 the nation.
 Much credit is also due to the industrial workers who responded so generously as in past drives, through the payroll deduction program to the Merchants division schools, and other organizations, who have staffed Victory house.
 Determined to Keep Record Tn conclusion, MT. Moran, who has headed the past seven war loan drives in this city, asserted: Tt seems at this stage in the campaign that Waterbury is determined to maintain the splendid record 1t has established in all previous drives, and it seems very likely that the city will go over the top before Dec. 8 the final day of the drive.'
 The colorful Coast Guard band The Sea-Landers, will be feature attraction when the technicolo1 movie, '"The Spanish Main" is shown to bondbuyers at the State theater next Tuesday evening. The . movie, "Too Young to Know" was previously scheduled.
 Miss Julia Smith, who is in charge of the theater presentation point ed out that the Sea-Lander band is considered one of the finest bands to come to Waterbury in many years and the technicolor movie has attracted record breaking crowds in cities where it has been shown. The band, under the direc- tion of It. Charles Messer, will pre- sent an entertaining program of song, dances and skits.
 Orchestra seats will be given to purchasers of $1OO and $200 bonds, first balcony seats to buyers of $50 bonds, second balcony to buyers of $25 bonds. Loges will be reserved for those who buy $500 and $1,000 bonds. Tickets may be obtained at any theater, she said.

 meeting of the Board of Aldermen. The latter will convene in a special meeting tonight for purposes. only. of approving and adopting the mo- ton that the budget, as declared by the Finance Board, now be present. ed for printing bids. There is little likelihood of the proposed appropri- ations and approvals being altered by the aldermen.
 New additions to the proposed 1946 budget consist of allocation of reserve funds in amount of 0,622 to meet the city's pension commit ments. This figure is almost dou- ble the 1945 appropriation for the same contingency. The 1946 estimate is equivalent to 1.13 mills as based on the 92 percent estimate of the Grand List, by which 'yardstick" the city must, under law, compute its anticipated appropriations.
 Education Leads Requests
 Also to be included are pay raises for certain privates of both the Po- lice and Fire departments as ap- proved by Commissioners of both departments on Wednesday.
 Largest departmental requests ap- proved by the board today are: De- partmet of Education, $2,OO2, 900. an increase of $53,OOO over the cur rent appropriation; Police Depart ment, $559,000, a $26,0OO reduction over the 1945 budget; Fire Depart ment, $667, 900, $33, GOO drop from this year, and Public Works and Welfare Departments each of which will receive $646,0Oo and $242, 900, respectively.
 Much of the new anticipated sur- plus results from the favorable tax collection record of the city dur ing 1945. For example, MT. F'urlong has pointed out, as of Oct. 31, the tax department had taken in $5,- 147,907, in current general taxes, which amounts to an over-collec- tion of $2O1 ,908 against the previ- ous years estimates on this rev. enue.
 Delinquent tax collections have proven profitable during 1945 with $145 900 in as of Nov. 15.
 While the one and one-quarter tax mill reduction will be welcomed by city taxpayers, general con- senSus among authorities and tax payers is that numerous complaints and lawsuits will result because of the new evaluation.
 The latter, now being undertaken, by the firm of George Horan, Inc, is expected to double the present property assessments of many in- dividual private property owners In other cases reductions on the same scale will be effected. How ever, neither the increases or de- creases have been divided into re- spective categories for an across the-line evaluation.
 Anticipate LitigatiOns
 MT. Jenks, in his recent appear ance before the Finance Board stated that he anticipated possible litigation concerning about $5,OO0,- 900 of the anticipated Grand List increase of $2O,O0O,OOO. It also was stated that the $20, 100000 estimate is conservative at this time ano may even be higher once the evalu- ation has been finished and fina, analysis determined.
 Also approved by the board wa the allocation of $6,750 in the gen. eral fund and $50 in the watel fund for payment of the $500 cos of living bonus to employees whose salaries are set by charter. T,his same bonus has already been made a permanent part of the salarie: of other city employees. However

Sheriff Sawyer directed Dep

the workmen was trying to TO-
ment trouble, and, if it was con-
sidered sufficient to take him into
custody, to arrest him on a charge
of vagrancy.

been trying to persuade Other
workmen to join him in a walk

ADDRESSES LIONS
SEVERAL GUESTS IN ATTEND.
ANCE AT MEETING
LAST EVENING

Chaplain Will Mathis Dunn,
USN, made the chief address at
the Lions Club dinner-meetins
last. night. Subject of his talk was
the need3of embracing the Chris
tfan faith by the people of the
world as the only means of OBJ
tanning a lasting peace.
Bullets can't be fought with
ideals, nor ideals fought with
bullets" said the chaplain,
ideals must be fought with
ideals and bullets with bullets.
The modern world has assumed
we are here for a limited time
and that, regardless of our en-
deavors. we must again succumb
to the darkness after a more or
less number of years.
THAT is all wrong; we must
remember that our Savior gave
his life for us that we should
have everlasting life, and we
must so mold our lives that the
people of the world will look to
America for spiritual leadership.
The U. S. is the greatest country
in the world; we should be proud
Of this fact, we should live so
that it will always be the same. "
Guests included prisoners of
war in Germany, Leo Jack Cruz
and Jack r. Hyman, Jr. Other
guests were Gonzalo Bezanilla,
Jr., Leo Weisenfluh and r. c.
Hickcn.
Allan Hampton informed the
club that the sale of tickets for

show Saturday was progressing
very successfully.

member of the local club. He

Representative Papy said this

tion is deplorable in taxpayers
having to pay an aggregate of
$4,000 every day the legislature is
deadlocked by the north Florida
senate majority, yet the money
lost by the legislator themsel-
YES daily is far in excess of that
amount.
1T is costing every legislator

probably are losing the most. l
am urgently needed in my
business in Key West, and the
same thing applies to other legis-
lators, whether they are business
or professional men, but those. of

against what we know to be right
and just and fair, are determin-
eddy sticking it out to the bitter
end. and we will continue to do
so in the event we do not recess
next week till 1947.

stitution says we should do, and

THE PRIVATE WAR OF GEN. BRADLEY

once rebuked the war correspond
ents for not keeping a closer eye
on Bradley. He's the brains of
this army" Gen. Ike said. And
the boys found out he meant it.
At the time, Gen. Bradley was
mapping out the Normandy
breakthrough that led to the COL
lapse of the Germans in the west.
Through most of that cam
raign he was chained to his desk
an executive - directing the
operations of three armies total
ing a million men. The ramifica-
tons of VA, as multitudinous as
they are, can be no more COM
rlex than those he already has
met and mastered.
Gen. Bradley leads a Spar
tan daily life. Like President
Truman he's a $50 riser and a
tireless worker. His So years rest
lightly on him. He once was de-
seribeds as having ''tlie stride. en-
ergy and bearing of a well-built
farmboy." His tastes and pleas
ures are as simple as if he had
never moved away from Mobcr-
ly, Mo. ..-
Those who have been with him
IN this war say few men of rank
command such loyalty from those
who work under them. He is
quick to reward merit and pa
tlent only up to a point with in
competence. Moreover, they say,
he's almost famous for ignoring
Army politics. If he can do all
that in recognizing VA. he will
have won another major cam
Eaign.
