 Needed In Campaign
Mayor Issues Special Appeal for Waterburians to
 Increase Weekly Payments Toward War Bonds

More than 5000 pledges have al- ready been secured in the War Bond pledge campaign, according to Chairman James E. Moran. The city's quota is 35,000 pledges.
 Emphasis will be placed on efforts to have persons now making weekly payments toward bond purchases increase the weekly amounts. In this connection, Mayor Vincent A. Scully has issued the following statement:
 "Regardless of whether or not 1t is possible at this time to increase the amount of regular systematic savings in War Bond and Stamps, every individual man, woman. and child in Waterbury, who is already buying bonds should sign a pledge in this campaign. Every family participating should display the blue window label whcih indicates that the family is doing its part. The final totals are intended to rep resent the entire amount that the Treasury can count on from Water- bury.
 "During the present week the hundreds of volunteer Minute Men who are canvassing every neigh borhood will complete the task of securing the 35,000 pledges which constitute our Waterbury quota in the campaign If your Minute Man has not already called expect his visit this week and be ready to pledge for the entire family indiv- idually or as a unit.

STRAND

The Strands policy of two first run, first Waterbury showing fea- lures every Saturday, Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday, scored again with the current showing of sos Coast Guard" starring Halph Byrd, Max inc Doyle and Bela Lugosi. It's a good rousing thriller that takes one back to his youth. Ralph Byrd (of Dick Tracy fame) scores heav- fly as the young Coast Guard lieu tenant who plunges through one violent adventure after another in his efforts to apprehend some in- ternational crooks. The intriguing plot deals with enemies of the United States government who try to smuggle deadly gas to Nora yania, a mythical kingdom totter- ing on the brink of warfare. The action and thrills are interspeFsed with a running romance between Maxine Doyle and Ralph Byrd.
 For your further entertainment, the second, first run, first Water bury showing, feature on the same program offers comedy, singing and beautiful outdoor photography. All this in Rolling Down the Great Divide" starring Bill Boyd and Art Davis. You'll agree with us when you view this drama, that il suypasseg all westerns you have ever seen,

JEWISH FESTIVAL
 OBSERVED FRIDAY
ShOuvuOus to Rededicate Hebrew People to Their
 Faith and Ideals

In a day of doubt and confusion, of the loss of faith, ard the denial of virtues and ideals, the Jewish festival of Shovous, or the feast of weeks, which Jews will celebrate on May 9, will be especially sig nificant. It commentaries the re- dedication of the Jewish people to their faith and their religious ideals.
 Originating as a festival marking the end of the grain harvest, 1t de- veloped after the fall of the tem- pie, in the year 70 of the Common Era, into commemoration of the Giving of the Law. The Book of Exodus records the giving of the Tablets of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai as occurring early in the Hebrew month of Sivon. The festival of Shovuos falls on the sixth day of the month of Sivon, which approximates late May and early Jure.
 Shovuos is called the Feast of Weeks" because it falls seven weeks Ca week of weekS) after Passover which marked the beginning of the harvest season.
 Reform Jews celebrate the fes- tival for one day: Conservative and Orthodox Jews celebrate it for two days.
 In the 18th Century, Reform Jews introduced the ceremony of Con- flrmation into the Shovuos Sehv- ice. This ceremoney, now also followed in many conservative synagogues. is formal confirma- tion of both boys and girls in their faith. It is symbolic of the giving and of the acceptance of the Law.
 The Book of Ruth with its story of Ruth's acceptance of the Jewish faith is read in the synagogue serv- ice on the festival.
 Greenery and fresh flowers are used to decorate the home and synagogue as a reminder of the original agricultural character of the holiday.

Grim Expectancy Hangs Over Calcutta

 An airport in Western, India, May l8-Even while the Japanese ad- vance toward India's eastern border was still miles away, it's effects were visible. saw them in Calcutta, where I awaited a train for Delhi, before flying on to this airport beside the Arabian Sea.
 There is an air of grim expect ancy among the white and native population of Calcutta. Many natives wonder why Calcutta has not yet been bombed or why the Japs have not started a drive to- wards this third largest city in the British Empire.
 TWO FACTORS
 EXPLAIN DELAY
 There are two reasons, of course. One is geographical. The mountains and swamp country be- tween Irrawaddy and Calcutta make the operation difflcut and for the time it's more important to the Nipponese to keep driving northward through the back door of China.
 The food is good in Calcutta only you don't order the chicken or turkey on the menu because that's usually the crow that was jumping around outside the bed- room window earlier in the morn- ing. And the service is all right, except when there's an alert and then suddenly all the walters dis appear for an indefinite stay solneplace.
 sat on a suitcase in Calcutta's blacked-out Howah railroad sta tion. Five thousand natives, their white garments making them ghostly in the gloom, milled around, trying to leave town quickly on this one train, the Delhi Mail.
 Some half million or more had already evacuated, the whites going west to Bombay and Kar- achi and north to the cool snow capped Himalayas, the natives back to their villages. They left Calcutta @ city of deserted stores, near-barren streets, working fac- tories. Only the hotels teemed with vitality, as American ferry pilots, U. s. military missions, Brit ish officers and Chungking Chinese move in and out.
 HALF MILLION
 PEOPLE EVACUATED
 It was two hours before train time that the natives got restless. They sensed it was time to throw open the last of an unreseryed lot of half a dozen box cars and those five thousand natives in HoWah station got ready.
 They began chanting and then came the rush and in minutes the

 To Delhi is 902 miles but 1t took three days. Stops between stations got longer and longer as the engi- neer got thirstier and thirstier.
