New controls covering the mon
essential" job categories were sched-
uled to take effect today, but were
held off pending today's conference.
A similar plan, in which all work.
ers were to be brought under the
USES ~eferral system, was drawn up
In Hartford but leld off Saturday
by the state VINO director who said
he wished first to try q voluntary
program OF achieving the same ends.
1t is understood that Governor Ray
Inond E. Baldwin protested inn
mediate extention of the controls
and urged the VINO to hold off u
directive setting them in motion.
Since O uniform system Of controls
for all areas In the central Connec-
ticut section Is desired, 1t Is believed
the decision for Waterbury will be
identical to that for Hartford,
Indications have been made that
the voluntary system of setting CELL
ings may be tried further before
compulsory action Is taken. Under
the proposed program oil non-es.
sential firms employing 20 or more
persons were to have definite cell
ings on the number Of workers they
could employ. Under the voluntary
program, aideo by recently organiz-
cd Manpower Victory committees,
all firms were asked to set up CELL
ings voluntarily II none were al
ready In operation.
Changes were expected by some
sources here In the priority system
along with the controls on Ylon-es.
sential Jobs, but no revelation has
been made on the State WINGS
plans In that respect. Under the
present stirct regulations Job ap-
plicants ar. allowed to take employ
ment only In firms which are listed
at the top Of the priority list.

Soldiers Poem

A soldier will learn that his friends

And those who are trusted. some
day want to
But don't feel surprised as you go
thru life
For you never have to live it over
twice
When you become a soldier
You are used as a seed
That is subject to be planted
For your country's need
But then that's nothing, carry on
through
For your Dear Uncle Sammy has
called on you.

Hello everybody! Well here is
Girl Scouts Troop No. 60 reporting
again. We. are really happy now
because we have gone on our first
hike, which was an Easter Egg
Hunt. Early Saturday morning at
6 o'clock April s, we hiked out
to Miss Iva MichaeFs home about
one and three fourths miles and
back. On arriving at our destina-
ton we had much fun hunting
eggs. Accompanying US were other
Girl Scouts Troops, whom we in
vited and our sponsors, Misses l..
B. Walker, Minnie Johnson, Estrer
Dixon, Cleo Chadwick and Mildred
Peterson. All of the girls were
very nice and those who found
eggs divided with those who did
not find any.
We were very glad to have Prof.
w. H. Walton visit us during our
last meeting which was Tuesday,
April 4, He told us lot of things
about First Aid which we really
needed to know.
In addition he gave demonstra-
tons on how to make certain ban
dages and what to do in case of
certain accidents. We really en-
joyed his visit and invite him to
come again.
We are still working hard on our
second class rank and we will be
glad when the weather breaks so
we can go on another hike.

LIVING COSTS
IN BRITAIN
New York TimeS)

New York TimeS)
For three years the British have stabil-
lied their coSt-of-living index at level
between % and 80 per cent above that
in the pre-war period This achievement
was made possible by the combination OF
a heavy tax program, compulsory and
voluntary savings. effective price fixing,
extensive rationing of food products, COM
plete control over supplies and compre-
hensive. subsidy payments. As the pres
sure for price rises has increased, the
subsidy program has been broadened to
cover more products. From an annual
rate of 1884, 100000 early in 1940, total
subsidy payments were expanded to
$3.50. 100000 early in 1912 and to $780,
100000 last year
Many persons have cited the British
experience as support for the adoption
of a comprehensive subsidy program IN
this country. In many cases 1t has been
assumed that subsidies could be used to
prevent any general price rise.
Now this myth concerning subsidies is
about to be punctured. The Chancellor
of the EXchequer has Just announced that
despite the payment of subsidies 1t VIII
be necessary to permit the cost-of-llVlng
index to rise from the 1943 average OF
% per cent above the pre-war level to
a new level 80 to 80 per cent above the
pre-war period.
This revision in policy has been made
necessary because wages have continued
TO increase. In other words, the pressure
upon prices has become so great that
thew can no longer be rigidly stabilized
despita the large-scale use of subsidies.
A major lesson may be drawn from
this latest British development. There
are limits beyond which subsidies can
not be used to stabilize prices. Those
persons who have become convinced OF
the virtues of unlimited subsidies and
the desirability of further general wage
increases would do well to ponder this
latest development in Great Britains
battle to hold the line.
