Mrs. Matthew Adgate of this city, delegate from the Second Congre- gational Church, was named a di- rector of the New England Board of Pastoral Supply at the State Con- gregational Conference in Middle town yesterday.
 Rev. Dr. O. B. Griffin of Litch- field was named chairman of the committee on mems work while Rev. Paul A. Cullens of Newtown, former First Church assistant, was elected chairman of religious ed- ucation.
 Rev. Harold E. Craw of Danielson, former assistant at the First Con- gregational Church here, was chosen assistant scribe of the conference attended by 800 Connecticut dele gates.
 While admitting that this country and it's allies have made mistakes that helped to bring on the present war. Rev. Dr. Ferdinand @. Blan- chard, moderator of the General Council of Congregational Churches ofthe United States, urged Ameri- cans to see where the mass of the weight of evil lies" and not to stay forever begged down in a mass of repentance.
 He urged churchmen to take a definite stand on the war issues, warning that if they do not i've will be making the most colossal mistake we can make as church."
 Dr. Blanchard cited two extreme alternative attitudes, which he said have been adopted by some clergy men, one which completly isolateS itself from the war question and another which sees "all the angels on one side and all the devils on the other" Both these viewpoints the speaker repudiated

CITY MADE PROFIT
 ON STREET METERS
Plaintiff Files Brief An. swering City's Charges
 in Formal Appeal

Claiming the City of Waterbury made profit of $15,000 in 1941 from operation of parking meters, Atty. John H. Cassidy in a counter finding on the city's appeal states a judgment for damages and an in junction to refrain the city from operating the meters is justified. MT. Cassidy was awarded $100 dam ages by Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas J. Wall who declared the meters illegal. The counter-com- plaint is the answer to the defense motion for an appeal to the su- preme court of errors, and Judge Wall will now file memorandum on the appeal action.
 Admitting that the main purpose of meters is to regulate traffic the plaintiff states the city nevertheless made a profit from use of meters without authorization to do so. The finding states that the police board had no power to purchase meters and that charter provisions were violated because there was no con- petitive bidding, no appropriation no proper order for the installation and no approval by the board of aldermen.

Alaskan Flyer Bags TwoJaps In Single Raid

Headquarters, Alaska Defense Command, Oct. 7-(UP)-Lieut. A. T. (Stingy) Rice of Alhambra, Cal, was credited by fellow fIiers today with being the first fighter pilot in the battle of thesAleutians to bring down two Japanese planes in single raid.
 They said he set an ammunition economy record which should stand for a long time.
 Rice and Lieut.. Gerald R. John son of Eugene, Ore, were assigned to a recent s:rafing mission against enemy positions on Kiska Island. They skinned over the positions, strafing barracks. am- intuition dumps and other install 1atiOnS.
 They were returning when Rice saw two Japanese Zero planes in the air over KiSka harb0r. AL though there was only five rounds of ammunition left in one of his guns, he circled back and att tackled.
 Rice used four of the rounds to drop one of the ZerOs and the second Japanese plane dove for the tail of Rice's craft. But Rice got behind the Zero with sudden maneuver and shot it down with his last shell.
 Johnson, too, shot down a Jap anese plane with one bust of fire after chasing it down a grassy hillside.

 MARIE SPECIAL
ThOmastOn Girl Occupies $25O Seat at Army Show
 at Garden

Seven salesgirlS and a young dis play artist occupied $25O seats as guests of honor at the giant Army Relief show in Madison Square Gar den, New York last "Wednesday night. The eight were selected from among the w. T. Grant company's $ 22,000 employees because they devote the greatest percentage of their weekly salaries to the regular pur- chase of War Bonds. The company's S national champion is Mrs. Mildred Munroe of Hyde Park, Mass, who invests 68 per cent of her salary without batting an eyelash!
 The eight realized an unforeseen return on their patriotic investment when their employer rewarded them with an all-expense trip to New York where they were officially greeted by Raymond H. Fogler president of the company and Rich ard c. Patterson, Jr., chairman of the Treasury Departments New York War Savings staff. A banquet was held at the Hotel Astor in their honor, attended by w. T. Grant founder of the company and all Its top ranking executives after which the winners attended the relic show. The remainder of their time in New York was spent in round of many of the glamor spots of the city.
 Mary King of Middletown, Ohio; Ruby Wursten of Salt Lake City; Marion Englebrecht of Schenectady N. Y.; Marie Special. Thomaston Conn; Lillian Gentillela. New Lon- don, Conn; Mildred Ward anc Leonard Fellows of New York were the other winners, all of whom in. vest 30 per cent or more.

folk dances and games, and exhibits of work accomplished in the vari- ous scout program fields.
 Members of the Girl Scout or ganiZation in the Waterbury area total 1,474 and Mrs. Tennant FL win, chairman of the rally, said to- day efforts would be made to have complete turnout for the event which is the first of its kind held in Waterbury in many years.
 Plans for the national victory drive call for the purchase of a defense stamp by each member of the Girl Scout organization in the country. The stamps will be con- verted into war bonds and held in trust until the money can be used for relief of child war sufferers. Each local Girl Scout will be asked to contribute stamp to the cause. The girls will be asked to earn the price of the stamp they contribute.
 Stamp Collection
 The national headquarters which will be in charge of the stamp col- lection will announce the total do- hated on Dec. ', the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. It is believed the funds may approach the $2O0,000 mark. National registration figures reveal that over 725,000 persons are enrolled in Girl Scouting in the country. Trustees to administer the fund have been selected from the national board of directors.
 Assisting Mrs. Elwin with ar- engagements for the rally are Miss Sarah F. D. Miller, executive secre- tary of the Waterbury Council; Miss
