MILK DELIVERY TO BE CHANGED
Special Deliveries to Be Banned Completely
 Meeting Here Thursday

Milk deliveries on an "every other day" basis instead of daily loom as probable for Waterbury households after Feb l. Local milk dealers have been called into session at the City Hall Thursday night to vote on the proposal, which is al- ready in effect in several cities as a means of saving tires and of re- ducing wear and tear on delivery trucks.
 The dealers are expected to ap- prove another proposal, calling for the elimination of all special" de- liveries of dairy products to homes, stores or restaurants.
 The meeting Thursday has been called by Morton E. Pierpont, presi- dent of the Waterbury Milk Bottle Exchange. Hartford dealers will also meet Thursday night to discuss the same questions.
 In New Haven, dealers have al- ready voted to halt special deliveries Jan. 12 and to begin every-other- day deliveries to homes Feb. l.
 Sentiment among dealers today seemed strongly in favor of ending the present system of daily deliver- ies. The new plan means that house. holders will have to lay in 8 two . day supply of milk at a time. MT. Pierpont expressed the belief that ending of daily deliveries is the only solution to the problem confronting dealers, since they have been refused special consideration In the tire rationing plan.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 6-New Years resolutions for 1942 may well include a VOW not to succumb to common health fallacies believed tn so generally by the people of this state.
 The Connecticut State Medical so- ciety today called attention to the increased interest in good health methods which Is expected to take place in the nation as a result of Americas entrance into World War II. There are many dangers in re- lying upon the glib sayings and folklore of superstition which have no medical basis in fact.
 For example, a recent survey made by physicians of the health knowledge of group of young men enrolled in the Civilian Conserva- tion Corps brought to light the fact that these men believed implicitly in the following fallacies:
 Eating green apples commonly causes collie.

~oSSNS~~~o instead of a robe, a girding of sack cloth Ca symbol of mourning). Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty men in the war;" Isaiah 3:16-26.
 Isaiah 32:9-10 reads: "Rise up, ye women that are at ease and hear my voice, ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech. For days be- yond year shall ye be troubled ye careless women, for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come"
 As the present war program gath CTS momentum and the burdens up- on the people increase, they will soon understand about the "in- gathering" and why 1t does not come. Various news comments in the press ard over the air plainly show that the nations do not trust one another. Nations who were once allies are now enemies. People are frequently heard to comment on the treatment of little Finland by barbaric Russia. These things are not lost on the minds of many people, neither do they forget how greedy men have lined their pockets with money through the sale of scrap-iron, gasolene and other ma terials sent to Japan, only to have this same material used against the boys who are doing the fight ing. The second and third chapters of Isaiah show that Almighty God is mindful of what is taking place but world events also show that He is not taken into consideration, not yet.
 Note these words in Job 26:7 "He stretcheth out the north over empty space and hangeth the earth upon nothing" What would happen if He moved this "nothing" out of place? Read Isaiah 2:l8-22 and see for yourself.

Procedure To Obtain

Procedures for obtaining priori.

Morris pointed out Wednesday
on his return from a meeting o1
Chamber of Commerce executives
with the War Production Board in
Washington.
Members of the priorities' divi.
sion of WPB explained the tw O
new forms, PD1-A and PD3-A,
which replace five forms previous
ly in use.
Form PD1-A will be used strict
ly on civilian orders and PD3-A on
Army and Navy purchase orders,
according to Mr.. Morris. Forms
can be secured from the War Pro-
duction Board. Samples of h
form may be inspected at the Of
flee of the Greater Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce.
representatives of the Army
and Navy munitions board explain
ed form PD3-A which pertains to
their orders.
One of the outstanding features
of the two new forms, MIR. Morris
explained, is that they are auto
matically extended. A manufacture
er can now group his ratings of
equal grade into single purchase
order.
Mr.. Morris expects to hold pri-
critics clinic in Wilmington soon
to explain the two new forms and
other phases of priority ratings.
He hopes to secure a government
man to aid in the explanations to
interested persons.
While in Washington Mr.. Morris
talked with c. D. Mosher, chief of
editorial staff of publicity division
of Maritime Commission, who this
week is writing the story of the
effect of the Maritime Commis-

PUEBLA, Mexico, Feb. 1S.-(R)-
Astonishing evidence that stars and
planets are still being formed under
the eyes of telescopes was reported
to the Inter-American Astrophysical
Congress here today.
Stars were once supposed to have
been finished billions of years ago.
The evidence for something differ

Whipple, of Harvard observatory.
One of these new stars would be
Betelguese, a red supergiant SO vast
that if the sun were at its center,
the earth's orbit would still be in
side the giant. Stars of this super
giant type are apparently very ten
uous as if made of gas or thinly
spaced particles.
Dr.. Whipple's explanation is based
on recent discoveries Of immense
clouds of dust and gases in space.
He showed, first, that these dust
clouds can condense, and second
