Take another look at the Christi mas Seals this year, They have new meaning now, a martial meaning, Little though they are, they have a place among ships, planes, tanks and jeeps,
 rn all past wars tuberculosis has increased, History has begun to repeat itself, Already tuberculosis is Increasing In a number of over crowded areas throughout the country. Unless history can be rewritten this time, tuberculosis will kill more Americans through out the duration than will be kil- led in action or die from wounds received in action,
 In the last four years, tuoer- culosls has killed 10000 more per- sons in this country than were killed or died in action in all the wars combined that this country has engaged in since the Revolu- tonary War,
 The combined efforts of the tu- berculoSis associations, public health officials, and the medical profession cannot control tuber- culosis, The people must take an active part,
 We must buy Christmas Seals, the sole support of tuberculosis associations, as never before. But

It was reported yesterday that the auxiliary force had threatened to dlseand because members feel that they are serving no good purpose in their present capacity, The keynote of disunity was sounded Monday night at a meeting held at the mu~ nlcipal courtroom, when grievances of 10 months were voiced by vari~ ous members of the force. Several were disturbed because they had been able to do nothing but go to the nearest firehouSe, and sit until the blackout was over,
 According to the original under standing, the auxillarieS were to 20 to the nelghborhood fire station and wait there for regular policemen to assign them to districts, 1t was brought out at Mondays session that some Of the regular members never go to the fire stations to as. sign their auXiliaries,
 Supt Roach pointed out, however, that such complaints are rare, and that the auxiliary force has been highly complimented for its eiiligent and efficient service during the trial blackouts. He stated that the mo- ton to disband the force was pre-. sented by Q few dissatisfied mem. bers whose idea 1t is to go on pa- rade all the time, and do very litte real police work. The force would be better of without these d!s- Senters, he indicated.
 When the motion to break up the force was proposed at Mondays Lawrence St Louis ob- jected strenuously, begging his com. panions to think 1t over before you decide anything definite," and to remember your families at home"
 Satisfied with the efficiency of the auxiliary force are both Mayor Win. cent A. Scully and Police Board Chairman William Verriker, who said that the members were espe- eially vigilant during the recent blackout. Mayor Scully stated that he himself had been stopped and asked to present his credentials while driving on tour of inspection during the test.

buying Seals .s not enough, We must recognize the graveness of the situation, The very diseas' that kills more people between ls and &s than any other disease is spreading in this country.
 We must learn what to do to protect ourselves against tuber. culosis. We must heed the warn~ ings that long hours of work, poor nutrition, insufficient rest and re. taxation may lower the body's resistance to the tuberele bacillus, thus allowing active tuberculosis to develop.
 We must recognize tuberculosis for what it is a high infectious disease with a long insidious one set, Tuberculosis can be in an ad- vaneed stage before symptoms ap- pear,
 We must know and apply the knowledge that periodic chest x-ray is our best defense against serious tuberculosis, The X-ray will detect this disease in its earli- est stages. even before symptoms appear. Early tuberculosis is cur able.
 Take another look at the Seals this year. They mean more to us this year than any other year since 1917

THREE CHARGES
 NOLLED FOR S25
Meyer SchOenfeld Is Ar. rested After Auto Acci.
 dent on Phoenix Ave

Three motor vehicle charges against Meyer, Sehoenfield of 495 Cooke street were nolled in muni- cipal court this morning on payment of $2S. He was charged with reck- less driving, evading responsibility and defective brakes.
 Motor Patrolman Joseph Lovallo who made the arrest Monday af- ternoon, said that Schoenfield's car apparently went out of control on Phoenix avenue, crashing into the German Lutheran church. He said that the driver had then backed his car on to the road again and continued without finding out what damage had been done. When he investigated the case, Lovallo re- ported, he found a part of Schoen- fields front bumper with the li- cense plate attached, lying on the church property. He said that the accused returned to the scene of the accident when he learned that the license plat was missing, Schonfield was arrested about four hours after the accident.
 Prosecutor Fred Palomba, in rec- ommending that the case be nolled, told the court that the &C., cident was due, in his opinion, to defective brakes, and that they were the cause of the other two charges.
 Suspended sentences were given Samuel Simon, 30, and Mrs. Ethel Bland, 40, both colored, arrested last night by Officer Timothy Keane following a disturbance at the Spark street boarding hom: of Mrs. Bland According to Mrs. Bland, the trou. ble arose when Simon turned or all the lights in his room, and she asked him to save electricity.

WPA AGREEMENT
 TO BE vOlDED
City Must Look to Some Other Federal Agency to
 Remove Trolley Rails

The presidential order ending the wpA voidS the agreement between the city and the federal agency for the removal of unused trolley rails ln Waterbury, the office of Mayor Vincent A, Seully was notified to. day by A, J. pastore, aide to State WPA Administrator Howard staub, I le mayor Is hopeful that some other federal branch may take over t~e project, for whihc a total Of Sl4,00o has been appropriated,
 Mr, Pastore told John P. Fftz- maurice, executive secretary to the mayor that tn view of the executive order, the state WPA had no choice but to canosl the agreement, The WPA had already received bids for the track removal, with the Mur. phy Co, of Stony Creek as the low bidder, The Waterbury Concrete Construction co, was ono of the un. successful bidders.
 The city's expenditure for the project would have been made up by sale of the steel rails for sal. wage,
 Tn view of the fact that the tracks contain many tons of badly. needed steel, the government may authorize some agency to go ahead with the project, 1t is felt at the city hall, The work may be done under the supervision of the War Production Board.
 Most of the rails are now buried under pavement and their removal is considered too costly e project for the city to undertake by itself.
 The mayors office was notified this noon by Bice Clemow, of Hart ford, executive secretary of the War Materials Board for Connecticut, tat the WMB may take over the rail removal project, He said he would have further information available within short time.
