STREET LIGHTS IN CONNECTICUT
Over 5l,O00 Now Used With Waterbury Rated
 With 2,O98
HARTFORD IN LEAD

More than 51,000 electric lights are used to illuminate the streets and highways of Connecticut cities and towns, according to the most recent figures on file with the Con- necticut Public Utilities commis- sion. The statistics likewise indi- cate that Connecticut has pro- gressed rapidly in street and high way illumination, since between 2,000 and 5000 new lights were being added to the existing install lations every year until the past year when some communities as a matter of economy failed to in- crease their lights and in some cases temporarily cut down on illu- imitation.
 Of this large number of street lights, 49,555 are of the incandes- cent type, while only 2,386 of the older are lights remaining in Con- necticut. The arc light has been rapidly passing due to the great improvements in incandeacent lamps which have marked the past dozen years. The incandescent lamps, similar to those used in the house although much larger afford not only better illumination, but are less likely to get out of order.
 Hartford and New Haven, being the largest cities in the state. have the largest numbers of street lamps, the former having 4,515 and the later 3,673. Bridgeport has 1,706 arc lights and 1,211 incandes- cent lamps. Waterbury uses 2,O9S incandescent lights; Stamford, 1927: New Britain, 1872: New London. 1,468: Manchester. 1,40O; Norwich, 1.26s; Greenwich. 1.213; West Hartford, 1,187: Meriden 1,O20; Middletown. 1,005. In pro- portion to its population. Manches- ter is among the leading commun.. ities in the number of miles or streets illuminated, with West Hartford not far behind. Only few of the smaller villages in the state do not have street lights oi one kind or another. In most or them, at least the main thorough fare is illuminated.

UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURC HAS
 NEW PROGRAM
Students Required to Take Pledge as Blow to Radi- calism-SOme of the Students Protest

Pittsburg, Sept 23- CUP)-A new pledge required of all Uni versity of Pittsburg undergradu- ates and admittedly a move against so-called "radicalism' brought protests to-day from some students.
 The students are required to pledge their loyalty to the U. $. constitution, the Pennsylvania con- stitution, and the university regu- lations. :.
 University authorities denied it was a result of the recent decision of County Judge M. A. Musmanno, scoring the university in finding three students who had planned a pacifist demonstration.
 I've want right minded students here" John Weber, business man. ager of the university, said in dis cussing the aim of the pledge. "We think we have as loyal a student body here as anywhere and we want to prove it."
 "A handful of students" have been responsible for the university becoming involved in radical is- sues, according to Weber. "They have been posing as the student body and issuing their opinions as coming from the student body" Weber said.
 One group of students, among the 6,O0O who have signed the pledge, planned to present a peti- tion demanding that the university explain in full It's reasons for re- quiring the pledge, spokesman for the group said.
 Students who refuse to sign the pledge-and so far there has been none, according to Weber--will be asked to give their reasons for not signing.
 Weber said "people got the idea the student body wasn't loyar be- cause of activities of small group of students. The pledge was de- cided upon as means of demon- strating loyalty of the student body.
 The pledge first was interpreted as result of Judge Musmanno's decision which set aside convic- ton of the three students in con- nection with the proposed pacifist demonstration. The students were arrested just before commence ment exercises last June at which General Douglas McArthur, chief of staff of the U. s. army, spoke. His selection as speaker had been protested because of his alleged militaristic utterances.
 | University officials said the pledge was prepared two months before Musmonna's decision was given.

Town Committee Chairman Backed
 For Representative
New Club at Monday Nights Meeting Plans to Further Campaign Strong Democratic Sentiment Evl- dent Among Voters

that position now, but it is said that there is four-cornered fight
 on for the position among republi-
 cans, and the depocrats believe
 that with a candidate such as they
 have in mind, they can win tho
 election. The democrats plan to
 nominate Russell Haywood, chair
 man of the democratic town conn
 mittee, an active party worker for
 many years. Personally, so the club members say, MT Wakelee Is
 not on trial, but his party is, and
 he will have to take what comes from the ruinous policy of repub.
 l.can rule in the state and mason. From this it would appear that democrats and republicans are
 good neighbors in Wolcott, and the difference of opinion over politics is a matter of self preservation.
 Many of the old residents are said to favor a change, but they nave stuck to the old party so long they hesitate about turning. their backs on it, but they see no other way out of the condition that exists all ] over the country to-day.
