content to make her letter a clear

doubt that he does deserve all he
gets! So wife is protected legally
from want-but where is she to

Especially, since if she is wife
worth having, she won't just walk
out on him and take one! Does
Mrs. F. M. realize that husbands
also fall sick and have to be waited

not from high blood pressure OF

about what I would rather do. II

adequate care, 1 would ask for re-

a garden, including spading up the
ground. We do not have a large
lawn, but I still have to get the
lawn mower out of the basement
each time and in case Mrs. F. M
has never lifted one. they are moi
exactly light. Also, l do not have
a washing machine-the only time

Furs in July! Can you bear it?
Never mind the cold" the releases
on fall furs keep telling us. Believe
us-we don't, However, whether 1t
blows hot or cold, there's story in
the new furs that's we'll worth tell
ing and hearing--EVEN in July,
EVEN with the temperature soaring
to a point where it bumps its head
on the top of the thermometer.
The fur collections for fall, 1946,
made their bows in New York this
past week. From what we hear,
from what we see, this year marks
a whole new approach to the fash
ions and fashioning of furs.
You are no doubt aware of the
fact that it takes the cousins, auntS
and uncles in many a fur family
from the animal kingdom to make
even one fur coat. But in the new
est coats, we have really inter-
national gathering of fur folk, as
well as family group. For the
first time in many year, pelts are
being imported by American fur de-
signers. They come from such dis
tant ports as Manchuria, Mongolia,
South America, Alaska, Asia and
many other exotic addresses. Thus
the new ana, in many cases, entirely
strange names we will hear applied
to furs this autumn, will be those
belonging to the fur foreigners" +"
Certainly. the inspiration that these
new furs have afforded accounts for
many of the outstandingly beautiful
styles created for furs for the COM
ing season.
Take just the matter of color. For
years most of US have simply &C
cepted the fact that furs come in
brown. black, white or taffy-tan
tones. Well, no more of that! Now
we hear of such wonders as furs
dyed ruby red, or, perhaps lus-
trous bronze. Mink becomes rarer
and more precious s-sounding than
ever when We hear of it in such
shades as pale amber, the gray-blue
of a star sapphire. or the pure
white of driven snow.

FINISHING PLASTER BOARDS
BREAD PUDDING?
OIIEPYo

From Mrs. S. J. D., Washington. J
To the lady who is remodeling
with plaster boards: q hope they're
plaster boards, as beaver boards will
not stay papered; that is, the paper
will crackD We did two rooms with
these plaster boards and I used pre-
pared plaster to fill cracks. Let it
dry overnight, then cut strips from
heavy wrapping paper and paste
over the plaster. Be sure the plas-
ter is smooth, as when it dries it
will be rough and hard to hide. (We
used paper paste, then papered the
room. and we are very pleased with
the results)
Will some kind soul please tell me
how to make a bread custard pud-
ding? I just can't seem to make a
good one. Even with the shortage
of bread, a family of two will COL
lect bread ends.
/ saw in the RICH that grease from
wallpaper could be removed with
cubed starch. All the starch / can
lnd has blueing in it, so thought
maybe some one could tell me of
something else to use.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lonman

BY Josephine Lorman
We, on this side of the ocean,
have never been hungry or felt the
pinch of inadequate nourishment.
On the other side of the waves
millions of persons will starve un-
less We aid them. With a little sub
stitution and no discomfort. we can
help them, and at the same time
boost our own health.
How? Well, one way in which we
can help is to save fats. Tnis really
means conserving them and using
them again. If each family saves
one tablespoon of fat a day. this
adds up to one pound of fat a
month. One pound less from the
store, multiplied by the number of
families in the United States, and
you have several million pounds of
fats and oils which storekeepers and
jobbers and wholesalers do not have
to buy that means millions of
pounds to ship to the famine spots
I might also call the attention of
my feminine readers to the fact
that fats in the diet will put fat
on you; just where you do not want
it! The last census in the United
States showed population of
1853, 708 women between the ages
of 40 and A. The average woman
in this age group is at least ten
pounds overweight. These figures
give some idea of the number of
pounds on American women which
would look better on Europeans.
Here are few ways in which you
can help the food conservation pro-
gram and at the same time give
beauty a lift:
/. Prolong the use of fats through
proper handling and storage of all
fats saved in cooking.
2. Save bacon grease and use as
seasoning and in cooking.
3. Feature fresh fruit as dessert.
It is much healthier than pastry
anyway. If you must have pie once
in a while, serve only open faced
ones
4. Bake, broil, boil or stew meats,
fish and poultry.
5. Forget fried foods for the time
being.

