HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, MAY l

Benefic aspects dominate today, but strong adverse influences may affect labor. The month begins with portents of grave potentiali- ties in human affairs.
 Heart and Home: This is a promising configuration for begin ming things and is fortunate for the signing of leases on new dwell ing places. Warning is given that rentals will rise sharply before this date next year and the wise will negotiate terms with foresight. Girls need not expect sentimental friendships under this rule of the stars and should devote their att tention to various forms of service for humanity The late hours pres age good fortune through associa- tion with persons in authority.
 Business Affairs: Newspapers and magazines will profit this month when readers will increase in nun Der and advertising will assume novel forms. Merchants will bene- fit, although importers will feel the effects of world war. Ameri- can substitutes for products of Europe and the Orient will multi ply and prove satisfactory T c manufacture of perfumes is to be- come major industry. California wines are to supply hotels and res taurants.
 National Issues: Labor problems will command wide attention on this date when there will be a growing criticism of strikes and re- newed agitation for special legisla- tion to prevent them. The seers emphasize t he importance of reaching friendly understandings in issues relating to defense con- tracts. Diplomacy and common sense instead of force and conflict are strongly recommended, for the stars preSage great need for unity Ol Pul POoC dlllOllS dll CllllcIlS Ol the United States.
 International Affairs: ImpoSsibil- ity of escaping participation in the spreading world conflict will be gradually acknowledged by citizens of the United States who have conscientiously opposed aid for Britain. The nation is to be recog- nized after the war as the great est in the world is to make it nec- essary for dictators to sue for peace. In the Orient surprising develop ments involving our naval power are forecast, but there will be speedy settlement of difficulties.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extra ordinary events, but there will be happiness in the family, despite economic changes.
 Children born on this day may have ups and downs in life, but in the end they will reach fulfill ment of their ambitions.

len Haywood, CIO organization di- rector; Anthony Smith, CIO as- sistant counsel; and John Brophy, director of industrial union coun- cils.
 What particularly gripes the board members is that Haywood was originally proposed by Murray as a substitute and Roosevelt rejected him. When the President asked for recommendations, Murray sent in his own name at the instigation of John L. Lewis.
 NOTE: Inside word in the De- fense Board is that the next time Haywood, close henchman of Lewis, shows up his right to sit will be challenged.

winter hog hair" is playing its
part in national defense aviation.
ITS winter hog-hair rather than
Winter-hog hair" an Air Corps
spokesman said when asked to
explain this item on list of prod
ucts needed in aircraft manufac-
turing.
And what's the difference?
THE difference is that there is
no such animal as a winter hog, but
hair that grows on hogs in the
colder months is known as winter
hog hair"
And what's it used for?
Its used for making cushions
and padding for airplanes. The
hair is rubberized by special process
and put together in the form of
mat. The hog hair is tougher and
stronger than most any other kind
of hair and it grows longer in the
winter. We buy the hair from
packing houses.
No, this isn't a military secret"
he added, you can quote us on
winter hog hair"

National Parks Mark
Silver Anniversary
OF Bureau 'sCreation
Present System Of
Control Established
By Congress in 1916

The National Parks Service will
observe the 25th anniversary of pas
sage of legislation which created 1t
as bureau of the Department of
the Interior, in a Nationwide cele-
bration which begins tomorrow and
will continue through the week.
In 1916 there were 81 parks and
monuments but no Federal agency
responsible for their administration.
A lot of folks did not like this and
said So
Included in the objectors was
Stephen Tying Mather a wealthy
lover of nature from California. He
wrote to his friend Franklin K.
Lane, then Secretary of the In
terror under President Wilson, COM
planning about the lack of attention
given the parks.
Dear Steve" Secretary Lane
wrote back: IF you don't like the
way the parks are being run, come
down and run them yourself"
Mr.. Mather did just that and when
Congress created the National Park
Service, he became its first director.
Silver jubilee ceremonies will be
observed in the parks and reServa-
tions throughout the Nation this
week. The climax will be held at
birthday party during the weekly
campfire program of the National
Capital Parks in Rock Greek Park
Friday night. Newton B. Drury, di-
rector of the service, will be the
speaker.
The national parks idea orig
mated on September 19, 1870, when
a party of explorers in the Wash
burn Langford Doane expedition
were gathered around campfire in
Northwest Wyoming. Impressed
with the vast commercial wealth
they had seen, they conjured visions
In the smouldering embers when one
Of their number advanced the idea,
which by all good Judgment of their
times, should have been received
with ridicule.
This man, Cornelius Hedges, a
Montana lawyer, proposed that the
expedition members waive all per-
sorl&l claim to the natural treasurers
they had seen, and seek to set them
apart for the enjoyment of all the
people.
The idea was not ridiculed and
the area was set aside as Yellow
stone National Park. From that day
until this, during which time the
National Parks Service was created,
fhe number of areas has increased
TO 164.

The Air Raid Warden

bearers to the group awaiting hos pitalization. He has early directed the first aid workers to the emer- gency cases--those with cut arteries, the severely scalded, the suffiocated, the shocked. He has already watch ed for looters, and he reports to the police as they arrive. He has early diverted traftic away from the street hole; and he has lost no time in re- porting to the utility men the dee tected odor of escaping gas, or the spouting stream from a broken hy- drant. He has, perhaps, herded the evacuated occupants of several buildings to shelter in @ church or school building. Now he directs to them the mobile canteen service, which takes care of the needs of the aged and the children. Tn Eng land, when there was the first indi- cation of gas attack, corps of warning wardens. in gas mask and protective clothing, circulated through all surrounding streets swinging a burning policeman's rat- tie. =.
 A thousand and one special calls fall upon him, when the systematic control of the situation once gets well under way. Dozens of people have enquiries, make reports, bring messages, leave addresses, and de- liver up found articles of value. For @ rest, he vainly envisages the rela- tive relaxation of an information Bureau at @ railroad stationl But though time passes quickly, yet time seems, as Goethe expressed 1t, endlessly long. One warden, active during the English raids, had occa- sions that kept him at 1t for twelve, for twenty-four, once even for thirty six hours.
 And 1t wasn't the most agreeable of occupations. The air raid warden does not need to do spectacular things to be heroic. He is hero, unsung only because there are so many of him.
 At last comes the stage when he can report "all under control" to his headquarters. The firemen are still mopping up. The police lines are es- tablished and firm. The valves have been shut oil and the city water force or the electric utility gang are already making their repairs. New telephone connections are set up,

AGED OPERATOR TO BE EXAMINED
Waterburian, 72, Cues. toned as to Ability to
 Continue Driving Auto

A 72-year-old Waterbury motorist was ordered to be re-examined by the state motor vehicle department by Judge Joseph Banks, in the Bethlehem town court Tuesday night when he was found guilty of road rules violation and fined $25 and costs of which $2o was re- mitted.
 The accused Is William H. Fitch of 61 Hopkins street! After trial in which conflicting testimony was introduced, his ability to drive an automobile was questioned.
 Prosecutor Frank Coward said the man was involved in an acci- dent with another car ct the Inter- section of routes 6l and 1S2 on Sep- tember 27, and on examination of the aged driver the prosecutor told the court he found the vision of the accused not "too good" and his sense of direction poor.
 Fitch's car crashed into an au- tomobile driven by Arthur Thomas of Watertown as the elderly mans car attempted to pass on the right, testimony showed.
 Thomas testified he pulled out into the highway from East street after stopping at a stop sign and was travelling south when his au- tomobile was struck.
 Judge Banks dismissed a charge of road rules against Thomas.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-09

This article is Number in a series of ten prepared by the State De- fense Council on the duties and ac- tIvities of Air Raid Wardens.
 Tn the several articles of this series, we have thus far considered the air raid warden as an important element in civilian defense and have noted something of the prob lens with which he must cope in case of an air raid. We have briefly listed such emergencies as street craters with disrupted piping and cable systems, buildings wrecked by explosive bombs, fires started by in- cendiary bombs, and people injured or, worse, trapped in the ruins. we have seen that the air raid warden, having visited the spot and rapidly estimated the situation and trans mitted this in 6 report to his report center, will at once direct himself and his available helpers to first aid to the injured, protection of the sir- rounding community, and fighting comfortable fires. In this article, we are to see him re-enforced and sup- ported and, eventually, relieved by the arrival of the special services which were ready and waiting for the dispatch orders from the report center. These services include police, fire. ambulance, first aid, utilities. rescue, demolition and, in case of gas attack, decentralization.
 For each of these, the warden has been the auxiliary arm-the ob- server, the reporter, the immediate on-the-spot agent and performer More even than that, he has been the intermediate contact point be- tween these services and the people in his community, for it is always to be remembered that, in the last analysis, every citizen, every house holder, is an auxiliary member or every social service, which, func- tions for the public security and the general welfare. The warden is their leader and guide in this basic tunc- ton of democratic citizenship.
 AS the special services arrive, the warden is the first contact they make. He has heard the cry of someone pinned beneath a pile of wreckage. He knows where there Is an unstable or tottering wall that must be brought down for the pub lie safety. He directs the stretcher
