this years schedule should be met.
A Garand rifle is now available for
"every one of our combat soldiers who

A one-day continuance was given in municipal court today to Will liam Antrim, l8, colored, of SAP Bank street, who was arrested early today after he had allegedly almost ftan down three policemen with his car. He was arrested at his home after the marker numbers of his car had bee ntraced.
 Patrolman Paul Moynihan and James Stack reported that, while Standing on the curb at Bank and Brand streets, they had to leap back Co avoid being struck by speeding car, the vehicle coming so close that the the strap on Officer Moynt- hans watch was broken.
 The police communicated pass ing car to give chase but were un- able to catch the fleeing car as it sped through red lights. They met patrolman Carmine Albini, who hailed them to report that he had just been almost run down when he attempted to halt speeding car on Riverside street.
 After the cars registration had been checked, Officer Stack and Patrolman Joseph Cavanaugh went to Antrim's home. There, they said, they found him lying in bed, fully clothed. They charged him with reckless driving and passing a red light, with more counts perhaps to be added.

Hundreds of Waterbury car own CTS will reap substantial benefits in the new schedule of insurance rates for automobile bodily injury. Re- ductions of more than 20 per cent or more have been announced by State Insurance John c. Blackall.
 According to Assistant Manager J. l.. Hine of the local Travellers office the new rates for bodily in- jury liability based on $5,00O for each person, $1O,0OO each accident and property damage liability $5,O0O for each accident will be $17.25 to holders of A ration books; $19.25 for B books, $21.50 for 0 books and $6.50 for property damage. Other types of private passenger automo- piles CS ration books) will be charged the c rates.
 There will be no changes in rate for classes of automobile other than private passenger cars, nor any change in rates for comprehensive fire, theft or collision insurance.
 Recently such rates were reduced 20 percent on "A" rationed cars and 10 per cent on "B" rationed cars, said Mir. Blackall, bringing total re- Jductions now to 40 percent or more on "A" cars and 30 percent or more on "B" cars.
 The latest reductions are effec- tive immediately in Connecticut, the. commissioner declared, and are applicable on al lneW and re. movable business on and after July p, 1922.
 The National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters of New York, in drafting the new reduc-. tions in rates, said such action is made possible because of recent announcements from Washington regarding rationing of tires, early extension of the Eastern State gas- oline rationing program to the en- tire nation and institution of a country wide speed limit of 35 miles per hour"
 These steps taken in Washington, said the bureau, give reasonable official assurance that the present Limitations on driving will be nain- tained for a considerable period.
 "In recognition of the reduced road hazards and the anticipated effect of the restricted speed lin- it," 1t was asserted, "the Al bod fly injury rate will be discounted by an additional 10 points. This will apply to all private passenger risks irrespective of the type of ration card they may hold in recognition of the fact that these basic conditions should improve the experience of all risks"
 The safe drive reward plan, which paid 8 cash reward at the end of each policy year to every insured driver who completes the period without being involved in an accident resulting in claim, is suspended for the duration of the war, the bureau said. To offset the suspension of this plan. another

Substantial Savings
 For Owners Of Autos
New Schedule of Rates for Bodily Injury Liability;
 Safe Driver Reward Plan Cancelled for Duration

lO-point reduction wil'1be allowed at the beginning of the policy year in- stead of the cash reward.
 The private passenger automo- bile classification plan, said the bureau, is also suspended for the duration. In It's place, effective inl- mediately, all private passenger au- tomobiles will be qualified for the Al, or preferred, classification Tor rate making purposes.
 The classification plan, explained the bureau, was a means of dis tributing the cost of insurance ace cording to the use, number of driv- CTS and the estimated annual 1nil- cage of an insured car. As all cars are now being placed in preferred. or lowest rate class, saving will accrue to those heretofore placed in a higher rate class.

TIN COLLECTION
 STARTS NOV. [
Committee Names Certain Days for Citywide CIearl-
 up Drive Compulsory

Waterbury's tin scrap collection drive will open Nov. 2, with Ss1ni- monthly house-to-house collection of tin cans planned for each first and third Saturday of the month, according to an announcement made by J. Warren Upson, salvage committee chairman. The city will be one of 400 in the country re- quired by the war production board to conduct such collections.
 According to present plans the northern half ot the city will be canvassed on the first Saturday while the remainder will be cov- cred on the other Saturday, so that each family's supply will be taken once a month. A special bin will be set up on Freight street for stor- ing cans before they can tis shipped to shredding or detinning plants or factories engaged in precipitation of copper.
 Housewives have been asked to remove the can labels and wash out all food particles. Tops and bot toms should be cut of, but will be collected, and the cans should be fiattened out. It is suggested that the cans be kept indoors to prevent rust.
 The WIPE hes set a goal of 10000 tons of pure tin from old cans. All cities with population over 25,0O0 will be ordered to participate in the tin scrap drive and 1t is believed many of the smaller communities will help out on 8 voluntary basis.
 Tin is required for transporting food and drugs to the armed forces, for various weapons, for communi- cations systems, and machinery. Ninety per cent of the country's supply of tin previously came from Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies now under Axis control.
