COUNTRY CLUB
CLOSES DOORS
ReOpening Early in March
Anticipated; Fuel Con-
SerVatiOr1 Reason

The Waterbury Country club will
be closed from now until late in
March to conserve fuel and gasoline,
1t was announced today by w. r.
Gilman, president. The closing has
been anticipated since all events on
the winter program were cancelled
because Of the pleasure-driving ban.
The building is heated by COM
bination coal and oil burner, but
coal has been used exclusively since
December, Mr.. Gilman said. An
ample fuel supply is left over from
last year, and coal deliveries have
been made regularly, the president
stated. Oil was used In the kitchen
for cooking.
This is the Arst time the club has
been closed down since the present
building was erected in 1928, al
though last year the dining room
was open only for parties. Staff
Of the club, including chef and
steward, win be retained for main
tenance Of services. and it is planned
to conduct repairs during the of
season.
Club officials are hopeful that the
driving ban will be lifted in the
spring, but If not. some means OF
transportation from bus line to club
will be provided. The outdoor ex-
ercise, provided by the clubs facil-
tiles, is necessary for good health
during our war effort. Mr.. Gilman
concluded.
