finance BOARD
MEETS TONIGHT
Difference Of Opinion to Be
Recorded on Isolation
Ward Plans

What is expected to be the final
meeting of the board of finance for
the purpose of revising city depart
mental budgets will be held tonight
at 7 p. m. At that time the board
will take under consideration the
recommendation of the board of
health that an additional wing be
built on to st. Mary's hospital, with
city funds, and to be used as an
isolation hospital.
Dr. Andrew j. jackson, city
health commissioner and DR.. E. j..
Godfrey city health officer are ex-
pected to attend to urge the board
to adopt such program.
Under the proposed plan the city
would construct the wing and the
hospital would maintain it COM
pletely thereafter, being permitted to
retain all accrued patients fees.
Opposition is expected to be met
for the proposal on the part of the
finance board as it is estimated by
many of the members that such a
plan Is not feasible at the present.
1t is pointed out that the city has
an isolation hospital on Watertown
avenue, which at the moment is on
lease to the Connecticut Children'S
Hospital Association. One proposed
plan called for the city renting a
ward or wards in this latter institu-
ton. This latter progtram would
call for the city paying rent, fur
nishing a nursing staff and beds,
and collecting the fees while the
hospital would maintain the gen.
eral equipment.
Just what final plan will be
adopted is just now matter of con-
lecture. However, it is certain that
an appropriation will be made so
that definite program for handl-
ing isolation cases for the city will
be put in operation.
After tonights meeting all city
departmental budgets as reviewed
by the board of finance will be sub
mitted to the city clerk for formal
submission to the board of alder
men on Friday night.
The latter board can or cannot
vote in favor of having the bud
gets printed after which time they
are expected to call for public
meeting at which all budgets will
be again reviewed.
The budgets must be reviewed and
final approval given by December
18th.

Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, area VINO
director. said the plan, incorporat-
ing amendments requested when
the area labor management COM
mittee met last Friday. will be sent
to the individual members today
and their vote on the complete
document will be asked. 1t is be-
Iieved final action will be secured
by Thursday and then the plan will
be submitted for approval to the
Boston VINO regional headquarters.
Because the hiring controls, which
will direct placement of workers to
the most vital war producers, are
closely connected with sterilization
regulations, it is believed the state
headquarters will hold off the "go"
signal on the controls until the
local committee is ready with a new
sterilization plan.
In reality the local postponement
of the new hiring program expired
Saturday but no word was forth
coming from the state headquarters
today that any change was planned
and it was assumed Waterbury
would continue on the status quo
basis.
Manufacturers this mroning be-
gan to contact employment authori-
ties with requests on their ratings
on the priority list. 1t was indicated
their requests will be granted on
presentation of formal petition,
but no public release will be made
on the classifications until a direc-
tive is issued by the state au-
| thoritieS.
ClaSsifications are in accordance
| with the urgency of manufacturing
| in the war effort. rather than on
| the general Importance of the pro-
duction, it has been indicated. 1t
is believed the majority Of plants
which are engaged 100 per cent in
war production will be included in
the "a" classification, although
some "B' ratings may be made for
such factories.
Manufacturers who secure the
CA rating will be first in line for
new workers and will be allowed to
expand production. Those in the
second classification will be allowed
to obtain new workers when re-
placements are needed. while those
in the &C" group will receive no
placements. Changes in ratings
will be made by the state priority
and urgency groups as need arises,
it has been pointed out. All place
ment work will be conducted by the
U. S. Employment Service.

We started early up the ,oinding trail
Before the chipnunks and tho

Had fed from morning; families Of

Ran out across our pathway and
tDere gone.
The air ,oas punoent NTH the leares
that stirred ..
Beneath our feet: then suddenly

Came soaring like q mammoth,
golden bird
Above the jagged mountain; day
Dds here.
A psiI OF amber radiance ioas spread
Across the lake, and on the cedar

While every forest throat asooke to
song;
So shall peace come; her silent, sure
tread
Be beautiful as daton, and eager Aps
Shall sing for Joy that hars been
mute too long.

the CLIO not only wants to preserve
its living standards at the expense Of
the public standard, but would saddle
the people as a whole with at least
part of the cost OF this preferred
treatment. The second was the last
minute refusal to approve recon-
mendation for incentive" wage pay
ments to encourage increased pro-
duction. The national officers had
reported favorably on this proposal,
but it was stricken from the final
policy statement because of the op-
position OF r. ]. Thomas, head of the
United Automobile Workers. Here
was a chance for men to earn higher
incomes if willing to do more or bet
ter work. Not only the individuals.
but the war effort, would have bene-
fitted. Yet the CLIO refused to approve
it, apparently preferring to rest on
the demand for more money for all,
the good workers as we'll as the bad.
In the face of these labor demands,
Wayne L. Morse, public member of
the War Labor Board, has said that
the little steel formula would be
maintained, regardless of the pres
sure from organized labor 1t is to
be hoped that Dean Morse and his
associates on the board will prove
equal to this task but their prospects
are not bright unless they receive the
most vigorous support from the
country as whole.

Urges Constructive Patriotism
In Place Of Stimulated Panic.

40 tne BQitor OF 1ne 6tAT.
do not think that opinions such as
that expressed by 1t. Col Harold Evans
Hartney, concerning the bombing OF
Washington, should be printed in our
newspapers.
Such predictions as these, with all the
lurid details. are alarmist in nature, and
while they may step up the civilian de-
tense, they also needlessly frighten tinid
and old people and children OF an age
to comprehend their meaning.
Fear does not inspire courage or q will
to accomplish. Instead Of soaring US
into action. why not appeal to our love
for our beautiful city and fire our deter
mination, not to dig it out OF the ruins,
but to make our defenses so strong that
any marauders daring to approach will
be blasted out Of the sky before their
evil eyes so much as glimpse our city?
Col. Hartney comedies that: The city
will not be reduced to rubble-"
Indeed! If we have anything to do
with 1t, the hellish Nazis will not get
chance even to break 4 branch OF one
of our trees.
Come on, soldiers and civilians, let's
make Washington invulnerable. OF
course. We should be vigilant, but please
stress the fact that We want to keep the
MANS out; not to dig ourselves out.
