CALLS ATTENTION OF
VETS TO PROSPECTIVE
NEED IN PROFESSIONS

DR.. D. H. McCauley, Montana
state chairman, dental, for the of
flee of emergency management,
War Manpower commission, is in
receipt of a statement reciting the
"Need for Additional Physicians
and Dentists"
The statement says that less than
half of the $4,000 additional ply
sicians needed after the war will
be available and that the shortage
of dentists is also alarming because
the number of dental graduates in
the U. S. decreased nearly % per
cent during the 80 years preceding
World war H..
"The shortage of physicians and
dentists during recent years, par
ticularly the last four, has meant
that for a large part of the civilian
medical and oral care
and treatment has been less than it
should have been. Unless a suffi-
cient number of students enter pre-
and prudential classes in the
next year or so, there will be a
severe shortage of graduates in the
early 1950s to replace those lost
through death and retirement.

 Here's what the plane and boat fancier from the Elm City had to say about Hank and his horse CD:
 "One who was caught mapping by the lifting of the ban was William P. (Hank) O'Donnell, the gentle man farmer, volunteer fireman, board of education member, and civic leader of Litchfield (and also sports ed of the Waterbury Repuo- lican).

TRIBES, AvIGS SET EARLY PAGE
 IN CITY LOOP

As expected by most competent observers, Tribune A. c. and Ham den provided the best of three City Amateur League baseball games Sunday at Hamilton Park; though, for the second rainy Sunday in suc- cession, all games scheduled were completed, while the scheduled Municipal Stadium contest involving the Brasscos and New London Coast Guard Dolphins was called off.
 Tribunes knocked off Hamden Townies on four-hit pitching by Pezzulo; while Aviglianese AC de- lending champs and the local Aerie of Eagles were surprisingly easy winners over Branford and the Washington Hills. Avigs won l0-l from the shore line club in six innings; while Eagles clawed the Hills 15-2 over the full g inning dis tance; Pat Cutters batters getting 2 hits off Gerry Flood. Lefty Laur- endeau of Bristol and Shorty" Els enlohr of New Haven hit A for s to get 8 of the IS Eagle hits off Sgt Ralph Bradley, on the mound for the Washington Hills.
 Steady Scores
 Aviglianese got all their runs ir three consecutive innings, starting with two in the second, two more in the third and six in the big fourth Inning against Branford whose batters were held to three hits by Teddy Grabeck, on "loan' from the Davi Brasscos, when the latter club was washed out of { game at the stadium. Al Mont turned in a man-sized job for th< Avigs with "4 for 4" hitting .100( and batting in two runs.

park for every service game. And the 100-mile radius restriction (al- most committing distance) would prevent any burdens being placed upon our national transportation arteries.
 We believe that the World Series should be preserved in some man. ner because it is the big bullseye at which every Major League club aims throughout the season. Series gold and series glory are goals that stimulate keenest rivalry not only among players, but also among owners. Financial rewards from 8 series-dispersed to the first four clubs in each league-help to keep the game honest.
 The series can be retained, and thousands of service people can be entertained-all for IS cents: the cost of hot dog.
