MORTTCIANS HIT
 BY WAR MEASURES

War conditions are greatly hin dering local funeral directors. WIPE regulations have frozen many un. dertaker supplies, and others are becoming difficult to obtain because of shortages.
 Raymond E. Snyder, secretary of the Waterbury Funeral Director Association announced that four licensed embalmers and four lic- ensed apprentices have gone into the army recently, leaving only 20 licensed embalmers and two ap- prentices, a man and a woman, available. He added that most of the men remaining are married and have families. Therefore the situa- tion should not be come serious.
 Philip Maiorano. John w. Stokes Edward c. FrederickS and Lester Kennedy are the licensed embalm- CTS who have gone into the service. The apprentices who have entered or are about to enter the service are Francis Kaliszewski, Vincent McElligott. John Winston, and A. John Ruzzo. Stephen Bergin, a lic- ensed funeral director. has also gone into the service.

 Actually performers have been get ting astronomical returns for more than 100 years. As far back as the late 1700s and the really 1800s man. agers already were accustomed to paying stars sums ranging from $85,- 0000 to $135 900 for a single season. In the coin of that era this equals if not exceeds the purchasing power of most of the Hollywood remunera- tion of today.
 Before the Movies
 There were no films in those days so the big pay went to opera and concert stars such as Maria Mali bran, long forgotten contralto, who drew down $120,000 for the season of 1886. A dollar that year went about four times as far as it does now so

Our mentor tells you to reverse
this business, and here is why.
When you wear an invisible gar
land of violets, jasmine, lilies of
the valley or what-have-you.
while there's a snow storm raging,
you can be April's little ambassa-
dor to winter. On the other hand,
when you wear an opulent or
lushly-ripe flower scent as an
accessory for sun-stained skin,
summers blossomy prints or tropi-
cal colors. you can make your per-
fume emphasize your effects.

ON your perfume to create a new
mood or add zest to an old one.
When a perfume makes you twin

do your best bib and tucker, not
as you do your everyday hat. If,

your perfume to your personality,
says Mrs. Angus; not to your blond

to a tender flowery scent, simply
because you are a Dresden-doll

N.H.Laborers Win Increase Of Ten Cents
Hourly Rate to Go From Eight-6ve to Ninety-fve
 Cents Beginning July 1

New Haven's Building Laborers resumed work this week with as- surances of a 1Oc hourly increase after 3-day stoppage brought the general contractors to the dotted line. The increase is effective on July l. International Representa- tive Vincent Arena assisted Business Agent George Limosani and cOm- mittee from Local 455 in reaching settlement Saturday night.
 Until July the rate will remain at 85c an hour. The Union had asked for a dollar an hour but compromised at. o5c in order not to hold up work being done on war orders.
 A conference in Governor Robert A. Hurley's office last week failed to prevent the stoppage when the con- tractors represented by Edward F. Kelley refused to offer more than a 5c-hourly raise. Limosani had then pointed to the Bridgeport rate of o5c where living costs are no higher than in New Haven.

HERE'S WHAT Bill Green said at the AFL-CIO Rally in Pittsburgh: :
 Mere words and flag-waving won't win this war. Hard fighting will. Shipping at each other, name calling, blaming the other fellow that sort of activity won't win this war. National unity will"
 s'New laws? Why, not a single one of the fantastic labor proposals now before Congress or all of them put together can't win this war. But hard work will.
 ''This work has to be done and is being done by the millions of men and women of labor through out the nation. They are on the job, night and day. They are giving the job all their skill and all their strength. They will stay on the job until this war is won. This is labor's solemn pledge to America"
