WASHINGTON, May II GNSl
"A Senate banking and currency
subcommittee today approved a
bill 10 make silver available for
private industry, with provision
that treasury silver cannot be sold
or leased for less than Ill cents

An amendment also was added
restricting lease OF treasury silver

The result was a partial victory
for the Senate silver bloc which
fought provisions IN last years bill
authorizing sale at not less than
an average OF 30 cents an ounce
While the amount OF silver the
treasury may provide Tor private

new helicopter the Navy is going for in a big way. We can't say why but we can guess. All indica- tions points to thousands of jobs that will be created by mass pro duction of the Helicopter for "alr iitneys" and private low cost ar transportation.
 In spite of the speed-up in pro duction, industry showed a slight drop in dividends. Workers are to feel the real pinch this month when twenty per cent is clipped from their pay for taxes in ad- dition to war bonds and social se- curity deductions and the rising cost of living.
 Last but by no means least, the New Haven Railroad is now carry ing more freight and passengers with less equipment than ever be- fore in it's history.
 The rubber supply, despite the Japs, is expected to reach twice it's peacetime tonnage next year-to be used only for armed services and essential civilian transporta- tion. Despite some early bungling, with MT. Jeffers Gin the saddle" the synthetic rubber campaign IS really hitting it's stride.
 Sure there's grumbling, and some folks not doing as much as they could grumbling against ration ing methods, but that's America both in and out of the armed serv- ices.

DHING WELL HERE

Ranking eighth among all the states, little Connecticut, at the close of the first half of 1943, outranked all other states more than three to one in per capita production of war goods. Yes, with all the stories you may hear about strikes, pleasure riding, etc., the Old Nutmeg State is really "going over the top" with an estimated ninety three per cent of industry's workers now engaged in producing the stuff that is going to enable you to "axe the Axis"
 Right now industry is nearing maximum production since we are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find over-age and physically handicapped persons and women enough to keep pace with the loss of younger able bodied skilled men who are being released to help you do the "big job'' in Europe and in the Far East. To keep up the pace the Manufacturing Committee of Governor Baldwin's War Council is now compiling a directory of all training facilities, and will make a special plea to manufacturers to use every training facility, even more intensively than at present.
 In Hartford County some 41,OO0 women are at work out of total of 112,819 productive workers. Fact is you can't tell lem from men according to story go- the rounds of Hartford County plants.

EFFICIENT

Every Bloomfield boy and girl in the uniformed services and a great host of friends throughout the Town will join Mildred Peck's associates of the Editorial Board of "The Messenger" in an expres- sion of best wishes for speedy and complete recovery from her recent illness and operation.
 Few knew that Mildred was all ing. Typical of her and the stock from which she was born, she kept her personal troubles to herself had hid the pain and worry of It all behind a grand little smile. She even continued with her duties at the local school until almost the hour of starting the long ride to the hospital and worked on the change of address cards of "her soldier boys" during the last few minutes.
 A great many local organlza- tions know something of Mildred's willingness to work hard for whatever she considers a worthy cause, know something of her gen. eral ability but it may have been our privilege to discover her real capacity to fully understand her tolerance, her keen sense of value and the power of her loyalty. She has been one of the hardest work CTS on our Staff. It was her task +o oathe7o and record the addresses of those in service. It has been her responsibility to keep track of the constant meanderings of all those in uniform and to keep a perfect record of all our paid subscribers. She has had to see that more than a thousand envelopes were ad- dressed each month and has had to muster a corps of volunteer workers to stuff, fold, stamp, and mail each issue.
 Mildred Guilmartin Peck has been able to accomplish all this with the aid of very small group because she was capable of insp1r- ing them to share her passion for "The Messenger" and it's mission. Those local associates will gladly carry on in her behalf to the best of their ability for such time as may be required to restore her to the good health she deserves. All eagerly await the announcement that she is again able to resume her regular staff duties.

A STENCIL

Recently we were awakened !11 in the wee small hours by the shr1ll wall of the fire siren at the cenOer We looked out through several windows until we had covered the noints of the compass, and then satisfied that there was no eXclt- ing conflagration to lure us rom the comfort of the bed, we settled down and went to sleep agaln. i.
 An hour or so later a different stimulus was disturbing our sum- bers, a stimulus quite as clamorous
