GREAT INCREASE
IN AIRMAIL HERE
General Postal Receipts
for Past Year Greatest
in History

Postal receipts and mail cancel
lations here reach an all time high
during the fiscal year ending June
30, Postmaster Charles A. Babin re-
vealed Saturday.
The volume of mail cancelled by
machine and handled under permits
was 12,544,743 pieces, an increase Of
97,143 over last year. Revenue from
the sale of stamps, envelopes and
paper totaled $658,093.39 as COM
pared with $609,221.56 for the pre-
vious year. Second class and other
mail all register sharp increases.
Charles H. Platt, Supt. of mails.
reported to the postmaster that
soldiers mail figured Importantly
in the gain, while air mail poundags
gained heavily. He noted that air.
line companies are interested in the
air mail volume graph, from the
standpoint of adding Waterbury to
direct pick up and delivery lists
after the war. This would mean the
construction of a first class airport
here.
The mail superintendent also ad-
vised the postmaster that graft
flying public response has been
made to the appeal for the mark
ing of zone numbers on mail sent
to Waterbury. This means that
people have notified their cor
respondent of their zone number
and use of the figures is expedit-
ing prompt handling of the war;
time increase in postal matter OF
all sorts, Mr.. Plat said.

NEW 0PA DUTIES
Learns of Appointment
Five Days After Official
Announcement

Arriving at Hyannis, Mass, yes
terday after completing his sailing
trip, Chester Bow1es, state OPA di-
rector, who had been sought by the
Coast Guard for several days
learned of his appointment to the
post of general manager of the
Office of Price Administration in
Washington and Immediately tele-
phoned OPA Director Prentiss
Brown of his acceptance. The ap-
pointment was made after the state
official started on his vacation sail
with members of his family and at
tempts to inform him of the selec-
ton were unsuccessful.
Mr.. Bowles expressed surprise
that he had been designated by
newspapers throughout the country
as missing. He said he had no
radio in the boat and was on the
sea from Monday until Friday when
he stopped at a small farmhouse at
Nashuan Island. Saturday he went
to Woods Hole where he said he
tied up near a Coast Guard boat
without learning of the wide search
for him.
AS manager of the OPA Mr..
Bowles will serve the Washington
office and nine regions of the coun-
try. He started his government

DESTROY RACWEED
ADVISES GODFREY
War Time Production Be-
ing Affected By clay
Fever AddictS"

Waterburians are urged to destroy
ragweed, the enemy on the home
front that influences absenteeism in
our local war industries, announced
DR.. Edward j. Godfrey, city health
officer, today.
This pestilence is now in its prime
and is already beginning to make
life miserable for thousands of per-
sons who are allergic to the effective
pollen. DR.. Godfrey pointed out that
the menace can be controlled greatly
if organizations would campaign to
destroy the weed. Results were very
effective last year, he said, but it IS
even more important that it be more
effective this year.
To uproot the weed is not enough,
said DR.. Godfrey. The weeds should
be gathered into piles to be burned
when dry, he added. To fight
against this menace is everybody's
duty and the public should take time
to tear the green up by the roots
wherever they find it thriving. Street
and park department maintenance
forces cut it down in the course of
their work, a policy which should be
adopted by persons having private
property as a contribution to public
health, he declared.
