ChriStn1aS Shopping Appears Promising
 Early Survey of Conditions, MeVehundise Basis of Optimistic Predictions

With Q thankful Waterbury rec joioing In the return of peace on earth, and thousands of families once again happily reunited, local merchants are preparing for one of the biggest Christmas shopping seasons in the history of the city,
 It is true that, the lavish spend- ing of wartime years will be con- siderably curtailed by the cessa- ton of wartime salaries, yet in- dications already point to the fact that more gifts will be bought for more people. By the time the hoh. days roll around, 1t Is expected that some 4,000 servicemen will have returned to celebrate Christ mas at their own fireside. 1t is also pointed out that there will be Q greater incentive to give now that the strain aEd hardships of war are no longer realities, but part of the pest which Americans are do. sirous of putting behind them.
 Current Shortages
 Though merchandise Is still cur tailed by wartime shortages, the is46 Yuletide market will be Q bright and pleasing ono In com- parlson with those of the past three years, according to 0 survey made yesterday by The Democrat.
 Nylon hose, sledS, scooter, radios, electric trains will be available in small lots, but other gift items ap. pear to be of better quality and better workmanship than any since i0li.
 That necessity is the mother of invention and the American crafts men have learned how to fashion quality goods with substitutes Is manifested by the stocks now cur" rently on display,
 Handbags, for instance, are far more attractive than previously, Tortoise shell and plastic clasps are interestingly wrought. wooden toys are far more substantial, as are many more Items made Of sub- stitutes for war-scarce metals.

With many reconVerslon dlfIlculties still hampering the flow of poacetime goods shortages will continue in many lines retailers repaorted.

 JewelFy Ever Popular
 And unqueStionably jewelry big ger and more elaborate than ever will be the leader In wor1on's gifts, Many of the speciality shops arc now carrying ten.earat gold jewel. ry.

With this costly lesson In mod ern warfare digested, the 44th be- gan slow advance through Alsace. Lorraine. On Nov. 26, battalion Of the 44th earned a citation for es. pecially distinguished action by pre- venting the enemy from break. through in the sector north Of schalbeck, France. General Patch later credited this action with sav- ing the entire Seventh Army.
 By December, the 44th was thor" oughly battle-wise and 1t had begun it's onslaught against the Maginot Line. Again the 44th bore the brunt of the enemy attack. But the divi- sion had learned it's lesson well-in turning back some 20 determined counter blows in force, the 44th ac- counted for 5000 enemy casualties.
 From here on, the 44th enjoyed comparatively it's positions below the Saar during January. and in March was relieved after IA days of combat.
 Returning to battle, the 44th rolled deep into Europe, crossing the Rhine, capturing Mannheim and smashing into the Austrian Tyrol. On V-E Day, the 44th was firmly entrenched at Inlst. Austria, and on that day the division made contact with the Fifth Army coming up from Italy.

 The old lady broke down. The sudden relief was too much for her. She got out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes and blew her nose hard. Then she regained control of her emotions and began to express her delight:
