Now that peace is again re-
stored in the plant after the re-
cent holiday, the committee is
planning ways and means to
prevent a recurrence.
We wonder how one certain
party is enjoying his steak at
$1.25 a pound after so vigorous
ly condemning the OPA and the
shortage of meat.
Who were the two fishermen
who spent the holiday at Oak
Harbor and had the usual fish
erman's luck? The victory suit
the one was wearing sure
shrunk a lot about his huge
frame after being caught in the
rain that morning.
Three of the boys went out
for mushrooms last Saturday
but had no luck finding any.
They claim we need a little
more rain.
The die shop is petitioning the
shop to exercise separate auton-
omy from production. They
claim their problems are such
that they feel they are in a bet
ter position to solve them apart
from production.
There has been considerable
comment over Chefs jeep which
he drives about. One of the
boys remarked that it reminded
him of a chicken coop on
>.
The fishing reports of the
week were fair out in the bay
but lousey in the river. Better
luck next week.

Supply Unit NeUS
By J. Mcknight

Bob Pugh, Dept. 80, has taken
all the orders he can handle for
the pheasant season. He tried to
bargain with a couple of the
boys for something in return for
their pheasants, but the night
supt. All! That's different. All
free.
I Harold DeMarrs, Dept. 54, was
down to the union hall bright
and early last Sunday to attend
the meeting. The only thing
wrong was that the meeting will
be held this Sunday. Just one
week too soon, Harold. Hope
to see you this week.
We have been informed that
Mrs. Ed Birtwhistle is up and
around again. Mrs. B. had a
very bad fall down the steps at
her home. She is the wife of
our chairman.
Herb Hoerig, Dept. SO, guar
antees some deer meat to any
one that will sell him a good
rifle.
We sure wish the management
would install some sort of venti-
lation for Depts. 80, 80, and 1O9
before winter sets in and we
will have to keep the doors clos
ed all the time. How about it,
Louie?
There is much conflict in Ali
mony Row. Ray Palicki has
been suspended from his chair
mans duties due to series of
violations of the club rules. This
should be a warning to the next
Pres. P.S. Better return that
new outfit, Ray.
We wish to extend our con-
gratulations to Joe Montry who
was taken from the rank and
file to be foreman. We know
of no better man for a promo
ton of this sort, as every one
likes Joe and he has always done
a good job on anything he un-
dertook. Joe will replace Dave
Rollo who will retire the first
of the month. Best of luck to
you, Joe,
Our regular unit meeting will
be held this Sunday, Oct. 27, at
1000 Am. Be there to hear
what progress our committee is
making with the company on ne
gotiations.
Wonder if Clyde Coulter is in
line for a foremans job. He at
tends the foremen meetings at
Macomber High each month.
After many requests your re-
porter will report on his bowl
ing last week. First game 107;
second game 1872; third game
1877. Feel better boys? This
only happens once a year, thank
goodness!

more success with her recovery

 Transportation Expense
 An inquiry was made by the Wa terbury Veterans Unemployment Advisory Committee about pay ment of transportation costs to vet erans who wish to attend a trade school.

However, in the past the payment has been made only for students under 2l, and 1t was pointed out that the state would not contribute transportation costs to students over 2l.
 The possibility of acceptance by the city of all Of the cost of trans portation was suggested, and the matter was referred to the finance committee.

MIRIAM WEINRIB
Waterbury Nutrition Council

Every woman can lose weight providing she has that certain something known as will power However, before going on any kind of diet consult a physician.
 The ideal weight loss averages 1-2 pounds a week, If the loss is greater than two pounds a week, general weakness and wrinkled skin will occur. The first week may show progress, but in succeeding weeks the weight may reach a standstill for a time. This state of affairs may be discouraging and disseminating the diet may be con- templated The standstill, however, is only a temporary condition which is caused by an unadjusted water balance in the body,
 The protective foods should al- ways be included in the reduction diet in order to insure an adequate amount of minerals and vitamins. A great deal of protein should be included so that high satiety value is obtained. Plenty of raw fruits and vegetables should be taken as they supply bulk plus many minerals and vitamins.
 Fried foods and desserts are omitted entiredly. Clear consom- me or broth can be used. Coffee or tea without cream or sugar is permitted. Saccharine may be sub Stituted for sugar. Sugar in any form is not allowed.
 Free copies of the pamphlets Down the Scale" and Stream line your Figure" may be had by addressing a postcard or calling the Waterbury Nutrition Council, 37 Central Avenue, 5-1135.

 Service Stressed in Arguments
 Presented School Board
q, new salary schedule

Pleas for a new salary schedule for Waterbury teachers and princi- pals were renewed last night by the Waterbury Teachers and Princi- pals Associations when delegations attended meeting of the Board of Education at Russell School.
 Miss Helen Hogan, president of the Teachers Association, pointed out to the education commissioners that teacher delegates had met with board committees three times in re- cent weeks and felt that not much was accomplished on the salary pro- posal.
 She said the association sought equitable and adequate salaries to meet changes in economic condi- tions as well as to improve the qual- ity of service"
 Miss Hogan pointed to the teach CT shortage, and accredited the Tow pay" as one of the reasons why fewer students are interested in teacher training. She said statistics show that there is 53 percent re- duction in the number of students who are going into teacher train ing, and that one out of every 10 teachers in the country are teach ing with sub-Standard certificates.
 Present from the associations welfare committee with Miss Hogan was Adeline Rizzolo chairman. Representing the principals were Louis Butler of Wilson School and Mary Wall of Heildricken School.
 Also present with the delegation were Mrs. F. G. Parker, president of the Bunker Hill Parent-Teachers Association, and Mrs. Arthur R. Nichols, vice-president.
