S ta te Highway Added Under tho Federal Highway Act
of 1944 lit was provided t h a t the system would b'o designated Jointly by the states. T h e Nat ional - In-torroglonal Highway Committee In its report to the President Included all ot the routes excepting U.S. 8 and Connecticut 15. These were added by tho S ta te Highway Dep a r t m e n t to the final recommendations.
Commissioner Hill pointed out tha t Connecticut's designations are noteworthy as compared with o th er slates, on'Ut least two counts— the density of traffic on Its routes and the percentage ot total road mileage Included. Except tor Delaware, which has only a .?hort section of the Philadelphia to Balt i more route as I t s entire system, Connecticut has the highest average trai l lc on the rura l portions.
State Program Tho ' system Is especially signifi
cant, Commlssldner Hill said, when it Is realized tha t i t traverses those cities whoso highway problems are now receiving a t ten t ion from the slate. The four largest, Hartford, Now Haven, Bridgeport and Water -bury, a s well as others ot lesser population have already been the subjects of tralric studies.
New Haven heeds are currently being studied, Hartford and Water-bury received , a t tent ion recently and preparatory work has boon performed In Bridgeport. The development ot U.S. 8 Is .cited as an example ot planning to fit traffic needs Instead of existing " through" routes. A study in the Waterbury area, made two years ago, led to development of a plan tor a m a jor Improvement into and through tho city, in place of continuing to develop the existing route which goes some distance north ot the city.
Since the first studies In the Nau-gatuok Valley, the depar tment has continued to develop Its programs for maior Improvements on the basis of trafflo origins and destinations. However; t h e necessity for careful Interrelation of- projected routes with o ther Improvements both Inside and^ outside the urban areas h a s been recognized. For example. In the Waterbury study for an east-west route . It became necessary to provide for the possl-jlllty ot an eventual major nor th -louth route. Likewise, In planning ;or t h e relocation of US 6 to route t through the city. It was neces-mry to consider how such a rout-ng would fit east and west outside it t h e city.

Cancer Society Reports Record in-Contributions
The American Cancer Society rC' pa r t en today tha t on July 31 one month before books are closed on the 19'16-47 fiscal year—cancer contributions totaled $11,814,749 exactly $385,251 short ot the $12 million goal.
I t was the greatest sum ever raised for cancer-control. Forty-one ot the Society's 59 divisions through out the nat ion had exceeded their quotas. Only $10,108,207 was raised during the 1945-46 fiscal year, but tha t was ten times the amount raised during the preceding year.
"It is Impossible to predict a t this time whethoi- we will meet our goal," said Elmer Bobst, national campaign chairman. " I t all depends upon the collections this month ."
"An impressive contribution already has been made. I t indicates tha t the American people a 'o bo-coming aware ot the desperate crusade against t h e c rudes t killer of them all. For this fine showing, tho na t ion can thank the volunteer 'workers throughout the land who have labored n ight and day to secure funds for the research, clinics and educational drive which someday may end the cancer menace."
Bobst said tha t while many local drives stopped after exceeding their quotas, funds still a re being received a t the national head-quartei's of the American Cancer Society, 47 Beaver Street, New York

BY PAUL H. STEVENS
BAND CONCERT COMING : Although wo canuot annonuce the duto iis yet, we uuders land
t h a t the newly organized H a r r y K. Bar t l c t t i)ost, Auiericnu Legion B a n d , is m a k i n g prepara t ions for a band concer t to be held on tho Town Green some Sunday afternoon in September.
Tliat is welcome news .to many of the townspeople, who recall t h e very pleasant , although no t too well-at tended, scries of hand eon-cer t s that were hold on the Town Green two years ago this suuuner u n d e r the auspices of a committee then headed by George Munson. The re is .something restful and relaxing about a band concer t on a summer afternoon and they have a lways proven popular .
Wi th a local band, and under tho sponsorship of the American Legion, we look for a large and appreciat ive audience a t the forthcoming concert. Those who have heard the new band, under the direc t ion of B a n d Leader Donroe, arc loud in praise of its performance.
The band n o w comprises 28 members, and they have been out-fittd by tlie Pos t . Baud Leader Donroe tells us tliey have been pract ic ing up on some new band music and will be ready to pu t on a real flnislied per formance when they present their concer t on the Green. W e believe the band will receive the suppor t of a la rge segment ot the townspeople, and that thi.s baud concert will be but a prelude to m o r e good music for Eas t H a v e n when ne.xt summer rolls aroiuid.

WHY T H E D I F F E R E N C E ?
Some of our friends here in East Haven, who have been vacationing nor thward in Canada and the Provinces tliis summer, r e t u r n wi th s tor ies ot low prices tor food and oilier commodities prevail ing there which are almost unbelievable when conipared to the prices here a t home.
W e read in t h e papers and hoar over the radio reports also of " b o r d e r r a i d s " where American families cross over the internat ional l ine to buy food a n d clothing a t a th i rd to a half less than tho prevaili n g ijrices on th i s side.
W e have a l imited knowledge of eeoiiomics. W h a t wo d o n ' t know would fill more 'columns t h a i i w e ' d o know.. There is, probably, a ^'ood reason for the difTercnde in prices, b u t wo would l ike somebody who does know to expla in why the same sor t of merchandise eau be sold in Canada and the Provinces for low prices wliilp here, amid plenty, we must pay so high.
A local res ident , recent ly home from a s tay in Nova Scotia, lia.s promised to give u.s a list of the prices ot a tow commodities there so t h a t we eau p r i n t them in comparison with Connecticut prices. W e believe such a comparison wil l be interest ing and may arouse enough in te res t here a n d elsewhere to raise per t inen t (|uestions where t h e y >vill do tho most good.

