Thanksgiving Day Dinner Costs Up 25 Percent
SurDey ShoOs Food Plentiful m Waterbury

Waterburians will have a real feast Thanksgiving Day, with all food plentiful. but the family bud get-planner will have to turn over at least 25 percent more than last year to pay for 1t.
 Turkeys and all the traditional trimmings are abundant this year, but survey showed that costs on most items have risen.
 At one downtown store a 12- pound turkey last year cost 54 cents a pound. This year the price was up to 67 cents a pound.
 Size of GObblers Determines Price
 Turkey prices varied, however, with the weights. the store charg- ing 67 cents a pound for eight to l6 pound birds; 49 cents for those weighing IT to 20 pounds; and 45 cents for the bigger gobblers.
 Some stores put out a number of the very large birds at 3o cents a pound, but the supply was limited, and other retailers called 1t a sales promotion deal.
 Sweet potatoes went up in price from last years average of three pounds for 25 cents, to a high of IS cents a pound.
 The price of fresh cranberries went up about 50 percent, and many housewives were reported buying canned cranberries to save money and sugar. A can of cram berries cost about 2l cents.

the prudent individual, the city must try to look ahead and plan for the rainy day and for the time of difficulty. Even now, it is clear that certain matters are pressing for decision by our city and all cities. The first is the matter of salaries. This is both an immediate question and a long term one. The present increase h the cost of living must be reflected in municipal salaries as well as those of people in private business, and cost of liv- ing adjustments must be made to help the city worker battle imitation. In addition, long term study and adjustment of salaries, like those of grammar school teachers, must be made to make sure that no group is out of line with comparable groups in cities similar to Water bury.
 The constant increase in the de- mand for new services and the limit to which the property tax can be pushed indicates a need for new sources of revenue to supplement those which now exist. City dwellers are constantly asking the munich pality to serve them in new ways and yet there is only one way in which any large scale increase of services can be made. That is through obtaining more money with which to pay for them.
 Water Tax Suggested
 One method of securing such rev. enue is through assessing the cost of city services directly against those people who use them. The wa ter tax is one example of this meth cd. Another to which we can look forward is the fixing of a service charges for the. operation @ the Sewage Disposal Plant and Sewer System. Tn some cities garbage and rubbish removal charges are made directly rather than financed through the general property tax. Indirect taxation is fairly easy but it is deceptive.
 Another source of revenue which should be examined is the return of motor vehicle funds by the State. The present system is unfair. Wa terbury contributes something in the neighborhood of one million dollars a year through registration fees, licenses and gasoline taxes. Under the present arrangement, Continued Page 7-(RISING)

50 Deputies Quit tEsypt's Parliament
 Mony Students
 Riot in Cairo;
 Police Kill One

Cairo, Nov. 26. (UP)-Fifty mem. bers of the government opposition in Parliament walked out Of the Chamber of Deputies today after a decision was voted to debate in secret the draft of a proposed Anglo Egyptian Treaty.
 The dissident members withdrew after Premier Tsnail Sidky insisted throughout an hour of wrangling, and won when the matter was put to a vote, that the debate should be secret in the public interest.
 Reliable sources said that King Farouk had signed decree diSSolv- ing the mission of l2 men who had been conducting the treaty negotia- tions with the British.
 Anti-British rioting continued in Cairo. A student was shot to death when police fired on demonstrators hurling firebrands in central Cairo.
 An official announcement report ed the students death. It said police had fired for the first time in the four-day series of demonstrations against the government and it's pro- posed treaty with Britain.
 A student throng attempted, ap- parently with little success, to set afire the Tewfikieh secondary school near the main railway Sta- ton. Police cordoned of the school and streets near the station.
 Policemen Wounded In Clashes
 Hassan Rifast Pasha, undersec- retary of the Interior Ministry, said the situation is pretty turbulent"
 Several policemen were wounded slightly in clashes with the Stud- ents.
 Medical students overturned a bus outside the university and ignited it. They tossed bottles of burning chemicals at firemen and police try ing to approach the vehicle. Others played streams of water on the fire fighters
 In Malika Farida Square, where the general post office is situated, students set fire to trolley cars. All traffic was halted in the university area.
 Debate Scheduled Tonight
 The draft agreement for a new Anglo-Egyptian treaty will be de- bated by the Chamber of Deputies tonight. It has drawn strong criti- cism from some political factions and inspired the student demon StrationS.
 If the question is put to a vote in the chamber, the government of Premier Ismail Sidky Pasha prob- ably will obtain a majority for the draft. The terms were prepared by Sidky and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin recently in London.
 A government majority is less certain in the Senate, which in cludes many Wafdist senators. Their party opposes the proposed treaty.

member must pay a joining fee and

required to deduct the dues from

that non-union laborers are paid
