0PA Ceiling Trims
Auto Anti-Freeze
Prices Sharply
Wholesale and Retoil
Limits Well Beow
Speculative Levels
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Office CT Price Administration
has fixed prices of automobile anti
freeze at levels which officials said
we're well below the speculative
prices prevailing at the end Of last
winter.
MaXimums set under the new reg
ulation apply at retail, wholesale
and distributing levels, in general,
the retail ceiling announced yester-
day pegs prices for the more eX-
pensive permanent anti-freeze at
the levels in effect during the last
three years-with S265 the top
price. However, the less costly now
permanent types will be higher than
in recent years
The temperament anti-freeze
will represent about 85 per cent of
next winters total supply, OPA
added. In the early months of last
season these types retailed for about
81 gallon; since then, OPA re-
ported, there has been a marked in
crease in the cost of some alcohols
used in their production.
Recognizing this increase in cost,
the new ceiling sets top price for
natural-type non-permanent anti
freeze at S140 a gallon, while syn
thetic types will retail for s1.l0.
Dental Drills Curbed.
The war caught up with dentist
drills today-but it didn't help the
ultimate patient at all.
In an effort to conserve materials,
the War Production Board ordered
manufacturers to standardize and
simplify the types and sizes of such
drills, technically known as dental
excavating burs." Officials predicted
that the order would reduce the
present number of types and sizes
by about so per cent, without re-
strlctlng the continued output of all
drills generally required by dentists
treating patients.
Paper Curb Removed.
Restrictions on inventories Of
paper, paperboard.s paper products
ana waste paper were removed bv
the War Production Board to permit
accumulation Of supplies in antici-
patton of a transportation shortage
next fall and winter.
Toy Ceiling Due Soon.
A special price order putting a
ceiling on all toys and games will
be issued BY the Office of Price Ad-
ministration shortly. Price Admin
lstrator Leon Henderson announced.

pr. Condon Pays Tribute To Late School Teacher

A moving tribute was rendered by the Board of Education at its meeting last night to Miss Mary D. Tennant, retired teacher, who died Nov. 30. Sh.e cerved in the local school system for 48 years, retiring in 1888. when she was assistant principal at Driggs school.
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, super intendent of schools, stated:
 "Her career was marked by all the outstanding qualities of the successful teacher and her con- tacts with her colleagues revealed nobility of character that was elevating The quiatness and re- serve of her nature concealed, not weakness, but strength--character strength that gave her firmrnss il what she believed to be right and courage to uphold that standard.
 Tt is regrettable that Miss Tennant had only four years to enjoy freedom from the responsi- bilities she discharged so pain stakingly and it is our sincere prayer that rest and happiness are hers in her Fathers house.
 Our deepest sympathy is ex- tended to her bereaved family"

 MT. Graveline's statement on the Scovill election follows:
 "It is true that I signed the tally sheet recording the votes as count ed by the election committee. When was finally allowed to ob- serve the tallying, I stated that the counting of the ballots was done satisfactorily and that I found no fault with which the tallying was conducted However, I am join- ing with fellow candidates and fel- low members in protesting the entire election, since they have information which tends to prove that the whole procedure of the election was marked by illegal tac- tics and fraud. I have joined these fellow candidates in asking re- sponsible officers of the interna- tional union to declare the entire election invalid and to take steps to conduct a fair and honest elec- tion among the membership of our union.
 My statement regarding the counting of the ballots in no way is an acceptance of the way in which the voting was conducted, the way in which the ballot box was handled or of other unfair procedure witnessed by fellow members of the union"

IDR. GRACE GUEST |OF ROTARY CLUB
State Commissioner Oi Education Speaks on
 Current Problems

"Education and the War" was the topic discussed by pr. Alonzo G. Grace, state commissioner of edu- cation, today at the regular lunch con meeting of the Rotary Club at The Elton.
 Dr. Grace pointed out the vital work which Connecticut schools and teachers are contributing to the nations war effort, and stressed the advantages which the newly estap- lished "war courses" offer high school students.
 Lieutenant Colonel William A. Amelung, former editor of the Ro- tary Club bulletin "Your Critique,' '' now in Army service in Washington, praised the club highly in an article in the current issue. "This Rotary Club, of all the organizations that I have belonged to in my time, has given me the most genuine pleas ure and the truest sense of good fellowship" he Said.

