SALE OF TICKETS
 SETS NEW RECORD
Zindah GrOttO Circus June 8-l4 to Be Most SuC-
 cessfuI in Years

That Waterbury is circus minded in spite of the war and resultant conditions, is well evidenced in the advance sale of tickets for zindah Grotto's 8th annual Charity Circus which exceeds the day-to-day record of two years ago by a wide margin, according to Richard D. Bensen, general chairman of the circus com- mittee.
 The Grotto circus will be present. ed outdoors this year at the Munich pal Stadium on Watertown avenue the entire week of June 9th to 18th. There will be two complete perform ances nightly at 2 and 10 o'clock and 8 special matine for school children on Tuesday afternoon at which time they will be admitted free of charge.
 Being presented outdoors, the acts this year will be of @ more SpecGacu- lar nature featuring high aerial acts that always thrill the dyed-in-the- wool circus fan.
 Included are such famous artists as The Six GretonaS, greatest of all high wire acts, formerly starred with Ringing Brothers, BarnIlm and Bailey, also The Four Fishers, feer- less flyers, who perform l3O feet in the air.
 The Florida Water Ballet, pre- sented by the six Gordon Girls, is q miniature aquacade presented in Q large tank which will be placed SO that 1t can be seen from every van- tage point in the stadium.
 Another outstanding act will be the Sky Review presented by Shal- ler's Ten Hollywood Girls. This act produced by Jack Smaller, originator and builder of high aerial acts, presents ten aerlalists performing at ons time from a rigging l2O feet in the air.
 These and many other thrill acts round out a program that will de- light young and old. Of course there vii. be the clowns, for what's q cir- GUS without them, and Chet Nelson's Yankee Circus Band will provide real circus music. ...
 This year the Grotto circus will also present an exposition midway with side shows, and at least iltty different types of good clean enter tinment, A tribe of Jenobscot In- dians will also be seen in their Ln- dian village. The entire circus cast includes more than 300 persons. The circus comes here direct from the Chicago Stadium and moves on to Naragansett race track for an exS tended engagement following It's So- cal run.

 BUT DIDN'T LIKE IT
 Billy almost always wanted to be a newspaperman, but the stage bug bit him and for 1S months, soon after he finished high school in his native Charlotte, N. O., he toured the Loew's circuit.
 He could have remained on the stage indefinitely, but he was fed up with the life, especially being considered 8 freak. So he en- rolled at the University of North Carolina in January, 1880, and three years later held an AB. in Journalism. For two years he was chief cheerleader.
 In February, 1940, he was the news editor and publisher of the News and Views and for almost a year he worked three days a week and spent much of the rest of the week fishing.

the Japs weren't grabbing other

Almost overnight thousands
