CAUTION DRIVERS
 IN SCHOOL AREAS
Change in Opening, ClOs- ing Hours Puts RespOnsi-
 biIity on Operators


 "Schools are open--slow down in school areas" Motor vehicle Com missioner John T. Mccarthy warned drivers today, pointing out that many schools have changed opening and closing hours in order to re- lieve the strain on transportation facilities.
 with the opening of schools, school signs mean slow driving" the commissioner said. Children will soon readjust to school safety programs, but c child in or near the street is always drivers responst- bility.
 Tt is a tragic fact that, in spite of gasoline rationing, more children have been killed by automobiles in Connecticut 50 far this year than during the same period last year. With more parents working, many children are less carefully super vised than during normal times.
 "No driver wants to run down anyone especially 6 little child. With the opening of school let us all be more alert than ever for the thoughtless actions of child pedes- trians."
 Commissioner Mccarthy said that 20 children had been struck and killed by automobiles this year in Connecticut up to Thursday, Sept 10 as compared to 18 killed up to that date last year. Four child bicycliSts were killed this year and five last year during that period. During the first seven months of this year, 499 child pedestrians were struck by automobiles with 483 ill- jured and 16 killed. During that period, 116 child bicyclistS were struck with l13 injured and three killed.

The couple married Nov. 13, 1922 and cruelty is alleged to have started from the day of marriage.
 Judge Booth explained at the start of the short calendar hearings that the new order creating dem estic sessions in Connecticut took effect August 1 and all cases of divorce where the parties have chil- dren under 16 years of age would have to be heard in a private ses- sion.
 Greetings to Judge Booth were extended at the opening of court by Atty. Finton Phelan, president of the Waterbury Bar association who welcomed the jurist here and said the bar association would do all in its power to make his stay pleasant, Judge Booth expressed his apprecia" tion stating he had not presided in Waterbury for many years and this would probably be his last assign ment here.
 Four divorces were granted at the regular public session of superior court today. two of them based on charges of desertion and two on grounds of intolerable cruelty.
 Geraldine Gould Henry was granted a divorce from James H. Henry. Both live in Waterbury.
