Usually a change like that Is
governed by the organizations

legislative body is bound to pro-

Usually this rule is established
TO prevent mischievous surprise

Editor. The Times: Because of
a mistaken implication of Jeho-

seems appropriate to make clear
the position of the Witnesses,
fully supported by the scriptures,
relative to warfare.

Scriptures defining a Chris

Eph. 2-1s.
For Gods Kingdom he will
fight-John 1886.
He is soldier of Christ Jesus
= Tim. 2S.
These soldiers are not drafted
Psalm 1903
The weapons Of his warfare
are not carnal-2 Cor l0-4.
As TO what the soldier must
offer TO God is quoted from
Rom. 12-l and ~. y beseech

which the conditions do not
supply. II is often said that the
number of old poor men is more
considerable in this country than
IN other countries. You cannot
blame the American people for
such conditions.
Among the millions of immi-
grants landing on our shores.
many do not get married. 1t will
take a few years before the
number of old poor citizens will
be normally reduced. Neverthe-
less. we might do a lot of
things for the benefit of the
poor people. For instance. we
could build millions of comfort
able houses that are badly need
ed. OF course il would be all
right If this could be done. but
how will 1t be done? Suppose
poor man gets substantial aid
from the government to build a
house. and ne is unable to Dor
row the balance needed from the
banks ? II he can save, every
year, money enough to satisfy
the bank. all right. II not,
everybody knows what will hap
pen.
The plan Of building houses
for the poor people is very phil
anthropic and beautiful The
question is how il can be
brought to completion under our
present economic condition of
society. l hope some altruistic
thinker will find rational
means to solve the puzzle.

Good and evil planetary as
poets are strong in their influ-
ence today. Christian faith will
be put to the test AS the powers
of evil appear To be victorious.
Heart and Home: Women are
under benefic sway today which
should be fortunate for their
public work along philsnthropie
lines. The stars presase need of
sustaining courage in meeting
changed conditions affecting the
family as well as the state. The
seers recommend systematic
form OF giving among persons
who are possessors of average
incomes. This is an suspicious
date for young folk interested in
romance.
International Affairs: Pro-
tracted conflict is prognosti-
Gated. despite the handicaps of
winter weather. although war
will take on surprising phases.
II will be remembered that for
more than two years astrologers
have emphasized the element Of
surprise in world affairs. A
Nazi coup is to be Illuminating
TO Uncle Sam.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury Of a year of
contentment. Gain through ar
tistic pursuits is forecast for
women.
Children born on this day may
have too much faith in human
nature for their own good but
they will be gifted in many
ways. especially in artistic pur-
suits.

Now that honeymoon and vaca-
ton trips are over, the seasons
brides face the problem of dOubl-
ing as glamour girls and chief
cooks. Even beginners in the cul-
mary arts can manage to prepare
delicious man-sized meals without
running their manicures or skimp-
ing on before-dinner beauty treat
ments that put sparkle in the eyes.
The labor-saving trick is to build
menus around quickfrOzen foods.
All the tedious tasks of cleaning
and preparing fruits, vegetables,
fish and meats are done before
their fresh flavor is sealed in by
Arctic cold Quick frozen delicacies
arrive ready to cook or serve, so
dinner preparation time is cut in
half and the chief cook can per-
serve a glamour-girl style mani
cure. These time savers are easy
on budgets too, because there's no
waste. The chief cook can plan
menus without regard for geOgra-
ply or the seasons.
Here are some dependable hus-
band pleasures that are easy for
beginner cooks to prepare to per-
lection.

Fire shortly before 2 o'clock this morning wrecked the apartment of Maurice Chevre in a three-family house at 17-19 Stiles street, running the parlor and living room. The cause of the fire was apparently due to defective wiring reported Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion. When the fire broke out, MT. and Mrs. Chevre with their two children were in bed.
 Engine 4, Baldwin street station, Engine 10, Headquarters station and Truck 3, from East Main street with booster from headquarters answered the alarm from Box 59, making fast progress in getting to the scene of the fire although the condition of the road was slippery due to the snow storm.
 During the day firemen extin- guished two brush, and two automo- bile fires and a false alarm was also answered. A broken gasoline pipe caused the fire in an automobile, the fire marshal'S office reported The automobile is owned by Albert Guerrera of Waterbury. Damage to the car was slight. >l
 Another fire started in the interior Of a dump truck owned by James Goodson of 68 Vine street yesterday noon. The cause was put to a discarded cigaret butt. Fire men quickly extinguished the blaze.
