BOARD TO NAME
 THOMAS WALSH
New Superintendent of Garbage to Be Ap-
 pointed Tonight

Thomas F. Walsh, of 21 Luke street will be named by the board of works tonight to succeed James F. Sheehan, of South Elm street. as superintendent of garbage col- lection. MT. Sheehan was recently appointed to the fire department.
 The new superintendent has been active among younger members of the Democratic party and has been prominent as party worker in the Washington Hill section during sev- eral campaigns. He is now eIn- ployed at the Scovill Mfg. Go.
 The position carries a salary of $2,000 year, also an allowance Of $540 for use of a privately owned automobile.
 Appointment of MT. Walsh war predicted in The Democrat inme- diately following MT. Sheehan's ap- pointment to the fire department. Mayor Vincent A. Scully has an- nounced that MT. Walsh's name will be submitted to the works cornmis- sioners tonight.
 MT. Sheehan took office several years ago, succeeding the late Rog- CT O'Donnen. AS fire department private he will receive 8 lower saI- ary but will have job security that does not go with the garbage sup erintendent's post.

front wheel of the north edge of the road, instead of turning with the curve. There is no indication from the tire marks left by his car that he turned to his right to avoid the possibility of a collision with the pedestrian, but he did proceed to- ward the side of the road to his right as a result of failing to turn at all. Indications on the roadway show that Dohl applied his brakes about forty or fifty feet before con- tact was made with the pedestrian, and continued thereafter approxi- mately 30 feet, carrying the pedes- trian against the front of the radia- tor and on the front bumper. When he came to 8 halt MT. Clark fell to the roadway directly in front of Dohl's car on the right hand side.
 Dohl had previously reduced his speed to allow 8 truck to pass to the east around the car out of which Clark got and had started to re- sume speed before Clark walked into the north lane of the road. I find that Dohl was travelling at approxi- mately thirty miles an hour at the time he applied the brakes.
 There was no traffic proceeding Dohl and no traffic following Kathan's car after it started up sub sequent to the time MT. Clark got out. The road was clear and the visibility good.
 Dohl did not keep a proper look out for pedestrians on the road and when he did see Mir. Clark already in a position of danger, he failed to take proper action to avoid hitting him. According to his own state ment, although MT. Clark was not looking in the direction of his car and was walking directly across the north lane, he relied upon sounding the horn to warn Mir. Clark and expected him to pause. He further. failed to pull sharply to his right or to his left after he saw that Clark was continuing to cross.
 The negligence on the part of Dohl does not amount to gross neg ligence within the meaning of the statute on automobile homicide, since his negligence may, at least in part. be due to misjudgment after a dangerous situation had arisen.
 I do find, however, that Dohl was negligent in the ordinary meaning of the word and that his acts and omissions to act were such as may well come within the new statute then in force pertaining to negli- gent operation of a motor vehicle which causes the death of any per- son.
 I find that said death was not caused by the gross negligence of said F. Martin Dohl within the meaning of the statute on automo- bile homicide"

5O4 CARS TESTED
 ON OPENING DAY
Great Increase Over First Day of Previous Inspec-
 ton Period

Clarence F. Roberts, supervisor of the inspection lane on Thomaston avenue, announced this morning that 400 automobiles passed the in- spection test on the first day of the second inspection period which opened yesterday. The supervisor added that 504 cars passed through the lane during the day and 104 of this total were rejected.
 This first day amount was much greater than the total cars inspect ed on the first inspection period which opened March 10 when BOT automobiles were examined. Largely responsible for the increase on the first day of the inspection period MT. Roberts pointed out was the publicity in the newspapers. He said stories in which motorists were said to have waited for more than two hours in line for their turns to have their cars inspected were conducive to the large turnout for the first day.
 The supervisor said the newspa- per were making the people realize in inconveniences attendant on tardy drivers the last few days. He expressed satisfaction on the first days number of cars inspected and said that steady stream of cars through the testing lane will avoid delay in time to motorists and equalize the examination of cars by the lane through staggering them on each day.

