PRIVATE SHAWN
 GIVEN CITATION
Praised for Saying Girls Life; Auxiliary Bremen
 Seek Insurance

Finton J. phelan, chairman of the fire board, officially commended Pvt. James Siavin of Engine co. 2 for his excellent first aid work, at meeting of the board held yes- terday.
 According to pr. Edward Post, Slavin undoubtedly saved the life" of Mary L.evasseur, g, of 577 East Main street by quickly applying a tourniQuet. The girl had suffered a bad laceration after plunging her arm through a plate glass window.
 Pvt. Raymond w. Neil of Engine 2 requested the fire board for a leave of absence for the duration of the war because he is entering the Army. Neil is 8 veteran of the first World War. Action was deferred until the special board meeting to be held Monday night to consider the budget for the year.
 Representing the auxiliary fire- men, Fred Weidorn asked that they be given more training, and possi- bly, be allowed to see active service one day week. He also suggested that the city take out a blanket in- surance policy in order to cover any possible injuries to the auxili- aries. Weidorn stated that the men are willing to serve during an emer- gency, but would like to have any possible injury while on duty cov- cred by insurance. Chairman Phelan answered that Congress is now considering such 8 bill, but it will probably be in effect only dur ing an emergency, which he said starts when the Army sends out the yellow alert signal. Auxiliary firemen in Waterbury are availa- ble at any time bad fire breaks out, Phelan added. The board re- quested Chief Cavanaugh to inves- tigate the situation further.
 The board voted to place the new bumper, scheduled for delivery in December, in Engine House No. 5, in the East Main street bungalow station.
 The receipt of 1,50O feet of one and one-half inch hose and 2,0O0 feet of two and one-haf inch hose was reported by Fire Chief Thomas F.. Cavanaugh.
 Since the new truck at the Burton street fire house cannot enter and leave easily because of the narrow ness of the doors, the board voted to start immediate alterations. They also voted to request the city engi- neers to survey the lines of the Burton street tract in order that a new fence may be erected.

also Swelled slightly. There is now available approximately as much meat for civilian use as during the period from 1931-4O.
 Many more families are now able to buy meat since their. inccrn $ have risen. Consequently, the ra- tiOning program means only that more people will have to share tho available supply.
 WOMEN IN THE SCRAP
 Army and Navy couldn't function if it weren't for the women who are helping in the salvage drive. There's 8 potential bayonet, steel melmet or airplane part in every womaIl's kitchen. That vital material must be salvaged from every home dur ing the next two months if the United States is going to win this war, say Washington officials.
 It's the most important single
 effort today and salvage offlciaIs urge all women to get in touch
 with their local or country salvage committee and offer their services Not tomorrow or the next day-ths war won't wait-but today. NON-WORKING WOMEN
 Paul V. McNutt, Chilef of the War Man Power Commission pre- diets that one out of every six women not employed will be re- crIiited for war work hefnre f1aA end of 1043.
 This does not include mothers who are net, obliged to work and who have children under two years of age. With the appropriation of $4OO,OOO for nurseries from tho Presidents own emergency fund, Of- ficiaIs feel that the need for day- nurseries in cOngested war prOduc- tiOn areas is at last being realized.

WAVES DUTIES TO BE CONFINED
 TO U. s. LIMITS
BY GLEN M. STADLER rYv.a&n.I pwoeS GfoM rnrro~nnV,tJavi

