Parking Fines

A decided decline in the num- Der of parking violators was noticed today when City Court Clerk Albert J. Bronsky figures given us only $29 collected in fines.
 The flow into police headquarters included not only the rank and file but also many of the official in the city who have paid the fine. In the group was city father, clergy man, policeman, factory executives and many others who hold responsi- ble positions.
 The let-up in parking fines was partly attributed to a public be- coming cogniZance of the Parking Signs. In the nine days of the drive, the total of assessments have swelled the city court coffers to $547.

 Educational Program

be increased by such training. Since they are part of the training pro- gram financed by the Federal government, no tuition will be charged. Glasses will begin early in January and will continue for ten or twenty weeks, depending on the type of course.
 Much of the instruction will be given with the cooperation of the New Haven YMCA Junior College which, because of the anture of it's present program and its working relationships with industries is in a peculiarly favorable position to assume responsibility for the oper- ation of these courses.
 Director Lawrence L. Bethel and Claude w. Fawcett of the Junior College have conferred with exc cutives in forty three representative defense industries in this area to determine their needs for intensive engineering courses. The work has been planned to meet the more ur- gent needs revealed by the survey.
 Courses are planned in control of production to train men as assist ants to production managers; fun damentals of metallurgy intended for heat treaterS, laboratory assistants, and other workers needing such knowledge of metals; engineering drawing; the principles of machine design wiht particular reference to the needs of certain industries; tests of materials for inspectors; and welding supervision for skilled Welders in need of specific training to qualify them for dealing with problems in the welding of newer alloys.
 Application for registration in the courses will be made through de- signated representatives in compan- ies engaged in defense work. Regis tration is voluntary on the part of the employees, and applicants will be considered in terms of previous education, work experience, and the recommendation of employers. A personal interview with an admis- sions committee of the Faculty will be required of each applicant. Ap- plications will be received during | the month of December.
 At the present time only evening courses, intended for those now employed in defense industries, are being planned. If it develops that there is 8 need for preservice train ling for employment in defense in- dustries, day courses may be estab- lished for tlris purpose. Laurson em- phasized that the program now an- nounced is not expected to cover all the needs of the defense industries and that further surveys are now in progress for the purpose of de- termining needs for other work. Courses may also be given in otheg cities in southern Connecticut.

GERMANY TO HAVE
 NEAR BEER DRINK

Berlin, Nov. 27.-CUP)-Near beer, made from sugar beets, and non- alcoholic wine derived from toma- toes, are among war time provision drinks" which German scientists are experimenting with. according to the magazine Die Geshundheitsfueh- rung," organ of the Reich health organization. The purpose is to conserve alcohol, badly needed as a feul for automobiles.
 The magazine said non-alcoholic drinks already had been made from tomatoes, black bread, herbs and ginger. and wine manufacturers claim to have succeeded in making a wine from grapes from which all al- coholic content has been extracted without spelling the natural aroma and taste.
 Five new types of beer already are on the market, made from barley and one from sugar beets.
