DISCUSSION ON
FEE REDUCTION
Child=Care Center Commit
tee Meeting Today to
Prepare Plans

A meeting of local Child care
Center officials will be held this
afternoon at which time the prin-
copal discussion will center on the
recent directive of the Federal
Works Agency reducing the daily
fee charged to parents from $1.00
to $50.
Miss Marion Hunt, chairman OF
the committee, will presided at the
meeting, which will likewise draw
up tentative plans for scheduled
meeting to be held between the
local officials and representatives
of the State Department of Educa-
ton and the FWA.
The recent directive of the F'WA
was made for the purpose of In
ducing a more general use OF the
child-care centers by local war
working mothers. The situation
wherein many of these centers are
not being utilized to their fullest
advantage is prevalent all over the
country, with Waterbury being one
of the best utilized. Some 40 to so
children daily are being taken care
of by the local centers.
The difference of $50 caused by
the recent reduction will be made
up by tn government to nay extent
wherein the original local buget
estimate for operations Is upset and
a deficit may occur.

Budget Director

there will be a great many ezeinp-
tons and attachments caused by
many of Waterbury's Taxpayers be-
ing in the armed services.
This is an increase of two million
in the grand list, however, over the
current estimate, but the tax rate
will not be affected accordingly.
Under city charter estimates must
be based only on 90 percent of the
local tax levy and on such a basis
a million dollar increase results in
but $27, 300 increase in revenue so
that the present increase of two
million is just double.
Il was estimated by Budget Dir
ector Thorvald Olsen that the sur
plus at the end of the year will be
S474 1913 but advises using the more
conservative figure of $43069 to
avoid over estimating. This surplus
figure is arrived at by total g the
$119,G01 so, the surplus balance from
1912 and 1929, 088.01 the estimated
surplus for the current year.
The 1914 budget will maintain the

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 23.-An
Army Ordnance maintenance bat
TALON established a remarkable
record for combat efficiency in keep
ing the fast-moving tanks and
trucks of the Second Armored Divi-
sion rolling northward from Licata
20 Palermo.
Brigadier General Guy H. Drewry
district chief, commanding the
Springfield Ordnance District, SAID
today that 95 Ordnance officers and
enlisted men fought in the front
line at Celia and Bampobello for
two days and helped the division to
establish the American bridgehead
in that area despite direct assault
by German tanks, Smelling by 88-mm
guns, and continuous bombing and
strafing by the Luftwaffe.
When the division lunged north
ward on two parallel routes" he
said, "highly trained Ordnance COM
bat mechanics followed the Ameri-
can armor closely along narrow,
twisting, rocky, mountainous roads.
Bridges and tunnels had been dyna-
lnited. BOBBY traps and demolition
mines were numerous. Army Ord
nance tanks and trucks were there
fore subjected to the most brutal
sort of punishment.
Despite these time-consuming
Obstacles" General Drewry declared,
"the Ordnance battalion roared into
Palermo only five days after the
division had bivouaced outside the
city, with all vehicles in running
condition except those completely
destroyed by enemy shell fire or
'cannibalized' by Ordnance troops"
Explaining the word "cannibal-
ized," the SOD District chief sale
that at the start of the 39-day
Sicilian campaign, the battalion had
only a few extra medium tank
engines and no extra transmissions.
Ordnance troops therefore cannibal-
ized-that is, completely stripped
three damaged General Sherman
tanks of engines, transmissions
tracks, suspensions and all other
equipment in order to keep other
tanks going. AS a result of this
ingenuity, the battalion was able to
do major repair work, involving
removal each time under battle con-
ditions, Of II tank engines and six
transmissions. This was in addi-
ton to the quick repair work done
on all damaged half-tracks, trucks
and cars of one of General Patton's
hardest-punching divisions.

GREEK CLOTHING

Chairman Peter Laskas of the
Waterbury chapter of the Greek
War Relief association announced
today that his committee of workers
had suspended the collection of
clothing for the war victims of
Greece. Work of obtaining sadly
needed wearing apparel for the dis
tressed nation would be resumed
after December 5, the date on which
the state drive for discarded cloth

During the state drive the local
Greek committee will function in an
effort to have Waterbury exceed its
assigned quota of 1880 pounds of
clothing.