"Certain landlords througliout this state a re now conductinK n war of nerves against Connecticut veterans." This cllarge was made today by Artiiur E. Daly, State Commander of The American Legion, as he attacked unfair p rac tices In rental housing.
"Veterans should ne t bo blulTed Into signing new lea.ses calliiig for an increase In rent," Commander Daly warned, " a n d reports a re rcaeliing Legion Headquarters t ha t landlords a re now sending out notices which arc nilsloading and In-accurntel"
Commander Daly doolarod tha t agents representing n considerable number of landlords have notiiled all tenants t h a t tho leases they had prior to July 1. 1947, are now being terminated. "Tho obvious piirposo of this termination notice is to confuse tho tenant , make him feel insecure and force him Into signing a new lease a t a higher rental ," says the Legion olTlclal.
"Veterans and other tenants should not be misled-rent laws give tenants adequate protootioh and will continue to give It, a t least until July 1940.' Commander Daly continued. "Another inaccurate '.scare' notice currently being circulated by landlords states tha t the new law provides for tlie execution of a lease a t 15 per cent above the former maximum rent. This Is not true.
"The law spoclflcally states t ha t the Increase may be 'not more than 15 per cent over tiio old maximum rent' . In other words, the increase can be one per cent, five per corit or anything l.sc tha t docs not exoacd 15 per cent." '
Commander Daly reported today that landlords arc also circulating third type of printed notice "designed to frighten tenants into paying higher rents" . "This kind of circular tells the tenant t h a t his landlord is looking for an apar tment himself and t h a t ho will bo able to evict thi t enan t within 18 day's if a lease is not signed. A compotont attorney will toil tenants tha t such a s ta tement by a landlord is ut terly ridiculous." I Mrs. Louis Prusslck of 10 Homo

What Does That Phrase
I OU'VE probably noticed that we include in our advcr-' . ' . - ' • i ' - ' - - . , 1
tising signature the phrase, "A Business-Managed, Tax;
Paying Company". What docs that mean to you?
! For one thing it means that experienced businessmen aire
the men who have successfully directed our Company in the
service of Connecticut for the past 30 years. Under business-
management, The Connecticut Light and Power Company
has always endeavored to provide the best possible service
at the lowest possible cost. ^
The Connecticut Light and Power Company is "also a'
"Tax-Paying" company, vifhich means that unlike politically-
managed government electric power projects which pay no
taxes to the ifcdbral government, •wc pay out full share, just
as you do. -You pay, and we pay the taxes which help support
the government electric ^rawcr projects..

Puzzled? Perplexed? Ask Julia Lyncath
Dear Jul in; My husband and I left or. our
^ .vacation laal week only to be called back because our three year old daughter was so unhappy with my mother that she wouldn't even eat. This Is the one time or the year when my husband and I can vacation, Wliat would you suggest us to do so that we can take an occasional weekend off?
Upset Mother It seems a shame that you two
canhot go oiway for a vacation! especially since as you say, this Is the one time of the year that you can bo together continuously for any length of time. Perhaps your "leaving technique" was to blame. By this I mean, you might not have prepared your daughter for your vacation or' the fact that someone else was going to take ypUr ploce temporarily. A child Is very easily Upset by a change—any change. And when this change Is drastic such as having the Mother go away, It must be done gradually.
Did you spend enough time preparing your daughter for the new situation? Or did It come as a shock to her? Did you have your Mother stay with you at least a few days.before you started? Was your Mother prepared to take over both her homo and the child and do Justice to each? Or, If she stayed
!at your home,' did .-iho know enough about where things are kept to'bc
'able to act quickly In an emergency? All these things must be thought out before you can successfully leave n three year old for any length of time.
Your vacation trip, although interrupted. Is over. Plan now 'for your next one. Dear Julia:. i
I am In love with a boy who was discharged from the army for mental reasons. Should I marry him anyway?
Anxious I connot answer your question!
until'I know how serious his case Is or was. Surely, it would be unwise for you to get married to n man who Is still mentally 111. On the other hand, he might have
[suffered n temporary neurosis, which returning to civilian life, might have been overcome.
How long have you known this man? Are you familiar enough with his specific problems to be the kind of wife he needs? My
[suggosUon would bo for the both of you to see a competent psychiatrist and discuss all aspects of the situation with him.

from the other state buildings, two of which, like Connecticut's, will this year be managed by State Development Commissions and will parallel this Slate's move to show overall stale development rather than limit exhibits to agricultural and Industrial material."
Tho "T'home-plece," according to Mr. Loring,. will be an eye-catching mural . type display running the entire 64-foot of the back wall of the'biilldlng. Tho painting, sup-Iplemonted with cut-outs to give it a threedlmenslonal efect, Is to be a modification of the masthea design of the Commission's monthly publication, "Connecticut Progress." These words In huge cut-out letters and a "wheel of progress" In motion are to bo superimposed over a back-gi-ound depleting Industry, commerce, ti'an,sportation, agriculture [and recreation.
The exhibit directly under tho progresis mural and those running from It down each side of the display ai'ea are being designed to blend With It and with the general color 'scheme for the building. Pastel green is the predominating color-planned for the display hall with darker shades of green used In the trim.
The work of Installing exhibits In the: State structure will begin as soon as the .lob of restoring and redecorating It after six years of military use has been completed.
Mr. Loring said the Connecticut Building will be opened along with all others at, the exposition at 1 P. M., Sunday, Sept. 14, and will be open dally thereafter from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. through Saturday,. Sept. 20..

lam Doollttle's descendants num-3er .some 11.000 Individuals, each of A'hom can trace their descent direct ,0 this sturdy pioneer, and the 14 children borne by his 2 wives. John Doollttle, his brother, never married.
One of the high moments In the convention was when those present were Instructed to advance to the 87 foot long genealogical chart and add. In their proper lines of descent, the names of the new Doo- i littles, borrr duiing the years Intervening between the last National Meeting.
Most of the younger Doollttles are the 10th. generation; those now In their prime, the 8th; those more elderly the 8th; and a sui-prlslngly large number, of advanced yeajs, the 7th.
Coming to this "Land of Freedom" from Great Britain, It Is said that today, there are now no Doollttles habitant in the "Old World". They are all Jn tho New World, many In Canada, though mostly In the United States.
Instcrcsting facts about the family are:
1-Evoryone boi-n with the name 'Doollttle" Is related by absolutely
traceable, provable lines of descent, from Abraham Doollttle, of Connecticut, around 1640.
2-The name Itself Is believed to be the contraction of tho surname, de L'Hotel, or Dolleta, a follower and aide of William the Conqueror, when he landed in England, from Normandy, In 1066 A. D., and whose Christian name was Rudolph.
3-Every one of the 10 generation to the present, has contributed much to our country and the world in scientific, agricultural, political, religlousaud business achievement, to wit:—
Abraham's part In King Philip's Indian War, and Charter Member of Massachusetts Bay Co.
Ephrlam, Colonel of Minute Men at Concord & Lexington
Rev. Benjamin, Prominent Colonial clergyman.
U. S. Senator James Rood Doollttle, from Wisconsin, of whom President Lincoln spoke as being hi? one true friend In the Senate.
Thomas B. Doollttle, Who col-' laborated with Bell in the perfecting of tho telephone. Every time you hear the bell ring, this was his corilrlbution, in addition to the alloy of copper which permitted [long distance wires.
Gen. Charles Curtis Doolittle, in thcCivll War.
Amos Doolittle, who did the fl.-st engraving on copper plato, and whoso depletion of the battle of Lexington Is the only one in existence, and Is found .In most of our Pllstory books.
Rev. Henry Doolittle, who domesticated the Blackberry.
Dr. Percy Doolittle, the Inventor of demountable automobile rims, and many other Inventions.
Lt. Oen. James H. Doollttle, winner of the Schneider Trophy for Speed Flying, developer of "blind" flying, leader of the raid on Tokyo, Commander of the 8th Air Force, etc. etc.
Lieut. Elmer Doollttle, who served in the Lafayette EsquadrlUe during World War I.
And many others, Doollttles, be-lyingthe Ir their name have done a lot. There are many families by this name In East Haven and throughout Connecticut, home of the first American Doollttles

The Weekly Press
Keeps Moving Ahead . . . Several items of interest ami importmicc have
taken place in tlic last few weeks which are worthy of mention hecause they are important milestones in the field of weekly publications.
Perhaps the most noteworthy of these aocom-pli.shments is that of the Milfortl "News" and the Milford "Citizen." Both these papers fought vehemently to hring about the defeat of anaehine politics in their community. When the people of Milford went to tho polls, they bore out the newspapers' stand and voted for the Council-Manager Bill by a healthy majority. It was a difficult fight uU the way down tlic line. The papers and the people of Milford were faced with the best that the opposition could muster all the way from the' time the bill was introduced into the Assembly right down to the day the citizens went to the polls.
Milford will benefit by its triumph over the politicians, though its battle is by no means ended; and the entire newspaper publishing industry will benefit by and nuiy well follow the d.xainple set by these crusading papers for the well-being of their townspeople.
In Hamden, The Hamden "Chronicle" has just celebrated its fir,st ainiiversury. In view of tho fact that two previous attempts to establish a paper in that coinuuinity failed-and that pessimistic predictions were forecast by observers upon the beginning of this publication, it seems (inilo an achievement that the publishers and editor.s have lasted this Ions. Not only have they lasted this long,'but they have established themselves solidly with the peo|)le and with the merchants of llamdeu. It 's a jileasure for us to extend our congratulations and wishes for continued success. This example is merely another in the already long-proven series of examples set by other community newspapers, I hat a publication established for the benefit of its community is bound lo receive and edify the support of its people.
For several weeks now we have niisscd the wit and voluminous writings of the editor of the Stafford "Press ." The editor has been confined in the hospital with some mysterious ailment, and has been trying desperately to get oil: his back to resume writing bis editorials. We wish hiin well and hope he does return to his typewriter soon. His editorials are eagerly awaited and read each week in these offices, as they must be among the people of Stafford Springs and its neighboring communilics.
The "Versus Virus"
Is Upon Us. . .
It was the sincere hope in all of us a few years ago that with the end of the meiuice of Hitler and the Japs, and with an excellent working agreement among the allied powers that peace would be but a. nuitter of a few years. With the cstaD-lishment of the United Nations, that dream seemed so much closer than ever before. Then things begini to happen, until now, the world seems farther from peace than it has ever been, though there is no actual, large-scale, combat going on anywhere.
The key word today seems to be "versus". It 's United States vs. Kussia; loft vs. right; labor vs.' management; Arab vs. Jew; Atlee vs. Churchill; Hindu vs. Moslem; Prance vs. U. S.-Great Britain ; Great Britain vs. United .States; inflation vs. depression; Brewster vs. Hughes; Indonesians vs. Dutch. And so on with many more illustrations of this new disease of the Earth "versus."
It might be very easy to become pessimistic about the future of the world in the light of conditions as they exist today. The one shining light in the world, the United Nations, seems to be having difficulty accomplishing its objectives in view of the split between the United States and Russia. In the Greek crisis, Russia has coiuiistently blocked the will of the majority of nations on the .Security Council by her veto of all measures proposed by that body in its effort to solve the troubles of that country. The United States has offered one final chance lo the Russians to accede lo the will of the majority before, we (the United States) invoke Article i31 of UN charter. This article affirms " the inherent right of individual or Collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken tho measures necessary to maintain hitcrnational peace and security."
This may be a solution to our version of the problem, but what if Russia assumes the same privileges on issues in which she has been blocked hy the United States and the nations oa its side!
It leaves us wide open for similar application of charter terms by the Russians. It can only be hoped that the matter can be solved in the Security Council without such action when the Council meets again.
Yet this stalemate between Iho United States and Russia is indicative of the stalemate in all parts of the world. In view of this fact, it is worthy to note the solution oitered by the British in liulia. There, the only solution seems to be to divide the country between the Jloslems and Hindus. In Palestine, the UN commijsion is working on a recommendation to partition Palestine between the Jews and Arabs. Is that to be tho ex-ami)Ic set for Ihe world! Are we to solve our problems by dividing the world! If this principle of division is to be the key to the problems of Ihe world, we cannot hope for peace for more than a few years.
The aims of the United Nations arc to bring the world together into one entity—the principle is to mold together not to scparnte. Yet the virus of " X versus Y" is spreading rapidly throughout the world.
In our humble opinion the panacea for the "versus virus" rests with the'United Slates and Russia. AVe arc spending billions of dollars in our effort to combat the spread of commuuism. In Italy, we have cancelled a billion dollar debt in an effort lo add prestige to the llallau government now in power. We have sent millions to Greece and Turkey in an effort to bolster democratic forces there. We are coiulucting talks with the British to nuike the terms of our nearly,four billion dollar loan easier on them that they might help us in our fight against conininnism.
All these measures are like the year after year fight in tho Missouri River basin at flood time. The people work like beavers every year to holster the dikes and dams, but not until the last minute when the flood is practically upon them. Tlie solution there is to conduct an intelligent, locli-uical and far-reaching jiroject all the way from the source of Iho River for adequate flood control to prevent these yearly floods. So it is with the United States; our spending of billions is merely a last minute effort to stop the flood, when we should be working at the source of the flood, the Kremlin in Moscow. This docs not mean appeasement. We know oidy too well M'hat that leads to. But it does mean a hammer-home policy by our top men at the source of the trouble rather than by iueffective means far at the perimeter.

