Pay Roll Savings Plan Meeting With Great Success Here
Liberty Ship Bond
Drive Hits 500, 400.
Committee Hopes to Reach 100000 Goal By Labor
Day; French Units to Use Victory House Again

AS the first "Victory House" day
held on August 5th for the Liberty
Ship War Bond drive brought such
excellent results, the local Franco
American organizations have decid-
ed to use Victory House on the
Green again on Thursday to facili-
tate the purchase of war bonds and
enable all patriotic citizens to secure
their bonds without delay. At the
close of the August 5th drive, the
sales had reached total of $4,000
and since that time, the people of
Waterbury have shown their coop
Grafton by more than doubling this
amount so that the total now stands
at $69,409. From the response re-
ceived to date, the committee in
charge is quite sure that their goal
of 100000, will be reached before
Labor Day.
On August 18th, the sales
throughout the New England States
passed the four million dollar line
which is the cost price of two Lib
erty (cargo) ships. However, it is
the aim of the Franco American
organizations, headed by the Societe
Jacques Cartier, the Association
Canados- Americans and l'Union
st. Jean Baptiste d'Amerique to buy
three Liberty Ships which will be
named for well-knoWn Franco
Americans. This means a goal of
six million dollars. Whereas bombers
are named for states, counties or
cities, the Liberty Ships are named
only for deceased iberators, heroes,
pioneers, educators, statesmen, in
ventors and others-men and wom-

BvFish-Men

Boston, Aug. Is - (U.P) - Some
80 Boston fishermen have issued a
strike ultimatum in an effort to
raise OPA price ceilings governing
the $4,000, 900 industry.
Coinciding with the action taken
last week by 700 New Bedford
fishermen, the Boston members OF
the Atlantic Fishermen's Union
(AFL voted last night to take a
strike vote within 80 days unless the
OPA acts on their petition for a
price adjustment.
At a meeting the men voted to
inform the National War Labor
Board, the National Labor Relations
Board and the Department of Labor
that a labor dispute exists among
fishermen, boat owners, buyers and
the OPA.
Spokesman said that the union
might also begin a court battle to
test the legality of the OPA's right
to set ceiling prices that reputedly
result in wage reduction for fish
ermen.
Union members contend that the
recently established price ceilings
have resulted in wage cuts ranging
as high as 40 per cent.

A strong likelihood Of single men
between the ages of 10 and SO re-
naming in war plants, even as
fathers within this age group are
being reclassified in la to become
available for immediate military
service, was expressed by John F.
Robinson, state director of the Sc
lective Service System.
Mr.. Robinson stated this POSSIBLE
ity may be brought on because of
the hesitancy of fathers obtaining
employment in essential war plants
in Connecticuts critical areas, and
the consequent lack of manpoWer in
these critical areas to replace the
single men employed in the plants.
The state director said that Con-
necticut leads New England in criti-
cal shortage areas classed in Group
bridgeport, Hartford, New Brit
ain, Bristol, observation-disclosures
Maine lists only Portland; Massa-
chusetts lists only New Bedford;
while New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and Vermont doc not list any cities in
the critical No. / Group.
The No. 2 critical areas in Con-
necticut are Meriden, Middletown,
New Haven, New London, Groton
and Stamford.
mo longer does the War Man
power Commission or the Selective
Srevice System take into considera-
ton a registrant's dependencies as a
basis for deferment," Mr.. Robinson
said. Rather" he d eclared, "a
registrant's occupation in the pro-
duction of vital materials Is given
prior consideration"
Married men with children and
even women must find employment
in our essential war plants immedi-
ately because of the irreplacability
of singfile men and childless mar
ried men employed in plants listed
in Group and 2.
There are many who are quick
to criticize local boards and the Sc
lective Service System in general be-
caus eof the fact that some single
men seemingly available for military
service are still employed in our
war plants, while plans are going
forth for the Redistribution and
drafting of fathers.
I'm some instances the single per-
sons hold only minor jobs. With
the scarcity of requirements, how
ever, it is essential that these men
remain at their work in order to
