'Shoddy Goods Now
Displayed In Stores

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-CP)-The
needle and thread brigade let out
a boiler today that CA there's not
enough clothing around to keep
the children warm; OBJ what there
is, isn't good enough to make sew
ing repairs worth while.
The protest was voiced through
the American home economics as
ISOLATION in Is states. The survey
indicated:
Shortages are most critical in
clothing for children under Is
years of age; underwear. elastic
and panty waists are in great
need.
Yard goods has deprecated. in
quality - women are willing to
sew but can find no outing flan-
mel . yard goods is so poor that
it isn't worth the time to make
up"
In the Wintry northern tier of
states, boys overalls, long under
wear, stockings and heavy coats
are needed.
Some women said that materials
now stand few launderings and
sizing is less dependable" than
normally. One reported she
bought size 16 pajamas for her
son who usually wore size II and
they shrank to the point where
the sleeves played tag with the
elbows.
The survey was prompted by an
appeal from rs women of the Min
neapolis and st. Paul area who
wrote to OPA and other Federal
agencies, urging remedial action.
They added:
1--WE recognize that there are
many inconvenience We must en-
dure due to war needs. However,
when such inconsistencies exist as
a profusion of luxury items such
as $50 blouses alongside a dearth
OF essential items. something

Odds And Ends

Johnny Reardon of Crosby and Eddie Cavanaugh of Wilby, new football captains for the 1945 season are the sons of Dennis Reardon of Mill Plain and Middlebury and Ed die Cavanaugh, the Pine Hill wrecker of the 1910 era, who tackled like Tiger tank, according to the Old Timers south of the Baldwin street bridge. Both boys played plenty of top-notch football for the past two years, and are richly de- serving of leadership next season which has been voted them by their teammates; and of which afore- mentioned papas take justifiable pride. Cavanaugh, a second team-au state tackle this year; and Rear don, an able halfback and kicker should provide quite an eyeful come next Turkey Day morning at the stadium When two active sports editors take part in an Al basketball game as opponents, that is MAN BITES DOG news.

This Sporting World
Pro HoopI,ers Here?
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

A worthwhile source of informa- ton indicates that the all New Britain Pros, basketball unit in-
 cluding ex-collegianS, will intro duce the professional basketball game in Waterbury, possibly at the state armory on Field street, starting Sunday night; January T. The team includes Lou PoSner of DePaul, Eddie Brahms of Fordham, Leo Merson, player-coach from LIU, Frido Frey, also former Black bird from Long GYLAND and Ed die Spotts of Pittsburgh, plus one or two local hoop stars; possibly Matty Sheehan, now performing with Waterbury Tool in the IRA league. Naugatuck's Fred Davi is expected to be the promoter, though he has not made definite announce ment of his plans pending com- pletion of all arrangements. These men can play either professional or intercollegiate (amateur) rules, depending upon the opposition and the demand of public sentiment, once the team has been seen in action. It is expected that the team named will "repre- sent' Waterbury each week on Sum- days, competing with the IRA league which also has triple-head- CTS scheduled for Sunday afternoons at the YMCA.

BarnhiH Satisfied With "Underdog Role
.EAVENWORTH IMPRESSIVE
 IN 42-24 WIN

Highly elated over the team play and scoring ability exhibited by his hoop charges last night in their first game of the season, Coach Bill Tracy of Leavenworth planned to polish up his defensive tactics a little more prior to an expected hard game scheduled for Saturday night in Torrington against Connie Dona- hue's classy Big Red combine.
 Shelton high provided nothing but rough and ready opposition last evening as Leavenworth piled up a 42 to 24 victory over Doc Conklin's inexperienced outfit, one of which was put out of the game for a dis, qualifying personal foul, in which 8 Leavenworth player was delib- erately tripped. Urged on by their coach to play dirty" basketball, the Shelton boys made innumerable fouls, particularly in the latter part of the game, when there was no hope of catching the steadily scor- ing Tech tossers, who finished with reserves in the game. Leavenworth led, 23-8 at half time.
 With considerable height in Eudiks, Santagotta, Cochiola. and Metropolis, the Tech team handled the ball exceptionally well, Herb Ciarlone and Metropolis indicating ability as dribblers while EudikS, who scored 18 points was valuable under the hoops. Summary:
