JENNINGS, ELkS WIN
 ON MAPLE
Two Douglas Teams Invade Juneau Gym, Eagles,
 High School lose

The or Pot is still boiling, ano after the buildup given Sammy Nel- son yesterday as man of peace l too
 For the second night in row Simmering Sam led his Douglas Eagles across the Channel last night, and this time there was a gleam in his eye. He went home with mud in it, the visiting basket ballers losing to the Elks, 56-45.
 Things went smoothly enough for the Islanders in the first quarter which wound up at 12-l2, but the second period brought penalty after penalty from Referee Hal Hessis The second time the whistle caught Sammy blocking, the or Pot boiled over and let off steam-he grabbed Hessig by the shirt, threatening var ious and assorted vengeances. The whistle benched him until near the end of the game, charging a tech nical foul on grounds of islander, assault with flashing tongue and untoward ambitions.
 Lindenmeyer Is Hot
 Things might have been different if Nelson had stayed in the game, ecause Fred Lindenmeyer and Nielsen didn't start to roll for the Elks until after the fiery Islander got the bounce. By the time Sam my returned, there was no stopping Lindenmeyer, who was hotter than Sammy's temper. The high school coach racked up 26 points, followed by Nielsen's 21.
 Gerry Cashen was the top man for the Eagles, dropping in seven field goals and free throw. while Sammy came right behind him with six baskets and two free throws for IA points. Mark Jensen collected seven counters.
 After Arnell left the Elk quintet on fouls, the B.P.O.E. peppers play ed with four men, defying the Eagles offer to let them use Arnell to finish the game-if they'd for felt the game afterward. With Lindenmeyer hot, the Elks didn't need five men.
 Jennings Snap Back
 The other game of the evening saw the Hennings snap back into winning shape to trounce Douglas High, 34-23. Close checking and poor shooting on both sides kept the scores low, countless shots whipping the blackboard and bounc- ing back into play as marksmen on both teams failed to find the range.
 Johnny Krugness and Joe Bird returned to the maple wars for the Jennings and proved an effective combination to support Corcoran who led the scoring with Il points Best man the prepsters could offer was Frank Cashen. who landed eight points.
 The Douglas lads, showing plenty of ability in floor work, couldn't seem to find the basket, but with their own gym now in shape, they'll probably sharpen up on the follow through. Gordy Bristol of the Hen- nings, who didn't get point Mon- day night against the Bremen snared two baskets and kept the ball working for his teammates.

Protection of Children

The action being taken by
both the Smyrna and the Clay
ton schools in providing ident-
ifcation tags for all school
children is a defense measure
worthy of praise.
The distribution of these
tags is for the child's protec-
ton, and not to be taken light
ly.
Therefore, let the parents
of these children help the
school authorities by encour-
aging the constant wearing OF
these tags, and by impressing
upon their children's minds
the Importance of such a pro-
cedure.
Parents-cooperate!

NEW BUILDING
RESTRICTIONS
Construction of Masonry To
Be Restricted to One or
Two Stories
WOODEN STRUCTURES

Buildings to be constructed I'M
der the Defense Public Works pro-
gram in Delaware and other States
will, in the future, be restricted to
one and two-story masonry and
one-story wooden structures to con-
serve materials needed for arma-
ments production, c. L. Vickers,
regional director of the FWA De-
tense Public Works Division, an
nounced today. The new basic con-
struction policy, formulated by
Acting Federal Works Admins
traitor Baird Snyder III, will apply
to schools, hospitals, firehouses and
virtually all other types of defense
public works buildings for which
contracts have not yet been award
ed, Director Vickers said. Where
the need appears to be temporary,
buildings will be constructed of
God except in areas subject to
envy action. For the latter, mas
ny construction will be recon-
n4ended. Specifications have been
worked out for basic masonry
unit with concrete foundation and
floor set over a gravel fill. Sixteen
inch concrete pillars will support a
concrete roof. The walls may be
of concrete, cinder blocks or brick.
Windows will be of wood, set flush
with the outside of the wall. In
two-story buildings, concrete stairs
or ramps will give access to the
second story. The buildings will be
fireproof and bomb-resistant. Sim
liar specifications have been pre-
pared for two types of wooden
structures, one temporary type of
building and the other fire-resistant
1nd more permanent. Auditorium
gymnasium units required for
schools will be built of wood and
connected to the basic masonry
buildings by covered passageways.
In announcing the new policy, Di-
rector Vickers gave two reasons
for limiting the height of DPW
buildings to two stories. For one
thing, he said, taller buildings
would require steel framework.
For another, motor-driven elevators
are out for the duration of the war.

