Measles Epidemic Hits City
 School Children
 Are Chief Victims
 Of Germon Variety

A mild epidemic of German measles is currently prevailing in Waterbury, it was revealed today by Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer High school children in par ticular seem to be the principal victims of the communicable dis ease.
 1t is a mild epidemic at best, "Dr. Godfrey said" and the very nature of the illness offsets any cause for alarm among parents"
 A few hundred cases have been revealed locally within the past few weeks. Yesterday, it was reported 26 cases were sent home from Cros- by High School. A total of l37 cases was reported for the entire State last week and l85 cases for the week previous.
 There has been no noticeable increase locally for the past three weeks which leads us to believe the peak of the epidemic has. been reached and a decline now will be shown" the health officer said.
 Symptoms of the German measles are the appearance of rash on the face and neck accompanied by en- lareement of the gland in the neck area. A seven-day quarantine per- iod is established for the victim. Rest and symptomatic treatment are prescribed. A check on the vic- tim's eyes is cautioned.
 This is the first noteworthy ap- pearance Of German measles in Waterbury in more than a decade, statistics show. Its prevalence, how ever, is considered mild" in terms of epidemic proportions.
 Dr. Godfrey warned parents to keep those children at home who reveal symptoms of the illness. He does not urge absence on the part of children without the illness, however
 We do not stress the danger by contact anymore in this type Of illness, the health ofiicer added.
 Victims of the illness whether re- ported by their personal physician or the school nurses must be given a certification by the health ofncer before they are permitted to return to school,

 The number of U. s. workers idle because of strikes and shutdowns will jump to nearly 100000 if the 100000 soft coal workers strike as scheduled midnight Sunday.
 The major developments:
 1. The government moved into the soft coal crisis with a gen. eral embargo limiting all deliver- ies to the most essential users for the duration of the strike. Presi- dent Truman said the government had no plans for seizure of the mines.
 2. Union officials offered to arbitrate their dispute with the Virginia Electric Power Company but bitterly denounced Gov. Wn- liam Tuck who proclaimed a state of emergency and announced he would seize the company's prop erty to avert strike. The union has scheduled a strike for next Monday.
 3. officials of the strikebound International Harvester Company and Ailis-C Chalmers Company at Milwaukee assured the Labor De" partment they would attend q meeting at Washington today in an effort to end strikes in their plants.

FOLLOWING bids OF two suits

How do they do IT.?

COULD you produce one-third more
crops with 1OTe less manpoWer? The
farmers of America did it during the
last full year of the war.
How? Partly by working them
selves and their machines longer,
harder. Partly by assisting hired help
with wired help.
Electricity has taken over more
and more farm chores. 1t pumps
water, grinds feed, cures hay, fills
silos. 1t steps up milk and egg and
pork production. 1t eases farm house
work, too.
Cheap, dependable electricity has
done more than any other force to
make farming efficient and farm lite
comfortable.
Who electrified the farms? Rural elec-
trio service didn't happen overnight
1t started more than IS years ago
with Americas business-m managed
electric companies. These companies
did the pioneering - the pick-and-
shovel work.
The advantages of electricity on
the farm were many. The problem
was to get it to the farmer. Distance
and weather called for new methods

and materials. New farm machines
suitable for electric drive had to be-
developed.
Each problem was licked in turn
by American initiative and ingenuity.
Service grew steadily better and
cheaper. Farm by farm, area by area
the web of wire expanded.
What Of tomorrow Today, business
managed electric companies serve
1,85O,OOO farms (about two-thirds
of all electrified farms) and more
than 100000 other rural customers
outside of Incorporated towns. That's
real progress.
But the job isn't done. Right now,
as fast as men and materials become
available, these same companies are
extending reliable, low-priced electric
service to more than 100000
additional farm and rural non-farm
customers. These companies are in

ton alone.
This program long planned is
under way right now.

Justice got off punts of 65 and So
yards in the first period to get the
Tar Heels out of the shadow of their
own goal posts, and then made re-
peated long runs to set up touch
downs that won the game.
The victory gave North Carolina
a record for the season of six VIC
tories, one defeat, and one tie to set
the stage for the traditional North
Carolina Duke battle next week.
Deacons' Third Loss.
1t was the Deacons' third loss OF
the season. Led by their fiashy tall

Heels anxious about their lead until
late in the final quarter.
Neither Of the teams made long
scoring drives, and all of the touch
downs were set up or scored by long
passes or runs. Y

little right the rest of the game

Tennessee's late-surging Vols today

Those 194l Sugar Bowl rivals went

rapid-fire touchdowns.
But after Freshman Don Panciera
tossed touchdown passes of 80 and
IL yards to Johnny Killelea and
Sub Fuliback Ed Burns. the Eagles
clipped their own wings.
They fumbled twice and gave the
Vols three interceptions during the
second period, but those five miscues
cost only one touchdown. The
fiashly j. B. Proctor set it I'D by
contracting Jim Powell, an end
replacement, with a 10-yard heaye
into Boston's end zone.
The Vols lost little time pulling
into 1918 deadlock after the
half. Walt Slater ran the second

made against Panciera about 5

that ended with Backfield Spare
