and the enactment of the necessary
basic Legislation definitely outlin-
ing a plan for unified correctional
system and setting forth the meth
ods and rules which would govern
the commitment, treatment and su-

a framework of legislative policy
were enacted the system could be
developed logically and without lost

In drafting the legislation, he add
ed, consideration should also be
given to the suggestions made by
the District Parole Board for
changing the present sentencing
and parole law applying to felony
cases.
He also suggested that necessary
personnel be provided for the pro-
baton system of the District Su-
preme Court and Police Court.
The prison director advocated the
Inauguration of a realistic PLAN

Though he said he believed the
District penal institutions are cor
recting deficiencies as rapidly as
possible and making sound progress,
he asserted that the paramount peed
was for attention to be directed to
basic problems OF organization and
future development.

brating. I think we have.
 In the first place, no one can say that there have been fewer ac- cidents merely because there has been less cars and less travel. Since 1886 when our bureau and squad were formed automobiles and travel on our city streets has increased.
 And in that period of increased vehicles and travel accidents have been reduced 5l per cent.
 Some may ask if this big reduc- tion isn't a matter of luck. Others may ask if we're not celebrating a little too soon.
 Well, in baseball @ fan is wise not to cheer too loudly just because his team Is ahead in the second inning. But when nine innings are over he has a right to tell the world his team has won. True, tomorrow it may be different. But today we've won!
 Citizens Interested
 Why have we had this measure of success? I believe it Is because so much seed has been sown in the past three years. This trafac acci- dent reduction is the result of Wa terbury's citizens interest in mak- ing our streets and highways safer.
 There has been a slow but steady buildup of public interest in traffic safety. We know more about effec- tive court procedure, more about highway paroling, more about school child education for safety.
 Industries first proved that acci- dents are not necessary. Thousands of employers now maintain rock bottom accident rates year after year.
 The same thing can be accom- plished in trafac safety.
 It is a long pull, this business ot making people understand the facts about a basis human problem such as accident prevention. It would be hoping too much, probably, te expect to maintain interest at white heat over such long periods. But my opinion is that this downward trend of accidents in our city rep resents a definite turn in events.
 We are not going to let this suc- cess go to our heads. We are moi going to let down our guards or pull our punches in our war on ac- cidents. We are going to continue our never dying interest in protect ing people against themselves"

Cassidy Mixes
 Rhyme, Reason In Courtroom

Several motions concerning the case of Margaret DeCarufel against The City of Waterbury, The Town of Watertown, The State Highway Commissioner and the Conn. Co. were argued recent ly before the superior court in Winsted. The case was partly heard last month before Judge Inglis but when the complaint was amended, the court eventually de- clared a mistrial. Judge Inglis then disqualified himself from hearing the case further and the subsequent motions were heard by Judge Arthur F. Els, who in the near future will become a mem- Der of the Connecticut supreme court.
 The Plaintiff is seeking damages for injuries, alleged to have been received when she fell on a defec- tive highway at the intersection of Candee Hill road and Main street in Watertown. The highway commissioner and the Town of Watertown have demurred to the amended complaint and the City of Waterbury as well as the trol- ley company have motions before the court asking that the amended complaint be made more specific. While Attorney John H. Cassidy, counsel for Watertown, was argu- ing his demurrer at the short cal- endar session, he irnprovised an old nursery rhyme and brought up big laugh from the court room, when he dramatically said:
 "Rise, Margaret, rise;
 Wipe out your eyes: Turn to the East and
 Turn to the West.
 Then turn to the defendant
 Whom you can stick best
 MT. Cassidy is of the opinion hat his client should be absolved All the other counsel feel the same way about their clients Judge Fills has mot yet decided any of the motions, but he believes that unless the case is settled. it will be a long time before 1t is ad- indicated. because there are plead ings and more pleadings. Incl. dentally the engineer, in charge oi the trolley company work at the time of the accident, is now ir Miami, Florida, and his deposi lion will be taken early nexl month. ,. ... ...

ROSARY SOCIETY
 EXTENDING SALE

So generous was the resopnse of parishoners to the society's appeal for wearing apparel that the mem. bers of the Rosary Confraternity Society of St. Margaret's church announced last evening, following a committee meeting, that the rum-
 mage sale, which opened at 146 Grand street Thursday for two days would be continued until this eve ming. The sale was largely attended Thursday and Friday, but as the society received SO many excellent articles of clothing, particularly adapted for the present cold spell, that 1t was voted to extend the sale so as to include today. The patron age during the past two days has been splendid and the society Is grateful for the cooperative spirit shown by the public as well as for the generosity of their friends.

Three consecutive years of trafic reduction is the result of the inc tereSt of waterbury citizens in mak- ing our streets and highways safer, states supt. of Police William J Roach in his weekly safety state ment.
 The chief says the success is due to steady build-up of public interest in trafac safety, to the increased knowledge of court procedure, high way patrolling, and child education for safety.
 Weekly Statement
 His statement follows:
 Stopping accidents does not stir the blood like watching prize fight or a circus parade.
 Similarly, those who have built the framework of safety are not much inclined to be emotional Their job is long pull. Neverthe- less, we are throwing our hats into the air right now and celebrating three consecutive years of reduction in traffic accidents.
