| John Fitch.
of steamboat, he went to New York
City in 1785. The American Congress
at that time held its meetings in
New York, and he wanted money to
be voted so he could carry on his
work of making steamboats,.
The steamboat story Is long one,
and 1t Is hard to say who should
have most honor for making 1t a
real thing. At least 20 men were
important pioneers in making the
invention.
Among pioneers on this side of the
Atlantic it seems plain that Robert
Fitch was first of all. He knew
nothing about steamboat tests in
Europe and believed himself to be
the first man who ever had thought
of such a thing.
Sad to say, the American Congress
failed to give help to Fitch. Neither
could he get money for his work
from any Of the State Legislatures.
Yet the inventor struggled on.
Poor man as he was, he was able to
raise small amounts to build steam
boats. At length he formed a COM
pany with capital of little more
than $500.
! One of Fitch's plans was to have q
steam-engine move upright oars. A
boat Of this kind was tried at Phila-
delphia on the Delaware River in
1786. There were II oars, 6 on each
side, and they made the little vessel

lUncIe Roy's Corner

The Nation called the United
States of America was only nine
years of age when 42-year-old in
ventor came forward with plans for
a steamboat. The man was Robert
Fitch.
Born In Connecticut, Fitch worked
as gunsmith and clockmaker dur
ing his young manhood. He also
was surveyor and at one time was
captured by Indians.
His work as a surveyor took him
to rivers in Ohio. That is one reason
why his mind turned to the steam
boat. Flatboats could drift down
river. but 1t was great trouble to
move them against a current.
Steam ought to do that work."
thought Fitch, and he set to work to
prove that it could be done. Drawing
up plans and making q small model

North's response to his partners
opening spade bid involved a close
decision; one no-trump was an un-
derbid, two no-trump a decided
overbid. North compromised by
bidding two spades and South
rather optimistically jumped to
game.
West opened the diamond king,
which won the trick. Seeing but
nine tricks in sight, South wished
he were in three-no-trump con-
tract. West played low diamond; !;
East won with the ace and shifted
to the seven of hearts. While the
seven may actually have been a
fourth-best heart, South could see
no reason why East, a very keen
player, should present him with a
free finesse. South, therefore, went
up with the heart ace and then
drew trumps. He then played a
club to dummy and trumped dia-
mond in his hand. South's last
trump forced West to disgorge a
club, whereupon South played an
other club, winning in dummy.
The stage was now set. Dummy's
last diamond was played and South
discarded the jack of clubs. West,
after winning, was forced to lead
away from his heart queen directly
into the tenace.

 The dispatch also described the work of one bazooka gunner in fighting of counter attacks at a bridge. He was Pfc. Leonard c. Peterson of Viking. Minn., who won the DSC for his fighting.
 Artillery fire rained down and Peterson prepared for an attack" said the dispatch. "Ssoon it came Tanks began coming across the marsh toward the bridge. When they got within 100 yards they took to the road.
 Peterson let them come on. When the leading tank was about 90 yards away, he opened fire. ft burst into flame. Peterson continued firing at the tanks until he had knocked out three and the other had withdrawn.
 Meanwhile his bazooka had been struck and penetrated by machine gun fire and he had been wounded by a shell which ricocheted from it.
 Germany infantry were coming forward. so he grabbed the rifle of a wounded fellow-soldier and picked of oncoming Germans. After a sharp engagement which included hand-to-hand fighting the Germans withdrew and did not reappear until several came forward under a Red Gross flag to retrieve their wounded.

CHICKEN CUTTING
 DISPLAY PLANNED
Women invited to Free De- mIOnstratiOn Thursday
 By Mrs. Marion Dakin

Mrs. Marion Evans Dakin. Exten- sion Nutritionist for the University of Connecticut. will give a demon- stration on cutting and canning or chicken at the air-cOnditioned Con- necticut Light and Power auditori- um Thursday afternoon. August 2s, at 2:i5 D. m.
 Since chicken feed has been scarce and hard to obtain, women have found it profitable to can chickens when they reach 3 l-2 to { pounds in weight. 4 chicken this size will fill a quart jar. If an unexpected guest or two arrive when the fam fly larder is low, tt is a pleasure to be able to produce a can of chicken from the storage closet. Canned chicken may be served as chicken salad, fried chicken. fricasee or in other tempting ways.
 Mrs. Dakin will also answer any questions persons may care to ask on canning. dehydrating. and freez- ing of fruits and vegetables and meats.
 Mrs. Dakin has written many bul- letins on food preservation for the Connteticut State Extension Sery- ice. Woven in this area are familiar with Mrs. Dakin's bulletin, Home Preeryation of Fruits and vege- tables. which has been distributed at canning demonstrations at sle Connecticut Light and Power Coin- pany and at local schools.
 This demonstration is part of the War Emergency Food Preservation program sponsored by the Water bury Nutrition Council. in eoopera. ton wit hthe New Haven County Extension Service.
 An invitation to attend the demonstration is extended by the Nutrition Council to all women Of Waterbury and surrounding area There shall be no charge.

Several Connecticut men are members of a parachute regiment Of the s2d Airborne Division which the mayor of Ste Mere Eglise mas recommended for award of the Fourragers Franchise because Of their successful fight to win and hold bridges against the enemy on D-Day tn France, hours before any landing forces had reached the beachhead.
 It was their job to keep German achievements from getting up to the beachhead and they did that job well, though casualties were high, according to a dispatch from their divisional headquarters.
 Speaking of this regiments work. in asking the award for its mefn- bers. the mayor wrote.
 For 4s hours these men, their strength reduced already by losses during the night. always alert for combat, separated from the sea by eight kilometers of hostile country, having on their right flank in the village of Fauville, towards Caren- tan, strong attachments of infantry and anti-aircraft units: on their left flank at Neuville au Plain two battalions of a German division composed largely Of guns and tanks: and finally on their west facing the sea. two companies of fanatical Georgians who would fight to the last man. these American sol- dierS resisted alone with their sub- machine guns. two machine guns and two small cannons taken from gliders.
 These men I observed in battle They did not show false bravado They spoke little, one might say they only unanswered. They went along. cigarette between theil lips or chewing their gum. huggint walls. yet going along upright and quietly. under the smelling from the batteries of Azeyille and St. Mar tin.
 "Forty-eight hours after their ar- rival, the magnificent work was ac. complished by them alone.
