TWRENN NOT TO
 BE CANDIDATE
Local Attorney Not After COP Nomination for Sen-
 atOr or Probate Judge

Attorney Maurice P. Wrenn, who has been regarded as leading can- didate for the Republican nomina- tion for state senator in the 18th district or the nomination for pro- bate judgeship, declared today that he is not in the field for either of- flee.
 Asked if he were a candidate for the state senatorial nomination, Mir Wrenn said: T am not candi- date"
 Asked if he were candidate for the probate nomination, MT. Wrenn repeated: T am not a candidate. !"
 When the reporter inquired as to whether MT. Wrenn would accept either nomination if he should be drafted by the nominating conven- ton, the lawyer said: i've been too busy to bother with politics"
 Two years ago MT Wrenn was the Republican candidate for judge of probate of the Waterbury district. He was defeated by Judge Patrick Healey CD, who was named to his second term. This year he has been mentioned both for that nomination and also for the nomination for state senator to oppose Senator Mi chael V. Blansfield (D) in the 18th district. His remarks today ap- parently eliminate him from the candidates for either nomination, though it remains unanswered what his stand would be if drafted"

34WOMEN TRY
 TO JOIN WAAC
Two Accepted and Placed on Reserve List; Another
 Called for Interview

Corp. Harry Armstrong has an nounced that 34 young women have obtained application blanks for en- listment in the WAAC at the loca, Army recruiting station. Two of the women have been accepted and their names have been placed on the reserve list, while a third local girl was called to Hartford for an interview this week. The names of Waterbury's first enlistees have not been divulged because of an Army regulation which prohibits the an- nouncement of names until the candidates have started active duty,
 The prospective women soldiers. who must be between the ages of 21 and 45, are interviewed at Hart ford headquarters when their ap- plications are approved and ara given an intelligence and aptitude test. So far only 28 women from Connecticut have been accepted, Corp. Armstrong reports, but the number is expected to be increased considerably in the near future when facilities are expanded and more job vacancies for the appli- cants are created.
 Successful applicants will be as- signed to clerical or various techni- cal jobs which will release men now holding them for combat duty. Girl specialists in their field will receive additional pay allowances.

SAME OLD GREEN
Good Ey.nssM

Cities chaAge from day to day Even as you and I, Old trees that once stood solid Suddenly up and die. Take this not so large city of ours, It has undergone many change Of scene But dig and rebuild as you will There's always the same old Green. Streets run north south and east, Also they run due west Some slight changes affect their course To make them look their best. We read our Center was once swamp, Early settlers found the going mean, But once they got plan in mind They built around Green. So there you have the Green today, It takes in more than block, The only real change at all
 One day they erected clock. The grass of course is nicely moved, In summer flower beds are seen, At Christmas time there's lighted tree, But otherwise it's the same old Green.
