 TerryviIIe Seeks
 District in Future
By J. FRANCIS RYAN

Terryville, Dec. William s. Wise, chief engineer of the State Water Commission and Warren J Scott, director of the bureau of san. itary engineering of the State De- partment of Health, have recom- mended that the Town of Plymouth appropriate money for a survey as the starting point for setting up a sewer district.
 Selectman William EuStice said the survey was discussed by MT. Wise and MT. Scott at a meeting this week with the Plymouth Sewer Committee. The latter group was appointed at the annual town meet ing with the hope of starting the movement to get Terryville a sewer system.
 A special town meeting will be called in the near future to put the matter before the voters. MT. Wise and MT. Scott also have recom- mended that the town introduce a bill into the 1947 session of the Gen. eral Assembly in Hartford for ap- proval to sell bonds to finance the project.
 Although no survey has been made at the present time tentative estimate to construct the sewer sys- tenn has been set at $350,000.

never interest ourselves in their welfare. But when they die, we rush over to the undertaker's mortuary and sometimes we actually sob" After all, it is the family Kin who really sob; their hearts are broken and they mourn for their dear ones for long time after Death.
 Deaths Touch
 We were at the Fruin funeral; we saw some ElkS present, but not many; we saw one or two pro- fessional men, but that was about all. Still Dr. Fruin was 8 profes- sional man; furthermore he was born in Waterbury. Perhaps the fact that all of the old families of the West End are nearly gone ac- counts i'll way for the lack of funeral attendance.
 Death-Death-Death
 Beware of the simple touch on the ear, an advance warning that the old grave digger is watching and on the alert for the next one selected to corral his services.

BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Dec. 2. (UP)-Better start cussing the Government now for the prediction that you, per sonally, will provide free meals for next summers moSquitoS.
 This is because of the price of steel ingots. Why the Government and I always get mixed up in prob lens like this I don't know, but: You can hear those moSquitos now, -buzzing through your new, postwar screen door with it's spe- cial welcome mat built in for bugs.
 These mosquitoes needn't be ath- leteS. They need not be brainy. Any dopey mosquito, according to Rob- ert A. Seidel, can stroll through your new screens and go chomp- chomping on your ankles.
 Scratch Out Facts
 He planes the OPA, which has been blamed for so many things, except insect welts, that it has lost count. Let's zee if we can scratch out the facts:
 Seidel is vice-president of the w. T. Grant Company, which runs 49O stores across the country. That oualifies him as a leading screen door merchant He's in town to complain to an assortment of Con- gressional committees about how he believes the OPA Is forcing people to buy things they don't want, in cluding screens that don't block bugs. ,
 Now we have to get a little tech nical. Seidel ordered up from the biggest screen manufacturer III Cleveland a couple hundred thou sand yards of 16-mesh screening.
 That means there are 16 strands of wire going in both directions to every square inch of screen. This makes small, square holes through which no mosquito, no matter now hungry, can walk without leaving a leg behind. This statistic, Seidel said, is a matter of scientific fact. It's got to be 164mesh screen, or mosquito sneers at it.
 One Up, One Down
 The Cleveland man said he hated to turn down good customer, but the price of steel had gone up, while the price of screen had stayed down. He said that under OPA price orders on 16-mesh screen, he'd lose 40 cents on every hundred square feet. So he's not making any.
 "You mean there's going to be no screening?" demanded Rep. Francis Walter of Pa., who has a tender skin.
 "Oh now" said Seidel, T don't mean that at all. The OPA told the screen maker that it price was set on 16-mesh screen, but that if he produced a different product, then of course it would give him a different price
 That's where the itch comes in. The screen man now is preparing specifications on IA by 18 mesh screen. There'll be IA strands going one way and IS the other.
 Undesirable to People
 50 this will be new product" Seidel said. The manufacturer will be given his new price, and every body, including the mosQuitos. will be happy. This screen will have oblong holes, through which any old mosquito can squeeze, without even twisting his neck.

WorHeroeSin LofeSt FIorio Post Roundup
 Drive for Members
 Most Successful

The new membership drive of Florio post No. 4 Italian American World War Veterans, is making rapid and astounding progress. With 90 new members enrolled and ad mitted at the last meeting which was held at the Florio post hall last Wednesday night the membership of the post now exceeds 400. With more than 4,000 eligible for mem bership in Waterbury the post is out to retain its prestige in the national and state departments of the or ganization and among other veter- ans groups. Among the recent members were Ensign Michael Men dino and Chief Petty Officer An- thony Martino, one of Americas s outstanding naval heroes, who was awarded a paid-up membership during his continued service in the U. s. Navy. Also Captains An- thony Carpentieri, Richard Co., francesca and Mario Lauro.
 Two new committees were created at that meeting for the coordina- tion of new and increased activities. A sport committee headed by Charles Guglielmo as chairman and an advisory committee headed by Philip Maiorano as chairman and includes Past State Command CT Michael GiOrdano, William Sir ica and Sam Cervero.
 Commander John Fabiano has set the goal for the administrative year ot the post which ends on Septem- Der l, 1946 at 1000, but indications are that the membership will reach 1000 by that time. There are about two million veterans of the two recent wars who are eligible to membership in the national or ganlzation and it is destined to become very influential in national veterans and Civic affairs.