WHAT NOTS BY OIT* NOUMD
Fire Is Alvyays *
Imnriinent... (Prom the East Hartford Gazette)
Summer and early fall present special seasoiuil fire hazards which are of particular concern in small towns, forests and agricultural areas.
Carelessness ui our forests has destroyed millions of acres of magnificent timber — and has robbed our country of some of its beautiful vacation spots. Under certain conditions, living trees become literally explosive. A large proportion of the forest fires in the past have been the sole and direct result of carelessness on the part of campers, hunters and fislieriaeu.
"The most extreme care must be taken in disposing of cigarette butts, matches and other iii-llammablcs. Thcj' must never be thrown from cars. And, when you are through with a canipfiro, take everj' precaution to make sure it is out. Soak it with water, then bury it in dirt.
Ill country towns, gra.ss fires are a constant source of trouble^and some of them have led to conllagrations. Every community should have and enforce a law requiring property owners to keep grass cut and every property owner should cooperate wliolebeartodly. His welfare—perhaps his life—is at stake.
On the farm, constant vigilance is the price of fire .safety. Wide firebreaks should be plowed around grain fields and haystacks. Barns and houses should be free of rubbish. Every care should be taken with gasoline and other infianj-uuible li(|uids. Mpst farms arc a great distance from fire departments and when a serious fire breaks out, heavy lo.ss is inevitable.
The only way to lick fire is to work on the proposition that it is always imminent—and to act accordingly.
Their Own
Worst Enennies... (From the Christian Science Monitor)
The generals and the admirals at times show an aptitude amounting to genius for being their own worst enemies. Just now it's the generals.
At tile very time when recruiting lags, when a half-suspicious Congress has permitted Selective Service to die, when the Army's pet program, Universal Military Training, finds the going pretty much uphill, comes this story about Lieut. Gen. John C. H. Leo and his Mediterranean command.
General Lee is evidently an officer of at least superior ability and perhaps extraordinary efficiency. He is known as a terrific worker who expects and exacts the utmost from the officers under him.
. But he has long been considered a raartinent even by his brother officers. And his luxurious residences, sleek limousines, and special train were written up in the American press during the war.
Why, then, need General Eisenhower "investigate" him—other than the charges about super-liarsh discipline and a Lichfield-like punishment camp in Italy! Why need the Army knowingly tolerate such extravagances! General Lee's way of doing things stands at cipjiosite poles to that of Generals ELsenhower and Bradley, for instance

Iplaywrlght George Sklar to adapt 11 to the legitimate stogo.
Margaret Hayes, who will portray the title role, has been a Paramount Pictures star for some time and has appeared .In such "A" releases as "Sullivan's Travels," "They Got Me Covered," "The Lody Has Plans," "Louisiana Purchase" and "Iho Glass Key."

