Waterburians swung In behind
the invasion thrust into Nazi held
Europe today with the official OPEN
ing here Of the Fifth War Loan
Drive. Previously scheduled to open
next Monday the drive got under
way this morning as result Of the
urgent demand by thousands OF
participants in local industries,
business houses, etc.
Chairman Of the local war bond
committee James E. Moran today
urged the full and immediate par
ticipation by all Waterburians in
backing this invasion drive. More
than ever before" Mr.. Moran stat
ed" we must now back-the-at-
tack in the fullest sense. We must
prove to be q bulwark behind our
men now entering Killers domain"
Other bond officials today cited
the need for a stiffened effort on
our part in assuring the success of
the Fifth War Loan Drive now
known as the Invasion Drive.
Waterbury's total quota has been
set at $21, 10000 which is more
than 81 million over any previous
quota. Officials today were hopeful
that this would be exceeded by far
as proof Of our all out effort Of the
invasion troops. Citing the constant
source Of supplies that must be
poured into our troops during this
drive bond officials reminded all
Of the ornaments, foodstuffs and
medical supplies so critically needed
and which must be purchased by
the funds derived from out pur-
chase Of bonds.
With enthusiastic support local
residents began immediate purchase
Of war bonds to assure the success
Of the invasion drive. A total Of So
900 in bonds were sold by BETHEL
Sisterhood this morning at the VIC
tory House on the Green as resi-
dents pledged their all out support
Of the Allied force.
At ten-thirty this morning the
Scovill Mfg. Co. whistle was blown
10 times signifying the purchase Of
ten $1,000 war bonds to open up
their drive toward an $830,000 war
bond goal.
Meanwhile at the urgent request
Of hundreds Of workers in the
American Brass Co., Harold Dowd,
chairman Of the war finance COM
mittee Of the American Brass Co.
got the latter concerns drive into
action and scores Of pledges were
sworn to by employees. The goal
set for the American Brass Co., Is

tons. Also at the Chase Brass and
Copper Company with a quota Of
100000 in bond sales and at other

He Just


EOR nearly 20 years. a
! glass-blowing firm in the
English town of Smethwick
has been trying to fire Joe
Swan. Foremen have dis
charged him so many times
they have lost count. But
he keeps coming right back.
The company officials
really like Joe. They want
him to quit for his own
good. At 80, they say, he's
too old to work. Way back
in 1925-when he was 81
years old-they first tried
to get him to stop. BY then
he had been blowing glass
for AZ years.
The firm, named Chances,
put him on a pension. But

presidents office and laid
down the law.

in 1892, you told me that as
long as wanted to work
here there always was a job
for me-"
Every time they've tried

straight TO the boss with the
same story. Sometimes it's
1898 or 1895, but no one has
the foggiest idea what Swan
did, but he always stays.
The veteran glass-blower
likes TO reminiSce about the
good old days when he went
to work in a top hat and a
frock coat. "Ah," he says,

Back in those days, he
explains, the glass-blowers
used TO drink beer and rum

Con Birds
Compose Music?

WHEN birds twitter away.
w they are not singing
just any old song. They are
actually composing music.
This is the conclusion of
Or. Wallace Craig Of the
New York State Museum
following a study of the
wood peewee.
DR.. Craig discovered that
this bird had three songs in
its repertoire. and sang
them at different times.
The early morning song
was different from that
sung at midday, and en-
tirely unlike the one war
bled at twilight.
The scientist found that
the evening song consisted
of three different phrases
repeated hundreds of times
in varying order. Aided by
p other observers, he made
out a chart showing the
order Of the phrases.
This showed, he said, that
there was a definite must
cal composition to the songs.

An attack on Mai de Seversky.
Germany from overhead is like a
military mustard plaster, drawing
the enemy's aviation blood to that
particular portion of the country's
anatomy. The American or. day.
light assaults are the more impor-
tant in this respect because they
involve the kind of real combat in
the air that ties down and helps
destroy Hitler's fighter airplanes.
The key to the aerial picture in
Europe today is that we are now
fighting on the same continent
which contains the sources of Ger
man air power A proper apprecia-
ton of this fact makes it clear that
we are not engaged in a series of
separate and isolated air battles,
but in a crucial struggle against
the entire Luftwaffe.
A contest tor sky control over
the Netherlands, over a German
industrial target, over an italian
battle area are really, parts of the
same total picture. The mobility
of air power is such that control"
in any one spot is meaningless, be-
cause the enemy can reinforce the
position quickly and continually
from the main reservoirs of air
power.
Land Communications Limited.
Fortunately, the overland lines of
communication between Germany
and Italy are not of the best;
mountain ranges intervene, railway
and other roads are limited. Air
power, especially of the short-range
variety, is only as good as the sup
ply lines through which it is fed
This handicap under which Ger
man aviation in Italy operates,
however, is minor compared with
our own supply problems. At best
we are dependent on long lines
from the British Isles by way of
Africa and the Mediterranean, and
in the larger picture we are really
dependent on thousands of miles
of transoceanic lines, since Amer
lea is the primary source of sup
plies.
In high official quarters 1t has
been suggested, in connection with
the critical engagement below
Rome, that We have undisputed
control Of the sea and the air In
the arena of action.
That we do have sea control is
a fact-the enemy is entirely with
out surface naval forces, giving us
that control by default. But it
must be understood that monopoly
Of sea power, at the present time,
is meaningless unless the skies
