According to the heauquarterS no- tlce, ll Waterbury men, two from Thomaston, and one from Plymouth are on the Red Cross list of prlson- CTS of war. Of that number five arc In Japan, seven in Germany and two are held as civilian inter- nees in France. Further investiga- ton is In progress to obtain more complete records on war prisoners, 1t was reported, and to secure his- tories of all the men held by the enemy.
 Latest compilations made here through War and Navy department communications and other releases showed that 25 men of the area are interned in prisoner camps over- seas, and 1t is believed that comple- ton of the Red Cross information will disclose a still larger number.
 The New York report came as lo- cal volunteers continued their ef- forts Go boost the war fund collec- tions nearer to the $208,000 goal set for Waterbury. Today the total was listed at $86, ,404,82 as the half way mark of the drive period drew near. Collections are scheduled to continue throughout tho month.
 In connection with the current appeal here and in respect to the Red Cross committees prestige among American prisoners of war Chairman John M. B.errall has re- ceived a letter from Anthony Pe- trillo of this city. MT. Petrillo's son Lieutenant Francis A, Petrillo, is presently a prisoner in Nazl prls- on camp in Germany. He was cap- tured when his bomber was shot down in an aerial attack. Two oth. hr Waterbury boys are In the same prison camp.
 MT. Petrillo's letter was inspired by encouraging reports received from his son in Germany. It fol- lows:
 John M. Burrall,
 4i Church street,
 City.
 My dear Major:
 Now that tho Red Cross Drive Is on I thing 1t would be Q good idea to inform people that the Red Cross is doing Q great deal in this present conflict.
 The first letter I received from my son It. Francis A. Petrillo who happens to be Q prisoner In Ger many since August i7, l043, asked me to send Q check of $26.0o to the Red Gross and tell them 1t was from grateful prisoner, Ac- cording to this he must have been helped greatly by the Red Cross, because he knew I had already donated to the Red Cross, so If he hadn't been helped In one way or another, I do not think he would have asked mo to send an- other 92S00 check. I was very glad to follow his wishes and hope that everyone knows that the Red Gross Is doing great deal especi- Aaly to the prisoners In Germany.
 I am su 0 that he Is greatly in- dAbted to the Red CrosS as he teIls ,ne that he gets 0 package every week from them. He can- not tell me what they have done tor him or what he receives

G l BRATS are officers children
 In a large post they usually live with their parents in or near the camp. There isn't much they don't know about the Army and they can generally give the non- cons few pointers-which is not relished by the non-coms. c. ]
 BRATS are especially adept at bright sayings, such as. Daddy. when are you going to be a Cap tain?". when the Commanding Ofiicer is visiting. They are raised in an Army atmosphere and it is "a pretty good bet that the boys will don uniforms when they reach the proper age.
