse of the privilege of temporary registration.
 State Supervisor of Purchases Ed- ward c. Geissler has enthusiastically opened bids for contract for sup plying the department with alumi- mum markers for next year, but most of the bidding made it clear that their bids were conditional upon the securing of priority rights for aluminium from the government. The indications are that steel, brass, zinc or tin plate may be used instead.

Waterbury has today the largest Y. M. o. A. membership of any city of its size in North America, and one of the largest of any city in the country, after the completion of its most successful membership drive in its history.
 After the smoke of battel and the confusion of rival communiques had cleared away at the final re- port meeting last evening, 1t was rec vealed that the enrolment drive of the past week netted 1,9S6 Ynein- bers. This number however, repre- Sents only those members from whom renewals were due this month, and total membership in the local "" is now 4,500.
 General Michael V. BlanSfield's Blue army came from behind to defeat the Reds, under the leader ship of General E. Robert Stevenson by 9,2o6 points to 8,867, although the latter secured 92 more members than did tAe Blues.
