WATER CONTRACT
 UP FOR APPROVAL
Aldermen to Act on Matter Tonight; Walker Wants
 Survey Made Public

The board of aldermen tonight will be called on to approve new contract whereby the City of Wa terbury will provide more extensive water service to the Oakville Fire District. The contract, approved by former Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch and the water com- mittee of the board of public works, would allow Oakville to connect with the city's 16-inch main through the town.
 Supplementing contract in force since 1889, the agreement would provide for payment by Oakvilel to the city of $500 year for the main, along with payments for water used at the rate of 10 per cent above To- cal charges. It calls for installation of a master meter at Adt's swich.
 Alderman Burton Walker. Repub- lican minority leader, has announced that he will ask for vote calling on Mayor Vincent A. Scully to make public the survey made of the fire department by the Board of Fire Underwriters.
 MT. Walker will also renew objec- tions to payment by the city of $4,OO0 to the International Business Machines Corp. for use of bookkeep- ing machines. The proposed pay ment was tabled a month ago on mo-

projects, where wages are higher than have ever been paid in that section. Negro help is as hard to hire as white. Women who former ly worked in the fields now turn the jobs down. Their men are working in war plants and dragging down more money than the entire family, children included, made in the fields before.
 Farmers are calling on their young children to help out in the labor shortage. Typical of them is c. H. Clark, whose 12-year-old son John, and 7-year-old twins, Billie Dean and Betty Ann, are working, including running tractor, on his 1000-acre farm near Redfield.
 Many farmers in Arkansas are pleading that Mexican labor be im- ported to gather the crops when they begin to mature this fall. Also it is hoped that federal authorities will permit interned Japanese, be- ing transferred from the West Coast to McGehee and Jerome, Ark, to pick cotton.
 Tn addition to the danger to cot- ton from the labor shortage, corn and other crops are affected. Many vegetables have already been lost because share-croppers planted truck gardens and then deserted them for war plant jobs.

Spread Ralmors Designed to Divide Our Nation?
 Hitler's basic rule is Divide and Conquer" His stooges in this coun- try listen to the Nazi short-wave radio (you can, too, if you can stomach the stuff) then pass on Goebbels' lies to try to arouse fear, distrust, suspicion of our leaders, our allies, our ability to win.
 That stuff doesn't fool you for a minute when you know where it comes from. But what if you heard 1t from your next door neighbor-your lifelong friend? Or what if he heard it from you without identifying the source! Have 8 healthy skepticisn of re- ports that start out with, They say :" or T heard :" Who saysP Where did you hear it? How does he know? What are the facts? Sonny, that ain't the way I heard it!"
 Don't play Hitler's game. If it's secret, keep it. If it's a rumor, kill it!

 Is Your Home Buying War Saw ings Stamps and Bonds Regularly?
 How about some freedom -insur- ance for your children? What is it worth to you? Ten per cent of your income? Ten per cent of what income-if Hitler wins this war? Maybe you can't quite make the grade with 10 per cent. You know what you can afford. But nothing less than the utmost is enough.
 That is your checklist. Those are the questions of the V-Home Pledge which your warden or block leader will bring you. How do you measure up? Can you hon. estly sign your name to 1t and put 1t in your window to tell the world:
