But his undeniable sincerity is unouestionably the basis Of the merchants successful bond-selling career For he not only sells them but he buys them himself regularly. Taliildeen admitted his only cash on hand is a small sum in his check ing account. His entire savings and he admits being thrifty-plus his veterans pension received m 1885 are safely invested in war bonds. At the first meeting of the Merchants division in the current Victory Loan drive, the confection- cry store merchant put $l 200 into bonds.

 Making a living was not an easy one of the Syrian-born merchant when he arrived in America just prior to 1914 as Europe was on the verge of World War I. The young immigrant worked for several years in a Massachusett cotton mill 55 hours a week for $7. But once having mastered the English Ian guage, Tajndeen felt confident greener pastures lay ahead anc moved on to Waterbury obtaining job as street car conductor. He opened his present establishment or East Main street in 1923.

Last week ex-Prime Minister winston Churchill gave a speech at his old school, Harrow. They were very disappointed at first; they didn't think he was wearing his old school tie. But then he brushed away cigar ashes and there it was.
 Tne highLeht of Churchill's talk was his statement that he had always wanted to play the bass drum and thought he would take it up. That's understandable. It's necessary for him to keep up his prestige; after all. Truman plays the piano When the news of Churchill's speech hit Russia, sta lin decided to take up playing the vodka jug.
 The next Big Three meeting will be a jam session. Attlee doesn't play anything, so he's going to take Churchill along even though Churchill didn't beat the drum for him during the cleo ton.
 Truman could round out the musical group by bringing in MacArthur and Nimitz for the brass section and he could al- ways include couple of senators for the wind instruments. Even so, l think the Big Three should keep it a trio-they might replace the Andrews sisters.
