 An onlooker would almost fee themselves transported to one oi the larger stores toy department during the Xmas rush when chil- dren from the smallest to the larg. CT ones, who only go to the stores to watch the enjoyment of the lit- tie ones, all seem to get together with toys their main interest. And the toys are in such wonderful condition-they really look new.
 The Playcenter is sponsored by the w. F. A. and is under the su- pervision of Mrs. G. Scott-assisk. ed b Katherine Hurley as registra- tion clerk, Mrs. Isabella Holmes and Mrs. Jane Hickcox, who helr the children with the playing oi games and songs.

It was a big disappointment t the businessmen on lower Baldwin street to think the block-dance which was scheduled to take plac, last evening at the opening of tn, Baldwin Street bridge, had to b. postponed on account of the weath CT. These stores have found them selves doing business all during tn, summer practically at a loss, ant without a doubt, the block -danc would have been the means of giv @2g them 2 nice little profit for on, evening. As 1t was, the street wa! crowded with people, a great man! of them waiting for the block dance and did not know 1t had been callet of.

 It seems strange that the peopl, living in the neighborhod of tn, bridge did not see ot 1t that a fit ting ceremony for its opening dis not take place.

Politics
 -in- Passing
ny RAYMOND J.FTTzPATRICK J.

The small town elections of this waek showed no major politlcal trend except that the voters aren't very much interested in politics these days. Voting in almost all the I45 communities where elections were held Monday and Tuesday was exceptionally light.
 A remarkable feature was the ex- tremely small number of absentee ballots received from soldiers now in camp. only few. score such bal lots being received in the entire state. In western Connecticut the absentee ballots numbered but a handful. of course many Connecti- cut troops were either on field r1aneuvers or their way back from them in the period before election and had little time to think about home town elections. For another thing. party leaders in small towns undoubtedly believed that the sol dier vote wouldn't have any great effect and didn't make too much of an effort to see that the troops got applications for absentee bal lots.

The city elections next month win give a better idea of whether the passage of the legislative act allowing soldiers to vote in their home elections was a waste of time. The well-knit organizations in the cities will see to 1t that virtually all soldiers on their vot- ing lists are reminded of the elec- tiOns and are sent applications for ballots.

Neither major party, no matter how devious it's reasoning, can claim that the vote in this weeks elec- tions indicated a turn in its favor. The Republicans held on to their control in an overwhelming major tty of the towns and managed to oust the Democrats in several more, notably Bristol. However, the Re- publican vote in most towns was less than 1t has been in previous years and there was no great en- thusiastic rally to the banners of the COP.
 The Democrats can hardly crow, though they increased their margin in several towns and established a record plurality for a city election in Torrington.

 The odds are that the present mayors of Waterbury, Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven will be re- elected. With the exception of Mayor McLevy of Bridgeport, all are Democrats.
 The Waterbury campaign is still in the warm-up stage. and the Re- publicanS are casting about for specific issues on which to battle. They are a little leery of going all- out for pay increases for city eifl- ployes but probably will seek to make capital of this issue In as dis erect a way as possible. The Re- publican candidate, ex-Mayor Pat rick M. Perriello personally appears to favor a campaign based on a comparison of his record during four months in office and that of Mayor Vincent A. Scully during al- most two years in office but he will find 1t difficult to get the voters to go back two years.
 One thing you can depend on. Mir. Perriello will wage an aggres- sive, two-fisted campaign right down to the last minute. He won't quit; he'll keep hammering away with whatever ammunition he has However. he faces the difficult task of arousing voters who seem for the most part apathetic.
 Mayor Scully obviously doesn't plan to sit still. either, and he has the advantage of a more smoothly ftinctioning organization behind him.
 In Bridgeport 1t just seems a question of what size plurality Mayor McLevy and his Socialist ticket will pile up. The Demo- Grats are putting on a three ring circus of futility, leaders fighting one another for control of the party rather than joining their forces to battle the administra- eion. The Republicans have been playing . game of hlde-and seek with their nomination for mayor, giving it to one candidate. then taking 1t away. While the Bridge sort voters snlcker att he antics of the Democrats and Republi- can they're ready to vote for Jasper, whereas well organized Op- position, started early enough, might have given the Great Man 0 real contest this year. Jasper's peRfOrmance at the General As- ecmbIy could hardly be defended too strongly unless the tongue is placed far back In the cheek.

