Flowered Toes

Spring flowers in pastel colors are
painted over the toes to grace the
newest stockings for evening wear.
Obviously designed for open-toed
slippers, they are an intriguing as
well as q decorative touch.

This stunning costume conveys
important fashion news. The huge
Milan straw Breton with its daring,
1aring ribbon-bound brim is decid-
edly news for the coming months.
The gathered pockets on the skirt,
the fact that the costume is car
ried out in black with white ac-
cents, the bolero silhouette, the
frost-white revers of immaculate
embroidered and starched pique are
all style items that go to make an
up-to-the-moment costume for i'm
mediate wear.

BEAUTY HINTS
Laugh and Be Beautiful
By Nina Temple

Laugh and Be Beautiful
Strange as it seems, the woman who
laughs much is never without some
semblance of beauty even though her
features be plain. There is something
so pleasing upon the features that are
lifted with a laugh The corners of the
mouth turn up and the eyes sparkle
alluringly. Sit before your mirror and
watch the effect Of al augh upon your
countenance, then frown and note the
difference. After this experiment you
will not be slow to lift your whole life
with the magic of laughter.
Keeping the Chin Beautiful
It is said that you can tell a woman's
age by her throat. But there is a way
to defeat this. I'll tell you how. Just
bend the head backward as far as you
can and massage the muscles of the
throat with skin food. Then rub with
ice. This keeps the throat firm and
beautiful.
Bags Under the Eye
Bags or pouches under the eye add
years to a woman's age. To get rid of
them should be her first duty and this
is the way to go about it. At night
massage skin food or tissue into the
loose skin. And in the morning pat
some astringent into the skin made of
this mixture.
IL ounce alcohol.
s drops Tincture benzoin.
/ 10 ounces rose water.
ROuging the Lips Correctly
Few women know the little Holly
wood secret of rouging the top lip cor
rectly. It is this: Carry the lip stick
far into the corners of the lips and turn
the line slightly up. This gives the
mouth youthful and pleasing express
sion. Never stop the rouge line short
as it makes the lips appear puckered.
A small mouth is seldom pretty.
Sun FrOwns
Have you noticed the people who go
down the street frowning? These sun
frowns grow deeper and deeper into
the skin until you cannot smoothe your
face even when there is no sun. They
remain deep burrows into your face.
So, be wise and keep your face calm
and smoothe in spite Of the sun and so
defeat the wrinkle maker.

The outcome of Connecticut,s election in November will have a direct and important influence on the nation, declared Odell Shepard, Democratic candidate for lieuten- ant-governor, in an interview today.
 The noted educator, writer and Pulitzer prize biographer was dis cussing his reasons for entering the political arena. This is the first time he has even been @ candidate for any office.
 Referring to his own record of non-participation in politics in the past, Dr. Shepard said the exigen- cies of the current world situation made it imperative for 'the writer to climb down from his ivory tower and for the teacher to come out from behind his ivied walls" to join the fight for democracy.
 No Personal Ambition
 Dr. Shepard said that no personal ambition marked his initial venture into poliics. His reasons, he as- serted, were easily outlined.
 Like the rest of us," he said, T see America and Connecticut in dan- ger. I see the lines of the national contest clearly drawn in our own state.
 What we do in Connecticut in this election will have & national significance and may help to save democratic liberties everywhere. For here we have community built up and chiefly maintained by working people, by people of many national itieS and creeds.
 Connecticut belongs to these working people because they made 1t. The main task of politics just now is to defend their democratic rights. This task can best be done, I believe by the Democratic party, which to me is the party of all true liberals. I should like to have 8 part in the task of defending the workers of Connecticut and Amer lea simply because I am one of them"
 LIT. Sneparu reanhEhcu tkant pol- tical work now has become the duty of every decent and responsible" citizen. Tn his opinion, political participation is . common task face ing all.
 Not Normal Times
 Millions of Americans soon will find themselves working ct jobs which, c few months ago, would have seemed quite out of their iine,' he added. T should like to be one of the many. For theso are not normal times. ft k no ordinary election that lles ahead. MvsEy American worthy Of the nnlne will want to be in this contest and bring to lt tho best hs has"

Professor Shepard
 Discloses Reasons
No Personal Ambitions Behind First Venture Into Realm of Politics Say Noted Writer
 Duty to America Uppermost Today

Dr. Shepard believes that America will emerge from the crucible of its present test as part of common humanity, more mature, with an in- tensification of spiritual life and a deepening of intellectual life"
 He recalled that in his acceptance speech to the Democratic conven- tion which nominated him for lieu tenant-governor, he had read to the delegates some of his own poetry. The lines he likes best are:
 "GlOriOus days to be alive in,
 'When with furious might and
 main,
 God is fashiOning the future I"On the anvil-hOrns of pain"
 'These lines," concluded Dr. Shepard, symbolic what I think more strongly as the days go by. They recognize the terror that is abroad. This terror will turn to our advantage in the end. We are young. We will grow up. The fat, empty headed years of the 1920s are gone for our time and am glad of it."

