MERRY-GO-ROUND

The next time you feel like blow ing up over the telephone service, keep your shirt on. It may get a lot worse. If the copper shortage continues, long distance calls may even be rationed; that is, restricted to certain hours. Plans are also being considered to convert private lines to four-party lines under cer- tain circumstances. Other city chiefs can take a leaf from smart, hustling Mayor Jesse Pavey of South Bend, Ind, in wangling defense and public works projects. Pavey sees the right officials in Washington, gets lot of juicy plums for his town-without any fanfare or any expense. In the six years of its existence, the National Youth Ad- ministration has given training to approximately 100000 unemployed youngsters.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 25

IOESDA NOVEMbEh 70
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today There is a threatening sign affecting labor and it may cause an untoward incident in the way of violence
 HEART AND HOME: Nerve strain may be apparent in the average household while this con figuration prevails This is day to use the hands and to avoid thinking, for mental depression is encouraged by this rule of the stars. Students may be restless and the inclination to leave college for the great adventure of war may cause anxiety in the home. Resent ment against the widening circle of necessary war restrictions should be overcome and sacrifices should be made cheerfully.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: It will be remembered that financial reforms long have been predicted. The grouping of planets in Taurus, the money sign, in which Uranus, planet of change was present, caused the prognostication of pro bable readjustments. Uranus left Taurus last August, turned retro grade and returned to the money sign where it will remain until next May. From the Mars conjunc- tion Uranus in 1886 and lasting until September, l943, the end of one era and the beginning of an- other will take place. This period of world revolution has Uranus as the ruling planet.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: All who are possessed of foresight glimpse a better world after the dreadful world war purge Astrologers fore see a falling away of material values and recognition of the spiritual forces of humanity. Through supreme suffering there is to be turning toward nobler ideals. Amazing development in the realm of occultism is prophesied as the veil hiding the next plane of existence becomes transparent for many who have developed their phychic powers.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: :: It has been long foretold that the United States must pay the toll of blood as it pursues its course of fighting for democracy. Threat ening portents are discerned for the Navy which may lose ships be- fore the end of the year. Empha- sis is put upon the fact that the Allies must encounter severe tests as winter adds to the hazards of war. Our course of action will be determined by Britain and confus- ing events are indicated.
 \ Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of mixed experiences which include troubles through employers or elderly mem bers of the family. Happy issue from difficulties is forecast.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have eventful careers They will be strong mentally, but should watch their health.

Naugatuck, Nov. 6 e- Coroner William B. Hennessey of Water bury was making a further inves- tigation this morning Into the death of Ernest Morton Smith, 79, of Prospect street, who was killed in a motor vehicle accident near his home last night shortly after 6 o'clock.
 Two drivers were reported in- volved and word had not yet been received from the coroner this morning as to which of the two was believed to be to blame for the accident in which MT. Smith was instantly killed as he was crossing the street.
 The drivers, Edward Urbanivich of ll7 Clover street, Waterbury, and Lawrence Koenig of 236 Milli- cent avenue. Buffalo, N. Y., were released under bonds late last night, Urbanivich, driver of an auto being placed under $i,000 bond and Koenig driver of an auto- carrier truck owned by the Great Lakes Forwarding company of Buffalo, N. F., being released under bond of $500.
 According to the stories told by the men, the auto and truck were travelling east on Prospect street with the truck being q short diS- tance in back of the car. urbani- vich said when he first saw, Smith he was about l5 feet away and Smith was about in the middle of the road. Urbanivich asserted he swerved his care to the right to avoid hitting Smith and in so do- ing, crashed into Q cable fence post and Q telephone pole. He con- tended his car did not touch Smith.
 Pauline Raxer of Pearl Lake road, Waterbury, suffered a minor leg injury when Urbanivich's auto hit the pole as she was 8 passen. ger in this auto. The other pas- senger was Mildred Thomas of Foley street, Waterbury. Both girls and Urbanivich work at the Free Motors. Inc, Union City and Ur- banivich said he was taking the girls to their homes.
 Coroner Hennessey said that there was indication from early testimony of witnesses that Smith might have been hit by the Water bury car before the truck arrived, but it was also possible, he said, that Smith may have become ex- cited when the car swerved to the right and he may have fallen to the ground. One witness had re- ported Smith in 8 sitting position on the road when the truck came upon him, the coroner said.
 Urbanivich said 1t was misty at the time and he was not able to see Smith until about IS feet away because Smith was attired in dark clothes. The accident happened at a stone bridge on Prospect street and Smith was apparently cross. ing the street from north to the south side. His head was crushed and a leg broken in the accident. police said.
