ANSONIA PROTESTS
 REMOVAL OF TRAIN
Elimination InCOnv e n= fences Residents WOrk=
 ing in Waterbury

Elimination of several trains be- tween Ansonia and Waterbury and Ansonia and Bridgeport has caused protests from officials and residents of Ansonia. There is possibility one or more of the trains taken of or placed on a new schedule may be returned to the old time.
 Commuters in particular criticized the new arrangement of trains which was announced about a week ago. Most of their criticism was di- rected against removal of the train which left Ansonia at 7:33 a. m, bound for Waterbury. This now leaves at 8:59 a. m., which Anson- iarls, who work in Waterbury, claim is too late to allow them to get there in time.
 Similarly they pointed out that the $40 train for Waterbury has been entirely removed. Now, they claim, there is no train for Water bury from the time the newspaper train" leaves at 4:3l until the S:S9 one.
 Railroad, Chamber of Commerce, and city officials sat in on a con- ference this week at Ansonia, but no official decision was given other than assurance from the railroad that consideration would be given the voiced complaints.
 The new schedule of trains went into effect on Monday with the re- of standard time.

life have been brought within the reach of the average wage earner.
 Faith, Confidence
 This has been the story of the Grant Company. It has been made possible only because the consumer has had faith and confidence in the Grant Company and its ways of do- ing business.
 The first store was opened in Lynn, Mass. by William T. Grant, the founder of the Grant Company.
 Ideas and theories which he had developed while working for others enabled him to make his first store success that his friend urged him to open 8 second store. This was opened in Waterbury, Conn. The second store also proved the sound- ness of MT. Grants principles and 1t was decided to expand still fur ther.
 17,OOO Employees
 W. T. Grant is now chairman of the board. His policy of training HIS OWL eAeCuIlVeS ana promoting from within the ranks has opened the way for over 700 young men and women to grow to positions of trust and responsibility. Including sales women, over 17,000 regular employees are on the w. T. Grant Company weekly payroll.
 In celebration of its 31 years in business, the Grant Company will offer many of it's regular values at greatly reduced prices every Satur- day throughout the month.
 Dennis J. Scannell, veteran mem- Der of the organization, and one of the best known figures in local mer- cantile circles, is manager of the local w. T. Grant store.

FIGURES SHOW
 LIGHT NEEDS
Trend of Darkness ACci- dents Upward in
 This State

Need for the general illumination of those sections of highway which have proved to be most dangerous for nighttime driving is being dem- onStrated by statistical data on acci- dents, accumulated from several sources including those which show the upward trend of auto fatalities on illuminated highways. That the lighting of all highways would tn- volve excessive. costs at the present time is admitted by highway, motor vehicle and Illuminating engineers, but it is claimed that by the light ing of selected, dangerous stretches thousands of lives could be saved each year.
 Connecticut studies have shown that the trend of night fatalities has been upward since 1926, while day auto deaths show the opposite trend, and that 60 per cent of the fatalities and nearly 50 per cent ot the accidents take place at night despite less heavy traf1c. National Safety Council statistics reveal ex- actly the same thing, namely, that six out of every ten persons killed last year on the highways met death after dark. Night fatalities, however, will not stay in that ratio. They have been increasing and If the present rate of increase contin- ues night auto deaths, experts say, will grow to 26,0O0 in 1940 as com pared with 22,000 last year and that by 1940, 70 per cent of all accidents will occur at night unless preven- tive steps are taken in the mean time.
 Other statistics show that anyone
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-30

involved in an automobile wreck at night is 92 per cent more likely to be killed than in the daylight, and this is because of the lack of visibil- ity at night, despite the fact that headlights for automobiles have reached about their highest state of practical efficiency. To make them any brighter would augment one of the basic causes of night accidents, binding glare. The present head light enables the driver to see an object about 150 feet ahead. A car going 50 miles per hour moves 7S feet each second. When dark oh- ject looms up 150 feet ahead, the driver therefore has just two sec onds to see it, to comprehend the danger, judge the size and direction of the object and to bring the car to a halt. Full lighting from over head would reveal the object much earlier and permit time for stopping.
 Effectiveness of highway lighting is shown in a report on the installa- ton of improved illumination on S1 miles of street in Detroit. Before the lighting went into service 1n 1884 and 1885 there were 146 night and 21 day fatalities on these

 Epic In Business
 The growth of the w. T. Grant Company is one of the epics of American business life. It is ctory of normal, consistent expansion, based upon the practice of giving the public guaranteed quality mer- chandise at the lowest possible pric- es. Lower prices have been made possible by the ever increasing 1ol- ume of business done by the w. T. Grant Company.
 We are all familiar with the his tory of the automobile. Twenty-Five years ago the very poorest sort of car cost $1,500 to $2,000 Today, a vastly superior car in every respect can be purchased for $500 or $700. Radios when they first appeared coSt $20O to $500. Today radio that brings the world to your fin gertips costs but mere fraction as much.
 These great reductions in cost were made possible by tremendous increase in the productions of these ono time luxurieS. So it has been wish the merchandise sold by the Grant organization.