 Plans Facing Delay

WASHINGTON HILL
Correspondents Mrs. Frank McGrath Telephone 4-65s0

The Memorial Drinking Fountain sponsored by the Community Club will not be completed until next Spring, according to the latest re- ports from MT. Curtin, Supt. of Parks. The explanation of this is because of the necessity of having a stone cutter get the stones in readiness-and this of course can be accomplished during the win ter months.
 MT. Curtin also reports that he has many plans in mind for Wash ington Park and hopes the people of this community and in fact everyone on the Hill will cooper ate with the Park Department to help keep our Community House in as good condition as it is pos sible, after all the renovations are completed. Among the improve ments for the park are the picnic grove below the Community House which has long been needed =

Rabbi SheinkOpf Gives Principal Holy Day Sermon;
 Local SynagOgnes Crowded for Services

Orthodox and conservative Jews attended five places of worship in the city yesterday in the first day of Rosh Hashanah services held to celebrate the New Years day of o7O1 of the Jewish calendar. Rabbis rendered sermons asking for pray CTS of peniter1ce and calling for greater religious training in syna- gogues through the city. The New Years holiday continued today with other sermons.
 Rabbi Sheinkopf this morning spoke at Beth Israel synagogue on ''The Shofar and the Trumpet" !" Later he preached at the Beth-El synagogue on the subject, My Soul Shall Weep in Secret"
 Rabbi Greenfield discussed Build ing From the Foundation Up- ward" at services in the Beth-El synagogue this morning. The last services of the holiday will be held at Sundown.
 The principal holiday address was given yesterday by Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf at the Water bury Hebrew Institute, who de- clared that America is destined to become the greatest center of Jew ish life in the world and that ". unto American Israel, the Jews of the whole world will look for strength and salvation"
 "Never in all our history has there been a greater call for sacri- flee on the part of a jew for his peoples sake than there is today said Rabbi Sheinkopf.
 Rabbi William P. Greenfield, speaking before his congregation at Beth-El synagogue, claimed that through good religious teaching to the individual and not through

 Connecticut Losing
 For the past five years Connecti- cut has been surpassed in family vitality by forty-six states in the Union and has descended to the second lowest place in the nation in birth rate. In 1930 and 1881 Con- necticut was seventh lowest among the states; in 1892 and 1933 it was fifth lowest; from 1894 to 1889 it has been the second lowest. This in- formation is contained in the 1940 Special Report on Vital Statistics from the Bureau of the Census, De- partment of Commerce, Washing ton, D. c. The birth rates by states are based on the number of live births per 1000 estimated popula- ton. When superintendents, prip- cipals, and teachers were confront ed with a loss of 9,426 pupils in ore year, it was the school-entering group of children born in 1933 when Connecticut was in fifth lowest place Preparation for more striking losses should be made when the school entering groups will constitute the second lowest birth rate for a con- secutive period of five years to come.
 It will take only one more step to put Connecticut in the last condition of decadent vitality-the lowest place in the nation. Connecticut blue bloods and plutocrats are planning legislation to legalize birth control clinics so. that the birth rate will be made the lowest of the low. The clean of heart cannot be deceived by their debasing propaganda. "Suf- fer the little children to come unto Me" shall always be the understand ing of Christian parents and Chris tian teachers and Christian legisla- tors. To delete from our statute books what has been illegal and un- lawful for three hundred years of Connecticut vitality is direct in vitation to family decadence and state deterioration.

Diocesan Supervisor
 Father Munich Issues
 Report on Attendance
Scores COnneCtiCufs "BluebIOOds" PlutOcrats for A Campaigning in Interest of Birth Control; Decadent Vitality in State Apparent

Catholic schools in Waterbury saved the city 8 total of $61O, ,743.78 last year, according to the annual report of Rev. Austin F. Munich, diocesan superintendent of schools, in his annual report, printed in The Catholic Transcript. Total savings for cities and towns of the state through Catholic grammar and high schools amounted to more than $4,- 100000, the figures reveal.
 The local saving is computed on the basis of daily average attend ance of 3,778 in parochial schools and 853 in Catholic high schools. The saving through parochial schools, on a basis of per pupils cost of $132.32 in the local public schools, is $499, ,904.96. The saving through Catholic high schools, on basis of per pupil cost of $129.94 in the local public high schools, total $110,838.82. 5,127 Pupils
 Waterbury has total of 5,127 boys and girls attending local Cath olic schools. Eight parochial gram mar schools have a total registra- ton of 3,996, two Catholic high schools have total registration of 918, and one Catholic Academy has a total registration of 113.
 Alarming declines in school regis tration in the state are cited by Father Munich in his report, and he attacks efforts for repeal of birth control legislation now on the stat ute books. He recommends extension of the. plan whereby public school pupils are dismissed for an hour each week for religious instruction.
 Fundamental American rights have 8 religious basis, he says, and religion should be a most important part of education.
 Connecticut blue bloods and pluto crats," he asserts, are behind the campaign for repeal of the birth control laws.
 Schools Neglected
 A portion of Father Munich's re- port follows:
 Too long have many public schools neglected the religious basis of the fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence. Too long have many public school leaders and admins trntors neglected the admonition of the Father of Our Country that re- ligion is an indispensable support to political prosperity. With al- most no caution at all, some of them have indulged the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. This grave situ- ation should be faced and discussed amicably for the sound improve ment of American educational prac- tice. One workable remedy is an arranged dismissal of public school children for religious instruction in conformity with the will and au- shorization of their parents. This plan has been practiced in Bridge port, Waterbury, New Britain, 5tonington, and Hamden. In the hree cities the arrangement has

BUND DISPOSES
 OF CAMP LAND

Southbury, Conn, Oct. 4(UP)- The German-American Bund, pre- vented from establishing a camp here two years ago when townspeo- pie voted special zoning laws, ended the controversy today by disposing of its 187-acre tract to George A. Munk, Springdale.
 Assistant Town Clerk Miss Bernice Hubbell said the property had been transferred to Munk by Wolfang Jung, New Rochelle, N. Y. Munk, it was reporetd, was considering building a summer home there.
 The Bund-town dispute arose when the Bund announced it planned to set up camp for physical train ing of its young members. Several Bund members were arrested for vio- lating the Sunday work law as they started to clear the land of under brush. A special town meeting was called and the zoning laws were passed, purposely outlawing the camp by placing that section of the town in a residential area.
