Hilarious Games
Are Feature of
New Years Eve

Unusual interest in a New Years
party can be created by an an
nouncement from the hostess that
there will be a good luck New
Years cake.
The New Years cake occupies the
position Of honor in the center Of
the table when the guests assemble
for midnight lunch. Inside the
cake is baked a thimble, a silver
coin and a ring.
Each person present gets a slice
Of cake. The fun begins when the
finder of the ring is announced as
sure to be married soon, the finder
Of the thimble to stay single and the
lucky one who finds the coin to have
a future Of wealth and prosperity.
New Years Puzzle.
New Years Puzzle" is the name
Of a game that will find favor with
holiday merrymakers. 1t calls for
some ingenuity and resourcefulness
and the results are always interest
ing.
The party guests are divided into
four or five groups. Each per-
son in a group is numbered. The
leader then calls a number and then
asks a question. The answer must
include a word containing the name
Of New" The person who first
answers correctly is given a point
for his team.
A typical question might be:
Name a nerve disease containing
the sound of new" The correct
answer would be Neuralgia.
Other questions and answer
might include: Impartial: Neutral;
A city in New Jersey: Newark;
Pertaining to air: Pneumatic; Per-
tanning to a number: Mineral; That
which annoys: Nuisance; Many:
Numerous; A center: Nucleus; An
animal: Gnu; A Virginia City:
Newport News; A famous Philoso-
pher: Newton; Nourishing: Nutri-
tiOus.
Cardboard Hour Glasses.
Since New Years witnesses a sig
nificant passage of time, an inter-
esting game called Hour Glass" is
appropriate to any celebration of the
day.
Before the party group assem-
bles, the hostess has hidden all over
the room tiny cardboard hour
glasses. On each of these is writ
ten a different fragment of time
such as IS minutes; one hour and 20
minutes; seven seconds; two days.
One guest who is designated as
Father Time announces that con
siderable time has been lost during
the year and that the winning point
will be given to the team whose
members find most of the lost time.
A search lasting three to five min
utes follows, players scouting all
over the room to find the hidden
hour glasses. When the hunting
period is over, the leader calls a
halt and the team with the COM
pilation of the longest amount of
time wins.

Later Proof

At the time this didn't seem tc
make much sense.
But Hutson cleared this Stanford
team of any defense deficiency If
later years when he came to the
Packers.
For eight years he has completely
bafled and bewildered the best pass
defense the pros could throw againsf
him.
Football has never seen anything
like him. Ask any pro.
Part of the ansWer-At Alabama
Hutson could run the hundred in g
shade better than 9.8. He coulG
high jump six feet.
He has hands made of glue. He
has a body feint that is unbelievable
Above all, he has iris Speakers
knack of Judging the balls flight to
a foot-and getting there. He doesn't
have to follow the ball with his eye,
He knows where to be at the split
second, cutting in or out. Ask Curly
Lambeau, George Halas or Steve
Owen.
Opposing players play Hutson
Hutson plays the ball. I once saw
him take a 62-yard pass from Isbell,
fake out three men covering him,
put on a final sprint and run for q
goal-to-goal touchdown. And this
was against the All-Stars. The best
from all the other teams.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
I'D you know that thou
sands Of our fighting
- men are being saved
by transfusions of the blood
sent out to the battle fronts
by their friends at home?
In the horror of this war
could there be a more Won
derful note of sympathy and
comradeship than this, that
the life that runs so secure
and safe and warm in your
veins should be shared with
some great fallen giant of a
boy, who lies white and un-
conscious in a faraway hos
pital, breathing quietly low
err and lower toward death,
until the help that YOU send him,
from your quiet home town, begins
to flow in his veins again?
Surely all modern science has
given us no greater miracle; that
those of us who cannot wear uni
forms and sail away on the great
ships can have our actual living part
in the great struggle, through the
plasma-the technical name of the
fluid part of the blood-which is
dried and sent to our sons.
But you haven't contributed yet?
Why, what do you mean? You have
been hearing about it and reading
about it, but somehow you didn't
ever clearly get it into your head
what it was all about, you didn't
get round to it?
Well, then, put this paper down
and 60 telephone Mary Brown, who
is one Of the higher-ups in the Red
Cross. Ask her where the Blood
Bank is. And 60 there tomorrow.
Go there, by appointment, Of
course, four hours after you've eat
en- a hearty, normal meal. Drink
all you want of water and fruit juice
in between the meal and going to the
Blood Bank, no rich drinks or milk.
A Pint of Blood.
They prick your arm, at the Blood
Bank, and draw off a pint of the
blood that means life for some moth
er's son. Perhaps yours. And that
initial prick is all you pay in pain
for this experience, and that hour Of
going and coming is all you pay in
time. After the blood is taken they
give you a hot drink and a sand
wich, and that's all you do for two
or three months, when you do it all
over again.
The blood is evaporated. packed
off to the %far-flung hospitals Of the
war fronts, and-as a surgeon-doctor
told me, when he came back from
Australia a few weeks ago, Just the
knowledge that it is there, plenty
of it, the difference between
life and death to the DOCTORS" They
mix this plasma with water, and pour
it into the draining veins of the
heroes who are brought in white and
unconscious; and the color comes
back to those ashen cheeks. and the
boy opens his eyes and perhaps NUT
tiers a surprised whats cooking?"
Yet I know one eastern city in
which three hundred thousand per-
fectly strong and healthy men and
women between the ages of 10 and
so r going about. placidly uncon-
scious that there are such things as
Blood Banks. Many of these good
folk arr the ones who continually
say MY dear, I'd be delighted to

