POSITIONS FOUND
 FOR 36OO PERSONS
State Industries Placing Physically Handicapped
 Men. Women at Work

Hartford, Conn.,, April 1-The use of more than $500 physically ham, dicapped persons in Connecticut in- dustry was indicated by a survey made recently of the prospective needs of POS firms, Leonard J. Ma loney, director of the U. S. Employ ment Service for Connecticut, said today.
 MT. Maloney said that there was now a definite quickening of in- terest by manufacturers in the placement of handicapped persons. Rehabilitation clinics now being conducted by the State Department of Education, in cooperation with the Employment Service, have helped to stimulate this interest, he said.
 Breaking down the estimated total of handicapped people who will be employed in the near future, MT. Maloney said that 2,200 would probably be used as replacements of men inducted into the armed ser- vice and 1t was pointed out that this total included 46 different types of jobs, many of them ma- chine operation. It is estimated that an additional group of 1,400 handicapped will be utilized as a result of plant expansion and this group will be used in 33 different types or jobs, many of them on the production line.
 Ut is obvious that many Connec- ticut employers have now reached the conclusion that handicapped persons can frequently do 6 good days work, and increasingly their services are going to be utilized in the coming months"

With two English refugee chil- dren, a Chinese boy, the son of 8 former world champion prizefighter and American boys and girls from six states entered as contestants, the 4-H Club Baby Beef Show will take on an international flavor at the Eastern States Exposition, Sept. 20 to 26, when 88 young pa- triots will demonstrate that they are doing their share in promoting the nations war effort by increas- ing food production for victory through the home-growing and fattening of prime young steers for market.
 1000 Contestants
 Gene Tunney, Jr., 1O-year-old son of the former heavyweight champion of the prize fight ring and who is a student at Viewpoint, a private boarding school in Amenia, N. Y, will be one of the more than 1000 boys and girls en- camped on the Exposition grounds during show week as part of the junior activities program. With him will come his best pal" from the same school, aptly named Chum Kim, who will also exhibit a steer. Chum is also 10 and is the son of MT. and Mrs. Chang Mai Kim, formerly of Shanghai, China, now residents in the Bronx in New York.
 According to H. H. Tozier, All Club agent for Duchess County in New York, the two boys are insep- arabic members of the Viewpoints All Baby Beef Club and have been impatiently waiting for nearly a year to qualify under the minimum age limit for contestants at the Exposition baby beef show.

BETTER HEALTH
 WAR AFTERMATH
Service in Armed Forces Expected to Prove Ben-
 eficial for Youth

While the war itself probably will interrupt the long-term fall in the death rates of the American people, several factors associated with the war effort are expected to bring about a favorable turn after the war, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
 Service in the armed forces will bring new health advantages to many young men," say the statici- tions, (which will benefit them and their families on their return to civilian life. The active outdoor life is good for them. Many are for the first time becoming acquainted wit'l well-rounded diets, and some of them are having their first conte ct with modern medical service be- cause our armed forces are the best cared for in the world"
 Medical science will progress des- pite the war, statisticians point out. Already new contributions to general medicine have been made as Q result of developments in mili- tary medical practice and the war intensified program of medical re- search in the prevention and treat ment of disease and injuries.
 "Even among civilians, certain wartime activities give promise oi lasting benefits. The widespread training in first aid methods should help to reduce the incidence ol serious disability and mortality iron accidents, and may even be factor in the prevention of accidents. Tn. deed, this type of training could after the war, very well be required of high school or college students People are also being more cons- cious of the importance of health in advancing war production, and pop ular education and interest in good nutrition have been intensified Even rationing brings its bless ings; restriction of sugar leads to more wholesome diets; restriction of gasoline and rubber means more people will walk, a simple and ex- cellent exercise.
 "F'actorS such as these" say sta- tsticians, "were no doubt in part responsible for great fall in mor- tality after the last war There is 8 good reason to believe that this experience will be repeated when the present outbreak is over."

GREAT BL ACkOUT TN BOSTON AREA
Largest on East Coast in Point of Population Was
 Successful

Boston, April 1-(UP)-The east coasts largest blackout in point of population was described as "very satisfactory" today despite minor violations including an alleged att tack on a policeman by a South Boston resident who refused to abuse lights in his apartment and reputed attempt to sabotage an air-raid warden's automobile.
 Approximately 2,000, 900 persons in Boston and 49 suburban communi- ties participated in the 15-minute Surprise" test that began last night at 9:13 p, m. and ended at 9:28 p. m.
 During the blackout that extend- ed from Swampscott and Reading on the north to Scituate and Hol- brook on the south and west to Birmingham, two babies were born, two emergency operations were per- formed and dozens of householders and office workers were ordered to extinguish lights.
 Police promised to prosecute Jo- Seph Solnick, 32, of South Boston who was held at City hospital for treatment of head and face injuries sustained in tussle after he al- legedly refused to extinguish lights in his home.
 Policeman Raymond A. Taayer said air wardens were unable to get Solnick to cooperate and that when Thayer intervened he allegedly was kicked in the stomach. By the time the lights were extinguiShed, the blackout was ended.
 In Dorchester, Gabriel Goldberg, 53, was arrested on a charge of ma hcious property damage. Two war dens, Jacob s. Resnick and his son. in-law, Julius Golstein, allegedly surprised him puncturing Resnick'es automobile tires with nails.
 AS in previous tests here violators are subject to a $500 fine, a year in jail, or both.
 Army planes roared overhead and searchlightS gropeds through rain- swept skies to add 8 touch of real~ ism to the test.
 The Boston navy yard eXtinguish- ed lights and halted defense pro- duction t5 minutes, but most other war plants continued work pro- viding brilliant spots of light throughout the darkened 6OO- square-mile area.
 All highway traffic was halted, but commercial airlines and rail- roads were permitted to maintain schedules. Trains moved through the region with curtains drawn and locomotive lights dimmed. The Bos- ton elevated railway halted opera tions and passengers waited on sta- tion platforms for the "all clear"
 The Boston Edison Go. reported a 57 per cent drop from the normal use of electricity and telephone calls were below normal.
 Nearly 175,O00 afraid precaution workers helped police and other au- thorities. The city of Everett was lighted brilliantly for brief period by the dumping of molten slag at the Mystic Iron Works.
 Mayor Maurice J. Tobin, atop the court house with civilian defense oficialS, said the test lis proof that Massachusetts and Greater Boston still stand first among the states and communities of the country in civilian defense"
 Regional Civilian Defense Direc- tor Joseph M. Loughlin said the test was another big step forward in plans for a New England-wide blackout."
