State Anxious To Have Town

T]H[ANRSGIVIN(G Thank.?Kivlng began as a relig­

ious festival—but wo have loo of­ten made it Ju.st a day of feasting only.-It should bo a day ot happi­ness and rejoicing, but it has a far deeper significance for all of us. Wo must, more than ever, on Thanksgiving Day this year of our Lord, 1044, offer our sacrifices in return for the goodness that has been bestowed upon us, for the vic­tories that have been ours, for the freedom tliat has been vouch­safed to us.

The sacrifices we must make are not Just burnt offerings—but the sacrinces of the .spirit and ot our­selves. Our selfish desires and as­pirations tor ourselves alone must be sacrificed tor the good ot' all, Our u n r e a s o n i n g prejudices against people because of race, creed, or * nationality must be o tree will sacrifice to the spirit ot brotherliood. Our clever generali ties must be sacrificed to a kinder,

more tolerant tongue. Our bltter-ne.s.s agaln.st change must be sacri­ficed toa willingness to try as In­dividuals to bring His Kingdom to reign on earth. We must sacri­fice Impatience to patience, pride to forbearance, indifference to kindness, hatred to loye.

We must face this day ot Thanksgiving, not only In the same spirit the first celebrants did over three hundred years ago-with gratitude for. the mercies of the past and with talth In the con­tinuance of those mercies, saying as they did. In the words ot the Psalmist: "O give thanks unto the God ot heaven 'for His mercy en-dureth forever,"—but with the fer­vent prayer that, God willing and we tolling, we can continue to celebrate as a United people in a United States witli' all those pre­cious privileges that that word connotes.

Jute Pouches Appear Here

Shipment of thousands-of mall sacks to American-.'armed forces has made such a dent Ut the sup­ply of pouches In i New England that Uncle Sam has had to seek substitutes. Postmaster Joseph Drlscoll said today.

Jute bogs are appearing at post offices and it is said to be the first time that such a typeot sack has been used tor this purpose. While the jute bags pick up dust and dirt and the wearing qualities are not up to the cotton sack, they are "dressed up" with a patent collar and lock, according to Postmaster Drlscoll.'

Farsightedness of postal officials at Washington Is credited with pre­paration tor the shortage of pouches. Cotton Is definitely a war material.

An average of 12 gift packages are contained in each mail pouch, he sald.In all, about 75,000 sacks were sent out of New England alone during the recent, movement ot Christmas gifts to personnel of the armed forces overseas. This Is far greater than any previous "ex­port" volume in history.

Traditional Bird May Be Missing On Feast Table Turkey, traditionally on tables at

Thanksgiving, will be missing from a large majority of dinners In this locality and elsewhere tliroughout the country on Thursday. There was a shortage last year, biit ac­cording to dealers there are fewer in 1944 than there were in 1943, al­though the Review was told yes­terday that shortly after the holi­day the bird will appear in fairly large numbers.

Two managers said they had been able to supply all demands tor large birds but that tliere were tew it any small turkeys to be had.

Tho shortage is due in large, part to the millions of turkeys which have been taken by the govern­ment for those in the armed forces, and dealers report that while cus­tomers are disappointed at the prospects of having no turkey at home the average customer is not grouching. While home tables will be without turkey many hotels and other eating places are advertising dinners with turkeys as the prin cipal dish.

Associated Business is anxious to give away a War Bond. In ex­change for tliat gift it will receive in return a slogan appropriate for use to boost the town, advertise it and must be'suitable for use on bill-heads, letters, advertising, etc.

PLAN CHRISTMAS PARTY

A business meeting of the Wo­men's Republican Club was held Monday afternoon at the home ot Mrs. Addyn Beach at which time arrangements^ were made to hold the annual Christmas party on December 18 .

The Recreation Sub-Committee ol the State Post-War Planning Board, of which Willard B. Rogers Is Clialrman, has released a report showing the extent ot recreation business in Connecticut and recom­mendations for Improvement of the State's recreational facilities in the post-war period.

