ether day about the players
whose busts we're enshrined at
Cooperstown and the ones who
were merely busts, the thought
arose that probably no other
group has contributed more to
the game than the jumps. And
certainly the place isn't complete
without at least a picture of Bill
KLEIN drawing the line. And a
lot of jumps have had their share
of fame-"King" Gaffney, for in

heard of him, for he worked in
the days when a single umpire
had to call 'em all and keep two

the King. And how about Tom

to satisfy his customers. The money
also would be intriguing Griffith, but
it's no sin to please the patrons and
make money too.
The big complaint with numerous
night games seems to center around
the vague suspicion the fans would
be spoiled, that they never would be
content to return to single day
games after feasting on arc engage
ments. That could be true but it
also may be true that single day
games already have lost their ap-
peal.
BY this time night games are no
novelty here. This is the third sea-
son Washington fans have been
viewing night games at Griffith
Stadium and they've proved popular.
Night games also have doomed at
tendance in other cities and even
in st. Louis, where the populace
can't get steamed up over the
Browns. night games draw consid-
erably larger crowds than single
day games.
Former Foe of Arc lifts
Griffith long ago noted the trend
and has battled vigorously to bring
other owners around to his way of
thinking-that night games no long
er are novelties. that there should
be more of them because the public
wants it that way. He long has
been ready to take the plunge, but
his more conservative colleagues
won't permit it.
Griffith is championing cause he
opposed bitterly several seasons ago
He was the arch-enemy of night
baseball. branding it artificial, a
novelty and anything detrimental he
could think of when reporters were
within shouting distance. Now he's
on the other SIDE of the debate and
having his troubles
1T has to come sooner or later
says Griffith. speaking of his plan
for a solid slate of night games,
and we might as we'll recognize it.
That's when the fans want to see
baseball and it's our job to please
the public
1t may not come in Griffith's day,
but probably not in Grifhths day
either will anybody convince him
he's wrong. He's seen those lights
entice croWGs that would be consid-
cred fantastic for single day games.

Letter of Appreciation Praise Received From Battle
 Zone; Sergt. Merriam Praises Magnificent Work

From 0 fighting front thousands of miles away comes a word oi praise for the food production job that Connecticut's All boys and girls are doing.
 In a letter to A. J. Brundage, State All club leader at the Uni versity of Connecticut, Sergt. Philip w. Merriam, U. s. Marine corps, whose present address Is Care of Postmaster, San Francisco Califor- mia, writes that he learned of the wonderful job the boys and girls of All clubs in Connecticut are doing in recent isue sof the Country Gentleman" "It is a job.' he says which those of us on foreign shores can be proud to take o flour hats to.
 A native of Middletown, and witt, hopes that he will be able to come back to his home farm in Rockfall, Sergt. Merriam said, Tt would please me very much If you would pass on from all of us over here, be 1t soldier, sailor, or marine, the sin- cere thanks for what those boys and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-12

girls have done. It Is a wonderful job ard makes us feel more and more strengthened to finish this bunch of Jugs off once and for all. There is on.y one road home, the one we are on, through Tokyo
 In his reply to Sergt. Merriam, MT. Brundage related some of the outstanding accomplishments of Connecticut All boys and girls as they are summarized for National All Achievement Week from Mo- vember 6 to IA. He told of the Pro- gressive Farmer Boys of the Vest field district in MiddletoWn, in Sergt. Merriams own county, a All club under the leadership of Fred Congdon. The ten boys in the club, only two of whom are over l3 years of age, each started the year with the intention of producing enough food to "feed a fighter" They are completing the year by producing enough fod to feed 47 fighters, through their own projects and long hours of other work on the home farms.
 Another All accomplishment re- lated by MT. Brundage is that Of Charlie Larson, r, of Portland, who with his brother raised a poultry flock of 600 birds this year. In addi- ton to his poultry work, Charlie did about $500 hours of other farm work, or the equivalent of enough labor to feed about l2 fighters.
 In North Coventry, 82 40 boys and girls produced about $6,o0O worth of vegetables. the girls canned 4,373 quarts of vegetables, purchased over 5000 worth of war bonds and stamps, and put in q total of 4433l hours of labor on food production, or an average of $40 hours each.
 MT. Brundage told of Glenna, Lila, and Joan Miller, ages 16, IA and l2 years, respectively, living or poultry farm In North Coventry, whose combined efforts this year were equivalent to the labor needed to produce enough food for g fight CTS, In addition, the three girls purchased $580 worth of war bonds.
 If accomplishments like these are stimulatin to you fellows on the fighting fronts of the world" MT. Brundage replied, they are also good for the youngsters themselves. Through doing Jobs of this nature, they are preparing themselves for the bigger jobs ahead"

Soldiers Of Lieutenant General George Grunert's Eastern Defense Command, stationed in Newfound- lard, Bermuda, the l6 Atlantic sea- board states, and the District of Columbia will settle down Thanks giving noon to a turkey dinner with all the fIxings.
 Besides the holiday dinner. many units will hold special entertain ments arranged with the aid Of local sold!er-welfare groups.
 Although the menus will vary with local supply conditions, turkey will grace all of the mess tables whether at an outpost in New foundland, an antiaircraft battle station in Boston, or a coast artll- lcry fort in Florida. There will be no waste In the Army kitchen, for the Thanksgiving rations have been carefully calculated.
 Troops stationed at Eastern De- fense Command headquarters, Gov crnors Island, New York, will read the following on their souvenir printed menus. fruit cup, roast tur- key with dressing and gravy, cram berry sauce, mashed potatoes, but tered peas, corn, tomato and let tuce salad, crisp celery, assorted pickles, and hot rolls and butter And the troops will finish up with pumpkin pic, apples, grapes, can dies nuts, and coffee. But that wor.'t be all. Jt is also q custom for the soldiers battery, company or troop to buy cigars and cigarettes uot of organization funde.

The lumber of in- migrants decreased 9 per cent, 5o3 requesting statements of availability during September and 393 in Oc- tober The number of out-migrant on the other hand. has not de- creased, but increased.
 Results Disappointing
 For three weeks of the month. the Recruitment campaign was in progress, but the results on the whole were rather disappointing While the campaign was keyed to the need for full time workers, many responding wanted part-time work and the demand for such work and only second and th.rd shifts are available ard the new entrants into the labor market did not want either that type of work or these shifts.
 In connection with stabilzation, on October the Interim Plan be- came the operating plan. The num- Ger of appeals from the decision of the U. s. Employment Service have Increased. This most likely is due to the increase in the period of es- sentiality from thirty to sixty days. The U. s. Employment Service had 33l local cases for review in Sep temner and 373 in October.
 The housing units under construc- tion are progressing satisfactorily and will probably be ready for oc- cuparcy about the end of November Some of the residential units have been converted and some families have already moved into these units.

Controlled hiring, which haS been put into effect in central Con- necticut, has made 1t possible to divert steady stream of workers into critical industries possessing a high priority rating. Employers not appearing on the priority lists, MT. Fitzgerald said, are naturally dis satisfied us the number of workers available to them now is negligible.
 Available Labor
 In general, throughout the State, the tendency has been strongly in the direction of fuller utilization of available labor and strong effort to reduce turnover and absenteeism, and while these objectives are being at least partially attained. there con- tinues to be a critical need for men to fill heavy jobs.
 Sporadic layoffs have occurred, particularly in the Hartford area, but these workers were quickly re- absorbed by other industries.
 A considerable number of vetcr- ans of the present war have already been returned to civilian life and have been quickly placed in essen- tial war production jobs.
 Recruiting campaigns for new workers, particularly In Waterbury, MT. Fitzgerald stated. indicate that no substantial number of new workers can TOW be expected to re- spond to these methods and the principal reliance of industry must now be in the most efficient use of workers who are available.
 During the month of October, de- mand for workers remained high, While employers did not seem so insistent in their demands, a survey of orders listed with the U. s. Em- ployment Service indicated that there was no appreciable lessening in the number of workers needed. The game critical need for heavy mill lAborers was evident.
