SPRING HAZARDS
 FACE MOTORISTS
High Winds, Sudden Rains Call For Precautions;
 Thaws Treacherous

High winds, sudden rainstorms, soft, treacherous road shoulders. highways full of potholes resulting from thaws -these are among the special hazards awaiting the Spring motorist. & F@
 For drivers who soon will follow the beckoning attractions of Spring along the country's highways, the National Conservation Bureau, acci- dent prevention division of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives, offers the following sug- gestions:
 It is good idea to have the fam fly car inspected before venturing on the first extended tour of the year. Check tires, headlamps, bat tery, brakes and other items of equipment to mack sure they are in good operating condition. During those drenching showers that bring May flowers you will need wind- shield wiper, one in good order.
 The highway will be more crowd- ed than during cold months, so re- member that the exercise of court esy which means yielding the right of way whenever there is any doubt as to who has it = and the use of judgment-which includes suiting your speed to road and traf- fic conditions at all times are among the best rules to fololw if you would avoid accident.
 City parks will begin to fill with pedestrians, and many more chil. dren will be playing in the streets "a warning to all motorists to be on the lookout for reckless pedestrians, and to be especially cautious at in. tersections. In cities, two out of every five deaths from traffic acci- dents occur at intersections.
 Now. at the beginning of the driv- ing season. is the time to make their investment postponed last year, in new. safe tires. Blowouts almost never occur with fresh tires and tubes.
 As the warm weather progresses you will meet more bicyclists on the road. Sound the horn as warn- ing and give them a wide berth.
 In many northern sections of the country you may still come un- especially upon ice on the road, es-

pecially after sun-dOwn. watch out for such conditions. particularly in Inolmtainous territory and around curves. For this reason, slowing down at night ig doubly important.
 When planning long trip in the spring, check with the touring de- partments of gasoline companies or motor clubs to make sure that spring floods have not washed out bridges or sections of roadway along your route. This precaution may save you long detours, delays of several days, or other serious and costly inconvenience.

Naugatuck, Feb. 2o-Indicati ations at present are the appointment of fire chief may not be made at the March meeting of the board of war; den and burgesses. Tuesday night.
 The matter is likely to be discuss ed but reports have 1t that some of the burgesses may each support a separate candidate. Whether enough of these will act in this manner so that no clear majority is given re- mains to be seen.
 There is also speculation as to who might be the comprise" candidate in case of tie. Many rumors about the appointment are being heard but it seems probable that only the vote on the matter will show whether or not the rumors are true.
 The fact that the appointment is a ''hot potato" as far as the burgesses are concerned, that is, they are being beseiged from all sides by requests for support, may make them desirious of settling the matter quickly and if such is the case. the appointment may be made Tuesday.
 After the death of Police Chief John A. Adamson, the board post poned action for many months on filling the vacancy. A somewhat similar situation exists now, only there are probably more candidates for the fire chiefs office than there were for the police chief job. Whether similar postponement will result remains to be seen.
 Donations Received
 At the Woman'S Auxiliary meet ing at St. Michael's Parish House yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Frederick w. Stahl announced that $92 has been received toward the Lenten box to be sent to Rev. Hector w. Thompson, head of St. Michael's Mission at Ethete, Wyoming.

Mrs. Stahl stated that those wishing to take their part in this annual missionary gift, may send their donations to her or to Mrs. Augusta Barwick treasurer.

Walls banked with orchids, verit- able fortunes in flowers, islands filled with native wild flowers and shadowed with the golden bloom of acacias from Australia, rose gar. deus, ledge gardens, brooks, water falls and fountains, the 69th New England Spring Flower Show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, March II through 16, Mechanics Building, Boston, will provide a feast of beauty for winter-Starved gardeners and flower lovers.
 But, this year, beauty is being matched by solid and practical gar- dening demonstrations. New Eng land has become the garden center of America and, in response to the demand from amateur gardeners for instruction and information, the show is devoting acres to helping everyone, whether 1t be 8 window box, a backyard or an entire estate.
 New Flowers
 For example, New England wants to see the new flowers of 194O. The Show has them all, not cut blooms in vases, but living gardens. actually growing and blooming just as they will do next July and August,
 Roses are another flower beconi- ing ever more popular. The Society not only has a rose garden bright with outdoor varieties but also is staging two complete rose shows Of the best roses of the United States and Canada-one on Monday, the other on Thursday.
 Spring bulbs are another very popular type of garden material. All the new varieties of tulips, narcissi, and daffodils will be on parade. House plant enthusiasts will have their classes and sections also, as will the devotees of amaryllis, cam elias, gardenias, gladioli, begonias, clivias, and so on. Flower arrange mentS staged by the garden clubs will provide every woman with ideas for her own table and party decorations. A dozen complete gar- dens will present ideas and plans to fill all sites and pocketbooks.
 And, a final example, the new garden chemical will be on parade. For instance, an entire greenhouse will be devoted to vegetables and flowers grown without soil and ex- perts of the Waltham Field Station will be on hand to answer all ques- tions about this intriguing form Of horticulture.
 Information Booths
 Gardeners always have questions and problems to anwser. To meet this need, the Society and the Gar den Clubs are each maintaining booths at which all garden ques- tions will be freely answered with out charge or obligation. Experts
