 In anticipation of heavy trafic over the weekend, etxra traff1c en- forcement vii be necessary on the part of all patrol officers with the hope of reducing fatalities and per- Sonal injuries, Edward J. Hickey, Commissioner of State Police, warns the public in 8 bulletin issued this morning.
 Consr. Hickey said every member of the department will be available for service and on duty, including recruits from the Training School, for the weekend holiday.
 The commissioner cautions that police officers should be instructed to take proper and reasonable pre- cautions to prevent unnecessary tie- ups. He points out that restrictions on sale of gasoline after FOO p. m. may be the cause of extreme traffic congestion during late afternoon periods.
 Time Killers
 Cruisers" as well as "one-armed'' drivers and time killing" operators, Comsr, Hickey explains, are a men, ace upon the trunk highways during heavy traffic hours, adding patrol officers will take necessary action in such cases during the peak traffic hours to permit reasonably moving traffic to obtain the right of way over such operators. Proper enforce ment, he adds, in> this instance, will reduce cutting in and out of line and tend to keep speeding at a minimum.
 Particular places were stressed by Comsr. Hickey which he said were at dangerous intersections on the heavily traveled trunk hnes-Mil- ford Turnpike, Saybrooke Bridge, Groton Bridge, East Hartford at the junction of Routes and IS, in Portland at the junction of Routes 6 and IS, and on shore line along Route l east of Saybrook.
 State police officers will be aS- signed to stationary traffic posts and these officers wil be equipped with new traffic stands. Each officer will be protected after dark with an overhead spotlight.
 Comsr, Hickey said radio an- nouncements as to trafic conditions will be made over all Connecticut stations starting at 500 p. m. and continuing until traf1c congestion has abated.
 He said that enforcement is me- ceSsary to traffic control and there fore every state policeman is ex- pected to do his share in keeping traffic moving sanely, safely, and lawfully.

The United States Department
of Agriculture has under way q

eggs, designed to meet a new need
for accurate standards, for better
methods of manufacture, storage
and shipment, and for directions
for using dried eggs In home
cooking.
Until the present emergency
demand for food in its most con-
centrated form. as a means OF
saving shipping space, arose, the
United States had never dried
more than 100000 pounds OF
eggs in one year. Now it is dry

Grasp Happiness
It's Not Gift, It's Homemade Product
BY Dorothy Dir

Can We make ourselves
happy?" a woman asks. Surely.
Happiness is a homemade
product and, if We ever have any.
we have to make it for ourselves.
No one can hand it to us as a
gift. No assemblage of auspicious
circumstances can assure it. No
amount of money can buy it. for
it is not for sale over the counter.
We have TO roll our own. and the
recipe for doing that is as simple
as the one for making a cup
cake, We have to begin by hav-
ing the will to be happy We have
to be determined to be happy,
come hell or high water We must
quit thinking about happiness
as a matter of luck that may
happen to us or may not, and
that 1t depends upon all The

eggs will be geared up to such
high production levels that, by
operating only in the spring
months they can supply all the
commercial needs of the United
States and have some left over
for home use, if there is such a
demand.
When the department was
called on last spring to supply
dried eggs as one of the foods
capable of satisfying the nutri-
tional needs of the British. there
were no Federal quality stand
ards for this product. Accord
ingly, buying specifications were
developed as fast as possible.
These included such measuring
sticks as appearance. odor and
taste of the dried product, as well
as solids content and fat per-
centages determined by labora-
tory tests. The new specifica-
tlons, though a definite step
toward assuring good quality
product, were only preliminary
to more precise standards, now
being worked out by the depart
ment, in cooperation with the
industry.
Department chemists and bac-
teriologists have begun scien-
tific exploration of the facts on
which such standards can be
based and from which methods
for making an even better dried
egg product may be developed.

1.-The brave attitude toward life
We must have the courage and
common sense to eliminate the
needless irritations that get upon
our nerves in our daily lives, if it
can be done.
If this is impossible. We should
accept them and forget about
them. When We quit kicking
against the irritations, half of
the pain is gone. In a word, we
should quit worrying over the
things that we can help and those
that we can't help. We should do
something about them, or let
them ride, and when we do that
We can find the peace that passes
all understanding.
And, finally, If we would be
happy, We must find happiness in
little things. After all, there are
few great moments in the life
of any one. For most of us the
trumpets never blare at all. We
have no great adventures, our
pulses never thrill to any su-
preme emotion, but for us there
is always the song of birds, the
glory of the sunrise, a good din

Scientific Tests on Dried Eggs Noe Under Way

pies of eggs dried in different
ways and stored under different
conditions and for varying peri
ods of time. The results Of these
studies, it is hoped, will answer
such questions as how long will
dried eggs keep and what are the
ideal conditions Of temperature
and humidity for their storage.
Although housewives the world
over seem generally to prefer to
do their own egg breaking. many
British women now face the al
tentative of using dried whole
egg or depriving their families of
a popular and nutritious food. To
facilitate a shift from shell to
dried eggs In home kitchens.
department home economists
have made many laboratory
tests on cooking with dried eggs.
They find that two level table
spoonfuls of dried whole egg, plus
two level tablespoonfuls of water
or milk, is equivalent to one shell
egg. Substituting this quantity
in recipes calling for eggs, they
have made omelettes, scrambled
eggs, custards, cookies, cakes and
other dishes that look and taste
like those made from eggs broken
from their shells on the spot.
When restored to their original
moisture content, dried eggs. like
shell eggs, furnish excellent quail
ity proteins and are rich source
of iron and phosphorus and a
good source of calcium in the diet.

Before We start to consider
more ways in which you can help
in the work of civilian defense,
let us say right here and now
that the work you have done
already is not unappreciated.
And the girls who, after tipping
and filing all day, go to the de-
fense Offices for more typing and
filing at night are showing a sort
of generosity and cooperation
that could be emulated to advan-
tage by others. We know OF one
girl who even called off a party
when her services were requested
that very afternoon. These girls
have what it takes" but We sort
of feel that there are many others
who could follow in their way.
There are Immediate oppor-
tunities in the police precincts for
girls who have had some office
training. AS everyone knows by
now, the police stations are open
at night for the enrolment OF
men and women for defense work
in their own communities. And
to accomplish the task of classi-
fication with a minimum of lost
time, telephone operators, recep-
tionists, registrars and typists are
needed. When the local area
headquarters are set up and go
into action even more OF these
jobs will be open. So get your
name on the register now and If
you aren't called Immediately
there will be plenty of work for
YOU to do in the future.
First aid is one very important
phase of civilian defense work
that cannot be overlooked. The
training course requires time
and hard work and perhaps your
knowledge will never be used but
that doesn't lessen its importance
one iota. Put your name on the
register at the Red Cross head
quarters right away or if you hear
of someone in your Office or COM
munity that is going to give the
course get in touch with him.
You should be just as well pre-
pared to give first aid as the next
person; it is not Job that can
be taken care of by a few since
no one knows where 1t will be
needed or how frequently. At
the present time we don't like to

large scale will ever be neces-
sary but it's time to stop playing
ostrich!
And by way Of exploding the
Idea that since you have already
taken the course you need no
further instruction, let's consider
two facts. The first one is that
the Red Cross flrst-aid course
has changed radically since the
present war began. Treatment
of injury resulting from the
methods of modern warfare take
up a large and important part
of the new training. The second
fact is that there is crying need
for instructors and anyone who
has kept up with the work is
obligated to offer her services as
q teacher or lecturer. Vast num-
bers of people cannot be trained
in this field If there is a dearth
of instructors and their training
Is of vital consequence.

OF Knitters as Well
AS Any Other Guest
Br Emily Post

knowing of the urgent plea
made for knitted garments by
the Red Cross and other organ
izations. I do not want to give
the impression that knitting is
not entirely proper at all times
and places. And yet, because of
many readers who ask me why
I never say a word in protest
against knitting marathonS car
ried beyond the limits of good
reason, I do think it is perhaps
necessary to give some idea of
what might be considered rea-
sonable.
It would surely be reasonable
to expect knitters to follow the
rules that are observed by cour-
teouS smokers in the houses of
non-smokers. which is to ask.
DO you mind if I knit?" If
one is merely sitting in a general
group. one persons knitting
hardly could be annoying to any
one. But when one is having a
short conversation - especially
with visitor in ones own house
one should not knit.
But since the reason why knit
ting is considered by many to be
rude is that it distracts the knit
ter's attention, the important
question to ask is how much at
tention one has to pay to ones
stitches. The many who can
read and knit can be supposed
to be able to talk and listen and
knit! Every now and then I get
protests from lecturers who
greatly mind the disturbing mo-
tlons made by the countless
needles of a knitting audience.
But since the one very best op-
portunity to knit or to crochet
is while listening to a lecturer
or to music. or to some one read
ing, nervous lecturer, it seems
to me, must make his own re-
quest for quiet hands" He
does this moreover, at the risk
of exchanging an appreciable
number of busy hands for vacant
seats.
