CITY OBSERVES
 COLUMBUS DAY
Schools, Banks, Library Closed; Factories Draft
 Boards Carry On

A quiet observance of Columbus Day was being held in Waterbury today. Schools, public buildings. banks, and many offices were closed. but factories and stores operated on regular schedules.
 It was production as usual for the city's thousands of workers engaged in turning out weapons and mater ials to defeat the Axis. Civilian de- fense officers were open as usual and staffs were ready for any pos iSible emergency.
 Most City Hall offices were closed, but the mayors office remained open and the board of registration was in session in the aldermanic chamber for the making of new voers. City court held regular seS- sion.
 Selective Service offices, in the City Hall basement, were open. Regular ScehduleS were followed by the post office, U. s. Employment Service and the recruiting stations. The Silas Bronson Library and its branches were closed for the day.
 Today marks the 450th anniver- sary of the discovery of America, but Waterbury was too busy help ing turn out weapons that will pre- serve freedom to engage in any formal observance. U. s. Attorney General Francis Riddle will be heard in a nation wide broadcast tonight as a feature of the observance of the anniver- Sary.

Hitler, but the fact that millions in the Soviet state face winter of ex treme privation is something only stout-hearted people can look for ward to without dismay.
 Some of Russia's finest granaries. the kraine, Kuban, the Don valleys, are now in German hands.
 Good coal sources also have been seized by the Germans and Herr Goering recently Doasted that Ger many has sufficient" coal, now in- creased by enormous additional quantities won "by conquest"
 Men and women have been chop ping wood in the lumber camps outside Moscow, sending it to the cities by cart, trucks, railroad and riverboat. But wood burns quickly, and the great quantities stored out- side factories, hotels and govern ment offices will certainly not last the winter. The home will be the first to feel the pinch, during days when temperatures will be always below freezing.
 ThereN be no new clotnlng OD- tainable and even artificial light will be at a minimum, except in the vi- tai industries.
 An American correspondent, soon to leave London for Russia, received cable of advice from a friend in Moscow he is to replace, listing nearly 100 items the newcomer would need there this winter.
 Prominent among them are warm clothing of all sorts, from underwear to fleece lined overcoats: vacuum bottles; blankets, electric and solidi- fled alcohol stoves.
 PARKS ARE EMPTY,
 BANDS GONE
 The aspect of grimness and strain which correspondents in Russia note on the faces of men and women are evidence that today lighthearted- ness is no part of the Russian make- up. Parks are empty and bands have stopped playing. Russia has had too many casualties.
 No one has been unaffected by the war. This winter will be one of Russia's greatest trials, but Tova- risch and family have a record of fighting through some tough spots.

'COE RETURNS
 10 HAMILION
IJmberfeId Road Resident Returns as Sophomore to
 Clinton, N. Y, College

Clinton, N. ", Oct l2 - John A. Coe, III, son of MT. and Mrs. John Allen Coe, Jr., Urnberfield road, Waterbury, Conn, has returned to Hamilton College as Sopohomore this Fall.
 Hamilton, New York States third oldest college, opened this year with every dormitory room filled and with more students on its campus than eyer before in It's history. Sup plementing a normal enrolment of 425 regular students are 40 Army and Navy pilots being trained under the Civilian Pilot Training program.
 Approximately 75 per cent of the colleges pperclassmen are already sworn in the Army the Navy, or the Marines and await call to ofdcer training when they are needed, pre- sumably after they finish an accel- erated liberal arts course. Interest in meeting requirements of the mil- itary has brought a 100 per cent in- crease in mathematics and physics enrolment as well as stiffening of the physical education program.
 Addressing the 131st opening con- vocation was Hamilton's president, w. IT. Cowley. He congratulated the entering class on giving evi. dence of being enthusiastically better able than even the 1941 group that stood fifth among classes from nearly 500 colleges taking the Amer ican Council on Education's phys chological test.
 A member of the American Coun- cil's war plans committee represent ing small liberal arts colleges, Pres ident Cowley charged that bias toward universities as opposed to small colleges existed in some gov- ernment circles, and contend that proportionally small colleges have been contributing more to eadership in the nation than larger institu- ionst. Specifically he cited the large number of small college graduates in Who's Who in America and in high administrative posts in Wash ington.

 And on the 150O-mile land front, it is expected that the battle will become more stabilized, with fight ing of any importance continuing on only few of the southern sec- tors. There may be German att tempt to take Murmansk, yet the general establishment of a winter line will give a breathing spell to the Red Army.
 But on the debit side, the threat of famine and of cheerless, unheat- ed homes is great. Epidemic disease is constant threat. Already typhus has broken out.
