The state defense council moved into high gear, aid raid observa tion posts were manned around the clock, first aid units went on the alert, vital in- dustrial plants and utilities were guarded.
 Approximately 1s0,000 persons in Connecticut, one out of every 10 per- sons in the state, now were connec- ted in some way with the states public defense set-up. "Connecticut," the governor said, "is a great arsenal for democracy"
 "We are living up to that respon- sibility," he said.
 Two Categories
 The governor divided his first 12 months in office into two categories national defense and social well fare.
 He enumerated the various mea- sures which his administration spon- sored during the 1941 general as sembly, and which have since be- come law. The most important leg islation, he said, was public utilities reform, revision of the states milk control set-up which has given farm- CTS great increase in income, cre- ation of a savings bank life insur- ance system, a juvenile court sys- tenn, placing common pleas court judges on circuit, and eliminating the use of mercury in the manu- facture of felt hats.
 He pointed with satisfaction to the bright state financial picture, to the use of the surplus to reduce the states bonded indebtedness. "A wise fiscal policy" he said, fuses the surplus of period of prosperity as a safeguard against a future period Of depression"
 State Issues Sidetracked
 But, Gov. Hurley said, state issues were moved into the background the moment war came. He said one of the most notable" steps taken in the state since we entered the war was the drafting of a so-called vic- tory compact which bound labor and capital to avoid interruptions Of work during the crisis.
 TIC pl dloCO oIAC pCoPAC OA W.. necticut for their spirit of self denial and sacrifice in their daily lives"
 "The year." Gov. Hurley said, "has ended a note of unity and ac- complishment for the great tasks ahead. That note will be sounded louder and louder for victory and freedom"
 AS for the actual back-breaking task of being governor in a period of time, when an executive has to be at his desk early in the morn- ing and stay there until the dinner hour has long since passed, the gov ernor had this to say:
 T really enjoy the job. It has been a good education"

Britain Here Tonight

After Crosby and Wildly basket
ball squads turned in such fine
court performances last night on
foreign" floors, Leavenworth now
has its opportunity to provide the
real shock of the hoop season by
outpointing New Britain High to-
night at the Wildly gym, where the
teams will meet at 8:45 p. m. The
visitors, because Of an earlier season
win in a close game, SO to 81, will be
favored to win, as they have also
beaten Bristol twice in the same
week, while Bristol has taken Tech
twice.
Reserve teams of the two schools
meet in a 7:30 prelim.
Overdue for a real good effort,
Wildly waited to get on the Hard
ing High floor to produce its best
effort of the season to date, 40 to
IS victory over the Park City Presi-
dents, leaders of the Naugatuck
Valley League, who were handed the
shock of the season by the last
place team from Waterbury, who
took the lead, and despite continu-
GUS pressure, kept ahead just enough
to win comfortably in close, hard
played game that stood 24-18 at
half time, Wildly leading, Wallin and
Salvatore, the latter much-im-
proved player accounted for 20 of the
Wildcat total while the Wildly de-
Tense held Harding's Bill Hugya a
high-scorer to pair of field goals.

Hockey's Kraut Line Joins Air Force Intact
Boston Trio
Quits Sport
With Clean,
Even Record
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Feb. II - Because
they grew up together in that On
tario town, Milt Schmidt. Bobby
Bauer and Woodrow Dumart were
called the kitchener Kids when
they first teamed up with the Ros-
ton Bruins in 1936-9437.
Until World War I, Kitchener
was Berlin, and Schmidt, Bauer and
Porky Dumart are of German des-
cent, SO they skated to fame as the
Sauerkraut Line. Inseparable, the
members of the greatest forward
trio in more recent years ate, drank
and SLEPT together.
And now they have undertaken
their greatest adventure together.
They have joined the Royal Cana
dian Air Force as unit - Schmidt
the speedster as physical in
structor, the brainy little Bauer as
a radio mechonic and the steady
Dumart as a clerk accountant.
For even performances, the
Krauts were remarkable. Between
the mthere is only a difference of
one in the number of goals scored
in regular National League play.
Center Schmidt had 80, exclud-
ing Stanley Cup warfare. Rumart,
sturdy left wing, had 70 since he
became a Hub combatant in 81,
a year after his illustrious run -
ming mates joined the club. Bauer,
the right wing, had rs. Assists
ran along similar lines, Schmidt
leading with 109, Bauer next with
an even 100 and Dumart third
with 76.
In 80 the Kraut Line finished
one-tWo- three in scoring to be the
first to accomplish that in the
history of the loop. Schmidt won
the championship with SO points,
Bauer and Dumart tied with 43.
ROSS CALLED SCHMIDT
GREATEST HE EVER SAW
They helped the Bruins to the
championship and Stanley Cup in
1899 and 4O-41.
When the New York Rangers
shut them out, 20, in Boston last
February Is, the Bruins had hung
up an al-time mark of % consecu-
tive unbeaten games. During that
streak, Art Ross, veteran manager
of the AIRY, called Schmidt the
finest player he had ever seen.
Bauer was voted the Lady Byng
Trophy in 40 and Al. This trophy
is awarded to the athlete adj
judged to have exhibited the best
type of craftsmanship combined
with a high standard of play. The
largest number of minutes Bauer
served in a campaign was II. In
two straight seasons, he was given
only one minor.
Dumart, in two different sea-
sons, had a minor in each. The
lack of penalties 100 minutes for
the three over nearly 81 seasons
accounts for much of their success.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
FROM THEIR RECORDS
Here Is the complete record of
the kraut Line:

LEWIS HIGH TOPS
SACRED HEARTS

For half game, Sacred Heart
high basketballers gave Joe F'on-
tana's Lewis high lads of Southing-
ton all they could handle in the
way of points and hoop play, but
the effort took everything out of
them, and being shy on reserves,
were unable to cope with the second
half drive of the visitors, who won
out, SO to 16, as the Hearts could
score but three points in the final
two periods of a game played last
night at the Wildly gym.
Taking an early lead, the Hearts
stayed in front until seconds before
the half whistle, when the count
stood 17-15, but Mucci and Muzzy
of Lewis were too much for the To-
cal defense in the last half and the
game became one-sided.
However, the Sacred Heart re-
serves brought some consolation in
the form of a 25 to Is preliminary
game win in which all ten players
had yellow jerseys. Score:
