NAACP Drive
Closes with a
Big Bang
By Isaac L. Moore

The annual membership drive of
the Minneapolis Branch of the
NAACP closed Tuesday, June 2,
with bang. There is great con-
sternation in camp as to who are
the successful competitors. The
Secretary was kept very busy tab
ulating the votes. At this writing
no definite statement can be made.
Watch the next issue of this paper
in which the successful winners
will be announced and the prizes
will be awarded at mass meeting
to be held at Phyllis Wheatley
House, Sunday, June ID, at 8 p. m.
A good program has been ar
ranged. Be on hand to cheer your
favorite team.
Though the drive is officially
closed that doesn't mean that those
who were not approached cannot
take out memberships. Come pre-
pared at our mass meeting to help
US go over the top. An interesting
speaker will address the meeting.

Surprise Blackout In City Most Successful
Rest Held in Waterbury, Of All Previous Attempts; There Was Almost 100 Percent Cooperation
 By People With DimOut Officials

Authorities were agreed today that last nights surprise blackout was the best held in Waterbury to date. Almost 100 per cent coopera- ton with air raid wardens ana other civilian defense workers by the public was reported. Making the blackout more effective was the fact that the Scovill Mfg. Go. and the American Brass Go. joined III the test for the first time.
 SaSsle isnprcsed alarm system was the subject of much favorable com ment. Many sections hitherto re- garded as "dead spots" reported that the sirens could be heard plainly last night, even above t--e noises of radios and traffic.
 The blackout signal was sounded at 8 o'clock, after civilian defense officials had had only few minutes advance notice. The all-clear was sounded IS minutes later.
 Public Answered Call
 Martin Cattaneo, communications director for the state defense coun- ell, and Douglas Loring, manager of the local telephone exchange, re- ported that the public had given an impressive demonstration of coop eration by not Using phones during the test period. Very few calls were made during the blackout period.
 Mayor Vincent A. 6cully and Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin warned today that no more leniency will be shown violators of hIackout regulations. Tn future tests, they said, arrests will be made oi those responsible for leaving lights | In stores and homes unattended. \. oE Wh are guilty of other violations.
 As the sirens began their wall street lights blinked off. Lights n thousands of homes were extin- guished in a minute or two, while i llRhss in stores, theaters and bus iness houses Tor the most part tool somewhat longer to go off.

MAYOR EATEN TO
 GET NOMINATION
Torrington Official Will Be Unanimously Named for
 Congress Today

Mayor William A. Patten of Tor rington will be named Democratic candidate for congressman in fifth district convention at Torrington's city hall this afternoon. With no opponent in the field, the nomina- ton will be his by exclamation.
 Waterbury's 46 delegates, together with those from other New Haven county towns and all of Litchfield county, will cast its votes for the chief executive of the New City. He will be one of four candidates in the field, opposing candidates of the Republican, Socialist and American Progressive parties.
 Mayor Patten is regarded as the strongest Democrat in the entire dis trict, with the exception of Mayor Vincent A. Scully of Waterbury, who has declined to seek offlce outside his own community. Democratic leaders believe that Patten is the man to defeat Congressman Joseph E. Talbot (R), who went into oftice in e special election last January The Talbot victory ended Democratic control which had lasted for more than eight years. Talbot succeeded CongressmaIi J. Joseph Smith, who resigned to become judge of the U s. district court.
 During the congressional cam paign, Democrats will seek to tak' advantage of Litchfield county TO, sentiment against the state O. o. ? leadership. They expect Mayor Pat ten to take many normally Repunli' can votes in rural areas of th' county.
