l CHILDREN BACK 9TH WAR DRIVE
Students Poised for Part in Campaign Opening
 Next Monday

Connecticu'ts school children, who in the last school year invested more than nine and a half million dollars in war finance program, are poised for their part in the Sixth War Loan which opens Monday, and Mrs. Ray mond E.. Baldwin, chairman of the Schools at War program in Connec- ticut, today advised parents what they can expect.
 Each pupil, she said, will be asked to write letter home to their par ents, explaining why the letter should support the Sixth War Loan with their dollars, and enclosing a green E Bond application. As in the Fourth War Loan when this plan was also used, the parents purchas- ing B bonds in response to their children's letters will eb asked to credit the bond sale to the school attended by the child.
 Mrs. Baldwin said that during the loan, schools will also intensity their own Schools at War Program, which Daniel Melcher, director of the education section of the Treas ury Department, has described as "one of the best in the country" AS of today, 596 of the 1110 public, par ochial and private schools in the state reported at least 90 per cent of their enrolment buying at least one War Stamp month, and entitling them to fly the Treasury Depart mentS Minute Man Flag.
 | The state chairman said that re- ports to date indicate that Connecti- cut schols are improving their 1943- 1914 showing, when they accounted for War Stamp and Bond sales ag- gregating $9,676,2 ,249.10, standing fourth in the country in per capita sales, and sponsoring the purchase of vast amount of war equipment, including 822 jeeps, 28 Corsairs, four Mustangs, 24 trainer planes and eight field ambulances, with smaller schools arranging for the purchase of such items as scooters, floats and parachutes.
 Last year, Mrs. Baldwin said, five schools in the state, Red School in Coventry, Oxford school in West Hartford, Sacred Heart High school in Waterbury, Broad Street school in Norwich, and Dayville School in Killingly, achieved 100 per cent par ticipation for 10 consecutive months, and it is this record, she added, to which many Connecticut schools have set their sights this year.
 In Greenwich, public schools are now seeking $S8, 800 for Grum- man Hellcat fighter; Fairfield ele- mentary schools are raising $5O,OOC for 9 pursuit plane, and at Danbury High school, students are endeavor- ing to buy 10 field ambulances be- fore December 2
 In Hartford, schools face high re- quirements for receiving the Minute Man flag emblem, since Superin- tendent of Scholso Fred D. Wish, Jr., has insisted that 90 per cent participation must include the pur- chase of at least one War Samp a week, rathe rthan a month.

NEED LABORERS IN
 CRITICAL PLANTS
State WING Takes Action to Insure Production of
 Vital War Supplies

Hratford, Nov 16-The War Man power commission in Connecticut has been advised by General Som- ervell that although the great ma jority of the items produced for the prosecution of the war are now produced on schedule, there are a few critically needed materials which are seriously behind in pro- duction, State Manpower Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War ManpoWer Commission said today. In order to staff the plans produc- ing these critical items, MT. FitZ- gerald said his organization is now concentrating all of its efforts on manning such plants regardless of their location.
 Several of these critical plants are located in this state producing items needed in heavy duty truck and tire manufacturing, heavy ar tillery ammunition and other pro- grams. The need for these materials is so critaicl MT. Fitzgerald said, that the War Manpower Commis- sion can no longer recognize area boundaries in recruiting for them. The particular types of workers needed in these critical plants must be obtained even though their may affect recruitment for other activi- ties hitherto considered essential. However, it is not anticipated that other activities or industries will be seriously hampered by this recruit ment program as the number of workers being recruited for these specific plants is comparatively small.
 The inter-regional recruitment program, MT. Fitzgerald said, will be conducted on a New England wide basis and has been sanctioned by Arthur c. Gernes, regional di- rector of the War Manpower Com mission, who said that we must man hte essential plants in order to supply the armed forces with materials which General Semervell has asked for"

 POSTS DIVIDEND
Directors Announce Quar- terIy Payment of 20
 Cents :; $2.55 for Year

The directors of the Connecticut Light & Power company at their meeting today declared a year end dividend on the common stock of ninety cents a share for the last quarter of 1914. This dividend, pay- able 1, 1945 to stockholders of rec ord of December 5. 1924, will bring the total dividend declared for the year to $255 a share.
 Prior to the war the company had declared a regular dividend on its common stock of $500 8 share. The war brought with it greatly in- creased taxes and other costs and the company, therefore, in 1922 low cred the dividend to $247h share a reduction of 17h16. The dividend declared in 1943 amounted to $40 a share. With the dividend pust de- clared, it will amount in 1944 to $2.55 or 15%o less than the regular dividend paid before the war.
 President c. L. Campbell ex@ pressed satisfaction that the posi- ton of the stockholders has been improved so that by comparison with the prewar dividend of $500 this years dividend of $2.55 is Q re- duction of only 15%.