FACTS ABOUT

Carbon MOnexide Kills Many

Color Enters Thru Lungs
A STEALTHY KILLER

Deaths due to the ABSORPTION of
poisonous gases totaled 1896 in one
year in this country, says the State
Board of Health, quoting the 1941
edition of Accident Facts" and
warns that such deaths are at their
highest level in the winter. During
the cold months poisonous gas
deaths range from 13 per cent to
16 per cent of the total of acct
dental deaths while in summer they
drop to only 4 per cent of the en-
tire number of deaths by accident.
You can't see tit has no vapor

other fuels containing carbon are
incompletely burned carbon mon

garages, workshops and strikes it's
victims silently, warns the State
Board of Health, for people are apt
to be much more careless about
ventilation when the weather is
cold. When there is plenty of pure
oxygen and the air is in motion,
carbon monoxide mixes with it and
it can do no harm. Releaed in
closed places, carbon monoXide is a
deadly poisoner-ready to strike
any oxygen breathing creature
within reach. There were 302 ac-
cidental deaths from carbon mon
oxide poisoning associated with
automobiles in garages in one year
according to the 1941 edition of
Accident Facts" In addition to
these acknowledgement cases, 563
deaths resulted from accidental in
halation of Illuminating gas and
1853 were ascribed to carbon mon

FINAL DEFEAT
 OF AXIS SEEN
President in Armistice Talk Says Conquered Na-
 tiOns Are Joining Us
(NEA Telephoto)

Washington, Nov. l1.-CUP)- President Roosevelt reported on this Armistice day that United Nations forces were being joined by large numbers" of French troops in war which is certain to end in "in- evitable, final defeat" of the Axis.
 Speaking in the amphitheater of the Arlington National cemetery overlooking the tomb of the Un- known Soldier, MT. Roosevelt re- membered with gratitude the brav- cry of the men who fought and helped to win that fight against German militarism" in 1918.
 To-day, Americans and their Bri- tish brothers-in-arms are again fighting on French soil" the Presi- dent said. "They are fighting against a German militarism which transcends hundred fold the bru- tality and barbarian of l9l8."
 Declaring that forces of Nbera- ton are advancing" MT. Roosevelt said Britain, Russia, China and the United States grow rapidly to full strength-the opponents of de- cency and justice have passed their peak"
 "And-as the result of recent events-the United Nations forces are being joined by large numbers of the fighting men of our tradi- tional ally, France. On this day of all days, it is heartening for us to know that soldiers of France go forward with the United Nations"
 The President said "the Nazis of today - and their appropriate as- sociates, the Japanese-have at- tempted to drive history into reverse to use all the mechanics of mod ern civilization to drive humanity back to conditions of prehistoric savagery.
 'They sought to conqueh the world, and for time they seemed to be successful in realizing their boundless ambition. They over-ran great territories" he continued '"They enslaved-they killed.
 But, today, we know and they know that they have conquered nothing. Today. they face in- evitable, final defeat"
 Standing lin the presence of the honored dead" MT. Roosevelt said that those who gave their lives ir the last war did not do so merely to defend their American homes flor the moment that was passing"
 The ceremonies at Arlington Ma tional cemetery were attended by many notables, including Gen. John J. Pershing, commader of the AEF of 1917-18.

State Defense Administrator Wes- ley A. Sturges today designated Tuesday of each week as Meat Conservation Day" in Connecticut in furtherance of the request of sev- eral war agencies of the federal government to enlist the voluntary participation of all persons in the country in the national "Share-the- Meat Program
 In a letter to all mayors and se- lectmen of Connecticut cities and towns, MT. Sturges asked for the cooperation of those officials in proclaiming Tuesday as meat con- servation day. in their own com- munities and "to request proprie- tors of all hotels, restaurants and all other eating establishments vol untarily to refrain from serving any beef, pork or veal on Tuesday of each week until further notice" |"
 The request from MT. Sturges is not for a "meatless day" but rather for a meat conservation day" be- cause of shortage of supply in these three meat categories.
 In his letter to the local authori- ties, MT. Sturges said in part:
 This request is made of you to aid in furthering the common shar- ing of the especially restricted sup ply of those particular meats at the present time and equitably to dis tribute the deficiency in the suplpy of these meats throughout the state of Connecticut"
 Administrator Sturges also asked the public officials to appeal to "all citizens and residents within your city or town to limit their con- sumption of all meats to a quota of not to exceed two and one-halt pounds per adult or adolescent per week until further notice"
 The request for this voluntary sharing of meat by all persons by limiting their quota to two and one half pounds 8 week comes from several war agencies of the fedora government including: The Fooc Requirement. Committee of the Wal