History Sanctions
New Years Visiting

The custom Of calling on ones
friends on New Years day to wish
them prosperity and happiness has
the sanction of history behind it.
From Colonial times to the pres.
ent day New Years has been a day
of great significance. The Presi.
dents have received the public at
great receptions on that day and
the custom Of visiting friends has
been passed down.

This Stanford team along the
ground was giving Alabama a fine
raking over.
1t had speed and power, drive anc

force.
But against this, Stanford was
taking a murderous beating through
the air.

There were two reasons-Dixie
Howell. Alabama's passer, and Dor
Hutson. Alabama's phantom end.
Howell tipped - and Hutson
snagged.
On several occasions I saw Keith

that he never had a chance to han

defense.

"We'd be all around him. We knew

something would happen suddenly.

Unpardonable Stupidity

Even the connoiSSeur in bureaucratic stupidity finds it difficult to comprehend these customs officials who insisted that Canadian troops, rushing westward to help us repel the Japanese threat to Dutch Harbor and Alaska, must pay duty on spare uniforms and military equipment before they could cross the border. The JapS seized two of the Aleutian Islands, which they have held for month and whence they have moved on to a third. Hut that didn't faze the treasury repre- SentativeS. They stood by their guns ana asked Washington for ruling.
 Lawyers juggled ponderous tonnes and checked cross references. Sure enough, they found, Canadian troops can't come into the U. S. to help us against blitz- krieging Japs unless they pay duty. The State Department was asked to assist. The Japs were coming, but the revenue law was well drawn. It had no loopholes.
 Fortunately old Jedge Hull of Tennessee was around In fact, he was head of the Department of State. With tongue in cheek, we have no doubt. Jedge Hull gravely dictated a two-page memorandum explaining that the Canadian soldiers were distinguished visitors and, as such, were entitled to waiver of duties. The situation was saved But what stupidity - what gross bureaucratic ineptitude! No wonder the heroes of Bataan, Singa- pore and Burma, when they land on our shores, protest that: "This is bloody war and the people at home don't seem to know it." No wonder Lieutenant Will liam M Bower, who helped to bomb Tokyo, took off his gloves when he ad- dressed Cleveland Kiwanians who had been worrying whether to enjoy half day picnic or an all-day boat ride.
 The boys at the front aren't having plcnics, said he. He wants to go back to the fighting front, where the men realize that wars aren't won with boatrides, va cations from the production lines, battles oyer parity prices, 70-mile an hour. joy riding on irreplaceable rubber tires, attempts to collect duties from soldiers coming to our assistance in time of peril.
 "Hell," says wounded officer from the Far East, i've haven't begun to win the war yet, and we're talking about how we will set down the peace terms We've got to get down in the mud and fight like hell, and believe me, we've got to do 1t pretty soon." And cut out the boon- doggling.

