OLD DOC. YARRICK
SPEAKS HIS mind

It is hard to fasten new name
on an old man.
Don't judge your work by one
mans criticism.
Whoever said woman was the
weaker sex must have been think
ing of silent one.
frightened thoughts are better
than polished pans.
The power of God flows along
our lives like deep majestic river
through the heart of metropolis.
Beware of fear. 1t is the breed
er of many troubles.
A man is always at the mercy of
his own weakness.
The man who talks too much is
as tiresome as an old phonograph
record.
You can generally judge the
character of a proposition by no.
ticing who is backing it.

Radiant Living
HE CAME BACK A
VICTOR
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

On the part of those who speak
lightly of religion it has gotten to
be quite a habit to refer to it dis
paragingly as just another way OF
escape from the realities of life.
These critics even go so far as to
classify religion along with drunk
enness and insanity as lone more
method of initiating the ostrich"
But those who have experience
in matters which pertain to the
spiritual know how completely IN
error such critics are.
We admit that religion is an es-
cape, a glorious escape. Not, how
ever. from the realities of life, but
an escape from those evil forces OF
disbursement and dispair which
otherwise would overcome us.
The escape which religion affords
us is an escape from weakness into
strength. 1t is an escape from
darkness into light. 1t is an escape
from ignorance into a knowledge
of those powers of God that enable
us, as. the Prophet puts it, ito
mount up with wings as eagles, to
run and not be weary, to walk and
not faint"
Drunkenness affords an escape, a
temporary one, from the harsh re-
alities of life. But it is only an in
terlude before a bitter awakening,
an awakening both merciless and
horrible, an awakening in which
the victim finds himself in a situa-
ton even more tragic than that
from which he tried to escape.
Religion, on the other hand, af-
fords an escape unto the noun
tain, the mountain of prayer
upon whose heights you meet and
converse with God and receive
from Him, not only strength to re-
ceive the shocks of life, but also
power to rise vicotriously ovel
them.
This was the experience of the
Christ. When faced by a serious
situation, He went by himself apart
to pray. When He returned, Hi
was master of the situation!
Herein lies the secret of radiant
living. You now possess it. Ust
it, and beome, like the Christ, ;
radiant Victor!

gasoline taxes collected on motor
fuel used in moving food, fuel and
clothing over the highways.
The average motor vehicle in the
United States has an annual bur-
den of federal and state taxes of
about $50, as compared with $50
only a decade ago.
During the depression years of
1888 ten out of every 100 auto
mobiles in the United States were
forced off the highways because
their owners could not afford to run
them. Because the tax burden on
automobiles now is nearly double
what it was in 1880, some econ
omists estimate that postwar
slump might drive 100000 motor
vehicles off the roals in the future.

Served hot, dressed lavishly with
golden melted butter is perhaps
our first thought. But if your taste
runs to more provocative and posi-
tive flavors then enhance asparagus
with gay and edgy sauce that
combines the delicate sharpness Of
pimiento cheese with the rich
mushroom flavor of condensed
cream of mushroom soup. For all
Its flavor, this sauce is easy to
make. This is how it goes. But
first we start with the asparagus:
bunch fresh asparagus
To cook whole, tie loosely in a
bunch, put into rapidly, boiling,
salted water and cook, uncovered,
1920 minutes or until tender. Lift
bunch from kettle, drain, serve hot
stalks arranged parallel with sauce
poured over them.
Mushroom-Pimie Sauce
l can condensed cream of mush-
room soup
Y cup milk
2 ounces pim!ento cheese
Stir the milk into the condensed
cream Of mushroom soup and then
add the pimiento cheese. Heat in
a double boiler until the cheese
melts and then pour over the
asparagus. Serves 6.

Signals Adopted For
 Air Raid Warnings
Several Nearby Communities Included in Waterbury
 District; BurraII Placed in Charge

Boston. The controllers would im- mediately relay the information to the emergency services and to air raid wardens in the various towns within each control centers area. The air raid wardens in turn would notify their deputies and the public.
 Based on tests made during the aircraft warning exercises in Jan uary, special arrangements are be- ing made by the Southern New Eng land Telephone Company to speed the calls to and rom each local de- fense agency. In addition to the usual telephone facilities, there will be colored light signals connected with the telephone circuits in each office.
 Three types of warning will be is- sued, depending on the imminence of attack. The first, or yellow" sig nal, will inform local units that enemy aircraft are headed in their direction Next will be a blue" sig nal, when partial determination of the enemy objective indicates that a particular sector is lkiely to be bombed. The final, or "red" signal, spells immediate danger. Specified local emergency units will be noti- fled at each stage, with the final warning going to the entire popula- ton A fourth or "all clear" sig nal will be issued after the bomb- CTS have passed. The defense coun- cil's plan provides for sending mes- sages by couriers If telephone facil- ities should be disrupted in certain areas.
 Borderline Exceptions
 As In the tests with the Air Warm ing Service last January, eastern Connecticut towns will send reports to and receive warnings from the Boston headquarters, while the vest ern part of the state comes under the New York City headquarters. With some borderline exceptions, Litchfield New Haven and Fairfield Counties fall in the New York City area, and the rest of the state Is as- sociated with Boston.
 The communities III each or the fifteen control districts will be as follows: Torrlngton District: Lake, vile, Salisbury, Canaan, North Ca- naan, Norfolk, Winsted, Winchester, Colebrook, Hartland, Barkhamsted, New Hartford, sharon, Cornwall, Torrington, Goshen, Harwinton, Litchfield and Morris.
