Patrolman Jere Rucco Passes Army Physical Exa1
Deficiencies Again
 Mars Sundays Alert
Four of Incidents Planted Reported to Civilian
 Defense Heads; Educators Facing Problem

Naugatuck, Aug. 24-Deficiencies in the Naugatuck Civilian Defense council showed up again Sunday morning when the third alert of the summer was staged at 11:45 a. m. Harold R. Perry, chief air raid warden, said. The chief said only four out of Il incidents scheduled to be planted" were reported.
 MT. Perry added that all head quarters workers were on duty with the exception of those representing the auxiliary fire department. He said the telephone fan-out system worke,, well, but because of the in- ability to reach certain people or their substitutes, some changes will be made in the near future.
 MT. Perry said the new plan Of having co-air raid wardenS in all districts which was worked out at meeting last Wednesday, has not had time to become effective. He said he expects that within the next few weeks co-air raid wardenS will have been named and will have re- ceived sufficient training so that in the future all incidences actual or planned will be reported.
 As many people were in church when the alert was sounded they were prevented from taking their posts.
 Transportation Problem
 With the possibility that trans portation of school children may be restricted to save gasoline and tires, parents of the Pond Hill and Mill vile districts are wondering wether the Board of Education will re- open the schools in this district. They were closed, despite a storm of protest, a couple of years ago.
 The transportation subject will be considered by the Board of Educa- 1 ton at its September meeting in the Futile House High School of flee of Supt. of Schools H. E. Chit tenden the first Thursday of Sep- tember. Spesific data regarding the restrictions of transportation are still lacking. It has been indicated only children more than two miles distant or physically disabled young sters, will be provided transporta- tion.
 Transportation for Pond Hill children might depend upon what school in town they attend. Only those who reside in the most remote sections of Pond Hill are believed to be more than two miled from Pros pect g -,'eet School. The same applies to many of the Millville children if they attend Rubber avenue school and some of the Millville children have attended Salem School in the past.
 A re-assigment of children who live in the outlying sections of the borough may be undertaken. Many children throughout the borough who have in the past been trans ported to and from school by their mothers and fathers daily will have to walk this year.

SAVE vITAMINS

If you're one who has been pour ing vitamins down the sink (water in which vegetables have been cooked), lose no time about mend ing your ways. Utilize them in soups, hot and chilled, in gravies, stews, and chilled and seasoned vegetable juice cocktails.

TEA ECONOMY TIP

Here's a tea economy tip: When serving iced tea, brew the tea sometime before, regulad strength, so that it may be cooled. then chilled in the icebox. By chilling 1t before serving you will need to add less ice and beverage will con- sequently be less diluted. Thus, there is an economy advantage over using very strong hot brew over crushed ice which requires great CT quantity of tea leaves. One level teaspoon of tea to one cup of rap idly boiling water, steeped for full five minutes, is about right for this purpose.
