hard at work on programs of mass

brash conduct Of that minority in

to violence at the slightest provoca-

used is that Joe Louis always re-
fused TO hit foul blow because he
wanted to keep his record clean

who lose their heads and hit foul
blows are hurting the chances of
the race for winning a clean demo-

good argument. What do you think,

WACS SEEKING
 MEMBERS HERE
Formal Recruiting Cam. paign Opens Tomorrow
 at Victory House

Since the recruiting of Aviation Cadets and WACs fro mWaterbury is now being done through the New Haven Armed Forces Induction Dis trict instead of Hartford as it has been in the past, plans are being laid here by team from New Hav- en to open an intensive recruiting program.
 The campaign will get underway on Tuesday, August IT, with an opening celebration on the green. Officers and enlisted personnel of the Army and WAC from the New Haven Induction Center will be greeted officially by Mayor John Mon,Igan as well as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their Auxil- iary at 1O:30 a. m. Tuesday in front of the City Hall. Following this the Victory Huose will be turned over to them for the recruiting of Avia- ton Cadets and ACs. There will also be WAC stationed in the east lobby of the Post Office where any, one interested in either branch may get information or fill out an ap- plication.
 Staff Sergeant Frederick R. Vest brook of the ArmN and Sgt Mar jorie Martin and Cpl Arlene Rob- inson of the WAC will be located at the Victory House and the Post Office every Tuesday and Wednes- day from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Since the campaign here is being spon- sored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their Auxiliary, inform ation will be available at other times through either of these or ganizations or from Frank Keefe of the Civil Service Office in the Post Office.
 Because there has been no Army recruiting office in Waterbury for the past several months, it is ex- pected that there will be an excel lent response to the recruiting pro- gram here. The WAC should also be very successful since they are now part of the Army of the U. s. and the new age requirements are 20 to 50. This will lift the bars for many who were anxious to join some time ago but were unable to do so because they were outside the age limits.

Milk Rationing by Fall
Forecast by Official
~
OF National Institute
Prediction includes Dairy
Products and Bottles
Delivered at Door
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Mer-
rill C. Vaughan, executive secre-
tary of the American Dry Milk
Institute, said today he believed
all milk and milk products, in
Guiding fresh milk delivered at
the door, would be rationed,
probably next fall"
Mr.. Vaughan expressed the opinion
to newsmen at the spring meeting
of the Trade Association Executives
War Conference during which he
had asked an OPA official if all
foods would be rationed and, if so,
how soon.
The official, Charles H. Jansen,
head of the Retail Wholesale Food
Rationing Division of the OPA, one
of the speakers, refused to answer
the question.
To reporters, Mr.. Vaughan said,
II believe that all milk and all milk
products will be rationed, probably
in the fall. The COWS give only
so much milk"
Mr.. Vaughan said the Nation is
drinking Is per cent more milk now
than normally, and attributed it
partly to the national nutrition pro-
gram and party to the shortage of
coffee and other beverages.
THE rationing of fresh milk, such
as the milk in bottles left at the
door, will be the devil of job" he
said. but I still believe it will be
rationed by fall"
