More t h a n hal t a century has passed since .lack the Ripper oom-mlttecd his Whltcchapel murders, but t h a t world-famous criminal has never leased to bo a perpetual topic of interest in England and America, especially In London where people still remember with shuddering horror those foggy nights and days in the fail of 1888 when t h e newspaper boys bellowed, "Murder—Another Horrible Mur­der'.

Hence, a newspapermn.'" In Fleet Street, who cannot sell anything else in London, can always sell a story about Jack the Ripper—.so they say. _ But what could ho or anyone else report on an Item ot which 11 can truthfully bo said tha t it has become an Intcrnat loi tar subject, since no crime expert of repute in any pa r t of the world tailed to ap ­proach t h a t cause celebre from ev­ery possible angle and Investigate it as he saw lit? Moreover, In addi­tion to famous criminologists, dra­matists and Action writers have boon inspired by Jack the Ripper.

Perhaps the most tamou.s recon­struction of the case was Mario Belloc Lowndes' "The Lodger" a block-buster from Us first printing and which, through the years has sold millions of copies. • I t is from Mrs. Belloc Lowndes Novel t h a t "The Lodger" has beeti brought to the screen s tarr ing Merle Oberon, Qeorge Sanders, and Laird Cregar, which is now playing a t the Loew's Poll College.

Diary ot week end trip to New York—Being from the country the flr.it blunder made was by my com­panion who turned politely to apol­ogize to a pole in the subway. Won­der where they look ail the dirt when they excavated for said sub­way. Cold and very hungry we, six of us, dropped into a res taurant tor a quick bite. At my elbow was an esculator. Needless to say I most got a stiff neck from watching tun­ny people riding up, One group ot young men, well dresseo' "nd hav­ing lots Of fun spouea the day by saying, "I.sn'1 this cricket?" which reminded us tha t wo prefer our ten year old boys in dirty white sailor caps, crazy sweater gct-ups and tagged by a soiled mu l t ot a dog to the immaculate young men ot 10 or 12 years we met a t every turn.... ....Tooii t ime out to phone Ronald Hammond, bul found the Stony Creek Theatre director was on the road directing U.S.O. .shows. Mrs. Hammond was out for the day bu l their daughter .Cookie, said she was homo from boarding .school and wouldn't I phone again later when Mother returned. One ot our party must have given Bob Lee a t the WIvli Information tha t the Swedish supper there was in cele­bration ot two anniversaries, so he, the Song Pool, sang It for ail New York to hear. No wonder Wal­ler Wlnchell sees t i t to say nice tilings about Bob Lee for he has a memory only Merril l Kenneth Wolf can equal. Saw the "Connecticut Yankee," and so closed the day. If Japan wants lo know where our Army and Navy is you may tell him, "Times Square."

Biggie Bigs coming tonight to in­spect Slate Guard a t the Armory.... ....Manager Bcobe, A. k P. coming home from hospital There's a dog named Chlca who is three and feels tha t she rates recognition in the Birthday column—No go.

This amendment exempts from the Rent Regulation for Hou.sing those "housing accommodations lo­cated in a resorl community and customarily rented or occupied on a .'ioasonal basts, which wore not rented during any portion of the period beginning on November 1, 1943 and ending on February 20, 1944."

Tho exemption provided by Ihis amendment shall bo efrective only from June 1, 1944 to September 30, 1944, Inclusive.

I t the re is the sllghle.st question in the mind ot any landlord, the Acting Director urges such land­lords to contact the Area Rent Of­fice a t 216 Crown Street, New Ha­ven, Connecticut as failure lo reg­ister housing accommodations ot any kind may result in a violation ot the Rent Regulation.

Due to housing conditions 11 has been the custom in this area lo ex­tend the summer season in many instances from early In April to late in October.

In a telephone conversation with the New Haven office yesterday it was .stated that the dates from June 1 to Seplmber 30 could be ex­tended provided the rental was ot a sea.sonal occupancy nature only.

