STATE RANKS HIGH
 IN SAFETY PLANS
Reduction In Traffic Fa- talities Encouraging Fea=
 ture Of Past Year

Reporting fatality rate of 70 per hundred million motor vehicle miles for the calendar year of 1940, Connecticut will stand among the leading states of the Union for re- duction of traffic fatalities last year.
 For the eleven-month period end- ing November 30, 1940, Commission CT Michael A. Connor of the State Department of Motor Vehicles has been notified by the National Safety Council that Connecticut and Mass achuSettS were tied for second place with mileage rate of GA cases per hundred million miles. Rhode Island was first with rate of 4.6 and South Dakota and New Jersey fol- lowing Connecticut and Massachu- settS with rates of 7.9 fatalities per hundred million motor vehicle miles.
 "The top places in this statisti- cal comparison" stated CommiS- sioner Connor, will be held by these states. Connecticut finished 1940 with rate of 70 and I am con- fident we will occupy second or third place in this traffic fatality mileage rate. While our accident prevention program in not based on desire to win statistical honors, it is a definite tribute to Connecticut's safety promotion activities that our state should rank so high in a na. tional comparison"

with another man, Joseph Movie and said: 50 this is what it is."
 She replied, "Yes," whereupon the deefndant struck her and inflicted a neck wound with the knife. Po- lice who were summoned took the accused to the Naugatuck jail.
 Cross examination by Defense At torney Edward Mascolo tendedd to show that Sottosanto has suffered great neglect from his wife. The trouble started when Michael came back from trip to Miami, Florida Vera, the wife, somehow could find no time to go dancing or dining with her hueband, yet she did "step out" in the company of another man. On one occasion the defendant found her in company with someone else in North Main street tavern.
 Divorce Started
 Shortly after Mrs. SottoSanta left home and instituted divorce &C., tion. Repeated attempts of recon ciliation by SottoSanto failed. Mrs Sottosanto simply refused to see him, locking the door whenever he called and in every other way stu- diouSly avoiding him.
 A loaded revolver was found in the accused's parked car, some dis tance from the sceen of the as- sault. The revolver and the knife were placed as evidence.
 The estranged couple have one child, girl of seven.

LIBRARY RECEIVES
 UNIQUE CALENDAR
Full Course Of instructions In Machine Shop Prac=
 tice Outlined

An unusual idea of presenting the clements of machine shop prac- tice Is embodied in calendar orig mated by Leighton Wilkie, presi- dent of Continental Machines, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn. The object is to interest young men in machine shop training, SC that they may be fitted for the jobs that must be ill., ed ia meeting the present Arma- Aaent Program.
 The theme of the calendar is "Twenty Easy Lessons in the Fun damentals of Machine Shop Prac- tice." To give the information longer life, 1t is presented in calen- dar form, 50 that it can be posted in shops, technical schools, and in places where metal workers stu- dents, or unemployed men congre- gate. The lessons are presented in twelve posters, each lesson being displayed for one month The fnl- lowing month new step is pre- Sented, so that at the end of the year, a conception of the principles embodied in metal cutting with ma- chine tools will have been obtained.
 The need for some means of stimulating interest in machine shop work is obvious. Statistics in dicate that there are dozen young men Icing educated for every exist ing professional job, while, for every seven mechanics at work, only one apprentice is being trained. The chief object of the calendar, there through giving ehrdlu luetaoiununu fore is to stimulate interest through giving the young man a conception of what machine tools are and what work they perform.
 A copy of this has been sent to the Bronson Library and is ex- hibited at the entrance to the Technical Department.

MERCY SHIP ON
 WAY TO EUROPE
Bundles For Britain The CIuding Local Gifts Now
 On High Seas

New York, Jan. 8-Today the first mercy shipload of hospital garments sewn by volunteers in 47 American states to specifications as exact as if they had all come from one fac- tory, was on it's way to British vic- tins of German air bombings.
 With U-boats lurking along the Atlantic sea lanes, Bundles for Britain, sponsors of the shipment, kept the name of the vessel and the date of it's departure strict secret, revealing only that it left New York around the middle of this week.
 Britain's urgent appeal for hos pital garments reached here in the late fall, at a time when most aid Britain work was still in the field of bandages and worn clothes. Faced with the problem of rushing out by hand factory quantities of identical surgeons aprons and masks, bed jackets, undervests and nightshirts when only one master pattern of each type had been furnished them, Bundles for B.itain appealed to J. M. Shapiro, president of Simplicity Pattern company, worlds largest pattern manufacturer. Simplicity donated thousands of spec.ally-cut patterns of each type which were distributed among more than 800 committees across the country to guide the work of women eager to give practical expression to their sympathy for wounded British civilians.
 The completed garments were hurried to a warehouse in New York city, where they were sorted and repacked Tuesday night under the direction of the Duchess of Leinster assisted by leading doctors of New York.
 6 Oficers of the Bundles for Brit ain committee in Waterbury are: Mrs. c. P. Cook, president; Mrs. F. M. Huntington Wilson, secretary, and Edwin Northrup, treasurer.