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 17-(UP)-The United States Navy's Waves = Wo- men Appointed for Volunteer Emergency Service-probably never will experience the roll of a war; ship. Even though they are "sail- orettes" they will have to stay with in the Continental United States and do shore work which will re- lieve men for active service at sea.
 About 300 women are taking an officers training course at Smith College in Massachusetts. 100 miles from the nearest ocean. When the ranks are complete, there will be about 1000 officers and 10000 en- listed personnel between the ages of 2l and 50
 It Is the first time in the history of the Navy that women have served as officers, although they do not have full officer status. They cannot, for example, issue orders to Navy men of inferior rank and men don't have to salute them.
 No Objection to Dates
 The Navy believes in plenty of "chic" for its Waves, but it will not permit them to wear conspicuous makeup or smoke on the streets And although the Navy won't pro- hibit the girls from having dates with men, no Wave can be married during the four month training period. Married women may join, however, if they have no children under 18
 "The Navy doesn't want to keep the Waves single" said It. Comdr Mildred H. McAfee, chief of the Waves and president on-leave of Wellesley College for women. Quite the contrary. The Navy believes in matrimony."
 Pay for enlisted women will be exactly the same as that for men in the same rating-$50 month plus their maintenance while appren- tice seamen. After training, pay will depend on the rating they obtain from $50 for an apprentice seaman to $138 for chief petty officer. Be- cause most of the enlisted women will live outside naval facilities they will receive rental and food allowances of $82.50 in a 30-day month in addition to their pay. Be- sides they receive $200 to buy uni- forms.
 University Women Desired
 The Waves work probably won't be especially exciting. They will do clerical and communications work, chiefly. Especially desired are those who have university degrees in civil, mechanical electrical, radio and aeronautical engineering, elec- troncs, meteorology, astronomy, metallurgy physics, mathematics, business statistics and modern for eign languages.
 Their counterpart in World War l were the "Yeomenettes, 11,275 of whom were in service at the time of the Armistice, all serving in the United States. However, five en- listed in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, served with Navy hos pital units in France. About 300 "Marinettes," the feminine enlisted personnel of the Marine Corps, were on duty in 1918.
 It. Comdr. McAfee, the Waves chief, is 42 years old and one of the youngest women to head major college. She is the daughter of Parkville, Mo, Presbyterian min- ister and was graduated from Vas sar College in 1920.

Exonerated by the same board which suspended him four months ago, Patrolman Patrick Cluney of the police department returned to active duty today. He was assigned to the 3 to II p. m. shift.
 Lifting of the suspension was voted by the board of police com missioners on recommendation of the committee on men and disci- pline. The policeman had been sus- pended on the ground that he was not a citizen.
 Attorney John F. Tobin, counsel for Patrolman Cluney, at the boards last meeting submitted an affidavit in which the policeman swore that he was and is citizen of the United States. Earlier, Attorney Tobin had submitted minutes of the meeting at

Don't expect meat rationing to make any real difference to your menus. The Department of Agri- culture figures that between 1881 and 1940 approximately two and a half pounds of meat per person were consumed weekly. Rationing means cutting consumption to two and a quarter pounds per capita per week.
 After 194l, however, when incomes started rising meat consumption

Warning Given
Wheat Growers

In strongly worded appeal to
wheat farmers of Washington state.
Archie Nj Camn has asked for dras-
tic reduction of acreage this year.
Camp, agricultural adjustment com
mittecman of this state, in a recent
address, told farmers and acricul-
tural leaders: ANY commodity. if
over-produced at the expense of
more vital commodities brings
much disaster to country engaged
in war. Over-production of wheat,
when wheat is spilling from over
burdened granaries, is as wasteful
and unwise as if industry should
insist on continued production of
household gadgets at the expense of
ornaments"
Continuing the comparison be-
tween agriculture and industry,
Samp said: For the good of the
nation, industry has submitted IL
self to arbitrary control for the du-

SEPT. 80 DEApLINE FOL
FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE

A warning note has sounded for
those wheat farmers planning to
sign for Federal Crop insurance to
cover winter wheat seeded for har-
vest in 1913.
The chairman of the Triple-A
committee warns farmers that ap-
plications for winter wheat all-risk
7coverage must be signed not later
than September so.
Lets not let bumper crops this
year cause the overlooking of a
good bet" reminds the chairman.
Past experience shows that years
of CROP failure often follow years of
good yield. The three-year contracts
now available from the Federal Crop
Insurance corporation will help to
bridge this cycle. and should be a
major item in each farmers finan-
cial bulwark against years ahead F"
He directed all farmers desiring
All-Risk Crop insurance to contact
their Triple-A office for informa-
ton and applications before ap-
preaching deadline. Crop insurance
this year covers all war risks. The
deadline for winter wheat insurance
is September 80.
