the flames and to save other prop
erty.

 More bitter still, apparently, were the spectators, mostly feminine, who have filled every available seat in the small courtroom, and mobhed Flynn at each recess. They de- manded autographs, shouted their good wishes and showed, just for the privilege of touching him. They were monifestly disappointed at the interruption of testimony, mostly of the kind no newspaper would print concerning high life in Hollywood.
 Miss Hansen a movie struck school girl from Nebraska who came to Hollywood and wound up as a waitress at drug store lunch coun- ter, charged Flynn with giving her a greenish cocktail at dinner party and taking her upstairs to a bed room, She had almost finished heI story when the prosecution called for rniStrial.

FOUR TONS OF TIN COLLECTED HERE
City Trucks Spend HaIf- Day Picking Up Latest
 Donations

Four tons of tin cans were col- lected in the salvage collection in the southern section of the city Sat- lirday, despite the fact that only half a day could be devoted to the canvass. Street department trucks, which had been scheduled to collect cans all day long, had to spend the morning hours sanding icy streets
 The amount collected was about the same as in two previous cam vases of streets south of East and West Main streets.
 Waterbury ranks third in tin can salvage in the state, says a report from the state office of the Office of War Information. However, this city has remained steadily behind its quota.
 Salvage Chairman J. Warren Up- son says that collectoins will drop sharply when food rationing goes into effect unless more housewives cooperate with the campaign by saving tin cans.

ly depleted. one large concern is recruiting women through the local office to be trained at the Water bury Defense Training Center on machine operations, the pay dur ing this training being at the same rate as that paid for on.the job- training at the plant.
 The lack of avialible housing pre- vents recruitment of workers, par- ticularly those with families from outside the area. While local re- cruitment effects have met with some success, the number of people applying is not sufficient to make an appreciable dent in the total demand.
 About 25O more persons were laid off by one local concern during De- cember making total of about 500 in the past two months. This ap- pears to be the extent of the lay of in accordance with the present production schedules. Many of these persons were absorbed in other local plants but apparently a num- Der of these persons decided to wait until after the end of the year before applying for new jobs.
 A campaign Is under way de- sized to show local workers the advantage of working in their home town and to interest unemployed women in taking jobs in war indus- tries. It is too early to determine the results of this campaign but 1t has so far brought quite a few new applicants to the local employment office.
 TOrrlngtOn
 The Torrington area labor market Is rapidly being depleted as em- ployers draw from 1t for the re- placement of workers who continue to migrate to nearby cities. Orders indicate that local factories are turing more and more to women and as Q result they comprised 60% of the placements for the past month. The reservoir of female labor, which was relatively ample ur until recently, has nearly reached the point of exhaustion. It now be- comes apparent that new incentives will have to be devised to draw women into industrial work where they are needed.
 There is still Q demand for farm workers in. the area, but @ recent survey conducted revealed that the situation in Litchfleld County can no longer be regarded as critical Orders for both single and married farmhands have dropped to one- half of what they were a month ago It is possible that recent War Man power Commission directives might have had a great deal to do with the correction of what was former ly a critical labor shortage condi- ton. .t
