There are times in our lives when gaiety is cast aside and life takes on a more somber aspect as we pause, remembering a friend, and extend our deepest sympathy to the loved ones whom he leaves behind.
 have in mind two men, Nor man D. Anson, office manager of the Groton Shipbuilders' Federal Credit Union, who died very sud- denly of a heart attack on Octo- Der 18th and whose death came as great shock to his many friends.
 By nature friendly, accommo- dating, possessed of a most desir- able personality, MT. Anson was we'll liked by all who came in con- tact with him, and we convey our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Mrs. Ruth F. Anson, and his two daughters, the Misses Muriel and Lois Anson. You have lost hus- band and a father and we at E. B. have truly lost friend.
 We also wish to extend our sym pathy to another E. B. employee, William Spader, whose fathers tragic death saddened a commun- ity who knew and loved him.
 Possessed of a quiet, unassum- ing, but friendly nature, William Spader had host of friends who join me in extending deepest sym pathy to his son, William Spader. Bill to us, and to the other mem bers of his family.
 To the Anson and the Spader families, may the peace which comes from understanding and the sincerity of a friends thoughts. sustain and comfort you through the days to come.
