outside Frankfort they were
lucky enough to get lift on a
truck, already crowded with ref
ugees. On account of the raid the
driver had bypassed Frankfort on
MS way east to Offenbach. The
destination suited Imhof perfectly
From Offenbach he and Pat would
go south by train on another line.
The plan worked out satisfac

several changes and considerable

BOYS CLUB HELP
 MERCHANT SEAMEN
Members ScOur City for Cross Word Puzzles for
 Game Chests

Waterbury Boys Club members are pasting the enemy. Answering the appeal of merchant seamen for relaxation between the long watches, the boys are collecting and mount ing cross word puzzles to be put in the game chests the United Sea- mems Service gives every ship that goes out.
 These chests, only three feet long, contain magazines, parchesi, domin- ocs, playing cards, and mechanical puzzles. But one of the most popu- lar and most easily packed are cross word puzzles. They offer the perfect escape because concentration is re- QuirOd. For this reason they are necessity to Seamen who have spent hours scanning the horizon for per- iscopes.
 The members of the Waterbury Boys Club are canvassing their homes and those of neighbors in search of puzzles. Because the Un- tied Seamens service tells them pI2Tle without a solution is value less. they must also secure the solu- tionS.
 This is a project of the Boys Clubs of America, of which the Wa terbury Boys Club is a member.
 Victory Volunteers and Boys Club members will mark PeaF Harbor Day this year with renewal of their Victory Pledge first taken a year after the war began.
 At this time more than a quarter of a million members of Boys Club throughout the country will VOW to do all in their power to bring clos CT the final day of victory.
 Assembled before the Honor roll bearing the names of 3l4 Waterbury Boys Club members in the service they will renew their pledge for Vic tory. Following this they will make a presentation of funds collected by the boys to purchase a Mobile Can- teen or "Doughnut Wagon" for the American Red Cross.
 The Doughnut Wagon will be giv- en by all the Boys Clubs of Ameri- can for overseas use. It is the gift of the boys over here to their broth CTS and buddies over there. Boys in isolated posts, who in happier days got doughnuts and coffee at the Waterbury Boys Club will now have 8 chance to get them from the Boys Club Doughnut Wagon which will be operated by the Red Cross.
 One year ago on Dec. 7th the Boys Clubs presented the Army with . Jeep purchased with funds collected by Boys Club members. Tn the Waterbury Boys Club these ceremonies will be held on Dec. 7th at p. m. Red Cross Officials, Par ents. Service Men and all others in- terested are invited to attend.

General SOmerveII to Give Principal Address at BOs-
 ton Meeting

Boston, Nov. 2-(SpeciaD ness activity in New England during September rose GA points from the August level to l46.7 per cent of estimated normal, according to the New England Councils preliminary index of general business activity. This compares with 14o3 per cent for August, 194S, and 1878 per cent for September, 1922.
 All components of the index, ex- cept employment and metal tonnage, contributed to the increase in busi- ness activity in September, as com- pared with August. Cotton spindle hours active increased 8.8 per cent; shoe production, 6.6 per cent; and electric power production, one per cent. Industrial employment in Massachusetts declined slig h tly, while metal tonnage receipts were down Is per cent.
 Compared with September, 1943, industrial employment in Massachu- sets, less shoes and textiles, in- creased 222 per cent; and the daily average volume of electric power production increased 123 per cent. Decreases were recorded in the daily average volume of metal tonnage receipts of 42.4 per cent; cotton spindle hours operated, 1892 per cent, and shoe production, 3.5 per cent.
