LEWIS SPEAKS ON
 'MURDERINC' TIRES
Fast Driving, Quick Stop- ping Put Strain on Tires
 Says Chairman

Killing tires is no art in these days of crude rubber shortage. Ac- cording to Lawrence l.. Lewis ot the Waterbury War Price and Ra- tioning Board, even slightly mur- derous driver can carve the heart out of the average recap in the short space of time 1t takes to cover $5,000 miles.
 Recaps today contain only about two percent of crude rubber. The other 98 per cent is reclaimed "camelback".
 Several rule-of- thumb methods that have proved highly successful if unpatriotic, in the furtherance o1 tire-killing careers are these:
 Driving at high speed. Rounding corners on two wheels. Fast start ing and stopping.
 Brakes stop the wheels" the OPA tire doctor says, "but the tires stop the car. Fast stops leave lotS of rubber on the road"

Somewhere in the sea meadows between the great ports of Ply mouth and Southampton, on the main line of death and destruc- tion from sea or from air, stands at Sherborne in Dorset, England the Convent of Saint Antony.
 Hour after hour Royal Air Force planes wing over it in defense of the white cliffs of Dover and the harbors of Hants. Night after night, in the darkness, it awaits return of those Nazi bombers which have already taken such heavy toll of life in the quiet Dor set countryside. Within it's walls, by day and by night, little group of Catholic Sisters, members of the Order of the Religious of Christian Instruction pray for their Faith.
 Even while death hovers over them, they are planning, with amazing courage and even more amazing hope, for future beyond this time of war. In the course of their work in the teaching of religion they are ever on the alert to find whatever may be of help to their apostolate. Recently they found in the British press an a11- nouncement of the publication by the Commission on American C1ti' zenship of the Catholic University of America, of its Faith and Free dom Series of Readers, for elemen- tary schools.
 In the midst of actual air raids, of continuous war preparations, of recurring threats of invasion, Mother Regis, Superior of the Or der, sent to the Rt. Rev. Msgr, Francis J. Haas, chairman of the executive committee of the Con- mission, a request for copies of the books.
 T have made a note, wrote Mother Regis, that you are about to publish Readers on Christian Social Living. When these are published and If the War is over q fear on account of the ship ping space being required for the needs of the war, it will not be possible before then will you kindly let us have copies Of these

No shortage of teachers for the local schools is expected this fall, Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools, reports, although many sections of the country are faced with difficulty in obtaining instructors. Most of the shortage experienced is for specialized teachers, and it is that department that would be affected in Waterbury if teaching lists should decrease, Dr. Condon said.

METAL IS STILL
 SOUGHT IN TOWN
Permanent Depository Is Named; Leo Orsini Guest
 at Testimonial Dinner
OAKVILLE Correspondent. Irene Slough. Telephone 4-8993

Oakville, Aug. q - Although the one-day state wide metal scrap col lection drive is past, the government continually needs more scrap.
 First Selectman Warren A. Parker has designated the Town Barage on Echo Lake road, WatertoWn, as the depot scrap center. A sign desig- mates the spot. MT. Parker with the salvage committee asks that every one with metal scrap of any kind take it to the depot. Loads of suf- ficient size will be taken to the gov- ernment station in Waterbury. Housewives in Oakville and Water town are asked to start saving tin cans now. There will be an all-day collection about October 10. All cans must be washed, labels removed, both ends cut off, and flattened, but nuts be left open enough so that solution can run through the can, taking off the tin on both inside and outside, leaving the body of the can, which is steel, for metal sal- wage. Rusty cans are not wanted. No cans can be collected which have not been flattened.
 Leo Orsini, well ll-known sportsman of Oakville, was given testimonial dinner at the Town Tavern on Main street last evening. Ralph Orsini was in charge of the affair. Warren Parker, first selectman, was one of the principal speakers. John Miller and Stuart Atwood were also guest speakers. Over 150 attended. MT. Orsini will be married on Saturday, at Our Lady of Lourdes church, Waterbury, to Miss Angeline De- Cosmo, of Waterbury.
