APPROVAL GIVEN METERS
Works Board Takes For- maj Vote On Installation
 Covers Future Work

Past and future installation of parking meters on sidewalks of the city was approved by the board of public works in a formal vote last night. The action was taken to forestall any claims that the boards approval should have been secured before the meter standards were placed on the sidewalks.
 The motion, it appeared, had been prepared in advance by Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch, author of the parking meter regulation passed by the police board and the proposed parking meter ordinance, still before the board of aldermen.
 The board, after hearings, ordered the installation of sewers on Win chester, Carmel, Simsbury, and Bellevue streets.
 Water billing for December, it was reported, totalled $8,644, an in- crease of approximately $200 over the figures for a year ago.

STATE ESCAPES
 THREAT OF FLU
New Low Record May Be Achieved In Connecticut
 During December

Connecticut will establish rec ord low influenza case rate in l940 barring undue incidence of the dis ease during the next two weeks, it was reported in the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. Influenza was made reportable in 1918. During the four months September to December, inclusive of 1913, there were 105 ,056 cases of the disease reported. To date this year, 145 cases have been recorded by the Bureau of Preventable Dis- eases. The previous low, 240 cases, was established in 1938.
 Influenza is definitely a winter disease, according to a table of cases reported to the State Department of Health since 1918. The symptoms are very similar to those of a com mon cold but are usually more se- we're. As a precautionary measure for the prevention of influenza, the bulletin cautioned the public to keep away from sick people and to avoid crowds during an outbreak. At the first sign of a cold one should go to bed and have physi- clan called immediately so that proper treatment may be given promptly. Those procedures not only protect others but give the patient the best chance for recovery with out complications.
 According to the bulletin, press reports of influenza on the west coast have prompted many inquiries as to the, possibility of the disease reaching Connecticut or the hazards of travel elsewhere. Indications are that this outbreak is of mild type with very low mortality. Few cases have resulted in pneumonia, one of the dangerous complications of in- fluenza.

Good Evening.

After dark now every day It's nice to see the bright lights play, While through the country one drives along Life seems good, just one sweet song. With Christmas approaching the lights take on color. The has brillance that winter has made duler Here and there tree sparkles through the dark And one great tall one is a-gleam in the park Bay windows are bright with many colored lights On trees all lighted up for series of nights. Stars are twinkling low, stars twinking high Here on the earth as well the sky And as you approach, perhaps great big city, The lighted display is very very pretty. But what like most is simply country home Standing four-square and quite alone WreatS in the windows lighted tree outside the door Spreading its cheery radancewho could ask for more?

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 17-No wonder there's a jolly, roSy-cheeked smile behind Santa's long white beard. It's going to be Americas merriest MerrieSt Christmas ever, with long, CT shopping lists than even in the Twenties.
 Maybe" says Lew Hahn, the big, quiet, white haired general manager of the National Retail Dry Goods Association, which represents some 5700 department stores the nation over, maybe we won't reach, in cash volume, the Christmas spend ing splurge of 1929, but we'll be way over the top in the number of pres ents we're going to give"
 This seeming contradiction is primarily due to the fact that pric- es this Christmas are considerably lower than in '29.
 The National Retail Dry Goods Association was in the midst of special national telegraphic survey of Christmas business when Hahn spoke. Cash volume of business, as far as our December returns show to date, seems to be anywhere from 10 to 30 per cent better than last year." he said. Where it is 30 per cent better, it undoubtedly exceeds Christmas business in 1929. But we estimate that the national average of business will be somewhere around 10 per cent ahead of last Christmas, which will be a bit short of 1923"
 Last Christmas department stores (which include Dry Goods stores, general merchandise houses and ap- parel stores in the associations fig ures) did a December volume of better than a billion dollars.
