1 service man, and noy by an amateur. It may seem almost unnecessary to point out that wooden or other con- bustible containers should not be used for hot ashes, but the fact is that many serious accidents are caused in just this way. And this winter the temptation to use such unsuitable receptacles may very well be increased if the shortage of men and vehicles to haul away the ashes should result in less frequent collec- tions.
 After all the warnings that have been issued, the statisticians point out that each year many persons are killed as the result of starting fire in grate or stove by pouring ker- osene on the fuel. For this foolhard practcie there is no excuse whatso- ever. Then again, since many more open fireplacs will be in use this winter than usual, the statisticians warn of the danger from flying sparks Open fireplaces should be completely screened in. Since un- doubtedly many. more supplement CdLy SIlld14 Sd01 c4cGI14C UT O1A AcdL- CTS will be used, it is well to be warned that these resent special dangers to people brushing against them or falling over them, and sus- taining severe personal injuries or even setting the house on fire.
 Tn the use of gas or oil heaters without flues and in poorly venti- lated rooms there is the further ser- ious danger of asphyxiation by car- bon monoxide gas. The danger of gas poisoning may be further in- creased this year because, under the necessity of saving fufel, many peo- pie who ordinarily leave a few win- dows open even in the dead of win ter will be tempted to sleep with the windows wholly closed"
 The statiticians conclude, 'Tt Is better to be uncomfortably cold for short period than to take chance with 8 makeshift heating arrange ment."

CITY DEPARTMENTS
 SUPPORTING DRIVE
Mayor Scully Issues Spe. Cial Appeal'for COOpera-
 tiOn in Vital Effort

Letters have been sent to all city departments by Mayor Vincent A Scully, chairman of the Waterbury Defense Council, urging them to cooperate with the scrap metal drive as much as possible.
 Mayor Scully wrote that there is an accumulation of spare parts thrown into some corner on the chance that. they may of some day be useful in every home and busi- ness and even in the city depart ments. He said that al lof the ma terials should be weeded out and turned in to the scrap drive. He added that i've can worry about re- placements after we have won the war"
 That the scrap shortage is very serious is pointed out by figures re- leased by the American Iron ant Steel Institute. The institute an. nounced that the shortages in stee and iron scrap in just seven day. was enough to build three 10000 tor cruisers. This slackening of pro duction is almost as bad as having the three cruisers sunk in battle.
 It is vital that every person ir Waterbury start looking around their homes and business establish ments at once for scrap metal anc placing it aside for collection day In that manner only will the great est amount of scrap be turned in or Oct. IT.

BRASS CITY MAY
 GET ODT OFFICE
Committee Thinks Chances {, for Success Favorable
 at Present

Plans for establishing an onice of Defense Transportation infor- nation bureau in this city are al- most certain of being fulfilled, Har- old J. Horan, chairman of a loca. truckers committee on creating the of1ce, stated.
 The ofIice will furnish truckers coming into the city with informa- ton on where to obtain loads for return trips. In many cases, fed- eral regulations prohibit them from driving more than 25 miles without any freight.
 Even though the ODT approves of tho office, the expense of operat- ing 1t must be born by the truck CTS who are aided in locating freight by the office. It will be operated on 8 non-profit basis, Horan said.
 Final negotiations with ODT off, cials will be made next week.

The board, which has jurisdiction over all draft registrants in the fifth ward, has elected Arthur Blewitt to serve as it's chairman.
 Certification of MT. Pugra's ap- pointment has been received from national Selective Service headquar- ters at Washington and state head quarters at Hartford.
 Mir. Schiavone and Attorney Hugo Guastaferri, a legal advisor for 16-B, were suspended by Brigadier-Gen- eral Lewis B. Hershey several months ago after allegations that registrants were being charged by MT. Guastaferri for legal advice. Tthe latter claimed that MT. Schia- vone had told him he had a letter authorizing the practice.
 This week a federal grand jury at New Haven indicted Attorney Guastaferri, and he will go on trial in U. s. district court in November.
