rules. Then, too, the sudden lack of hospital space and hospital nurses has meant that there is great deal more home nursing to be done Fur thermore, these nurses work with the Home Service Bureau of the American Red Cross. When that or ganization learns of any sickness in the home of man in the nations service, it notifies the Public Health Nurse, and she works with the physician on the case. All this with their more regular duties, keeps 'em flying" over the almost 30 square miles of territory which they c1-er. There is no time for them to sit in idleness.
 The estimated budget for 1943 is $5,307, of which sum about I2,100 will be realized from patients and insurance companies who pay for the nursing care of their policy holders. This leaves $3,2O0 to be raised by public subscription. The Public Health Nursing Association, Inc, feels that it is real asset to the community and that the people will show they appreciate this by supporting the drive.

BOARD TO MEET
 FOR NEW VOTERS
Week=LOng Session Opens Tomorrow Morning; Ma
 iOr Parties Interested

A week k-long session for the mak- ing of new voters will begin at g o'clock tomorrow morning at the city hall by the board of registra- tion. Principal interest centers in how many out-of- -towners who came to Waterbury for work will osek to become enrolled as local voters.
 Making of voters will take place from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. each day until next Tuesday, with the ex- ception of Sunday. Members of the board of registration a-o Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin, and Selectmen Albert Rice, Alec Kos- key and Michael Stolf.
 Both m 8 jor political parties have been hard at work getting ready for the registration period. The number of new voters sworn in this year is considered highly im- portant in view of the fact that several thousand young men, most of them voters, have left the city to enter military service.
 The weeks session will be the last opportunity for elegibles to be- come voters before the state and congressional elections Nov. 3, ex- cept for thoSse who become 21 be- tween Oct. 13 and Nov. 3. They will be sworn in at a special session of the board of registration the day before the biennial elections.

BOSTON SYMPHONY MAY BE UNlONIZED
PetrillO Expected to Pro- pose Union Amendments
 to Group

Boston, Oct. 5.-CUP)-The way may be opened in June for the famed 62-year-old Boston Sym- phony orchestra to become union- ized.
 President James A. Petrillo of the American Federation of Musicians (AFL) is expected to propose to his organizations convention at that time certain amendments to the union bylaws which would meet with the approval of the orchestra trustees.
 The trustees views on the matter were contained last night in the first public appeal for funds to make up last years deficit of $38 ,0OO and for $150,O00 to carry out the 1942-43 program.
 The trustees doubted that their orchestra, only non-union group among the nations major symphony orchestras, could maintain its musical integrity" under the unions existing bylaws. They said, how ever, that Petrillo had proposed certain changes in an effor to swing the Boston orchestra into line.
 President Jerome D. Greene of the trustees said the principal ob- jections were rules limiting the hir- ing and firing of orchestra members. Existing laws, he said, did not give the orchestra the freedom to main- tain its own standards of operation.
 "If those bylaws were to be amended so as to permit the full and free pursuit of the highest ar- tistic standards" the trustees con- "our chief cause of anxiety would be removed.
 "The musical integrity of our in- stitution rests upon wide discretion ary powers we have conferred on the conductor in selecting personnel and in matters of discipline. We do not believe our institution can main- tain that integrity if our musicians subscribe to the existing laws of the federation"

 Carelessly discarded cigarettes caused 65 fires during the year, the fire marshal reported. Other re- presentable causes were children electric irons, hot tar, and lighted playing with matches, overheated stoves, smoking in bed, gasoline, candles.
