"One Page Story" a short film made by Rosalind Russell to support the Waterbury Community Chest drive, was given it's premier show ing yesterday at a meeting of Chase Brass and Copper Company soIci- tors at the Grand Street office.
 The film was made by Miss Russell at her own expense. It will be shown in local theaters, at club meetings and industrial rallies throughout the city during the Red Feather cam paign. All arrangement for showing the film are being handled by Attor- ney James Russell.
 In brief introductory speech at the start of the film, Miss Russell says:
 Many of you may not know it but l was born in Waterbury and have lived here most of my life. It is my hometown and love the place. I am proud of it too. am proud of the way we've always taken care of our neighbors wher they are in trouble, looking out for one an- other as we do in a democracy like ours. Troubles are something that every one has at some time or an- other. And right now, after the war, a lot of them are particularly hard hit. We need only to look into the daily newspapers to know that we have problems on our hands. Prob lemS of human reconversion-let l1s say. Juvenile delinquency Is on the increase and there are many breaks in families and in homes. Illness, mental or physical-oh, don't need to go on. You have all heard about these things and you read about them too. But when I think of the Waterbury Community Chest and it's many different kinds of Red Feather Services I feel lot more optimistic about the future.
 Given Helping Hand
 Many families in Waterbury are enjoying 8 happy existence today because they have been helped over some difficult places by the Lincoln House Association, the Diocesan Bureau or the Salvation Army.
 Boys find an outlet for their ex- cessive energies in the clean activi- ties of the Boys Club, the Y.M.CA and the Boy Scouts.
 Our Girls Club, the Y.W.C.A. and Girl Scouts provide opportunities for thousands of girls to develop into fine, useful and charming women. Every year many boys and girls are provided with a couple of weeks crowded full of fun at Vacation House on Lake QuaSsapaug.
 The sufferings of the sick are made more bearable and their con- valescence speeded by the care given by the Visiting Nurse Association the Chase Dispensary and St. Marys Clinic. Children are being made healthier by the counsel of the Nu- triton Council. People with mental illness and maladjusted children are being helped by the Society for Mental Hygiene.
 Young, Old Cared For
 Some mothers are forced to work for the support of their children. These little ones are cared for by the Waterbury Day Nursery. And the many children without parents have the love and care they need so bad ly at St. Joseph's Home. The Jewish Home for the Aged provides peace and comfort for those who are near ing the end of the trail.
 T feel certain you must be con- vinced that these many Red Feath- CT Services are part of Waterbury and that you are vital part of them. It is only through our whole hearted support of the Community Chest that they can continue their fine and necessary work. I am be- hind them and I know you are too because when everybody benefits - everybody gives"
