out In 1918 it spread over the en-.
tire world; present epidemics seem
to be limited by seasons to one
hemisphere at a time.
Control of influenza is one of the
health officers most difficult prob.

spread by persons who have the
| infection in mild form. Masks have
been used, and it is possible that a
properly constructed and properly
used mask might be of some bene.
fit. The human factors of forget
fitness and carelessness operate to
limit the effectiveness of the
mask; even if the nose and mouth
are covered, if the eyes are not
covered the virus can pass
through the tear ducts.
Public health officials report
success with A vaccine in the con-

given about two weeks before an
anticipated outbreak. Protection
lasts for about four to five weeks,
With greater experience in antici-

start, more effective use of this
vaccine can be made.
Sulfa drugs and penicillin have
been tried in the treatment Of IN
fluenza without success. Patients
should 60 to bed as soon as symp'

til convalescence is well establish
ed. A hot bath, plenty Of bed
covers, and sedative contribute
to the patients comfort. The chief
concern in influenza is the posslol'
lity of completing pneumonia.

Waterbury Expected
 To Fail In Bond Drive
Closing Hour Approaches With City Over $l ,OOO, 900
 Below Quota; "E" Bonds Sales More Encouraging

Auction rallies were featured, al- though figures are not complete, auction rallies held at both U. S.. Time factories notably increased total sales, MT. Braunsdorf said.
 34 Blasts
 One thousand dollars sales, in creased by 34 during the past A hours at the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, today surpassed the record made Scovill employees in the Sixth War Loan drive. David c. Moreland, chair man, reported that $1 ,0o0 purchases to date in the mighty seventh total ed 263, while 254 bonds of that de- nomination were sold during the last war loan drive in December.
 A total of $13,075 was deducted for bond purchases, during May, from the pay checks of 1885 city employees participating in the pay roll savings plan. Frank Sullivan city paymaster disclosed that an additional $500 in bonds was pur- chased by these employees.
 A total of ,490 city employees are listed on the payroll which for May amounted to $245 ,489.
 St. Ann's c. Y. o.
 The c. Y. o. unit of St. Ann's parish will tomorrow staff Victory House on the closing day of Water bury's Seventh War Loan drive.
 Entertainment is scheduled for 2 p. m., 5 p. m. and 8 p. m. Rev. Alfred Mathieu, spiritual advisor of the c. Y. o. unit and Irving Plourde, president of the c. Y. O. are in charge of the activities for the day. Others who will assist on the committee are Dolores Bois- vert, Jackie Dessureaux, Claire Dansereau, Robert Lebel and Rol- and DesormeauX.
 The Junior Women's club which yesterday sponsored sales at Vic- tory House reported members had sold $7,10O worth of series E bonds National Figures Washington, June 29-(UP)-To- tai sales in the Seventh War Loan drive skyrocketed to $21, ,639, ,000, 900 today to break all previous war | loan records.
 The total was 54.5 per cent over the s14,OO0, 900, ,0O00 quota. It sur- passed the previous record of $21,- 621 ,000, 900 in the Sixth War Loan drive
 Sales of individuals amounted to $6, 910, 100000, including E-bond sales of $3,071 ,00O, 900 and sales to corporations were $14,729, ,0O0, 900. Individual sales represented 98.7 per cent of that quota.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-29

Though figures of total sales of series E. Bonds were still incom- plete, it appeared that Waterbury'S Seventh War Loan drive will close tomorrow without hitting the treas ury-assigned goal of $6,9l5,0 ,00o. Over $1 100000 is still lacking toward the Mighty Seventh quota.
 Encouraging reports have been received at the War Finance com- mittee that sales of series E bonds had increased at local war produc- ton factories and central issuing agencies. James E. Moran, chair man said he believes if the pace continues today and tomorrow major portion of deficit might be liquidated.
 "Over Top"
 Waterbury Tool, division of Wick CTS, today exceeded its seventh War Loan quota by $50O0, Jack Fitzger- aid, chairman, announced. The treasury assigned the Aurora street industry quota of $135,000.
 Other industries reported that bond buying was very much in evil dence this morning, and it is be- lieved total returns from Water bury's war production plants will substantially help in overcoming the present one million dollars deficit.
 Every employe at both the Cherry street and Middlebury plants of the U S. Time corporation was can- vassed by bond committees, Herbert Braunsdorf, chairman, reported.

CRUELTY ALLEGED
 IN DIVORCE SUITS
Two Decrees Granted To- day By Judge Cornell in
 Superior Court

Two divorces were granted by Judge John A. Cornell this morning following hearings at the short cal- endar session of superior court. Other divorce suits were scheduled for hearings later in the day.
 Harry Miller of Naugatuck was granted a divorce from Myrtle Law renee Miller, also of Naugatuck, on the ground of intolerable cruelty. The couple married Oct. g, 1885, and the plaint..ff claimed his wife became cruel Oct. 1, 1886.
 A charge of cruelty also was the basis of the decree awarded to Or solina Sforza Quarand of Water bury in her action against Anthony R. Quaranda, also of this city. The petitioner claimed her husband has been cruel since the day of marriage Sept. II, 1887. She was given custody of their two minor children, and provision was made for payment of S10 weekly as support and g weekly as alimony.

To this Henry Ford II replies enthusiastically. He says the com- pany 'is months and months ahead in experiment and research" and when production facilities catch up, Ford will produce "the finest car in it's history
 Lauds Grandfather's Aid
 But he says he knows Ford will face more diversified and more ag- greSsive competition than ever be- fore"
 My gandfathr has been great instructor" Henry Ford II said. His views are proved not alone in the mechanical and com mercial fields, but from social ap- praisal and in the pattern of bet ter world.
 Times change and methods and techniques change, but the founda- tion stones remain firm today and tomorrow"
 The six-foot, blond head of one of the worlds fabulous private fortunes looks like football tackle, dresses like a banker in conserva- lively tailored grays, blues and browns.
 His conservation is friendly, di- rect, humorous and quick. He fre- quently rests back in his chair, his feet on his desk, as he visits with business callers or his own eXecu- tive staff. He works eight to 10 hours day, has modest social habits emulating the simple life of his grandfather.

CHANGE OF NAME
 PETITIONS FILED

Two petitions for changes of name were granted by Judge John A. Cor nell following hearings at the short calendar session of superior court today.

 Paul Richard Kantrowitz and his wife, Ruth Perlroth Kantrowitz, of New Haven, were granted permis- sion to use the name, Kent. The husband stated he had used that name in connection with his profes- sion as an accountant.

The public little understands the executive control of the billion dollar Ford system. But anybody inside the organization learns soon that it is a tight-fisted one-family ownership administered by deci- sions of a single authority.
 Henry Ford II, as executive vice president, holds that power today.
 Two years ago his father, EdSel Ford, died and Henry Ford, the elder, returned to the presidency. But a year ago, Henry Ford II as sumed executive responsibilities and his 82-year-old grandfather took life easy at his Dearborn home and in Florida.
 Like 2S- Year Old Boss
 Veteran executives in the Ford empire like the 28-year-old boss" He depends on their experience and counsel in forming decisions, but his decrees on policy and ac- ton come swiftly and in clear, final language. A high company official told the United Press that those decisions show exceptional realism and maturity"
 Tn a way, the Ford board of strategy believes, it is singular that the resumption of automobiles pro- duction should come under leader ship of Henry Ford II.
 For actually it marks a sort of second phase of the Ford system. The war ended the first phase. It placed Ford in the business of serv- ing the country as any other citi- zen, its full facilities devoted to production of the implements of vic- tory.
 In the period immediately ahead Ford must return to its peacetime production and distribution under a new set of conditions, with new challenges and an uncertain public demand. The one big question is: will Ford still serve the average family's automobile needs?"
