SCRAP RUBBER

Houston, July 16 amp Charles
Sugar, knows from personal exper-
fence that Texas is lot all bad, des-
pite the rumor circulated that "tne
devil owned Texas and hell, and
made choice of living in hell and
renting out his Texas"
Sugar learned his lesson as fol-
lows: He was wounded by a white
Waterman who saw him gathering
odd pieces of discarded and scrap
rubber outside of the auto part build
ing where the Waterman was on
duty.
When Sugar was brought before
the justice of the peace, w. G. Rag
an, he upbraided the white watch
man and said:
II don't think much Of your pat
riotism for leaving scrap rubber ly-
ing around when the country is In
such great need of it."
Later the justice declared:
1T is ridiculous to charge anyone
with a crime for picking up old
rubber that has been thrown away
when everybody in America is being
urged to salvage every ounce of
rubber they can find. 1 have picked
UP a number of pieces myself and
have thrown it on the scrap pile"
So Charles Sugar went free Tues
day ito collect more rubber for IN
Gle Sans war effort and, what's
more, a white Waterman was oftic-
tally, sternly and publicly rebuked

CONSUMER DOLLAR IS STILL SHRINKING
Fresh Fruits Marketing at Prices 46.6 Per Cent
 Higher Than l94l

In food fields not controlled by the Office of Price Administration, the consumers food dollar continued to shrink at the rate of 2.5 per cent between mid-June and mid-July, according to figures released today by State OPA Director Chester
 Bowles termed the latest shrink age extremely significant when com- pared to the five per cent increase in prices on uncontrolled foods as noted in the preceding period of mid-May to mid-June.
 As an example of how these steady monthly rises have affected the average household budget in the course of the last year, the OPA chief pointed to fresh fruits now marketing at price 46.6 per cent higher than last years.
 Other uncontrolled climbers, he said, are fresh fish and potatoes which are now selling at prices 33 and 50 per cent respectively above their market value for July, 1941..
 A scale below these climbers, but also putting quite a strain on John @. Public's dollar, are fresh vege- tables and such unregulated meats as poultry and lamb, in many cases g to B per cent over last years index figures.
 Since these figures were gath ered," Bowles added, "the OPA has placed a temporary ceiling on lamb following its steep 10 per cent price rise during the mid-May and mid- June period. Its legal price now is he heghest price 1t brough between July 27 to 31."
 Offsetting the upward trend of "ceilingless" food stuffs are the virtually stationary prices on com- nlodities under OPA control, BoWles state. These items went up only one-tenth of one per cent.
 '"This' inconsequential rise in con- trolled food fields actually managed to pull the overall rise in food

Watert0wn had little more than 50 present ct it's caucus, while Cheshire had about 135. Torring- ton Republicans voted endorsement of ex-Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, Congressman Talbot and High Sheriff Ernest Novey, who will be q candidate for reelection though serving in the army.
 Bristol Republicans, as expected, reelected Robert J. Stack, town chairman. Henry J. Brant was named to head the New Milford town committee.
 Mayor" Chauncey Hutchings, legislative veteran from Harw1nton, was named to another term as town chairman in that town. In Beth any, Nelson Peck was reelected to the party chairmanship. Robert O. JudSon was reelected town chair man in Woodbury.
 Rep. Ebert Manchester was elect ed town chairman in winchester (Winsted), succeeding Lester w. Schaefer.
 Few of the delegates were in- structed, thereby leaving the way open for them to have a more or less free hand at the state and dis trict conventions. However, with MT. Talbot having decided to seek reelection to Congress rather than a place on the state ticket, 1t is talk en for granted state convention delegates from virtually all the towns mentioned will support the candidacy of ex-Gov. Baldwin for renomination.

Republican caucuses held last night in towns of Litchfield county and northern New Haven were for the most part quiet and uneventful. Delegates were elected to various lccal, district and state conventions and, in many cases, town commit tees and their officers were chosen.
 Attendances reaching record lows were reported in a number of towns. This is taken to reflect distinterest in political affairs by thousands of voters, and is in line with small turnouts in recent party primaries in this and other states.
 In Wolcott, which went Democra- tic in 1o4O, the c. O. P. sought to patch up its internal differences by enlarging its town committee from six to eight members, and giv- ing three of the places to the Vol colt Republican league, which has opposed the organization leadership. F. H. Megin was elected town chair man.
 At the Naugatuck caucus, a pre- cedent was broken when an endorse ment of Congressman Joseph E. Talbot for renomination was voted. The membership of the town com mittee was, after lengthy debate, en- larged from IA to 1e.
 The town of Brookfield, just over the county line in Fairfield county, reelected Uncle John" Thornhill, veteran legislator, as its Republican town chairman.

prices down to an average of II per cent" he continued. Behind these figures is the dollars-and- cents story that should make every citizen of Connecticut understand the benefits price control is bring ing to him. However, partial con- trol cannot be expected to hold down the upward trend indefinitely If pressure from uncontrolled items continues. Some machinery must soon be devised to control all food prices if price control is to afford real protection against inflation."
 BoWles concluded by explaining that beef, one of the first meats placed under a ceiling, rose as high as 20 per cent between March 1941 and June 1942, when its price was frozen. During the first month under OPA regulations, the rises stopped for the first time in two years and, in the case of round steak, the price actually dropped nearly two per cent.

Were you one of the 90% of the voters who,. according to a survey of 34 Connecticut towns made by the League of Women Voters, stayed away from the 1940 caucuses which elected the delegates to the County, State and Congressional conven- tionS? These delegates in turn placed in nomination the men and women whose names went on the ballot on election day, and from which you had to choose your State officers, and your Congressman.
 Now we are at war. In many dis trictS in Connecticut there are &C., tive contests waging, particularly for the Congressional nominations.

The "fairer sex" is becoming air
minded in increasing numbers.
With different groups, ranging
from debutantes to business girls,
learning to fly, others are con-
fining their interests to the
theory of flying and knowledge
of airplane construction and
mechanics.
The Girl Scouts have now
thrown their hats into the ring"
and announced a new "air-condi-
toned" program for members who
will be known as Wing Scouts.
The first meeting OF the Wing
Scouts was held last night at
Scout headquarters, 1906 M street
NV, with Mrs. Harry Thomas
Jordan of Philadelphia, national
Junior Air Reserve Wing COM
mander for girls, National Aero
nautics Association, as principal
speaker. She emphasized the
need for aviation training for girls
and told of her work among the
Wing Scouts in Philadelphia
which she organized.
Although the Wing Scouts do
not take'to the air literally, Mrs.
Jordan said that girls trained in
certain aviation subjects are an
asset to the Government. Sub
jects which are included in this
training program are construction
of model planes, aerodynamics,
meteorology and navigation. The
relation of physical fitness to avi-
alton will be stressed in the train
ing course, she added.
A Wing Scout training course,
to be held in Philadelphia from
July 13 to 25, will be attended by
an adult representative from the
local Girl Scouts, who will be
trained to assist leaders Of Wing
Scouts in the District.
