which it is agreed must be faced before long.
 A bill sponsored by the com mission on child welfare, which has recently studied the problem, provides for the starting of new institution and carries an initial appropriation of $200,000. It has met with considerable response throughout the state from town of- ficials and agencies that hope to get long-sought relief from the burden and expense of caring for feeble-minded dependents.
 New Haven county has nearly 200 residents on the waiting list for admission to Mansfield. New Haven itself has about 100 cases, Meriden has 15, Waterbury 30. Of the 27 towns in the county, 19 have at least one resident entered on the list, many of whom are being car ried, meanwhile, at public expense.
 There is for instance, the case of two brothers, living in New Haven. IT and 19 years old, with mentality that measures little more than half the normal intelligence. The mother is of low grade men, tally, the father is unemployed. OlC OL lllC pOyS Wdo run ONCI Oy a truck when he was four years old and has needed constant care ever since. Both are disobedient, lazy and destructive. They are a danger to others in the Aneighbor- 1 hood.
 Another boy, supported at pub | lie expense, is II years old and of even lower intelligence. He has been excluded from school his mother is dead, his father i'll, one brother is at Mansfield, and he him. self is boarded out by the city. Another typical case is that of a girl of 22, who has long record of delinquency. She has had two children, has spent some time at St Agnes home and is now at the state farm for women. Her child ren are likely in turn to become candidates for an institution for the feeble minded.
 These stories help to explain the popular response in support of the bill now pending before the appro- priations committee of the legisla- ture. Mansfield is said to have reached the limit of possible ex- pansion, relative to the power plant and other basic services. Propon- ents of the bill point not only to the pressing need for more facili- ties. but to the fact that the state and the towns are now paying for these people in one way or another. They argue that since the taxpay- CTS are already saddled with this responsibility, it would be in the interest of efficiency to segregate the feeble-minded so that they will not continue to produce more children, and to give them the early training that would fit some of them to become economically useful citizens. The bill, introduced by Mrs Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington, is house bill 499. It has received support from the Connecticut Child Welfare asso- ciation, the Connecticut League of Women Voters, the Connecticut Federation of Women's clubs, the Connecticut Congress of Parents and Teachers. as we'll as judges of town and city courts and others familiar with the problem.

Motor Vehicle Dept. . Make Safety Record
Sixty-six Employees Operated Cars 935,644 Miles in
 1932 With Only Seven Accidents

133,663 miles travelled. In 1881 tho drivers averaged 1z,899.4S miles and there was one accident for every 148.344 miles travelled.
 There are several factors which contribute to the record that has been made by this group of men- Their cars are maintained at safety standards of mechanical efficiency at all times. The operators are for the most part young men trained to skilfull performance with mo- tor vehicles, to a thorough ob-l servance of laws and regulations for guidance of traffic participants and to meticulous observation of the principle of the golden rule in all phases of driving.
 Unlike so many of the ordin- ary operators of passenger cars, however, these men are bbroad at all times of day and night in at tendance to their enforcement and safety duties. They drive in all kinds of weather, in rain, fog, snow, when streets are icy or wet; fn all kinds of traffic, including that on days and during the events when there are large congregations of motor vehicles for particular occa- sions
 A few of the inspectors, thosB whose work in the supervision of certain types of enforcement ac- tivity takes them far and wide through the state week in and week out, operate a total of from 1000 to 10000 miles a year each Only one of this group was i'm volved in an accident during 193s, that a collision in which the state car was struck in the rear at an intersection.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-04

Hartford, May 4-That it is pos sible for motor vehicle operators to register a high degree of safe performance despite a maximum of travel is emphasized by the ex- perience of the department of mo- tor vehicles with it's employees and their operation over Connecticut highways in the past two years, says a department bulletin today.
 A total of 66 department men operated cars total of 935,64 miles during the past year with total of only seven accidents. In 1881, 46 men operated cars and in a total mileage of 593,376 miles there were but four accidents.
 In 1881 the property damage from four accidents aggregated s5S; in 19s2 the seven accidents resulted in total property damage of S708.55, but one single accident accounted for $500 of this. The damage is roughly about 50 cents per 1000 miles of operation for the two years.
 There was but one case of per- sonal injury each of these years. both of slight degree. Analysis of the 1882 figures shows that the department operators averaged a total of 14,176.42 miles and that there was one accident for every
