Newspaper Week" Governor Raymond E. Baldwin Issues Statement in Relation of National Observance
 This Week.

Guaranteed by our constitu. ton, freedom of speech and free. dom of the press are two of the most sacred and cherished Of American freedoms, Therefore, it is only fitting and proper that ats tentlon be called publicly to these two great freedoms by the desig. nation of the week from October 1 to October 6 as National News paper Week,
 The role of newspapers in our every day living n aS varied and aS life Itself. Newspapers record faithfully day in and day out, week in and week out, the events of today that become the history of tomorrow. Without them living would Dc incomplete. There would be no connecting link Of the pres. ent with tho past, nor the present with the future.
 Without newspapers eoiils inunlty, state or nation would Do without means of honest express sion and self-evaluation. The cole ulnnS of the press serve aS a pubs lie record of the joys and sorrows Of . community, It's anxieties and diSappointfnents, and it's problems of mutual concern.
 "The Fourth Estate, aS Mas auiey referred to the press, Is aS much on integral part Of govern. inent as elective officials thein- selves. Representating the public, the press praises or chideS goys crment, presents and explains the functions of government, and keeps It's readers informed about current problems.
 Tn keeping It's readers informed a newspaper coufageously searches for facts, mindful of the truth but unmindfui of the cofls sequences when it is for the pub- lie welfare. Its columns are always open for the reception Of oppoSs

The Prince of the Accordion Dominic Mecca, added
 few score loyal admirers to his already repre- sentative court by his recent appearance as guest artist
 before the KiwaniS Club Dominic played three" num- berS Their titles mean nothing It was in the astery way in which they were interpreted and presented that
 made the Kiwanans wish that the luncheon period was longer and that Dominic would just keep on playing It Is perhaps only coincidence but 1t happened just the same that at the meeting which Dominic featured Pres dent Art Purnton announced his advisory committee for carrying on the clubs plan to foster musical project for promising school youths The members after being re- galed meetings by musical talent have become completely sold" the idea The appearance of Dominic climaxed the period of contemplation and expectation The Kiwanians are now definitely committed to pro- gram of activity that may mean much to Waterbury and Waterbury youths from a musical point of view The Brass City rich in musical talent It also has hundreds of devoted music lovers who support every musical event arranged here If the plan clicks and there IS little doubt but what 1t w1 the KiwanianS will be in position to point with pride to their efforts and sponsorship That chap In the practcng lowing Is none other than Lieutenant John Sweeney who has been directing the guest artist program for the Kiwanans John is brmfu with confidence that the project will be magnificent success He is already casting about for new ideas in the
 line of entertainment for the club He reves in the role Of promoter It must be rebrth of the old Yale spirit that lmpels Brother Sweeney to achievements.

Marengo Sauce for Fricasseed
Chicken Is More Savory
Made With Tomato Soup

"a chicken in every pot" that
promise of spellbinders since the
rule of French Henry the Fourth
is reality today. For we have
chickens a'plenty in the land right
now. Four million more than is the
customary barnyard census for this
time of year.
No political hocus-pocus, but the
industry of our farmers and the
diligence of their hens, produced
this bonanza crop of fryers, broilers,
stewers, roasters. And it's we'll
timed, too. What with good meat
scarce and getting scarcer, we'll be
needing all those hens before the
year is through.
INTENTIONALLY we'll make out Just
as we'll; for chicken about dup
lcates the merits of meat. 1t is rich
in protein, and abounds in ribo-
favin, thiamin, niacin, and IRON
important to our well-being whether
we know precisely what they do for
us or not.
And cooking chicken is no chore
at all-when you balance the work
involved against the pleasure to be
derived from eating. Below, for in
stance, is as savory chicken supper
as was ever set upon your table.
And all you do is brown chicken
briefly in olive oil until it's a light
golden hue. Then simmer for an
hour in a tenderizing, tantalizing
sauce of condensed tomato soup
laced with vinegar, the merest
breath of garlic, and mushroom nub-
bins, cooked or canned.
The other recipes will tempt your
taste buds, too.
