In the major division in the IRA. Mems Bowling League Chase Metal last week was holding all records that could be established for the week, but Waterbury Man. ufacturing still led in the league tsanding with 31 wins and Il losses. Sharon of the Chase Metal last week scored 154 in high singles, not too many pins away from Brick of the American Brass who holds the sea- sons record to date with 168. Sharon also topped the high triples record last week with 397 mark but couldn't come anywhere near the record established by Asetta of Mat tatuck with APT pinfall.
 Chase Metal pressed hard for the high single team game record which is 666 held by Waterbury Mfg. and American Brass. Chase posted 635. The high total team record for the year, held by American Brass for several weeks of 1798, Chase Metal came the closest yet in tieing that record with 1797 marker last week.

Some Frenchmen already are COM

This view was voiced in the United
States senate recently by Senator Bush

which Senator Connally Of Texas replied:
France has played part in this war,
but she has made a very sorry spectacle.
She collapsed like q house of cards be

prove her ability to sit on the council.
say let her serve an apprenticeship for
awhile"
That is a sensible suggestion.
And Franchmen generally would be
wise to take it to heart.
France can be a great nation again,
but not through taking umbrage at unin-
tended sights by those who have redeem
ed her from the grip of her NaZi masters.

KEEP WAR BONDS
(Sacramento Bee)

The Treasury departments recently
announced plan to simplify the redamp-
ton OF war bonds is desirable, but 1t
should not tempt bond owners to cash IN
any of these securities merely because OF
some temporary need for money.
Effective October 2, the bonds may be
redeemed at any qualified commercial
bank or trust company. Later they must
be cleared through a federal reserve bank
or the Treasury.
Series A, B, c and D bonds sold be-
tween 1885 and l94l can be converted
into cash under provisions of the new
plan, as can the series + bonds sold to
individuals, but the plan does not apply
to series and G..
The recent bond redemption trend has
been altogether out of line with sales and
with the nations need for increased pub
lie investments with which to speed vie
tory.
Keeping bonds is as important rs buy
ing them.
As Secretary of the Treasury MOrgen-
thau says, they should not be presented
for payment except in cases Of absolute
emergency.

The face of a certain major III
war department bureau of public
relations is exceedingly red these
days, and his ears are blistered
from the beating they have taken
over the telephone. Asked to draw
up a program on what the bureau
Of public relations should do to cele-

major finally produced document
six pages long, single spaced.
Everything centered around V
Hour on V-Day. A statement was
to be written for Secretary of War
Stimson to give cut on V-Hour plus
30 minutes. Telegrams OF congrat-
ulations were to be prepared for
General Marshall to send to Cen
eral Eisenhower for release at v
plus-one- Hour. A history of the
war should be prepared for release
en- V-Day- -pluS-one. And so on.
Then to show that he was a real,
long g-distance planner, the major
outlined just how news reels, radio
and newspapers should be Co-ordi-

that the movie people should be
called in on "V-Day -minus-30,' the

AS soon as the memorandum was
circulated, the smart gag around
