The Air Raid Warden Why We Need Air Raid Wardens in Connecticut

frightened. When we have real leaders among us whom we respect we follow their example or orders and are steadied by their calmneS and courage.
 Air raid wardens are selected be- cause of their leadership, training and knowledge of what to do Somebody must know how to han dle live incendiary bombs, high ex- plosive hazards, and what to do to give and get assistance.
 Tn England there are l,200,000 air raid wardens, or one for every ten people in the centers of popula- ton. One out of every five war dens are thoroughly trained and are in sense, although volunteers, professional wardens, They must work 48 hours Q week in addition to their regular jobs. When such wardens are on the job, 1t has been found that there Is great reduction in property damage and in the saving of life. In Coventry, the air raid warden organization was highly trained and efficient, and took control from the first dropping of the first bombs. Peo- pie were not frightened and only 400 were killed in the most devas- tating attack yet known.
 The air raid warden has been described as general practi- tioner," the family doctor who diagnoses the trouble during an air raid and sends the patients to the proper specialists. He sends mes sages to the police, fire, health, medical, engineering and other de- partments telling them of what Is to be done, how much, how soon and in few brief words describes the situation. He is the leader, he must get all available help, till the special services arrive, or until the regular civil authorities take over.
 The average citizen must realize that while the greatest danger is from fear and panic, the greatest misconception is that the regular public authorities (police, fife, re- pair, health) can handle the situa- ton. Good as such departments may be they cannot possibly handle five or six hundred vicious fires all started within five minutes, unless they have the assistance of an effi- cient air raid warden system, and public trained and informed as to what to expect.
 And that's why air raid wardens are worth having here in Connecti- cut, even if our chances of ever actually needing them in air raids are only five in hundred. It Is better to be safely insured ard pre- pared against possible trouble than to suffer and be sorry if it &C., tllally comes.

CROTON SCHOOL
 BATTLE MAY END
School Authorities Believe
 Govt. Will Approve Grant | of $5S2,OOO

Groton, Conn, Sept. O. (U.P)- Groton school authorities today ex- pected federal officials to approve a special grant of $582,000 to the com munity for school-building purposes before the end of the week, thus ending a controversy over whether children of Navy families should be permitted to enter local schools
 Local education officials refused to admit 75 children to schools yes- terday because their families were not permanent residents, and, in addition, because no facilities were available to accommodate them.
 The towns refusal to take in children of Navy families because of the additional expense burden to local taxpayers was made despite a ruling by state education authorities that the action was illegal.
 State Education Commissioner Alonzo c. Grace informed Washing ton of latest developments and re- ceived assurances, 1t was said, that action on the request for $582 900 in federal funds should be taken this week.
 Superintendent of Schools s. B. Butler said "Groton is ready to meet it's responsibilities just as soon as it has some assurance that the fed- eral government agencies concerned will meet their responsibilities to Groton."
 Butler promised to prived tempo rary accommodations for Navy mems children as soon as the fed- eral funds were available.

When the lunch Is brought from home, there is often danger that this will consist of sandwiches only and these without nourishing filling Sandwiches of cheese, fish, meat or eggs are hearty and satisfactory for part of the lunch but these should be supplemented by fruit or @ raw vegetable and milk.

JUDGE DECLINES
 TO INSPECT GAR
Counsel Suggests Checkup to DisprOve Noise Re-
 port; Client Fined

A request that his motion be en- tered before a verdict was rendered by Judge T. E. Conway in munich pal court today was made by De- fense Attorney Lawrence Matzkin in asking a discharge for Shefky Baker, A, of 56 Center street charged with reckless driving and evading responsibility.
 Judge Conway found the accused guilty and imposed a $50 fine with out cost on the evasion count and fined him $25 and costs on the feck- less driving charge after denying the motion of Attorney Matzkin.
 Jude Conway stated the time in- tervening since Baker took his car from the police station yard until this morning would be ample op- portunity to make repairs to the damaged part and consequently the motion advanced by the accused att torney would have to be turned down.
 The survey of the car to deter mine If the crash which the com blaming witness, Antonio Gentilozzi, %, of Lakeside boulevard testified was such that terrific noise" was made. Attorney Matzkin wanted to show to the court that the damage to Bakers automobile was such that only e slight noise could have been made because there was only a scraping mark on Bakers car.
 Judge Conway declined the ir- vitation to leave his bench to make the inspection because the car was in the possession of accused since yesterday afternoon and afforded him time to make repairs.
 Baker professed on the witness stand he did not realize he was in an accident until he was motioned by Patrolman Joseph Collins at Ex- change Place to stop. When he was informed of the accident, he testi- fled he showed surprise.
 The defense counsel asked his client to describe his route with his car after leaving Suozzos restau- rant on Bank street where he Is employed as chef.
 Baker said he was on the way to zuzzos home to bid his employers son farewell because he was leaving for the military service. He said he arrived at the home but found that they had all gone out and that he drove downtown with the in- tention of bringing the car back and then walking home.
 Gentilozzi said that he and Pa- trolman Joseph Collins went in pur- suit of Baker after he crashed into the roar of his car.
