SPECIAL BOXES
 AID SEAL SALE
Public May Obtain Supply of Christmas Seals at
 Banks and Stores

Service boxes where interested residents may obtain Christmas seals to decorate tl:eir holiday mail and to aid a most worthy cause have been placed in local banks, offices and mercantile establishments. It has been explained by the campaign committee of the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis league that the box es will provide seals for those who failed to receive their customary supply in the mails.
 In addition to six banks boxes have been conveniently placed in Howland- Hughes, Griev, Bisset 6c Hollands, Miller & Peck's, Bronson Library, Hotel Elton and Root & Boyds. Several other places will be officially designated shortly.
 The committee also issued an ap- peal today to friends who may have received seals in the mail which owing to sudden change in wealth CT conditions, have become defec- tive. Due to war conditions no wax paper was available to insert be- tween the shests of stamps. Some of the envelopes were datnpened by recent rains with the result the stamps were made practically use- less. If recipients will return them to the office cf the Anti-Tubercu- losis league they will be replaced
 It was learned today that if the campaign this year is successful fl will be owing largely to the generous support of old-time patrons. Many new families in Waterbury have failed to respond to the appeal. Il is not too late for all interested 1T the organizations magnificent work to obtain seals and by their con- tributions help to combat tht White Plague in Waterbury.

Miss keIIems Tells Of Love To US Senate
R1 FREDERICK c. OTHNIAN

By FkEDEhACh C. O1hMAN Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Dec. 5-(UP)-Miss Vivien Kellems, a sharp-chinned lady with a brown glass bangle in her hat and a gleam in her eye, managed to get the U. S. Senate, in all it's dignity, interested in love Ribbon tied letters, hearts and flowers, international romance.
 First thing she knew she had Sen Kenneth Mex Tennessee's leading bachelor, telling how he tried 1O1 times to get himself a wife (lO1 ladies unanimously said s.no" and by then Miss Kellems was having her troubles keeping sena- torial attention upon her own love affair.
 Miss Kellems, as you doubtless know, is the WeStport, Conn, manu- facturer, who hates the New Deal and all its works and doesn't care who knows it. The man she loved was Count Frederick von Zedlitz a German steel maker living in Argentina. She went to see him when she could. She sent him cablegramS. She wrote him letters
 You can imagine her amazement, she said, when she discovered that Columnist Drew Pearson was quot ing from her letters on the radio Where did he get em? That's what Miss Kellems wanted to know. She enlisted the Senate postoffice com mittee, Sen McKellar, chairman, to help her find out.
 She brought along 8 cable grip, which is dingus that grabs pipes and won't let go, to show the com mittee what she manufactured in Westport. She gave Sen. Mcclellan one end of it and said, pull, Sem ator; pull hard" the harder he pulled, the tigher the grip held the pipe.
 She testified that her Count was no Nazi. What if he was a Ger man. she asked?
 Princess Juliana of Holland is married to 8 German Prince and nobody calls her disloyal," Miss KellemS said.
 15O Letters
 She brought along 150 letters from the Count. She said they'd all been censored once and some twice. She said she didn't mind that but that she certainly did mind somebody in the government slip ping them to Pearson for broadcast ing purposes.
 A fine thing she said, when lady ant get a letter from a boy friend without the whole nation , listening In. Miss Kellefns was ans gry. Sen. McKellar tried to calm her.
 'Dld 1t not occur to you that while your country was at war, you were having a very voluminous cor- respondence with c German, which however, innocent 1t was, might arouse a Just susplcion2" he asked
 That's why I was SO careful what I wrote" Miss Kellems snap- ped. Sen. Mcclellan had his eyef half closed; 6 half smile was on hii lips. "one hundred and fifty letters li A lot Of letters." he said. q don't believe I wrote ib0 letters in all my attempts to got inarFled.s The 73.yearaold senator sighed His eyes went Ali the way shut.

School days are back again
for the thousands of children
throughout Cleveland and
many anxious parents have sent
their youngsters for the first
time to school and kindergar-
ten.
Foremost in the minds of the
mothers and fathers will be the
dangers the children will meet
in crossing the streets. Their
children are the most precious
things in the world to them and
they would gladly sacrifice
their lives to protect. their boy
or girl but nowthey are at the
mercy of others.
The parents are appealing to
every motorist to remember
that the youngsters do not ap-
preciate the dangers of traffic.
Of course they have been
warned to be careful, to watch
for the ears and stay out of the
streets; but sometimes they for
get. Then it's up to you to watch
out for them and save them
from an accident.
For the safety of the children
drive at a moderate speed and
be ontl1e alert to stop should a
child step into the path of your
car. The signs, "SCHOOLA
DRIVE SLOW" mean exactly
what they say. Twenty miles al
hour is the speed limit in pass
ing school grounds but use tht
same caution everywhere wher
you see children on their way
to or from school.
