weight since her last trip.
This time she pried herself into the COM
partment and then found it impossible to get
out without running big splnters into her
flesh. The crew tried to pull her out, but the
more the men yanked the deeper the splnters
dug. Finally, her subjects had to tear the
deck-house apart.
When Salote was young and beautiful she
had many suitors She was married the first
time about the age of IT, and has outlived
four husbands She is a widow at present.
Outside of news brought to port by trading
vessels Queen Salote's only contact with the
world Is by small, short-wave radio powered
by kerosene motor. But the war cut off
her supply OF kerosene, so Salote is a little

because all she wants to do is get away from

of others will be placed within the next few weeks.
 Speaking of the employment situ- ation as whole for this month MT. Nolan stated that a marked de- crease has been noted in placements. He attributes this to the curtail- ment of certain civilian goods which has necessitated transfer of em- ployment where otherwise additional workers might be recruited. He added however, that employment of new high school students will In all probability raise the figure to some extent before the month is over.
 Of the 200 student applicants for farm work only 50 have been used up to the present time and most of those for seasonal work. Mr. Nolan revealed that farmers showed re- luctance to accept young unexperi- enced workers and their general att titude was that they would not hire youths unless they had to. A total of 250 requests for farm laborers re- ceived at the office remain un- answered he stated, because there are no men to take the jobs and farmers have rejected offers of high school boys.
 Women's applications are being searched for notations of technical experience, the local employment manager stated. Those who are qualified will be given basic training for much needed technical work CTS.

GAS DELIVERIES
 RESUMED TODAY
Station Tanks Filled or Partly Filled as No Gas
 Signs Are Removed

The storage tanks of local gas%@ line stations, many of which neG been dry since last week, were be- ing filled or partly filled today as deliveries were resumed. The big "No Gas" signs were being removed from in front of many stations as their supplies arrived, but many dealers were still restricting the amount they would sell to an individual customer.
 About 50 per cent" of Water bury's gas stations were without gasoline for periods ranging iron two days to a week, 1t was stated by A, Lincoln German, presiden of the Waterbury Gasoline Retail CTS association. Many stations closed their doors last Wednesday or Thursday, some even earlier, but others, though without gas, stayed open to sell oil and other products and to service customers cars.
 The gas shortage played havoc with weekend plans of hundreds or Waterburians. Even short motor trips were out of the question as station after station reported no gas'. Adding to the difficulty was the fact that local stations, for the most part, close on Sundays. It was noticeable yesterday that several stations which had been open on Sundays in the past, were closed for lack of product to sell.
 MT. German said that numerous stations will be able to receive ad- dit!onal supplies beginning today.

 tiOn Industry in Danger

The Fourth of July week vaca- tion which thousands of factory workers have enjoyed in recent years is thing of the past for all but a smal fraction of industrial employees this year. The vital neces- sity for unabated war production this year has resulted in staggered vacation programs for some plants and no vacations, but weeks pay. in others.
 The Oakville O., division of the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, will, as far as could be learned today, be the only large local plant to shut down next week. Even there the shutdown will not be complete, for departments with war orders are expected to operate.
 The American Brass O.. Water bury Clock O., Chase Brass & Copper Co. and Scovill Mfg. Co.,, will follow the stagger system or give a weeks pay. None of these plants contemplates any shutdown.
 The staggered vacation system has been recommended by Donald M. Nelson, head of the war produc- tion board. It provides for taking only a few men from each depart ment each week, allowing produc- ton to go on without interruption.

ALL FAIRS MAY
 BE CANCELLED
All Unnecessary Travelling May Also Be Curtailed;
 Drastic Changes Due

Boston, June 22 = Postponement for the duration of all state and county fairs, in the interest oi furtherance of the war effort, has been asked by Joseph B. Eastman director of the office of defense transportation, according to word received by the OEM information office, IT Court street.
 MT, Eastman also called for de- ferment of all meetings, conventions and group tours which are not closely related to furtherance of tn war fort.
 Attndance at meetings which are closely related to the war program should be skeletonized, MT. Eastman said.
 Pointing to the steady rise in volume of passenger traffic on rail- road and bus lines, Eastman ap- pealed to the American people vol- untarilty to impose certain restric- tions on travel.
 Vacations should be staggered throughout the year, he said, and siloulr be scheduled so that trips would neither start nor terminate on weekends. Private passenger cars should not now be used for exten- sive vacation travel he added.
 DO not travel, aside from vaca- tions, for mere pleasure or when travel can readily be avoided" East man said.
 "If the American people will vol untarily impose certain restrictions upon their travel such as have been indicated, there is good reason to hope that no drastic control over travel will. be necessary.

WAR INSURANCE
 ASKED BY BANKS
Persons Holding Mort. gagged Properties Must
 Get Govt. Protection

Local banks are insisting" that owners of property on which there are bank mortgages apply for war damage insurance at least to the amount of the bank mortgage 1t was learned today. A spokesman for one local bank said that letters have been sent to all mortgagors advis- ing them of the provisions of federal regulations on war damage instlr- ance which become effective July 1.
 We are insisting that our mort gagors take out this insurance and If they refuse we probably will be forced to apply ourselves for this protection said representative of the real estate division of bank.
 Until July the government as- sumes the responsibility for the in- surance of property for damage from bombing but after that 1t will be incumbent upon the individual property owner to apply for such insurance protection. The general program is sponsired by the gov- ernment.

 g a. m. We locate a second enemy fleet $40 miles west of Mid- way and a third composed of transports southwest of 1t. Our car riers launch more than 100 planes and the sky is filled with torpedo bombers, fighters, dive bombers and scouters. They come up to the broad flight decks on elevators, un- fold their wings and start forward almost without pause.
