vide additional facilities for its stu
dents and faculty, it was learned
today.
The college, which opened last
month, is now housed in the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase High School.

ment of 1873, of whom 81 are vet
Grams. The students range in age
from 16 to 46. Dean Price said the
46-year-old student is a veteran of
World War I.
School Not Overcrowded.
All are doing fine work." he
said, and the faculty is "enthusl-
astic" over results of the establish
ment of the institution, the first OF
its kind in the East between Geor-
gia and New Jersey. ....-.
Although there are more students
than was expected when the col
lege opened its doors September 18,
Dean Price said there is no over
crowding. The average class con-
tains "a students, he said, with the
largest having As.
He said he expected approxl-
mately so additional students in
February and an estimated total
student body of $50 next September. !
Annual Budget of $4,000.
While admitting that the tuition
is a little high" Dean Price
pointed out that the institution is
operating ON an annual budget OF
$50 900, with only $4,000 contrib
-uted this year by the county and
State. The county also provides
.the building and furnishes heat,

In discounting report that
junior colleges compete with uni
versities, Dean Price contended
that a junior college actually slim
srlates interest in higher education
.and benefits four-year colleges.
:. A Junior college, according to
Dean Price, has the following func-
stions:
: Transfer or preparatory for stu
dents intending to enter regular

ing their junior college work, popu- !

books and avoid the critical short
age existing in other colleges, Dean
Price said.

Statement GiUen On Sale of Seals Here
Annual Christmas Campaign
 Totals SIS, ,2O7; Thanks Extended To All for Generosity, Cooperation

Sale of Christmas Seals for the Tuberculosis League of Waterbury totaled $13,207 according to final report closing the 1945 fund submit- ted by Mrs. John Ii. Foster and Mrs. Edward J. Godfrey, chairmen of the campaign. Of this total, 85 per cent will be used locally while the re- mainder is sent to the state and na- tional organizations.
 Miss Anna G. Murphy, executive director of the league, stated that 1t is the only social agency carrying tuberculosis case work. She added that all tuberculosis control work in the schools is carried on by the Board of Health. The league has been in existance in Waterbury since 1908. All clinic work has been under the supervision of pr. Cole B. Gib- son, Undercliff Sanitorium. Miss Marion M. Reynolds, R. N., is the case worker for the league.
 A member of the Council of Social Agencies, the league is also regis- tered with the Community Chest, but is a on-participating member. Miss Murphy revealed that the sale of Christmas Seals is the only source from which the league receives sup port.
 A digest of the final report sub- mitted by Mrs. Foster and Mrs. God frey follows:
 The Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale Committee reports the official closing of the fund this week with total of $13,20709, which is $200 above the goal set by the league. The fund breakdown is: received from former contributors, $l0,984.58; re- ceived from new contributors, $l,- 665.26; miscellaneous sales, $577.25. Reminder cards mailed out in Jan- uary and February to those who had forgotten or overlooked the seals have brought in over $500 to date.
 Preparation for the Mail Sale began early in September, with the campaign being formally opened by the Mayor on November 18. Boy Scouts delivered posters throughout the city and several window displays were set up in local stores. Coin boxes were also placed throughout the city. Booths for the sale of Christmas Seals were established in several banks under the supervision og Mrs. c. Judson Wells. Volunteer workers staffed these booths.
 The local chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women took over the entire task of folding 28000 sheets of Christmas Seals, and filling and mailing 18,000 envelopes during the month of November. This work was done at their headquarters on Church Street. Other volunteers as- sisted in handling the letters sent back with contributions and enter ing returns on the record cards of the individual donors. The sale of bangle pins of the double barred cross, the insignia of tuberculosis work, to school children helped swell the total.
 The report concluded, Success of the Sale is due largely to the splendid work and cooperation of all, and grateful appreciation is expressed to all who co-operated so generously in the activities"

Your G Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, April 1-(NEA)-- Here are some general questions from men just out of the service re- parding their veterans rights:
 of a man gets blue dls- charge, does that men he doesn't receive mastering out pay?
 A man must get an honoraole discharge to be eligible for muster ing-out pay. ,,
 Ol am planning to build house for myself with loan guar antee. Several months ago the gov ernment announced that veterans would get priority on most building materials. But now I read in the naner that Congress has voted against veteran housing legislation. Does that mean veterans don't get priority any more?
 A-The first priority assistance program announced by the gov ernment is still in effect, and vet" erans get first choice on II scarce building materials. The congress sionaI action you are probably re- ferring to is the rejection or larger program for veteran houS- ing. It doesn't alter the present one: Q-I suspect that a friend or mine got a blue discharge. How can I find out?
 A-Your best bet would be to ask him. The War Department doesn't give out that information.
 Q-In order for veterans to get priority on the new houses that are being built. do they have to make a loan and have it guaranteed by the government?
 A-No.
 Q-Can veterans get money from the government while they are talk ing correspondence courses?
 A-Yes, if the correspondence schools were in business before the recent change in the CT Bill ot Rights.
 Q-What is the first step vet- eran has to take in applying for his readjustment allowance?
 A-Application must be made at the local office of the United States Employment Service. Be sure 10 take your discharge papers. The discharge must be other than dis honorable, if you are to qualify.
 Q-I ann married, and have three children. I have been notified will be laid off from work soOnr and my prospects aren't good TOT getting something else right away As a veteran of World War III, how much unemployment compensation will I receive from the government!
 A--The maximum you can get is $40 per week. You can get eight weeks of allowances for the first three months of active service. and four weeks for each additiona month served after Sept. i6, iDtO up 70 a total of 52 weeks.
 Q-'FOF q while, ! was in the stn' dent training program of the Army Then ! served two months in th' infantry. Am ! eligible s0F . week Iy Feadjnssment allowance f ! los' my Job?
 A-No, not unless you were dls' charged with . aervlee'eonnecte' disability.
 Q-I have besm trying Co go started in the radio repair bushes since being discharged from tA Army, But sickness ana eeVeFd ether things haVe eeHle Hp te lH fnrrHpt my WaEk. and ! haven made very much raefey, Ny Wig

 Cancer Drive Proclamation
 Current Month
 Designated as
 Control Month

Cancer Control Month in Water bury has been proclaimed for April by Mayor John s. Monagan in a proclamation released to the public. The city has joined communities throughout the state in assisting the campaign sponsored by the Connec- ticut Cancer Society. The latter is undertaking the collection of funds to assist in combating the dread disease.
 The proclamation of the Mayor is as follows:
 Cancer takes an annual toll of l70,000 lives in the United States. It does not choose certain local ities or come in sudden epidem- ics. It strikes everywhere, stead fly, without regard to race, creed, color, wealth, or geographical To- cation.
 Tn our own community, one out of every eight of our friends, relatives and neighbors is des- tined to die of cancer. Scientists tell us third of these could be saved by early diagnosis and treatment. Every year during the month of April the Connecticut Cancer Society carries the hope full message to the people in a campaign of education and fund raising.
 This year the American Can- cer Society is launching a cam paign to raise l2 million dollars for an all-out attack on cancer. By co-ordinated nationwide program 1t will speed research, promote education to save lives, provide financial aid for the diag- nosis and care of the cancer pa- tient
 "The Connecticut Cancer Soci- ety will conduct the drive in this state. The state quota is SPIT ,440. large part of which will be used for cancer control work within the state. Waterbury's quota is $l7,876. The slogan for the campaign is Guard Those You Love-Give to Conquer Cam cer."
 "In furtherance of this effort designed to overcome source of great missry and save the lives of many of our citizens, hereby designate the month of April as Cancel Control Month for Water bury and I urge all individuals and all channels of information to the public to lend their sup port as matter of public well fare"

