towns who have had such expert" enceS and charged that the scholas. tic standing of the high schools showed a decidedly low average.
 The average taxpayer, that while they believe implicitely in economy. asks why should the board of edu- cation use such drastic measureG to pinch penny" the education of our boys and girls? With the world in such turmoil now, we would all like to feel that our children were taken care of both physically and mentally.
 Another member of the club brought out the fact that our High Schools here are not producing the students for the past few years that we hoped for and so much dissatis- faction has been shown in their re- port cards. their parents where they could afford to do so, have sent their children to private schools in the hopes their schooling would be brought up to standard.
 All this gives one the impression. we are bending over backwards to economize". Of course there is a happy medium even in education.
 The Club still feels something could be done to all concerned whereby with the passage of two or three years, Mulcahy School will be needed in this section of the city. All the people in Waterbury don't own cars to take their youngsters couple of miles for education-or pay their fus fares either. We have come a long way from the pioneer days where Abe Lincoln and our forefathers travelled miles and miles to school. However, the club ex- poets to hear further from the May or, and are In hopes the school could be rented temporarily for something useful until such time as it's use for which it was first built will come to pass.
 The Club also voted to give a do- nation to the Red Cross Drive in the amount of 5000.
 A communication was read from the office of Civilian Defense-re- garding the old clothing drive to be held between April 1st and 18th. The club will have a committee working to bring in the clothing from anyone who notifies them of having some to pick up.

Poor Digestion? tt t :;
 neadachy? % Sour or Upset? % Jired.listIess? O0

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract ndigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Livef Pills as directed. Get them ct any drugstore. Only 25s.

 The senate committee went ahead with its investigation amid these other food developments:
 1. The house decided to investl- gate the food situation on its own and created special seven-nan committe to do so.
 2. Rep. John D. Dingell, D., Mich, introduced bill to put black mar keteers in prison.
 3. The National Farmers union said 1t believed the War Food Ad- ministration should buy up the na- tion's meat supply and alot 1t equitably among civilians, armed forces and needy allies.
 4. GAP granted price increases on pork sold to the government and VITA ordered 30 per cent of the 1945-46 canned fish supply set aside for government purchase, thereby probably slicing the civilian share by l20 ,000 900 pounds.
 The senators tried to find out about the black market. One meat industry representative said 1t was rampant. Another described 1t aS extensive. But none of the meat men present said they could be specific.
 Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, remarked that they reminded him of "the fellows who wouldn't tell on their bootleggers."
 Finally, Committee Chairman Elmer Thomas. D., Okla. picked up his afternoon paper and read into the record an account Uf 8 meat easy operating only 12 blocks from the White House.
 It was written by United Press Correspondent Frederick c. Oth- man.
 Now" Thomas said to the meat men, it is obvious that your or. ganization knows something about the black market"
 Meat men told the senators that once honest meat dealers had gone into the black market because OPA regulations wouldn't let them make money.

 The Canadian First and the Al- lied First Alrborne Army were fused with the United British Second and American Ninth Armies in the breakthrough in the north.
 Brilliant Sunshine
 The advance was going ahead in brilliant sunshine that promised to bring thousands of Allied war planes down on the fleeing enemy.
 In Berlin, German propagandists appealed almost hysterically to their battered armies to turn and fight. The Nazis called for super human" resistance to stem the Anglo-American sweep and warned their people that loss Of the peace would be worse than war"
 We will not give in," one Berlin spokesman declared. We remain hard and are fighting for our life with fanatical rage"
 Everywhere the Germans were abandoning towns and villages. with vast quantities of arms and ammunition, to the advancing AL lies.
 Simultaneously, the American Third rmy was plunging deep into ETanconia in southwestern Ger many menacing the entire south Grn wing of the demoralized NaZI Hrlnies. The Third Army was bat" ting through the streets of Frank furt and Hanau, 6 12 miles to the east, and it's racing tank columns were advancing north of the Main River toward a new juncture with the First Army.
 The German high command said the Americans were across the Main River at another point 45 miles east of Frankfurt and were rolling ahead beyond Gemuenden. The drive apparently was headed for the great ball-bearing factory city of SchWeinfurt, 25 miles east of Gemuenden, where the U. s. Eighth Air Force fought one of Its bloodiest air battles in the early days of the war.
 The Frankfurt airfield, second largest in Germany, was reported in American hands today.
 North of Frankfurt, the First Army was off on 8 free swinging tank drive that front correspond ents described as one of the great est concentrated armored offen- sives in history.
 The advance carried across the I.ahn River on broad front and threatened momentarily to break into the big highway center of Giessen. Early today the Amer jeans were less than three miles from the city after capturing Wetz- lar, Aeven miles to the west.
 At the same time, the American Seventh Army armor swept 26 miles along the Third Armys southern flank that carried to the Main river 35 miles east of the Rhine and about the @ame dist ance southeast of Frankfurt.
 Arfnored spearheads of both American armies were operating un- der a partial security blackout be- cause of the almost. complete de- moralization of the German forces before them. At last official re- ports the First Army was more than 50 m1les past the Rhine and It. Gen. George s. Patton's Third Army tanks were about the same distance beyond the river.
 Authoritative Allied reports and alarmed German broadcastS, how ever, made 1t clear that Patton's men at least were anywhere from 90 to 100 miles east of the Rhine and going fast in a multi-pronged drive headed toward the Nazi shrine city Nuremberg in the south and F'ulda in the north.
