More Full Time Workers Needed By Local Industries
SAVINGS BANKS OFFICERS MEET
StreamIined Business Ses- sion Planned for New
 York, May 6-7

Guardians of a large share of the nations savings, officers and trus- tees meeting as members of the Ma. tional Association of Mutual Sav- ings Banks, will gather in New York for a two-day streamlined business meeting, May 6 and 2. This gather. ing, usually one of the biggest bank ing events of the year, will be con- fined strictly to business. The Ex- ecutive Committee decided that the important part of mutual savings banks in the war effort was so great that 1t would not be in the national interest to dispense with the annual exchange of opinion by members of the association.
 Before Pearl Harbor, Devember 2, 1941, mutual savings banks had of- the Treasury full cooperation in helping to further the defense movement. When war came, mutual institutions, operating in 17 states, developed well integrated system of distribution and today have pass ed on to the public $750,000,0O0 of War Savings Bonds. Despite all the demands of 1922, deposits in mutual institutions increased by $13l, 100000 and the banks found means to in- vest s 1-2 times that amount in Government Bonds for their own account.
 The business meeting of May 6 and 2 will be devoted largely to de- Vising measures for further assist. ance in behalf of the Government; also to implant and broaden pres ent educational efforts to encourage permanent saving.

 Fashioned Idea Still Successful

This is the season fer entertain ing and 1t should be just as gay as usual even though 1t will have to be different.
 Of course, the family will have to stay closer to home which means more neighborliness and more cas. ual entertaining. And, when your son in uniform is home or when you borrow some other persons unl- formed boy for weekend, you'll want to be prepared for a constant round of festivities.
 For this type of entertaining we can turn to some of the old-fash- toned doings which are just as much fun today as they ever were There's one in particular which has always been and still is a serious business in certain sections of the country but 1t also Is the basis of many successful party. This is sugaring the sap from the Maple trees and the following recipe was developed from the method used in testing the thickness of the sirup when the maple sap was boiled down in the woods. All you need is plenty of maple syrup and clean snow.
 Maple Sugar On Snow
 Boil maple syrup until a spoonful dropped on snow does not sink and vanish but stays on top forming a waxy candy. Give each person. cup of cooked, hot syrup and a pan of snow. The syrup should be trickled over the snow and the candy which

Commissioner Fenton F. Niver at last nights meeting of the board of public works defended Supt. of Streets Herbert L. Scott-Snith and the city's snow-removal forces against criticisms which were ex. pressed at a recent aldermanic meeting by Republican Leader Bur- ton H. Walker.
 MT. Walkers comment was that he noticed city blow truck was operated on Baldwin street as though the operators were having a joy ride. He reported that at an- other time he observed the truck driver talking to two girls" while the engine of his truck remained idle.
 The defense for supt. Smith was expressed by Public Works Comsr. Fenton F. Niver: T think MT. Scott-Smith and his depart ment are to be congratulated for the manner in which they cleaned up Waterbury's streets after the severe January snowstorm." MT Niver. added that he thought most of the people of Waterbury agreed with him, that the street depart ment outdid itself in keeping prin- cipal thoroughfares open during the storm and blowing side streets as soon as limited personnel and equip- ment would permit.

STATECOLD
 CAUSES 5 DEATHS
4S-HOur Polar Period in New England Costs
 Lives of 26

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 17.-(UP)- The weather bureau predicted a slow rise in temperature today which would bring an end to the bitter cold wave which has gripped Con- necticut since Sunday, causing at least five deaths.
 From an all-time record of "A de- grees below zero Tuesday, the ther- lnometer rose last night to 9 below, and went into plus figures as the day progressed.
 Mrs. Lourinda M. Pickett, 67, East Thompson, was found frozen to death in her home, and Rheinhold H. Juehl, 86, New Haven, died of exposure in his home.
 Albert J. Mitchell, 63, Man chester, died of burns suffered ln a boiler blast at the Oxford Soap Go. plant, which also took another life, A Hartford man died Monday after a frozen coal pile fell on him.
 State Fuel Administrator Wesley A. SturgeS, questioned about the kerosene supply situation, described 1t simply as. terrible" The fuel oil supplies in the state would not last longer than two days, he said,
 Scores of families in the Hartford area offered to share their homes with persons in need of shelter, the Red Gross reported, but not a single applicant appeared to take advan- tage of the hospitality.
 A few persons were housed in three public schools used as com munity shelters during the cold wave.
 New England's near-record cold wave was broken today after being directly or indirectly responsible for at least 26 deaths during @ 48- hour Polar period.
 It will be considerably warmer during the day, the weather bureau forecast, with occasional light snow flurries ending tonight. After that the temperature will drop slightly but probably will not reach last nights official low of 12 degrees above zero.
 Regional OPA Administrator Ken- meth B. Backman said that supplies of fuel oil were "so dangerously low that nothing except the maximum efforts of the oil industry coupled with the unselflsh cooperation of the public will prevent widespread suffering"
 To make already stringent restric- tiorS more forceful, Backman amended his emergency fuel orders by making 1t Q violation of the or- derS for a consumer knowingly or in bad faith to mis-state or misrep- resent the amount of fuel oil he has on hand or the amount of his esti- mated needs. Backman said this was done because trucks and men have been responding needlessly to false emergency calls.
 Scores of fires were reported dur ing the period that saw the tem- perature fall to an official IA de- greeS below zero in Boston and to an unofficial -50 in some isolated sections. Many of them resulted from overheated furnaces. Perhaps the worst was at Augusta, Me, where eight persons died.
 Most communities in the six states reported new cold records.