SEEDS FOR VICTORY •- AND AFTER

Most essential spring pluiiliiig in 1!)'l4 is the sowing of seeds for the greulcHt crop of jobs this iialioii will ever have enjoyed.

Certainly no American can (piarrel with this objective, or with Ita parallel—that we must continue to wage unrelenting war to the total defeat of our enemies.

A seeoiul postiila'te Is also generally cbncecled: that high postwar employment can be brought about only as all groups recognize their joint responaibllily and opportunity in the solution of prbblonis con­fronting our nation.

It is even morn encouraging that these two steps toward job planning have now been followed by a third—toi-mation o£ the Na­tional Postwar Conference by representatives of management, labor aiid'agrlciilture. It was agreed that the groups endeavor to find "ec­onomic solutions to economic problems" and to apply the solutions through "democratic and representative processes."

^ We may well draw a breath of courage and hope for the future, In, the spring of this tortured year, when wo see sncli frank acknowl­edgment that no difterenees which divide men arc as great as the com­mon cause which unites them.

accuracies .which grieved the ped-1 ants; a2 a man his poslurlJigi—or shdwmoinshlp, if you like—were not Invariably amusing or ingratiating. And yet much that he wrote was not only valuable but charming, full of an ebullience and a delicate ImaBlnatlon which no dullard could ever hope to approach. Tlio people, therefore, were by no means on the wrong track when they gave him their accolade.

Mr. Van Loon had a mind so ac­quisitive that it was really aston­ishing. He obviously thought well of himself; indeed, much ot what ho wrote, ostensibly about other and possibly more Important mat­ters, was really an extension of Van lioon's appreciation of Van Loon. And this trait, come to think of It, was in his case rather admir­able, and often delightful. To take all knowledge, as one's province is a large and forbidding chore, but the yastness of the project never dls-maydd Van Loon; that he eoiild not hope to be entirely successful is, after alU beside tlie point. He came near enough. Whether deal­ing with fact or whimsy, or. mix­ing them,.he was never pedestrian. That tremendous hulk of a man possessed Tcmarkable stores of en­ergy; he threw off felicitous prose, arresting epigrams and odd specu­lations easily and naturally. More­over, in the present mess In which the \vorld has found Itself, he did some good work—for tills country, because he had be.coine a thorough Amerloiin,.and for the country ot his,blrtl},,for all.brave and honest Dutclunen were his brothers.

HENDRIK WILLEM VAN LOON (New York Herald-Tribune)

Sometimes the critics, viewing with mixed awe and suspicion sbtne gargantuan literary elTort of Hehdrlk Willeni Van; Loon, were inclined to ' dismiss him with the epfthet "popiilarlzer," as if the tact that his printed works had sold some six million copies made him faintly disreputable In scholarly circles. Now that tills zcstful Dutclunan, this man mountain ot siich appalling vitality. Is dead, it m'a'y be a good time to put forth the theory that, after all, there are a great many things worse than being read by a great many peo­ple^ of many races iiiid tbriguds. Doubtless hundreds of thousands of persons owe hiuch, or all; of their knowledge of ^History, the arts, geography and other matters to what Van Loon tbid tlieml it this knowledge is necessarily s'ket-chy and superficial, it is still bet ter. Isn't It. than no knowledge at a l? Ho was not above "ccrtalu la-

common good, arg,Americans, and tiiat l;hcre Is no ^crent ia t lon, be­tween them oh the group lines drawn by the totjalltarian tyrants.

"Against, hate attacks." Here is ho pussyfooting, but a bold apprai­sal, and statCnicnt of the enerny's motives—that subtle encniy who seeks to divide that ho may de­stroy, not merely the unity that Is the Urilteti States, the universal Justice which is the aim of Demo cracy, but the brotherhood that is the Christian way of life.

"And answer anyone who speaks." It is not a negative vow, not so to speak, but an active wliiingTiess to bear witness for, thd triith—to an­swer anyone whbfspeaks, in ser-ousness or in jest, along the lines of facial or religious hate. There is no saying "Well, they didn't really inean it", but a fervent desire to i make one's own position clear—to call attention to ^he e;'li, so that those who "dldn'D.mean" it may see how dangerous knd how \vrong their carelessness or indiffeirence was and how un-American it is.

In this Easter season, when the hearts of all believers turn to the the day that is tlie great feast of the Church, when through the days ot Lent we are sincerely trying lb evaluate our own faith and to put aside those things • wlilch are un­worthy of It, let us all take this pledge. Let us piit into practice these great ti-uths In which we be lieve. Let us follow hiinibly the way of'lief to. whlcli' we owe allegiance, and establish for all time tlie great Commandment of the Christian re­ligion — "Thou Shalt love thy neighbor as thj-seif."

^ JAMES PRESTON

Willie thcie !,•; no Indlcatlbn that either ConRrcss or President Roose­velt Is ready to recede a step in the showdown struggle to control mff -Jor government policy. Congress is preparing a weapon with which to tight back.

This weapon Is the Pair Oovcrn-ment Practices bill Introduced by Representative Gwynne, Iowa Re­publican. It is designed to restrict by law the now loosely controlled conduct ot government depart­ments, boards, bureaus, and com­missions, and to achieve the gener­al purpose of the Walter-IjOi,''an bill passed by Congress and vetoed by the President. Such a measure would restore to Congress control voro administrative policies and procedures, and give the houses opportunity to end the encroach­ment by the Wliito House on their thorlty.

Representative Gwynne describes his measure as "a bill to designate and make uniform those adminis­trative practices and procedures which are generally recognized as fair and equitable to the citizen and essential to orderly and efCi-clent government."

Mr. Gwynne told the House that his bill would accomplish the fol­lowing:

Make available to the public complete information regarding government rules ,and regulations, so that citizens affected by them can be fully advised of their rights and obligation's under the law.

Protect the public against "fish­ing expeditions" by limiting the growing flood of investigations, re­ports, and questionnaires to the minimum requirement of law en­forcement and clflcient govern­ment administration.

Prevent the invention by govern­ment agencies of new or special penalties or restrictions not ex­pressly authorized by the Congress.

Restate the basic riiles covering the availability and scope of judi­cial review so tiiat the citizen may readily determhio the nature and extent of his right to his "day in court" to contest the arbitrary or unlawful acts of administrative of-flcials. . ;, , fi

Undertake to create a better un­derstanding between the citizen ar\ci his government by giving tlie citizen a better opportunity to have a voice in the making of rules and regulations which affect his welfare and llveUhood.

READING & WEUTING

LUDWIG DEMELMANS

OOMETIME before the publication of "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep," by Ludwig Bcmclmans, we asked the author what his novel was about. "Well," he said, "it'i not written cxacdy to formula. The

hero is an eighty-year-old South American general subject to epileptic fits, and the heroine Is an English woman of sixty-five who carries her coffin with her wherever she goes."

To say that "Now I Lay Me Down_ to Sleep" is not written to formula Is putting it mildly. This latest Book-of-the-Month Club offering differs from the typical girl-mccts-boy type o£ fiction as 1 black orchid i from a dandelion. Those who read it for j simple entertainment will find it often ; hilarious. And those who read it for its ] underlying satire and philosophic content I

I will find much to ponder. I The story tells of General Lconidas Erosa, whose fortune comes from ;

vast properties in South America that he. has never bothered to look I over, and who up until the time of the war lives in opulent lu.xury in Biarritz. He is finally made aware of the changing world when he discovers it is no longer possible (or him to procure his favorite kind of pate dc fois gras, which has always been sent him airmail from Czechoslovakia. When the General is told he must be satisfied with the inferior grade from Strasbourg, he realizes It is time for liim to go.

So, with his most prized possessions, which include sixteen carpets, over a thou­sand cigars, and thirty-two cases of cham­pagne, the General sets sail for New York.

I Among his vast entourage of servants and ' companions is Ansclmo, the Indian, who care's'for his three GreicJ

Danes, and who has a secret dream, never to be realized, of murdcfing: his master. Then there is Miss Graves, the. Englishwoman, whom the General has' saved from drowning but who is still so ; obsessed with the subject of death that she '

, will go nowhere without her cofiin. And 1 there is Monsieur Vitassc, the French chef,, whose temper is unpredictable, but whose , ioit^c d'ecrevhics is invariably superb. And i there is also Mad.ime Lopez, the Spanish ! beauty.

Enough of Mr. Bemelmans' story. After all, you may want to read i t ' yourself, and what's the fun if you know everything beforehand? |

In these days ot billions, instead of millions, liow many of us really appireclate just how much a billion dollars is? To the average it's just an awful lot of money. Statistic­ians have figured but, however, that if a person born at the time of Christ had been given a bfihon dol­lars to spend at the rite of $1,000 a day and could live until his money was gone, he would still have about SOO years to go. By now he would just about have finished spending his first seven hundred million dollars!

In peace and in war, thousands of children throughout the world have benefltted from the National Children's Fund of the American Junior Red Cross. Food, clothing and medical supplies have gone to children in Great Britain, Russia, China, France, Poland, Iceland, Greece and Finland, and nursery homes have been establisiied- in England for children whose homes have been bombed. Aid has been given children in Alaska, in War Relocation Centers, and In disaster stricken communities in our own country.

Among the gifts made possible through this fund during the past year were: shoes and thousands of packages of hard candies for war orphans and hospitalized children Ih Russia;, educational films for children in Iceland; school sup-lilies fori Polish refugees who were resettled'in Kenya Colony, British East Africa; toys aiid games for children returning to the United States On the exchange ship Grips-holm; and the export shipment of 100,000 Gift Boxes for boys and girls in many lands.

local Boards' ResponsWilitu Both State Headquarters and Lo­

cal Boards of the Selective Service System will bo utilized to discharge the obligations of the Selective Service System in handling the re­placement of veterans in tholr for­mer positions. The services of exis­ting federal and state agencies will be utilized in aiding the veterans to secure how positions.

Assistance to Volemns Veterans, upon separation from

service,.Commander Robinson sta­ted, are being advised to report to the Local Board having Jurisdiction over the area v/hero they, will take up residence, and of tlieir right to call upon the Boards and their Re-omiiloymont Committeemen for In­formation .and assistance. Reinstatement In Former Position

A veteran is entitled by law to rein'stato'mijnt In his •former, posi­tion or to a position of like senior­ity, status, and pay; .',>'> .

(1) If such a position was in the employ of a private employer, Ihci United States Qovernliient, Its lor-'" rltorles or possessions, or the pis trlct of Columbia; '

(2) It siioh. position was nqt.^^^ temporary position; • •.' «.

(3) It he left such position sub­sequent to May 1, 1040;- In order to enter; upon active military or naval service In the land or naval forces of the United Slates;

(4) If ho satisfactorily completed his period of training and servioS" and received a. certificate to,that effect; ,. • ,. > ^

(5) It ho Is still qualified to per­form the duties of such position;

(6) It he makes application for reemployment within 40 days after ho is relieved from service; , (7) It such position Is In the em­ploy of a private employer, the em­ployer's circumstances have not so changed as to make it impossible or unreasonable to reinstate the veteran to such position or to a position of ike seniority, status, and pay.

If such position was in the em­ploy of any State or political sub­division thereof, it Is "the sense of Congress that such person should be restored to such position or to a position of like seniority, status, and pay,"

Rights After Reemployment A veteran who is restored to a

position in lihe federal government or a private employer Is also e^, titled by law to the following ad, dltlonal benefits:

(a) He shall'' be''consider'^-'-'tis having been on furlough or leave

of absence during his period of service;

(b) He shall be restored without loss of .seniority;

(c) Ho .shall loo ontillod to partl-cipalo'ln insurance or other bene­fits offered by the employer pur­suant to established rules and practices relating to emiMoyces on furlough or leave of absence In ef­fect with the employer at the llmo such person entered military or naval service; ,

(d). Ho sliall not bo fltsoharged from such position without cause within one year otter such restor­ation. '

Right To Court Action If tiny private employer falls or

refuses to grant a veteran the rights sot forth by law, he may ob­tain rcllet In an appropriate case by fliing'sult In the United States District Court for the district Ifi Which the private employer main­tains a. place of business. The Uni­ted States Attorney or comparable olllclol. It reasonably satlsned that the veteran is entitled to such rights, win on request appear and act as the veteran's attorney In the amicable adjustment of his claim or In llio filing of such suit with­out cost to the veteran. However, Commander Robinson stated, be­fore the veteran brings suoli a suit on his own behalf or makes appll cation to the United States Attor, ney for his assistance, every effort will be made by the Reemployment Committeemen and State Head quarters of the Selective Service tiystem to do everything it can to obtain the reinstatement or the veteran, The final decision bctorc sending a case to the United States Attorney is vested In the discretion of the State Director who will keep Local Boards advised of all t\u-thor action taken in the case.

Coiitroi.'«r.s-/cs uMh Employer Commander Itoblnson slated

that It Is obvious that misunder' standings and disputes will somC' times arise between the returned veteran and his former employer in respect to reinstatement. The conditions of both will necessarily change, and In some instances in many respects. Whether such changes are sufficient to deprive i veteran of the rights which Con gross'meant to confer must, of no ocsaity, depend upon the facts in each case. It is anllclpatod that the employer will incol the problem in a spirit of fair piny and In ap­preciation ot the sacrifices made by the veteran, and that he will riot take advantage ot any Icchni cailty m order IQ evade his rcspon sibllity to the veteran. It, however, a dispute does arise between the employer and the veteran, a Local Board member or the Reemploy mont Committeeman should call personally to see the em|)loyer and attempt by every means possible to reach an amicable agreement, mu­tually satisfactory to the veteran and to the employer, but without sacrificing any ot the veteran's rights.

In trying to roach an amicable adjustment, the Local Board or Us roompioyment committeeman may call for assistance upon represen­tatives ot veterans' organizations or upon labor, civic, communal or post-war planning group, veterans' advisory committees, clearinghouse committees, or any other means which he or the State Director ffiSiy deem advisable.

It unable to reach an amicable adjustment, the Local Board shall send a complete report to its own State Director.

Afedicai Attention . Many veterans upon their re­turn, for various reasons, will be unable to fill their old jobs or any other pob. They may be battle cas­ualties; ,,,,they may, have servlco-conn^dted'''- or non-servlce-conneo-ted disabilities; they may require rehabilitation, hospitalization, med­

ical appliances, or many other forms of physical care; or they may liave flnancltti problems Involving lionslons and allowances. Under sucii circumstances the veteran Ts entitled to the assistance of the Veterans' AUmlnlstratlon. If it l,s not pos,sible or fea,slblo, because of dLstance, to take the veteran to an Drtlce of the Veterans' Administra­tion In person, arrangements will bo made to place him Into direct contact with the service offices ot a. veterans' organization c,- with the American Red Cross.

It Is first necessary tor the veter­an to file a claim for pension with the Veterans' Administration and secure a rating, stating that he has a vocational handicap before veter­ans' rehabilitation can be consid­ered. In certain cases increased pensions are payable during voca­tional rehabilitation. The Ameri­can Red Cross, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Vet­erans ot Foreign Wars, and certain other organizations have been au­thorized by the Veterans' Adminis­tration to process the necessary pa­pers Involved In the above claims. It this has not already boon done at discharging points; The Veter­ans' Admlnlstratio also provides domiciliary care and hospitaliza­tion. If bed.s aru avalablo, n non-service-connected coses.

Free Enterprise . . .

a name for the w a y

America works!

W i t h o u t it the ambitious kid selling hot dogs would not become the successful proprietor of a string of restaurants . . .

Without it the littlo corner grocery store, built over a period of years to a thriving busi­ness, wouldn't haveyCxpanded—wouldn't have grown by the hard work of the owner . . .

Without it there's no incentive for tomorrow! Call it any name you like — Free Enterprise

or Democracy. Whatever you call it, it's the American way of life, which permits a man to invest his money, save it, or spend it as he sees fit.

Free Enterprise in the electric industry has given America more electric power than all the Axis nations combined . . . the same Free Enterprise that built our electric company, built our America.

THE CONNECTICUT LIGHT & POWER COMPANY // you use Electricity Wisely—You Save Coal and its Transportation

THE BEST THING a buUdog does is HANG ON! Once he gets hold of something, it's mighty hard to make him let go!

And that's the lesson about War Bonds you can learn from him. Once you get hold of a War Bond, HANG ON TO IT for the full ten years of its life.

There are at least two very good reasons why you should do this. One is a patriotic reason . . . the other a personal reason.

You buy War feonds because you know Uncle Sam needs money to fight this war. And you want to put some of your money into the fight. But . . . if you don't hang on to those War Bonds, your money isn't going to stay in the battle.

Another reason you buy War Bonds is because you want to set aside some money for your family's future and yours. No one knows just what's going to happen after the War. But the man

w i t h a fistful of War Bonds knows he'll have a roof over his head and 3 square meals a day no matter w/iaf hapjpensI

War Bonds pay you back $4 for every $3 in 10 years. But, if you don't hang on to your Bonds for the full ten years, you don't get the full face value, a n d . . . you won't have that money com­ing in later on when you may need it a lot worse than you need it today.

So buy War Bonds.. . more and more War Bonds. And then keep them. You will find that War Bonds are very good things to have . . . and to hold! '

War Gardener Plays Great Part In War

"Seven of our bombers failed to return," tho communique may tell us. That moans seventy young Araoricnns bailing out or allot down. On the water these one-man rubber life rafts save many of our fliers. Scud them everything they need.

"Let's all Back the Attack," with wtrn Wai- BMsi ,: : __.

The Connecticut war gardener has tt pa r t to play In the tor lhcom-Ing Invasion, Governor Raymond E. Baldwin said recently over Sta­tion WTIC In the Sla te War Coun­cil program, Connecticut on the Alert.

Part icipating In a statewide ro-dlo broadcast with Administrator Harold F . Woodcock ana Sta te Food Administrator Henry B. Mosle, the Governor look pa r t In a discussion reviewing the food situation facing Connecticut and the country and the need tor war gardens.

Touching upon tho internat ional Importance of food supplies In the treeing of occupied countries, Gov­ernor Baldwin said:

"I t will be good military strategy lo food those people—not a subsis­tence diet but tt diet on which they can work and flglit with us against tho Germans. We need their help.

Aside from humani ta r i an and military considerations, we have made promises to these people t ha t food win como with liberation—the Dutch, t he Belgians, tho French, the Norwegians—wherever our mil­itary commanders decide we can assault tho coast defenses o t the Nazis. Wo are oommltted lo this policy."

Point ing to the heavy bombard­ment ot German hold torrltdry and tho arrival ot a large convoy ot American troops in Europe, tho Governor said:

"Those are signs of invasion. Those are the signs ot Spring In this year ot 1044—It will be a fato-tul year for our future and the fii-ture of tho world. The war garden­er, studying his seed catalog ond planning his season's work has his part In those events."

Food Administrator Mosle r e ­viewed tho nat ional food picture and the probable demands of Army and Lend-Loase requirements.

"Tho overall figure from the gov­ernment a t Washington is 27 per­cent ot our toodstufts tor the armed forces and our allies in 1044," h e said, "The supplies tha t are left when this amount has been sot aside will bo for civilians in this country."

Citing specific requirements, Mr. Mosle said tha t t he War Food Ad­ministrat ion has ol'dered 41 per­cent ot the average 1942-43 supply ot canned peas for Its 1044 de­mands; 54 percent ot canned green beans; 54 percent ot tomatoes; 84 percent ot canned tomato juice,

"Tha t means less for civilians all down tho lino, unless we can in­crease o u r crops and Increase the total pack this year," he pointed out.

"At best, those figures are estl mates of need," ho continued. "The unpredictable factor in all of this food planning is the Invasion of the European Continent. Plans are be­ing made to carry American food 16 Europe, but how much, and when we have no way of knowing."

"Every pound ot food grown in a backyard garden liere moans one Ijound loss tha t we will demand from tho nat ional food Phe," he said. "Every aero planted to gar dens frees an acre of land some where else In the United States tor production of food t h a t can be shipped baroad. Preservation of food a t homo saves tin for com­mercial canning. I t saves labor and t ransportat ion to bring t h a t food to Connootlcut from some other state."

"We have been eating Into our reserve grain stocks tor h u m a n food," said Mr. Mosle. "Tho time Is also coming, then, when our r e ­serves ot grain will, be used up, or they will be so low t h a t we will be at tho mercy of the weather. Wo will bo dependent on the current crop ot grain, without a reserve supply to make up tor a poor yield."

In reviewing plans for a Connec­ticut War Council war garden pro­gram in 1944, Mr. Woodcock said:

"From the individual and family viewpoint, it Is plain common snose to grow a garden again in 1944."

Mr. Woodcock said tha t h te food produced and canned by war gar­deners last year was more than enough lo make up for the com­mercially canned food taken by the Army and Lond-Lease.

"I t was this i iome-canned food, and nothing else, t h a t made it pos­sible to reduce the rat ion points on some canned vegetables," he said.

"Unless the homo production ot food Is a s great th is year as It was In 1943, it will be necessary to In­crease tho rat ion points again, wo are told by tho OPA," Mr. Wood­cock reported. "Tha t has a mean­ing tor every family."

CONSERVATION OF PAPER Following Is a copy ot a telegram

received by Mrs. E. Wesley Frost, President ot the National Council of S ta te Garden Clubs:

'America faces a critical paper shortage duo to increaised use ot paper in nianutacturo and delivery of war weapons and supplies. This Is aggravated by extreme shortage of m a n power to cut limber for pa ­per mills. We must have eight mil­lion tons of waste paper in 1944 to satisfy military and essential ci­vilian needs. A largo part of this paper must come from tho homo. We are looking to the women ot this nation to salvage all the pa­per they can.

Farm Accidents Show Increase

The Connecticut Safety Commis­sion CHtlmaled recently t h a t 14 persons will bo killed In Connecti­cut farm accidents on private pro­perty this year unless operators of farm automotive equipment and other machines for increasing pro­duction when manpower la scarce exercise unusual care and caution.

Thirteen human bel,ngs were killed by accidents on their homo estates during 1041 In this s late. Figures for 1043 are Incomplete, ac ­cording to the Safety Commission, bu t tho Indications arc tha t the total will bo about tho same as the average for the two preceding years, perhaps even one or two such doaihB greater.

"It Is fair to assume, therefore," tho Safety Commission stated, " tha t during 1044 casualties 'down on the farm' will be oven greater because of the pressure being ex­erted on tillers of the soil to In­crease crop production. Laboring under adverse conditions, with In-suftlclent help and through long hours, Increases working hazards for tho average man.

"Tractor farm accidents have In­creased substantially In the past three years. The annual death toll In farm accidents has more than doubled since the war s tar ted. While tractors aro essential to cut production costs and to permit de ­velopment of large acreage, those machines are not to be considered lightly as hazards and should be operated with as much caution as any automobile on the highway."
