FUEL-SAVING FLANNELS

The man who's about the house a good deal - the 65-degree house - will appreciate pullover or cardigan sweaters, & good and gay flannel sports shirt .. flannel pajamas. And if he's a country dweller who gathers flrewood to warm the house these days, a leather windbreaker with sheepskin lining and matching hat with earmuffs. Of course, If he's really working in the house for the first time some sturdy overalls or work pants and a com- pact pocket tool set, or regular car- penter tools.
 And any man whose sport or work takes him into cold places should welcome a tan gabardine waistcoat which buttons tightly and has an apron in back. The apron looks odd but makes plenty of sense for a man troubled by cold striking between his belt and the end of the average up-riding vest. Hunters should like, too, knitted gunners s mitts.

 New York-The winter months of 194S are going to find civilians spending more time out of doors than they did last year, and the Christmas gifts for men now on display make the most of that fact.
 The man of the house is walking where he used to ride. He's taking his night turn as air raid swarden or plane spotter, and feeling the winter chill in trips to and from a late shift in war plants, besides keeping up with winter sports. And there are enough warm clothes on shop shelves to make up for all the car gadgets that shoppers were buy ing last year.
 For the sportsman, some alert houses even have on hand enough reconditioned golf balls and metal gear for hunters, anglers, skiers, for a wife to present her spouse with quite final spree of now-prioritied equipment.

NO XMAS LIGHTS
 HERE THIS YEAR

To cooperate with internal secur- ity regulations, Waterbury's streets will not be brightened at Christ mas with the usual colored lights. 1t was stated by Prank J. Green, sec- retary of the Chamber of Com merce.
 Yule lighting has been definitely excluded from the dim-out area along the easern seacoast by ruling of the Eastern Defense Command. and the Command has discouraged extensive lighting in other cities Reason given for the ruling against Christmas lights is the conservation of electricity, material and labor. Authorities also recognize the dif- faculties which would be present # the lights had to be extinguished quickly in the event of blackout.
 Although 1t is reported that Wa terbury, unlike many other cities. will have it's municipal Christmas tree. it is likely that the tree will be without the usual colored lights. Stores will be limited in their use of decorative lights. and must turn them off after dark as they do the regular store lights.

 Mir. Verry stated physical instruc- tors could consult the health rec- ords and thus work to correct certain defects and raise the health stand ards of the boys in the club. It is estimated on the basis of last years membership figures that the exam inations will include more than a thousand boys.

 New York, Nov.5-(UP)-New Republican Governors in four key states and nine additional G. o. P. Senators today assured important minority influence of national con- srol two years hence.
 Today's gubernatorial contests in g states extended Republican control over the state adminis- trotions of New York, California, Michigan and Connecticut, all now ruled by Democrats. The Republi- cans lost Wisconsin to the Pro- gressives. Two state governorShips were still in doubt,-Wyoming, now Republican, and Idaho, now Democratic.
 At the same time Republican candidates were elected to replace nine Senators who, with only one exception, were strong supporters of the New Deal. The exception was Sen. William J. Bulow, D., s. D., ! pre-war isolationist and opponent ,f some of the administrations do- nestle policies. who was previously defeated in his states Democratic primary.
 The Republican Senatorial pick ups came from Nebraska, which busted Independent Sen. George w. Norris, New Jersey, where Sen. William H. Smathers, D., had told the voters he was proud to be President Roos3velt's wartime rub Der stamp" and Delaware, Iowa Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
 Only one senatorial contest was still in doubt. That was the race in Montana between Democratic Sen. James E. Murray, a strong New Deal supporter. and Republi- can J. Wellington Rankin. Murray held slight lead.
 If final returns send Murray back to his seat, the political line up of the new Senate which will meet Jan. 3, 1943, will be Demo- crats, 57: Republicans. 38; Progress sive, 1. This compares with a presen lineup of 65 Democrats. 29 Republi- cans, Progressive and 1 Indepen- dent.

Dividend Payment
 To Be Asked Friday
Star Water Receivers Petition for 66 and 2-3 Per
 Cent to Be Heard By Judge Booth

The receiver of the Star Water Manufacturing Company of Che shire will ask Superior Court Judge John Rufus Booth at a short calendar hearing tomorrow to ap- prove payment of a dividend of 66 and 2-3 per cent on all remaining approved claims against the con- cern, instead of B and 1-3 as order ed by the court September 18. Doris A. LaFrance, receiver, in a motion filed in the court states that the company has a sufficient amount of funds to pay the additional divi- dend.
 In a semi-annual report filed two weeks ago the receiver stated that the receivership may be terminated by the end of the year, and that op- eration of the business has been the most successful experienced in many

the war-will be enhanced chiefly through its substantial increases in Senate and House.
 Even with its present heavy Democratic majority, the Senate, in connection with pending legislation to draft IS and 19-year-old youths, insisted on an amendment requir- ing a years training for the teen age group before they could be as- signed to combat duty abroad. This vote came in the face of a personal appeal from President Roosevelt that the advice of military experts be followed and over the strong ob- jection of Gen. George c. Marshall.
 With its administration majority reduced, congress can be expected to show even greater independence in making its own decisions. This forecast a spectacular congressional battle over manpower legislation if the administration asks for author ity to draft workers for factory and other wartime jobs.
 The trend of Tuesdays voting may also induce congress to take a hand in the formulation of rationing pro- grams and other policies connected with civilian wartime problems. This estimate came from one of the losers in the contest-Sen. Prem ttss M. Brown, D., Mich, whose record was independent but who was closely identified with the ad- ministration as the manager of its price control and anti-inflation leg islation.
 Brown interpreted Tuesdays re- suits as indicating a general dissat- isfaction among the voters with the restrictions the government has been forced to impose on the pulp lie. He mentioned specifically the rationing program, the maintenance of big army, and price and wage control policies.

First-Aid Material Hoarding
Brings Warning by Lands

A wave of "hoarding' of first-aid
materials is sweeping the country
and threatens to produce a serious
shortage of medical supplies-surgi-
cal gauze, bandages and other eS-
sentials-available for the military
forces and civilian defense needs,
Director James M. Lands of the
Office of Civilian Defense warned
today.
Basing his statement on a report
by DR.. George Baehr, chief of the

Lands declared the rapidly increas-
ing storing of gauZe bandages and
other first-aid materials is reaching
alarming proportions.
Because of wrong conception

such severity that only trained
emergency medical field units are
competent to attend the injured at
the site of an accident, he explained,
adding that in every community
likely to be bombed, trained units
of doctors, nurses and medical
auxiliaries have been established to
render prompt service at all times.
Literally millions of first-aid kits
are being installed in countless
places where there is practically no
likelihood they will ever be used"
Dean Lands said. One city alone
has purchased $4,000 kits for its
school teachers and is planning to
equip every Warden's post, every
apartment building and every floor
