1 One year ago today, Oct. l6, i940, 22l 1885 young men between the ages Of 2l and 35 years registered in Con- necticut under the terms of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940.
 Today on the first anniversary of the first peace time registration of the nations manpower Connecticut has sent to the armed forces, under the provisions of the Selective Train ing and Service Act, more than Ill., 900 of it's registrants.
 Records at the State Headquarters of Selective Service in Hartford show that the original registration of 22l, 1885 has now grown to 237,2o0 because of the registration of July l, 194l when 1l,655 young men who had become q years of age since October l6 1940 registered and be- cause of transfers from other states. 175,631 Classified
 Connecticut's 65 local boards, com- posed of leading citizens working without compensation, have to date classified 175,63l of the total regis tration and in at least two instances classification of all registrants will be completed within the next two months.
 Since passage of legislation by Congress permitting deferment of , men 28 years of age or over the local boards have placed 0,s36 men in Glass I-H signifying that they will be referred until time of emer- gency when by presidential proc- lamation they can be called for ser- vice.
 Slightly more than l06,000 of Con- necticut'S registrants have been been placed in Glass III, deferred because of dependency and approxi- mately l4,000 are in one of the two divisions of Glass II deferred be- cause of their particular occupation.
 A survey of the medical division of the Selective Service System dis- closes that of the total number ex- amined by local board physicians, to date some 40,700, there have been 10,779 rejected. Because of the excellent examination given by the local board physicians Connec- UACuV XVJCEVlO1lS AU JLlS 41lQuCVkOH Station are today almost level with the national average. Of total of over ll,000 delivered to the in- duction station prior to the present week only i,i07 were rejected for a state average of 9.2 per cent ct the induction line.

Toronto, Ontario, October ii. - Youth wants wings. And Cam ada's 'teen-sge boys are going to get them in the newly organized Air Cadet League, which will train them in the preliminary program of the RCAF.
 The deam of 8 pilots life won't come true-immediately. But the elementary training these boys will undergo will prepare them to be Canada's future pilots, navi- gators, observers, gunners, ground crews. For the Leagues set-up Follows closely the senior air force pattern of ranks. training and uniform. It is, actually, a junior air force"
 Started under the auspices of the Department of National De- fense in Ottawa, the new organi- sation is similar in scope to the British Air Cadet Defense Corps, which has membership of 190 900. The Canadian Air Cadets expect to have 25 000 boys enrolled for the new school year.

CLOSE TIES WITH RCAF


 The Air Cadet League has come into existence as an answer to a request for training from airmind- ed Canadian boys too young to join the air force. Private air cadet corps had previously been started in several cities. The present or- ganization is closely tied in with the air force, with a number of air force officers acting as liaison be- tween the cadets and the air force, and inspections being made by air force officers.
 Boys joining the air cadets do not automatically on attaining 1S years have to join the air force, but 1t is hoped that most will, and that the training they receive in the air cadets will save many months of air force training. The air cadets meet after school hours once or twice weekly. In some schools the air cadets have been formed as a part of the school cadet corps.

No accurate estimate could be
obtained of the number of convic-
tions under the fourth regulation
listed for new strict enforcement.
This prohibits horn blowing ex-
cept as danger warning, and
limits the sound duration to two
seconds, except in cases of emer-
gency.
Peril q Matter Of Opinion.
Far fewer cases have been brought
under this regulation since the Com
missioners amended it on Deem
Der 4, 1910, according to Assistant
Corporation Counsel w. w. Dent.
Previously the law completely pro-
hibited any except an emergency
vehicle on emergency duty from
sounding its horn between 1901
and am.
In regard to this regulation, one
official said it is harder to press
a successful prosecution when the
danger" which authorizes use of
a horn may be matter of opinion.
Police also pointed out their diff
ficulty in proving that a disturb
ance has existed-be it from bark
ing dogs or a noisy party. Little
evidence Is left behind and few
witnesses appear in court. Yes