LandLs. The ihA]or of the |cilritpn PlaylitJuse opens for this Pennsylvania-Dutch comedy by Patterson Ortcne on Monday night, August 25th."
This comedy about the man of 'the house who rules with a whip mad i of steel a n d ' hot pokers is the ideal show ca.se for the talented and lovely Miss Laiidls. The Theatre OUlld originally launched this production In l O ^ and its Broadway success resulted In Mlis Landls decision to use It as summer fare. . Je.wlc Royce Landls Is one leading
actrcss-of this time-or any-other tlme-who can easily state that she has not been typed. Under the healthy and handy auspices of the Theatre dUlld she has appeared .in many dlvprslfled roles. First is Sttroyan and his "I^ove's Old Sweet
[Song," with Waller Huston; as Mama In "Papa Is All"; Hermlone in
" l l i o Merry Vl'lves of Windsor", In which Charles Coburh was Falstaff. MI.13 Landls did a Southern widow belle In'"Solid South," the Dutchess
lot Towers, In "Peter Ibbelson," and the actress In "Merrily We Roll Along". Anothef of her most suc-
[ccssful roles was In "Love From d Stranger" and finally who can forget her performance of the mother ,in the highly enlei'talning comedy "Kiss and Tell". Jessie Royce Landls Is no stranger to the Clinton
I stage for she worked for Samuel Wasserman two years ago in the very same "Kiss and Tell".
"This summer she has straw troupod In "Dame Nature," the world premiere of O. B. Shaw's 'The Millionaires," and in Ibsen's 'Hedda Oabler". This tall Miss
Landls Intends turning producer with Irving Cooper to present Patterson Greene's latest comedy "Music In the Distance". The Clinton Playhouse Is Indeed fortunate In having Miss Landls In the role of "Mama" since she starred In it for the Guild both on Broadway and on tour.
Appearing with her will be Guy Spauil, Helen ' Carovo, Andree Wallace, Emmett Rogers and Hugh Franklin. Reservations may be made by calling Clinton
the 80 Corps that attended frorti both out of the SlEite and within the State the only tie for first place was between the Bradford Afanor Corp d n d t h e Washington Park Corp of Merlden, Conn. •This Is something that very rarely
loccurrs, particularly with Ihc'scor-'ing broken-down Into one hundredth.?. The total score for both Corps
I was 200.07. Howevpr due to a new Istate ruling cstabll.shed this year. In.stead of playing off the lie, the
[judges decided the eliminating factor would be ensemble or tone. It so "happened that Washington Park Corp had the advantage of a fraction of d point In this particular catagory, therefore was
[awarded first place even though Bradford Matior scored higher In other brackets. Bradford Manor was awarded .'second place. This all took place ,ln the Junior Combination Class.
Also of Interest to you may be the fact that Miss Carolyn Daniels wa^ awarded second place In Individual
[drumming. Tills covered all female drummers In the entire Junior Cla.ss. Miss Daniels Is a member of the Bradford Manor Drum Corp.
Thanking you for past favors and sincere cooperation, -I remain.

GOLF DRIVING RANGE IS PROVING ro rULAR
The Golf Driving Range on Ilduto 80 ,ln Totoket Is attracting lots of East Haven golf enthusiasts these days, (and nights too) and the proprietor, Al Anastasl.o states that many golfers are Improving

ADVERTISING ART Advertising, to pay, must be In
the right medium. In the right manner, and a t the right time.
Just becrfuse someone .Is willing to spend a little money with a newspaper does not moan tha t he Is an advertiser. It may show that ho is a spendthrift.'
The News believes firmly In the power of advertising In .Its columns. Wo feel certain that It will help the business upon whicli it is spent. However, no advertiser should get tlie foolish Idea that all he has-to do Is to put any old thing .In a printed appeal, and the magic of advertising will bring home the bacon.
Successful advertisers are men and woriien who have studied the art, who understand some of the psychology which sways buyers, and know enough about the things advertised to be able to buy and sell them correctly.
For East Hampton merchants, advertising ,1s not Hie most important pa r t ' o f their business. I t Is, however, an Important factor In merchandising, which has demonstrated Us power to produce sales ros'ults. I t should be utilized for that purjioso and ho other,
We have no obltctlon to any person's spending money as he or she feels proper, but .11 sometimes gives us a pain In the neck to see what some merchants, buy and charge to "advertising."
•The day Is rapidly coming to an end when a merchant, or business man, can sell just anything. The gradual production of desired commodities means that tlie war sear-city ;ls to become a thing of the past. Manufacturers and merchants will soon have to go after customers, and this means Intelligent advertising.

