cal "darkey stories" poking fun
at a colored club that dared to
challenge major league compe-

in these channels, a smile

fun at his club for the past four

"Pappy" watched the dipping

that the good natured ball man

ball. For 20 years Foster had
managed duskey ball clubs and
for the same number of years
he had been forced to play sun
down baseball since he had no
choice. Unlike the major leag-
uers, the colored boys had to
work outside the baseball fold
for long hours during the day to
gain a living. "Pappy" worked
too. He and his boys couldn't
devote all their time to base
ball as the white players did.
Colored leagues couldn't guaran-
tee salaries Of five, 10, 20 and
30 thousand and more a year. A
few super stars made money, but
most colored boys played for the
love Of the game. Some travelled
and hit the packpot, but a lot of
others just Travelled; period. Now

Industries AdUised To Further Research
Use of Scientific Institutions Also Urged in Meeting Competition From Other Sections

Providence, Dec. 6-(NEC)-New England industry will continue to lose ground unless it increases it's use of the research personnel and scientific institutions available in this region, Albert E. Marshall, chairman of the Rhode Island divi- sion of the New England Council and president of the Rumford Chemical Company, said here today at the afternoon session of the 1945 New England Credit Conference.
 MT. Marshall former chairman of the New England Councils Re- search Committee, expressed the belief that "the New England states are falling behind in arrang- ing for the forward progress and profitable continuance of their in dustries. Like all generalizations, there are some notable exceptions in the shape of a few companies who have maintained an arterial flow of research and development through all departments of their enterprises. The exceptions, how ever, are not sufficient to maintain New England's prestige as center of the useful manufacturing arts.

 She was a little late in leaving her train and Manville was obvious ly relieved that he hadn't been stood up" The tall English girl slipped up behind him while he was staring sadly at the rapidly empty ing 2Oth Century Limited.
 Gee" Manville cried, and he grabbed her for nasty kiss.
 They did it over again for the photographers and this time Miss Campbell was careful that Tommy's black felt hat didn't obscure her profile.

Aldermen Formally Adopt 1946 Budget
 Threatened Opposition Failed to Develop
 Al Final Hearing; "ThFee" Represent Public

Waterbury's 1946 fiscal budget vii be $6,872,519 promised on tax rate of 28 and three-quarters mills as result of last nights approval given the measure by the Board of Aldermen. The mill-rate is re- duction of 1.T5 from the current rate.
 Preceding formal adoption of the budget the board conducted pub lie hearing which was unattended except by three impassive specta- tors. The Charter mandatory pub lie session then was closed by President Patrick Shea but a mat ter of seconds following his open- ing query.
 Does anyone here have anything to discuss concerning the proposed budget"
 Following respective caucuses Re- publican and Democratic members reconvened and after brief skirm- ishing as to relative merits of cer- tain appropriations, of vote of 13 to 1 gave approval to adoption of the budget, unchanged. Alderman Joseph Reiner (R) was the dis senting voter objecting to the re- fuSal of the Finance Board to vote full payment for clothing equip ment for members of the police de- partment. The latter board voted $4,000 rather than 5000 for pay ment. The policemen will defray half the costs of their respective uniforms.
 A 9 to 5 vote in favor of cost of-living increases for city employees making $5,000 and more was cast despite COP attempts to kill the measure. Aldermen Joseph Har- pin and William Gerardi, both Re- publicans bolted party lines in favor of the measure.
 Absent from the regular session was Alderman Martin Sullivan (D) who was dropped from the party slate in the recent election Absent for the public hearing but present for the vote on the budget was Alderman Edward Rafferty CD.
 Alderman Richard Benson (R) led the attack on the cost of living proposal, which in original form specifies that all employees whose salaries are affixed by Charter shall receive this bonus.
 IAr. Bensen attempted to limit the payment to those who earned under