Of OfTcidIsMustAssun1e BLan1eIfC fChaosResuLts Leaders of Community Clubs Council Score Lack of Cooperation in
 Obtaining Decision in Tax Suit

Members of the Council of Com MaKlnitv Clubs, in a statement issued to the press defend the entrance e3 their tax suit now in Superior Court and claim it to be "the only way in which thousands of small tnxpayers can protect themselves" A1gaihng what they claim to be the ''li1lcooperat attitude of the Mayor the statement calls upon the city to speedily try its cases now pending in the courts so that ju- 7 dicial (and non-partisan) conclu- siOMs may be reached as to the validity of the Grand List of 1945."
 The statement was Issued by o. F. 4 Liebreich and A. R. Martino, chair man and chairman respective ly of the Councils Legislative Com mittee.
 The statement as Issued to all ; newspapers is:
 ''Immediate:y proceeding the fil- ing of our tax suit, the Legislative Committee of the Council of Com .1lVlnity Clubs did seek, during three SNs tiI1gS with the Mayor, plan to
 out the iniquities resulting from
 s
 we were unsuccessful because AZ ste un-cooperative attitude of .c Chief Executive.
 Counsel for the City, in his Statement to tine Superior Court in connection with the Republican AAmerican tax suit went out of his way to gratuitously and in absence of the parties or their counSed to attack the good faith of those who have instituted the so-called Com munity Club suit. Counsel for the City, knows, or should know, that this suit has been brought as the only economical way in which thou sands of small taxpayers can pro- tect themselves from taxes based on assessment lists which are mani- festIy negotiable, inaccurate and unjust.
 { @Counsel for the City knows, or should know, that the cost of individual suits would be prohibitive to the small taxpayer. Counsel N for the City knows, or should know, that Counsel for the Community ClubS conferred with the Corpora \ ton Counsel as tot he possibility of bringing single suit in behalf of the multitude of injured taxpayers to tsst the justice, equality and ac- curacy of each individual assess ment, without attacking the Grand IS a whole, but was advised 2t ch a suit was judicial im- liEy and would not be con- Selasou to by the City. If chaos re- suits to the City, it will be only | LjNcause of the non-cooperative at- titnde of the servants Of the public now occupying our City Hall.
 The Community Clubs suit has
 been and is motivated by 8 desire Yto protect the taxpayer from those injurious results which have always H we'd the disregard of charter
 ute provisions. If success
 will grant reprieve during Ik a thorough revaluation cai lK complished with justice to the taxpayer and not merely tt large taxpayer with money anc inf1uence. Nor will the chaos SC dramatically pictured by Counse flor the City come about if the City Hoperates in as diligent a fashion ii Efnding legal ways to meet thl Hneeds of the city as 1t is in defend Hing illegal means. Surely we havt hnot forgotten that our recent city lSc 1al was largely brought abou AI fashion of city officials not

to act pursuant to charter and sta- tutory provisions established for the protection of the taxpayer. Certairi- ply counsel for the City should, above all others, insist that charter and statutory provisions designed for the protection of the taxpayers be scrupulously adhered to and that violations, conducive to harm to the taxpayers, be not lightly dismissed with the blessing of being "techni- cal" only.
 '@The dilatory tactics of Counsel for the City, which alreday is in default in filing it's pleadings with in the time presented by the rules, has further engendered uncertainty and chaos. The City is about to send out tax biils based upon Q Grand List which is under fire in the courts. If these tax bills" are paid and if the Grand List is declared invalid can counsel for the City guarantee that any money will be refunded? Can such coun- el for the City guarantee that any money 50 paid will be applied to whatever tax bill will eventually be found legal? Are taxpayers, by the delays of city officials, to be nludgeoned with paying taxes that may be wholly illegal with no re- course and without credit be given for each payment?
 We call upon the city to speedily try its cases now pending in the courts so that judicial (and not partisan) conclusions may be reached as to the validity of the Grand List of 1945."
