BROADWAY BALLAD .. ..
You nay be far too busy to re*
member ....
But if you do—perhaps you can
recall
The tiny inn we knew that last De
cember,
The mystic shadows racing on the
wall.
And phrases that were beautiful as
laughter
That told of love and faith and
constancy,
For we had planned a magical
thereafter
Nor stopped to ask the fiddler for
his fee ... .
■ So for a while we fed our healthy
hunger.
And wrote new lyrics to an old
refrain,
So for a while our dreams grew ever
younger
Before old ghosts came tapping
on the pane.
But now it's time to wrap those
dreams away—
. .Tomorrow's due . .and you were
Yesterday!
—DON WAHN.

A Patriotic Appeal to
Women of the North End
There is a serious shortage of ammuni
tion. Here is an emergency that calls for the
assistance of every patriotic person who can
take a war job to help relieve this drastic
shortage of ammunition.
The Waterbury Manufacturing Co. Plant
makes shell cases and parts for our armed
forces, and needs both men and women work
ers now — in a hurry!
To Women of the North End
For women who live in the North End of the city,
the Waterbury Manufacturing Co. Plant is a conven
ient place to work, right in your neighborhood. You
can get back and forth to work and home, easily and
quickly; in most cases it is only a short walk.
We need both full and part-time workers in the
worse way to help make the ammunition our soldiers,
sailors, and marines are waiting for.
Will you volunteer to take a job for this emer
gency?
A Good Place to Work
The factory is a pood place to work. It’s not the
quietest for we’re busy, but it’s friendly, and close to
home for North Enders. There is an excellent factory
cafeteria, clean rest-rooms, and a nice group of people
to work with.
What Hours Can You Work?
We need women (and men too) for all three
shifts — from 7 A. M. to 3 P. M., or 3 P. M. to 11 P.
M., or II P. M. to 7 A. M. If you can’t work a full
shift come in and see us and let us try to arrange a
part-time job for you that will not interfere with any
home routine that cannot be changed.
