BY THE OUT EASTER

There was something unusual in the makeup of John F. Boylan of IT Bonair Avenue that always ap- pealed to us. You remember he died the other day, and was buried some time this week.
 A big, rollicking fellow, friendly good natured, natural wit, 8 good talker, young in years, fully &C., quainted with the happenings Of the day, and converSant with topics of keen interest, made his company most acceptable to others, who de- lighted in his presence and who lis tened to him with a feeling that there was 8 fellow who knew what he was talking about, and whose views on the subject question were well worth weighing, for the benefit it gave.
 Poor John Boylan. His death made some of us think. We had en- joyed his association upon many oc- casions. We knew his father, the late Charles Boylan, who conducted 8 butter and egg store on South Main street in our boyhood days. It was there we were sent for the family's demand for these articles of food, and it was there we had an oppor- tunity to study and listen to the words of his good father. not only to us, but to the many other cus- toners of the place. Our memory is

{ Human Engineering In Post War ReadjuStmentS
Poles at Home Must Face Problems Similar to Veter-
 ans Declares Unemployment Director

One of the principal functins of such local committees, he said, was to arrange for one central point of contact for veterans and displaced war workers so they will not have to go from one agency to another seeking whatever assistance or in- formation they might want. He explained that such central points of contact are simply information and referral centers in most of the smaller communities while in the bigger cities real service centers with provisions for guidance and counseling have been established.
 MT. Light stated that because of the large percentage of industrial workers in Connecticut and the probability of cutbacks in industry after the war this state will have many unemployed war workers af- ter the war who will need assist ance in finding new jobs. For this reason, he said, the Unemployment Commission is concerned with the future of displaced war workers as well as veterans.

The Connecticut War Fund cam paign to raise money for the sup port of USO, War Prisoners Aid and other War Fund agencies of the National War Fund reached $2,- 319,203 or 89 percent of its quota Ogden Bigelow, Greenwich, State Campaign chairman, announced to- day.
 In the 130 Connecticut towns conducting drives for the War Fund agencies alone, $563,870 or 101 per- cent ofth state quota was reached and reports are still to be made, MT. Bigelow said.
 The 19 Community Chest cities, where campaigns for the local chest agencies were combined with those for the National War Fund, haev reported $1,755, ,333 or 86 percent of their Connecticut War Fund goal.
 Fairfield, Litchfield and Middle sex counties have exceeded their goals for the War Fund as have 86 War Fund Campaigns in Connec- ticut towns. BroOkfield, Fairfield County leads the War Fund reports for the towns with 290 percent of it's quota. Seven of the Community Chests have gone over the top in their quotas and they include, Greenwich, Greater Hartford, Mer- iden, Torrington, Southington and Danbury.
 All the towns campaigning for USO, War Prisoners Aid, and oth- CT National War Fund agencies will continue until they have reached 100 percent of their local quotas, MT. Bigelow stated.

man, City Official.

MT. Boylan was then 8 city official of some kind, judging by some Of the conservation we heard in the store.
 John, however, learned the trade of an electrician. In his young days he was appointed to the service branch of the Department of Ed ucation, and along with Bill Has, sell, looked after all of the wiring work in connection with the school system. This brought him in con- tact with all of the school princi- pals and many of the teachers of the city government. To them, he was most cordial, listened attentively to the requests for a change or some improvement, and carried out in full every demand made upon him in this respect. His admiration for the school teacher, we mean the public school teacher, was just as keen as our own respect for that particular city employe. We, too, have always held high regard for the public school teacher, and John himself often expressed his feeling of joy, at our continued expression of loyalty toward the teacher.
 There isn't much more we can say about John Boylan except that he was Waterbury born, and that is sufficient proof he was of the stock we all admire. We know he loved his duties; he wanted to do the right thing, and that he was of the kind who would grant any favor within his power or grant. He lived life of happiness and contentment and rightfully expected to be among Us for many more years, rather than to be snatched up, and removed from activity at such an early age.
 We were among the many who enjoyed being at his side, taking part in the discussions raised, and enjoying every minute of the little gathering of people, who now and then got together for such meetings.
 While we shall miss him, others most dear and loved one, will, of course, never forget his days with them, and his real value and worth as a good citizen and man of the day.

visiting toy-shops this year to take their children with them. The dis plays are not 8 happy sight for lone adult with mature memories of the magnificent showings of Christmases past.
 Set of Block S1.75
 The wooden toys have a not- quite finished look, edges are little rough, grains not smoothly planed down. A small set of paint ed wooden building blocks costs $1.75. A tiny wooden gun shooting a missile about the size of 8 matchstick, $1.15. For $2.00 there is a small cottage made of heavy cardboard, its vivid blue windows and red door-trim beckoning cheerfully but net drawing atten- tion from the ill-joined walls. Lit. tie animals made of pipe-cleaners dyed in various bright shades are as much as, $1 .45 each.
 Chess and checker games are made entirely of cardboard; there are slits in the board" to hold the pieces. A box full of odd shaped pieces of colored cardboard is sold as game of designing patterns.
 It is well that little Billy and Betty never knew those gorgeously filled toy-shops of old. As it is. they are happily dragging mother from counter to counter with cries of, Look i1ere!" Look there!". and to watch them you would think there never had been Christmas as good as this one is going to be.

