Chamber of Commerce. Upham is the Chambers traffic engineer and manager of its conservation bureau.
 Working with O'Connell's com nlittee, he already has formulated detailed plan for establishment of ride-sharing in all defense plants employing 100 or more workers, Bowles added.
 Upham's plan divides Connecticut into ten districts, each including from eight to no factories. One to ten volunteer workers will oper- ate in each district as organizers of ride-Sharing committees.
 These volunteers will be selected by the chairmen of O'Connell's sub- committees, already active through out the state in handling transpor- tation problems that have arisen with the influx of defense workers.
 Carrying Upham's organizational plan, the volunteers, after setting up ride-sharing committees in every defense factory in their district, will provide the committee members with OPA regulations governing the certification of automobiles for sup plemental gas, tire recaps and Grade 3 tires.
 When the ride-share committees begin to function" Bowles declared. they will make 1t easier for work

CTS, living a distance from public ansportation routes, to obtain the gasoline and rubber necessary to carry them to and from their jobs.
 Under the sharing plan, any worker who can show his local OpA War Price and Rationing Board a, certifcation from his factory com mittee will receive preferred atten- tion, because the board will then know he is doing his part in con- serving gas and rubber by sharing his car with fellow workers"
 Daily Contacts
 During the organIza tional period, the volunteer organizers will report progress, and problems back to the sub committees of O'Connell's transportation conservation commit tee with whom Upham will be in daily contact.
 Before Upham;s services were do- mated temporarily to the OPA, he successfully engineered sharing groups in Hartford among insurance companies and department stores.
 '"The aim behind this statewide plan," Bowles said, lis to educate the workers in the necessity of con- serving gasoline and tires and in easing the transportation problem bound to confront him unless ride sharing is firmly established soon."

REPORT GIVEN ON
 AIR RAID EVENTS
Army Stages Realistic Show at Polo Grounds;
 Curtin Attends

Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin described the air raid show put on by the army at the Polo Grounds in New York on Monday night to local wardens at meet ing in City Hall last night. He de- Scribed the methods used by various squads in handling incendiary and other bombs. SupC. of Streets Her bert Scott-Smith, chief of the em- ergency services of the local coun- cil, accompanied Curtin to New York.
 Also discussed at the meeting were the new plans being prepared to sound air raid sirens on the alert as well as on the red" However no action will be taken until the results of tests in many small towns throughout the state are received.
 Additional arm bands were dis tributed to zone wardenS last night. Curtain again asked those who have not yet obtained Identification cards to do so immediately. He also stated that all those who already have bands and identification cards and are not active in the air raid protective system must return them at once since it is a violation of a federal law to retain possession of them.
 In his position of superintendent of Parks, Curtin will attend the War Recreation Congress in Cincinnati Monday through Friday. Methods of providing recreation for indus trial workers will be discussed at the Congress. Also plans will be made for establishing emergency recreation programs during air raids, blackouts, evacuation and ep- idemicS.
 MT. Curtin will speak on "War- time Problems and Use of Municipal and State Parks" at the Congress on Tuesday. Accompanying him to the Congress will be Alan Curtiss, director of industrial and personnel relations of the scovill Mfg. O., who will speak on Recreation for Industrial Workers from the View point of Industry"
 The assignment of medical dee fense stations has been completed by Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, Curtin announced. The stations will be Io- cated at:

LAPS FIGHT IN SOLO ONIONS WITH LATEST ARMS
By ROBERT Q. MTLLFR

xDNAteu EFeSS StAM G0frcSpOmQentl
 Marine Headquarters, Solomon Islands, Aug 24 (delayed) (UP)- Examination of war materials cap tured in the Battle of the Sololnons reveals that the Japanese soldier is equipped with the best arms ob- tainable for his campaign of con- quest.
 The latest implements of death have been given the Japanese fight ing man by a nation that has sacri- iced every possible luxury in order to create an armory equal to or better than that of the United Ma tionS. The result of these sacrifices was much in evidence in the Solo mons.
 The Japanese technical equipment in nearly every case was equal in quality to that used by the United Nations and in many cases super for. In no instance was any of the captured material found to be of filmsy design or operation. It was al high grade in both ingredients and workmanship.
 Newest Flame Throwers
 Nor has the Rising Sun empire overlooked the slightest innovation which might aid its armies in its design to conquer the world. Ma chine guns captured in the battle of Tenaru during which 75O Japa- nese were annihilated were of the latest air-cooled design and either of European construction or a most exact duplicate.
 The Japanese troops who fought in the battle of Tenaru were armed with the latest model flame throw CTS which throw a 40-foot flame. One-man light machine guns were examined by gunners who praised their construction and performance and said they were equal to the best now in use by our forces.
 An example of the high-grade equipment employed by the Japan csc was mahogany box used to package extra radio tubes. The box itself was a masterpiece of cabinet making and each tube was cradled in sponge rubber moulded to it the contours of the glass.
 Copy From All Countries
 The equipment shows that Nip ponese military observers attached to the various embassies through out the world did their jobs well. Incorporated in each weapon are the best devices obtainable from the different models now being used by the various countries of the world, some of them allies of Japan; some of them her enemies.
 An examination of wrecked Zero fighters destroyed on Gavutu re- vealed that the planes were of ex- pert construction from propeller hub to tail skid, were durable, built of the best materials obtainable and assembled with great care and skill. The same characteristics were found to be true of every other weapon captured from the Japanese in the Solomons whether 1t was a field telephone or a four-engined bomber.

How come The Waterbury Demo- crat wants my metal scrap for the Newspapers Scrap Metal Drive when just the other day I saw a whole lot of old cars lying around in an automobile graveyard within 3 miles of Exchange Place.
 If you're one of the people who asks that question, it's probably because you think of an auto grave yard as an intended ribbuish heap where Joe's battered old gas burner has finally found a well-earned rest.
 It's Kept Moving
 This is a popular misconcep- tion, but misconception none the less. Far from being forgotten junk heap, an auto graveyard is quite literally manufacturing bus mess. Its manufacture is iron and steel scrap-scrap critically needed to keep Americas war production going at 24-hours-a-day capacity tilt.
 When oJe's jaloppy hits the graveyard, rest is the one thing it will not get. By War ,Produc- tion Board regulation, for every pound of worn-out car that en- ters a graveyard, a pound of scrap metal must leave the yard headed toward a war mill within 60 days. So the more cars you see in the graveyard today, the more steel Uncle Sam has received from the ora vayard in the Dact tUn I1nonthS
 Actually the graveyards make it possible to obtain scrap which otherwise would not be available. That is because the graveyard op- orator obtains most of his income, not from the iron and steel scrap, but from tte parts and gadgets he salvages before he breaks up the leftover bodies.
 Break Elm Up /
 Because the profit on salvaged spare parts is higher than it is on scrap steel, he has more incentive to go out and buy old cars than has : the ordinary, junk dealer, whose income comes from the less profitable scrap.
 The graveyard operator buys his cars from second hand deal- CTS or insurance companies which have taken the remains of smash ups. After salvaging such spare parts as he can, he burns the and other non-salvag- able materials from inside the body. He then cuts of the fend-

General Statues reads as fellows:
 ''No person shall hunt, take, kill
 or attempt to kill any wood duck"
 The Attorney General has advised
 the Department that the section quoted above must be observed in the enforcement of the waterfowl laws and regulations during the current year. The terms of the Fed eral Migratory Bird Treaty Act pro- vide that the State may make laws or regulations which give further protection to migratory birds.
 Stamps Required
 As in the past, a federal water fowl stamp, obtainable at post offices for $1.00 will be required for the shooting of waterfowl in addi- ticn to the state hunting licenses.
 An identification card issued by the Coast Guard bearing a photo graph of the holder and his finger prints will be required in all navig- able waters where it is necessary to use a boat for hunting. These iden- tif1cation cards are issued by the Captain of the Port at New London, New Haven, and Bridgeport, and require the applicant to present evil dence of citizenship and to present self for finger-printing before issu- ance. Three photographs are also required, full-face two in. x 3 in, and one 1 1-2 In. X 1 1-2 in. In ad- ditien to the Coast Guard identi- hcation card, permit to carry fire arms in any boat on any navigable water must be obtained from the Coast Gurda. These my be obtained at Coast Guard Stations listed above.
 Leaf1et Distributed
 The State Board of Fisheries and Game has issued a hunting leaflet summarizing the hunting laws and regulations, and presenting also map of all State-owned, leased, or regulated areas open to public hunt ing under the supervision of the de- partment. Twenty-seven of these areas are State-regulated areas and 8 permit is required to hunt on them. One new area in Hamden has been added to the list of permit required hunting sites. Twenty state forests are open to public hunting and ten State-leased or State-own- ed shooting grounds. Tn this last classification three new leased areas have been opened up this year They are located at Waterford, Pomfret, and Lebanon Franklin.
 On the Regulated Hunting Area at Wallingford twenty grain patches with surrounding refuge areas are being used to check the eficiency of this methods of improving cover for game birds.
 The season on trout fishing which was extended on the following streams: Pennington, Willimantic. Quinnebaug, Eight Mile, Natchaug, Salmon, and Shepaug, will termin- ate on September 30 according to an announcement of the State Board of Fisheries and Game. The Housatonic River will remain open until October 3l.

With the U. $. Pacific Fleet, at Sea -(Delayed) --(UP)- Warships differ in size and structure to con form with their varied duties, but as fighting men o'war their initial emphasis is the same = sock and speed.
 Firepower being of prime impor- tance, ships are built around their guns, with cruising radius, speed, armor and underwater subdivision Ctorpedo protection) other vital factors.
 In intent, a warship is built to transfer striking power over water, and the offensive weapons for bom- bardment of ships or shore range from the battleship's guns = that can hurl projectiles many miles to the popular, more maneuverable guns that line every deck, as either main or supplementary weapons.
 Capable of driving explosives over tremendous distances, the smaller guns can lay defensive barrages as well, assuming a share of the anti aircraft responsibilities borne by pom-poms and automatics whose steel -jacketed bullets penetrate an airplane'S motors.
 Warships' decks bristle with these various guns for they are the ones that knock enemy aircraft out of the sky = should they evade the challenging fighter planes and send them spiraling down in flames, as they did in the Coral Sea and Midway.
 The aircraft carriers importance in modern warfare has been ac- cepted since Pearl Harbor. Sur prisingly agile and fast for all its numbering appearance. the carrier is the most powerful offensive weapon in the fleet, and, therefore, 1t is the most highly prized objec- tive of any fighting unit.
 Because its importance lies in ability to project its striking power for hundreds of mileS-via bombs, torpedoes, and niachine-gun bullets in its planes-the carriers bulky design is primarily based on air. craft and ammunition accomoda- tion.
 Thus, every possible inch of her huge flight deck is devoted to her primary function of launching and recovering planes, and every detail in her construction dovetails with the multitudinous phases of main- tenance related to her method of combat. NS
 :, Through the same sources, the carrier is the most important de- fensive unit in the fleet at sea, for her planes serve also the role of scouts that patrol hundreds of miles.
 For her own immediate protec- ton, she carries intermediate firing power capable of throwing up huge bursts of shrapnel-spattering shells, supplemented by the shorter-ranged but more accurate weapons.
 Warships steam to sea to fight, and en route their hazards lie in three directions - on, above or be- low the waters Carrier aircraft not only search the sky for the enemy in the clouds, but the horizon for hostile surface ships, and complete the three phase cycle of vigilance by searching for submarines.
 Tn the latter function, they are supplemented chiefly by destroyers, the watchdogs who flank, their fleet with visual alertness -ordinated l with sound devices and their weap- ons for submersibles, = the highly | concentrated explosives in depth | charges that are capable of crush ing the steel hull of submarine like an egg-shell.

Hunting Season In

 Needed in Addition to License

Hartford, Sept. A = 1922 = The Connecticut State Board of Fisher ies and Game announces an early opening of the hunting season for October 17th. This will permit hunt CTS to get in the field on Saturday. L@ Although the federal migratory bird regulations for this year pro- vide that one wood duck may be taken in the daily bag of the water fowler, Connecticut's General Stat utes take precedence over the fed- eral regulations and provide con- plete protection for the wood duck this season.

CTS and body, breaks them up in sizes small enough for the scrap dealer to handle, and sells them for scrap.
 You can get an idea of how quick the auto graveyard turn over is from these figures.
 At the end of March, 1942, there were a million and a half cars in the 22,00O auto graveyards spat- tered across the American coun- tryside. Four months later there were only 5O0,00O there. And in this time a total of over two mil lion cars had been processed - made into scrap.
 Millions To Come
 Figure that an average car weighs about 1,500 pounds as scrap, and you'll see just how important
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-24

an auto graveyard is in the pro- duction of this vital metal.
 The War Production Board es- inmates that there are now on the roads of America some six mil lion candidates for auto grave yards. If patriotic Americans sell these jaloppies to graveyards at a rate of 500,000 a month, the auto graveyards will supply 20 per cent of the total iron and steel scrap that U. s. mills need next year.
 Don't sell your car if it's trans portation," says Merrill Stubbs, head of the WIPE auto graveyard section. But remember that in war economy a car is either transportation or it's scrap. If it is scrap. sell it as such-and at scrap prices"

MUST PREPARE FOR 1T

Some weeks ago, this column chided the optimists who, at
that time were predicting the war would be over within the
year. We have heard very few statements like that within the
last week or two.
We were told that we must be prepared for bad news this
year; probably we will hear a good deal more. But mixed with
the warnings were SC many statements about second fronts
and offensive action that we fear it may have lulled the sensi-
biites of many.
This brings us back to a old theme: Our people must be
told as full and complete a story Of the war as is compatible
with safeguards against giving information to the enemy. We
do not believe that those in charge of such policies have been
as frank as they should have been.
This brings S to our second premise, that some leaders
mistake the temper and inherent capabiGty of our people to
absorb bad news. AS a matter of fact, we all let up when we
believe things n going well. We should have the bad news
to stiffen our backbones and keep US fighting on the home front.
Instead, we find that the pail of censorship is becoming
thicker. Newspapers recently received a revised code of war
time practices from the office of censorship. 'Iiberalized' and
more inclusive IN some of the adjectives used in a letter
accompanying it. 1t is certainly more inclusive but it can hardly
be called more liberal. Many more subjects IRE put in the
forbidden category. Some of them are of a political rather
than a military nature.
Z. How can we have a united war effort if people don't know
what the war is about?
