Decoration
Use Rag Rugs
With Simple
interior
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

THERE HAS appeared on the
market during the past few
years several new types OF scat
ter rugs TO bolster the assort-
ment OF old stand-bys such as
braided, hooked and rag rugs.
Some OF these newer styles
are ideally suited TO period in
teriors. and some are better
adapted 10 modern rooms.
Colonial Inspiration
The idea Of scatter rugs is
associated. naturally enough.
with early American and the
more simply styled colonial in
teriors.
Since they were intended
originally AS a means toward
economy il is natural that they
blend well with schemes built
around the simpler themes OF
decoration.
Hooked rugs. either domestic
or imported, are perfectly suited
To rooms Of either early Ameri-
can maple or colonial mahogany.
So too are their cousins, the
braided and rag rugs.
These latter two may be used
together in the same room. but
il is rarely good idea 10 make
a threeSome by including hooked
rugs with them.

ASK MERCHANTS
 TO COOPERATE
Boy Scouts to Distribute Special Defense Bond
 Posters Tomorrow

Local merchants were urged to- day by Charles J. Allen, chairman of the publicity committee for the sale of defense bonds and stamps, to cooperate with Boy Scouts who will deliver posters at Waterbury stores tomorrow morning.
 The statement was issued follow. ing Q report received by MT. Allen recently complaining that several merchants had rejected other post CTS, not connected with the defense bond posters, which the scouts at- tempted to deliver.
 The Scouts will meet tomorrow morning ct 9 o'clock on the second floor of the Waterbury post office to receive the posters for distrlhu- ton. They will then deliver them to stores on all Main streets, Grand street and Bank street.
 Merchants are asked by the pub- licity committee to place the signs, which show Santa Claus urging the purchase of the bonds, where they may easily be seen.

 Know the meanings of the vari- ous warning signals; know where you want to 60, think over in your mind how far it is, your route, how many streets you cross and what turns must be made to avoid being lost; use your f1ashlight, if per- missible at all, as ltlte as possible and then only for 6 few seconds at Q time.
 Don't Crowd at Curb
 Be careful not to push persons walking close to the curb as they may be struck by ears running close and using 1t as Q guide line; look down and not upward SO that you can see the white stripes oh posts ct barricades and obstacles on the ground.
 Watch the trafic lights and ob- serve them scrupulously because any jay walker who gets knocked down during Q blackout is almost certain to get run over by the next vehicle behind.
 If you are hurt in any way, move to the nearest wall and stop the first person to come along.
 There are many other precautions cation necessary in preparation of industry, utilities, communications services, transportation and their many branches, Q long and serious education period indeed seems neces- sary to guarantee our safety,
 Full Cooperation Needed
 It is pointed out in the booklet that Civilian Defense agencies are responsible for the proper education of the people as to the reason for and the methods of producing black outs, Based on this knowledge the enthusiastic cooperation of the peo- pie must then be evoked by con- tinuing publicity of a progressive nature"

PUT ON INDIVIDUAL TRAINING. IN U. s. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLACKOUTS

washington, Dec. -Up)-If you have ever ''sensed" your way about your bedroom at night with only the luminous dial Of a clock or the outline of e window to guide you, then you have some Idea Of what it would be like to walk the streets in Q blackout.
 The Oface of Civilian Defense has released 60-page booklet pre- pared by the War Department, in which the necessity of individual training for blackouts is stressed and blackout procedures are de- scribed in detail.
 It is pointed out that ''the effec- tiveness of 6 blackout system de- ponds upon the knowledge and the cooperative spirit of the people ct large"
 Among the minor discomforts that individuals will have to observe if blackouts become a reality here are the prohibition of smoking out of doors, compulsory wearing of re- fectors and white belts for pedes- trians, careful shading of windows In private homes, and enforcement or rule prohmibiting persons in the streets from looking upward during an air raid.
 This latter precaution is taken, according to the survey, because the upturned faces of Q crowd are con- spicuous, especially if streets are lighted by flares or burning build ings.
 In c chapter devoted to the part of individual persons and dwellings in blackout preparations, the OCD the basic element of the nations points out that "the individual is resistance to aerial attack. The part played by the civilian population Is fully as active in many respects as that Of the soldier"
 Some of the advice that will be given to individuals when training for blackouts becomes more gen-
