JUNIOR COLLEGE
 GIVEN DONATION
Connecticut Council to Convene for Meeting FOl-
 lowing Coming Holidays

Bridgeport, Dec. 19- Johannes Schiott, chairman of the board of trustees of the Junior College of Connecticut, announced today that Dr. and Mrs. Alden G. Newman had generously donated $15,800 to the college in the name of Dr. Alfred c. Zones who served as chairman of the board from the organization of the college in 1927 to his death last March. The donation comes in con- nection with the settlement of the estate of Dr. Zones and represents 8 substantial part of the mortgage on the college property held by him.
 Dr. Zones was very actively en- gagged in the affairs of the Junior College of Connecticut for eleven years, and it was his goal to see the local institution complete its program of building expansion in order that the college could better serve the higher educational needs of the youth of Bridgeport and sur rounding community.
 Not being able to witness the complete development of this ideal during his lifetime, the board of trustees of the Junior College of Connecticut is hoping that some of the proposals for memorial to Dr. Fones may take the form of suit able building at the college which would carry out his most cherished plans and perpetuate his memory. The board of trustees further hopes that this donation on the part of Dr. and Mrs. Newman will serve to further any plans looking toward a Spitable memorial.

183,O54 Drivers In
 State Sharing Awards
Commissioner Connor Comments on Good Standing oi
 Operators Registered With State M. V. Dept.

Commissioner Michael A. Conncr of the State Department of Motor Vehicles estimates that, under the provisions of the "Safe Driver Re- ward Plan," sponsored by the Ma tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, approximately 183, ,054 motor vehicle owners of Connecticut could be receiving the substantial sum of $1,372,905 as an aid to meeting the unusual expenses of the Christmas season.
 "Of course, no such sum as that will be distributed in the state, ? said the commissioner, "as I note that the entire amount to be paid out will be about $6.000, 900 and that approximately only million motorists throughout the country will be the recipients of safe driv- ing dividends. There are about 2S,- 0OO,O 900 vehicles in the country, not all eligible, of course, to be consid- cred.
 However, we believe that about fifty-three per cent of the motor vehicles registered in Connecticut are insured. This conclusion Is reached through study of about 33,0OO traffic accident reports for last year. There were 359,1S0 pas senger cars registered in Connecti- cut as of November l. 1887. Inas- much as the car owner was required to have an accident-free record for twelve months, it is assumed the insurance must have been writ ten prior to November 1st to permit

QUINN COMMENDS
 WATERBURY COPS
International President Pleased With Reduction
 of Accident Toll

The police department may right fully claim responsibility for the re- duction of automobile accidents and deaths in Waterbury, according to a letter received by Supt. of Police William J. Roach from Chief Will liam J. Quinn of the San Francisco police department, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
 Chief Statistician James J. Little of the police department reports that to date, the reduction of auto- mobiles in Waterbury is 50 per cent and the reduction of automobile &C., cidents is 29 per cent when compared with figures for 1897.
 The letter received by Supt. Roach states in part: Police may rightfully claim that the reduction in the acci- dent toll in Waterbury and the re- duction of fatal accidents belongs wholly to them" It is stated that the reason is the accident prevention work accomplished by the police de- partment here.
 Chief Quinn also reports that the association will sponsor radio broad casts for the purpose of keeping the public in touch with police activities.