A lar cry rom the Sllm, SLream- lined silhouette which English women until recently strove to achieve or retain. But modern wom- ems "scanties" will have to be added to, for health's sake. After all, our mothers in the last war wore several petticoats and sweeping skirts which helped keep them warm. And it was not from pure whimsey that Eliza bethan women wore high neck ruffS and several quilted petticoats. They were protection against the persh- ing draughts in the homes of their day.
 Sir Leonard Hill, Director of the Institute of Physical Medicine, com- menting on the need to save fuel, recently suggested that garments can be padded with cotton waste, if obtainable, for extra warmth" He added that raincoats, shawls and overcoats could be worn indoors by people in sedentary occupations and that these could be supplemented by rugs over the knees and hot water bottles at the feet.
 Old-fas h oned foot-warmers, warming pans, stone hot water bottles will be worth many times their original price for anyone lucky enough to find them tucked away in the attic. Before the days of central heating, our grand mothers carried around the house tiny foot-warmer stools filled with live charcoal embers. Tucked away under the hems of their voluminous skirts, these kept granny warm for hours.
 It is all part of England's war compelled reversion to the simple living of grandfather's day. Select suburban trains are acquihing peas- ant market day look, with women, and men, too, returning home with large shopping baskets or string bags filled with heterogeneous collection of articles, from jar of face cream to bunch of leeks, a pair of shoes, a haddock or rab- bit. At first many commuters felt self-conscious about carrying un- wrapped purchases-but that feel ing went by the board some time ago.
 The peasant" aspect of English life will be enchanced when. as seems likely, office clerks and shop girls, as well as factory hands, will wear the wooden clogs so typical of French. Dutch and Belgian country folk. This winters prospect of many weary weeks of mud, sleet and snow, plus stricter curtailment of trans port facilities. will make even the most fashionable miss aware of the necessity of keeping her feet warm and dry. Anyway, it is impossible today to buy the once-popular knee length rubber boots without a spe- cial permit.
 Another reversion to grandpar- ents' day is the reappearance of carrying shawls." in which mothers tote their infants. Reason: Less than third of the normal pre-war output of baby carriages is being manufactured today. Those lucky them as vans" to transport pur- chases or belongings, while baby rides on mothers arm.
 A peasant" diet has already been prophesied by Food Minister Lord Woolton, who. while making no promises that existing rations would be kept up, did assert that no one need go hungry. People in the Brit ish Isles will have to make do with oats, potatoes and other root veget- ables, eked out with a little meat and or fish, plus a hunk of cheese.

During my years oil association
with tournament bridge, have seen
many people thrilled by winning
their first national championship.
But never have / seen anyone so
happy as Mrs. l.. B. Buchanan OF
Memphis, one Of the winners Of the
national Women's teamo -four title
at Richmond.
After a championship contest,
there are photographers to take
pictures of the winners. Mrs.
Buchanan insisted upon holding the
trophy high, where everybody could
see It, even though 1t shut off the
view of her face.
The winners played fine bridge
and we'll deserved their victory.
Mrs. Buchanan's fine defense on
the hand shown today helped to
give them the championship.
Mrs. Buchanan, sitting West, won
the first trick with the ace OF
spades. On looking at dummy, she
saw that declarer could surely win
three diamonds, heart and a
spade, In addition to her trumps.
AS North should have q long
string OF clubs, that should suffice
for game unless the defense could
win three tricks in a hurry. II
North's trumps were solid, the con-
tract was probably sure, against any
defense.
Mrs. Buchanan decided that the
only hope was that East held the