As most observers believed be- fore the town elections, they were simply contests on local issues, with state and ntaional issues not figuring importantly in any way.

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, there is an attempt made
every week by the writer Of this col
umn to take humorous view of life.
There is an old couplet which reads:
"a little humor, now and then,
Ia relished by the best of men,"
OF course, there is often very
doubtful success attending the efforts
Of the scribe hirps." His humor
Is very frequently strained. If there
ia any virtue in many of his "blurbs,"
It is seen, probably, by himself alone.
His failures are manifold and oft re-
curing, and everybody knows that
something intended to be funny and
isn't. is amusing only from the stand
Doint of being laughed "at"-it's the
worst "flop" in any sort of literary
venture.
Just at this time, it is increasingly
difficult to direct ones mind into
channels of lighter veins, when seek
ing to provide copy for this weekly
Cor weakly column. There have been
events Of too solemn character hurl-
ed into American life, to be other
than sober in all our doings. Now is
the time of one of the most important
Christian festivals; a period celebra-
ting the birth of Him who heralded'
'Peace upon earth and goodwill to
men" and the nations of this world
are locked into such deadly embrace
OF war, as to put all former upheavals
INTO the background, as minor strug-
giles among men.
The air is charged with thunder
bolts that put to shame anything con-
ceiyed by the NEUROLOGICAL Jove, or
any that could have been forged by
h;e master-workman, Vulcan. The
sea is crowded with steel craft that
beIch forth death-dealing missiles OF
destruction, that would have swept
the navies of Greece and Rome off
the waters at a simple blast. Under
the waves there are sneaking, hidden,
horrors Of navigation which the IA
hIed god of the seas, Neptune, could
never have controlled, and which the
vivid imagination of a Jules Verne
failed to envisage in his widest crea-
tive flights. On the land, mechanical
genius has turned into a veritable
iuggernaut of war vehicle original
" intended to till the soil and make
it produce for the happiness and
wealth of mankind. Instead of being
mans servant, it is his destroyer, and
armies are ground to powder, as it
were, by the blood-thirsty tank.

individuals. Treaties are but scraps
of paper, when they stand in the way
of advancing armies. Laws regula-
ting international warfare are abso-
lutely worthless when the lust for
contest controls the hearts and minds
of irresponsible rulers. There is no
such thing as a declaration of war.
A nation now emulates the cowardly
bully who hits without notice and
then shouts an unnecessary blast of
warning. There is no respect, as of
yore, for the aged and infirm, the
weak and defenseless, the woman or
her babe, for hospitals nor prisons,
for non-combatants or unfortified a.

old adage: might is right" The peo-
pies of the earth seem to have drifted
away from any sort of recognition of
the rights of man. Honor among ma

by-gone years. 1t is seen no more e.

youth. It has disappeared just as the

from the ocean lanes.

Unions Approve Order
To REGISTER British Labor
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. ia joint con-
sultive committee of employers and
Trades Union Congress representa-
tives approved orders today for the
registration of Britain's labor.
The orders next will go before the
cabinet for action.
The committee recommended that
the registration be completed with
as little delay as possible. Workers
will be registered by age groups in
classifcations similar to those used
In registration for the armed forces.
Both factories and workers in
essential industries will be required
to observe special conditions, such
as provision for welfare and canteen
facilities, restrictions on dismissals
and restrictions on labor missing
work without valid reason.
After three hour discussion, the
Joint committee approved an order
permitting the Minister of Labor to
require any man or woman to
register for war work when and
where the ministry decided they
were needed.

LONDON, Feb. 18.-Many persons
were killed and many others in
jured when a heavy bomb crashed
through the roof of London shell
ter during a raid on the capital last
night, but the government declared
today the Germans were paying a
steadily rising price for their forays
Four raiders were shot down over
night, it was announced officially
and an Air Ministry News Service
bulletin emphasized the ability of
British pilots to spot and tail Nazi
bombers even on dark, cloudy
nights
The air raid shelter roof was
pierced just before the end Of a
31A hour raid and stretcher bearers,
doctors and nurses worked for six
hours bringing out survivors trapped
underground when debris from the
blast choked the entrance.
The shelter normally holds sev-

bringing out the victims said the
loss of life would be even heavier
than at first believed. No figures
we're issued, however.
Three factors we're described as
enabling the British to knock in
creasing numbers of raiders from
the skies, despite the fact that a
winter showdown in Nazi raids has
provided fewer targets. They are:
