New York.-When Uncle Sam de- cided that one way to avoid clothes rationing was to cut down on the yardage used, he had no idea the ruling would bring about the bright est outlook in fall dress fashions in many a harvest moon.
 To offset the stark simplicity of the government-decree body basic silhouette, designers have made their new collections in colors to rival the brilliancy of Fourth of July fire works display. And the rich surface trimming featured for fall makes the half-yard fabric allowance for bows, peplums, ruffles and other embellishments more than adequate.
 The first choice of early bird buy CTS of New York creations seems to be frocks featured in fine wool jer- sey, crepe and satin or crepe and velvet combinations, and striped wools with soft, ruffled necklines and

Der of workers who gave their reason
for quitting their jobs as leaving the
state.
According to reports of the Hart
ford County Manufacturers Asso-
citation, a total of 9,263 persons
quit work in July and August. More
than 300 of these reported that
they were leaving the state. In the
same period l,757 employees joined
the services.
How many of these actually quit
the state, how many actually reported
to their home states for war work,
and how many other workers who
reported other reasons for leaving
their jobs took jobs in their native
states are anybody's guesses. What is
definitely known is that munition
plants have been set up in the home
communities of many out-of-state
workers in Hartford County, and that

Setting the pace for Capital

the Hartford Central Labor Union
at it's last meeting authorized the
purchase of a $500 War Savings

it was the fourth such bond the

Sen William A. Scott, president of

Men Who Lead Labor:

Organized labor in Connecticut
can feel that Pres. Timothy Nj. Col
Inns is a man fitted by ability and
experience to fill the position to
which delegates of the 58th con
ventiOn of the Conn. Federation OF
Labor have just elected him.
Collins has youth, with its en-
ergy and self-assurance, a good per
sOnality, the ability to think on his
feet, to express himself fluently
and to analyze and solve labor
problems.
With organized labor coming
into its own as an important factor
in community and national life, the
presidency of the GIL. has become
most significant position. With
labor being called to sit on inn
pOrtant boards and participate in
the work of civic and state COM
mittees and in the war program,
it is necessary that the president
of the Federation be a capable and
outstanding representative of the
organized workers on the more i'm
pOrtant boards on which he has
been and will be called to serve.
Those who know Tim Collins,
through association with him as a
vice-president of the Federation for
the last two years, as secretary
treasurer of Local 677, Waterbury
Teamsters, and of Joint-COuncil 81,
|
president of the State Federation
of Labor will fill this new role
with distinction.
YOUTHFUL PRESIDENT
At 81, Collins is one of the
youngest men to be selected for
the presidency of the Federation.
He is a successor to long line of
outstanding labor leaders who have
held that position. Some of the re-
cent past presidents include James
]. Clerkin, New Britain, Building
Laborers, a typographical worker
by trade; Tom Shea, Middletown,
theatrical Workers; Nicholas DAM,
New London, Musicians; and Ar
thur Wallace, Greenwich Carpen-
tiers Union.
Collins ascendency to the head
of the GIL. marks the first time
a member of the Transfers Union
has held that position. 1t is also
indicative of the strong and inn
portant role the Transfers are play
ing i'm the Federation and i'm the
support of its policies. The organi-
cation of Joint-Council o., of
which Collins is secretary-treasurer,
has strengthened and united all
teamster locals i'm the state.
FOR LABOR UNITY
Collins is a strong believer i'm
unity of purpose for labor and of
IabOr's cooperation with manage
ment to produce the best results
in their joint endeavOr. Organized
labor, aware of its responsibilities
as well as its collective strength and
bargaining power, is, he feels, the
most powerful asset of any business
enterprise.
