 Congratulating the residents Of Waterbury on all their previous ef- forts in this type bond drive, John Hurley, state director of the War Finance committee, cited the fact although the city'S new Fifth War Loan Quota which has been set at $21 100000 is $7138,0 more than the previous drive he had not heard a single complaint on such an in- crease in the hours he spent in Waterbury yesterday. Such @ will ing attitude cannot lose" he said.

Hawkes. chairman of the payroll savings division plan and J. Fran cis Smith chairman of the Civilian Service Board.

 Influenza gave us fright. Or- iginating last November in the Great Lakes region and spreading quickly all over the country, the dread flu" claimed 126,610 vic- tims in its peak week, that of Jan- uary 8, which brought the total to that time up to 45O,722 cases. Some health officers reported that from 10 to 25 per cent of the populations in their areas were affected.
 But World War II influenza was weak, pale, listless imitation of the deadly scourge that swept then nation in 1918. Whereas the death rate at the peak during World War I rose to 64.8 persons out of every 1000, the 1943-4 peak was at the rate of only 19.3 persons out of every 1000. These were deaths from all causes, including influ- enZa.
