of the park committee of the Improvement Association, for an appropriation, to purchase the re- mainder of this very desirable tract of land, for permanent park for Bunker Hill, the Associa- tion has voted not to sponsor it and not to carry insurance on 1t any longer.
 There has never been season when the park has been used by organizations and family parties as much as it has this year
 There has never been a time when 1t was more needed than now, when folks cannot get away very far in their cars and when outings certainly are needed more than ever.
 It is now up to the people of~the community to make known to the iCity's Park Department and to Mayor Scully their regret over the loss of this lovely place which has been loaned to the community for the past 9 years without charge, and to express their de- sire that Bunker Hill, the only section of the city without a park, should have some place provided near at hand for its outings.

 Association.

 Levels of July, l94l

Washington, July 6(UP)- Wholesalers and manufacturers prices for mems and boys tailored clothing will be rolled back next Saturday-in some cases to levels existing as far back as July 1941- to enable retailers to maintain their present ceilings.

All clothing prices advanced during the fall of 1941 but retailers prices rose more slowly.
 OPA Administrator Leon Tender son announced the Troll back" last night and explained that 1t was ne- cessary to enable retailers to keep mems clothing prices stable with out deteriorating quality.

 Show Delayed
 Thousands stood for more than two hours under blazing sun at the American Brass Go. grounds when the start of afternoon circus performance was delayed. More than 40 persons in the densely packed crowd fainted from the heat. Circus officials claimed that the long de- lay resulted from loading problems at New Haven and from side tracking at New Haven to allow army troop trains to pass. Shortage of labor was also felt. Striking mu- sicians picketed the tents.
 More than 65 drum corps partici- pated in the East End clubs parade through streets in the eastern sec tion of the city. Mayor Vincent A. Scully and other dignitaries were on the reviewing stand in front of Anderson school.
 The community clubs program al- so included athletic events in the morning, drilling and other compe- tition after the parade, and enter tainment and dancing at night-all this taking place at Hamilton park. Jane Sheehy, of the Nutmeg State corps of this city, won first honors in the baton swinging contest in the senior feminine division. It marked the first time a contestant has regained this title, originally won by Miss Sheehy in 1889. Miss Sheehy held highest score in all events Saturday. The daughter of MT. and Mrs. William Sheehy of Laurel street, she has won medals throughout New York State and Connecticut. She has been coached by Bob Lynch, former leader of the American Legion Drum Corps. The St. Stanislaus fife and drum corps of this city placed second in the junior modern playing class.
 The competition was held in con- l junction with the 57th annual con- vention of the Connecticut Pliers & Drummers association. Corps from all parts of the state and from several cities outside the state were on hand. Lawrence Kenny was grand marshal of the parade. "Hard Luck"
 The circus visit was long tale of woe. Two trucks broke loose when being detrained at the railroad yards and ran into a crowd of children, 1 being halted by several auxiliary po- licemen. A man was found dead on the circus grounds; a performer was taken suddenly i'll and had to be rushed to the hospital. The after noon performance was so late that the audience was hurried out rear exits while those going to the eve- ming show were being admitted in front.
 | Resorts Crowded
 Swimming pools and nearby lake resorts had their busiest week end of the season. Busses heading for re- sorts were almost invariably crowd ed with persons seeking relief from the oppressive heat.
 The athletic program at Hamilton park Saturday morning attracted large number of youthful competi- tors.

Sentiment which was responsible for
the heavy majority for better compensa-
ton of injured workmen in this state is
gaining strength throughout the country.
One reason for this is the increase in in
dustrial accidents, noted particularly in
war construction activities.
Discussing this situation The New
York Times comments that the accident
rate il rising because millions of men and
women who have been idle during the years
Of the depression are not only at work
again but at work that calls for the exer-
else Of newly acquired skills and that ex-
poses them to unfamiliar hazards.
Worse than accidents in terms of war
production is disability, chiefly sickness,
outside of the office or factory and ac-
counts for loss Of 400, 000, 900 man-days
annually at q time when we need all the
munitions We can produce.
As . possible check on this startling
situation the Long Island School of Medi-
cine has just inaugurated q postgraduate
course in industrial medicine. The course
will include lectures by experts in various
branches Of industrial health.
The subjects to be discussed cover a
wide field - factory medical problems and
their solution, sickness and absenteeism,
the protection Of the worker at the ma
chine and bench, the prevention of fatigue,
hazardous materials and occupations, and
nutrition.
1t is suggested that the matter is one
Of sufficient importance to justify estab-
lishment of similar courses in other schools
throughout the country.

To all you followers Of LII Abner. The
Times popular comic strip. greetings:
Saturday, Nov. z. Is Sadie Hawkins
Day, an annual event in which college boys
and girls all over the country emulate the
characters that have made LII Abner
top-liner among the fun-provoking news
paper comics.
Lii Abner and the folks Of Dogpateh,
mythical town way back in the hills Of Ten
nessee, is the creation of AL Capp (Alfred
Gerald Caplan), nationally known cartoon
ist. II wasn't just another comic strip. In
Lii Abner Cartoonist Capp also had ere
ated new holiday - Sadie Hawkins Day.
It's the day when boy fees girl - when
college boys run from college girls - be-
lieve 1t or not.
The University of Tennessee, near the
locale of LII Abner, was the first college
to make Sadie Hawkins Day an annual
event in November. Other colleges fol-
lowed, and today the custom is observed
from coast to coast.
The November issue of Coronet, nation
al magazine, has made Lii Abner and his
creator the subject of one of its features.
Coronet refers to Capp as "the pen-pappy
of the Dogpatch folks" who has made his
famous character, LII Abner, the hill-billy
hero of 24,000,000 readers"
And that means 24,000.000 wholesome
laughs.

. HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, DECEMBER

Adverse planetary aspects DOM
mate today which is unfavorable
for merchants, but 1t may bring
cheering war news. The navy is
under lucky planetary direction.
Heart and Home: This is pri-
marily a sway under which to COM
plete work. 1t is encouraging to
plans important to the household.
Economy should rule, but there
will be temptation to pursue social
life as usual, adding war trim
mings. Informal entertaining is
under favorable direction of the
stars and should be of special aid
to young folk.
Business Affairs: Despite the
patriotism of big business there
will be competition for large
profits on government contracts
among a few greedy organizations
War millionaires will be counted
with surprising results that cause
unpleasant public reaction. Al.
though high taxes will diminish
great returns from war industries
a few will enjoy great profits
This month is to be a turning
point in the road to riches as stern
laws govern incomes large anc
small.
National Issues: Lines drawn
between American citizens OF
varying races and religions now
must vanish, the seers declare, al
true democracy is manifested In
war service and sacrifice. Out OF
the chaos caused by world conflict
will issue equality in fact as vel
as In the letter Of the constitu-
ton. astrologers forecast. Through
bloodshed the nation il to be puri-
fled Of its faults. Spiritual values
will be recognized in the new order
which will have paid the greatest
price for liberty and equality for
all people.
International Affairs: At the be-
ginning of the war Uranus was in
the fixed sign Of Taurus. This
planet encourages change, destroy
ing the old and bringing in the
new. Through an adverse influ-
ence Of Venus 1t will overcome
whatever it cannot master.
Persons whose birthdate it Is
have the augury Of sudden ankle
ties in business matters and should
avoid hasty decisions.
Children born on this day prob
ably viii be highly sensitive and
temperamental. Many may be
contradictory in character, but
most intelligent In the use Of their
talents.
