mouth. His coat was found neatly folded on the rear seat of the car.
 Local police had been looking for German since yesterday. They were urged to seek him out and advise him to go home, that there was ill., ness in his family. German was reported to be an employe of the Chase Brass & Copper Go.
 O'Neill, who found the body, was out for an early morning ride, when Germans automobile, parked off the highway, attracted his attention. Approaching the scene to inves- tigate, he noted German slumped across the front seat apparently dead.
 Patrolman Carlton Lockhart of the Wolcott police was immediately notified and upon his arrival on the scene he was joined shortly by Capt. William J. Duggan and Sergeant George Chatfield of the Waterbury police. Layton Rose, who becomes judge of the Wolcott town court July l, was also at the scene.
 The medical examiner was being awaited at press time.
 The Crow cottage, was destroyed by state police during their quest of the murderer of Clarence Yuskis and Julius Karvauskas. Thinking that Crow had barricaded himself in the shack, police fired hundreds of bullets into it, before entering. They subsequently, tore it down.

 speed than that listed is dangefous. Parking is limited, or prohibited, he says, for equally good reasons.
 The cause of safety will be greatly promoted, he states, if all drivers learn that signs and signals have definite purposes and should be obeyed.
 Weekly Appeal
 Superintendent Roach's statement follows:
 Anyone who drives a car is confronted with a great variety of traffic signs.
 "No parking, Speed Limit 30 Miles Per Hour" "Slow Danger These are typical of the instructions given to motorists as they drive along.
 How often, though do we find cars parked at the No Parking sign? How many fifty mile-per -hour driv- CTS do we see on the street where signs say 30 miles is the limit? And how many cars sail past the danger sign without a let-up in speed?'
 "Why do they do it? Why don't drivers obey these instructions and admonitions put along the highways by our off1cials?'
 Undoubtedly, there is more than one reason. But one basic trouble, l think, is that many motorists have no confidence in the usefulness of such signs
 we all remember the fable about the boys who cried wolf" Several times when he gave the alarm, the villagers rushed out to save the sheep, only to find that there was no wolf at all. When the boy cried out once more his friends failed to come, not wanting to be fooled again, and that time the wolf ate up the sheep"
 Isn't it the same with many of our signs and signals? So many times they tell us something which doesn't turn out as we might have expected. Therefore we get in the habit of ignoring the warnings. Un- fortunately, there may come a time when an accident results, just as, on the final occasion, the wolf ate up the sheep
 What is the moral?
 "In the first place, the signs would not be placed on street without 8 definite purpose. If it were safe to exceed 30 miles an hour on a street so marked at 30 miles per hour then that sign is of no value but that 30 miles an hour sign has been placed on that street because it has been learned that this speed is the safe rate of speed to travel on this particular street. If there wasn't good reason to prohibit parking along 8 certain street then parking would be allowed. Stop signs are not placed at certain corners just to satisfy the whim of someone in the neighborhood but have been placed there for definite purpose"
 When the motorists realize the purpose of these signs then the po- lice will be better able to get them to obey. For good enforcement is possible only with regulations that are enforceable"
 "The motorists, I believe, are gen. erally willing to obey those traffic signs and signals that he feels real- ly contribute to an orderly move ment of traffic.
 "In other words, when the aver age motorists can be made to believe in signs, then he is much more nke- ly to obey them.
 During the summer months when your hours on the road have been increased remember to obey the signs and signals put up for your protection and by your obedi- ence to them you will bring the folks back alive
