Controller Accepts Jeffer- son Day Craftsmanship;
 Tentative Date Set

Nell P. Maloney, city controller and secretary of the local Democra- tic town committee, today made known his acceptance of the duties of chairman of the Jefferson Day dinner in the Fifth Congressional district.
 The dinner which will bring to- gether prominent party members from this district is scheduled for April 13the although it is possible the local affair will be scheduled ahead pending reservations. MT. Ma loney stated he was encountering difficulty in obtaining sufficiently large dining quarters for that date.
 This year because of travel diffi- cultieS it is plannid to hold one one of these dinners in each of the five congressional districts in the state instead of one large dinner for all state members.
 It is thought at this date it would be advisable to hold the dinner planned for the 5th district here in Waterbury because of its being cen- trally located within the district. Plans at present are tentative.
 Frank J. Madden, Jr., chairman for all the dinners which are being sponsored by the Democratic State Central Committee. MT. Madden reported gratifying results from the recent Washington Day dinner in New Haven.

 Sure signs of spring when you take a walk along Washington street between Sylvan avenue and Merry street and see the old boxes filled with empty tin cans; one would thing that surely the World War II is all over, and it is no longer neces- sary to save ones old cans, take tops and bottoms off of them, and put them under your heel, and have the salvage committee send a truck to pick them up. If the party who so stealthily put those boxes there, Sunday night in all the rain, knew that some of the neigh bors knew them, perhaps they wouldn't feel so comfortable about leaving their trash for someone else to clean up, to say nothing about their patriotic spirit in not giving them to the tin can drive to help kill the JapS.