[the Boa,rd of Lccturc-ihlp of T^o Mother Church, The First Church
ifaf Chrl.st, Scientist in Bo.stim', Mas.'iachu.setts delivered a lecture entitled, "Christian Science: Tlie 'Scleliee of Life and Healing" Sun-I day afternoon, August 17th In Mil-ford Town Hall,.
The lecture was given under the [au.splces of First Church of Christ, [scientist, New Haven, In co-opcra-tlon with Christian Science Society, Mil ford.
Mr. Joseph H. Roberts, First Reader of Christian Sclcnec Society, Mllford Introduced the lecturer who spoke In part substantially as follows:
The general misunderstanding of the teaching and method of Jesus has been a great tragedy to mankind. I t has brought untold
[misery and suffering to the race. The man Jesus was a human being. He was born of a virgin mother, was brought up, lived his life, did his work, and finally disappeared from the human .scene.
[How did he differ from other men? In the fact that, although he was human, yet his character was
jah expression of the dlvlne~It was as neai'ly divine as It Is possible for any human character to be. Through the God like character of Ills human life he .bridged the gulf between'God and men; he bi'ought heaven down to e a r t h . H c demonstrated the coincidence between the human and the divine,
T'he Bible gives us no descr.Ip-lon of the Master's face or form, but It docs give us accurate and beautiful accounts of his spiritual nature and work. Jesus taught!
'morality and. spirituality; he | taught nothing material. He taught men how td be good and how to be free by teaching them how to think cor.rectly. If we hope to emulate Jesus in living a truly good life we must understand the Principle and" action of h i s ' thoughts. V/c must understand the Mind of Christ the divine
[Spirit which animated Jesus.
The communication of true thoughts from God to man Is duo to the relationship which exists between God and man. Let me read to you a paragraph from Science and Health (p.'336):
"Immortal man was and Is God's Image or Idea, even the Infinite expression of Infinite Mind, and Immortal man Is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind. He has been forever In the eternal Mind, God; but Infinite Mind can never bo in man, but is reflected by man. The spiritual man's lon-
|scIonsness and individuality
[always spiritual and eternal." Realizing our oneness with
eternal Mind, we shall find spiritually right thinking Is natural and unlabored.
Humanly .speaking, we need to change our minds. How is this to be done? Many believe they can do It thcm.selves. They bejleve they have a power within themselves which they call "will power" by which they a r c able to control and regulate their mental processes. I t Is •rtlso believed that one per.son can influence an- I other though the medium of the!
'human Will. But will power is not! scientific, because It .Is a belief of! an effect without a cau.se, an a t - [ tempt to separate the creator; from His creation.
Human will power Is characterized In Science and Health (p. 490) as "an animal propensity, not a faculty of Soul. Hence," the statement continues, ",lt cannot govern man aright. Christian Sllonde reveals truth and Love
[as the motive-powers of man. Will—blind, stubborn, and headlong—cooperates with appetite
land passion. From this cooperation arises Its evil. From this a'.so comes Its powerlessness, since all power belongs to God, good."
I t should be clearly understood that Christian Science healing Is not brought about by human will power. Truth shows us a more excellent way—the Christian way of meekness, patience, and Intcili-gent faith in God.'

School Busses Run 4 Years Minus Fatality
Connecticut lias not experienced a sciiooi-cmid fatality involving school bus transportation since January 1943, according to a report filed with the Highway Safety Comml.'ision by the Tlate Department of Education. During the past school year 24 school bus accidents were reported with two personal Injuries but Connecticut has recorded four school years in succession without a school bus fatality,- according to Daniel T. Nolan, supervisor of school transportation.
One thousand and nineteen vehicles were used In the 169 towns of the state lo transport 46,701 school children from home to school and return on each day of the school year 1940-47, a t a cost of $1,523,547.-80. Many of the vehicles, according to William M. Greene, Director of
the Highway Safety Commission, should be replaced because of long years of service, some of them dating back to prewar years. Mr. Nolan's report concedes necessity for replacement cf vehicles but stales shortage of school bus bodies delays such purchases.
The Highway Safely Commission is assured in Mr. Nolan's report t ha t minimum standards tor con-struclion and equipment of school buses, as revised from time to time by national conferences, are effcc-tive in Connecticut und, through an agreement between the Department of Education and the Department of Motor Vehicles, are contained in published regulations and enforced

actress extraordinaire, Jessie Uoycc Landls. The ttiajor of the Cimton Playriousc opbris for this Pennsylvania-Dutch comedy by Patterson or'eenc on Mortday night, Auguk 25th. •
This comedy about the man of the house who rules, with a whip madb ' of steel and hot pokers Is the Ideal show case for the talented and lovely Miss Landls. The Theatre Guild originally launched this production In 1D42 and Its Broadway success resulted In Miss Landls decision to use It as summer faro. . Jessie Royce Landls Is one leading
actress-of this limo-or any-other tlme-who can easily slate that .she has not been typed. Under the i healthy and handy auspices of the Theatre dilUd she has appdared .In many diversified roles. First Is Saroyan and his "Love's Old Sweet Song," with Walter Huston; as Mama In "Papa Is All"; Ilermlone In "Tlip Merry Wives of Windsor", In which Charles Coburn was Falstatf, Miss Landls did a Southern widow belle ln"'Solld South," the Dutchess of Towers, In "Peter Ibbetson," and the actress In "Merrily We Roll Along", Another of her most successful roles was In "Love From a, Slirdhgor" ohd finally who can forgot her performance ot the mother In the highly ontci'talning comedy Kiss and Tell". Jessie Boyce
Landls Is no stranger to the Clinton stage for she worked for Samuel Wasserman two years ago In the very same "Kiss and Toll".
This summer she has straw trouped In "Dame Nature," the world premiere of G. B. Shaw's "The Millionaires," and In Ibsen's "Hcdda Qablor". This fall Miss Landls Intends turning producer with Irving Cooper to present Patterson Greene's latest comedy "Music In the Distance". The Clinton Playhouse is Indeed for lunate In having Miss Landls In the role of "Mama" since she starred In It for the Guild both on Broadway and on tour
Appearing with her will be Guy SpauU, Helen • Carovc, Andrce Wallace, Emmott Rogers and Hugh Franklin. Re,servatlons may be made by calling Clinton
day. ' Ot the 80 Corps that attended from both out of 'the St^ite and within the State the only tic tor first place was between the Bradford Manor Corp and the Wtt.shlng-ton Park Corp of Mcrldon, Conn This Is something that very rarely occurrs, particularly with the,scoring broken-down Into one hundredths. The total score for both Corps was 200.07. However duo to a new State ruling established this year. Instead of playing off the lie, the Judges decided the eliminating factor would be ensemble or tone. It so "ha.Dpencd that Washington Park Corp had the advantage of a fraction of a point In this particular catagory, therefore was awarded first place even though Bradford Manor scored higher In other brackets. Bradford Manor was awarded .second place. This all took place ,ln the Junior Combination Class,
Also of Interest to you may be the fact that M1.SS Carolyn Daniels wa^ awarded second place In Individual drumming. Tills covered all female drummers In the entire Junior Class. MIs.s Daniels Is a member of the Bradford Manor Drum Corp.

R.S.VanAtta Gives Lecture
Robert S. 'Van Atta, C, S. of Rochester, New York, a member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church bf Christ, SctenlLst In Boston, MB.-Bachusotts delivered a lecture entitled, "Christian Science: The Science of Life and Healing" Sunday'afternoon, August 17th In Mil-ford Town Hall,.
The lecture was given under the auspices of Flr.st Church of Christ, Scientist, New Haven, In co-operation with Chrl.stlan Science Society, Mil ford.
Mr. Joseph H. Roberts, First Reader of Christian Science Society, Milford Introduced the lecturer who .spoke In part .substantially as follows :
Tho general misunderstanding of the teaching and method of Jesus has been a groat tragedy to manliind. It has. brought untold imlscry and suffering to the race. The man Jesus was a human being. He was born of a virgin mother, was brought up, lived his life, did his work, and finally disappeared from the human scene. How did he differ from other men? In the fact that, although he was human, yet his character was an expression ot the divine—it was as nearly divine as It Is pos-Iblc for any human character to
be. Through the God like character of his human life ho .bridged the gulf between'God and men; he brought heaven down to earth.'Ho demonstrated the coincidence between tho human and the divine,
Tile Bible gives us no descrlp-ion of tho Master's face or form, but It docs give us accurate and beautiful accounts of his spiritual nature and work. Jesus taught morality and spirituality; he taught nothing material. Ho taught men how Id bo good and how to bo free by teaching them how to think cor.reclly. If wo hope to emulate Jesus in living a truly

will condurt Day service to
change our minds. How Is this be done? Many believe they can Is invited. do It them.selvcs. They bejlcvc they have a power within them- j selectman selves which they call power" by which they are to control and regulate their men- I tal processes. It is Ulso believed, that one per.son can Influence an-' other though the medium of the | human will. But will power is not! scientific, because It .Is a belief of' an effect without a cause, an at-'. tempt to scparale the creator; from His creation. '
Human will power is characterized in Science and Health (p. 400) as "an animal propensity, pot a faculty of Soul. Hence," the statement continues, ".It con-not govern man aright. Christian Sllende reveals truth and Love as tho motive-powers of man. Will—blind, stubborn, and headlong—eooperatos with appetilo and passion. From this cooperation arises its evil. From this a'.so conies its powerlcssncss, since all power belongs to God, good,"
It should be clearly undorstbod that Christian Science healing is not brought about by human will power. Truth shows us a more excellent way—the Christian way of meekness, patience, and intelligent faith in God,'

GOLF DRIVING RANGE IS PROVING rorULAR
The Golf Driving Range on Route BO in Toloket is attracting lots of East Haven golf enthusiasts tlicse days, (and nights tool and the proprietor, Al Anastasl.o stales that many golfers are Improvlns' their playing and enjoying a good deal of lieallhy recreation.
ADVERTISING ART Advertising, to pay, must be in
the right medium, in the right manner, and at the right time.
Just because someone .is willing to spend a little m.Dney' with a newspaper does not moan that) he Is an advertiser. It may show that ho is a spendthrift.'
The News believes flrnily in the power ot advertising In .it's columns. We feci certain that It will he!.p the business upon which it is spent. However, no advertiser should got the foolish Idea that all he has'to do is to put any old thing .In a printed appeal, and tho magic of advertising will bring home the bacon.
Successful advertisers are men and women who have studied the art, who understand some ot tho psychology which sways buyers, and know enough about tho things advertised to bo able to buy and soir them correctly.
For East Hampton merchants, advertising .Is not the m'Ost important part of their business. It Is, however, an Important factor In mOrchandislhg, which has demon strated Its power to produce sales results. It should be utilized tor that purpose and ho other.
Wo have no objfectlon to any person's spending money as ho or she feels proper, but .It sometimes gives us a pain in the neck to see what some merchants, buy and charge to "advertising."
The day Is rapidly coming to an end when a morcliant, or business man, can sell just anything. Tlie gradual production ot desired commodities means tiiat the war scarcity is to become a thing of tlie past. Manufacturers and merchants will soon have to go after customers, and this means IntolllEont advertising.

The communication of true thoughts from God to man is duo to the relationship which exists between God and man. Let me read to you a paragraph from Science and Health (p.'330):
"Immortal man was and is God's image or idea, oven the infinite expression ot infinite Mind, and immortal man is coexistent and cooternal with that Mind. Ho has been forever in tho elenial Mind, God; but Infinite Mind can never bo in man, but is reflected by man. The spiritual man's lon-sciousness and individuality are

