NEW PLACEMENTS
 HEAVY LAST WEEK
No Report Available on Proportion of Referrals
 to Bristol Factory

Placement of new workers con- tinued to be heavy last week at the U. s. Employment Service as re- ferrals were started for the New Departure ball-bearing company in Bristol, 1t was reported today by Paul Parsons manager. Figures on the total number of employees plac- ed in Waterbury and Bristol are not available as yet, however.
 The manager said placement was at about the same level as in pre- vious weeks. No report is available as yet on the proportion of referrals made to Bristol and other localities.
 Joseph Robinson, representative of the New Departure concern, was in Waterbury again today to inter- view prospective employees. The company at the presetn time has the top place on the Waterbury area labor priority list, and efforts are being made by the USES to ale viate the shortage of help there.

 The story of how Gerson hood winked the, Army into accepting him for service at his tender age is classic. He told authorities he was born in Orange, Tex,-a town whose schoolhouse burned down In 1922, destroying all vital statistcis.
 Since he looked of age Che was 5 lest, 8 inches tall and weighed 165 pounds), the Army accepted the story without blinking. Then his parents and his high school principal signed an "o.k,' for his induction.
 Gerson told his parents that he wanted more than anything else to work with Diesel engines, and he convinced them as well as his school principal that it was foolish for him to wait until graduation.

In one way or another, most of us
are In business these days-the grim
business Of war. Exacting jobs. the
tug Of war-weariness, often blot out
the comparative leisure and charm
OF prewar days. But though the
scene has changed, the memory
fingers on. We doubt that few
women have not been bewitched by
tales OF the charm Of the Gay
Paree of yesteryear. And now We
ind that. along with 20 many OF the
reminders Of civilization these days,
the essence Of this charm has been
transported to US, mAgically cap
tured In crystal bottles, Is . chal-
lenge to the tenet that wartime Nv-
Ing applies bludgeon-l strokes to
our sense Of beauty and femininity.
What's more, these perfumes have
. past" They're all tied up with
the life Of their creator, q versatile
lady whose vivid days have been
packed with the moods that she has
converted into these famous scents.
Recau5e feminine charm varies
from the suave aura OF the smooth
sophisticate to the rosy glow of the
sweet young thing" this touch Of
the prewar Paris blossoms forth in
fve bewitching odors, designed to
enhance your individuality. And II

Saws

A young man asks: "Just what
should an engagement mean to a
young couple who have promised to
marry each other?" Well, in my
opinion, the chief thing it should
mean to them is that their, engage
ment has given them little inter-
lude in which to search their own
hearts and try to find out whether
the thing they think is love is the
genuine article, all wool and a yard
wide and that will stand the hard
wear Of everyday use, or whether
it is just a yard of pink chiffon that
will go into rags and tatters before
the honeymoon Is over
And the next thing they should
do is to put in the months Of watt
ing during an engagement in trying
to find out what sort Of q life COM
panion the party of the other part
will make. Does Mary know the
answer to any of the big riddles of
life? Can she talk any language ex-
cept baby talk? Does she pout when
she can't have her own way? Can
she cook and run a budget? viii she
be the sort of q wife who will be a
helpmate, or a dead weight on her
husband?
And what about John? Has he
any line of conversation that can
interest an intelligene woman after
he quits telling her what q world
beater she Is? Is he critical and
fault finding? Does he have to be
handled with gloves to keep him
from going into q crouch? Does he
have q Yale lock on his pocketbook
to which no wife will ever ind the
combination?
An engagement should be regard
ed as just an option that q couple
take on each other, not as = binding
contract like marriage. Often
young couple promise in good faith
to marry each other, yet when the
time comes for them to fulfill their
vows they know they are bringing
lifelong misery on themselves by
doing it.
An engagement should not last so
long that it gets stale and couple
lose all desire for each other. In all
such cases the engagement should be
broken and the wedding called Oh,
even If they are on the very steps
Of the church.
An engagement is not an alibi for
q liaison. Ethically and socially and
conventionally an engaged couple are
bound by the same restrictions. In
their relationship to each other -
any other decent man ana woman.

The letter from the lady whose
husband is away in the Army while
she Is !"just waiting" and wanting
to know how to I'LL the many hours
interested me. because though my
situation Is not the same I do know
what 1t is to be alone q great deal
and have worked out a few things
that interest me and help to pass
considerable time rather profitable.
I will be glad to have you print them
If you think they may be Of use to
others:
Develop Hobbies and Interests in
the things that especially appeal
most to you. These may be Of many
kinds but fe wsimple ones are sug-
gested:
Take walks-You may have to
push the gocart but at the same
time observe whatever there is of
nature around you-in the way Of
flowers, birds, trees, squirrels, ETC.
Or ride out by bus or car to some
more suburban point and explore q
little some afternoon or morning.
Write letters-Of course you do
this now, especially to the soldier
husband, but it can become more in
teresting even by choosing variety
Of interesting papers; get some of
the cute and colorful gummed stick
ers to put on the backs of the en-
velopes; clip the best jokes and
poems or short stories or articles
from your magazines and inclose
appropriate ones to each friend to
whom you write. Or If you find in
teresting pictures, those can be In
closed also. Letters are an outlet
and draw your thoughts to others
and cheer both recipient and sender.
Make Scrapbooks-This has end
less possibilities, as they can be on
some practical subject or just clip
pings of general interest. I like to
clip pictures, verses, jokes, ETC., then
later combine them appropriately
and have some fine results. One
book was sent to q school for Grip
Piles, another to sick friend, still
another made up of all old-time
pictures went to my mother on her
birthday.
Take Exercises-This can be a lot
of fun If you turn on the radio and
go through some good bending,
twisting, and lying on the floor rails
ing legs then doing the "sit-up" and
many others that you can devise. If
a good peppy number comes along
get up and dance about solo and
have a good time. Finish OF with
a bath and wet rubbing with brush
and towel and you'll feel ready for
most anything.
Take Up Some Art-According to
what appeals to you; perhaps a
musical instrument, water color
painting of post cards, beadwork,
embroidery, crocheting. Or you
might take a correspondence course

USE YOUR HUSBANDS LET

comes home. Go back over them,
make q glorified address book with
the names of his friends, but to the
addresses add what he says about
them. Keep adding to this book
every comment he writes-and you'll
stand good chance of knowing his

does when he comes home. You're
going to run into them after the

to know them well beforehand.

It's very heartwarming to have him
