FOREIGN TRADE
 RECORDS BROKEN 1929 Surpassed War Boom,
 Government Reports

Washington, Dec. Sl. - The year 1929 was a record breaker in our foreign trade, both exports and inn ports showing an increase over the preceding year. and reaching totals which, when adjustment is made for changes in the buying power of money, decidedly surpass any attain ed even during the war and the i'm mediate postwar boom. according to a statement by William l.. Cooper. director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, issued today.
 This gratifying result was not brought about by any temporary cases. It marks the continuance of a movement practically unbroken since 1921 and 1922.
 If December shows the same fig ures as that month did in 1928, our total exports will amount to about $500 100000. or between and 4 per cent more than during the pre- cedng year. and our imports to about $4,450, 000,0 900, an increase of 8 per cent.
 Balance of Trade
 Imports have increased more than exports, therefore, the balance of commodity trade in favor of the United States was somewhat less than in 1928. It was still very large, however somewhere between S800,- 000000 and $9O0,OOO,0O0 in value.
 The gain ill export trade for 1929 was confined, in the main, 10 the first four months of the year. during which our foreign sales were nearly $500, 100000 greater than in the cor responding months of 1928. The re- maining eight months showed either less increase of an actual decrease as compared with 1928.
 As in most recent years the most conspicuous feature of the trade of 1929 was the expansion in the eX- ports of the products of our factor les. For the year as a whole, the foreign sales of semi manufactured and finished manufactures, (the lat ter by far the larger group) were in the nelghborhood of $3,250. 100000. This means a gain of approximately $500, O,OO0,000 or 10 per cent over 1928. The total for 1929 was 80 or 90 per cent greater than that for ] 922. only seven years ago, and near ly 200 per cent greater than in the average year of the immediate pre- war period, after allowing for the higher level of prices.
 We Lead the World
 The United States now leads the world as an exporter of factory products. Finished manufactures, which before the war represented only about three-tenths of our ey- ports, are now half of the much larger total.
 Nearly every important class of manufactured goods was exported to greater value in 1929 than in 1928, and for most Of them the 1929 fig ures, when adjustment Is made for the fact that prices are lower than during the war period, were the highest ever reported

 NoWington, Dec, 3l-Henry C.. Nelson of Bcnham street, Forest vile, formerly of 14G Sixth street, East Bristol, was arraigned in town court last night before Judge r.. Stanley Wclles on the charges of reckless driving and failure to give notice to the motor vehicle commis- sioncr of change of address.
 Nelson pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless driving but guilty to the latter charge.
 Miss Helen Long of 344 Elm street, New Britain, testified that on December 21. she was driving on the Hartford Now Britain road, go- ing north just behind Nelson, when she observed him drive his car from the right side of the road to the left side and strike Il car driven by Joseph IiZzitola of - Levc&Que avenue, West Hartford. She claimed Nelson was travelling at q speed of about 25 miles per hour. Tn" time was about 5:05 D. m. Questioned by Grand Juror Harold Lucas, who prosecuted the case, Miss Long said she saw no reason why Nelson should drive in the manner he did.
 Rose pizzitola testified she was with hoy brother in th ecar that was struck by Nelson and was thrown out and injured about the face.
 Joseph pizzitola stated he was driving his car 10 New Britain and when near the Paragon dance hal saw Nelson approaching, He saw Nelson drive from the right side of the road to the left, and in order to prevent a head-on collision h" swerved to the left slightly with the result that Nclson'S car struck his right front fender. swervcd, and damaged the whole side. He talked with Nelson after the accident and he appeared 10 be in full possession of his faculties.
 Two Officers Testify
 Officer M. J. Eonnclly of the West Hartford police stated he was called to tn" scene of the accident and Rtll IllN bl''''i at IOI NOilNI Ihf''4 'ilt' Nelson was in the wrong. He stated that Nelson insisted he was on his right side of the road and denied drinking any liquor, Officer Donnel- ly Smelicd alcohol but said it might have been radiator alcohol.
 Officer Xckas of the state police was called in on the case and he thought that Nelson fell asleep at the wheel just as his car went from the right to Jeff side of the road. In bunting up Nelson later he found that he had changed his address three months previously and | failed to notify the motor vehicle commissioners Office within As hours as required by law.
 Nelson, in his testimony claimed he was on inc right side of the road and that Pizzitola drove on the wrong side. He could not explain how the right side of both cars came to be damaged.
 Judge Wcllos found Nelson guilty Of reckless driving and fined him $25 and costs, remitting $1O Of the fine, and fined him $5 and costs on the charge Of failure 10 properly register his address, making total of $3J.9i.

CLUB IS FORMED SEWARD HIGH
 AIM IS TW0F0LD

The Seward high school has orr ganized a Booster Club" and yes Iterday two representatives, a boy and a girl, were elected from each 'Of the various classes.
 The aim of the club is two-fold, it is reported. The first purpose is to enable the students of the Sew ard high to take a part in the gov- ernment of the school; really form of student government. The second is to boost the various acti- vities that the school takes part in.
 It was outlined that declamatory and oratorical contests would pro- bably be held this term and that the club would strive to arouse the enthusiasm of the towns people to attend these exercises.
 Physical culture will also be boosted but. as it was pointed out, does not need very much impetus to make the people turn out for a basketball game, whereas for debate the turnout would pro- bably number less than 10 people.
 The following are the official of the Seward High school classes: Freshmen June Geyer and Edwin Sandbeck; So- Clarence Hahle and Ly- dia Fessoff; Juniors Reginald Beaudreau and Katherine Horton; Geraldine Laughlin and Otto Sandbeck.
