Postmaster Gives Advice Suggests Use of
 Scent Stamps
 or Greetings

Postmaster Charles A. Babm to- day urged that all Christmas greet ing cards bear three-cent stamps. since the use of third class mail privileges, or one and a half-cent stamps, does not offer directory service.
 Because of the war and housing shortage which exists throughout the country, more families nave changed addresses than previously the postmaster explained, and 1t Is imperative, to assure delivery, that three-cent stamps be used for both local and out-of-town addresses, When addresses on such first class mail cannot be found, postal clerks trace addresses through use of city directories. This service is not pro vided by the use of one and a hall cent stamps, and mail bearing the low-cost stamp is destroyed.
 During wartime Christmas sea- sons when widespread disruption ot families existed as it does today, thousands of costly greeting cards were thrown into incinerators, the postmaster said, simply because sui ficient postage to assure delivery had not been used Christmas greeting cards should also bear zone numbers, he emphasized.

C. o. ?. Likely To Question 1946 Budget
 Uniforms for Policemen
 May Be Issue

Waterbury's proposed 1946 budget of $6,872,519 slated for public hear ing by the Board of Aldermen to- night at D. m. is expected to meet with final approval without too much objection, it was indicated to- day.
 Republican board members, in general, today expressed their ten dency to pass approval on the bud get despite assertations by Alder man Richard Bensen, COP town committee that the many members will dispute certain proposals.
 These include the proposed $500 annual cost of living bonus for city employees whose salaries are set by Charter. This does not necessarily mean those whose salaries exceed $5,000 as stated elsewhere. Some of these employees whose salaries are affixed receive as low as $500 but do not benefit from the bonus. On the other hand some employees whose salaries range around S4,800 have been receiving this bonus for the past three years because their salaries are not affixed by Charter.
 Also likely to be presented on the floor tonight as Republican ob- jection will be that of Joseph Reiner (R); Wno favors the restoring of the original proposed appropriation of $8000 to defray costs of full uni forms for members of the Police Department. The Finance Board cut this item to $4,000 so that members must purchase half of their uni forms and the city the other half.
