The Connecticut Consumers In- formation service with ofaces in the state once building, Department of Agriculture, Hartford, Connecticut now has Q staff of { people who are qualified through past experience to operate, collect and disseminate facts Of value to consumers through. out the state of Connecticut; such information to be supplied through the Consumers Council and through state and federal sources. Twice monthly a bulletin dealing with timely existing vital information will be reed at approximately 75O club; meetings throughout the state. Various clubs have started study groups to further this cause, and will supply their findings to the Connecticut Consumers InforIna- ton service, who in turn will ad- wise the Connecticut Consumers council club members of their fiad- ingS.
 This is the nrst time in the history of Connecticut that such a broad program 0f consumer education has been planned. All established means of publicity will be used. The news- pepers in the state have shown keen interest in this project. Radio bFoadcasting time has been offered by WDRC, Hartford, WHIT, Hart, ford. W1CC. Bridgeport, WELL, New Haven, and WNBC, New Britain. These radio broadcasts as well as the newspaper articles will, 1t is hoped, create consumer interest suf- f1cient to educate the consumers to be more alert in their buying of foods; to know how to recognize the uf1appfoved practices and how to deal with them.

The PITY of 1t,

The National Safety Council is well
advised to stress the personal grief and
sorrow involved in the price which Amer
lea pays for carelessness. Recently it
has brought out poster to dramatize
the whole problem-a picture of a little
Child asking q weeping mother, "Was
daddy hurt much?" The most casual
glance at the drawing suggests the OBJ
vious answer that daddy probably need
not have been hurt at all.
Let there be no sophistry about 1t:
The average citizen knows that some-
thing can be done to halt the march Of
death over the highways of the Nation
Also he understands that something can
b done to cut the accident toll in the
factories, mills, shops, stores and homes
Of the United States. Fatalistic consent
to the destruction or painful injury OF
millions Of people cannot be tolerated
in a civilization worthy of the name.
The basic issue, Of course. is that Of a
lack Of rational caution. Ninety mine
out OF . hundred mishaps can be traced
back to the habit Of taking chances
II appears to be innate in the American
mind to gamble with lie and limb. But
n need not be: 1t should not be. A
society which is pledged to the PROPOSE
t1on that "all men are created equal"
logically commits itself to the doctrine
that the existence OF every individual
y precious to his fellows Is well as to
