Some o. them climbed aboard the train, anC were thrown off by train officials They l sised such a commotior that Willkie's aides finally awaken. ed. He appeared on the rear plat. form in his bathrobe, and said:
 "I've got a hard day tomorrow boys, how about letting me get som' sleep?"
 Some of the students thought was Wendell. Others knew it wasn't But when he finished, the student dispersed.
 During the demonstration, on student waved bottle and crawlet on top of the train where he wa within inches of the railroads pow CT line carrying 11,000 volts.

BAKERS INVENT
 NEW DOUGHNUT

 Hartford, Conn, Oct. 6.-(UPl- Until it received the social benedict ticn of Emily Post, the doughnut- dunking habit was pretty low-brow.
 But Miss Post changed all that with a tOndescending word that made it quite respectable and proper to roll the sleeves above the wrist, grasp the doughnut between the thumb and forefinger, plunge 1t into beaker of steaming coffee and then hoist it dribblingly to the mouth.
 Books have been written about dunking -how to dunk without splashing, the proper way to hold the doughnut before it is submerged, the approach and withdrawal, how to consume the Soggy ringlet noise lesSly, etc, ad infinitum.
 Glorious days, while they lasted, and now they're gone, gone, out- moded in the evolutionary march of progress. In Q word:
 The bakers have invented g ''pre- dtlnked" doughnutl
 This fluffy bit of pastry, reSem- bling the old-fashioned model, is coffee favored, and eliminates the breakfast table ritual which for many years delighted gourmets, ruined table cloths and scorched finger tips.
 Not yet on the market, 1t will make its debut at the fall conven- tion of the Connecticut Bakers As- SOciatiOn here next week. Ironically, however, the convene tion will hear several papers on the defense of dunking," before exhi- biting the new product. There is a tactical reason for this. President William J. Davis isn't sure how the pre- -dunker is going to "catch on."

 Despite the widespread confusion, the indisputable facts in the case seem to be:
 s i. The defense commission an- nounced that future government contracts would stipulate that the contractor must abide by the Na- tional Labor Relations Act.
 2. Jackson gave the commission an informal opinion that labor board findings "that an employer is in violation of the MIRA are bind ing and conclusive upon the other agencies of government unless and until these findings are reversed by court of competent jurisdiction"
 3. Reporters understand that ruling had been interpreted as a prohibition against letting of .de- fense contracts to employers found to be violating the act.
 But commission spokesmen inc formed the United Press there was no law prohibiting the letting of contracts under such circumstances, and that all existing contracts would be carried out regardless of whether the manufacturer had been found guilty by the labor board and was appealing to the courts, but that all future contracts would contain Q stipulation that labor board rulings would be observed by the contractor.

cidents; two were eleven years of age; three, seven years old, one was thirteen; one, nine years old; two five years old; one four years and tWS were two years of age.
 'The children involved in these accidents were students at seven different schools in the city. Three were passengers in their parents cars, four were riding bicycles, five were running in the roadway and one was injued by dynamite cap explosion, one was injured from a fall from a porch. Of the total traf- fic accidents involving children only enc resulted in the arrest of the op- orator.
 Officer Dwyer who has been as- signed by the Police Board to work in conjunction with the teachers in the training of the school child in the vital subject of safety says:
 We have experienced one of the most horrifying months of school child accidents in two years and half. These accidents do not happen because of lack of training for it is a known fact that the teachers and the police are working relentlessly to preSant these accidents which in- volve our future citizens. Neither the teachers nor the police can per- form this task without aid and tni; aid can only come from the parents Many times before we have re- quested parental assistance and now again we make plea for help. Chil- dren are impulsive and they do moi think, therefore the triangle of the parents, teachers and police mus think for them and protect them Parents can instruct at home in the proper safe methods of going to anc from schcool; of safe places to play The teachers are taking care of tht instruction in the schools and thu police are doing their utmost tt make the streets and highways a. safe as possible.
 We know that in, this modern da. and age of increased traffic tha1 children lace a hazardous situation but if all sides of the triangle wori together we will be assured tha the dangers of children being in volved in accidents will be lessened.'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-05

After completing one of the worst child accident months since the formation of the Accident Proven ton Bureau in 1886, the Police De- partment will start a vigorous con- paign to prevent the reoccurence of such accidents. The current year, 1940, has three school child deaths chargeable to it after a period of two years and half without a school-child traffic death.
 Since the school season began on September fifth there have been fourteen children injured in acci- dents, one of these resulted in a death. Of this total three were not of school age.
 The following is a monthly report prepared by Officer William Dwyer, the police departments safety in- structor in the school-system.