Tribes, Hills,  Share Leod

Shortened games, caused by rain were played in City Amateur League competition at Hamilton Park yes- terday, with two close games and two one-sided results recorded, a triple tie developing because of victories by the defending champion Tribune A. C., ' ashington Hills, and Aviglianese. Brooklyn A. c. also came through with a win after its opening game defeat. Results were:
 Tribunes 2, N. B. Thomas Club 1. Hills. 2; F1orio Post o.
 Brooklyn AC 4; Franco-Ameri- cans, 3.
 Aviglianese 2, Sacred Hearts 1.
 Mound Duel
 Five-hit pitching by rival mounds men, Sailor Ted Grabeck for the Tribes and young Dick Redman for the Thomas Club. Poor play in the sixth inning cost the Hearts 8 victory, when Heffernan singled. went to second on an error, gained third base on a passed ball and scored on fly ball hit by Petrilas, Tribune catcher. The latter also scored in the fourth inning, when an error put him on base, after which he stole second base, went to third on fly ball by Horvath and scored on an infield out. Singles by Benson and Petroccione with a passed ball got the Tommies a run in the sixth inning. Score:

Monday Sports Wash

Apparently, the first round in the National Football league vs. All-America Conference grid war has been won by the established MEL, whose club-owners must be chuckling since Angelo Bertelli, the West Springfield resident and All American from Notre Dafe, seems to have jumped" the Los Angeles DonS of the All-America group in favor of the Boston Yankees, man. aged by Ted Collins of Kate Smith tradio fac. Los Angeles, backed by Don Ameche's movie money claims signed contract with Ber- telli and a written receipt for a bonus paid him for signing with the L-A club, reportedly at $12,000 for the 1946 season. Collins is said to have offered $20,000 which Ber- telli apparently accepted, and as Boston is much nearer his home in West Springfield, you can see the double-reason for his maneuver. The lawyers on both sides will now carry the ball! With more than 90 teams listed for organized base ball play in three Waterbury Demo- crat sandlot leagues; the real work of organization and schedules is now under way. Hope to get the managers and directors together this week s. Ginger Foran, the little Scotch Irish featherweight managed by Ralph Gold several years ago, is now a house-boy at Country Club of Waterbury. He has a great boss in Steward Dave Foster, whose two favorite sports in order are soccer football and boxing.

Bewhiskered BdseboIIers June 5

The House af David, famoua bearded baseball aggregation, will provide the opening night opposi- tion for the Brasscos at Municipal Stadium, June 5, Mgr. Joe Samoska announced today.
 Samoska took over the operation of the Waterbury club Saturday night, succeeding Fred Davi who has retired from the local baseball picture after three years. Davi had planned to field a team here until two weeks ago but failed to exercise an option he had on a lease for the Stadium. The park department has taken over the lighting equipment and will rent the lights to the Brasscos.
 The Davids, war casualty when most of their players entered the armed forces, reorganized two weeks ago and are playing in the New York area. Mgr. Charley Murphy has strong team made up of for mer minor leaguers.
 DeVitO, Piurek Set
 The BraSSco management is mak- ing plans to field a formidable club, although handicapped by a late start in securing players. Two standouts of last seasons team, Johnny Devito, who hit close to 400 for the campaign, and Whitey Piurek, West Haven High coach. have signed. Piurek has played four games with the West Haven Sailors.
 The BrasscoS plan to play Wed- nesday and Saturday nights, and will schedule major and minor league clubs on other dates that are available.

 Crosby13-7

Pete Foley's Naugatuck Grey hound baseball nine, swatted three Blue and White hurlers, collected la hits, beat Crosby, 13 to 2, and knocked the Manhermen into sec- ond place in the Naugatuck Valley League standings, Saturday after noon at the Municipal Stadium.
 This victory for the borough com- bine was the fourth in six starts and the second defeat in seven starts for the Manherzmen who receeded from first place in favor of Tor rington.
 Crosby's Randy Duphiney was knocked from the mound, at the end of the first inning as they scored six runs only to be outdone by Old Ivy in their half of this stanza as seven tallies were pushed across the plate. Jimmy Steck, Bernie Triple Threat" Lawlor, and Joe Raneri each garnered a one base bingle of Win Healy, the Naugatuck hurler, plus three walks and a few borough miscues gave the Manherz combine their only scores.
 KuzmenkO Finished
 In the second frame the Naug- atuck attack kept up as Lenny MargoliS was driven to cover at the end of this stanza under a four run uprising on the part of the borough cobine. Kuzmenko relieved Margolis in this frame and spread all hits and three runs over the duration of the nine inning route. Frankie SanAngelo, Wally Armonaitis, Chet Uszakiewicz and Milo Gabain led the Naugatuck attack. The score:
