IFS Axis Ships
Sent to Bottom

WASHINGTON, April 7 (UP) =
During four months of two-ocean
naval warfare American armed
forces have sunk 125 axis ships,
mostly Japanese, a compilation of
communiques revealed today.
Since Pearl Harbor the United
States has lost 83 ships, so of which
have been victims of axis subma-
rines in the Atlantic-46 merchant
ships. two destroyers and two coast
guard cutters. Another destroyer
and cargo ship ran aground in a
violent storm off Newfoundland
In retaliation. the United States
has sunk at least 81 axis subma-
rines and undoubtedly damaged
others. tSeven others were sunk in
the Pacific)
JAPAN'S LOSSES
The war in the Pacific has been
costly to Japan in shipping, and
the United States most potent Wea-
/. pom in the naval war in that area
has been the submarine. The Navy
department announced late yeSter-
day that American submarines have
sunk three more Japanese merchant
vessels in western Pacific waters.
Two of the enemy vessels, heavily
lladen" tankers, were sent to the
bottom in waters near the Carolins
Islands.
The lone submarine that sank
them was fired on by one of the
vessels bue escaped unhurt, the
Navy said
The third new japanese vessel
sunk was attacked in Japanese
home waters. No further details
were given
Those sinkings bring to more than
200 the number of japanese ships
sunk or damaged in the last four
months. OF these 104 have definitely
gone to the bottom. The United
States in that area has lost only 10
merchant ships, two Army ships,
two tankers and II warships, in
cluding submarine sunk in q COL
lision off Panama.
SOME UNANNOUNCED
Although only 104 Japanese ships
are reported officially sunk, the
number probably is much greater

Death Finds Landscape Gardener of Farrington- vile Working in His Rose Garden Natural Friendliness Endeared Him

were there, 50 were the Duttons, the Sloans, the McEvoys, the Farringtons, the Cliffords. the Dwyers, the Simpsons, the Aearng, the Aliens the Burkes, the Lawleys, and g few others. The neighbors often got together had their annual family parties at Old Grange Hall, and the district was commonly referred to by many as "Farringtonville."
 Anyway, some of the old crowd have since left, and few have always regretted their departure from the section. The whole neighborhood however knew Nick Plunkett; he was properly intro duced when he arrived, and the friendlincsg of the man from the beginning endeared Itself to all of his nearby residents. He made many friends and kept them for the remaining years of his life out here. That's why so many express sions of sympathy were heard when his death was announced. He seemed in the best of health. stocky. and rugged appearing, and just as strong and as healthy as he was in his younger days. He was never afraid of work.
 MT. Plunkett was faithful to the church of his choice, and for a number of years had been prominent in its activities. He was a fine example of q Christian man, bonr to live a life of fair ness and decency, and honor That's why so many Of us, sin ners feel that whatever reward comes with death will surely be extended to him for the good part he played while in the flesh.

tngton seeking federal funds TOT Op- eration of the same. The govern ment some time ago set Up funds for establishment of chiidren's cen- terS, homes. and day nurseries. re- alizing the eventual occupation of mothers in industry.
 The entire project will be handled by the Child Care Committee of the Waterbury Defense Council and plans have already been made to take over part of the former Kings bury home, at Prospect and Linden streets. Now owned by the Matta- tuck Historical Society, this organi- zation has given informal approval of such an establishment, rent free, but with certain restrictions.
 Practically the entire first floor of the structure, a room or two on the second floor, and the yard will be utilized for the Children's Gen. ter. A supervisor, several teachers to assist, and necessary equipment. including ofilce supplies, play-time devices and food sufficient to pro- vide lunches for children attending are contemplated.
 Miss Marion Hunt, who has been acting as chairman of an informal committee seeking establishment oi such a center, presented an infor- nal budget of $21 900 at last nights board meeting. Miss Hunt has beer extremely active in Investigating the possibilities of the plan and hat made a number of trips to Hartford to obtain working plans, as well at la recommended budget for such 2 center.
 Members of the board last night mentioned that the subject of car- ing for children of families, all adult members of which might be employed, was growing problem and recalled discussing 1t year ago. Although the Children's Center as now proposed, was referred to al an experiment., there was more Ol less informal discussion of elabora- ton of the plan if 1t became neces. sary and the original center proved inadequate to care for the situa. ton here in Waterbury.
 There seemed to be agreement oI opinion that the number of work. ing mothers in Waterbury would in. crease rather than drop in the com. ing months. Reopening of school will solve the situation of daytime care for children of school age, bu not for those below school age, i was pointed out.
 One of the requisites in obtaining federal funds for operation of sucf children's centers is sponsorship b, a municipal department. with schoo or welfare boardg recommended.
