FLU' ON WAIVE
 IN WATERBURY
Mild Epidemic Is Abating Rapidly Declares Health
 Officer Dr. Godfrey

Waterbury's mid-winter flu epi- demic is definitely on the wane, ac- cOrdtng to a survey of conditions locally through figures obtained at the office of Health Offlcer Dr. Ed ward J. Godfrey. It was character ized as a mild epidemic by the local health officer and far from com- parable to the one the city expe- rienced back in 1918.
 A total of 34 cases of influence was reported to the health depart ment, ten of them being late cases or ones which were not immediately typed by attending physicians or hospital authorities as influenza.
 Three deaths were attributable to the flu in this city.
 In discussing the epidemic Dr. Godfrey pointed out that there were several factors which prevented more widespread prevalence of the disease in Waterbury. He said that the disease as diagnosed in most of the local cases was not of as viru- lent type as in other years; there was evidence of early care and prompt disqualification where need ed; use of new drugs, sue has the sulfanilamides, proved of consider able assistance in checking its in roads and spread.

BARRANI
E FRENcNN SAYS BAcKsHRTs SURRENDER AT sID
( .

Prof. Aglion thinks the real Ter rfbili" of the African campaign are the Free French.
 'There wasn't much food in the desert,e he says. And only . quart of water per man. But they couldn't stop us. We are die-hard patriots utterly desperate men, volunteering from all over the world. from Fin land, from America, from Syria.
 sFree Frenchmen have driven across 20OO miles of desert, some times with whole batteries of ar tiIlery. Algerian Spahis rode their hardy horses to capture Italian horses in Eritrea. Men arriving on foot, stark riaked-but always with a rife. Foreign Legionnaires volun- teered, some of them German. 1tal- ians came from Malta. A Jewish force helped take Solum."
 Free French military forces total well over the 8, 900 previously aIl- nounced Prof. Aglion reports, and are rapidly growing.
 UNTIL VICTORY
 Increasingly, after surrender, Italians renounce Fascism and even want to join up, he says. Libyans already have joined British General wavell,s polyglot force. When the Free Frenchmen's victorious trii color reaches the. border, he expects many of WeygaIid's vichy-control.- led army also to join up. As he puts it, Victory is the best propaganda" :"
 Thirsty, slln-scorched, sand burn ed, far from their homelands, the ing, Prof. Agiion declares, "quand- Free Frenchmen will keep on fight meme"-until final freedom from the dictators is achieved.
 "Quand-meme" means forever.

shirts-the Fascist militia. They were the ones who were going to conquer not only Egypt but all East and South Africa. Frankly, the 'Terribili' are terrible-as soldiers"
 One of the greasest ruses in mil itary history played decisive part in the British capture of Sidi Bar rani, according to Professor Aglion He tells how the way was opened by a trick equaling the Trojan horse. General Wavell, the British com mander, faked concentration of a force of tanks just enough smaller than the Italian forces to tempt the Italians to wipe them out, bu these tanks were of wood and he real British tanks struck the Italians in the flank, wiping the force com pletely out.

 There's a day we celebrate,
 It rhymes with Valley Forge, Just you think long enough
 And you've got it, by George Family name is Washington, A child you can't even fool, He knows his biographical quiz,
 He's learned his lesson in school Years may come, years may go
 Many history student has flunked, But even the failures in the class
 Won't see George w debunked. Father of his country, one,
 First president of the U. S., two, Head of the continental army,
 This can't be false, so it's true. So here's to the day we celebrate,
 It rhymes with Valley Forge, Show any three year old a hatchet
 And he's got the answer-George.
