MAKE WING SECTIONS

The corporation will make inner

production is expected to start
this Spring. When peak produc-

present idle plant will be in use.
Most of the tooling necessary for

of the processing of the long-range
bombers, known as BPS, and
stated that an entirely new type
of plant would have to be con-
structed in River Rouge to manu-
facture them.

Naugatuck, Oct. 31 - A clear r-cut conception of the immense amount of unselfish and serviceable work done by the Naugatuck Chapter, American Red Cross, during the past year was given by reports of various committee chairmen at the annual meeting of the chapter yes- terday afternoon in the chapter house.
 John w. Hayes, vice. chairman of the chapter, pointed out that there was total of 19,954 hours of volunteer service during the year. He said this is the equivalent of 10 persons working 52 40-hour work weeks.
 There has been a big increase in the Red Cross work in the past year and even more work is antici- pated for teh new year., the reports showed. Defense work has domin- ated this year, Carlisle B. Futile, chairman, said. He poined out the chapter now uses two rooms on the upper floor of teh building where 1t Is located, in addition to its first floor offices. It is now using substan- italy the same amount of space as it did during the World War period, he scid.
 He said the workers have done an outstanding job in the past year. All officers were reelected, there being only one change. John H. Schmuck, who was member of the executive committee, was elected to one of the vice-chairman post, the chapter now having three vice-chairman offices, instead of two as in the past.

That we see, jack-o-lanterns so big and round And we hear the most horrible sounds. Yes, this is Halloween, come at last And are the folks glad when. it has past,
