ARMY DEPENDENTS GIVEN PROTECTION
Hospital Plan Members Entering Service Receive
 Generous Offer

Members of the Connecticut Plan For Hospital Care who enter the armed forces of the United States may now protect the membership of dependents enrolled through them although they themselves do not continue to be members, it was an- nounced today by Robert Parnall, general manager of the plan.
 Subscribers entering the Army, Navy, Marines or other branch of the military forces are not likely to need their Plan membership during the period they are in service, as disqualification is provided by the government in nearly all cases. "For this reason" Parnall said, there is naturally tendency for such sub scribers to drop their membership, and leave dependents unprotected at a time when they need it most. Family earning power is naturally lower with the head of the house. hold receiving service wages, and a hospital bill incurred during such a time is an unusually heavy blow. Under the new regulations, these dependents can be protected"
 A subscriber entering the armed forces of the United States may can eel his membership with the priv ilege of reinstatement within 90 days of his discharge from service. Ordinarily, members who cancel may be reinstated only if they apply in the usual way as member of group through some place of em- ployment, and members who cancel after receiving benefits under the Plan cannot subsequently, be rein- stated. Both there regulations have been waived for service men.
 If the subscriber has enrolled any prior to the date of his entrance into military life, the first ependent-usually the wife-may become a subscriber, regardless of her employment status, after certi- fication of her husbands military activities.
 If the wife is the original sub scriber, and her husband leaves for military service, she may drop him from her membership after proper certification, with reinstatement privileges within 90 days after dis charge.
 If the wife is the subscriber and goes into nursing or other military service the husband may become the subscriber under the new provisions as outlined above.
 A married woman who enrolls as a new subscriber with group form ed at her place of employment will not be required to include her hus- band on her application if he is in military service.

Junior Women
 Hear Attorney

Attorney Edward J. Baithazar ad- dressed the Junior Women's Club last evening on ''The Wide Range Of Art" He explained that many peo- pie think Art is confined to self ex- pression by means of pictures and statuary only, whereas the truth is that art conditions all of our en- deavors to make ourselfs and our places in the world more attractive. Art Is a fundamental need in man, 1t Is . deep primary impulse in everyone to want to express himself and improve his surroundings. Ex- perience of art cannot be the same in all people, the feeling of art changes with each generation. MT. Balthazar said, "Art is that activity that may produce for us more of the fulfillment of life" He informed the audience that very early artists painted imaginary things and peo- pie, then after the dark ages when the world became conscious of science there was a trend toward stark realism, but in the 20th cen- tury the painters have gone back to fancy. He said that Surrealism may be defined as metaphore, and that 1t is a very old style of express sion dating back to Jerome Bosch. MT. BalthaZar illustrated some of his points with examples of his own work.
 Miss Villa Bristol called for vol unteers to assist in the many forms of defense duty being carried on throughout the city, she stated that any further volunteers should con- tact Ivy Needham, Defense chair man. Mrs. Walter Upson gave a re- port on a meeting of the Waterbury Defense Council held recently to which she and Mrs. Frederick Pier pont were delegates.

The tenth annual baseball circus
may now be filed away in a wrap
ping Of lavender and old lace, and
members of the baseball writer's
Association won't mind bit If you
file them away with 1t. What with
the thunderstorm, the 52-ninute
postponement, the black-out and q
west-bound train which left New
York Just two hours after the game
ended, they're still as jittery as the
Wright boys that day at Kitty
Hawk.
Trying to drive ball through
that American League infleld COM
bination of Rudy York, ice Gordon,
Lou Boudreau and Ken Keltner-
as the National League players will
be quick to tell you-was something
like trying to drive the same ball
out of a hotel room with the door
locked, the windows boarded and
the key-hole plugged. Although the
gate Melted the bat and ball fund
sos, 600, the Nationals still don't
think it was worth it.
ALI Boudreau did was knock the
second pitch Of the ball game for
a home run, start two double plays
and end the Nationals one big scor-
ing chance with a brilliant running
staff Of Pee Wee Reese's singing
line drive in the seventh inning.
The fans had quite bit to say
about the performance Of the young
Cleveland manager, as did Leo
