Editor of The Democrat:

Editor of The Democrat:
 The legislator who will fight for a living annual wage is the hope of the poor people, as he raises the curtin of insecurity, so that the light of hope may shine upon them.
 The average politicians are very friendly enemies who agree to dis agree on matters of minor inpor- tance such as tariffs, duties, bus fares and pensions for obsolete con- gressmen, but always lacking cour- age to tackle the real problems, the solving of which would bring new hope to the poor people who com- prise the vast majority of voters and whom the legislator has pledged himself to serve honestly.
 Two of the most important of the real problems to be faced by honest legislators are the living annual wage and United States Govern ment issued coin and currency, which will be predicated on the wealth and value of our nation in- stead of on the debt of the nation.
 Money System
 The money system will be dis cussed in later articles. Following is a partial explanation of the opera tion of the living annual wage plan which applies the Christian princi- pie of allowing man sufficient money for the comforts and neces- sites of life twelve months of the year. This principle is in actual operation in many prosperous in-

 Four Report CeTlteSs
Change in Air Raid Warning System to BeSOG.e
 tive October %; Identification Labels Ready

At a meeting of the air raid ward ems last night at City Hall, Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin stated that the four zone report centers must be manned 24 hours a day. This Is necessary because the change in the air raid warning sys- tenn has not yet been made effec- tive. The new set.up, under which the sirens will be sounded at the alert ss well as on the blackout, will not go into effect until Oct, 26. The new signal will displace many of the telephone warnings which are now being given, but the chief report center will continue to warn some key men by telephone even after the new system takes effect because of the possibility that some may not have heard it.
 MT. Curtin stated at the meet ing that many of the volunteers standing watch at the centers have been forced to do double duty. most particularly on the week-ends and during the early morning hours. At the present. ime, all of the watches must be manned 24 hours a day for the protection of the city, be- cause there is no other way of notifying the emergency groups of an impending alarm. Hardest hit of all defense posts have been the zone centers, Curtin told the ward ems.
 He also reminded the wardens that anyone asking for additional gas rations because of defense &C.,

South Carolina Notifies States of Union of I04z
 "Make-Overs'

South Carolina, lacking steel fo, 1943 registration plates, is attempt ing to solve the problem by taking the front plate of cars registered for 1942, pressing them fiatt, and restamping them.
 South Carolina cars, therefore, will travel with only one registration plate. The Motor Vehicle Division of the Highway Department of that state points out that although close inspection of the 1943 plate reveals the outline of the pressed -out, painted lover 1942 figures, the plates are genuine.
 The name of the state and the year is stamped on the bottom of the plate rather than at the top as formerly. Ordinarily the finished product would arouse the suspicious of police authorities in other states but South Carolina has been care full to notify all states that the 1943 plate is due to the exigencies of war.
 South Carolina registrations ex- pire on October 31.

Boots, Saddle Club
 Playing Big Role. In Benefit Rodeo
Prospect, Conn,
 October IS, 1922.

Prospect, Conn,
 October IS, 1922. Editor of The Democrat:
 A few evenings ago there ap- peared in the Democrat a piece about the rodeo to be held on October 18, at Linde,s Stables, at Bucks Hill. Tn this article the different societies which will take part in the entertainment were all duly mentioned except the one organization most concerned, namely, The Prospect Boots and Saddle Club. This, of course, is no fault of yours as I believe the party responsible for the item in your paper did not mention this club. However, I, as a Prospect resident, feel that the Boots and Saddle Club of Prospect should be given the credit due them as they were the iastigators, and are the sponsors of this rodeo, and i11as- much as the Prospect boys as well as the Waterbury boys now in their country's service, will bene- it from the proceeds of this rodeo.
 am not member of the Pros- pect Boots and Saddle Club, but am lover of justice, and seeing that this worthy club, so far, had all of the expense and all of the headaches connected with an un- dertaking of this kind, and as they were the originators as well as the sponsors of the idea, I feel some one should make it known to the public.
 Some of the members of the club have met with much difficulty in selling tickets to the Prospect people as they are under the im- pression that 1t is only the Wa terbury servicement who will bene- fit, while our own Prospect lads will be left out in the cold.
 will you be so kind as to print this letter in your much-read paper 50 that the truth of the matter may come before the notice of all concerned?
 I am very sincerely yours,
 A Daughter of Prospect.
