Rival Companies In
 Race For Franchise
Eight National Airlines Interested in Waterbury as
 Airline Terminal; Statement Issued

Civil Aeronautics Board seeking to extend this pioneer company's operations into the important New England sector.
 "The new application contem- plates service from Washington and Baltimore, already on PCA's flight schedule, through Whining ton, Delaware, Philadelphia, Tren- ton, Newark to New York. From New York, in addition to a direct airline to Boston, the PCA plan also purposes two directional de- velopments. Service from New York to Boston through Bridge port, New Haven, New London, New Bedford, Fall River, Provi- dence, Attleboro, Taunton and Brockton. Another route from New York would link that city with Boston via New Britain, Wa terbury, Meriden, Bristol, Hart ford, Springfield and Worcester, and thus offer complete network of serial service to the New Eng land area. The proposed service would provide the only direct ser- vice from Boston to Norfolk, PCA President Monro points out, in addition to offering another major link for the important and populated New England area with Pennsylvania CentraPs service in the twelve states in which 1t now operates.
 "PCA is now in it's 17th year of operation and is one of the coun- try's pioneer airlines.
 "The routes we have projected, MT. Monro stated, will bring about an integrated network of air transportation that will assure greater accessibility and commu- nication to the people of this highly important area with New York, Washington, Philadelphia and the many other outlets served by the Pennsylvania oper- ations. The routes contemplated by PCA, 1t is pointed out, again emphasize this company's policy of short haul which is predicated on the greatest service of air transportation to the greatest number of people by shortening distances between terminals"

WAR COUNCILS
 AIDING DRIVE
State Chairman Woodcock Appeals to Local Chair.
 men to Be on Alert

The volunteer organization of the Connecticut War Council reaching into every community of the state was alerted today by State War Administrator Harold P. Woodcock for aid in the Third War Loan in Connecticut.
 MT. Woodcock. after conferences with Colonel Thomas Hewes, State Administrator of the War Finance Committee. gave the campaign his official endorsement, and in let- ter to chairmen of all local War Councils urged that they give care- ful consideration to means of as- sisting in the person o-person can- vass that will be major project in the Third War Loan in this state from September to 30th.
 This is the first time that the State War Council organization has participated in a War Bond sales drive, and MT. Woodcock explained that action is entirely optional with each local War Council. Some of the local councils on their own ini- tiative have worked on War Bond sales campaigns in an organized way for some time
 We believe" he said, "howeyer. that the most exhaustive efforts of Civilian Defense workers are urg- ently needed in this particular un- dertaking'
 Mir Woodcock said he had agreed vrJth rn1nt,a1 tt,ot ell officials in each town would be asked to consult with local War Finance Committee chairmen as their first step in planning for the canvass. Among groups he suggest ed might be called upon for action are air raid wardens. Block Plan and Neighborhood Plan groups. Wo- mems Battalions, auxiliary fire and police or other Civilian Defense units.
 In his letter, MT. Woodcock said
 '"Ihe United States Treasury ha officially requested the assistanc and support of the Connecticut Wa council and of all local War Coun cils in promoting the Third Wa lJOdIl III oCPVSlilUCl. l iiC VAiAiC Aiu arrived when all individuals must be approached about their persona obligation to invest in War Savings Bonds. The importance of the cam. paign cannot be overestimated as 1t is obvious that this war cannot be won until people provide the cash to finance 1t.
 We want to give this project our whole hearted endorsement and to ask every local War Council in the state to give full and careful consideration to possible means of assisting in the canvass of homes. f"
 MT. Woodcock's letter was sent to chairmen of I'll War Councils in the 160 towns of Connecticut, com- canders of the Citizens Defense Corps, executives of the Citizens Service corps, chairmen of Volun- teer Offices and chief air raid ward- ems.

Liquor Goes Out Of Stote

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 14.-CUP)- State Tax Commissioner Walter w. Walsh today had completed sur vey which f/owed that shipments of distilled liquors to out-of state points the past few months have increased by more than 1000 per cent.
 He said this indicated that there is higher profit in such sales and pointed to the fact that this has contributed to a shortage of liquor In Connecticut.
 The survey was undertaken to de- termine whether the state was be- ing deprived of liquor tax revenues by such sales. Walsh said he will make the statistics available to the Office of Price Administration which is Investigating Black Market operations and violations of price ceilings.

Rogers said: "It is evident to all that the speedy conversion of Con- necticuts war plants to peecetime products will be an important fac tor, but this alone is not enough. New industry, new business, new products must be developed to in- sure the states future prosperity and to continue the employment of Connecticut people at a high level"
 "The task of attracting new in- dustries,' MT. Rogers said, "cannot be accomplished overnight. The purchase of a factory site, or even 8 home or a farm, requires investi- gation, comparison and study. It is for this reason that your state de- velopment commission is beginning now to feature Connecticut's ad- vantages both from the industrial and residential standpoint"
 The initial step in advertising the state will be conducted through series of advertisements in TIME magazine ad the keynote of the pro- gram will be the states aviation industry which MT. Rogers described as "A magnet to draw attention and interest"
 While Connecticut leads in many fields of industry" MT. Rogers said, There are sound reasons for the selection of the aviation industry to keynote this current campaign. Connecticut now occupies domin- ant position in the manufacture of aircraft engines, propellors and air craft components. We are all inter- ested in maintaining and expanding the states leadership in this field. Then, too, nearly every one of Connecticut's present industries will be effected by the postwar develop ment of aviation"
 Future minded aviation copy at tracts industrialists generally, whether or not their industries are closely linked to aviation. It makes concrete and specific some of the more important of Connecticut's in dustrial advantages, without in any way limiting the scope of our pro gram"

feel there is no use protesting loss fOl
which we think we are not responsible
but it certainly does no harm, at least
we learn lot about what the Other

act as Il safety valve.
Apart from the money angle it is
very unpleasant to be blamed fOl
something we believe beyond our con
troll. In many potteries we understand
the money angle has been done away
with, but how that works for the
blame angle we do not know, perhaps
some O. c. could enlighten us as we
have an agreement which probably
more than cOmpensates for unavOid
able loss.
Other thoughts with regard to this
problem would be welcomed - won't
you let us have them?
Brother James Quigley is very busy
looking after our physical welfare and
it is quite surprising the good results
he is obtaining among our older fellow
workers, which is encouraging.

including eyeSight conservation and
safety, plant protection, transportation

AS outdoor recreatiOnal activities

discouraged
OF course, to the extent that econ

fields without impairment of function

The reasons for the above exceptions
should be made clear to the public.

on all of these industries to cooperate
concludes:

Cooperation of these industries in ask

real sacrifice by them. We ask tn,
American public to appreciate tina

Der and Related Products Industry,
convened under the Fair Labor Stand
