There is no glamour to the

Three leading executives of the

day, May IA, at 500 P. M. to at

Stadler, Chairman of War Price

be held at Richard Montgomery

The object of this meeting is to

Cormick, Acting Regional Director,
Clifford R. Snider, Acting Regional
Attorney, and DR.. Lloyd C. Rey-
nolds, Regional Price Executive,
will discuss the new regulations
and answer questions.
Speaking of the meeting in
Rockville, Mr.. Mccormick today
said, "We are very anxious to have
all the people of Montgomery
County fully informed in every
way possible on the subject of
price control, and we feel that by
sitting down with them in their
own communities and simply dis
cussing our plans and offering
whatever assistance we can in
facilitating their cooperation, we
will more readily be able to carry
out this program"

The comparison might be over

These posts have been orga-
nized and are being handled
under supervision of The Ameri-
can Legion. It could possibly
be that posts are located too
closely but the positions were
designated by military authori-
ties and our acceptance of them
is merely evidence of confidence.
In the State there are about
800 of these observation posts.
The posts are operated on "a

|DAVI ALL-STARS
 SET FOR TANKS
COlOred Baseball Stars, Here Friday, Have Fine
 Record

Frustrated in his first attempt to inaugurate series of ten night exhibition games at the Municipal Stadium, Manager Fred Davi will trot out his much-heralded Brasscos Friday night to do battle with the powerful New York Black Yankees of the National Professional Negro league. The Yankees have one of their greatest teams this season un- der the direction of Tex Burnett and are at the present time put ting up great battle for the na- tional title.
 Just like the major league clubs, the Black Yankees go through ex- tensive spring training in the south. For the past two seasons they have made their spring training quarters in Memphis, Tenn. They play lot of games out of that city travelling many thousands of miles before they head back north. They usually spend about two months in training before moving back to New York around the middle of May. Thus they are as well sea- soned as any big league team.
 Prominent
 The list of teams which they have defeated this season is so long that 1t would require more space than this page would permit. Most notable among their victims are the Bushwicks, Bay Pathways, Newark Eagles, Philadelphia Stars, Home stead Grays, Baltimore Elite Giants, Hartford Sovitt Gems, Kansas City Monarchs, Memphis Red Sox, Bir- mingham Black Barons and many others. Most of these games have been played right in the major and minor league parks throughout the east.
 They have appeared in Waterbury in past seasons and have always proved to be crowd pleasers. Man ager Davi announces that there will be no advance sale for this game but that tickets purchased in advance for the first game will be honored Friday night.
