excellent example of good team
work and diligent practice on
the part of the cast, able and
detailed instruction by their
director, and the finest cooper
alton and untiring effort on the
part of the production staff. The
whole class unselfishly devoted
their time and talents to max
ing their play a success and
these efofrts were richly reward
ed in the smooth-running man
ner in which the entire program
was presented. Congratulations
to all who so literally contrib

another feather to their hat OF
fine accomplishments!

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In de-
w scribing one of the big air
battles over Guadalcanal a recent
newspaper account tells of an Amer
lean flyer who parachuted from his
crippled plane to the waters of
Lunga Bay. The Navy craft which
picked him up next went to the res
cue of a Japanese pilot cen strug-
Cling in the water nearby. AS the
rescue boat reached the Japanese
flyer he suddenly pulled out his re-
volver, aimed it at the drenched
American pilot and pulled the trig-
ger. The cartridge failed to explode.
Then the Japanese officer turned the
gun on himself with suicidal intent.
Again he pulled the trigger and
again his revolver failed him. At
this point an American sailor
knocked him out with a boat hook
and pulled him aboard the Ameri-
a craft a prisoner.
Almost daily one reads eye-wit-
less stories such as this one, and all
of them clearly demonstrate that
war with enemy in the Pacific
cannot end in compromise.
For ten years I lived in Japan.
The truth as l know it from close
observation is this: Nothing less
than the exertion of our maximum
capacities, individually and collec-
lively, in a war of offense will bring
our beloved country safely to the
longed-for haven of victorious peace.
The Japanese are pawns of a
senseless but mighty militarism-

When the time draws near

Yes. there are several blondes
in the senior class Of Hardin
high. and as you know. they live
up to their reputation Of being
particularly attractive to the
members Of the opposite sex, or
the males. This girl has her

is a past worthy advisor of the

That jolly old man In the
senior play was none other than
one of our favorite blondes
baShful Adam Seader. We have
not seen much of Adam lately
because he has been helping
with the planting and seeding
of farm crops. Adams tavorlte
song is That Old Black Magic,
and dancing rates first as a
pastime. AS a rule, we see him
riding in a light green coupe,
but, If my eyes are still holding
up, I think he has been driving
a new black coupe and is it a
pip! Adam has a lot of talent
and is we'll known for his &C

LOCAL MERCHANTS
 GIVEN CITATION
Showing Here in Recent War Bond Campaign Best
 in Connecticut

Tn a letter to Murray Grossman, chairman of the local retailers di- vision, Frank L. CashmaI1, directoh of the retail stores division of the state war finance committee con- graduated the local group for their "splendid'' efforts in attaining an average of 15O per cent oh their million dollar quota in the Third War Loan drive conducted here last month.
 "As we post the final results for retailers in the Third War Loan drive, it becomes increasingly ap- parent what Q tremendous job the Waterbury retailers accomplished, wrote Mir. Casliman. Waterbury scored the highest percentatge over it's quota Of any town in the state.
 Retailers throughout the state re- ported sales in excess of i3 million dollars of which more than 10 mil- lion was in series F purchases. This was a tremendously important con- trlbution Co the drive, Mr. Cashman said, and represents approximate ly 25 per cent of the total series 2 bonds sold in the state.
 Mr. 0rossman's division it will bl remembered was one of the rrst oi the local campaigners % attain their quota and subsequently, forge ahead to greater efforts exceeding lia quota by @ per cent.

responsible for the sugar problem and five agencies created to handle the need for day nurseries for the children of working mo- thers are cited by Willkie as illus trations of bad management.
 The titular head of the Repub- ncan party says the country wants a president who-"eschew- ing petty occupations and the lure of little powers-would stand forth to speak and act not from his heart to the people but for the people out of what Is in their hearts" Instead, Willkie says. the Presidents desk is cluttered and his mind distracted "by his con- cern with the wheels within wheels, the foremen and the sub- foremen of our gigantic federal machine. He is his own supervisor and trouble-shooters. Broken parts are brought to him for patching and he undertakes to patch them. Bruised feelings are brought for his treatment and he sets about aanointing them. No man could do all these things well. No President should try"

Timur, Mythical Boy Hero of Russia,
 Leads Juvenile HordeS In War Exploits
YOUNGSTERS TRICKS AT SABOTAGE AND AMBUSH FRAY NAZIS' NERVES;
 GANGS SERVE oN HOME FRONT, TOO
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New York, Oct. 25.--If you lived alone in Russia today you wouldn't be surprised, on coming home from your war plant, job to find the breakfast dishes washed, fire in the stove and food on the table.
 You'd just smile gratefully and say, 'Timur and his gang have been here again."
 But if you were a member of a German scouting party in a guerrilla -infested forest, you'd shiver apprehensively at every bird call. For that. too, migrt be Tinur and his gang, signaling your ap- proach.
 It all began in 1889 with the pulp lication of book by Arkady Gaidar about 1S-year-o!d boy named Timur. who inspired a group of Moscow youngsters to adopt" the families of Red Army men. The gang surrounded its activities with mysterious signals, codes and hide outs.
 The book became a best-seller and Timur a juvenile hero. With the outbreak of war, thousands of such gangs sprang into real and vigorous existence. They are a po- tent and cheering force in Russia's s war effort.
 FEARED BY ENEMY
 Behind the lines, they serve in many helpful ways. But in front of the lines, in guerrilla country, their Gremlinish ingenuity has full play. They have so plagued the enemy that Nazi Field Mar shal Won Kluge, in a special or- der-of- f-the-day, warned his off cers against them.
 Particular vigilance should be exercised with regard to little boys," cautioned the general. "They snoop everywhere. Any of them caught on a railway line is to be shot on the spot.'
 To the Timurites, such threats from the enemy are almost as good as citations from the Soviet. The
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-25

