ments on the principals Of these bonds
will not start until 1949, after con-
servancy debts have been paid and
other debts greatly reduced. Actually,
these bond issues could provide all
these improvements, these new jobs
and civic progress, and taxes will be
a lot less than they are now. This is
a real bargain-improvements all over
the city, safer places for our children
to play, chances for new plants and
new homes to come to Hamilton, new
jobs-at not a cent more in taxes
than you pay now. All that is needed is
the vote of each and every Hamilton
resident for the issues. A vote for the
bond issues is vote for jobs and pro-
gress. Your taxes won't be more when
you vote for the bond issues"

thousands Of war victims in that coun-
try, said the report.

For Jobs and Progress

"F'or Jobs and Progress" is the slo-
gan of the newly organized United
Citizens Committee which started a
campaign this week to win approval of
Hamilton voters for the three bond is
sues to be submitted in the November
6 election.
The bond issues, for total expendi-
ture of S2,676,O90, will provide city
wide improvements in sewage disposal,
parks and recreation and incineration
Of garbage and refuse. Of this amount,
$2,131,7 700 is to provide Hamilton with
a modern sewage treatment and dis
posal plant; $439, 1890 is to improve and
expand the city park system; and
$105,000 is to be used in erection of an
adequate incinerator for the city's dis
posal of garbage.
Robert j. Brown has been named
Chairman of the committee, with
Robert K. Stevenson serving as Vice
Chairman. Murray S. Stephens is serv-
ing as executive director of the cam
paign with Robert Wulff arranging
details and appointments of speak
ers bureau, which will furnish speak
ers on the issues without charge to any
organization in the city. Headquarters
of the committee is 828 Rentschler
Building, telephone 678.
''In reality, the bond program means
the difference between Hamilton
standing still and gradually stagnat-
ing and a march of the city toward
progress, growth and expansion" Mr.
Brown said.
"First and foremost, we must pro-
vide jobs for our returning veterans
and displaced war workers. Secondly
we must expand our sewage system sc
we can bring more plants here with
their new jobs and new money. We also
must expand these sewers SO that we
can build more homes for our people
Our parks and Fairgrounds must be
improved and expanded to give all OF
us opportunities for good healthful
recreation In doing all of these things
we get these advantages for ourselves
and our children and, at the same time
create lot of jobs that we need fol-
veterans and war-workers.
"The beautiful part of this question
is that we can do all these things anC
get all these advantages without rails
ing our present taxes one penny. Pay

 Something new and surprising in tit-fortat guest appearances was the unexpected eXcnange of radio visits by Abbott and Costello and Rudy Vallee, last week.

 This is one of the facts brought to light on the behind-the-scene CBS series, The FBI in Peace and War, produced by Max Marcin. According to Frederick l.. Collins, whose book of the same name forms the basis for the exciting series, the FBI prepared, as result of long study and against background of long experience in Investigating peacetime crimes committed in in- duStrial plants a booklet of Sugges- tionS which have proved invaluable to some 25,000 war production ex- ecutiVes.
