CONTRACT DRAWN
 BETWEEN ARMIES
Former Czarist General Speaks at Y Satur-
 day Night

A sharp contrast between the armies of Nazi Germany and So- viet Russia was drawn on Satur- day evening at the Central Y. M. c. A. by Victor A. Yakhontoff, former Czarist general. He assert ed that there is 8 wide difference between Hitler's soldiers, fighting for small minority of ambitious men, and the members of the Red army, fighting to retain their free- dom.
 MT. Yakhontoff, whose talk was sponsored by the International Workers order, saw service dur ing the World war with the 10th Russian army, and was assistant secretary of war in the Kerensky cabinet.
 He pointed to the war news of the past month as indication that Russia alone of the attacked coun- tries in Europe has perfected a defense against German blitzkrieg, and attributed the strength of the Russian stand, which has sur- prised SO many of the military experts, to the moral value of their fight for freedom.

"SUICIDE CLUB"
 SIGN REMOVED
Last Remaining Trace of
 Famous Bristol Organ izatiOn Wiped Out

Bristol, Aug. @The last remain ing trace of the one time famed Suicide Club" was wiped out Sum- day noon when four highly aroused residents of East Bristol met at the Mary A. Callen School, armed with tools of all description, and took down sign bearing the words Suicide Club" which more than a year ago had been put up on a city sign post in front of the school.
 Who put the sign up nobody knows and likewise who took the sign down remains a mystery.
 East Bristol residents, however, believed that the sign was detri- mental to the morale of the chi;- dren of the school. They did not like it either because the sign point ed towards their school and in the past the school had sometimes been mistaken for the club. For some time the residents con- sidered doing something about the sign. Many of them contended that the name of their street, Pine Street" belonged on the city sign post.
 Late Saturday night in the cover of darkness one East Bristol resi- dent covered the sign over with white paint.
 Sunday morning persons on their way to church saw a new white sign but through the paint could be seen the words, Suicide Club"
 It was finally decided to take the sign down and at noon it was removed by the four residents.
 The sign had been in front of the school for about a year and h ad attracted the attention of thousands of persons.
 Former Governor Raymond E. Baldwin on his way to a COP pow WOW at Lake Compounce exclaimed, Where is that club?"
 The Suicide Club was organized some years ago in the north end of the city and later had club rooms on Farmngton avenue.
 About g. year ago 1t secured as it's headquarters a building off of Pine street and the sign was erect ed in front of the school, some dis tance away, to direct members to the club house.
 The club was disbanded about six months ago and the building off Pine street was sold.

UNION JACK TO
 GO ON DISPLAY

A British union jack will soon be on display in the local headquarters of Bundles for Britain, as token of the contribution the Waterbury unit has made to the cause of be- leaguered Britain in recent months. The flag has been sent to the chap ter by Dewitt Armstrong, sales man. ager of the Dominion Foundries & Steel, Ltd, of Hamilton, Ont, who recently paid visit to Waterbury.
 The formal presentation of the gift will take place at a meeting to- morrow evening in old St. Johns parish house. In letter accompany ing the flag, MT. Armstrong paid tribute to the valuable work which the local chapter is doing. He pointed out that it is a common sight in Canada to see the Stars and Stripes and the British union jack flying side by side. The flag, he added, will serve to indicate the high esteem in which Canadian, hold the American people.

A distinctive sign colored the re- verse of the regular destination signs along the state highways, marks each of these routes. A black arrow bears the inscription Rural Route" followed by 8 letter and number designating the particular route marked. These letters are eB" for Bridgeport, I'll" for Hartford, NH" for New Haven and "W1 for Waterbury trips. The numbering system is simple, the lowest mum Der being assigned to the shortest trip in the book, and so on, until No. 8 is given to the longest trip. In this fashion III 1" is the short est trip out of Hartford, "NH g.. is the longest out of New Haven.
 Cities other than the ones men, toned are served by some of the trips. All were laid out by the State Highway Department with two main purposes in view. First it is desired to suggest to picnickers and other recreational drivers routes that are attractive and comparatively free of congestion. In addition, it is desired to free the main line" roads of the more leisurely traffic that is not concerned with prompt arrival at some destination.
 The 1941 revision has additions and substitutions for roads used last year, because of newly opened high ways that were not available in 194O. In addition some changes have been made to avoid areas where construc- tion is under way that might pre- sent inconvenience to the motorist. In this latter connection, some points of construction are not avoid ed since they offer no difficulty or delay to the highway user.
 Distribution of these maps will be through full time chambers of corl- merce, associations of motor car owners and gasoline stations dealing with most of the principal distribu- tors. The maps will also be avail able at the Hartford office of the State Highway Department.

Tn connection with the making of voters for the November 4th mu- nicipal elections, the Board of &c., lectmen and the Town Clerk will meet at the alderrnanic chambers Wednesday, from a. m. to 8 p. m. Examination of electors who have resided in this state for a period of one year and one day, and in Waterbury for six months and one day, will be conducted at the ses- sion.
 Naturali1ed citizens should pre- sent their citizenship papers to Mrs. Marie Beckley at the aldermanic chambers.
 Informed of the states intention of mailing absentee ballots to ser- vice men by the deputy secretary of the state, Mrs. Kilmartin re- quested the forms in communica- ton to Hartford today. In contra distinction to the prevailing method in these cases, ballots need not be applied for by inductees it is thought.
 The names of those in the U. s. army and navy will be secured from local selective service boards, and mailed directly to the men.
 Many of those in the navy are probably on board ship at present, and since their whereabouts is strict secret, it will be necessary to address their ballots to the Post- master of New York City. From that point they will be forwarded to their proper destinations.
 The commanding officers of army units have been authorized to act as notaries for the men under their command.
