ROACH PRAISES
 ALERT DRIVERS
Intelligent Use of Autos Minimize Accidents Says
 Police Superintendent

If a driver is sufficiently alert he won't let the other fellows mistake get him in trouble" said Supt. or Police William J. Roach today.
 The complete statement of Supt, Roach follows;
 Nobody knows as well as the drivers, themselves, how dependent 0 machine can be upon the man who runs 1t. Everything has been done that could be done to make motor cars operate as they should regard- less of the drivers skill. Still, cars can't do Q thing except under hu- man direction. Manufacturers may build their cars with provisions for economical operation, comfort, fine performance, safety and long life, but all of those subjects are depend- able on the intelligent use Of the car by the drivers.
 "The service the owner of @ car gets out of 1t depends on his ability as @ driver and more important, the safety of our streets and highways Is dependent upon the skill ana expertnesS exercised by the person behind the wheel,
 If the drivers of cars will remem- Der such signal things as: Using caution when passing cars, especial ly when another car Is approaching from the opposite direction; always be 0 little more alert, 0 little more careful, and @ little more consider ate of other drivers when driving at night; make sure your brakes are safe and sound, good brakes are im- perative for safe driving; when driving in city trafIlo always be alert for a pedestrian may dart out in front of your car and you have to make Q sudden stop, things can happen all of 0 sudden in city trat- iic and you, the driver, must be ready for them. So as It has been said, the driver must drive along with every intersection, every alley, every car-under suspicion. So fl we are sufficiently alert you don't have to let the other fellows mis- take get you into trouble.
 Tt Is my hope that If drivers of Waterbury follow these simple sug- gestions 1t will contribute to them SO they will get greater satisfaction out of their car and will also aid our work in making our streets ana highways safer"

Only lS,OOO Cars Are In. spected at Testing Lane;
 Snow May Be Obstacle

Strength of the warnings issued during the past month by officials of the state motor vehicle testing station on Thomaston avenue was realized today by local motorists who had experienced their first snow furry of the season.
 At the present time slightly more than half the motorists allotted to this district have appeared at the Thomaston avenue station and pre- sented their cars for inspection. The figure of inspected cars is about 18,O00.
 During the past few weeks, Chief Inspector Thomas R. Lumpkin has issued warning after warning that the inspections of automobiles would be greatly affected by the oncoming winter weather. He said that cold weather would hamper both motor- ist and inspector, and make the long lines of waiting motorists more dif- flcult to endure.
 Although the snow storm failed to reach any great heights, 1t impress ed motorists with the realization that winter is on the way-practi- cally here. The local inspection lane will operate until December Sl, be- ing open each week day from 8 a.. m. to 5 p. rrl., depending on weather conditions. It is because of the weather conditions clause tt'"' T-- spector Lumpkin has urged early inspection for motorls.s W-.o G, hU. wish to suffer inconveniences.
 Waterbury's response to the h- spection demand has been satisfac- tory, even commendable to date, just as 1t was during past inspection periods.

George took leave of her as though
he was going to be away from her

She got her wish. They looked
