Connecticut Leading
 In Traffic Safety
Waterbury's Record Plays Important Part in New State HonOrs -49 Fewer Auto Deaths Here in '36

Announcement last week that Wa terbury had the best accident-re- duction record of any city or town in the state in. 1896 was followed today by disclosure that Connec- ticut had the best comparative traf- fic record in the nation for last year.
 Last year the state had 436 auto deaths, a total 49 less than the 485 fatalities of the previous year. Much of the credit for the accident de- cline in the state is given to the statewide educational campaign that has been carried on here for more than year.
 Local Record
 Waterbury's fine accident record for 1896 has won considerable edi- torial comment about the state. In 1936, Waterbury had several less fatal accidents, any less injuries and many less accidents in which only property damage was involved.
 The Waterbury Citizens Traffic Safety committee has been func- tioning steadily here, and has car- ried on a consistent campaign of safety education. The safety cam- paign has been aided by the police accident prevention squad, formed last year, and which done excellent work since being organized.
 Aetna Survey
 According to data accumulated by the Aetna Casualty and Surety Co.,, Connecticut achieved the best com- parative traffic record, in reduction of traffic fatalities, of any state in the union. The percentage decrease was not so great as the District of Columbia or New Hampshire but, neither of those places have com- parable mootr vehicle registration with Connecticut peak total of 416,- 900 motor vehicles in 1897, nor do their comparatively smaller high way systems begin to handle the traffic flow which packs Connecti- cuts streets and highways the year round.
 Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the State Department of Motor Vehicles is much pleased with the standing of Connecticut in the list of nine states and the District of Columbia, comprising the group re- porting decreases in traffic fatalities for 1887. The tabulatoin made by the Aetna company as follows: StatisticS:-

of loyalty upon teachers. Monsignor Ryan in an address before the Dis trict Women Voters of the Wash ington branch, American Associa- tion of University Women, declared There is no rational ground for imposing futile and irritating tests upon the teachers"
 Monsignor Ryan, who has many personal friends in Waterbury and who has visited as well as spoken here on several occasions, was one of several nationally known speak CTS. The meeting was held for the purpose agitating for the appeal of an amendment to legislation for the District of Columbia, which pro- hibits the teaching of Communism in public schools.
 Monsignor Ryan spoke on "Aca- demic Freedom" saying in part:
 '"The area of rational economic freedom is much more restricted than most persons who are in- terested in the subject assume. In the first place, there is no solid ground for academic free- dom in tte ordinary sense of the term in any private educational institution, whether 1t is managed by a church, or corporation, or an individual. The teachers in such freedom of expression in the class rooms as is permitted by the governing bodies of these institu- tians. Hence the excitement and agitation aroused by the dismiss sal of Jerome Davis from his teaching position in Yale Univer- sity are irrelevant and imperti- nent. It is no problem of the gen. eral public or of any group of the general public whether the au- thorities of Yale had or had not good grounds for dismissing Pro- lessor Davis. Undoubtedly the alumni and supporters of Yale University have peculiar interest in the matter, but no one

else can claim the right to find fault with the dismissal.
 ''In public educational inStitu- tions, reasonable academic free- dom is also very narrowly circun- scribed. Institutions which are maintained at public expense and which profess to satisfy all ele- ments of the population have no right to teach any particular re- ligious, political or economic doc- Urine. The facts about the various doctrines and opinions in these and other fields should, of course, be presented to the students as matters of information, but the teacher has no moral or legal right to support any particular doctrine, whether it be Catholic ism, Methodism, Communism, Capitalism, the Single Tax, the Democratic Platform, Republican Platform on the Progressive Plat form. On the other hand there is no rational ground for imposing futile and irritating tests upon the teachers, such as oaths of loyalty"

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
 BAD FOR WORKERS
Efficiency Impaired By Confused Messages
 Sent to Brain

Carefully controlled studies of proper lighting in industry have definitely shown its effect upon the efficiency and well-being of the worker, increased production and decreased spoilage, and the point has been reached wheer all factors of industrial illumination must be studied by the industrial hygienist and the illumination engineer, ac- cording to Dr. Albert s. Gray, ditec- tor of the bureau of occupational diseases of the state department Of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 Sever Tasks
 In the modern industrial age, Dr. Gray said, visual tasks are un- naturally severe, prolonged and crlt- ical. and artificial illumination must often be depended upon entirely. "The light looks good enough" and it may be sufficient for tightening a large blot, but when critical exam ination of small objects is necessary, neither the employer nor the work CT may realize that the latter IS more tired at the end of the shl1t than he should be, th@t his en- thusiasm has lapsed, and that ms efficiency and output have been impaired because of the confused messages his seeing machine IS sending to his brain.
 Factors entering into the artl- fical working environment inciuoe quality and quantity of light;qual- ity of lighting involving direction, distribution and diffusion or lgnt' size of objects observed ana ois- tribution and illusion of light; size of the object observed and the de- tails to be noted; contrast with background; brightness of object available for seeing; and glare. observed and its background; time Glare and quantity of light are the most important, Dr. Gray declared. Science has provided instruments and standards with which to meas ure quantity or intensity of hgnt. The stndard is the foot candle, the intensity of illumination one foot from a candle made in a standard manner. Science has also provided an instrument which, when placed in any source of light, indicates on ia dial the intensity of that light in foot candles. Experience and re- search in practical industry have furnished information about the number of foot candles required for various types of work, so that see- ing machines may operate at max mum efficiency.
 Efficiency
 Therefore, Dr. Gray stated, 1t is ia simple matter of good business 10 provide sufficient, well-distributed illumination to insure that tasks will be completed with maximum efficiency and without eyestrain, and it is just common sense and of ones own health in- terest to see to it that visual de- tects are corrected. If anyone has reason to suspect that his eyes are mo normal, the director urged, he should consult his doctor and have 2 check-up. !
