and experience. The basic skills which youth have developed on IVA projects will enable them more readily to secure jobs in private in- dustry when openings are available.
 Types of Order
 It is common practice on IVA projects to try youths out on sev- eral types of work in order that they may thus gain a broader under standing of the problems attaching to various trades, and better knowledge of their own aptitudes and abilities After having worked at several different types of jobs these young people are in a position to make more considered choice of vocation in line with their talents.
 All IVA project workers are re- quired to register at public employ ment offices and in an effort to help young people secure jobs in private industry the National Youth Admin istration has fostered establishment of junior placement service in con- nection with the employment serv- ices of the several states. Since the inauguration of this service in March, 1886, through July 1, 1889, POI ,637 young men and women have been placed in private jobs.

fdVOIdDly VOUeQ on was D. request by Griffenhagen that its auditors be allowed to complete their audit without making any further inves- tigation of accounts which the city charter commission report of 1930 said had been paid but against which | no payments had been listed on the | books. The other problem was then | brought up by Commissioners John | H. Goss and Major w. Judge, who said they felt the taxpayers involved had the right to expect that their accounts would be strengthened out.
 Healing Act
 Mention was made of "healing" act designed to free the late Tax Collector Jesse Devine from respons- ibility, under his bond, for the un- credited payments. Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello said that his recollection was that such an act had been passed by the Board of Finance, but that the aldermen had refused to approve it.
 William J. Armstrong, in charge of the Griffenhagen auditors here, asked the board for instruction on computing interest on old accounts. Some partial payments made by taxpayers were credited against the principal rather than the interest, i he said, and the rates of interest had been changed by law several times. The matter was referred to the economy committee.
 Hospital Costs
 A study of hospital costs to the city by Controller Martin J. Swee- ney was voted on motion of Com missioner Goss. He asked for this step after request by the Welfare Department for transfer of $16,000 from the emergency relief fund, with $12,000 of the sum sought to be used to pay for hospital bills of persons on relief. This $12,000 was cut to $7,000 by the board before the transfer was approved. "The hos pitals are getting money too easily" said the commissioner. T think the controller should check up and see what rates the city is paying" Sewer Projects
 Assistant City Engineer Henry Whitlock reported that the city's share of WPA sewer projects now underway totals $29,000. To carry projected sewer projects through to the end of the year, he said, about coco would be needed. The board was told that only about $26,000 is available. Commissioner Goss said | he doubted if the city could carry | GAO men, the number working on sewers, on the WPA for the rest of the year.
 Commissioner Judge pointed out that reports of the city treasurer were behind, and suggested that his pay be held up.

An increased number of young people in New Haven county will benefit from the work program of the National Youth Administration during the current fiscal year, July 1. 1889, through June 30 1940, &C., cording to an announcement today by Richard A. Barrett, IVA admins trator for Connecticut.
 Results of a tabulation just con- pleted and made public today show that during the month ending June 20 there were S91 youth employed on IVA projects in New Haven county. These young people had monthly earnings averaging $20. Thus it can be seen that IVA spent approximately $213,840 for youth abor in New Haven county during he fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, xclusive of amounts spent for ma ierials and supplies.
 Need Certified
 The youth employed on MA work projects were all between the ages of l8 and "A inclusive, out of school and unemployed. Their need had been certified by local relief authorities.
 IVA projects in Connecticut have included construction of recreational facilities, repair of public buildings, operation of workshops and sewing rooms, clerical activities, and many other types. The widespread use that facilities provided through IVA projects have received, show they are needed. The fact that the projects have been locally sponsored by cities, towns, state departments, and other governmental subdivisions indicate they are regarded as use- ful and desirable. For the most part IVA expenditures have been for wages, while sponsoring agencies have contributed to the purchase of materials.
 Not only did these part-time IVA jobs provide youngsters with much needed cash income, but they pro- vided an opportunity for boys and girls to acquire sound habits of work

The Snake River is free of ice along the jetties and revetments clear to the mouth of the river, where the Bering Sea ice still holds along the beach, both east and west
 Large fields of ice were seen passing Nome about one mile off shore the past two days. It was learned that ice along the east coast points between Solomon and Fort Davis let go along the beach and drifted west and is on it's way to the Arctic Ocean.
 The pilots of planes flying down the east coast report that there is very little ice to be seen if any beyond ten miles, but op- en water seems to be general. Therefore the ice pack must be several miles off shore and ex- tending toward Nunivak Island.

