CHAIN LETTER

The Berne correspondent of the
Stockholm newspaper Aftontidningen
reported recently that chain letters
headed "a True Christian Sec" had
ben circulated in Germany declaring
that the air bombing was not the d.
rect work of either the British or the
Americans, but that the Anglo-Amer-
leans were only the instruments by
which sinful Germany is punished"
According to the Aftontidningen, nu-
merous German provincial papers
have urged their readers to surrender
such chain letters to the authorities,
threatening punishment for any per-
son caught distributing them.

UNRRA AGREED ON BIG

To see representatives of Al nations

inspiration to one veteran reporter

SEES EXCHANGE WITH RUSSIANS
Commenting upon postwar posi-
bilities of trade with Russia, William
l.. Bait, vice chairman of the War
Production Board, said that Russia
could furnish platinum and iridium,
of which the United States has "vir-
tually none manganese which a
fully operative steel industry may
need hides to supplement the
worlds supply" certain grades of
wood, and Russian furs. He cited
mining machinery as an example of
goods which the Rus
SLAMS need and for which he said he
expected an increased demand at the
end of the war.
FOODS FOR RUSSIA AND BRITAIN |
Grain is the main food the U. S. is
sending TO Russia, according to the |
War Food Administration, while meat, |
pork, will be the largest |
item among foods to be shipped to
Great Britain in the next 10 months.
In Great Britain, supplies from the
U. S. will be shared by civilians and |

all will go direct to the army.

course it's unfair and only those who
are in close touch with the mind and

how unfair such criticism is. Yet, in
spite Of these attacks upon them, the
farmers of this northwest-and of this

Often throughout the Scriptures the
farmer is referred to as "the husband
man" Thinking it overt is a prop

till the soil - he husbands the re-
sources of his country and brings
them to the use of humanity, in spite
of every natural hindrance, in spite
of war restrictions and in spite of
attacks upon him by
those who still regard him as a sort

you understand his loyalty to America
and it will help you in your own eff

! Deputy Tax Collectors De-

lem to OfRciaIs

CITY officials are concerned with
DE problem Of replacing Raymond
Clark, Deputy Tax collector in the
city tax office, who takes up his
duties with the q. 8. Coast Guard
on Oct. 4th. Clark, who Is col1sid-
cred one Of the city's most valued
and skilled employees, began his
employment with the city in Janu-
airy, 1888. City officials state that it
will be difficult to find someone,
these days who can match his quail
ifications.
Clark, who has but TO pass one
more exam TO be certified as q o. p.
A. attended N. Y. u. Accounting
School for three years, followed by
two more years Of study at the Wal
ton School Of Commerce in Chicago.
This was followed by four years with
a public accounting firm In New
York city, after which he became
affiliated with a brokerage house as
company controller, acting In this
capacity from 1927 to 1882.
It was in 1882 that he came to
Waterbury. as O representative Of
the Kingston accounting firm and
In that year set out to install the
card system now used by the tax
collectors office. In 1893 the request
OF local officials he severed connec-
tons with the latter company and
joined the city payroll.
A strong advocate Of systematic
ed filing and record keeping he
was one Of those strongly In sup
port Of the establishment Of the I.
b. M. card system now in use BY the
tax collectors office. As result Of
the setting up Of this mechanical
system vast Improvement has been
accomplished In tallying the myraid
figures handled by the latter office.
Since this system has been installed,
under Clark'S supervision, balanced
proving Of the open-accounts Of the
tax collectors office aginst the re-
cords Of the controllers office has
been made possible, for the first
time in many years. This system has
accounted, for In great part, the
citation made recently by Harold
Murray, state deputy tax collector,
that Waterbury Is the only city In
the state now issuing annual safe
ments to the individual Taxpayers.
1t Is as result Of this background
that local officials are expressing
the concern over his replacement,
pointing out that the man who fills
the lob will have to be familiar with
the system and It's manifestations,
No one, as yet, has been mentioned
as a possibility.
