Decline OF
Motor Cars
Observable

Decline of motor cars is observable
not only OH highways in this vicinity
but also in the city as well, since
the new gaaoline rationing program
went into effect and has begun real
ly To affect operation OF motor We
nicleS.
The big freight trucks have not
been curtailed propurtiunately, and
still maintain schedules as far as
possible. They have the highways
more to themselves than they eyer
have before. In this vicinity the cr-
lcctS oil gasoline restrictions are
easily diSccrnible on the highways,
81 lar as passenger cars are con-
cerned, and tourist car. are almost
Il thing OF The past Tourist homes
are among the worst sufferers in this
respect.
This decline in motor car opera
tons is reflected in crowded con-
dition of buses and trains. Most buses
are SO congested that some passcn-
gers have to stand much of the dis
lance Of their trips. This appears to
be particularly true as between here
and Durham, incident Ia the Camp
Butncr traffic.
passenger trains on the main line
of the Seaboard are carrying two
and three times the number of
coaches they formerly hauled, and
seats are ut premium. Most Of the
main line trains do very little local
work, So that passengers do moi have
to stand. except in rare instances, but
accommodations are taken ON vir-
tually every run, and volume ur trail
fic apparently is setting an all-timc
high level.

BUY WAR BONDS! He Fights Hitler With All His Mite * * * *** * 1 ON S25 PAY GREEK BUYS BOND AWEEK
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 16.-Kindly Old Tom. Lecourias, a native of Greece who became an American citizen only few months ago, isn't given to talking about his sacrifices. He says that putting $18.75 of his $25 salary into war bonds every week doesn't even seem like a sac rifice to a man whose wife and four children are starving somewhere in Greece-if the Nazis haven't killed them.
 Tom works here in a small res- taurant owned by his brother. His story would never have been told had not Memphis couple brought their young son to the cafe few days ago. The boy brought griev- ous memories to Tom.
 T have little boy like you somewhere in Greece. I haven't heard from him, though, since the Nads went there"
 BONDS ARE TOMS
 AMMUNITION
 Then Toms story came to light. The story of a man fighting the only way he knows how against the Nazis who ravaged his homeland, cut him off from word or knowledge of his loved ones.
 Times were hard in Greece in 1883, and Tom thought that he could provide for his wife and their four children better if he came to Am erica. But times were hard in Am- erica, too. The depression made it difficult to find jobs. And Tom was heartbroken to learn that be- fore he could bring his family to join him he would not only have to become an American citizen, but also have enough money saved to insure that they would not become public charges.
 His brother had a small cafe here and Tom went to work. At first he could only save about $20 a month to send home. Then came better times and better wages. The checks to Greece got bigger. Hope began to arise that his family might soon join him. Then the Nazts poured into Greece
 The cheeks and his letters home began to be returned undelivered No word came from Greece about his wife and children. Tom want cd to fight. But ct 68 there are difficulties. He did the only thing lie knew how.

 Put the ladies behind the count CTS, as the manpower shortage ill. creases, and man will walk out of the shops with a matched ensemble.
 When the man enters the shop demanding, Gimme a tie and q pair of socks,' he's liable to be con- fronted, Schoeffler predicted, with this cooing sales talk:
 Here's a tie that definitely doea something for you x deepens the blue in your eyes. And here's the darlingest pair of socks with just the right echoing tone."
 Can't Vie with Uniform
 Man, the clothing congress agreed will not be able to resist and wo- men, with their sense of color and passion for assembling, will grad ually improve masculine taste.
 Increase the number of service men and the civilian. male, Schoeff- Ter prophesied. will be forced to spruce up his wardrobe to an alarm ing degree to gain a speck of atten- ton.
 But no matter how hard the home front man tries to compete with the uniforms for the lady's eye, the con- gress allowed that the service man will win hands down the title of Americas best dressed man of 1922"

ADDITIONAL SPACE
 FOR RATION STAFF
Mattatuck Historical So. ciety to Transfer CuriOs
 Collection

Increased demands for space by the Waterbury Ration Board is forcing the Mattatuck Historical So- ciety to move several collections and curios, Lawrence L. Lewis, board chairman, has announced. The council for the society has approved the plan, thereby giving the ration ing board additional working room. The collections are expected to be placed in the basement of the build ing for the duration of the war.
 In addition to handling gasoline, tires, sugar and less troublesome items such as typewriters and rub Der boots, the board is now going to handle fuel oil rationing. This will mean that additional files and more office help will be needed. The additional working room will allow the board to handle rationing prob iems more efficiently.

