Newspaper Publicity
 Aid Police Campaign
Superintendent ROach Aides Speak at Worcester
 Police Traffic FOrum-Success Explained

The Worcester, (Mass.) Telegram Wednesday carried the following report of trafflc safety talks given by four members of the Waterbury police department at Worcester police headquarters Tuesday.
 "A highway safety campaign can- not succeed without persistent news paper publicity to educate the pub- lie, Police Supt. William J. Roach of Waterbury, Conn.,, said yesterday at the weekly traflc forum of Wor- cester police department. Chief Foley presided.
 other speakers from Waterbury were: Captain William J. Duggan in charge of the traffic motor patrol, Patrolman William Dwyer, in charge of school safety work, and Patrol. man James Little, in charge of pub- licity and public relations on the Waterbury safety drive.
 "Patrolman Little, who became a policeman after completing an en- gineering task for the department, told of the campaign to obtain com plete public cooperation. This in- cluded speaking by policemen on radio and before clubs and church groups, instructions to policemen or, courtesy and wide newspaper pub- licity.
 Waterbury, 6 pioneer in safety work, had to overcome special prob. lems.
 waterbury lies in the bottom ot a saucer" Superintendent Roach said. "The two main streets eros at Exchange Place and although traffic must go through this inter- section. There is no by.pass and no parallel streets. The streets all run at odd angles and there is moi one perfect intersection iri the city There were two strikes on us before we started.
 Traffic safety Is strictly an edu- cational proposition. No campaign can succeed without newspaper publicity"
 Captain Duggan told of the Wa terbtlry system, under which every accident, however small, is investi- gated. Blame is placed by police, ii possible, and all information is filed for later study" He said written statements were obtained at the scene from all persons concerned.
 Wallace A. Ockerbloom, chair man of the special project commit tee of the citizens traflc safety committee, spoke briefly. He .said police here have obtained complete cooperation of the public in their

result of a joint proposal by the Canadian Legion and the Canadian Association for Adult Education, the plan has been eagerly accepted by soldiers, young and old, as a means of keeping pace with changing civil world.
 At the outset 1t was planned to limit the program to lecture courses and selected reading. But 1t has met with such enthusiasm that a correspondence course which will follow the men even into the front lines is understood to be ul- der consideration.
 Will Avert Slump
 Its value as an aid to civil re- establishment after peace has been won is considered to be in- estimable. It will provide an op- portunity for the young men of the army, whose educations were interrupted by the advent of war, to maintain their academic stand ing while doing their bit for the Empire.
 As an indication of the popularity of the plant 1t was revealed by f1g- ures here that as much as 20 per cent of the enlisted personnel in cer- tain districts have signed Up for courses in conversational French and German.
 At the outset difficulties were en- countered in fitting the courses to the sudden moves of students from one training area to another. That has been overcome now by a system of academic credit cards which per- mits soldier to take up his studies at his new training place where he left off at the old.
 Universities Lend Aid
 Throughout the country univer- sities have swung solidly behind the program. Several of them are cooperating in tlie drafting of standard rnatrculation course for the army which will be recognized in all parts of Canada. If the war lasts long enough the Canadian Army will be turning out Bache- lors of Arts as well as top-notch fighting men.

been asking Maestri some embarras- sing questions about refusal of of- ficisls to open certain public books and records. Mayor Maestri an- swered graphically MT. Airey isn't there"
 Presently New Orleans rocked with laughter. Three men paraded in front of City Hall bearing ban- ners:
 "MR. MAYOR, HAND-BooKs OPEN, CONSERVATION BOOKS CLOSED"
 "MR. MAYOR, HOW ABOUT THEM BOOKS? MIR. AIREY IS THERE, RAYMOND 3522." The Airey telephone number.
 MIR. MAYOR, OIL PROFITS FOR YOU. SALES TAX FOR Us." POLICE JAIL
 TICKETS
 The pickets had been in front of City Hall only g short time when a crowd rushed from the hall, beat up the Reform" pickets, destroyed their banners. Police came--and arrested the picketsl Maestri later guaranteed the right to picket pc litically.
 But questions remain unanswered. Newspapers charged that millions of barrels of "hot oil" have been run out of the Iberia field.
 The chief operator in. the field was an oil company owned by May or Maestri and William George He- is, the extraordinary Greek-born oil man who made enough money from Louisiana oil to go to Greece to exploit national oil monopoly.
 While the campaign has been filled with political innuendo seek ing to connect Maestri with the "hot oil" situation, nothing has been proved, and he remains al- most the only major leader of the old Long machine who has faced no legal entanglements, no formal proceedings or accusations.

He has organized and commanded innumerable camps for British and Foreign Boy Scouts and Boy Scout Troops. in the grounds of French Chateaux, by seashores, in the heart of mountain ranges. and by lovely lakes, far off the beaten track in many lands, earning the grateful recognition from the Boy Scouts International Bureau. He will be introduced by MT. David F. Babson, Boy Scout Executive of Waterbury.

 Church February IS

Beginning next Sunday morning at 1O:3O o'clock, and continuing through the Lenten period, a series of services and sermons on ''The Faith and Action of a Christian Man." will constitute the theme of morning worship in the First Meth odist Church in Waterbury.

"The Central Faith" "The Lordship of Jesus Christ, "The Divine Presence, "The Holy Cath olic Church" "The Worlds Great Altar Stairs, "The Life Eternal are more than beliefs which the mind accepts. They are convictions which make a difference, and that difference will be shown in these services.

Communion addresses will be given on the first Sundays of February and of March. All services will be in charge of the pastor, Rev. Dr. John J. SnaVely.

 New Orleans, Jan. .12--When the Long political machine goes on trial at the Democratic primary Jan. l6, the political fate of strange, power- full Robert Sidney Maestri also will be decided.
 Maestri isn't running for any, thing-he never has-but he is the issue of this campaign. He is the mayor of New Orleans, admitted boss of the Long machine. Earl Long, brother of the late Huey, is his man. If Long should lose the nomination for governor, Maestri's power would be badly shaken.
 Greatest individual property holder in New Orleans, Maestri is one of the richest men in the south. He got into politics when Governor Long named him state conservation commissioner. When Huey starved out the Old Regular party organiza- ton commissioner. When Huey starved out the old Regular party organization in New Orleans and forced the resignation of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, Maestri was named to succeed him.
 MAESTRI TOOK OVER
 LONG MACHINE
 By juggling election dates, the legislature assured him six-year term. And when Governor Leche resigned, MaeStri became the domi- nant figure in the Long machine. Earl Long, hat in hand, long sought Maestris ir1dorSement for the gov- ernorship. At last he got 1t.
 Now Long faces a desperate fight for the nomination.
 Always until now the strong si- lent man behind the scenes who never campaigned or appeared be- fore the public, Maestri was at last forced by the acuteness of the situa. ton to make a radio speech. He read 1t haltingly from manuscript, endorsing Long wholly as his can- didate.