Pointing out the fact that the property Investment for recrea­tional property Is so widely scat­tered that measurement is diffi­cult, the report stated that in 50 Connecticut towns covered by a special study the amount ot such property totals $59,000,000, This in­cludes the assessed value of sum­mer homes as well as resorts and may be assumed to include this section. It has always been said that Branford's population doubles In the vacation months.

The report of Mr .Rogers' com­mittee states that impartial out­side agencies have estimated the revenue from recreational business in the State to be $75,000,008 per year, and states that "a very con­siderable part ot this revenue goes to others than the owners or op erators of resort properties in the form of goods and services pur­chased from the established busi­nesses in Connecticut communi­ties."

In estimating the amount of business that may be done by Con­necticut in the recreational field after the war, the report points out tliat business from distant states will compensate tor the loss of business from nearby areas as tra vel facilities become available.

The Recreation . Sub-Committee advocates the improvement and modernization" ot existing resort plants in. the State and expressed the view that there is ample room tor new resort enterprises.

The report also emphasizes the need of community planning and zoning to insure the maintenance of the "unique character of the New England village" as recrea­tional faciUties are Increased, and makes specific. recommendations tor the improvement ot relation­ships between summer residents and permanent^itizens ot Connec­ticut towns.

Mr. Rogers' committee advocates tho Increasing of facilities for hunting and fishing in Connecti­cut under the guidance ot the State Board of Fisheries and Game, and adds its specific endorsement to the proposed program of the State Parle and Forest Commis­sion for Increasing recreational fa­cilities on park and forest lands.

Stony Creek Cchool, 100 per cent participant in the sale of War Stamps, was presented by Mrs. Raymond E. Baldwin, wife of Gov­ernor Baldwin and chairman of tile Schools-at-War program of the State of Connecticut, the coveted Minute Man Flag which only those schools with a minimum of 90 per cent participation are permitted to Jly. The award was made at a special ceremony on Friday. Mrs. Alice Mellon is the principal ot the Stony Creek School.

Peter Ablondl of the sixth grade accepted the flag in behalf of the school's 92 pupils. Faculty mem­bers are Mrs. Alice Mellon, Mrs. Theresa Garden and Miss Helen Dolan.

Connecticut's school children, who in the last school year in­vested more than nine and a half million dollars In the war finance program, are poised for their part in the Sixth War Loan which opened Monday, and Mrs. Baldwin advised parents what they can ex­pect.

Each pupil in some schools of the state will write a letter home to their parents, explaining why the latter should support the Sixth War Loan with their dollars, ijnd enclosing a green E Bond applica­tion. As in the Fourth War Loan, when this plan was also used, the parents purchasing E Bonds in re­sponse to their children's letters will be asked to credit the bond sale to the school attended by the child.

Pupils who earn their own mon­ey with which to buy stamps were invited to write personal letters to Mrs. Baldwin telling her iiow the money was earned.

The state chairman said that re­ports to date indicate that Con­necticut schools are improving their 1943-1944 showing, when they accounted for War Stamp and Bond sales aggregating $9,070,249.-10, standing fourth in the country in per capita sales, and sponsoring-the purcliase of a vast amount of war equipment, including 822 jeeps, 28 Corsairs, four Mustangs, 24 trainer planes aiid eiglit field am­bulances, with smaller schools ar­ranging tor the purchase of such items as scooters, floats and para­chutes.

TAKING STOCK AT END OP FIRST QUARTER

It seems hard for us to believe that this is Number 12 of the BAST HAVEN NEWS so .swiftly have the weok.s eome and (,'one since September 14 when the first issue arrived on the wings of the unforgettable 1944 Hurricane. Yet it really is; and it is a fact that wo have come to the cud of our first quarter, a time when we can pause and look backward. Those who expected the News would he a super-duper, idtra-modern, .strcam-liuod, paper have been disap­pointed. Instead wo have proved to our own siitisfaclion, what we have long felt, thnt u successful coinnuniity weeltlj' should be homey, personal, and, if you M'ill, just a little "old-t'ushioncd". Those who thought this would be another scaudal-mongering sheet have also, we are glad to say, found disappointment. The spreading of scnndiil by the printed word or by back fence whispering is malicious and mean. The NEWS will have none of it.

- We have had many people tell us they liked the jiaper, and some of them have admitted to reading every line. Now when a \m-per is read as thoroughly a.s that the editor cannot he hut pleased with his efforts. We wish we had more time and more space to devote to newsgathoring and commont. Hut, as many, of oiu' trieiuls know, this is our avocation rather than nur.vvocation. Our arrangement of publishing •in conibination with the Branford Review has been a happy one. Our mounting list of friendly .subscribers en.joy reading about their neighbors over there beyond the Branford Hills, and the Branford folk, we lind, like to see what we arc doing here.

Especially pleasing has been the comment that,.has'Come back to us from boys and girls in service in the Armed Forces. When they come back they will be 100' percent boosters for the Home Town "Weekly. There is lio doubt about that,tor it is tho only medium which

©as we have pointed out before, carries Main street to the fox holes. All in all we are gratified with results at the end of.our third

month. And, by the way, here is pleasing information. AVe huve passed our five hundred circulation murk. We are half way to the Goal.

:.:.,..,„.„..,.... . .'. . f ' S . -Y' CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ALONG MAIN STREET •

Did you ever stop to think what living would be like here in East Haven if all of our local places of business, amusement etc., were to close, and we were obliged to go into New Hiiven for all our needs! Such a community, we dare say you will agree, wotdd be no place in which we would want to make our homes. 'I'here would be no drug store to go to in an emergency, no grocery, or market,.uo dry goods or hardware store, no eating places, no movies, within easy walking distance of home. Truly a Main street, such us we have, and a shopiiing center, sn well stocked with good merchandise, is a real boon to East Haven.

But the way some folk act you would thiidc that a busy Main street, a thriving and convenient community shopping district, means nothing to them. This kind of person bu_vM in East Haven oidy as a last resort, and usually only after he finds that the supposedly well-stocked city stores do not happen to have what he wants. If everyone noted that way Bast Haven would soon he a doomed town because our local business nieiv and merchants would have to move clsewhei'O or starve to death.

One store-keeper got confidential with us last week and told us frankly that he didn't expect to have any Christmas business to speak of until a day or .so before the holiday. "Then", he said, "af­ter they huve tired themselves out over in the city they remember there fare some things they have forgotten to b\iy and then perhaps they will come to Main street".

This is not as it should he. Christmas trade in Main street should start now ail'd continue right through the season. We believe that it will, and that every East Havener who wants to see this a bettei'-to-live-in community will cooperate toward bringing this about.

Plans are in the works, it was learned today in an Interview with First Selectman Jnmes J. Sullivan, for the establishment of a town-owned playground and athletic field. Announcement followed ne­gotiations underway for some time and conflrmatlon of tho plans await a special town meeting ot tho citizens of East Haven to be called during the coming week by the se­lectmen. The project was approved by the selectmen today.

Cost of the playground and ath­letic field will be provided for from the unappropriated surplus In the (own treasury. .

The land acquired comprises some six or more acres at the south east corner ot Tliompson and Dodge avenues. It is a part ot the holdings of a former Now Haven banking institution. Tho cost of the land Is $3,500, considerably less than that asked some years ago,

According to the plans as staled by Mr. Sullivan today it is pro posed to use $0,500 for development purposes, laying out ot football and baseball fields, track etc., as well as providing an area for playground facilities for the younger clilldron. The initial fund for playground and athletic field purposes is $10,000 with bleachers und other neeo.ssary equipment to be provided for as far as possiblq or to come later.

The municipal athletic field will be dedicated to the East Haven men and women in the armed forces, Mr. Sullivan said.

as he walked down Main street. His name is Harry Walker Brlnley and he lives at 40 French avenue. To many East Haven lads in the service and at home he Is known affectionately as "Doc".

It Is no secret that "Doc" Brln­ley was born blind, and that by the aid ot a famed surgeon he gained partial sight at the age of nine, and then began to lo.se It again at the age of 40, nor Is It a secret that "Doc" Brlnley sees and un­derstands more about life—good life—than most people see with perfect 20-20 vision.

He was born in Waterbury, Conn,, and soon afterward his family moved to New Haven and then to Middletown. singing In the boy's choir ot Holy Trinity Church in Middletown Harry Brlnley early showed an appreciation for music which has only increased with the years. The "Doc" comes from the fact that for years Mr. Brlnley specialized In the care ot patients. He studied for four years under Dr. Kurrle W. Orstrom of the- Univer­sity ot Pennsylvania where he took courses In dietlcs, psychiatry, Swed­ish message and other subjects as­sociated with the care of the 111. For 17 years he was In charge of the Parkhurst Sanatorium and al.-,so maintained a -nursing home in Walllngford. Many practical nurses received training under his gui­dance. In 1934 Mr, Brlnley and his wife moved to East Haven. For some time they maintained a nurs­ing home in High street, later re­tiring from this work.,

Stow Descendents Meet In England

Af ter 300 Years The Connecticut b ranch of the

Stow family h a s united in England after 300 years, according to an in­teresting letter to which \vc are in ­debted to Miss Gent Stowe of Thompson avenue, a member, of the family. In 1C38, she says, some of the Stow family came to America and settled in what la te r became the city of Middletown. One of the first to arrive in this group Was W. W. Stow, also Joshua Stow, anccs-ters of the East Haven woman. The name Stow may be found engraved on many of the earliest headstones in the old Middletown cemetery. Later some of the descendents moved to different p a r t s of tlie state, some sett l ing In New Haven, Wallingford and Merldcn.

Now after the passage of over 300 years, Corp. Raymond M. Stow, who is serving in the 7 th Army, in A recent let ter to his father, Silas J. Stow of New Haven, relates the incident of meeting a J o h n Stow In London. After checking up on tlieir geneology t h e American and the Englishman bearing the same name found they were m e m b e r s of the family which the Atlajiflc had separated for three centuries. Corp. Stow also learned t h a t about the year 1400 t h e Stow family gave to the city of London land which be­came known as Stow Park, and Buckingham palace now stands on the site.

Also H a s H e r Say On Picket Pence Question In Open L e t t e r

General Knox received another communlcotlon this week having to do with the Green Lawn Ceme­tery fence abolit which h e ' m a d e a few i)crtinent comments recently. While tho letter does not necessar-llly reflect the viev/s of the the EAST HAVEN NEWS Wo publish it because, as we stated previously, we believe our columns should be an open forum for discu.sslons of local mat te rs . The letter follows: Dear Don. Knox:

You are one m a n I would like to shake hand,s with, and toll you face to face t h a t I think you started something tha t a great many tax payers would like to help you, carry out.

Any ono with civic or personal pride want their tov/n to look like a prosperous and active one.

Do you think a picket fence around tho cemetery would stay there long? No—not with the class] of destructive children nuining around, they would pull them ofl as fast as you nail them on. Just to have something to do. If something is not done In the way of amuse­ment arid playground.s, this town will t u rn out d double crop of criminals, and we the citizens and tax payers are fully responsible. • I th ink the teachers should be

paid more money, and in turn be given ano ther subject o ther t h a n reading, writing a n d , ar i thmetic let the subject be (AMERICAN CITIZEN and the . MAKING OP ONE) as the pa ren t s a re too busy to teach their children r ight from wrong. ,

The consensus In the capital Is t ha t Congress will remain indepen­dent, not subject to New Deal con­trol during the next two years. I t is pointed out t ha t approximately 113 members of h e Southern Demo­cratic group can be counted upon to Join the 180 House Republicans to oppose any "New Deallsh" do ­mestic measures, furnishing a pos­sible 203 out of 435 members to lino up against such legislation.

To a slightly lesser degree, about the same si tuation prevails In the Senate. The Senate make-up Is now 57 Democrats, 36 Republicans, and one Progressive- "'1th two seats still In doubt. T h e s i tuat ion In both chambers is Interpreted t o mean tha t Congress will have the power to block undesired legisla­tion, but probably will lack s t rength to enact any legislation ovjcr a Presidential veto . . .

Veteran observers question CIO claims regarding the effectiveness of the union's p a r t In the recent campaign. These observers say it Is evident t h a t t h e CIO cannot claim' credit for the defeat of the 45 House members it claims to have unseated. The CIO also claims credit for 14 victories In the Stsnato campaign, but informed opinion Is tha t the winning Senators would have been re-elected without CIO sui^port.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "God the Only Cause and Crea­

to r " will be the subject of the Les-,son-Scrmon for Sunday, December 3, 1944.

"The Golden Text is from Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the ear th ."

Selections from the Bible include the following: "And- Elijah came un to all the people, and said, How long hal t ye between two opinions? (I Kings 18:21).

.Correlative passages from the Christ ian Science textbook, "Sci­ence and Heal th with Key to the Svriptures", by Mary Balcer Eddy, include the following: (p. 207: 20-23) "There is but one pr imal cause. Therefore there can be no elTecli from any other cause, and there can be no reality In augh t which does not proceed from this grea t and only cause."

For .some time an c0or t ha.<; been made to organize a cla.s(i in Home Nursing in s h o r t Beach.

For t h e second t ime now my fa­vorite hairdresser h a s gone oft and

, loft me flat. First Betty, who had done my hair for years, marr ied an elderly widower who had taken a Wghly remunerative war job. And now Harriot is going off' with her husband to s ta r t a dairy business.

Well, I can ' t blame Harriet , oer-talnly. She's worked h a r d for jv long time, and if s h e and her husband are over to have a home a n d build u p an Independence—and a tamlly —It's t ime they got started.

Harr ie t told m e about I t while she was sott ing my h a i r for the last t ime.

"Wo th ink I t ' s t h e right thing, Mrs. Thayer . We've been working and saving so wo'could,got on our own. Antl now we have a chance to buy a par tne rsh ip in this dairy business In Ohio."

" I t h ink you're a smoirt girl," I

told her. "Id say this was a fine opportunity to get set tor postwar business,"

"Of course wo dont know what 's going to happen," Harriet com­mented, with a note of reserve. "My husband says If they pass some s&nslble tax laws well probably do all right.

'So all wo can do Is hope—and take a chance. After all, you never got onywhere if you don' t t ake a chance,"

No, you dpn't . Where would we all bo it nobody h a d ever t aken a chonce on s ta r th ig a now business? s u n burning candles, I suppose, and cooking over a fireplace.

I only hope we fix things and keep things m this country so t ha t Harr ie t and h e r husband and the other plucky chance- takers are given a fair break I

Community House Notes

RAIDERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP Las t Friday, in a bitterly fought

game, the Ind ian Neck Raiders and Branford Rams Jr., battled to a B-f) deadlock.

No scoring occurred In the flrst period, bu t less t h a n Ave minutes before the hlilf ended, the Rams mairohed from Its o;,vn 48 for a touchdown, with Santos plunging over from the two, culminating the drive. '

Midway li]| t he thU-d period, the Raiders come smasMng back to tie t h e score. Star t ing from their own 35, Ind ian Neck mixing thei r plays well, marched to the Rams one foot line, a t which jjolnt Bob Boutelllor knifed off tackle for t h e score A pass, Bob Lake to Mickey Nai-della for the extra point failed and the score remained tied.

In the last session, a Casey to Santos pass for a Ram score was called back because of a penalty. The Ram threatened twice after th i s but the Raiders, led by Lake, BoutelUer and MonglUo, were un­yielding.

By virtue of a tie, the Raiders won the Community Council Foot­ball League Championship and will bep re sen tdo with awards a t Christ m a s time.

THE HULL BREWING CO. NEW HAVEN, CONN.

Miss J ane t G. Askert, worthy g rand matron and her assisting staff will visit Georgia Chapter, O.E.S., ,No. 48 on Monday, Decem­ber 4 a t the regular meeting in Masonic Hall.

Reservations for supper proceed­ing a t Howard Johnson's must be m a d e Immediately with Mrs. R. E. Enqulst or Mrs. Edna Wlckstrom.

* S WE MOVE closer fo victory, it wouldn't / \ he surprising if you were saying to

A \ . yourself—"What 's the big idea of asking for all this additional money/how? Isn ' t the war almost over?"

No sir, i t is no t ! Not by n long shot. Of course, for many months now you've heard mostly about , the war with Germany, where our greatest effort is concentrated. Tha i ' s why many people have the idea that the war 's practically over.

But make no mis take about it—nothing could bo farther from the t ruthl T h e Japanese war is n t remendous undertaking, and victory will come high. We'll have to fight every inch of the way.

Everything Costs More— in the Pacific War

The European war is expensive, bu t al­most everything in the Pacific war will cost more. Take transport costs, for ins tance : Be­cause of the longer distances, the same amount of freight costs 25 per cent more when shipped to tl ie South Pacific than to Europe. Andi t - takes twice a s many cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of a given size because turn-around t ime is twice a s grea t !

IVIore Planes.. .Tanl<s... Ships... Oil In addition, w e shall need more of every­thing.. M o r e B-29 Superfortresses that cost $600,000 each. More P .47 Thunderbol ts ' that cost $50,000 each. M o r e M - 4 Tanks, with

bulldozer blades, that cost $67,'417 each. More amphibious tanks—more aircraft carriers— more supply ships—more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion of Europe!

.Care for the Sick and Wounded

And lest anyone forget, we shall need more battalion aid stations—more clearing stations —more evacuation h o s p i t a l s - m o r e convales­cent hospitals—more hospital ships.

For many, many years the sick, wounded, and otherwise disabled veterans will require medical attention and care. That ' s the least Uncle S a m can do in appreciation of what they've done for us.

Maintenance for IVIillions

Did you ever stop to think how much money it costs to maintain the 11 to 12 million men and women in our army and navy? Whether the men a re actually fighting or not, they mus t bo fed, housed, transpdrled from one training center or battle a rea t o another, cared for in a hundred and one different ways. That all costs money and will continue to until the last man demobilized is back in civilian clothes.

In addition, millions of dollars will b e r e ­quired for mustering-out pay, for various ben­efits and services voted by Congress to help the boys get started in civilian life.

These a re reasons enough why patriotic Americans will want to buy heavily during the Sixth War Loan. But he re a re slill more—

A! LIMT

Winning the Peace—for Your Country If we're to win the peace a s well a s the war, the cost of living must be kept down and the purchasing power of money preserved. A reck­less inflation tha t would necessarily b e fol­lowed by the catastrophe of deflation—with Its unemployment, bankruptcies, misery and heartache—must b e prevented a t all cost.

Let 's make no mistake—a dangerous period lies ahead . The American people have nothing to fear, however, if they show in the future the same common sense they have shown in the past, and continue to put every penny over rock-botlom expenses into the purchase of more and more War Bonds.

Winning the Peace—for Yourself Want another important reason? Yourself! There isn ' t a better or safer investment in the world today than War Bonds. In helping your country, you a re also helping yourself! Never in our entire history has it been so necessary to save a s right now. We'll need money, in-individually, for education, repairs, replace­m e n t s , r e t i r e m e n t — a n d we ' l l need a lot of it.

As you can see there are many reasons, important reasons, why our Government mus t have the financial support of everyone, and have it for many months lo come.

Let all Americans do their part —for their own sake, for their country's.

Governor Urges Support Of War Fund Campaign

Anyone who has not contributed to the Connecticut War Fund Drive Is asked to try to do so as soon as possible So that the sollcllors may turn In their accounts.

Oovornor Raymond ,E. Baldwin said this week:

'Our State of Connecticut, you and your neighbors, has responded generously to the appeal of the War Fund to provide money for the USO, War Prisoners Aid, and the other agencies which are doing such a magniflccnt Job on every fighting frontl

'Nevertheless the State as a whole Is still short of Its quotal As Honorary President of the United

[ Wor and community Funds of Con­necticut, I am making another ap­peal to help us attain the state's full quotal

'You will not, I am certain want Connecticut to be the only one of the 48 states which does not ful-nil Its entire obligation to the men nghting In every corner of the globe I Perhaps you have not fully realized how urgent it is that this mortey be raised—thot without it there can be no USO Camp Shows for battle weary or wounded troops —no recreational facilities for war prisoners. Our Oovorhmcnt makes no provision for these needs I It Is up to US to provide them I ..

"Cojinectlcut has never failed tpj do Its share—but to make the War Fund Quota'$307,81D is still needed. Ask yourself seriously, right now, whether or not it would be too ter­rible a sacrlllco to give again— and to ask your neighbors to give again!"

Tuberculosis is raging with epll-domio force in many parts of Eur­ope, Bob Hope, screen and radio comedian, states in a motion pic­ture fllm now showing at the Bran­ford Theatre as a part of the local campaign to stimulate the saleot 1044 Christmas Seals.

Hope, who has visited the Pacific, European and African war theatres entertaining American soldiers un­der the U.S.O,, stressed the double strain placed upon health organi­zations under war conditions."Tu­berculosis", he said, "Is an enemy that can't be forgotten, a sneaky enemy that strikes from ambush, killing and crippling. We at home can take a crack at this enemy by buying Christmas Seals."

The 1944 Christmas Seal picture follows the precedent set last year when motion picture appeal was made by BIng Crosby In that the fllm is a production by itself and Is a semi-comedy setting. Music in fllm includes an arrangement of "Jingle Bells" and Irving Berlin's "Wlilte Christmas."

Figures released by the National Tuberculosis Association show that during the war years tuberculosis has shown an increase In 21 indus­trial states. Changed living condi­tions, the relocation of population due to the demands of war indus­try and the long hours puts In by defense workers are all seen as fac­tors in the disquieting upswing.

Buying Cluistmos Seals, Bob .Hope-sold, will help local tuberculi-' sis associations carry*the increased burden. Christmas Seals, he went on, help provide x-rays for the protection of war workers and help in the rehabilitation program.

THE'^DITdR.

Fire Marshal Ernest Wood and Police Chief Christian G. Woerhle have received the following com-mimication:

The annual holiday season Is not "Just around the corner". It Is right.In front of u.s, and with It comes a long list of special Are haz­ards Incident to Increased commer­cial activity. This Is particularly true in department stores and specialty shops dealing in corii-bustible goods. All of these stores liave additional merchandise and holiday decorations and trimmings, as well as additional packing ma­terial and a shortage of sales peo­ple. The season brings greatly in­creased patronage, causing many Istores to be crowded beyond their reasonable capacity. Added to all of this is tile greatly increased habit

lof smoking, particularly cigarette smoking.

Nature may give us a white Christmas or maybe it will be a green Christmas, and tiiere is little we can do about it, but there is much that can be done to prevent a smoky Christmas resulting from holiday hazards.

I cannot direct you, but I can, and do, advise you to take early ac­tion by inspection- of all sucii stores, the posting of "No Smoking" signs, and the enforcement of such laws and ordinances as are avail­able, including those relating to means of ogress.

Secure all the backing and co­operation that you can get, and in­terest your.local "press". One of the leading newspapers of'the State recently published an interesting editorial calling attention to the prosecution of a iai'ge number of peoplt in New York where, in one court, 73 men and 6G women plead­ed guilty to smoking In department

Istores, and each was flned $10.00. Smoking in such places is bad and it leads to worse, as when any lighted object is dropped in proxi­mity to combustible material a serious criminal offense is com­mitted. Cigarettes smoke out quick­ly, arid have to be dropped some-where. The law is as follows:

'Sec. 1694c. Fires kindled by ci­gars or burning substances. No per­son shall throw down or drop a lighted mater, cigar, cigarette or other burning substances, in com­bustible material or in close proxi­mity thereto. Any person who shall violate any provision of this sec­tion shall, if no Are bo kindled, be fined not more than twenty-flve dollars. Any person who shall vio­late any provision of tiiis section and thereby kindle a Are, and any person who shall viplate any pro­vision of Section 6128 or 0129 shall be flned not more than flve hun­dred dollars or imprisoned not more han six months, or both."

Catastrophes come unannounced. The Cocoanut Grove Are spread with phenomenal rapidity due to the character of the, decorations and the interior finish of the rooms Tlie circus flre was equally-rapid on account of the character of the tent canvass. A store flre fed with Christmas decorations and in­flammable merchandise would also [be fast, and might be equally dis-'astrous.

Pigs is pigs but if .some 2000 are to remain in Branford they must Improve their standard of living, according to Dr. A. S. McQueen, health officer and the Board of Se­lectmen.

Three years ago this December 10 the town voted some lengthy ordi­nances regarding the social status of its pigs. First tile owner must petition the Board of Selectmen for a permit.

The Board of Selectmen then is required to make a complete in­vestigation -and may Issue a per­mit "upon its findings that the pe^ titloner is not creating or mahi-talning a nuisance injurious to the public health and welfare. Within ip days after receipt of such ap-, plication a hearing must be ad­vertised.

Upon recent investigation It was found that Branford piggeries are detrimental to health or constitute a' public nuisance.

Dr. McQueen says its "clean up or shut-up" and the selectmen have issued probation permits for a sixty day period to provide time for owners to do a thorough house-cleaning Job.

Owners liave-agreed to rid their places of filth or jioxious matter and as the health officer says if they fail to do so they will not be permitted to maintain piggeries.

Within the meaning of tlie ordi­nance a piggery Is a place wiiere more than 10 swine are kept or bred. And also reads, "No person shall place, collect or allow to re­main upon the surface of land . . . or shall allow . . . any fllthy water, garbage, or other fllthy or noxious matter or shall bum any garbage or other fllthy matter whereby the owner or occupant of land in the vicinity thereof shall be injured or annoyed.': '

High Tide Floods Town Highways

Trolleys running into Branford Point after 10 o'clock this morning found tracks covered by an in­creasing iiigli tide and were re-outed so tliat the bus picked up riders at the Double Beach station.

Busses experienced some diffi­culty at the Montowese underpass and drove on the sidewalk until the tide turned about noon. For a while it was Impossible to drive under. At Short Beach near Johnson's Boat House water was over the sea wail and on Beckett Avenue reached hub caps.

Along the Indian Neck water­front waves covered the hlgliway. but traffic was not halted. Cars along the waterfront moved to. higher points for safety. Meadows were completely covered.

As the tide turned, rain ceased and thei'e was indications of sun­shine behind clouds.

Whooping Cough Now Prevalent Many cliildren are out of local

schools this month because of the prevalence of whooping cough. The Connecticut State Department of Health, in a bulletin Issued tills week states:

At tlie pi-esent time more deatlis are caused In Connecticut by whooping cough than by any other cliildhood disease except diarrhea and enteritis. Whooping cough is especially dangerous to very young children, and so it is liighly Im­portant to Immumze against this disease in Infancy. Some authorities give tile optimum age at about 6 months. Unfortunately, there is no simple test for immunity against whooping cough as there is in the case of diphtheria and scarlet lev-, er. However, if booster doses of wliooplng cough vaccine be given at three years of age and again at six years of age, and at any time a child is exposed to the disease, a high degree of hnmunity may be expected. Even though Immunizing treatment against whooping cough may not entirely prevent an attack in all cases, it will make an attack very much milder, and for that reason Is very much worth while.

Schools close Friday, December 22 for the Christmas holitfay.