are then directed to the correction of all defects found before school opens. Experience has indicated, however, that by delaying the examination until school entrance many defects had developed mean time which should have been dis covered and corrected earlier.
 :. To develop continuity in child health services from infancy through the preschool period, sum- mer round-ups have more recently become part of year-round Well Child Conferences, the bulletin ex- plains. At these conferences held under the supervision of the state department of health, children en- tering school are given final physi- cal and dental check-ups and tests of vision and hearing. In some towns where there are no Well Child Conferences, special summer round-ups are held.
 The bulletin pointed out that school and health authorities are making every effort to maintain healthful and sanitary school houses for pupils. Those require ments are specified in Sections 920 and 944 of the state laws. And the state sanitary code in Regulation no states, Tn every public, private and parochial school toilet accom- modations, water supply, drinking cups, washing facilities, heating, lighting and ventilation shall be maintained in sanitary condition"

COLLEGE PROTECTS
 FUTURE DRAFTEES
Cerdit to Be Given for Full Semeser, Tuition to Be
 Refund Pro Rata

Changes in the tuition and ex- animation system to protect those of it's students who may be draft ed into the military forces of the country have been announced by the Hartford Colleges of Law and Insurance.
 Under the plan Q final exam nation in each subject will be glv- en at the end of the first semeS- ter, and any student who may be called into military service during the second semester will receive credit for the first semester. Upon his return to college after the emer- gency is over, 1t will not, there fore, be necessary for the student to repeat the first semester of work.
 As for tuition, the college will refund to the student pro rata portion of the fee for a semester should he be called before he has time to take the final examina- tionS for the semester.
 In announcing these plans, Dean Baird said Many boys want to start a course in the fields of law and insurance, but some feel that if they were called after starting their studies, their time, effort and money would be wasted. As re- suit, many who would enroll in professional schools are tempted to wait until times are normal. Every young man should be encouraged to follow through with his plans and preparations for career, and we feel that this liberalizing of our examination and tuition system will encourage these young men to go ahead. This plan will be in ef- feet until further notice"

Driver Faces Charge Of Negligence In Aged Mans Deat
Pre-School Children
 Given Examination
Over 10000 Youngsters Given Physical Check-Ups
 at We'll Child Conferences; Gratifying Results

Complete physical examinations were given approximately 10000 pre- school children at Well Child Con- ferences and about 2,O00 at summer round-ups held throughout the state in 1940, the current weekly bulletin of the state department of health reports. Parents are urged to have physical and dental defects in children corrected before school opens. The longer defect remains uncorrected, the greater the danger of its becoming a serious health hazard and handicap to children in their school work.
 Local parent-teacher associations have been cooperating with the state department of health for many years in carrying on summer round-ups where children, who are to enter school for the first time and have not been examined by family physicians, are given a thor ough physical examination. Efforts

sos ANSWERED BY BEE EXPERT
Service Station Owner FIees When SqudrOn
 Moves in for Visit

James H. Cooke of Woodbury is the kind of a man for whom lees just ain't got that sting. He nur- lures them from infancy; pampers them in spite of the best modern psychology; raises, coddles, shelters, amuses, plays with and adoreS them.
 Yesterday he got an emergency phone call from an attendant at a service station on the Middlebury road. Several sQuadronS of the in- sects, it seemed, had Swarmed into the station and refused to leave. The attendant was despairing. He plead ed, in effect, Honey and save me-" To which Cooke replied, "Ill bee right over". (Pardon pun.)
 About an hour and 8 half after his arrival Cooke had contrived to stow the last of them in a box he uses for the purpose, much to the relief of the attendant, who by that time must have been a Sorely tried man, what with curfews, rations, bees, etc.
 The recipe for capturing the striped -stingers, if you ever feel that life is futile, and a nip or two wont alter things very much, is as fol- lows:
 l. Take one snoke-pot for the purpose of stupefying them.
 2. Add a box in which to put them, after you have succeeded in rounding them up, you hope.
 3. Wear 8 thick gauge veil over the face for protection. (Not essen tial, but wise, wear a medieval knights helmet, and lucky charm )
 4. If the formula fails, look sheepish and pretend 1t was all a joke, so as to throw the bees of guard. Then run for the nearest shell hole.
 5. Lay in a good stock of lini- ment, poultices and soothing appI- cations.
