New Registration Record Fails to Materialize
 Says Mrs. Bradley

Efforts to establish new regis tration record failed yesterday as the motor vehicle department issued 2,250 marker inserts for a three month total of 23,750 sets as com- pared with last years total of 24050
 Supervisor Alice E. Bradley was unable to account for the drop be- low last years figure, as statistical data on motor vehicles within the territory of the Watertown avenue office indicated about the same number of vehicles owned.
 Inserts for 1889 must be dispaleyd on all cars on the highways today or drivers are liable to be arrested for operating unregistered motor vehi- cles. City and state police will be on the alert for violators.
 Automobile owners planning not to register their vehicles until next month may keep their markers until April 1, but those who do not intend to renew their certificates are con- pelled by law to surrender their markers to the department. No sav- ing is to be gained by withholding

With five more days remaining of the campaign to obtain $16,000 for keeping its public health serv- ice at adequate level, the Visiting Nurse Association today reported contributions amounting to a total of $7,805. 5.60.
 While the staff of IS nurses made their customary calls to about 150 homes today, conducted their well child conferences and mothers classes, contributions to continue this work did not reach the neces- sary proportion to assure success of the campaign.
 Curtailment Likely
 Unless several thousand dollars more is forthcoming from citizens of the community served by the as- sociation there impends curtail- ment of service for the rest of 1889. Probability is that the staff must be reduced and that fewer districts of the city can be served; there is possibility that some of the baby welfare and mother care service cannot be continued.

No Fatal Auto
 Accidents Here
 Since Dec. 18th

Waterbury marks today the 72nd day without a motor acci- dent fatality, according to rec ords of the accident prevention bureau. The last fatality due to an automobile occurred Decem- Der IS, last year.
 In this connection, Superin- tendent William J. Roach to- day expressed his appreciation for the cooperation of both mo- tOrists and pedestrians with the police departments campaign "to make Waterbury the safest city in the country" in terms of traffic accidents. He com mended police for their part in the safety campaign and the public for it's observance of the program which has resulted so far in gaining for Waterbury a high mark among cities of comparable size throughout the country.

Some of the dams and small hydro plants, seriously damaged by the flood, were not restored to op- erating condition as they are obso- lete in the light of today's state of the art.
 With the cooperation of the Grange and the state agricultural agencies, 152 miles of rural electric lines were built by the company during the year. Over 81 per cent of the farms in the territory that Connecticut Light and Power serves now have electricity available to them from it's lines.
 Customers bills, taken as whole, have been reduced by $669,529 an- nually in consequence of price re- ductions made during the year. Re- ductions made at various times dur ing the eight-year period, 1881 to 1888 inclusive, have resulted in total savings to consumers of approXi- mately $3,OOO,000 annually, based on the volume of sales at the time the reduction was made.
 Facilities Enlarged
 Despite the hurricanes interrup- tion to regular operations, the pro- gram for bettering the company's facilities throughout the state and for enlarging them to care for Con- necticut's growing needs was exc cuted as projected, Among the larger items completed during 1888 were: new 66,000-volt, steel tower transmission line between Norwalk and Stamford to further safeguard the power supply to southwestern Connecticut; new service and-office building at Els sex to better serve central Connec- ticut; an additional gas storage holder at Waterbury and the en- largement of major substation in that city; new 66000-volt, trans mission between Willimantic and Rockville.

 Valuable Service
 Supporting the Visiting Nurse Associations efforts to raise $16,0O0 J. Francis Smith said: "It is my belief that the service provided by the Visiting Nurse Association of Waterbury is of great value to all the citizens of this city. I have some knowledge of health work in the city, and I have no hesitancy in saying that I consider your association to be indispensable. MT. Smith will speak in behalf of the campaign at 5:55 o'clock tonight over sta- tion WATR.
 Miss Grace L. White, superin- tendent of welfare said: T have been cognizant of the excellent work accomplished by the Visit ing Nurse Association over per- iod of years and feel that any curtailment of the program would be disastrous to the community. I believe there is definite need for the type of health service de- signed by the Visiting Nurse Asso- citation to promote and protect health and vitality and to make this service available to all peo- ple."
 pr. Herr Speaks
 Dr. Edward A. Herr, president of the Waterbury Medical Asso- citation said: "The Waterbury Vis- iting Nurse Association has a value at the present time in our city, and. to curtail or eliminate its work by cutting off service would add hardship on those to whom this organization adminis- ters."
 Miss Alice M. Peak, director O the Visiting Nurse association spoke yesterday over Station WAITE on work of the nurses, taking a. her theme an actual call for dut, by a Visiting Nurse. She described an incident taken from real lift which depicted the service of { Visiting Nurse to one famil! through a considerable period O hardship and sickness.
 Explains Phases
 Explanation of some phases of the Visiting Nurse Association was offered today by campaign official.
 ''The V. N. A. is not govern ment agency" said Mrs. A. H. Goepel, publicity chairman of the Visiting Nurse Association, today. Those letters", Mrs. Goepel con- tinued, "are taken by many to mean that we are another gov- ernment financed bureau. If that were so, it would not be necessary for us to raise our oper- ating expenses by popular sub scription, as we are now trying to do. More Waterbury people than ever before are using this public health nursing service, as the as- sociation's records show. This Is not necessarily because we have more illness, but because more peo- pie realize how broad the Visiting Nurse service is.
 "The insurance companies know very definitely how valuable the Visiting Nurse is, since they paid for A per cent of the 5.966 calls made by nurses last year. They have done their part in maintain- ing an adequate staff of nurses in Waterbury. But more than 50 per- cent of all calls made are not paid for. Unemployment, depleted sav- ings, and poverty are some of the reasons. If everyone who has not contributed will send something, no matter how small, to Visiting Nurse Headquarters, 37 Central

EUROPE
War or Peace?

War or long negotiations, either
may be the outcome Of the diplo-
matte exchanges now proceeding be-
tween London and Berlin. Much de-
ponds upon the nature of Hitler's re-
ply to the latest message from the
British cabinet. Tension is high in
all European capitals, war threats
still hold the stage and before these
lines reach the reader, the clash Of
arms may be resounding in Europe.
But hope for a peaceful settlement
over Poland has not been aban-
doned.
The British and French, apparent
ly, are willing to concede something
to Germany, but by no means all
that Hitler demands. The showdown
may come quickly.
1t is apparent that each side is
trying to bully the other with its
bellicose intentions in order to force
some sort of deal to avert war.
The latest British note, it was said,
shows a willingness to facilitate
negotiated settlement between Ger
many and Poland. It also contained
a fiat warning that any German
threat to the independence of Po-
land would find Britain and France
fighting on the side of the Poles.
It is evident that at last the pa
tience of France and Britain has
