Smith, gen. eral secretary of the Y. M. c. A., where MT. Barr resided for more than 19 years,
 The diary reveals many inter- esting features of @ man who had become almost legend during his g years in Waterbury. Gratitude is the keynote of the memoir, and many prominent citizens are extolled for various little helps they afforded the writer.
 Particular objects of thanks are members of the staff at the Gen. tral "" as well as residents of the dormitory. who helped MT. Barr during the time of his blind- ness. Special thanks are offered to Mrs. Mary White, matron at the dormitory who, according to the diary, used to help the author write stories on the typewriter when he could not see to adjust the paper or strike the keys. Also to Jimmie" Melon, janitor at the building, for all his kindnesses.
 Members of the Rotary club, to which MT. Barr belonged for 0 number of years, are listed in the memoir for their lavish encour- agement of his work as a writer and lecturer.
 Clergymen of all three major denominations, Protestant, Cath olic, and Jewish, are included in the list of names, indicating the universality of MT. Barr's religious sympathieS. MT. Smith recalled today that the author was a deep- ly religious personality, although he went to church services only occasionally. He called himself @ "free-thinker," but he was toler- ant of all creeds and beliefs, MT. Smith pointed out. MT. Barr, a great exponent of the American Constitution, believed that reli- zion and patriotism had to be linked together.
 Commended in the diary are the following: Harry Post, Dr. T. F. Bevans, Dr. H. E. Allen, Aubrey Greenlaw, Herbert s. Smith, Rev. John Coombs, Dr. John 0. Walk CT, Rt. Rev. Monsignor Joseph Valdambrini, Rev. Eugene Cryne,

|OSER TO ATTEND
 FURNITURE MART
Metropolitan Company to Be Represented at Great
 Display in Chicago

The Metropolitan Furniture Com pany will be represented by its treas urer and general manager, s. Leon Oser at the Winter National Home Furnishings Market at the American Furniture Mart to be held January 4th to 18th in Chicago.
 Tt is to our advantage" said MT. Oser, "to attend the January Mar ket and learn what sort of merchant disc we will find available in 1c43."
 Many substitutions are being made to replace materials which are now on the critical list. Wooden springs, hinges, alternates for kapok and down, and cotton felt mattresses are just few of the new items.
 Tn regard to these alternates, MT. Oser stated, we are anxious to test the durability and comfort of many of the articles and at the same time obtain first hand information so that we will be better qualified to acquaint our customers with the new prot|cts."
 Dealers will also have the op- portunity ot discuss their problems with representatives of the various governmental agencies. They will be able to learn directly what 1943 will bring and how they may be expected to aid in the war effort.
 we are anxious to cooperate with our government in every way possible" said MT. Oser. We know 1t will be impossible to obtain many items which have been plentiful, but we are willing to sell alhcrnates to our customers. We believe, that in some cases they will prove more satisfactory than the materials which were formerly used"
 Tire and Gas RatiOning Affect
 Dealers
 Since the rationing of gasoline and tires, manufacturers salesmen find it difficult to solicit out of town business. The American Fur niture Mart, with SO many manu- lecturers displaying merchandise, makes 1t possible for retailer and manufacturer to meet and discuss consumers needs and to keep the supply line in operation.
 Mart Closed to Public i4
 The Amercian Furniture Mart is open only to dealers and Is closed to the general public. Dealers are admitted only by special admission cards.
