supt. of Police William J. Roach while thanking the citizens of Waterbury for their cooperation in the accident prevention pro- gram of last year, calls again on every resident of the city to CO., operate during l940 by being safety conscious at all times.
 The police chief compliments the accident prevention bureau and the citizens traffic safety committee for their work in acci- dent reduction last year.
 Roach's statement follows:
 "The members of the accident prevention bureau and the inves- tigating squad who are under the command of Capt. Wm. Duggan, Lieutenant Jos. McEvoy and Sergt. Chas. McWeeney are to be complimented for their outstand- ing endeavors to make Waterbury a safer city.
 Not alone are the members of the bureau and squad to be hon. ored but also the entire populace of Waterbury must come in for their shore Of the glory by giving their whole hearted cooperation to the Police Departments Safety Campaign.
 Waterbury could not have achieved the substantial decrease in accidents in 1889 without this help from the driving and walking public. To make any city Q safer place in which to live this cooper ation is such an essential factor, and the people of Waterbury have indeed given the police the need- ed support to continue our work of protecting life, limb and prop- erty.
 An organization which comes In for e good share of the honor is the Citizens Traffic Safety Committee. This group of corn- munity betterment mined citizens have donated their time and ef- fort into making Waterbury's safety campaign Q success and their efforts have not been In vain for outstanding acrieve- ments have been attained.
 We are now in Q new year, 1940, 1t is the desire of the police to make this year safer and better than any before. To make 1t so we again must call on every man, woman and child in the city to cooperate by being "safety con- scious' ct all times. Become bet- ter and safer drivers, extend courtesy to other operators on the highway and by being Q safer

BUTCHERS ALERT
 FOR VIOLATIONS
Campaign Against Sunday Selling to Be Continued
 Arrests Expected

From 10 to 15 more arersts are ex- pected to be made next Sunday as the Waterbury Butchers and Gro- cers association continues to take steps towards enforcing the anti- Sunday sales statute.
 At Q meeting of the association Tuesday night, 1t was said that at least 10 more small store-keepers would be complained against early next week.
 Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Galullo said today he knew yloth. ing of plans to arrest more store- keepers next week. He said the pol- Icy of his office would be to con- tinue serving warrants after viewing the evidence.
 The practice has been for agents of the association to 90 out and make purchases on Sundays and then turn over the purchases to the prosecuting attorney. This practice was scored by Attorney Thomas r. Mcdrath In a recent trial as cree ating Q bad precedent. The associa- ton contends, however, that they are forced to the practice because the police department Is slack in en- forcing the statute.
 Several cases have been appealed to the court of common pleas fol- lowing convictions in city court.

Maidens and apples. Many of the Dutch citizens of early New York firm believers in omes, signs. and prognostications They were in deadly fear of ghosts and witches. Charms, scapularies and amucts were resortcd to antdoes to ward off the power of these supernatural enemies, as today. The New York City WPA Writers Project reports that beautiful maiden witches were believed to be able to change them selves into bright red apples to tempt young men into sin and ruin. It was strong man indeed who could pass an apple tree without falling for the inviting fruit on It's boughs Today they still tempt the men-the apples --and the madens Formerly every Dutch housewife had black pot in her tidy kitchen It aided in deter- ming the identity of the enemy devil When person became ill., the first step learn whether the patient was i'll or bewitched The pillow was taken from under into ferns of flowers was sign that the sick one Was victim of the evil hand. The black pot immediately brought into play To discover who had bewtched the into the pot of boiling water Whoever passed the door while the bird crying in pain was branded the witch Thus many an innocent individual was found guilty and "brewed" alive Today black pots are still associated with witches.

 Comes through on sibilant strings Much too much of wisecracking, But then Lawrence Tibbett sings A chorus sings Hallelujah,
 Someone propounds riddle, Our best actors do play
 Menhuin plays his fiddle. Never dull moment, Talks on war and the tax, Radio morning, noon and night, With not moment to relax. The radio goes round and round, It's wide and high as a steeple That catches bits on every air wave Just for we, the people.

c. Why do some Protestant groups object to the appointment Of MyrOn Taylor as President Roosevelt's personal representative to the Vatican Co cooperate with the pope for peace?
 A. Several denominations, not. ably the Northern, Southern and National Baptists, the Seventh Day Adventists and the Lutherans, fear that the sending of even an linofficiai representative to the Vatican implies the recognition of the political status Of on eccles- iaStical power, and that such rec- ognition constitutes an assault on the absolute separation of church and state, c doctrine held to Do basic to American Democracy.
