 of Flood Bridge Road where the drains are clOgged, the brook runs in the middle of the road, and people have to wear creepers or stay home.
 Drainage is not a difficult prob lem. Water runs downhill, whe- ther you are an engineer or hay jerk road-builder. Cutters will carry water downhill and catch basins will take it below the sur- face. All of these facts should be printed large on the articles by which we taxpayers pass over our destiny and welfare to the town servants we employ to keep our highways safe for traffic. And when a town boss is called on the, telephone and advised of a haz- ardous condition, that condition should be improved immediately and without excuses.
 The Flood Bridge Road hazard will cost the township heavy dough, one day. Citizens who have to pass that way, people who pa- tr0nize our library, folks who try to turn into Widows Lane with out turning completely around will endorse this column in our statement that no such condition would be tolerated in a civilized community. There are many votes up that valley. Folks up that way pay hea.y ta1sA Yet when one o1 our town officials drove up there the other day, her life and limbs were endangered and the tele-

OBSERVERS RELAX. INVASION IS OVER
Aerial Blitzkrieg Officially Ends-Brass City Re-
 ported in Ruins

The mock aerial blitzkrieg in Con- nect1cut came to an official end yes- terday at 6 p. m., and volunteers Who stood watch for the four-day period agreed in general they had a nice time while it lasted, but are glad it's all over with.
 Most of the human eve" ob- servers took the jobs for the pos- sible thrill, perhaps hoping to get some inside information. House wives got g "kick" out of seeing the multl-motored planes zooming over head.
 Women seemed to be the lucky spoilers during the four-day war" yesterday, for example, Miss Ester Bronson at the Wolcott post and Mrs. Wallis J. Inglis at the Hope vile station observed enemy bomb CTS" between 11:10 and 2:1O. Visi- b1llty, as usual, was very poor. En- emy bombers succeeded in flying low over Waterbury rooftops, drop ping bombs" at will.
 Of course no damage was reported but observers who phoned head. quarters got a great big kick out O. saying "Wolcott, or Prospect, ol Waterbury reporting. Enemy plane flying low headed north to Hart ford. That is all."
 No one really complained of tn trials. Some snickered and calle, it so much hog-wash, but most in dividuals agred it was one of tn, finest exhibitions of cooperation be- tween civilians and the army.

viously, the mere idea of Brazil spending it's money on American radio stations to advertise its friendliness for this country is a fact of political, economic, military and hemisphere importance. Brazil is stressing just this friendship, and even if there may be coffee or any, thing else in the background it's still tremendous idea.
 Brazil is doing something Uncle Same never was able to do or smart enough to do namely, buy radio time in the other fellows country to openly, frankly, graciously speak a piece about itself and its hopes for better relations. This Brazilian step is, to say the least, provocative.

 hot with complaints that they nearly melted down.
 South Britain has enough sand to cover almost any ice that might be found on any road in western Connecticut, but the town officials are loath to sprinkle any on the paved portion of Flood Bridge Road. We see elderly ladies, young men, school children, and tax as- seSSors go into frantic skids there almost every day. If we could have a motion picture of the traffic trying to get through that road any day, we could sell the comedy rights for enough to en- dow a decent road program for this township.
 Mrs. KozeneSki has subscribed to the Waterbury Democrat be- cause she wants to read an un- biased account of what goes on in South Britain. She quit reading a rival paper because it did not print thet facts. Mrs. K0zenski knows enough about the condition of roads in her end of town. She has four votes in her household.
 Mrs. Carrie Manville, one-time stage driver, dairy woman, alert and active citizen, reads The Democrat every day. Mrs. Man. vile owns a car that she can hardly get out of Flood Bridge Road without a tackle block be- cause of the ice. We'd like to see her in town more often. She has many relatives and friends who also vote.
 That's the way it tallies all along the lower end of town. Honest and substantial citizens are deprived of the opportunity to associate with their friends and neighbors because there is no sand and no real gutter on Flood Bridge Road. That they continue to pay taxes and go to church regularly is ample proof of their solid character and their goat-like ability to negotiate tough sledding.
 Wood thieves are again oper- ating on overtime schedule at Pennsylvania and on the ridge above Paradise. MT. King and MT. Green have both lost cordwood. A few beartraps, properly placed, might make up for our lack oS law enforcement. The law forbids the use of spring guns in Con- necticut.

Dozens of women were rejected as jurors, and though the pres ent panel includes three of them, there is feeling that the girls are going to regret being on the panel. All this because of the promised gruesome details.

The accused is being tried at the present trial for the one murder, of MT. Beall. At the time of the second indictment by grand jury shortly after Mrs. Beall died at St. Mary's hospital Assistant De- fense Attorney William w. Ga- ger requested separate trial for his client in the second indictment. This was granted by Judge Robert L. Baldwin.

Would Prevent Ace Foe
From Tying His Record
Of Two Eastern Titles

Whether Sol Schiff, former king
of Americas table tennis players, is
able to avenge himself Of his bitter
est 1910 defeat or whether Lou Pag-

one of Schiff's proudest records Is
probably the most noteworthy angle
of the Eastern tournament starting

In all the seven-year history OF
the Eastern, second In importance
only to the national. Schiff is the
only man who has been able to win
the sectional championship twice.
He won the first year 1t was held,
in 1884, and again four years later.
but now Pagliaro has a chance TO
match that accomplishment.
For Paggy, still in his teens, will
be defending champion Of the COM
ing week ends competition and an
odds-on choice against the field to
retain his crown. That is, unless a
man like Schiff can stop him.
There's not much doubt that
they will be seeded one-two. for that
Is the way they rank nationally.
Last year, Pagliaro used the same
tournament as the starting point for
the rise which carried him to the
national championship two months
later: indeed. he has not been de-
feated since But even in losing,
Schiff forced the young usurper to
five bitterly-fought games, Paggy
winning only after such scores as
21-11, 14-21, 1871, 25-23, ALB.
