Sergeant Brickel Is
Congratulated Today
Begins 44t Year as Policeman Court Officials and
Lawyers PrOfuse in Fluctuations to Veteran Officer

Sergeant John Brickel, officer in
charge of the city court, was the
recipient OF many expressions of
fluctuations from lawyers, brother
policemen, court officials and news
papermen today, as he began his
44th year as a member Of the Wa
terbury ploice department. He has
served for more than 20 years in
his present position.
His court-opening prayer was no
different today from the many
other days he has offieially opened
the court with "Oyez, Oyez, this
Honorable City Court of Waterbury
is now open and in session in this
place"
He said he is in good health and
is pointing to his golden anniver-
sary in 1941. Sergeant Brickel
was appointed to a sergeancy in
the department December /, 1921.
He has come up from the ranks
since the day a. years ago when
he first began duty as an officer
Of the law. He has many interest
ing stories to tell Of the days when
there was no patrol wagon and
the arresting policeman had TO
walk their prisoners to headquar-
ters.
Sergeant Brickel was appointed
court officer when the new city
hall was erected in 1915, being the
first officer to hold the position.

Traffic Commission
Preparing Program
State Problems to Be Considered at Meeting in HART
ford Tomorrow Macdonald to Preside as Chairman

ing problems in towns on main
highways perplex local authorities
and the traffic commission will
endeavor to assist in ironing out
these matters where they occur on
trunk line highways. Action by
the commission in these affairs is
enabled through the authority
vested in them in the revised
Uniform Traffic Control Act.
Progress Reported
While the traffic commission
only became effective as of July
LIST, considerable ground has been
covered by engineers of the COM
mission up to the present date. The
Boston Post road has been sur
veyed from East Haven to the
Rhode Island line for the placing
of additional white center lines and
stop signs. In addition to this
route the following routes have
also been covered: Routes IS, 81,
8, 81, 70, II. Is and so. This ter
ritory was purposely taken first
by reason of the heavy volume of
summer traffic using these high
ways. At a recent meeting Of
the commission the aforesaid
routes were designated as through
ways. Very shortly, stop signs
will be crested on all roads in
tersecting these routes.
Surveys Made
The surveys made thus far were
done by an engineer from. the
highway department, an engineer
from the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment and the State Police lieuten-
ant of the barracks through which
territory these routes covered. 1t
is the intent of the commission,
at later dates, OF make surveys
at specific locations on all high
ways wherein there appears to be
a severe accident hazard, in order
that specific remedial action may
be taken to insure safety on the
highways. Certain stretches of
highway will likewise be zoned for
spede limits and upon the erection
of such speed limit signs. 1t Will
then be prima facie evidence of
speeding should motorists travel
at higher rates of speed than those
definitely stated.

SCHOOL CHILDREN LIKE
HONEY IN SANDWICHES

Children who like sweets, and
that means practically all children,
will appreciate having the school
lunch box filled with honey sand
witches with honey filings. This
suggestion, which is especially ap-
propriate for Honey Week ending
November 16, comes from a Uni
versity Farm bulletin, Honey
How to use it." written by Miss
Alice M. Child and Miss Agnes
Kolshorn, of the division of home
economics.
One filling suggested is made
from cheese and honey. Just
enoungh honey should be added to
either cottage cheese or cream
cheese to spread easily. A honey
nut sandwich filling should be
made by adding one-fourth cup
of finely chopped or ground nut
meats to one cup of crystallized
honey. This should be used on rye
or graham bread Half and half
peanut butter and crystallized hon.
ey makes another delicious nour-
ishing filling.
AS food, says the bulletin, honey
is important mainly for it's readily
digested sugars. It also contains
valuable minerals. 1t may be used
in many ways other than as
spread for breads. 1t may be used
as substitute for sugar or molas-
ses in baking, and for part of the
sugar in candies, popcorn balls,
preserves, iellies and fruit sauces.
Honey makes a delicious sweeten-
ing for breakfast cereals, for fruits
such as grapefruit, and for drinks
such as lemonade.
Other suggestion for using honey,
including a large number of inter
esting recipes, are given in the bull
letin which may be had by writing
the Bulletin Office, University
Farm, st. Paul, mentioning Special
Bulletin 122.
