DELAY IN CALLING
GUARDS ORDERED
CONTINUED from Page One)

Active duty will be deferred for
approximately $4,000 men under a
revised, tentative schedule, which
provides for calling out eight di-
visions and scores of other units
between Jan. and April l for
years training and service. Origi-
nally. it was planned to have all
national guardsmen in training by
Feb. 3.
Secretary Stimson ascribed the
delays in completing camps to
weather conditions, labor difficult
ties and water shortage, among
other factors, but told a press con-
ference that in general the War
department had given very
creditable performance" thus far
in expanding the land forces to
record peacetime proportions.
"Some delays are inevitable, .
Stimson asserted, barking back to
personal experiences in the World
war.
The guardsmen are to help train
the 100000 selective service re-
cruits to be inducted by next June,
but Stimson told an inquirer he
could not say "off hand" whether
schedules ~or mobilizins draftees
would be vised. At present, these
call for induction of approximately
16O, 1000 men in January.
Stimson likewise e>aded inabili-
ty to say whether new housing for
regular army troops was behind
schedule.

FLAMES DESTROY
PHILLIPS HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. G. K. Hewett, next
door neighbors, while playing in
the yard of her home about 4:30
o'clock.
When neighbors and passers-by
rushed to the scene and smashed
several windows in an effort to
save some of the furniture, smoke
poured out, and flames swept
throughout the structure.
They had time only 10 remove
four large beach chairs from the
lower front porch and one table
from the side porch.
C. X. Hewett, a neighbor, ex-
pressed the belief the blaze was
caused by defective wiring which
entered the structure in the upper
rear room on the northeast corner,
where the fire was thought to have
originated.
The blaze was believed to have
started about two hours earlier in
the afternoon, Hewett said, as II
had gained considerable headway
and was well beyond control when
first discovered.
The house was of old colonial
architecture, two story frame
dwelling, and contained from IL to
IA rooms, all completely furnish
ed. Two massive white columns in
front of the home were also leveled
by the flames.
The structure was about Is years
old and had been remodeled sew
eral years ago. It was formerly
owned by Edwin P. Josey.

Speed Vs. Safety
Strict Enforcement of Law Best Educative Means of Reducing Accidents Here, Declares Police Supt. Roach in Weekly Statement.

sisterlt with safety and certainly no reason can be found for con- tinuing to allow a comparatively small percentage to drive at such speeds which render them a dis tinct menace.
 Obviously, increased enforce ment must be the link between the plan of stated speed limits as a plan of control and reduced motor vehicle accidents. In some respects, at least, this plan will fit the average driver in the average car to the conditions of our streets and highways.
 Return to Sanity
 It has been stated that it is characteristic of modern man to gratify his desires, in speeding as in other matters, just as far as he thinks he may get away with it.
 But let us remind you that you will not get away with it. Let's return to sanity. Let's admit that the establishment of a speed level is necessity because there l. is 8 considerable element of the population who cannot be edu. cated by any other means than enforcement. So, remember that Waterbury's 25 mile 'an hour speed law will be enforced and if you violate it you will be the sufferer"
