MOnsignOr VaIdambrini
Appeals to Italian Resi-
dents to Help

Msgr. Joseph Valdambrini In an ad-
lress yesterday over Station WBRY
Urged the italian popul. ton Of the
sity TO support generously the Com
munity and War Chest campaign.
The War Fund offers an oppor-
tunity, he pointed out, for such res
ldents Of Waterbury to come to the
aid Of their loved ones in italy.
Pointing out that the italian race
In the city represents the largest
race group of the local population
and Is equal to about one-third Of
The total population or about 10000,
the pastor Of Our Lady Of Lourdes
church asserted that his fellow Ital-
ians have q special obligation in as
much as they received the greatest
share Of the benefits derived from
the works Of various agencies In the
community fund.
Funds for italian war relief have
been promised by the National War
Fund Headquarters as soon as
agencies to represent italy have
been certified, Msgr. Valdambrini
explained. The National War Fund
budget was set up long before the
invasion Of italy by the Allies.
The Monsignor then pointed out
that more than 5000 young men Of
italian extraction are now repre-
senting the city in Americas armed
forces and that some casualties In
this group have already been SUI
fered.

Joseph A. Schiavone, of New
Haven, vice president of the South
ern New England Chapter of the In
stitute Of Scrap Iron and Steel, said
today that the onset Of winter may
find bare scrap yards unless Con-
necticut achieves its 5000 ton quota
in the forthcoming scrap drive.
''The scrap dealers Of Connecticut
have shipped between. $4,000 and 40,-
900 tons Of scrap every month Tor
the last IS months. but the present
trend does not reflect the same up-
ward curve as started last July and
August. It was this upturn which
kept scrap flowing satisfactorily In
to steel mills and resulted In record
steel production during the past
Rear," Mr.. Schiavone explained.

upon to speak she cliinaxed her re-
marks by saying Of the honor that
had been accorded her, ut Is o sign
that darkness and silence need
not bar the progress Of the immortal
spirit After all Helen Keller is the
one who must give the final evl.
dence In her case. Her faith is that
God Is good. She believes that In
spite OF her handicaps. Indeed I
think her sublime faith Is due In
no small part to the courage with
which she has conquered those same
handicaps.
"God Is still our stronghold. Even
though the nations seem to have
put their present trust In weapons
OF war, In the weight and accuracy
of bullets and sheels and bombs,
sooner or later we shall have to
get back to the business Of reor-
ganizlng the world on principles Of
justice mad Righteousness. II the
nations decide to walk Justly and
humbly before God, there Is some
hope for q settled peace. There is
hope that God will prove our fort
ress and our stronghold. II we defy
His laws 1t Is no use to say, Heaven
help us!" In the day Of trouble. One
Of the most telling illustrations with
regard to this can be discovered In
q pamphlet written by missionary
from Free China. He says, Many
times In the last two years ! have
had q race to reach an empty grave
or q cave, while the enemy planes
rolled by overhead dropping bombs.
These occurrences brought home to
me In o very practical way that al
though science long ago took us out
OF the caves and gave us fine homes
made ships to sail the seas and to
fly above the clouds, 1t also created
bombers which now drive us back
into the caves again.-This Is what
happens to o world that has plenty
Of science but too little conscience
to direct IT, That missionary had O
right to his convictions. II the So
called Christian nations Of Western
Europe had spent one tenth part
or perhaps even one hundredth part
as much on missionaries and the
furtherance Of international good
will as they spent on war and the
preparations for war, this world
would be different place today.

scrap from homes and farms and
business blocks can be carefully pre-
pared and put in readiness for ship
ment to steel mills during the win
ter months when the flow Of scrap
normally drops to the years low"
Mr.. Schlavone pointed out that
there were two more scrap baling
presses installed in Connecticut since
the last scrap drive. and indicated
that the need for light scrap as well
as heavy scrap is urgent. Even gal
vanized material can be used when
properly sorted, even though the
ceiling price on this item Is lower
than the regular scrap steel price"
Mr.. Schiavone explained.
"Al metal Is useful for salvage
once Il Is properly prepared and It
Is the responsibility Of the dealers
OF the state to make certain that
all non-ferrous metals are removed

One Of the highlights OF the eve

city election who appeared as guests
Of the organization.
Mayor John s. Monagan delivered
his address In French In which he
traced the large migration Of the
French from Canada in Waterbury.

rnents here.

ment to the mills" Mr.. schiavone
said.
He also pointed out that there are
some rs grades Of steel into which
the household scrap and farm scrap
must be sorted, and explained that
the number Of men available to
handle this semi-skilled operation
In dealers yards Is only half what
1t was last year, even though wages
have been raised In order to prevent
any increase in the transfer from
this essential industry into other
plants.
'Tf the people Of Connecticut win
perform the initial operation Of get
ting their scrap ready for collection
and doing It at the rate Of Is pounds
per person. we feel certain that the
needs OF the war machine for steel
production might be seriously
threatened for the lack Of scrap"
Mr.. schiavone concluded.

The Wartime Employment Clinics
are designed to help make perma-

of Negro women workers by facili-
tating their adjustment 10 their
present jobs. However, we welcome
any opportunity to be Of service
and will gladly refer jobs seekers
10 local placement agencies"
The employment program OF the

Employment Clinics to be set up
throughout the country. The clinics
will take the form OF forums, round
table discussions, panel discussions,
open air meetings with community
sings, radio presentations, dramati-
cations, and other such means TO
point up the employment problems
OF women workers.
Employers, as we'll as employees,
will participate in the meetings, and
an attempt will be made to reduce
absenteeism and problems on the
job, and to improve race relations.
The Department Of Employment
OF the National Council has distrib-
uted materials to its Metropolitan
Councils affiliated national organi-
cations, and TO interested persons
and organization heads throughout
the country. Letters have been re.
ceivcd from Jacksonville, Florida
Camilla, Georgia, Riverton, New
