Perhaps 1t Vas the Nay
That Mr.. Smith Said IL

Smith was discussing his wife's
peculi arities with a few friends,
who lad gathered at his home.
"Tlle other day." he said, "my
wife put on a new dress which was
atrocious beyond words. daren't
say a word about it, and dared
hardly look at 1t, but as she went
out went to the window to have
another look and"
AT this juncture his wife entered
the room suddenly.
"And," continued Smith, "they
found the cat eleven days later on
top of the Eiffel Towerl"
And Mrs. Smith still does not
understand what there was in that
ridiculous statement to make
them all laugh SO uproariously.

QTY'S SALVAGE
PROGRAM STUDIED
Committee Reviews Work
Accomplished, Discusses
New Activities

A general discussion Of the city,
salvage program was held at yes
terday,s meeting Of the salvage
committee presided over by Chair
man J. Warren Upson. A previous
request Of $500 from the salvage
fund asked for by the Civilian
war Service board for use by the
combined association Of War Gar
denis committee, Consumers COM
mittee and Nutrition Council was
approved but temporarily withheld
until a subcommittee Of the main
salvage group meets with the chair
men Of three councils to deter
mine just how this money Will be
expended.
A check exceeding $1,000 was pre-
sented to the salvage committee
yesterday as proceeds from the
salvage paper collections Of the city's
school children. It was voted at the
meeting that a more specific utin-
zation Of such proceeds among the
city's schools should be employed
This money is divided among the
schools according to per capita en-
rollment so that each school gets Q
proportionate share. The board
voted that each schools proceeds
should be expended directly for
equipment, such as athletic equip
ment, which can be enjoyed by the
pupils who have worked so hard Tor
the money. It was also decided to
draw up some program for appeal
ing to high school students IN COL
lecting the dormant scrap paper
lying idle in the many offices and
stores in the city.
A more intensified city-wide scrap
paper salvage program will be out
lined in the near future with the
possibility Of house to house can
Yass for such salvage being under
taken, similar to that conducted IN
the collection Of tin cans.
The fats salvage program Of the
city, although averaging consist
entlv with the remainder Of the
state still remains far from salts
factory 1t was revealed. Billboard
advertising and handful advertis-
ing may be utilized wherever posi-
BILE in an attempt to stimulate these
drives.
An attempt will be made to re-
paint and dress up many Of the
large collection bins around the city
while those which have determined
beyond repair will be dismantled.
Special home salvage committees
are being organized within the var
ious Waterbury factories urging q
more intensified salvage saving pro-
gram on the part Of the individual
workers. Various means of visual
stimulation for such program will
be employed. Posters. pledge CARDS,
loud-speakers, trade papers and the
like will all advertise the need for
more and more personalized salvage
effort.

ATKINS SEEKS
RING VILLAIN
like BIvENS
BY DENNIS DALTON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
Cleveland, April Z. UP)-Match-
maker Larry Atkins, the Midwest's
only real rival to Dan Cupid, an
nounced today he would like to
find a good heavyweight to play the
william for Cleveland fight fans.
In other words, Atkins explained,
he would like to find another
Jimmy Bivins, who attracted the
biggest crowds here because most
Of the fans wanted to see the de-
sultory Negroes block knocked on.
Before the Army laid claim to
Jimmy's fighting ability, the 23-
year-old Negro blasted aside every
challenger to his Cnofncial title Of
the worlds No. ! heavyweight out
side the armed forces.
Manner Stung Fans
His last victim was Lee @. Muir
ray, hard-punching Norwalk, Conn.,,
Negro, whom he decisively defeated
Feb. 80 to finish his civilian box
inf career for the duration with a
string of is straight victories.
"Bivins was a nice fellow outside
the ropes but when he got into the
ring he somehow managed to In
cite the wrath Of the fans" Atkln
remarked. Perhaps 1t was because
Jimmy always seem so confident"
A good example Of Jimmy's
standing with the local fans was
the reaction to the announcement
Of his winning his first fight with
Murray after having suffered a
gashed left eye which bled pro-
fuSely.
Although the ringside consensus
was that Bivlns had won the battle
clearly on his aggressiveness de-
spite the eye injury, the crowd bel
lowed when the verdict came over
the loudspeaker. The return bout
was q natural" and drew capacity
house.
Attendance Is OF
But capacity houses will be for
gotten history unless Atkins can
develop a fighter with the unusual
drawing power Of Bivins, someone
who can be SUCCESSFUL In the ring
without being popular with the
fans.
The match makers last headliner
here brought together Tommy Bell,
sensational Youngstown, O., Negro
welterweight, and Make Berger,
veteran New Yorker. The bout drew
less than 5000 fans.
Atkins said he believed he may
have a good drawing card IN Lloyd
Marshall. Cleveland-born Negro
light heavyweight who now resides
in Sacramento, Cal. A Marshall
Jake LaMotta match perhaps?
Say" If that fight can be ar
ranged" Atkins exclaimed, 1--WE
would see another capacity house!
You can bet your life on that"

Gardeners Advised On
''Accident Prevention"
Enthusiastic Victory Workers Cautioned By Safety
Commission; List of Mishap Possibilities Prepared

Victory gardeners should include
accident prevention" as one Of the
main items in their plans for this
years gardens, according to the
Connecticut Safety Commission.
Simple little things can cause &C.
cidental injuries to gardeners, eS-
pecially to Victory Gardeners whose
lack of skill often combines with
misdirected energy to create acct
dent hazards that experienced farm
ers would avoid" the Safety Com
mission declared recently.
AS examples Of these simple little
things" the Safety Commission said
that splinters on wooden handles
of garden tools might cut a gar
dener's hand and start serious
infection, q defective wheelbarrow
might break down while being
pushed and thus throw the gardener
to the ground or q rake left hidden
with points upward among leafy
vegetables might go through a
gardeners foot.
Lifting heavy objects, working too
hard and too long, digging too
fast and overworking in general were
named by the Safety Commission as
being very dangerous to inexperi-
enced Victory Gardeners, and es-
pecially dangerous to persons whose
physicians haveq warned them
against overexertion". The Com
mission asserted that persons having
the slightest doubts about heir ply
steal fitness for the hard work neces-
sary to digging, planting and grow
ing q Victory Garden should con-
suit their personal physicians be-

Commission stated.
