Reception was better later than f. was earlier. Earlier it wasn't as good as it was later. for some reason. Early in the evening the air Was punctuated with various and suudry snaps, crackles and creaks which began Identification.

This noise consisted Of Il sharp bang about every 10 or 15 seconds Not at all ruinous 10 rrccp- ton. but rather monotonous.

 It was New London Nigh, a WTIC, and that town proved that it contains q great variety of talent. We didn't hear so very many Of inc numbers, but those we heard were super excellent. Mrs. Fred j. Bacon presented the best example of ul<n- lele playing that we have heard over the radio to date. Original chords and professional style helped a lot. The Coast Guard band was up to snuff and Lieut.. Whitak- CTS part of the program was also worthy of Commendation. He did q Yankee monologuo and then render ed a few selections OH what he called a Pategonian Plmkcdoria, otherwise, a good old guitar. One Of his numbers was The Wind Blew Through His Whiskers." The pre- sentation Of the program was good and New London took cOgnizancc o. what other towns have done and tried successfully 10 cut out moEot- ony. One was left with the desire to hear more Of each feature pre- sented, and that's as it should be.
 The Bonnie Laddies at WIZ ap- pareutly felt reminiscent last eve ming, since they presented a group of old time numbers. among them Wait Till the Sun Shines. Nellie" Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet and others. The songs were treated with a certain vencrauon, out Of re- spect to their age, no doubt.

missioner of the department OF mo-

his safety campaign has Just issued
q bulletin dealing with accidents to
children and containing inforrna tion
which should be brought to the at

Many drivers make the mistake Of

By experience to take when cross

child Psychology as related to street
tramc, Mr.. Stocked says:
When he (the child) first begins
70 move about he knows little or
nothing about those RELATIONSHIPS
which bis movements have to the
movements OF other persons and of
vehicles. He has no inherent men
fal qualifications which enable him
20 estimate speeds and distances or
20 judge the probable action of
another. so he enters upon traffic
participation as learner dependent
alone upon his senses and innate
common sense. The other factors
which he needs for his present and