FARM SPOKESMAN
 DEFIES OPA HEAD
Browns Stand on Higher Wage and Price Demands
 Challenged By Pace
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS United Press Staff Correspondent

OUAGCW EEcSS 0tAAI NUEICSpUAAuCHb
 Washington, Feb. 1T. - (UP) = Price Administrator Prentiss M. Browns promise of "no surrender to demands Tor higher wage rates day with a congressional farm bloc and higher farm prices collided to- charge that the recent 48-hour work week orGsr would increase living costs far above the demands for higher farm prices.
 Rep. Stephen Pace, D.. Ga, a bloc and author of bill that would include all farm labor costs in the computation of parity prices for farm products, said in an interview:
 "The presidents order affects wages paid for processing foods = and that's a far greater part of the grocery bill than the share the farmer gets"
 He referred to the longer work week order under which those cov- cred by the wage-hours act receive overtime at the rate of time and one-half for all hours over 70 each week. Economic Stabilization Direc- tor James F. ByrneS claims that overtime payments are not infla- tionary.
 Brown, in a radio address last night. appealed to the nation not to add countless billions to the total cost of war by shattering the pres- ent relatively stable economy for the sake of a "fanciful and temporary gain"
 We must face squarely the as- saults from those who would inc crease farm prices and those who would break down wage stabiliza- ton policy" Brown said. T do not think 1t is a contest which can be compromised. Fundamentally we must stand by stabilization as 1t now is. If we fail. price control is aOlaa. wage control will ho lost"

to accept O1ferS or employment. A lnouse-to- house canvass by trained tnterviewers brought outstanding results in New Britain.
 Recent governmental notices on essential and noi1-esesntial jobs changed the situation only slightly. Tranfer of workers presented 8 problem in some sectors, but through cooperative measures the tendency to "swap jobs" for higher wages or other reasons was being discouraged.
 The employment of women on a wider scale was viewed as the only solution to the problem. With the armed forces calling up hundreds of men and the supply unusually obtained by importation" methods or migration officials cling strongly to the belief that the eventual ar1- swer to the problem will be found in the willingness of women to &C., cept factory positions on full time, preferably, or for as many hours as possible.
 Waterbury
 Current orders in Waterbury for men and women to fill full time jobs in war industry still exceed available supply. A count of the active file in this office at the end of January showed less people reg. istered than at any time in the past several years. A further andy sis ot the contents of this file in- d!cates that only about l6 r,.rcent fo those registered are fully avail able and can be referred to open- ings without somern special atten. ton. The remaining 84 percent in. cludes physically handicapped, peo- pie of advanced age, and people who limit themselves to certain shifts, type ot work and location of job.
 Employers in the area have rec faxed specifications to a great de- gree but there are still many un-

titled orders for workers without industrial experience.
 New registrations were down in comparison with December although 1t was generally expected that there might be an upsurge of new en- trants to the labor market after the Christmas holidays. Many of those who did register are available only a few hours a week and frequently their free hours do not coincide with shifts set up by employers.
 Placements for the month totaled eO4 of which 720 were factory work CTS placed on war jobs. A majority of 1l3 placements in the commercial and professional field were also made with employers holding war contracts.
 Placement of physically handi- capped workers, which hs been rum ming about 10 percent of total place. ments, increased to 18 percent dur ing the month indicating employers willingness to avail themselves of this very excellent source of labor.
 Bristol
 The intensive campaign to recruit women in the Bristol area has pro- duced some results, but 1t is doubt full at this time if the total num- Der of applicants needed will be ob. tained.
 The operation of a child care cen- ter has helped promote the success of this campaign.
 At least one Bristol concern Is now experimenting with women in jobs formerly held by men and the initial results are satisfactory.
 There has been marked increase in the number of workers seeking part time employment but there k no demand for this type of worker yet.
 TOrrlngtOn
 The Torrington area is faced with the increasingly serious problem oi meeting employer demands from 6 decreasing labor pool. The tempo of the migration of Torringtor workers to nearby cities slackenec during the past month, as transpor' tation facilities in private cars be- came less and less dependable dllt to severe weather conditions. Int demand for women workers remains high, and they represent more thar half of the placements for thu month of January. An attempt il being made to presuade employers to accept more part-tirne workers the physically handicapped ant aliens. As a result the number oi workers placed from these three categories showed Q marked in. crease during the past month. This was especially true when one con- siders that thirty -one physically handicapped persons received erl. ployment in addition to the many aliens who hitherto were not ac- cepted. The Torrington High schoo Victory Corps is serving the war effort well, and now has one hun dred students working on a part time basis on war work.
 The farm situation remains sta- ble in the area, with orders on hand for both married and single dairy workers. Though the situation can not be regarded as critical at this time, the latter part of March may show an upward turn in the need for agricultural workers in this dis trict. %