The poor response to Pierre Lac

 ures by the Nazis. Above, some
 of the few who responded are

 Arrival of these unwilling strang- CTS never seems to have any out wardly visible effect except to add the color of foreign faces and lan- guages to the otherwise undistin- guished crowds in German cities. PAY IS DOCKED
 WHILE WORKERS WAIT
 Even before Americas entry into the war, let alone the cur rent demands on France, French and Italian worers were the ones most commonly seen in Berlin. Now this is undoubtedly even more true. Probably the best off were the Norwegians and Danes. because they speak German easily and look sufficiently like Germans to be inconspicuous.
 One of the most heart-rending scenes in Berlin before Americas $ entry into the war could be found at the big, dark waiting room Num- Der Four at Berlin's Polizei Praesi- dium.
 Here the voluntary" foreign workers had to wait, hour after hour, interminably, while their pass ports were inspected and stamped with official permission to stay. They might not smoke, they had to talk quietly, and their pay was be- ing docked while they stayed away from their jobs.
 Germany has made no bones about how far she will go in im- foreigng labor into her ranks. The present demands on France are further proof that the Nazis will draft as many ''volun- teers" as their war machine needs. Today these needs are greater than ever before in history.

Good Evening.
A GRAND OLD SCRAP

For days and days we've featured junk, And though the word rhymes it's not the punk Junk and scrap onetime ignored Have been the concern of the earthly horoe Of good Americans true and tried Who are giving away stuh awful enough 10 hoe' Day after day workers have mapped salvage drive with unusableS scrapped Friends and neighbors have entered the race Newspapers have generously donated space. Junk! 1t has made the headlines my gracious! Scrap has been given parking space spacious! Rusted stoves, discarded lead and pipe, Things that no would swipe Are piled sky high these scrappy days, And they blos the landscape to meet the ga1eE No 8 thousand time no and no!
 The the merrier, so away we go To collect these horribles from cellar and attic, Rules on handling are most emphatic Now time is short and we're most done Writing about scrap in prose and rhymed pun We've given it space from boilers to brass rings So now we'll pass to other things. But before close and junk takes the rap, May we remark, it a grand old scrap!

 The Nazis' current demands fol 150,000 French specialists to vol unteer" for work in Germany is mol only an effort to solve Germany's casualty-caused labor shortage, but is also an attempt to take another step towards Hitler's long proclaim ed goal-a feudal system for Europe in which non-G Germans are slaves of the Nazi masters.
 Today probably more than four million men and women, the over whelming majority of them from countries conquered by the Nazis, are in Germany, forced to work at jobs which bolster the Third Reich $ war efforts-and therefore lessen their own countries chances of re- gaining freedom.
 USE WAR PRISONERS
 AS BAIT FOR LABOR
 These workers fall into two nearly equal groups. One half are prisoners of war. men who during the last three years were in the armies opposing Germany. These prisoners are especially useful to the Nazis for bargaining purposes, as witness the current offer to free one French captive for every three French workers who volunteer" to go to Ger many.
 Prisoners of war are useful to Germany as workers, as well. They have been put to various productive jobs, including, espe- cially in the case of the Russian $ open construction and road build ing.
 In addition to the war prisoners, there are probably two million other workers in the Reich who volunteered" to leave their home lands to take jobs there. How voluntary" is this recruiting? An even better example than the current French one (where less than 10 per cent of the number demanded has been found) may be found in the Netherlands.
 When the Netherlands mobilized to meet the Nazi attack in May, 1940, unemployment reached a low of 157,00O = as compared with 369,000 jobless in 1897. After the Netherlands surrender, unemploy- ment rose to 490,000. Suddeny these jobless men and women found themselves confronted, in their homeland, by German labor repre- Sentatives."
 There is no need for you to freeze and starve, said these Nazi agents in effect. There's plenty of work to be done. Just sign on the dotted line" With no alterna- tive to slow, certain death. many of these vanquished unemployed signged - for stated jobs at stated salaries within the Reich.
 The Netherlands case is typical of other countries.
 The Nazi treatment of the new French voluntary workers" will probably follow a long established pattern. When foreign workers arrive in Germany, they are quar- tered in community barracks, eat at community tables. When they live out, or their work requires them to eat out, they are fed

AUTUMN SCENES

Quite recently we took another ride To view again those Autumn scenes, While Nature seems so very busy, Painting orange and red and green. We went through many e little valley And over many hill, While travelling toward the Capitol, Where things seemed 50 strange and still. We went beside that famous river, Which starts from far up north And flows down through the valley To the seashore in the south. We saw SO many of natures paintings Along the old Connecticut shore, Perhaps wel take another ride And view those scenes once more. Sometimes, this great big river Gets tired of the same old bed, And takes another run up higher On the bordering shores, tis said.