Expand the Inquiry

Representative LeRoy Downs of Nor walk is said to be planning to interrogate members of the National Housing Agency and the War Production Board on the chances of securing materials for home construction in Connecticut. We hope that MT. Downs is fully aware of con- ditions in not only his own district but generally throughout the state He should, for one thing, realize that home construction is virtually at standstill, the reasons therefore being numerous.
 In some instances materials are avail able; in others builders can't get priori- ties on critical materials, although they have the "go' signal otherwise. In many instances Would-be home-oWners can't even secure permission from the Federal Housing Authority for construction of home, although it might conform with all the requirements demanded. The an- nouncement of this past spring that home building up to 5000 ceiling is a joke.
 All these things and more, too, MT. Downs and other Connecticut Congress- men ought to place squarely in front of the faces of all officials in Washington who have anything to do with housing in defense areas There will have to be something done about the situation if the war is prolonged. It can't all be handled by the so-called housing projects, whether they are government or privately-fi- nanced. There will have to be certain amount of private home building. The sooner the government recognizes this fact and takes steps to permit it, the better off such states as Connecticut, where war manufacturing is reaching peak and housing a critical stage, will be-.

 Thus the run-around con. tinueS.
 Some of this run-around may be necessary. Obviously it is no easy job to build up a rubber in duStry overnight for the greatest rubber consuming nation in the world. But even allowing for excusable mistakes and delays, 1t seems inconceivable that there should have been so much stailing, 50 many failures to try out diff. ferent patents, and such appar. ent discrimination in favor of dif- ferent groups and different patent pools.

Via Air Lanes

There's no doubt but what this war will definitely establish the air plane as a factor in our transportation system. Any one who has continued to dispute this during the past few years which wit messed the spread of airlines all over the world will find himself one of a small minority once the din of battle has ceased and civilian pursuits are again in order. Waterbury, we note, has been designated terminal in air courier service to be conducted by the Civil Air Patrol which is not augmenting the fine work of patrol duty being done through out New England by the air forces of the Army and Navy, as well as the Coast Guard.
 Courier service, as now designed, will be primarily for war manufacturers. Its aim is to facilitate quick passage between air terminals of vital necessities, such as blueprint or machine part or even merely message. This may not seem important to everyone, but it is a real service in every meaning of the word. It spells cooperation, the kind that is needed to bring victory to the Allied Nations. Without making use of every thing at our command We can't hope to cope with the dictatorial powers for many long years of bloody warfare.
 Americans, of course, shouldn't need proof that aviation is wide open for de- velopment and is beckoning to thousands of young men as profession in which they can find good employment. The day will come, too, we think, when cities like Waterbury, highly industrialized, will find their high schools forced to rec ognize the need of specialized courses that will prepare young men and young women for the profession of aviation not just the business of flying plane, but everything involved.

Guarding the CoastIine

McClelland Barclay is a lieutenant commander in the naval reserve, better known for his magazine covers and other artistic products. Also, he is dog lover, and has been doing series of posters to publicize the use of dogs in the war. Bar clay has come up with an idea that seems well worth considering
 Obviously, we can't assign enough men to watch all the lonely spots where Nazi saboteurs could land from submarines. Barclay suggests that trained dogs, in shelters at intervals of quater-mile, with coast guardsman for every three miles, would prove invaluable as sentries on the coast. There may be objections which do not occur to US Still, the idea should not be dismissed lightly.
