Building Trades Council, gets around the state as much as anyone does, finds unanimous praise wherever he goes for the swell job labor did in the elections. It was the Conn.

 SHUBERT THEATRE is charging a top price of $3 for the shows which are trying out in New Haven, which to some of our readers is a rather high price to gamble on an production. Producers bring new shows to cities like New Haven to whip them into shape for presentation in New York. This is nart of the normal expense of pro- ductiOn. Why not therefore. give New Haveners better break? With top price of $2, your aver age New Haven theatre-goer still would be taking a chance, since only a small percentage of plays are successful.

Do you have poor digestion?
Do you feel headachy after eating?
Do you get sour or upset easily?
DO you feel tired-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out of the food you eat-you must digest
It properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pints of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
If Nature fails, your food may remainun
digested, lie sour and heavy within you.
! Thus, it is simple to see that one wayto
aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now, Carriers Little Liver Pills
start to increase this flow quickly for
thousands-oft in as little az thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're
on the road to feeling better which is
what you're after.
Don't depend on artificial aids to coun-
eractindigestion- when Carriers, taken
as directed, aid digestion after Natures
own order. Get Carter Little Liver Pills
today-only 25t. You'll be glad you did.

Egg Rolling Is Out

Year: VIA Complains

WASHINGTON, April s. R -
There'll be no rolling and running
of eggs on the White House lawn
this Easter Monday, even though
the War Food Administration
would like to get rid of some OF
the surplus poultry product.
The annual egg rolling on the
back lawn has been cancelled
each year since the war begun,
but the VIA suggested it be re-
sumed this year to help reduce the
egg supply. The White House in
formed VIA officials it wasn't
having anything to do with the
destruction of any food, with SO
many items rationed.
The peacetime egg festivals
have brought tens of thousands Of
children and parents into the
White House grounds each year
and the landscape, at the end Of
the affair, has been splotched with
yellow and white and all the
colors of Easter egg dye.

Will Be Discussed Here

meeting of the City Planning
board with the Community coun-
ell at 8 pm. Thursday, April 10,
IN the chamber of commerce as

chairman of the Planning board,
announced yesterday.
Speaking of the boundaries to
which the City Of Wilmington is
proposed to be extended, Emory
said I'VE will not recommend SO
far" as the limit lines once dis
cussed here. Efforts to extend the
limits last year to include farm
lands, the airport, and part Of
Carolina Beach road were never
realized.
A preliminary discussion to de.
termine reactions was held early
this week between a special Com.
munity Council committee, headed
