BRANCH OFFICE
 TO OPEN HERE
State Rehabilitation De- partmnet Plans to Ex-
 tend Service Soon

A branch office of the state re- mobilization office may be opened here in Waterbury within a short time. At present, officials of this organization are conducting a sur vey of available office space to set lp q program for this area.
 This state organization, the first of it's kind in the nation, is headed by Edward P. Chester, state dire ,t- or with offices located in the State Office building in Hartford, and is affiliated with the State Depart ment of Educator.
 Its purpose is to aid in the re- stabilization of the occupational life of handicapped persons, by means of educating them in overcom- ing physical handicaps so that they might fit themselves into some gain ful occupation.
 Many persons born with such handicaps and others who have acquired them through accidents or illness have been placed in local in dustrial centers and there gainfully employed.
 It is understood. that K. W. Ober- lander, agent from the New Haven office of this program has been in Waterbury the last few days looking over available office space. Difficult ty has been encountered Mir. Ober- lander pointed out, because Of the need for acquiring ground floor space of an office located close to an elevator.
 It is expected that this local pro- gram will aid greatly in offering a helping hand to many of the serv- icemen returning with medical dis charge for whom certain amount of re-adiustment will be required
 The state rehabilitation program was the recipient of a write-up, last wear, in the Readers Digest mag azine, being noted as the first Of It's kind in the country. Many other states have adopted It's general plan ard 1t Is understood that a federal agency Of a similar type has been set up modelled on the Connecticut program.

fact to the Boston public.
Thus, a simple little hap
pening which perhaps may
seem trivial to one or two
readers, was actually one OF
the very important items OF
the entire BAA affair last Sat
urday night. A display of gen.
uine Democracy is always al
important item no matter
where it exists and regardless
as to whom it may concern.
Certainly the $4,000, largely
white patronage, gave colored
boys a wonderfully inspiring
ovation last week at Boston
Garden. There is no getting
away from the fact. And there
were colored troops and fans
wildly cheering for Greg Rice
and numerous other white
lads to come through with We

And after all, this is what
counts the most.
