DEALERS SEEKING
 DEFINITE RULING
Auto Merchants Repre- sented Today at Confer
 ence in Washington

John J. Collins, president of the Waterbury Automobile Merchants association, and Ellery Wilcox, for mer president, were in Washington today to attend a conference with other dealers and federal repre- sentatives on the future of the re- tail automobile business. Clarifica- ton of many points on which there is now confusion is expected.
 Dealers do not know yet whether the present freezing" order will be lifted to sell their present stocks of cars or whether all will be pur- chased or requisitioned by the gov- ernment.
 Another problem is that of cars which were ordered and, in some cases paid for, but were not deliv- cred before the ban on auto sales went into effect.
 Used car dealers are fearful that orders affecting their business will soon be forthcoming. A heavy cur rent demand for secondhand cars is reported.

INTERNAL REVENUE
 STAFF AT SCHOOL
Special Instructions on New Laws to Start in
 Hartford Thursday

Conscientious persons who at- tempt to file their income tax re- turns the latter part of this week at the local internal revenue office will find to their dismay that the entire staff has departed, and the door is locked, according to announcement today by Senior Zone Deputy Ga- briel Price.
 The entire personnel of the Wa terbury office will be absent from January 15 to 21 inclusive, attend ing school of instructions for rev. enue agents in the hall of the House of Representatives at Hart ford, MT. Price said.
 Several instructors from the training division at Washington will discuss the provisions of new legiS- lation in regard to Income taxes, and will also talk on other phases of the Revenue Act of 1941. The purpose of the week-long school is to acquaint revenue collectors from all parts of teh state with the changes effected by this all-inclu- sive act, in order that they may be ready to assist taxpayers, especially with income tax returns.
 More persons than ever before will be required to make payments on income for l94l between now and mid March, as the exemption level for married persons has now been lowered from $2,000 to $500 and for single persons from $500 to $700.
 The staff of the local office, head ed by MT. Price, includes John J. TCarolan, John R. Lawlor, William C.. Mooney, Edward c. Kazemekas, and Michael J. Kyle.

Resurgence Of Life
 Needed Says Pastor
Rev. Louis Higgins Claims Tragic War and Great
 Human Suffering Teaching Us Personal Sacrifice

neither can Presbyterians nor Con- gregationalists nor any others. But if we will all bow before Him as His children without our handmade boundaries, only seeking to love God and our fellowmen, then we shall in- deed see His Kingdom.
 Beyond the confines of church or ganizations, how true this is of hte world. Low calibre nationalism is just as dead as low calibre religion. It is taking tragic was to teach us that we must work together, live to- gether, share together, if we are to build peaceful world.
 Perhaps we cannot go forward in world unity and peace now, but in this sad hour of the worlds history, the Cross as goal, as S way of life, is by far the greatest challenge to us all. That in it's light, and in its mes sage, we shall dare to spend our se1rc-, even to death, for those things which belong to His Kingdom.
 How shall we deepen the channel of personal sacrifice? By opening our lives to something, someone greater than ourselves. By daring to spend and be spent for the sake of great ideal, greater than we have even known before. can think ot nothing more challenging than this, to set Christ loose in our lives.
 It is taking a tragic war, and great human suffering to teach us this lesson. Peace and better world can only be bought at & price and the price is this: that men and women in this hour Of darkness, shall SC deepen the channels along which real religion moves, that when the time arrives, brotherhood, love mercy and justice shall come to our blighted world never to be lost again. Of the truth, Deep things are dis covered out of darkness.
 Let us resolve that 1t shall be said of us as it was said of our master 2O00 years ago, amid the dark ness the light shone, but the dark. ness did not master it".

FIREMEN GRATEFUL FOR PUBLIC'S AID
Chief Cavanaugh Voices Dept's Appreciation for
 Kindness at Fire

Chief Thomas J. Cavanaugh and Marshal Lahey today expressed themselves in appreciation of the kindness and thoufhtfulness of the many people in and about Exchange Place who remembered the firemen with hot coffee and eatables during the fire.
 Tt was far more than we expected or ever dreamed of," declared the Chief. But it proved conclusively we have some dear friends among the people of Waterbury, some who give us a thought now and then, and are most charitable in their words concerning all of us connected with the department; so many help ed us, were concerned regarding pos sible injuries, were fearful of our health, etc. we cannot recall just who they were, but just the same it made us think and realize that Old Waterbury doesn't forget its fire men, and that even some of our new residents have a kindly feeling toward all of us. If we knew all, we would write them personally, but tEis is an imrossibility, so we must express our thanks through the press, and that we now do."
 The Marshal said the appear ance of the Salvation Army was nothing new to the staff of the Marshal's office.
 We find the Salvationists at our side at all hours of the day and night when fire occurs; they are looking to perform an act of mercy for the good people who must leave the premises in case of fire. And there they were Thursday, the same as usual, with their numerous cans of hot coffee for the firemen, and all others whose duties were such they had to be on hand during the entire time the fire took place. We know the local history of this great organization; we know that they have done during all these years, and we know how kind and consid- crate they are to mankind in gen. efal during trouble. We doff our hats and bow our heads in deep appreciation of their kindness, as we do to all of the other store owners and managers, even of chain stores, for their interest displayed for the firemen during Thursday mornings bad fire.
 And the neWspapermen, these fire reporters; the stories published stand out to the credit of the men associated with our papers, and the pictures published, we feel, cannot be excelled by any newspaper in the country. The publishers of the Waterbury newspapers have just cause to feel proud and happy at the results of the fine young men who cover Fires in the city of Wa terbury.
 Incidentally, may I add." con- cluded the Marshal, "our Chief Cav anaugh never once during the en- tire day left the outside or interior of the premises; not once did he step inside to get warm. What a leader: what a fireman. No wonder the adjusters gave personal praise to the rank and file of the depart ment. They wondered how it was the firemen kept the damage down to the buildings involved. Our chief and his men saw to that"