 Drivers License Examination.

only one hand on the wheel,t he other rests in his lap, hangs out the window or holds a cigar, pipe or cigarette. He has nowhere near the control or leverage he needs in an emergency.
 Not Hopeless
 Is the situation hopeless? MT. Baker believes 1t is not. All the foregoing faults can be corrected, he said, if they are detected soon enough by trained examiners of drivers license applicants.
 In an effort to bring such expert training on 8 larger scale, MT. Baker will conduct a two-week course, August 14-26, in "Adminis- tration of Drivers License Exam nations and the Training of Exam iners," as a part of the National Institute for Traffic Safety Train ing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
 MT. Baker, who has conducted schools for driver-training exam. iners in Il tates where about 100000 of the nations drivers live and operate their motor vehi- cles, says the Ann Arbor school will be the first for chief exami- ners, one froma state. Uuder drivers license law administra- tion the chief examiner super vises the work of all examiners who test applicants for licenses in that state.
 'Too many states" said Mir. Baker, think drivers license ex- aminations chould be given only to applicants with physical or mental handicaps or deficiencies.
 "There isn't the slightest doubt that these handicapped persons should undergo very strict and thorough examination before they are licensed to take an automobile onto the streets and highways.
 Complete Mastery
 There is evidence in accident records however, that many per- sons with physical defects com pare favorably with the able bodied drivers when it comes to safe driving. In contrast to the haphazard, ham habits of the able-bodied driver, the partially crippled driver. realizing his landi- cap, often makes Q mental blue print of his route and allows an ample margin of saftey for every turn and stop he has to make.
 At Ann Arbor we will attempt to set up driver examinations and methods of examining that will encourage the average driver of the motor car and follow the example of the conscientious crip- pied driver"

Are you a ham driver?

Are you ham driver?
 You probably are, If you are the average man or woman behind the wheel. For most of us be- have more or less like hams when 1t comes to driving an automobile safely.
 The authority for that charge is J. Stannard Baker, traffic safe- ty consultant for the National Safety Council, and he has plenty of evidence to back 1t up.
 "The majority of us drivers" he said "just pick up our driving habits as we go along following the prictices of other drivers we observe. This kind of training is a haphazard kind that rarely pro- duces anything but ham driv- CT. He simply employs the most convenient practices and makes no effort to master the niceties of driving which would be his best safeguards"
 Eight Answers
 And just what is 8 ham driv- CT? Well, MT. Baker describes him as follows:
 He can't make up his mind as to what he wants to do soon enough, and depends upon his ability to do it only when he has to.
 ?. He waits too long to get into the proper lane for turning. He's even likely to do his slowing down after he gets into the intersec- ton or on the turn, rather than before.
 3. He Is obvious to other traf- fic. He straddles lane lines as though he ware the only driver on the road. In extreme cases he can be found completely over on the left side of the highway. He is not intentionally being a road hog. He simply drifts over unconscious ly.
 4. He zooms out of a parking position at the curb with no re- gard for traffic that may be com- ing from behind. Again, he Is just thoughtless, rather than vicious.
 s. He makes a good enough" turn signal. He lets his hand dangle or flutter aimlessly from the window and following traffic doesn't know whether he's signal- ing @ turn, flicking ashes from a siganette or waving at some one on the sidewalk.
 6. He turns around and talks to others in the car as he drives instead of keeping his eyes on the road.
 2. He is guilty of bad posture. He slouches behind the wheel, sticks his left elbow out the win- dow.
 8. He is a one-hand wheeler. This is different from one-armed driving in which a girl usually oc- cupies the other arm. In one- hand wheeling the driver keeps
