VALENTINE DAY
 AIDS FLORISTS
Supplies Depleted Quickly Today; Extra Work for
 MaiImerl

Cupids bows scattered many miles today as Waterbury and It's service men heartfully joined in the ob- servance of St. Valentines Day. Thousands of Valentines, in the form of cards, flowers, CT candy, circulated here as young and old joined In the festive custom of send- ing messages of love, much of 1t reaching to and from far-oH battle fronts.
 A little extra fun was thrown into this years greeting as Waterbury,s woHnenfolk took advantage of that once-in.four-years chance that comes with Leap Year. Many an eligible young man was said to be on his guard today, if not in actual hiding, as the fairer sex viewed the field and aimed the arrow.
 Flower supplies were reported to be quickly depleted and Valentine cards and parcels gave the postofflce extra business over the weekend and today. Local door bells buzzed heavily all day as the messengers of love cheerfully did their part in the annual observance.