Mrs. M. D. Stanley, Correspondent
Connecticut has not experienced a schooi-chlld fatality involving school bus transportation since January 1943, according to a report filed with the Highway Safety Commission by the Tlate Department of Education. During the past school year 24 school bus accidents were reported with two personal Injuries hut Connecticut has recorded tour school years In succession without a school bus fatality, according to Daniel T. Nolan, supervisor of school transportation.
One thousand and ivlnelcon vehicles were used In the 169 towns of the state to transport 40,701 sfthool children from home to school and rijturn on each day of the school year 1940-47, at a cost of $1,523,547.-80. Many of the vehicles, aecordlng to William M. Greene, Director of the Highway Safety Commission, should bo replaced because of long years ot service, some ot thom dating back to prewar years. Mr, Nolan's report concedes necessity for replacement cf vehicles but j states .shortage of school bu^ bodies delays such purchases.
Tho Highway Safety Commission is assured in Mr. Nolan's report that minimum standards for construction and equipment of school bii.ies, as revised from time to time by natlcnal conferences, are elTec-tive In Connecticut und, through an agreement between the Department of Education and the Department of Motor Vehicles, are contained In published regulations and enforced by State Police and municipal departments, All community educational boards have been turnlslied copies ot the booklet "School Bus( Standards" for their guidance In planning and operating school transport faolUties, Mr. Nolan concludes his report with assurance that his department is liopetul ot sponsoring a seminar this year to train school bus drivers in the specific responsibilities of their occupation.

Quite a few of the fans have been complaining about gaincH being postponed when the diamond ot Hammer Field looks pretty dry. Thre's nothing more onnoying than to go down to see a game and find it 's been postponed. In vindication of the Branford teams who postpone their gnmcs, it must be said that though the turi; looks dry, it is only the lop half inch which is dry. Down below it 's still pretty wet. This becomes apparent as soon as the players get oii the diamond with their cleats. _ ^ ^
Managers postpone games only as a last resort. If they play on " a diamond which is wet, tearing up the turf ruins the diamond,for
future use, and it increases the liklihood of in,1ury to the players. Dou't blame the boys for trying to keep tlieir limbs whole. •

The increased rates, which will be reflected In September checks Issued on or after • October 1, were voted by the last session of Congress and signed' by the President as Public Law 338.

STRICTLY LOCAL A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND THAT
BY PAUIi H. STEVENS
AN END AND A BEGINNING Next Mondny, Sept. 1, Labor Day, marks the cml of the summer
season. On the following Wctliiesilay morning East Haven youngstci-s will trudge toward school to commence the Fall term.
We have noticed the way the days have begun to shorten. Night comes on much earlier than it did in July, and the cooler evenings are enlivened by the cacophony of the cheerful crickets. The gardens have started to produce a lush harvest ot vegetables, and the fruit trees hang heavy with apples, peaches and pears. Already the toothsome odors of househqld canning rcaehcs the nostrils of passersby.
Labor Day week end is traditionally the close of the vacation season. It is at this time of year that the summer folk wend their way toward home. But Labor Day is also traditionally the beginning of Pall when the community steps into its normal stride once more.
Already our organisations have begun to schedule their meetings, the churches have started to marshal their resources tor the year ahead, and the business people have initiated plans for the busy shopping period leading on toward the Christmas season three months away.
This new season ought to be a busy one in East Haven. The boom which b'egan some time ago, changing Main street into one of the alert suburban shopping centers ot southern Connecticut, goes on with increased momentum. Scores ot new families will be living in Bast Haven before another summer rolls around. How tar this community travels in its march of progress depends upon the ctEorts that each individual puts forward toward buildiug a better community spirit.
ISN'T IT ITIME FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT? A subscriber asked us this week why we didn't keep up the agi
tation begun some time ago for a traffic light at the intersection of Forbes place and the Cut-Olf.
I t is true that we haven't had mneh to say recently about the obvious need for the traffic light at that location, but it was because we had hoped that the Board of Public Safety would by this time have taken some action toward such an installation.
With the growth of trnfilo along the Gut-OIT it has become increasingly difBcult for East Haven motorists to gain access to the through highway at the most used entrance and exit for this community which is at the end of Forbes place. Especially is this true during the ru^h hours of the day, and at night when heavy and speedy trailer trucks roll alojig Avith so little regard to oars coming in from the side streets.
- In our talks with traffic authorities we have been told-that the responsibility for placing traffic lights rests with the towns and municipalities and not with the State Highway Department. In tlie Annex, when the Fairmount Police Department decided that public interest required a light at the intersection of Oakley street and the Cut-OfI they, obtained state consent and theii went ahead with the installation.
Isn't it time now for a traffic light at Forbes place and the Cut-Off? •: .

INDIAN SUMMER DRIVING' Indian Summer, according to Weather Bureau officials, follows
the first cold, wintry weather of the season and may occur from late September to late November but usually during October.
The current issue of the Highway Traveler, published by Greyhound Bus Lines, carries an article, "Make Way For Indian Summer", that previews some of the motoring delights ot the "Month of Flaming Leaves."
"New England's greatest Autumn asset is her weather and her incomparable foliage. Weather records for the past 50 years show that there are more sunny days in New England in iSeptomber and October than at any other time ot year. I t 's warm enough for salt and fresh water swimming, yet ideal for golf, tennis, riding, hunting and mountain climbing. Many hotels and resorts in New England will be open through October. Inns specialize in New England harvest menus—golden corn, pumpkhis, squash, succulent cranberries, tasty apples and tangy eider. Distinctive features of the l 'all are the Fairs, ranging from the great exposition to the little country fairs in some tueked-away hamlet where the chance visitor will find the spirit and .strength of New England. All in all. New Bngljuid is slated for nearly 100 fairs this fall.
"The Autumn foliage is, of course, New England's prime attraction. Sunny days and cool nights bring out the five major colors which make up the New England Autumn palette—red, yellow, yellow-to-red, yellow4o-brown and reddish purple. For the color photographer, there is no better subject than the foliage of New England in u rio-tious display of nature at her brilliant best.
"October, Month ot Flaming Leaves, beckons especially to the visitor to enjoy the beauty of Autumn travel."
