Board Gives ApprovoIof Market Plans
 Building To De Erected
 Al Cost Of S3,QQ0

Plans for an office and main- tenance building for Waterbury's Public Market on Meadow Street was approved by the Board of Works at regular meeting held last night.
 An estimated construction cost of 5000 has been made by the city engineer. The building will contain offices and sanitary facilities. Jo- seph Mo cGinniss, market master, will have his central offices located there.
 Mayor John s. Monagan presid- ed at the meeteing.
 About 40 residents attended Q public hearing conducted by the board last night. A Congress Ave- nue Extension delegation asked that layout and grading of the street be undertaken. The request, which also included oiling and widening of the street, was first presented last Fali. The delegation claimed that present conditions were a menace to safety.
 Requests were also presented by others for sanitary sewers on Rob- ert Street; sidewalk on Web- ster Street, and a sewer extension on Joy Street.
 c. A. Ranger, chairman of the Improvement committee of the Bucks Hill Community Club, told the board there has been an ap- plication for water service for Bucks Hill Road, on file with the board since 1887, and that before the war the pipe was distributed along the road only to be taken away before it could be laid. He said that there were 16 homes along the mile and quarter stretch of road with no protection against fire. He claimed four barns and a house have burned down within the past three years because there has not been supply of water available on the road. His request for water service was referred to the Water Committee for investigation and report.
 Right of way was granted the city by A. H. Wells for the laying of storm water and a sanitary sewer on Mt. Vernon Avenue. This was referred to the Board of AL dermen with the request that the mayor be authorized to accept for the city.
 A letter was read from Mrs. Charles w. Hauser expressing her thanks to the city for the repaving of Greystone Road.
 The Board of Aldermen has au- thorized the. Board of Public Works to construct sewers on Vail Street, Pine Street, Manor Avenue and Wolcott Street.
 A request by the Raymond Bak- ing Company on East Main Street for sewer extension was referred to the Sewer Committee for in- vestigation and report at the next meeting.

 A committee of thirty prominent citizens all of whom are representa- tive of all organizations and groups in the city are sparking the cam paign.
 The plight of the European peo- pie is one that has already extend ed far beyond the intangibles of verbal sympathy. The very realistic ghoul of death by starvation is striking and lurking among the mil- lions of children and women and the old and feeble of the war-tOrn lands. Every effort must be'made to help them, MT. Brewer rea6nymed today.

 VACUUM CLEANERS
 Preliminary dirt-removal tests, con- ducted on the first four vacuum clean CTS Consumers Union was able to buy on the postwar market, indicate only minor construction changes on the machines. The Hoover Model 27 ($57.5O took first place in speed of dirt removal. Slower in removing dirt than the upright Hoover was the tank-tpe Electrolux Model 30 ($6975).
 This Electrolux was found to be substantially the same as the pre- war Electrolux, which was then the best of all prewar tank-type clean CTS tested. The Consumer Reports article points out that dirt-removal is only one of the many factors to be considered in buying a cleaner; 1; that many housewives would find a tank-type cleaner more convenient because of its greater maneuver- ability, ease of changing attach ments and other factors, despite its slower rate of dirt-remOvaI.

RADIOS

RADIOS
 No postwar engineering miracles have emerged in any of the 21 table model radios tested so far in Con- sumers Union laboratories and dis cussed in the current issue of Con- sumner Reports. Considering what you could get in prewar days, today's dol lar buys relatively little radio, the article reports.
 The best of the 21 table radios tested is the MotOrOla 65T2l at $45.5O, reported as having excel lent tone, volume and sensitivity. At somewhat lower prices you can get radio that is relatively good in these respects. Best Buys include the Admiral 6TO1-6Al ($27.95) and the MOtOrola 65X1l ($26). A good value with fairly good tone, fair sensitivity and excellent vol tune is the Montgomery Ward Air line l5O4M at $l7.95 plus postage.
 The midget Sears Roebuck Silver tone COOP, selling at 888 plus postage, AS DCSI buy 1Ol IlIOSC WllO llSlCll only to nearby stations and who want a spare. It has relatively low volume and sensitivity but its tone is fair and, if it meets your needs, it's a real bar gain, GUS radio experts conclude.
 SHAVING PREPARATIONS
 Don't pay for a fancy mug or for a shaving cream that's mostly water, if you want to shave economically, an article in Consumer Reports advises. Tests and price comparisons of 103 brands of shaving soaps and creams show that the cheapest creams are al- most three times as expensive as the cheapest dry soaps for about the same number of slaves; that adding Sc worth of shaving soap to 10c worth of shaving mug may bring the price of the combination to the $1.50 level.
 Economy aside, the type of shaw ing preparation you choose is largely matter of personal prefer
