EXPECT SHORTAGE
 OF CANNED GOODS

Supplies of many canned fruits and vegetables may be curtailed during the winter because of the enormous quantities to be used by the Army. The shortage of coffee has already made itself felt in this city.
 Grocers are only allowed to sell 65 per cent of the amount sold dur ing September of last year. Many have expressed the feeling that ra- tioning of coffee would provide for a more equitable distribution. It would also take the burden of dis tribution away from the distribu- tors.
 Chester Bowles, state OPA direc- tor, warned grocers that it is in vio- lations to ration coffee in accord ance to the amount of other grocer ies purchased by the customer.

SHARP DROP IN
 N. E. BUSINESS
Slight Recession Attrib- uted to Seasonal FaC-
 tors; ; Employment Up

Boston, Sept. 20.-(Special) New ngland business activity for August declined to 1899 per cent of normal from the high of l45.6 per cent reg istered in July, but showed an in crease over the revised figure for August of last year, when 1t stood at 1874 per cent according to the New England Councils monthly business index.
 The slight recession is due not SO much to drop in actual pro- duction as to the practical elimina- tion of seasonal factors in some of the comporents, according to the council. The shoe production com- ponent, for instance, has fallen oil from 4.9 to Ia. This may be the result of an almost constant pro- duction of mems shoes, while the controls of wartime economy are being felt in the manufacture ot women's foot wear. The decrease also reflects the repercussions being felt throughout New ngland of the nationwide program to balance the national production picture.
 Industrial employment reached an a1l-time high in August, having in' creased slightly from the previous high reached in July. Predictions of employment dislocation have thus far proved to be much exag- gerated, indicating that employment and unemployment have kept pace with the changing economy.

BURLESQUE BEST
 OF l942 SEASON
Jacques Program This Week We'll Balanced; Wilma JOsey Pleases

When 8 well-balanced program of diversified entertainment is offered it's 8 difficult task to publicly ex- ploit one or two performers with out doing injustice to the remainder of the personnel, and that's the story this week at Jacques theater where Manager Jack Beck's cur rent burlesque offering is the best of the four presented this season.
 Bob Ferguson and Max Coleman, always good for plenty of genuine rib- -ticklerS, have an entirely new routine this year which overshadows all others !n the hit department.
 Wilma Josey, direct from Sons O Fun in New York city, is the fea- tured peeler and believe you me, she peels of gags equassy as well as gowns and what have you. The elongated star has the audience talking back seconds after she makes her debut. Blonde Alyne Payne is the second stripper and satisfies, though no newcomer to Waterbury.
 Franklin Hopkins scores we'll as a character straightman, and bru- nette Leo Lamont pleases in two tap dances. Valentine, a magician. entertains well, making more things reappear than disappear, and the dance team of Marrone and Gallo draw plenty of appleuse.
 Mary Murray, blonde comedienne, who in real life is Mrs. Bob Fergu- son, is an able aide to her weaker half. She handles her libes with consummate east. Bob Ridley, like last year, tears the house down in three vocal numbers. He's per- sonable singer with a grand voice.