Michael SottoSanto, 31, charged with assault with intent to kill and illegal possession of a dangerous weapon was sentenced to five months in jail when Judge Robert L. Nun ger of superior court found him guilty on charges of illegal pos session and simple assault.
 In view of the clean record of the defendant, Judge Munger stated that Sottosanto deserved the benefit of the doubt, and therefore the more serious charge of assault with intent to murder would be dropped.
 Mrs. Sottosanto appeared to tes- tify that her husband had slapped her on numerous occasions previous to the Naugatuck attack.
 Sottosanto then took the witness stand in his own defense and stated that his wife and Joseph Movie, whom he accused of stealing his wife's affections, attacked him first. He stated that when he accosted his wife. she and Nowie bounced on him.
 Mail CIeaner?"
 Cross examination by Prosecuting Attorney William Smyth brought out the interesting fact that the knife used to inflict the neck wound on Mrs. Sottosanto was open in his pocket at the time. MT. Sottosanto has crippled left hand. Asked why the knife was open, Sottosanto re- piled "To clean my nails"
 Judge Munger suggested he change that story, and Michael did, stating the knife was cloced, but that dur ing the scuffle he opened it. In the testimony given by County Detective Roland G. filling, Sotto- santa is reported to have accoSted his wife on the street in company

Lieut.. Gov. Lord Baden=POwell Was 83 Years Of Age Famous Soldier, Brilliant Military
 Intelligence Operator

British force against an overwhelm- ingly superior Boer force.
 Baden-PoweI, lieutenant colonel of the crack 5th Dragoon Guards, found himself with a mixed force of 1000 men at the iron -roofed vil- lage of Mafek.ng on the African veldt, surrounded by Boers through whose lines it was impossible to make break.
 He organized a defense that thrilled the world. He erected fake breaStworks and fake cannon to make his little force seem impress sive. He sent small force of Scouts out, dressed in the uniform of a regiment new to Africa, to show themselves and make the Boers think relief had arrived.
 Baden-Powell held Mafeking for PIT days. News of its relief caused in London celebration so wild that even today "Mafeking'' is a slang word for riotous merrymaking.
 Baden-Powell entered the British army by accident. At Charterhouse public school in England he had spent much time rowing through the woods, trapping rabbits and cooking them On open fires, and learning to use an axe and a knife He heard of an army examination as he was about to enter Oxford and flor fun" took it. He was sec- ond on list of 700, which decided him on an army career
 h young supaIterfl US Vmior lieu tenant, he went to India. There he tracked a superior officers horse which had been frightened into the mountains, and was put on scout work. He formed his own mounted scout detail. He went home on sick leave after serving in India and AfghaniStan.
 Baden-Powell then went to South Africa which was to make him fa- nous. There he saw service in many campaigns.
 Retired in 1910
 He retired in 1910, and it was then that he turned for excitement and to aid his country, to intelli- bence work.
 Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts in 1908, a year after he first gathered a group of youngsters about him on Brownsea Island in Poole harbor in England and began teaching them woodlore. He found- ed the Girl Guides two years later
 Lord Baden-Powell had always sought to share the credit with others for organizing what. became identified with his name as inter- national chief Scout, and had be- Titled his own role. He pointed out that others, such as Ernest Thomp- son-Seton and Dan Beard, had formed similar organizations.
 Lord Baden-Powell was made Baron Baden-Powell of Gilwell ir 1929. He had been knighted in 19Os and made baronet in 1922. He hao four honorS any one of which, also would have made him a knight. He had received honors from IS othe, countries.
 Lord Baden-Powell married Olave Soames. daughter of Harold Soames They have a son and two daugh. ters. The son, Arthur Robert Peter Baden Powell, becomes second harN
