One Paris editor, Jean Luchaire
of Les Nouveaux Temps, openly
predicted the fall Of the Vichy
cabinet "at the end of this week

has agreed to commit suicide for
the benefit of President Roosevelt" "
The sale of Reunion sugar. from
an annual maximum supply of SO 600
metric tons is planned to relieve the
present sugar shortage in the United

easily pick up sugar at Reunion on
their way home. This is considered
of vital interest to the United States,
since the American lack of sugar
is due not to q shortage Of produc-
ton, but a shortage of transportation
tonnage which cannot be diverted to

The Luchaire criticism Of the
Petain regime was matched in
vehemence by another in the Paris
newspaper La France Sociailiste,
written by Rene Chateau. who
charged the church was among the
forces working against Pierre Laval
and collaboration.
Vichy, Chateau said, Is suffering
from "clericahsm which has insinu-
ated itself everywhere, everywhere
dealing a blow to liberty of spirits,
everywhere constraining them to
weakness and poverty"
He charged further that capital

BAN ON WATERING
 LAWNS MAY RESULT.
Industrial Plants COnsum- ing Large Supplies of
 Water

An appeal to the public not to sprinkle lawns during the daytime hours was made today by Chairman Henry J. Bowling of the board of public works. Lower water pres- sure resulting from heavy industrial use of water and increasing local population make 1t imperative that sprinkling of lawns be done only in the evening, he said.
 MT. Bowling told the works board last night that unless the public voluntarily cooperates, 6 ban on watering of lawns may have to be imposed. He cited 8 city ordinance, not enforced in recent years, which allows sprinkling of lawns only from 5 p. m. to 9 a. nn., and between 1:30 and 2:30 p. m.
 Completion of the new reservoir and connection of the new pipe line will mean a great increase in pres sure, he said, and the restrictions can then be lifted.
 The works board last night agreed to have the city make repairs to Warner street, in the Warner Gar dens defense housing development, provided road oil is supplied by the federal government.
 It was voted to levy sewer assess ments against property on Douglas avenue. Installation of additional street lights was approved. A complaint by Helen Bogdon of Al Kingsbury street that she is hav- ing a dispute with Benjamin Gromet, a neighbor, over fence, was referred to the street commit tee, which will seek to settle the difficulty in it's capacity as the boards fence viewers"
 The engineering department was instructed to draw plans for new sidewalk on Oak street. A com plaint of inadequate water pressure at his home, made by Frank Gar rity of Waterville street, was re- ferred to the water committee. To the same committee went 8 com plaint by Alderman Patrick Shea that surface water accumulates at the "S" curve in Waterville, creating a nuisance for school children and pedestrians.

War Stamp Greeting

A group of War stamp greeting

A group of War stamp greeting cards, approved by the United States Treasury Department, and created to stimulate the purchase of War Stamps and Bonds, will be on sale in retail stores throughout the country by July l5, 1t was an- nounced today by s. e. Shannon, director of the greeting card indus try.
 Key ed to the theme that gift of War Stamps is a gift of share in victory, these War Stamp greeting cards are designed to be sent as combined gift-greetings for birth days or general occasions, and each contains a Stamp Out" album for 10 cent War Stamps. an official gov- ernment 10 cent War Stamp album, or an envelope for loose stamps that will serve the purpose of those who want to send gifts of stamps of larger denominations. The inclu- sion of at least one War Stamp is necessary to complete the intention of each greeting card.
 The creation of these War Stamp greeting cards is the result of the collaborative efforts of majority of the 100 greeting card publishers and manufacturers in the United States, and is handled by The Greeting Card Industry, Inc, which tiny formed to insuret he effective ness of the industry's contribution to the war effort. Members of the organization, functioning On non- profit basis, have assumed the re- sponsibility for the widest possi- ble distribution of these inanimate Minute Men" each of which will retail for cents.

Democrat Gets Navy E Letter of Appreciation

Credit for the enthusiastic in- terest shown by young men of the Waterbury area in the united navy's possibilities for service, ex- perience and action is given to the efficient efforts of Chief Boat swain's Mate Garry Murphy and Chief Fire Controlman Preston Thorne and to several newspapers in the district. The Waterbury Democrat has been cited by Lieu tenant L. M. Nelson of the state recruiting station for it's coopera- ton.
 The "Navy E" for cooperation as awarded to the Fourth Estate is pictured in the following words of appreciation:
 Dear Sirs:--
 Each month, navy recruiting stations throughout the state for ward tear sheets of stories printed by newspapers in their district, to the main station in New Ha- ven. know you will be pleased to learn that, for the past two months, the Waterbury district has led the state. Your paper has made this record possible.
 With the increased tempo of aIip production, the navy Is faced with . tremendous problem in getting volunteers of the same calibre as those men already in service. The Waterbury Demo- crat has made a great contribu- tion in our efforts.
 [ want to express my sincere appreciation for your splendid CO., !. operation, and to thank you for the material assistance you have rendered to Chief Boatswain's Mate Murphy and Chief Firecon- trolman Thorne. With your aid the Waterbury substation has been able to deliver more recruits than stations with larger pop u1ation to draw from.
 Yours truly,
 L. M. NELSON, lieutenant, D-V(S), U. s. N. R.
 Officer in Charge. Eds Note: Thanks lieutenant. We're standing by for further or ders and more opportunities to cooperate and do our bit.

The stamp Out" album, which is included in certain of the War Stamp greeting cards, Is the exclu- sive novelty of The Greeting Card Industry, Inc. It contains page large car1catures of Hitler, MuSso- lini, and Japanese, and the Axis can literally be stamped out by the placing of War Stamps in the designated spaces. Typical of the accompanying verses is this apt sentiment:
 This birthday card is bringing
 More than wish or two,
 It brings the T1rSt installment
 On a brand new bond for you. Each added stamp will do its bit
 To push "Muss1" off the map,
 Sink the proving submarines,
 And STAMP" out Hitler and
 the JapI"
 In both the Stamp Out" albums and the official government albums, there are spaces for 187 10 cent stamps. When the albums are filled, they can be converted into $25. .O0 bonds with the payment of 5 cents.
 Simultaneous with this announce ment, MT. Shannon made public letter from Hartford PoWel, War Savings staff, Treasury Department, in which MT. Powel says: Although I know the fine. patriotic spirit of most of the creating card publish CTS of America, I still do not think that you and your members realize what splendid public service you render by making these cards avail able at low prices to all The need for enormous sales of War Stamps is far greater today. You have rec ognized it by preparing this new group of every day cards. These cards are attractive enough to sell on their own merits. But each card carries something more vital than 8 good picture and sentiment. Each card promotes steady savings, to help the government now, and to help the citizen after the war"
