Sfricter Censorship
OF Press Dispatches
Exaggerated Messages
Sent Recently From
London Are Blamed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSociAtec Press.
LONDON March 26.-Brendan
Bracken, Minister of Information,
announced today there would bs
stricter censorship on press dis
patches leaving Great Britain.
Speaking in the House Of Com
mons, he said this action was being
taken in response TO concern in
some quarters over allegedly cir
responsible and exaggerated mes
sages" sent from London in recent
weeks.
He said the restriction also would
apply to the representatives of Brit.
ish dominion and colonial papers,
that the dominions had been in
formed, and added:
There Is no intention whatever
Of preventing criticism. What I
have to do is to stop distortion of
our war effort here, which has
caused CONSERVATION in some Of our
dominions, upset our friends every
where, and has been eminently use
full to DR.. Goebbels.
Complaints Force Change.
His announcement said:
THE prevalence of such complaints
against exaggerated dispatches)
fro mabroad made it necessary for
the government recently to review
the position and to inquire into
the adequacy of instructions at
present given to censors in regard
to outgoing messages Of harmful
character
messages going abroad has been
confined to interception of any in
formation likely to be useful to the
enemy in a military sense. This
Is what we mean when We speak Of
security censorship.
Secondly, it has always been un-
derstood that with the exception Of
cases of some serious infringement
of security by publication in this
country, correspondents are free
| to send abroad extracts of anything
which has once been published at
1 home.
These rules have, 7 regret to say.
proved not altogether adequate for
the protection of certain essential
interests of this country abroad.
where on several occasions the true
position has been gravely misrep-
resented and stories emanating from
London have been published which
would only foment i'll feeling be-
tween ourselves and our Allies or
neutral countries.
Stricter Control Ordered.
in the future censors will be en-
powered to exercise stricter control
with a view to stopping any press
message calculated to foment i'll
feeling between the United Nations
or between them and neutral
country, a measure which is sure
essential in time of war.
Similarly extracts from home
publications which are submitted for
cabling abroad will in the future be
subject to the same rules of CEN
sorship now applied to the case Of
original material.
There is no intention or desire
to apply these new instructions in
any arbitrary or unreasonable man.
ner. They are, in fact, designed.
solely to prevent the outside world
from receiving distorted picture
of conditions and events in this
country and to protect this countrys
essential interests.
1T will be seen that the altera-
tions contemplated in no way affect
the home press"

We believe this is carrying IL
a little too far. They will tire

they will not be worn. The
jeweler will show you the latest

IL Is always good judgment in
this important item to follow
the more conservative fashions.
Consult JeweIer
The intrinsic value will have

reason those who have only so
much to spend should take the
jeweler into their confidence.
He is used TO this and can ad-
wise one expertly.
The groom may like 10 keep

a few rings set aside for the
brides approval.
She will then accompany him
or go by herself to the store and
select one of the designs. At
this time she will let the jeweler
measure her finger for size.
The same procedure applies
when the bride buys the ring as
in the double ring ceremony and
all selections may be made at

wear his ring on the fourth

little finger. The little finger
is preferred at this time, but

Engagement Rings
Engagement rings need not be

bride may prefer emeralds,

groom can afford. Any pretty
ring should be treasured regard

If he can't afford a big dia-

with a tiny one, or even semi
precious stone. He will give her
more important jewels when he
is established in a profitable
business.
Styles in settings change

necessary TO consult the jeweler

Double Ring Wedding
Ceremony Being Revived
BY DONNA GRACE

AMONG THE old customs
revived at this time is the
charming double ring ceremony.
This custom Of the groom hav-
ing his ring as well as the bride
is timely when so many of the
grooms may be leaving for serv-
ice. They should have their
ring for remembrance. and we
know il will be a real comfort
10 them while they are away.
II is the bride who buys the
ring for her husband. He pre-
sents her with a ring at the
ceremony in the usual way and
both rings are put on at the
same time during the ceremony.
There should be no surprises
considered when il comes 10
making the ring purchases. That
is. the bride should have an OPP
portunity TO express her prefer
ence in the style Of ring.
Most Sentiment
While some young moderns
like the diamond-studded band.
there is more sentiment in the
plain or carved gold. The plain
band is preferred. Gold is the
favored metal at the present. A

