HARTFORD FIRM
 GIVEN CONTRACT
Economy Committee to
 Recommend Out of Town Firms for Printing

Contracts for the printing of the voting lists for the city manager referendum Oct. and the regular city election Nov. IA will be awarded by the board of finance tomorrow afternoon. The economy committee will recommend to the board ttAt the referendum list contract Joe awarded to Hartford firm, the Bond Press, at price of $2,477. The committee will make no recommen- dation on letting the election list contract.
 The Bond Press was not the lowest bidder for the referendum list printing, its bid being $2 more than that of the Speed Press, of Water- bury, which submitted an offer of $2,475. The committee favors the Hartford firm because 1t submitted a $l476 bid for printing the regular election list, which was SPA less for that jo mthan the bid of the Speed Press.
 A bid of $3,7O0 for printing the referendum list and $1200 for print ing the regular election list was submitted by the Waterbury Print ing Go. Case, Lockwood & Brainard, Of Hartford, offered bid of $2,89l for printing the referendum list and $l ,541 for printing the regular elec- tion list.
 It is understood that local print ing firms will protest against the award of the contract to an out-of- town firm but the finance board is expected to follow the recommends tion of its economy committee.

is moving. No, it is not star. It is 8 British bomber pretending to be an enemy. The quiet is so intense that you can hear the roar of it's propellers miles off.
 Suddenly lights begin to stab the dark. They are the army's searchlights. One of them picks out the swift-flying bomber. Now another catches it. Now still an- other.
 As the bomber moves, it is bathed in brilliant light. In war time anti-aircraft guns would be crashing their deadly shots at her, trying to bring her down. Or the very swift Spitfire fighter lanes, capable of over $50 miles an hour, would be chasing her, trying to cut short her career.
 WARDENs CHECK
 CARELESS CITIZENS The bomber has gone on its way. Once more the quiet-so quiet that a baby's fretful crying in building blocks away can be plainly heard. Now you hear the tramp of feet. It is an Air Raid Warden. He has seen that some careless person has left a light burning and failed to pull down his blinds completely.
 There is a knock at the door.
 Lights out" commands the war den.
 And SO this imitation wartime game goes on until 1, in the morn ing when dawn comes to London. The test is over. The milk wagons begin to roll. The bread delivery vans are heard. The great city has become itself again.

FAR-REACHING VIEW BEFORE ZERO HOUR
BY MILTON BRONNER

FAR VIEW
 BEFORE ZERO HOUR In the lingering twilight and the glow from street lamps you can pick out many of the London land- marks. Comparatively near at hand is the campanile of the Byzantine style Roman Catholic Cathedral of Westminster. Farther along loom the towers of the Parliament House, including the one which houses fa- nous Big Ben. Farther in the dis tance you can just barely discern Wren's masterpiece, the far-famed dome of St. Pauls Cathedral.
 That pinkish glow you see to the left comes from the neon signs in Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square-the heart of the empire. And way to the East for miles and miles there are the rows of little houses. London has no skyscrapers soaring into the sky. From below, there comes the sound of traffic automobiles, countless red busses, occasionally the muffled thunder of the under ground trains.
 "BLACKOUT" TAKES
 BUT FIVE MINUTES
 Now it is zero hour-12.30 a. m. No sirens screech out the warning to douse the lights as they would in time. But all citizens have been warned and there are Air Raid Wardens and thousands of police to see that the request for Flights out" is obeyed.
 Look closely now. You see the lights, thousands of them street lights, electric globes in houses and factories winking out. h. side five minutes London's heart is stilled. The worlds biggest city is plunged in darkness.
 Down in Piccadilly a curious throng may be milling about, but here from this window it is as if London had ceased to be. It's just black night with no lights save for the bright stars.
 One star has a greenish tint. It
