Merchants Anticipate
 Success In Campaign
All Indications Point to Realization of $2,55O,OOO Quota in Sale of Stamps, BOnds Enthusiasm Seen

Complee satisfaction of both mer- chant and customer with the first phase of the Retailers for Victory drive was expressed today through out the city. Waterbury yesterday noon joined with the rest of the nation in opening campaign to sell billion dollars worth of war stamps and bonds through mercan- tile outlets.
 With quota of $2,55o,00O assign ed to Waterbury William H. Jones, chairman of the merchants com- mittee, was confident after a quick check-up of results and observation of activities throughout yesterday afternoon that the objective would be reached. However, MT. Jones, as well as other members of his com nittee, urged everyone to respond generously to the sales pleas to be made throughout the month.
 It is not expected that figures of daily sales will be obtainable for some time, owing to the tremendous number of outlets here in Water bury participating in the campaign.
 All of the city's sirens sounded the opening of the drive at noon yesterday. For fifteen minutes no

WPA ACTIVITIES
 CURTA|LED HERE
Gradual Dismissal of Help Planned; No Funds Avail=
 able to Carry On

Gradual abandonment of WPA activities throughout the state was more in evidence today with receipt of a letter by Welfare Superinten- dent Martin J. Hayden from Flor ence w. Hell, Assistant Director o1 Employment in Connecticut, an nouncing that all social service work by the WPA was being discontinued
 Lack of funds and failure of Con- gress to appropriate money for this work was cited as the main reason for the discontinuance.
 According to the letter received locally, which was similar to others sent to all welfare agents receiving federal funds for any type of work within their respective communi- ties. 2,000 WPA employees would be affected by the ruling and would be let out by July 1, with an addi- tional 1,600 to be dropped from WPA rolls by August l.
 Tn view of this, the letter to MT Hayden stated that the regular visits made UT der this type of social service will be discontinued.
 There are only a very few WPA projects being carried on locally now, one of the most important at the present time being removal ot trolley rails from the streets.

sales, other than those of stamps or bonds, were made in any store You just couldn't buy any other com modity even if you had to in the worst way.
 One noticeable feature yesterday was the willingness of customers to purchase stamps with change from other purchases. Others asked for them before clerks had a chance to offer them. Still others said they planned to make regular purchases of stamps or bonds at their favorite stores.
 Waterbury's quota of $2,550,000 is considerably higher than that or iginally assigned, but the merchants committee has no fear of not at- taining it. The increase is due in large part to the fact that the states quota was raised by $4,000,- 900 and this was approximately di- vided among the four large cities of the state.
 Waterbury's fine record in war drives to date has made it conspic- uous throughout the state and su- preme efforts will be made to insure the currens Retailers for Victory" going over the top.
