Meot Still Big Problem For Dealers
 Shortage Reported
 In Several Lines

Although rationing of meats, fats, and butter was ended, local retail CTS today reported shortage" still continues in view of the increased demands and the "choosiness" of customers
 Beef supplies were described as low; considering the excessive de- mands of housewives, who today planned to serve big steak dinners or roast beef
 Supplies of butter, vegetable shortcomings, and fats were also re- ported to be low. Many retailers were reported to be blaming limita- tions on sne amount sold to each customer.
 Poultry was reported plentiful, and an increase in pork supplies was anticipated early next month.
 The OPA meanwhile asked ration boards to stay on the job in order to hold the present price-line and prevent imitation. The government agency also announced that all sus- pensions of meat rationing rights of dealers were automatically lifted by the termination of ,rationing.

 Dr. John G. Gilmartin, superin- tendent of schools, who could not be reached today, has repeatedly, in the past, expressed himself along the same lines of urging cooperation on the part of the parents.
 Expensive and rare Shrubbery in city parks has been uprooted and trampled upon, 1t has been reported by Park Superintendent James J. Curtin.
 Such practices are disgraceful and discouraging," MT. Curtin stated today. T cannot believe that parents are aware their children are guilty of such acts or else they would take some means to prevent repetition. I urge them to investigate any pos sibility of their children being guilty"
 Tn addition to damage done to windows, more recent vandaliStic practice Is that of tearing up bun- dles of daily newspaper of the Wa terbury Democrat and American News carriers find their bundles con- taining route papers torn open and scattered around the streets.
 Connecticut Light & Power Go. officials report the continuance of the practice of smashing street lights, particularly those in the out lying streets.
 During the past six weeks damage to windows in Leavenworth high school amounted to $933.62 while that to Mulcahy grammar school totaled $660. Other school damages for the same period were: East Farms, $3827; Barnard, $32.10: Or onoke, $1l.37; Merriman, $15.48; Sprague, $9314: Begnal, $1769 and Maloney, $129.34. Damage to the Chase Park house amounted to $37.17.
 Budget transfers effected by the board of finance during 1945 to de- fray costs of repairs to school win dows alone were: January, $1 ,000; June, $500; October, 5000 and November, $1,200. It may be neces- sary, before the close of the year, to transfer an additional amount as the appropriation has now been re- duced to balance of $125.

Democratic leaders in Waterbury aaever did get around to compiling some facts for the recent campaign which some of them wanted to use. They wanted to retort to Republican charges of length of time in office. Mayor Monagan, for example, has held this position since January, d943, previously serving as President, Board of Aldermen, from January l, a940. City Clerk Joseph Shea took Dfiice In 1940 so did City Treasurer Berge A. Belanger, Tax Collector Aumbert Mangini, and City Sheriff Clem Briotti. Controller Neil Ma loney went into office in January, 1943. Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin took office in January, 1888, while Registrars of Voters Al Taller and John T. Derwin assumed their off, cial titles two years previous. There are any number of city employees who have had tenure of 8 great many years, but 1t might be difficult to say that they were either Dem- ucrats or Republicans.
 As usual of recent years Chair
 man Maurice F. Tangney and
 Secretary Treasurer Neil Maloney
 brought the Democratic Party through the current election cam
 paign with . substantial balance
 in the treasury. The reports filed
 on Wednesday of this week show
 cd Democrats with about $S,OOO
 left over after all bills had been
 paid and the Republicans with a
 deficit of just about the same
 amount. However the Democrats
 spent twice as much as the Re-
 publicans to win the election
 whereas the Republicans collect
 ed about one-fourth of the Dem
 Ocratic campaign fund. At the
 rate of expenditures shown 1t
 cost the Democrats slightly more
 than $1 per vote to bring out 16.-
 7S9 electors, while Republicans got
 out 13,4S5 electors for slightly
 more than $4,00O, which Is about
 B Is cents per vote.
 Other than the perennial ques- ton of providing more wages the biggest problem ahead for Water bury's municipal fathers is setting up the new pension plan. Under terms of the 1945 act Mayor Mon- agan is charged with the job of creating a pension board, which may Or may not be plum" probably won't be. The Controller is mem- Der by virtue of office: there will be an aldermanl there will be city employe of five years standing; there will be two electors outside the city government. No pay provision s provided in the act for these members and presumably the bur- den of pension work will be trans ferred to the Department of the Controller. And there undoubtedly will be rush of applications for pen sions after the first of the year. duo to provisions calling for almost au- toma&ic retirement when a certain age limit is reached. For some few 1oanths the board should be one of the busiest in the municipal set-up.

Reduction of the city's tax rate From 30 to 28.75 mills by the Board Sf Finance won't prove too much to khe average citizen until he gets his tax-bill next year Or he may figure put what 1t will be when he gets notice to the effect that his property assessment has been changed. It Would be logical to assume that with A general $25 100000 increase in the krand list, there are bound to be kreat many individual increases which won't be liked. In some cases khe decreased tax rate may help, but An others 1t won't be sufficient to bring about lower tax bill. During he recent campaign COP spokes- men argued that despite Democra- lie claims of lowering the tax rate khe city's taxes had gone up. That's uuite true and probably there will Be a considerable rise for some time ko come. The rising cost of living can't be denied by any municipality and Waterbury will have to follow the national trend, which right now looks of is 1t would be upward.

