UNION SERVICES
 HELD THURSDAY
Rev. Kenneth B. Anthony Claims Trouble Makes for
 Stronger Character

Thankfulness should be rendered not Just for tangible and easily per- ceptible benefits that create happi- ness, but for less obvious factors such as discipline of trouble, the freedom to make mistakes and yet work out a good life, and the quail ity of the human spirit which gives confidence of achieving truth, Rev. Kenneth B. Anthony stated in a Thanksgiving day sermon yesterday morning at the First Baptist church,
 Congregations of many of the local Protestant churches attended the services. Assisting MT. Anthony were: Rev. David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Baptist church; Rev. John J. Snavely, First Methodist church; Rev. Jonathan E. Reed, Grace Baptist church; Rev. Alan M. Fairbank, Bunker Hill Congrega- tional church; and Rev. M. Webb Wright, South Federated church.
 The clergyman stated trouble makes for stronger character and wider sympathy and can be bene- ficial to mankind. There must, however, be gratitude when the troubles are removed If wholeness of life is to be achieved, he added.
 An offering for the American Red Cross was taken during the services.

Factory Protection
 Officials To Meet
Conference Arranged to Discuss New Army Dlm-Out
 Orders Affecting Industrial Plants

ed by Austin L. Purves, chairman of the state blackout committee, and Frank Loughlln, state director or plant protection,
 Announcement of the meeting was made by J. Green, secretary of the Waterbury Defense council, John A. Coe is chairman of the city's plant protection committee and Alan Curtiss is executive chair man.
 Under Army rules, factory lights must be extinguished or dimmed wherever possible. This applies par- ticularly to yard lights, which give illumination that can be seen from overhead.
 The Army regulations that go into effect Monday will hit every resi- dent of the city. Homes, stores, gas stations, parking lots, etc., will all be affected. Outdoor display signs are forbidden, and street lights must be dimmed.
 Connecticut Light & Power crews are placing shields on all the city'S street lights, so that all illumination is directed downward. With the city having 2,600 street lights, how ever, the work may be unfinished by Monday, when the Army regula- tions go into effect.
 Michael J. Hayes, deputy chief air warden, disclosed over the holiday that plans are being discussed for special night sessions of municipal court for cases involving violation of dim-out and blackout rules. He warned that hereafter violators of the rules face speedy prosecution.