Connecticut is the number one state in the Union in the per capita purchase of series "E" War Bonds, Colonel Thomas Hewes of the Con- necticut War Finance committee, announced this noon at the Hotel Bond at @ ceremony when citations were presented to members of the Connecticut State Association of Life Underwriters for their work in experimenting the payroll savings campaign for the purchase of War Bonds. Thirty-two leaders in their respective communities, including 24 life underwriters were present to re- ceive the Treasury Department cita- tion from Colonel Hewes. Those who received citations for their distin. guished service rendered on behalf of the War Finance program were:
 William V. Hawkes. of Waterbury; Messrs. Robert J. Olsen and O.. Arthur Gisselbrecht of Torrington.
 In expressing his thanks to the underwriters, who are serving as commissioned Treasury representa- tives and who have enlisted for the duration in the continual promo ton of the Payroll Savings Plan, Colonel Hewes said that of the HE firms in Connecticut with 50 or more

bury the tools in the ground or the snow. In one such case Q whole German Hnechanized company had to flee on foot from Q Russian at- tack.
 TURNED BOMBS ON NAZIS
 Timurites are said to have hung up an impressive record of de:ailed Na1 trains, enemy forces ambush ed and dangerous message missions carried out.
 Near one village, the enemy had been using rocket pistols to signal to their aviation the location of im- portant objectives in the Russian lines a few hundred yards ahead. A boy got hold of the pistols and hid himself Q corresponding dis tance behind @ Nazi gun battery. When the enemy dive bombers came over, he signaled for an attack, and the planes bombed their own artil- lery.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-25

New York, Oct. 25 - We would lose the war if our leadership on the battlefronts were as confused as our leadership at home, de- clares Wendell L. Willkie in a stern warning to President RooSe- welt. Placing responsibility square ly up to the President, MT. WILL kie added that unless there is a change in White House tactics, the war is sure to be prolonged and we may lose the peace. Mis- management prevails throughout the government, Willkie charges, because the President is zealous for the accumulation of power and loathe to disburse it."
 Writing in the November Read CTS Digest, Willkie declares: There is only one person who can correct this government mis- management. That person is the President himself. Of all that is wrong with the Presidents ad- minisrrators, there is nothing that better administration by thePres- ident could not remedy"
 Willkie charges that the RooSe- welt administration has not only unnecessarily mulGiplieo the num- per of its agencies but has failed in the task of coordinating them.
 The 1940 Republican candidate for president says that in any good organization the number of men who report directly and con- stantly to the chief executive should be limited. They should be as few aS. possible; their responsi- bilities should be clearly denned; and their authority should flow in direct lines. The good manager does not give two men the same job or overlapping parts of the same job. These simple rules, Willkie declares. are violated in Washington every hour of every day, and oftener than not, indi- viduals who try to use initiative are slapped down. Willkie says government agencies become juIn- nles of hesitancy. confusion and wirepulling because nobody Is sure of anybodys status.

beyond their years. They perform hazardous jobs, such as fire-fighting and the collection of abandoned war material-and are reported to be amazingly shrewd about avoiding booby traps. They also help with strenuous tasks such as building air raid shelters and barricades, hand- ling scrap lneteal and working on farms. In line with the original pur- pose of Timur and his gang, they help the families of mobilized men and war workers by running er- rands, cleaning house and mind- ing babies.
 Many of them have learned to handle arms, and how to toss 8 wrench into German mechanized equipment. A favorite sport of young guerrillas is to drain the fuel from enemy trucks and to loosen a few vital bolts, and then

WASTE PAPER HAS
 MANY VITAL USES
DwindIing Supplies Threat to Output of Mills; Public
 Urged to Cooperate

Short of fuel, a U. s. war plane stops at an African airport and is refueled from tin cans packed in cardboard containers.
 U. s. Marines splash ashore on a tropical island. their ammunition and rations packaged in waterproof paper boxes.
 These are two instances of how waste paper goes to war on Amer ica's fighting fronts. Hot or cold, wet or dry, essentials go along, neatly parceled for easy handling as we'll as protection.
 But, paper mills are faced with a serious shortage, having a bare supply of raw waste on hand for manufacture of cartons vitally needed for war effort. Some plants throughout the country actually have shut down due to the lack of material, while others are faced with curtailments in the immediate future unless the situation is rem edied.
 Apart from shells. rations and gasoline, other commodities shipped in paper board boxes are: Red Cross prisoner of war packages; bombs blood plasma: assembly line parts dehydrated foods and plastic plane noses for bombers.
 Importance of paper containers now ranks almost alongside of tin and steel. Tn World War I shells were packed in wood and metal but now cardboard is in common use - proving nor efiicient. and . great deal lighter.
