Although Savings and Loan As- sociations have operated for more than a century in America, the chartering and supervision of Credit Unions by the Federal Gov ernment has just passed its first decade.
 When Congress passed the Credit Union Act in 1884. providing therein for the organization regu- lation and examination of the ac- counts of Federal Credit Unions, few could have anticipated the splendid development and rapid growth which these institutions were to experience and their worthwhile service to their com munities.
 In a period of such swift change and far-reaching disturbance as one sees in the world today, it is heartening to know that many of the traditional safeguards, never theless stand out stoutly against the tides of destruction.
 Important among them is that enormous stabilizing force of the massed savings of millions of per sons of ordinary means. The recu- perative power of country is great beyond calculation when the habit of saving is so deeply in grained as it is in our people. The very magnitude and univer- sal ownership of our accumulated savings, provide, indeed, the strongest assurance to those who may wonder whether thrift can supply the same returns now that 1t offered in other days, in achiev- ing personal independence or the security of a dependent family.
 In these bewildering days of sacricifice and restraint, and in our daily reflections of what may come next, might it not be well to keep in mind that somewhere, per- haps buried deeply, is compen- sating factor for our faith and steadfastness? While luxurious necessities and many of the in viting gadgets are not now avail able to us, we do have the privilege of investing In War Bonds and we still have available safe depositor- ies for our savings.
 Many who have learned how easy 1t is to save are going to cling to that habit when we return to normal times. and many of them, who for the first time in their Hives now have homes or subStan- tial savings of their own, are go- ing to cling tightly to their pos sessions.
 We are proud to report that recent comparison of figures of

 Robert Van Epps, who has been. with the plate shop boys a short time, has left for New Haven to join the U. s. Merchant Marine. John E. Bean, who also has been with the plate shop gang a short time, has joined the Navy.
 "Dodo,' one of our crane triggers, has left the old gang and has re- turned to high school.
 The boys of the plate shop would like to know what Walter Malin- owski is going to do with all his prize money won in the last few days; he says a vacation is in or der.
 Rumor has it that Wick is enjoy ing a great deal of beer noontimeS; the boys would like to know how he does it. Wick states he spends his money, but the boys say he doesn't. Who is right, Wick?
 Vic Rose, who has been on the sick list the last few weeks, has re- turned to work somewhat im- proved in health.
 An early frost has made it's call; now victory gardeners will need to guard against damage of their tender crops. Little can be done to save late sweet corn or snap beans; other tender vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, even egg plant may be saved by short time storage in cool cellar; to- matoes, even though they are still green, will ripen gradually if kept at room temperature-6O to 30 degrees-provided the fruits are sound and free from large growth cracks or other damage. Squash and pumpkins are best harvested and put in storage before the first killing frost; if they are kept in dry cool room or a frost proof at- tic, they should keep at least until January.
 It is hard to tell just when the first killing frost will strike; how ever, the gardener usually gets fair warning. AS a rule the first frost does little harm; it singes the leaves of the tender plants, but leaves the fruit untouched. Once the leaf cover is gone, the garden CT should lose no time in harvest ing his tender crops, or the next frost will get them.
 Cards have been received from Joseph Latta who is spending his vacation in Washington, D. c.
 Congratulations are in order for MT. and Mrs. Marchella Montesi of New London on the arrival of 2 lb daughter. The boys of the plate shop would like to know how the brand new daddy feels, and their best to the brave and sweet little ulOLACA.
 The boys are enjoying the cigars on Montesi, with many thanks.
 The plate shop boys held another clam bake at Long Hill Park, and they sure did enjoy themselves. The main event was the 16 piece ,, band which gave out with short parade. with Mike Brucoli as band master. He put his boys through their paces, s1d he was well ap- plauded for his armament. The committee in charge of ar engagements was: Michael J. Camp agna, Red Holland, Jim Saunders, Pop Dawley and Cliff Gauthier. Charles Bijork has returned to his duties somewhat improved in health from a few days illness

AUSTRALIANS WAR ROLE

= Present Allied global strategy commits
: Australia to long holding" war against
Japan, says Prime Minister John Curtin,
who says there is no other course for pow
erS-such as China and Australia to follow
butto play their full part in the role assign
ed to them.
Is The Australians, by virtue of their
declaration of war against Germany, are
vitality concerned with the defeat of the
AXIS in Europe. Should Germany manage
to defeat the British it is questionable how
long Australia would be able to flourish as
an independent nation regardless of the
Japanese threat

ONLY 2 OF 1900 WOUNDED DIE

Only seven of 1000 land, sea and ali
casualties treated in the South Pacific and
Australia had fatal results, according to
information revealed by the Nays Bureau
of Medicine and Surgery.
This is amazing When we consider
that many of the men were badly wounded
it is almost miraculous that only seven died.
1t is an astounding testimonial of the care
given our fighting men and the advances
made by medical men in their fight against
battle wounds.
The report came from group of medi-
cal officers on hospital ship operating in
the Solomons war zone. 1t was based upon
treatment of men injured by machine gun
and rifle bullets, shell fragments, severe
burns skull fractures, penetrations of the
q 8est and abdomen and infections
on Speedy removal of the wounded from
BATTLE areas and excellent medical care, in
Gliding the use of sulfa drugs, explain the
results.
AS an example of the recovery of men
wounded the author says that patient
with through and through wound on the
leg or thigh was usually able to be up and
walking four or five days from the time OF
injury and the wounds were healed in a
/ week or ten days

TIME TO COMPLAIN is NOW

The good citizen is not he who COM
plains about this or that law infraction, or
some questionable action that has been
taken by public officials, and fails to exer-
else his right and privilege when he is af-
forded an opportunity to exercise it. Con-
filming himself to rocking denuncia-

himself in civic matters, strives to attain
goals that are promotive of the interest Of
