TOWNS MAY NOW
 PURCHASE BONDS
Attorney General Pallotti Issues Ruling on LegaI=
 ity of Action

Several of the towns of Western Connecticut are expected to vote the purchase of u. s. defense bonds in the near future, in consequence of ruling yesterday by Atty Gen. Francis Pallotti that any commit nifty in the state may bake such purchases.
 Previously the selectmen of sev- eral of the states smaller towns had hesitated to take any action of this sort. because of the general misinterpretation of a previous rul- ing which seemed to indicate that a town must use funds raised in taxes during the year they were raised, and put all surpluses towards the next years budget.
 The attorney general ruled yes terday, however, that this ruling ap- plies only to regular budgetary items, ard does not in any way hamper community purchase of bonds.
 Woodbury is one of several towns in this vicinity now expected to put money into the bonds as an in- vestment, with the eventual purpose of using the money for various town projects.
 Purchase of $5,000 worth of de- fense bnods was voted by the Wa terbury Foundation, local educa- cational and charitable organizat tion, at a meeting Tuesday at the Wa terbury club Members also voted to distribute $2,000 to other charitable organizations by May first.

Concerning action by Republicans Tn Congress, as a party, opposing vital preparedness measures, MT Smith declared, Tt Is not too much to say that the position taken by Republican leadership would have left this country without allies, without industrial, military or naval preparation and without the time to make such preparations before we should be called upon to defend this hemisphere and even our own soil. Such record is incredible."s
 Practices Condemned
 Republican newspapers have joined in the condemnation of the political practices of the COP. in Congress, MT. Smith declared, re- ferring to an editorial in the Wash ington Star, an independent Re- publican newspaper. The editorial stated, he said, that the Republican party in Congress is making a sorry record as the nation faces grave dangers" Concerning the vote on the extension of the Selective Serv- ice Bill, the Star" commented, "'had the measure been defeated, the blame would have gone to the Republican party. They would have : succeeded in turning back measure which the President and the Armys highest officers have repeatedly said : is essential for the safety of the country. They would have sue ceeded in making this country look : like 30 cents in the eyes of it's po- tential enemies, the Axis powers"
 That is fair example of what Republicans have thought of the Republican leadership in Congress, said MT. Smith.
 Concerning editorials in the Wa terbury Republican and American, endorsing the candidacy of MT. Talbot, the Republican candidate, MT. Smith commented, "Once again we see that the basic issue in the campaign for the election of the Republican candidate is the claim that we should elect man who will be critical and independent be- cause he is Republican. Support 10 dohCd lOl dOuCo SLlCllS Ill lOl VIE Republican leadership in Congress. It is claimed that militant, loyal and constructive minority can make a great contribution. But where is this constructive minority to be found? You are being asked to give support to an imaginary body You do not have to take my word alone for this"
 Quotes Editorial
 He followed with quotation from Waterbury Republican edi- torial, November 27, 1941 calling upon the Republican party to take 8 firm and constructive stand on our foreign policy. The editorial stated, he said, "The call from State Chairman Bradley to Na- tional Chairman Martin for an end

Mattatuck Historical SO= ciety Members Also Hear
 Rev. Dr. Gallaudet

Echoes of the present world war resounded last night at the Matta- tuck Historical Society's building on West Main street where four Euro pen refugees read essays on Why I Love America" and Rev. Herbert D. Gallaudet, director of Connecticut's air raid warden schools, spoke On War Comes to Connecticut"
 Among those who read papers were two Austrian born persons, one who was native of Germany, and woman born in Russia, all of them pupils in Standardization classes in this city The occasion was the an- nual meeting of the Mattatuck His- toricai society.
 The pupils were introduced by Dr. John G. Gilmartin, head of the America. ization classes in Water bury, who stated that none of them had been in this country as long as three years.
 The Austrian, L. w. Schwartz, was imprisoned in Austria at the time of the Anschluss, but later succeed ed in getting to England, where he became an air raid warden, and wrote book for Wardens. He ex- pressed confidence that American production will beat Hitler eventual ly.
 Others taking part in the program were Mrs. Martha Darms, German born; Mrs. Margaret Thorns, who was born in Russia, and lived for many years in China, where she met her husband, Preston I'horns, local navy recruiter; a.. Emil Brackman, native of Austria.

lating the fork from plate to mouth
was a most hazardous journey for
me. Came dessert time. Plates were
brought on which were a lace dolly
and finger bowl. Not familiar with
the custom of removing both dolly
and finger bowl to the side, re-
moved the bowl, but completely for
got the dolly. I then helped myself
to a generous share of chocolate
souff1e.
At the first bite I discovered to
my utter horror that I had not
only a mouthful of souff1e but a
good part of the dolly as well. All
I could think of was the tittering
among the servants when my plate
was brought into the kitchen dis
playing half the dolly. Slyly man
aged to stuff the other half into
my pocket before dinner was over.
You'd think I would improve with
age and not get into such ridiculous
situations. I haven't-not one bit.

in the dressing room. Mother was
playing the piano for the act and
dad was busy in the box office. I
was on my own.
Taking advantage of the situa-

I marched right out on the stage

Most Embarrassing Night.
One Of the most exciting nights
of my life turned out to be one OF
the most embarrassing. It was the
premiere of Babes in Arms" and
the night Mickey and I placed our
foot and hand prints in the fore
court Of Grauman's Chinese Thea
ter. I wanted to look more glamor-
GUS than ever before in honor of this
great occasion.
Now I must confess I had the
habit of biting my fingernails. I
was just sick that I couldn't have
long, glittering fingertips. But the
manicurist promised to fix that up
for me. She did-by putting false
nails on.
After placed my hands in the
cement we went inside to see the
picture. Suddenly I thought creep
ing paralysis had set in, beginning
at my fingertips. They were numb
and heavy. I was in cold sweat
before we left the theater-then
I realized some of the cement had
gotten under my nails and hardened
on the false ones. went to a party
afterwand feeling very much like
the Tiger Woman With Talons.
The next day I had to have them
Clipped off. The manicurist con-

job, but finally settled for small
