WARNING CENTER
TO Be CONTINUED
Report Center Also to
Garry on for Duration
Contrary to Reports

As reported to the Democrat yes
terday but withheld because Of Its
confidential nature q meeting was
held bringing together the repre-
sentatives Of both the warning CEN
ter and report center and all off,
Gals Of the civilian defense func-
tons.
The meeting was presided over by
Thomas Marston, deputy admins
traitor Of the Connecticut War Coun-
Gil and because Of the Army censor
ship code that was attached to the
nature Of the discussion just what
was revealed and transpired In re-
CARDS future methods Of operation
as the "centers" cannot now be re-
Vealed.
It was stated by Mr.. Marston,
however, that the warning center
under the command Of Frank Green
of the Chamber Of Commerce and
the report center in the City Hall
under the supervision Of Michael
Hayes and T. e. Olsen, will not dis
continue their operations until the
war Is concluded. It Is definite, he
added. that streamlining Of the
functions of these centers will be
brought about when the Army gives
the signal, but until then opera
tions will continue as at present.
It is believed that yesterday after
Moons and last nights meetings
laid the ground work for such
streamlining.

joint campaign. The papers were
written on the history and work Of
the various agencies participating
In the Community Chest Fund.
Yesterday afternoon George Evon
Of Leavenworth High school paid
tribute to the Waterbury Boys Club
and its magnificent program for the
youth Of Of this city. His paper was
highly commended by Frederick s.
Chase, president IF the Club. Il
read as follows:
The Boys Club continues to
play a very important role in
making good citizens OF our
youth; by enticing them to prac-
tice government, in promoting
friendship, by giving boys some
Of the benefits Of life which they
cannot afford, by teaching boys
to practice good sportsmanship,
and in preventing juvenile delin-
quency.
At the Boys Club, government
Is practiced by means Of various
sport organizations in which the
boys take part the year round.
These organizations usually are
formed to arrange for sporting
equipment to be used in the sports
field. These organizations elect
their own officials and make their
own rules. The best example Of
government at the Boys Club Is
the Junior Counsel through which
younger members and Club off,
cials confer.
Every day new friendships are
acquired at the Boys Club. A boy
may develop real cornpanionship
in his leisure time, he may be
seated in the Club lobby when an
other member may ask him to
play checkers, ping-pong or bill
lizards, thus forming a new friend
ship.
All boys cannot afford to 60 to
the movies, get wholesome recrea-
ton, or buy sporting luXuries. The
Boys Club realizes this and has
provided means by which such
boys may obtain or share these

CHICAGO, June l8 - tPD-
Hal Trosky, former Cleveland
first baseman. was ready today
to end his Self-imposed retire
ment from baseball and return
to the Indians lineup where he
established a ninc-ycar batting
average Of .3l3.

longer suffering from severe mi
graine headaches which forced
him TO retire before the start 70

the Chicago White Sox tonight
Trosky came here yesterday
from his farm home at Norway.
Ia, and worked out with the ST.
Louis Browns. He is 20 pounds
lighter-doWn to about 1875
pounds-than when he last ap
pcared in an Indian uniform in
1871.
I'm not suffering from mi
graine headaches like ! former
ly did" Trosky said. "My trou-
bles seemed to have disappeared
entirely. | am happy because Of
it. I'm anxious TO return to base

There are several things l
will have TO work out with the
Cleveland management before
anything definite can be done,
but | hope we can iron out those
problems while the Indians arc
mere in Chicago"
The Indians last winter urged
Trosky to return, after Les
Fleming, who succeeded Trosky
last season and hit 1872, elected
TO remain in war work in the
West Coast shipyards. At that
time. however. Trosky's head
aches and the problems involved
in the operation Of his Iowa
farm caused him to decline.
The tribe used Otto Denning,
catcher, and Roy Cullenbinc
an outfielder. at first base early
this Spring. Cullenbine finally
clinchcd the job but a shortage
of fly chasers caused Manager
Lou Boudreau TO shift him
back TO the outfieh and on June
5 the tribe acquired Mickey
Rocco from Buffalo Of the inter
national league TO play first
base. Rocco is currently hitting