ANIMALS for City Gardens
To Avoid Transplan+ing
Sow Seeds in Egg Shells

u CERTAIN ANIMALS dislike
or resent being moved. A few
Of them simply lay down and
die If transplanted; the dis
turbance Of their roots seems
TO be too much for them. There
are two ways OF getting around
this.
The first Is to sow them in
the spot they are to bloom and
In this way avoid moving them.
The second is very old-fashioned
which does not make 1t less
practical.
This is to sow the seeds in
halves of egg shells (empty OF
egg. needless to say) and grow
them indoors until all danger
of frost is past. When the time
comes to set them in the ground
where the plants are to grow,
simply crush the egg shells very
lightly in your hand and plant
them, egg shell and all.
Double Cross
Crushing the shells cracked
them, and as the plant grows.
its roots will find these cracks
and force their way through TO
the soil beyond. -
This IS what is known as a
double cross, because the roots
of the plants are disturbed not
a bit. but the plant is trans
planted from one place to an
other.
This method Is useful too with
hard-to-move plants other than
ANIMALS.
All of the plants in this class
may be moved on occasion. but
all of them resent IL and moving
will greatly slow their future
growth. Included In this class
90 ANNALS are calliopsis, Cali
sfornia peoples. annual poppies
bf all types. baby's breath,
Imignonette and nasturtiums.
Border Plants
Calliopsis make a fine and
rather unusual cut flower and a
good border plant. Annual

ABLE ANSONIANS MEET CROSBY AT STADIUM
Game Set for 3:15 P. M.; YarnaII Not to Play;
 StratfOrd at Naugy

Though Bill schofield's Crosby High school football club, trained for the 1942 season is guessed to bs the most promising of the three To- cal grid scontingents, much remainA to be seen, beginning Saturday afternoon, when Crosby, with two experienced backs and pair of de- pendable ends, takes the field at Municipal Stadium against an A1- sonia High array that shut out Shelton 32-0 in its first test week ago.
 The Crosby-Ansonia game has been timed for starting at 3:15 p. m. with three local officials, F. T. Win. cent; Patrick Slattery and Joseph O'Connor to run the game as ref- cree, umpire and lineSman.
 All the weeks steam" let of by the registration of ePte Yarnall, Wilbys able passer and running back of last season seems to be so much wishful thinking. for the Crosby coach has not seen hide nor hair of Yarnall at the grid drills which is where he must be if he is to do Crosby any good this season. Yarnall was banged up badly last year, had an injured leg in the Crosby game, though it was his pass to Jackie SiZer that defeated Cros- by, which finished the game on the two yard line and was prevented from an apparent sure score by the watch of the timekeeper.
 Resting Up
 It may be that Yarnall has de- cided to forget football until he goes to college, in the meantime giving his under-pins a deserved rest, and after a busy softball sea- son, he may not want to plunge in- to football.
 Captain Tony Lombard, McDon- aid, Hummell and Nichols looks like the starting backfield for Crosby with Fasanelh and McSherry on the ends; Shemkovich and ePtrokaitis the tackles; and Kennedy in ths center of the line. Rosa looks like starter at one guard post, while the other is uncertain until tomor- row.
 Borough Game
 At Naugatuck, the Stratford High school lads are due in the Rubber Borough Saturday, to take crack at Pete Foley's 1942 machine which is reportedly well-oiled with veteran material, Mass and Kevit in the backf1eld being especially leaned upon for points, while Jackie Kis- sane of the Naugy championship hoop troupe may show some real grid class before long. Freddy Gould will be the field general. Wilby does not open until next week Saturday against Ansonia, which is why Coach Jimmy Lee his football squad and two stenogs will probably be on hand as interested spectators at the Crosby -Ansonia test tomorrw.
 Leavenworth is slated to start grid proceedings Friday night of next week against New Haven Conner cial in night game at the local Municipal Stadium.
 Tickets for Crosby -Ansonia are B cents in advance 55 at the gate and 40 to students.
