the maintenance of the hospitals
functions during wartime. Behind
the lines is our volunteer service
The voluntary service rendered by
the board of directors is the corner
stone on which the hospital stands
or falls. 1t is no longer a case
of what to 90 with the volunteers,
but where to get more"

COKE BECOMES
POPULAR THEME
COca=Cola Co. in Nation
wide Campaign Points
Out Interesting Facts

Bottlers of Coca-Cola are using a
total of 1912 newspapers in 1879 cit
les for new advertising campaign
launched this week, according to Mr..
James @. Adams, Manager, Coca
Cola Bottling Company of Water
bury.
Mr.. Adams emphasized the uni
versal coverage that is provided by
newspapers and stated that more
than 900 Coca Cola bottling plants
throughout the country are repre-
sented in this nationwide use of
this medium of advertising.
1.-THE part played by Coca-Cola in
the daily life of American soldiers
and sailors around the world and
the fact that Coke is the recog-
nized abbreviation only for Coca
Cola, form the theme of this new
program" said Mr.. Adams. "Our
armed forces have found Coca-Cola
being bottled at many points
throughout the Allied Nations. They
look upon Coke as one Of those
little things that remind them of
home"
In pointing out that the new ad-
vertising features Coke, the friend
ly abbreviation of Coca Cola, Mr..
Adams recalled the famous decision
written by the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, of the United
States Supreme Court, to the effect
that Coke" means Coca-Cola.
Following the introduction Of the
campaign in the nations press, the
theme will be featured in magazines,
radio scripts, posters and other
media in an extensive advertising
schedule.

PUBLICITY FAILS
in DIMOUT DRIVE
Public's Attitude Indicates
Necessity OF Action Not
Appeals

While Chief Air Raid Warden
night that approximately 10 per
cent of Waterbury's population Is
not adhering to wartime dimout
regulations, another authoritative
source rebelled that the warden Of
ficialS are not doing anything about
it-implying that all they desire is
to get some publicity in the local
newspapers.
The officials don't seem hep to
their duties until an Army official
gets around with his whip, de-
clared the authority.
Chief Warden Curtin appealed
again to the violators in the inter-
est of the community to comply
with the rules and regulations. Cur
tin made this appeal after he and
his staff had decided that the Army
criticism was valid and warned
| that violatOrS will be prosecuted if
! they continue this action.
Army authorities also pointed out
that recent Investigations of dimout
observance here disclosed violations
by many manufacturing plants as
well as houSeholderS.
1t was Mr.. Curtin's contention
| that extreme heat was instrumental
in guiding the violators, however, he
insisted that windows and doors be
shaded in compliance with rules re-
! Gently revised to compromise for the
warm weather conditions.
Approximately 90 per cent of the
population is complying with the
regulations. He said that the viola
tions are mainly due to carelessness
and can be quickly stopped
/ Army officials declared that it is
important to keep the large, cen
trally located cities dimmed so that
ships at sea would not be sill
houetted against shore glow. The
rules are made to help the vesse
get through the surreptitious Naz
U-boats.
Mr.. Curtin reminded the public
that the doors may be left open or

negroes, and if they measure up
to the requirements of the board,
they will be appointed to the force
1t recommended to the Better Race
Relations committee that it have
more applications filed by negroes,
since there are at present applica
tons from only three, two Of whom
are ineligible because of age or
physical condition. The police
boards committee, consisting Of
Chairman William Verriker. william
r. Bannon, and Wendell L. Cross
received the following memorandum
at the meeting:
Waterbury, Conn.
July 7, 1943
To the Police Commissioners Of
Waterbury, Conn.-Concerning the
appointment of Negro Policemen
/. A Negro understands condi-
tions. He is able to distinguish at
once different types of communitJ
residents.
2. Though we are all Americans,
the Negro officer represents his
race. The white officer represents
various racial nationalities,- Irish,
Italian, etc.
3. Being Police Officer is mark
of honor and distinction in citizen
ship. Having Negro officers helps
to build in the youth of both races
respect for authority, regardless of
race. To Negro youth, it contributes
prestige and morale.
4. The war situation is bringing
about new emergencies, when groups
Of people crowd together. The pres
ence of representatives of both rae
es in positions of authority, such as
police officers, would command the
respect of all, if disorders should
arise.
5. An element from sections of the
country where racial determinations
are practiced is in Waterbury, due
to war work. Some of these people
resent democratic practices. But
democracy demands representation
by all races.
Seeing Negro officer inspires re-
spect. 1t indicates that Waterbury
citizens have confidence in him as
citizen, and as a representative
who maintains law and order.
6. Many fine thinking people of
both races want to see the appoint
ment of Negro officers.
We believe that the appointment
of Negro officer-personnel will en-
body the practice of American DEM
ocracy.
We further urge that such offic-
ers he carefully chosen, on basis of
character and ability.
We hope this honorable body Of
Police Commissioners will see fit to
agree with us, and will take this for
ward step.