  Passing

Quite a bit was said after the re- cent city election over defections in Democratic ranks in what have long been regarded as their strongholds. Mention was made in COP com- ments of the manner in which the district in which Foley's veranda Is located had gone back on the Dem oerats. This was very much in error as the Democrats carried District 6-l, which comprises the section from South Elm street up through the Abrigador, by exactly 400 votes. In the 1944 presidential race the Democrats carried the same district by All votes. In 1943 Mayor John s. Monagan took the district by 30l votes. In 1922 it went Democratic by $50 votes. The late Vincent Scul- ly took the district in 1941 by 4O4 votes and that year he won by al- most 1000 votes throughout the en- tire 32 districts. All of which would seem to indicate that the Demo- crats did as good as usual there this year, if not somewhat better.

And this, too, despite the fact that everything was set, according to political reports, for Demo cratic sOme-uppance in District 5-1, which is the hOme-district of Alderman Martin F. Sullivan, de- posed this year by his party in favor of John J. Rock, who like wise resides in the district. Neither the Independent-D Democratic vote nor the activities of friends of MT. Sullivan changed the outcome, which may prove that perhaps the latter didn't desert the party after all, but went along as regulars or that their strength was not as great as Republicans tried to point out 1t would be.

. McKENNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority
(This is one of series of hands from the recent worlds championship Masters Individ- ual tOurnamcnt.)

Mrs. Helen Sobel, the worlds out standing woman bridge player, said she thought todays hand was the most interesting of the tournament, as it provided very unusual play. She said that while most pairs that got to six no trump went down, the hand could undoubtedly be made if, after winning the opening spade lead with the jack, the ace and king of hearts were cashed
 This shows the bad heart break. Now a small club should be led to the dummy and at this point, the six of diamonds played from dummy
 It is doubtful that East would jump in with the queen. Naturally, he would figure that for six no trump. South should have the king of diamonds.
 But if East fails to go in with that queen of diamonds. you can see what happens: East is going to be forced to make discard on the fourth club and on the third spade and will not be able to protect both the queen of diamonds and the hearts

Lemons For Wor-Tine PIutters

6y DE EIII bRhCEAf
 There will be many a platter dinner this year - with little or no meat displayed With millions of war gardens, these platter din ners will multiply as more and more homegrown vegetables ma ture.
 Touch up your platters with lemon juice and lemon garnishes. Many vegetables necd this flavor. Then again. the lemon helps fur nish that necessary daily quota of vitamin c.
 A delicious platter consists oi buttered lima beans, corn on the cob, baked squash stuffed with ground meat, and spinach, liberally garnished with lemon. Serve with bread or rolls. A tall ice-cold glass of lemonade fits right into a meal of this type and in fact is splen' did beverage for regular service with warm weather meals.
 That's only a suggestion. Vary your vegetables as your own garden permits. Cook vegetables the shortest time possible in order to retain vitamins and minerals as we'll as flavor. Serve them as soon as cooked.

TOO SENTIMENTAL

And so is a defeated and captured Nazi Nazi still. Let's hope that our sentimental pity for anything caught or captured won't let us for get that or start talking about compassion and fair play.
 An American editor, back from a tour of German concentration camps, has declared that the whole German people should be held res ponsible for war atrocities, and thta until we have eliminated the German general staff, We are going to have the seeds of another war.
 Undoubtedly that is a hard-head- ed, practical, sane view of the mat ter. But vii we carry it through we, a people who can be so senti- mental and forgiving that We worry over what becomes of captured rat?

Nurse PW Tells How Diet Affects Hair and Skin
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

When skin is dry, rough or bumpy and hair refuses to snap back at your brush-or worse still, falls out-an Army nurse home after two and half years Japanese im- prisonment says that you might well turn a suspicious eye upon your diet.
 It. Rita Palmer, A. N. C., of Boston, Mass, claims that near starvation diet in Manila's Santo Tomas Internment Camp caused her skin to grow dryer by degrees, and to break out with sub-surface bumps; that her hair first lost its electricity and then much of it came out. During the latter months of confinement, she and 67 other Army nurses lived on a mere sub- sistence diet of rice, mush, carabao milk, gravy made of talinum (greenS indigenous to the Philip pineS), and soybean huskS from which the Japanese extracted the principal nutrients before this pro- tein food was given to prisoners.
 Liberated prisoners were put back on a balanced diet to supply all body requirements, in particular one which stepped up intake of Vita min A and the Vitamin B family, so necesstary to the health and beauty of skin and hair A few weeks of proper nurture, It. Palmer says, cleared up her skin and fed growth of new hair
 Now" she said beaming and lingering luxuriant new curls, my hair showers electrical sparks like Fourth of July display when it , tangleS with my brush
 You who take your cosmetics for granted should listen to the tales of deprivations told by It. Palmer. When limited cold cream supplies disappeared, smelly coconut oil was used in the hope that fabrication would do it's bit to allay dryness of starved skins. Rags used to roll up hair which had long ago lost its permanent wave were looked after as Watchfully as you guard bobby pins-rags were THAT scarce. Soap was so scarce that clothes had to be washed over and over in clear water to loosen up dirt before pre- cious suds were applied
 When rumors spread that the Americans were coming, all lip stick remnants which had been hoarded by individual owners were pooled, melted down and mixed with lard so as to give every girl a red badge of courage to wear on her lips.
 Out of prison and free to finger in Honolulu, Rita Palmer says one of her greatest thrills after hbera- tion was the visit to the powder room of the Service Women's Gen. ter where she sat down in front of dressing table and gave herself the first complete beauty treatment in 30 months.

without any lovable or redeemhg qualities - it seems as though he might use any method possible to get rid of them.
 But a rat tied up-in the senti- mental American mind - isn't a rat at all. but a fellow creature that deserves fair play and a sport ing chance.
 That kind of sentimental bosh makes us lose sight of the fact that a rat, trapped, is just rat - and what becomes of him doesn't mat ter, so long as he isn't allowed to live and reproduce his kind.
