These reductions were made not be-
cause of any decline in demand, but be-
cause the company believes nothing is
more important than to lower the prices
of the goods people buy.
While prices have not been changed
on all products, reductions have been
made wherever possible, in the amounts
possible. Prices of many of the most pop
ular products have been substantially
lowered.
Altogether, more than half of the COM
pany's customers will be benefited by
the reductions, which range from ~ to
1880 and from $3.50 to $500 per item,
based on the company's list prices.
The ability to maintain these lower
prices will depend on the supply and
price of materials the company buys
from others and on uninterrupted pro-
duction at reasonable wage levels.
The prices listed here carry out the
announced policy that "Any price 70 too
high if It can be reduced" As dealers In
this territory, we viii do our part!

 The Committee on Civil Rights appointed by President Truman (whom the Communists and their fellow travellers and dupes never cease to denounced has produced an excellent report which is a credit to the committee members and to the President for appointing it.

News for Returning Vets

AS a part of the Veterans of For eign Wars continuing campaign in the interests of national security,
 Dept. of Connecticut, V. F. w., Commander Robert S. Quimby
 urged every post in the Depart ment to participate in Navy Week
 and Navy Day October 27th)
 programs.
 Quimby's statement to the posts
 throughout Connecticut was, Full
 participation of all Posts in Navy
 Day observances is desired. Where
 Navy league officials are actively
 sponsoring activities, it is urged
 that that V. F. w. Posts join with
 other fraternal and civic groups in
 assisting the programs. In com
 munities where plans have not
 been announced, it is desired that V. F. w. Posts assume leadership
 ir organizing Navy Day programs.
 Navy Week 1947 is to be dedi- cated to honoring naval veterans;
 to emphasizing the need for we'll
 T anned, strong Navy; to assisting the recruiting effort; and to mak-
 ing all America aware of the ur-
 gent need for constant vigilance against all enemies, abroad and at homo. These objectives are di- rectly in line with the V. F. W. program for preparedness and Ma tional Security. We should put our efforts strongly behind the Navy Day observance.
 Announcement of Senator Chan Gurney R., S. D., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee, that he no longer conSid- CTS as sufficient the six months of basic training included in the War Department proposal for Univer-l sal Military Training, and that he will press for adoption of former Chief of Staff MarShall's plan for one year of basic training, will in crease the Veterans of Foreign l Wars support of UNIT, Robert s. Quimby, State V.. F. w. Com mander said today.
 "The Veterans of Foreign Wars | is committed to a strong policy of national defense and We believe UNIT is an integral part of any such program. If the Congress ap- proves a proposal calling for a | of a years basic training | we will be relieved and grateful
 Commander Quimby declared | Ahn " VH ~rror~o fn,, TThFFT II provided for six months of basic l training only because it was thought by organization leaders and high ranking military officials 1 that the Congress would not ap- prove a plan demanding more ba- sic training.
 Immedicate construction of one million rental units, through gov- ernment subsidy, heads a new sev- en-point emergency housing pro- gram recommended to Congress by l the Veterans of Foreign Wars housing committee. The commit l tee recommends that Congress au- thorize direct government home 1 loans to veterans, financed at three l and One-half per cent interest over 40 years, to remedy what it calls the possible collapse of the present CT loan program. Other points in the program include legislation to encourage private capital to i'm vest in Iarge-scaIe rental develop ments; halt to export of materials essential to housing until the ma tiOnal housing crisis is solved; and a request that veteran Organiza- tiOns be notified 30 days in ad- vance of other interested parties when war camps are declared sur plus, so that veterans would get first crack at purchasing these camps.

The saddest sad story to turn up
in long time Is the story Of Mark
Plant and his allergy. Mr.. Plant is
the husky singer who has joined
forces with joey Adams and Tony
Canzoneria in the well-known enter
tainment act now at the Club Cairo.
For years he has done his singing
| in spite of an uncomfortable all
ment that has struck him with un-
! failing regularity.
Every time he has opened a new
night club engagement in the past
eight years he. has come down
shortly with cold. Or what he has
been thinking all along was a cold.
The throat would tighten up and
he'd take to sprays and the other
nostrums with which q man fights
a cold. Happened to him again a
couple of days after he arrived at
the Cairo. This time Mr.. Plant con-
suited q specialist.
You don't have a cold" said the
doctor, peering at the Plant pipes.
'Throat's CONSTRUCTED though-prob-
ably an allergy. We'd better make
tests" So he made the allergy tests
and then came up with the sad
news.
Mr.. Plant, who makes his living
singing In night clubs, is allergic to
smoke.
| Latest to come along in what has
turned out to be a sort of parade
Of stars at Paul Young's Romany
Room Is Alan Gale. Mr.. Gale Is a
man well known to most of the
Romany Room patrons. Since the
clubs first season he has been
turning up there regularly, appear
ing also at the Capitol Theater sev-
eral times. After q couple Of dec
ades In show business, he Is one of
those finished entertainers who
knows what to do to make an audi
ence happy and how to do it.
The Gale performance is musical
as well as comedy, including such
items as his contrast between
Amt Misbehavin' as done in 1921
and as Louis Armstrong might do
it. A highlight is Alan's singing of
April Showers"'-in emulation not
impersonation of AL Jolson, he ex-
plains.
Others involved in the Romany
Room entertainment are Lou Spen-
Ger, one of the better tap dancers on
the night club circuit: Frances Diva,
q singer with a big and tuneful
voice, and Bandleader Lenny Rog-
ers, lighter by one appendix, who
acts as master of ceremonies.
