LOCAL PIANIST SCORES TRIUMPH
Miss Emeline RanaudO
 Thrills Bridgeport Audi- ence With Splendid Work

Miss Emeline Ranaudo, local pia- mist, scored 8 convincing hit as soloist with the Bridgeport Sym phony Orchestra in the ninth of its Pop" concert at Pleasure eBach, count appearing the Bridgeport Monday night, according to an Post.
 The writer praised the concert highly, but admitted tha it was slightly interrupted at times by the voice of a barker at nearby amuse- ment resort. Massinet's "Medita- tion" from "Thais" was almost rudely broken up by the raucous tones of the announcer.
 Miss Ranaudo's selection was Schumann's first movement from Concerto in A Minor"
 According to the Bridgeport writ CT, "The guest artist gave an in- depreciation of the long difficult piece with nimble flexible fingers as although she and the piano were one. In the fast moving sequences of the plaintive composition, her hands rolled over the keys like an ocean wave tossed along the sea- shore by cool, summer breeze. The 800 individuals who attended fixed her and her playing. They called her back three times and each time she nervously returned and shyly bowed. It was Miss Ranaudo's first public appearance in Bridgeport.
 "A composer of short classical se- lections the young musician will continue her studies in the fall when she will make use of the Charles Ditson Fellowship which she was awarded at the Yale School of MuSic."

five percent of their gate receips have found means of pairing their expenses. Garden clubs, busy with war work, have found time to stage one-day shows with the receipts from the sale of flowers, fruits and vegetables being donated along with the admissions.

These registered Shows will not only make awards for fruit, flowers and vegetables but will also feature home canning and conservation, with ; view toward making an increased supply of wholesome food available to both civilians and the armed forces.

SIX NEW ENGLAND
 GOVERNORS MEET
Gather in Augusta, Maine to Discuss Threatened
 Oil Famine

Augusta, Me-, Aug. 12.-CUP)- New England's six governors met here today in an attempt to devise means of overcoming a threatened fuel oil famine in this popuious region during the frigid winter months.
 Facing an estimated 20 per cent reduction in oil supplies during the heating season as compared with last year, the governors considered these three major problems:
 1. Methods of increasing the con- version of home and industrial heating units from oil to coal.
 2. Means of insuring sufficient fuel supplies for war plants.
 3. Methods of maintaining the public health and preventing spread of colds, pneumonia and other dis seases attributable to insufficient heat in homes.
 Gov. Sumner Sewall of Maine was host to the group that agreed on the conference at 8 national meet ing of governors last June at Ashe- vile, N. c. Other conferences are scheduled in others of the 6 states during September and October.
 Attention was given a master. plan" formulated by Gov. William H. Wills of Vermont as a means ot guarding against possible "discrim- nation" against New England for the duration.
 Gov. Wills, accompanied by Chair man H. Brandon Jones and Execu- tive Secretary Philip s. Shutler of the Vermont fuel board, said the plan in general sought to have New England present a united front" in future discussions of the petro- leum problem.
 Tn a preliminary discussion of the problem, Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts said his state al- ready was making attempts to cut gasoline and fuel oil consumption. He reported that 25 per cent of the state-owned vehicles had been talk en from the highways and that con- version from oil to coal already was in progress at state institutions.
 Gov. Saltcnstall was accompanied by his secretary, Russell Gerould, and J. c. Richdale, director of the oil section of the Massachusetts committee on public safety, R. L. Bowditch, director of the commit tees fuel division, and Executive Assistant Joseph L. White of the Office of Defense Transportation.
 Others attending were Gov. J. Howard McGrath of Rhode Island, Gov. Robert A. Hurley of Connecti- cut and Coy. Robert o. Blood of New Hampshire.

Prayers For Victory

Orthodox Jews of Waterbury were joining with other members of their faith throughout the United Nations in a day of fast ing which ends at sundown to- day. Special prayers for victory of the United Nations in the present world conflict were also being said.
 A special prayer service was scheduled for 6:30 in the Beth Israel synagogue, it was an- nounced by Rabbi Max Glitter.
 Choice of today as one of prayer and fasting, according to Rabbi Gifter, was due to the fact that it precedes the first day of the holy month of Elul. During this month Jews customarily spend much time in prayer and repent ance.

20, ,OOO Victory Garden Shows To Be Arranged
American Nurserymen Donate 10000 to Sponsor Na- tiOnwide Harvest ShOw-Armed Forces to Benefit

New York, Aug. 12-The American Association of Nurserymen has don- ated $10,000 to the nationwide Vic tory Garden Harvest Show program which will aid the armed forces and the emergency needs of their fam flies, according to an announcement today by Frank S. LaBar, of Stroudsburg, Pa, President of the A. A. N. In addition, the Associa- tSon has pledged its entire member ship of 700 to assist in every way in making possible the realization of the twin goals of 10000 register ed shows and total og $2,0O0, 900.
 Is Key Shows
 The American Association of Nurserymen has earmarked its don- ation for the partial maintenance of the national office nj New York, the. underwriting of fifteen key shows throughout the country and for the staging, in cooperation with state colleges and extension service author .ties, of demonstrations of canning, dehydration and the cor rect winter storage of food from Coast to Coast. The latter phase is interesting in view of the fact that members of the A. A. N. neith- CT grow nor sell vegetables
 LaBar's statement, in part, de- clared, Tn making this contribu- tion, the American Association of Nurserymen hopes to stimulate the food-for-victory program, to help in the gigantic task of raising two million dollars for our armed forces and their dependents and to further assure the success of the Victory Garden movement.
 If these goals are realized we feel we shall have not only real contribution to the war effort but will have, in addition, aided in the establishment of gardening in its rightful place in the American way of life. Not only is our money but also the individual efforts of every member of the Association dedicated to the successful completion of the Victory Garden Harvest Show Move ment."
 Every one of the forty eight states and the District of Columbia will participate in the national Vic- tory Garden Harvest Shows program for the benefit of the armed forces and the emergency needs of their families, it was announced today by J. w. Johnson, of New York, Man agirg Director. The exhibitions will range in scope from Cincinnati's gala six-day affair in the heart of its Fountain Square business dis trict, September 22-27, to hundreds of modest one-day shows sprinkled froi. Coast to Coast.
 Awards To Be Made
 Twenty thousand registered vic- tory Shows before the end of Nov ember is the established goal, and at the rate registrations are pour ing in, that number may well be reached before the freezing weather deadline. It is heartening, indeed, to witness the manner in which the nations gardening fraternity is ral- lying. All sorts of obstacles are be- ing met and overcome.
