LOWER FATALITY
 RATE EXPECTED
Increase of Seven for First Three Months Officially
 Reported

Although seven more Connecticut trafiic fatalities were recorded by the Department of Motor Vehicles during the first three months of l942 than for the same period last year, Commissioner John T. Me- Carthy anticipates Q lower fatality rate per hundred million motor vehicle miles of travel for the first quarter of thiS year than the ten- year average of l0,2 cases,
 "It is rather contradictory" stated the commissioner in coin- mentlng on Connecticut trafflc ia- tality experience for the first three months of the current year, to be told that while seven more per- sons were killed because of trafflc accidents during January, February and March of this year than during the same period in l94l that, statis. tieally, our fatality statement will show any improvement at all,
 However, over the past ten years, the first quarter averaged 77 traffic fatalities. This year we have re- corded 30. The fatality rate based on travel over the ten-year period is lo,2, but because of the greatly increased motor vehicle movement during January, the rate for the quarter will be lower. For the first two months the ten-year rate was l0.6 as compared with 7,6 this year.
 Statistical improvement, however, the commissioner emphasized, does not change the fatality experience itself, 80 persons having been need- lessly sacrificed on street and high way during January, February, and March of htis year.

 There is no forty-hour week in Canada. The work-week is from 4s to 52 hours, varying in locali- ties. (And incidentally one of the first things everybody in Canada tells us, from the taxi driver or hotel bellhop, to people prominent in the government is-"you can't win the war on a forty-hour weekly.

 The drive toward curtailmert of non essential spending is also gam. ing momentum along with the con- trol of prices and essentials end wages. Taxes and the sale Of bonds haven't approached absorbing Che new money that is being paid out as a result of the war effort.
 With industrial boonls over Can- ada, similar to those to be found on the Pacific Coast and elsewhere in the United states, people are beginning to want to 90 places, buy this and buy that and do things. As 6 result limitation on railroad travel for pleasure is being com sidered. In addition to the economic reasons back of this consideration railroads are busy with the var. and is the fact that the Canadian must conserve equipment for this work. The proposal under consider ation is that pleasure travel be Mill- ted to 100 miles.

 When some S5 per cent of the automobile tires now in uae In Canada are worn out, there just won't be any more, retreaded or otherwise, as matters now stand. Every tire available wil be placed in use for war purposes first. Only whats left will be subject to civilian 'rationing.
 But Canadians take all of the ceiling restrictions and control and the rationing quietly as part of their war contribution. When the rationing of gasoline was star ted the first of April and the first ration books were issued, 6 great rush of gas buying was anticipated during ths>final hours of unrestric- ted gas supply.
 Quite the, contrary happened. There was no rush at all. The rationing was simply taken in stride.

Lent has passed and gone, And so has Easter too. So no more are we forlorn, Since Jesus died for me and you And He the Prince of Peace" was born. And the memory of those days Brings lasting peace and joy, And blessings in so many ways, And perfect bliss without alloy. Now we know that God is love, And all the sons of men Can praise him up above Tn bliss without an end. So let us praise our God of love, Who sent His Son down here That we might live above Tn perfect bliss and cheer. And now let there De no more sadness, For Lent again has passed away; But Let all the world be full of gladness, ainee love is here today.
