UNION COUNCIL
 RESUMES WORK
Joseph P. Kenishea Re- elected President at Re-
 organization Meeting

The Greater Waterbury Industrial Union Council (CI.O.) reorganized last night, in Waterbury, for the first time since suspension of the council on March 3i, as result of the factional dispute between District 6 and the International unions of the Mine, Mill and Srnelter Workers.
 The meeting was comprised of representatives of five local brass and rubber union locals and resulted in the reelection to presidency of Joseph P. Kenishea of Nauagtuck.
 The council which will embrace all CI.O. locals in the Waterbury Naugatuck area has a potential en- rollment of 25,000 workers. Its gen. eral program, according to the orig inal principles set up in its charter, calls for the advancement of union- ism, the promotion of favorable in- dustrial and social legislation and an increased understanding, on the part of the public, as to the meaning of unions.
 Other officers elected at last nights meeting were: Renato Ric- ciuti, Bronis Vaiciulis, M. M. and s. w., local 251, secretary-treasurer; Oland Thompson, Local 251, record- ing secretary; and Renato Ricciuti, Joseph Nardella, both of the M. M. and s. W. and Edson L. Brown, U. s. Rubber workers Local 190, trustees.

 Final computations on federal in- come and excess taxes equaled a total of $3,452, 9S2 an increase ap- proXimating $s50,000., over last years like federal indebtedness. Such expenditure resulted in an in- crease approximating s2 cents

Poor Taxi Service
 Saves Woman's Life

Tho wartime scarcity of taxi cabs. which has already been a subject for kind words, probably is responsible for young woman being alive today.
 The woman, who attempted sui- eide on East Main St., Friday night, explained she had dissolv- cd some bichloride of mercury in Q coca cola and called for a taxi to take her to some deserted spot.
 She was told that she woudl have one in 30 minutes. After wait ing an hour, she drank the poison at an East Main street restaurant and collapsed, and when the poi- son took effect, instead of being left to die in some lonely spit, she was rushed to St. Mary's hospital by a pair of alert patrolen, John Shea and William O'Dea.
 There expert medical care and kindly attention brought her from the point of death to t'le point where she was able to exchange quips with reporters this morning.
 She said she had planned talk ing her life for some time. She spent almost all the money she had, then went to New York city where she spent two days and two nights walking around Times Square without sleeping, trying to work up the nerve. she said, to take her life. Finally she got on a bus and found 1t was going to Waterbury.
 She still refuses to reveal her identity or anything about her. self, except that she used to work as e waitress, and is not married.

Output Record
Editor War Produc ton News Page:

Editor War Production News Page:
We believe that the splendid
work Of the men in the open hearth
unit OF the Ford Motor Company
in putting out record breaking
steel tonnage for March deserves
public recognition.
All records in the history of
the company were smashed WREN
last months output topped that Of
March, 1871, by several thousand
tons.
We feel that this achievement
resulted from splendid work OF the
UAW-CIO production committee
of the unit working in cooperation
with the building supervision. To-
gether they brought about elimi-
nation OF many of the bottlenecks
and delays which were holding
down production.
Since Pearl Harbor. steel output
has been boosted month by month.
A splendid example has been
set for thousands of other plants
throughout the country bY this
all-out effort and cooperative
spirit which enabled the Ford
Motor Co. TO turn out the greatest
tonnage of steel it has ever pro-
duced.

MEET The garden "toughie"!

MEET the garden "toughie'!
IW One of the old standby garden crops
and a likabe sort of vegetable is the
parsnip. This vegetable is the garden
"toughie" because 1t will withstand severe
freezing weather and not be injured. In
fact, oldtimers tell us that good edible
parsnips must have a nice heavy frost or
freeze on them before they are really good
to eat
Parsnips should be sown directly in
the field about May / to -, and in SUCH
a location in the garden they can remain
there indefinitely. They are a long season
crop demanding about 120 days from seed
ing until harvest. Several gardeners have
complained about parsnip seed not germi-
mating well. This may be the case, but
often it is the fault of the gardener.
Parsnips are slow in terminating,
requiring about two weeks to show up.
few radish seeds planted Internationally
along the row with parsnips will pop up
TO mark the row so that continued cult
walton can be practiced without hoeing up
the main crop Of parsnips instead Of the
grass and weeds.
Parsnip seeds should be sown about
inch deep in rows ~ 10 "A inches apart.
Thin the plants 70 stand 20 3 inches
apart in the row. Pafsnips arc edible only
in the late fall after they are fully mature.
This garden crop is easily overwIntered
