 On the outward stretch Yates was continually inside. Fischer was putting badly. But on the inward trek, against the strong wind, Fischer was always inside Yates.
 Haas, U. s. national intercollegiate champion and also member of the Walker Cup team, owed his easy victory to his magnificent putting. He was out in 34, two under par, and was one under par for the 12 holes played.
 Haas sank 2l-foot putt to go two up at the second hole. A six footer at the fourth gave him a birdie three and put him three up, He turned five up and he coaSted to his quick victory. Ashworth was constantly in trouble with his sec ond shots.

By CHARLIE CHUCK" GERACE

Hello Folks:
 Old Jupe Pluvious put the damper on the Corsan's Seniors game Sun day; so the boys are hoping that this coming Sunday they will get a break in the weather.
 Smiling Joe" D'Andrea, who's got a pepsodent smile sure is a WOW with the women. Joe is quite an athlete also; in baseball Joe throws them in for Driggs.
 Izzie Cronan, outielder of the Corsan's and the Pals is about one of the best f1yhaWks seen around these parts. lizzie can belt that ball and also has a fine throwing arm. In his first game he threw two men out, from the outfield.
 Jerry Covillo, who plays center field for the Seniors is a great ad- mirer of Joe DiMaggio. Jerry is a good fielder, but little weak with the stick.
 Primo Zilaro and Al Dephalma the two greatest checker players of the club played exactly 2% hours, be- fore Primo Zilaro came through as the winner.
 Tony Mangiapone is saving all his pennies to buy candid camera. Tony is trying to develop films him. self.
 Joe ElilSonvich contributed a table three chairs and mirror for the club. If that isn't spirit and CO., operation. What is?
 Phil Regis our Stocky and comical fellow sure is a lot of fun when he gets started with his jokes.
 Tony Guerrero, happy -go-lucky fellow is always seen chumming around with Toots Nardozzi. | Tootie Nardozzi took in the Giants Cincinnati game Saturday at the Polo Grounds, but was disappointed in seeing his team drop Al de- cision to the Reds. Tootie thought a great deal of Melton, Coffman and Ival Goodman.

 Waterbury Office
Three Weeks Away-State Officials Fear Last Minute Rush; Penalties Face Delinquents

attention to decrease of four per cent in the receipts from opera tors license fees for January, Feb ruary and March of this year as compared with the same period last year. In dollars and cents the de- crease is about 5000.
 Warning Issued
 Operator licenses, stated the commissioner in stressing this phase of the quarterly statement, must be renewed before Sunday, May l. The department has issued many warnings to this effect through the courteour cooperation of our Con- | necticut newspapers who have de- voted liberal news and editorial space to this requirement.. We have had the 1888 licenses ready for some weeks. Operators should apply at the nearest motor vehicle de- partment office to their place of res idence. Our offices are located in | Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury, 1 Stamford, South Norwalk, Bridge port, New Haven, New London, Nor wich and Willimantic.
 While we have temporary offices functioning during the last week in April, as an extra service to the public, we urge all operators to ap- ply at the earliest possible date for their 1888 renewal and give the de- partment consideration. We hesitate to contemplate the congestion if | too large a percentage of operators wait until the final week of the month before securing their re- neWal."
 Net Receipts
 Total net receipts for the period from January to March 3l, 1858 of $3,896 ,25991 are reported, an in- crease of nearly three per cent over the same period last year. Receipts from the semi-annual inspection lanes for this period indicates more cars being brought to the lanes during the early weeks of the irl- spection period, the fees for the first 1 thre months of this year reaching $37,257.75 as compared with $25.- 79675 for the first quarter of 1887.
 Nearly 10000 more cars were reg istered during the first three months of 1888 than last year, the total for 1887 as of March 31 being 376,701 registrations. In dollars and cents the department received $3,635, ,259.05 in registration fees, an increase of ap- proximately four per cent over 1887 or $139, ,725.86. More temporary reg istrations were issued this year than for the first quarter of 1937 This is an economic investment for the motorists but so many each year seem to be in such a situation they do not want to pay the entire annual registration fee at one time. With the reduced registration cost now prevailing the temporary regis tration is a costly proposition for the motorist and should not be sought except in emergencies.
 There was a decrease of almost one third in motor vehicle transfers for the first quarter of 1888 over 1887 and in other phases of the comparative report the margins were slight, the final comparison being 2.7 per cent increase for this year over 1887.

 Therefore, I, Wilbur L. Cross do name Sunday, May l, 1888 as CHILD HEALTH DAY, and I call upon the people of this state to unite in an effort to ex- tend the application of our health knowledge and to pro- vide such health services as will insure to every child a full measure of good health.

ARTISTS ATWORK

Five WPA Men Now Paint ing Murals in Places
 They Will Decorate

Five WPA artists in Connecticut are now painting their murals di- rectly on the walls of the institu- tions they will decorate, and full filling the function U1 the much publicized "artist in residence" plan adopted by Wesleyan College and the University of Wisconsin, it was re- vealed at the state headquarters of the WPA federal art project recent ly.
 Although this sort of procedure has been followed frequently since the beginning of WPA federal art project work in 1886, it did not be- gin to take on an educational as- pect until last fall when the State Teachers College in New Britain requested that Milton Bellin paint his mural directly on the wall of their entrance hall where all the students could observe his methods.
 Aside from the permanent decora- tive and cultural value of finished mural, benefits accruing from this sort of procedure are primarily edu- CdLlOlldl AOL OilS eoCiANA olAoAA oA ooN dents. They are able to observe the artists technique from his first rough sketchs, through the making of the cartoon, to laying on the final paint coat and applying the varnish. It is discovered that students take keen interesting in the artist at work, and they frequently call on him for special instruction. The net results are that the students today are receiving a deep cultural ap- preciation of art that they will have for the rest of their lives.
 Mural art work similar to that in New Britain is now in progress at tie Troup junior high school in New Haven. the William Hall high school in West Hartford, the Port land high school in Portland and the Sterling community house in Stratford.

Automobile drivers in the Water bury district are slow in securing their 1888 operators licenses. ac- cording to Mrs. Alice Bradley, su- pervisor of the Waterbury branch office of the state department of mo- tor vehicles. The low number of applicants thus far is not in keeping with a trend noted over the entire state.
 Thus far less than 5000 persons have secured their drivers licenses at the local office. The total thus far is approximately 700 behind that of last year at this time. The new licenses must be secured by April 90 and must be used on May l.
 Hurry, Hurry!
 Mrs. Bradley urges all drivers to bring their applications as soon as possible to avoid the inevitable late rush that occurs each year. All that is necessary is to sign the applica- ton attached to the present license. The local office will be closed Good Friday.
 Thus far the entire motor vehicle department has issued 37,304 drivers licenses. as compared with total of 3S,987 at this time last year. The expected final state total is about 550,000, while the estimated local to- tai is 30,0O0.
 The remaining weeks of April will have to be exceedingly busy ones for the state department of motor vehicles if as many operators licenses are to be issued on or be- fore April 30, the last day on which current permits are valid, as was the case a year ago. The motoring public has been slow in applying for renewal of 1887 operators licenses. This is emphasized in the quarterly statement of receipts for 1888 issued this week by the department. om- missioner Michael A. Connor invites
