 Returning to NOrmalcy.
 The borough is beginning to re- turn to normalcy as far as the snowstorm is concerned. There are still many streets which have not been cleared, but many more streets were made passable for autos yesterday by street workers. Schools were again open today, factories were open again and al- though some were still unable to come to work there were more on hand in the factories today than there were yesterday.
 Early this morning trolleys and busses. were still among the forgot ten. except for an occasional epithet for despite the fact that men were working on the tracks from Nau- gatuck to Waterbury all day yes terday they still were not clear. It was not known for sure this morn- ing whether busses would be able to eet through from New Haven or to Bridgeport. State highway workers have been busy since the night of the storm.
 Just what they are up against may well be seen by the fact that at the Bethany airport there are drifts of snow 30 feet in height, higher than the hangar there. Of course this is the exception, but 1t can be seen that blows are futile against drifts from 15 to 20 feet which may be found on the roads in this section. Although some of the residents of various streets are complaining because the roads have not yet been cleared for auto travel, the borough is much better off than x some neighboring cities, where even Y inc main streets are not in such good condition as are many streets in Naugatuck. There were over 200 men work ing today Men were working on High street, Lewis street, Andrew avenue, Hoadley street, George and Frederick streets, May street ana I other sections where trucks were unable to go. There were only three snow blows in action today, one having broken down.
 No Hunger Net.
 
 today stated the men were work ing day and night trying to make the streets passable. He pointed out that because of the size of the storm the labor was necessarily and comparatively slow progress was necessary. However he said the work is being done just as quickly as possible and asked resi- dents whose streets have not been yet made passable to be patient az the street department are doing all they can just now.
 He said he had as yet received no reports of residents either stra- ving or being hampered by food siInnly shortness. Men worked last night and will probably work to- night also.
 Trains were going through today closer to the schedule than pre- yiously. The postoffice was closed today because of the holiday so the mailmen had another day orr
 Early today there had been no more snow, but indictions were It might start soon.

 Lent was made for man and not man for Lent, said Rev Arthur F. Lewis. rector of St Michaefs Epis- Ncopal church last night, in a talk to parishioners in his church. Rev Henry $. Dougles of Oxford was scheduled to preach, but the bliz- gard prevented him from doing so.
 Rev Lewis in his talk scored the modern courts which let crim- inaIs go free because the letter of the law was not broken although the spirit of the law was. Rev EdWafd R. hance ol lhe Sonei s. rational church will talk at St MichaeIs next Wednesday night.