Adults, who may be a bit war weary, are viewing the first toy displays with jaundiced eye, la- menting the high prices, the crudely made building blocks, himsy doll houses and the undiS- guised cardboard going into many toys. But the tots, who really understand Father Christmas and know he is doing his best, are in- specting this years display with the same big-eyed wonderment and the same exclamations of de- light as have made Christmases merry since the beginning.
 What the older people are say- ing is that they don't see any toys that look as if they are likely to last out the period between Christmas and New Years Day. They say they are rickety, Shoddy, ill-made and obviously over-priced. Naturally little boys and girls don'tl ook at it this way.

Anyway it would spoil the Christmas fun to try to explain to Bill that all the slate is needed now for repairing tile roofs blown open to wintry skies by Hitler's V-1's.
 Nor is his little sister Betty going to love her new doll this year any less because it is small, its eyes don't close, and it can't say Ma Ma" As a matter of fact, she will have to care for it a little more tenderly than usual because, after six years of war, dolls are not as robust as they once were, the ones that used to have long, yellow curls and a wardrobe of flouncy dresses. These are austerity dolls, and little Betty who knows all about blackouts and bomb-shelters will understand.

that evhery returning veteran is given a fair chance to become usc- cessfully re-established in civilian life.
 He pointed out that suitable job for every veteran is the ulti-- mate objective of the Re-employ- ment Commission, with such cum selling, training and education as might be necessary to attain this objective.
 The speaker declared that at present, with plenty of jobs avail able, the problem of placing Veter- ans on jobs is not serious but that plans should be made now in every community for the day when there will be more applicants than there are jobs.
 These plans, he said, should in- clude study in each community of the kinds of jobs which will be available after the war and pro- gram of training and education which will permit veterans to qualify for such jobs.
 He emphasized the fact that each returning veteran will have his own individual career to carve af- ter the war and that those who will need assistance will need individual assistance.
 MT. Light explained that the Connecticut Unemployment Com sion is composed of representatives of various federal and state agen- cies and individuals interested in the postwar Adjustment and re- employment of veterans and dis placed war workers and seeks to attain it's objectives through CO., ordination of the efforts of these various agenceS rather than as an operating agency itself.
 He stated that the commission program is being carried out at the local level by local unemployment and veterans advisory committees composed of representatives of agen- cies within each community in- terested in this problem.

STAY-ON-T -THE,.JOB
 APPEALS VOICED
Shortage of Ammunition Presents Serious Prob
 lem to Armed Forces

Hartford, Dec. 1.-State Man power Director William J. Fitzge- aid of the War Manpower Commis- sion said today that Connecticut war workers still have an import ant war job to do to keep producing the essential war materials recent ly asked by our military leaders on the European and Pacific war fronts.
 MT. Fitzgerald called attention to the recent appeals by Generals Eisenhower and Norstad who said that success of the war will be seri- ouSly impaired unless American war workers stay on the job and keep producing the necessary ammuni- tion needed on the fronts. Tt has been knwn to the War Manpower officials of the state for some time that 8 shortage of amlnuni- tion existed and that his condition was So serious that it was necessary s+ kineS to ration ammunition along the firing lines. The War Manpow- CT Commission has asked all indus trial heads, leaders of Union groups, management members and others to respond to the appeal of our military leaders and increase pro- duction of war materials whihc has declined so severely in the past few months"
 Undoubtedly, he said, the decline can be attributed to peace jitterS and go cd reports from the war fronts. However, as General Eisen- hover and other military leaders have pointed out, the war is far from over and will probably re- quire many more months before the first phase and that-the defeat of Germany is obtained.
 Connecticut, like other states faces 6 serious labor shortage be- cause of the out-migration of work CTS. This out-migration assumed large proportions several months back but we believe that because Of some of our programs in vari- ous parts of the state in which We urged workers to stay on the job that this out-migratlon and quit ting of war jobs because Of these possibilities, has declined to a cons siderable extent.
 The Army Is still in critical need of duck tent materials, e fair amount of which k produced by textile firms In this state. produc- ton in this field has been tagging and the War Manpower Commission feels confident that 1t will be in. creased with tents and woolens.
