variety Of unflattering terms,
such as traitors and psychopaths,
not to mention hogs. It's beginning
to get under their skin. Since the
government Is giving us q chance
to repent and become honest women
by suggesting that surplus sugar
stock be resold. greedy women may
make amends.
The sugar hoarder Is on the spot
and the repentent ones are avail
ing themselves of the governments
suggestion to unload or resell their
hoard. When rationing cards are
issued. and they are due shortly.
the women don't want to find
themselves classed as traitors
which may seem an extreme charge
but one that has been made against
them.
It's amazing how greedy some
housewives are. One might think
their life depended on an abundant
supply Of sugar and. strange as it
seems. incidents of shoplifting are
actually reported. especially among
what the grocers call "the mink
coat trade
Sugar Chiselers
Those who frequent lunchrooms,
tearooms and restaurants are
treated to the daily spectacle Of
women covertly dropping at least
one lump Of sugar in their hand
bags. When q woman does not use
sugar in her tea or coffee, she
pockets her two Jumps. carrying
them away with her.
"You may have my sugar ration"
q woman told waitress few days
ago. "Oh, madam" the girl re-
piled, I'VE are not allowed to do
that" So apparently what's sugar
for the goose, II you get what I
mean. isn't sugar for the waitress.
Women who live in tiny kitchen
cite apartments have stored away
enough sugar to last what might
be their lifetime. It is not unusual
to find 100 pounds stored in all
manner of unexpected places now.
Unless one has large family and
does an enormous amount Of bak-
ing, 100 pounds Of sugar is. as the
slang phrase goes, not hay.
No one thinks highly Of these
predatory females and they are
beginning to realize 1t, even to be
ashamed Of themselves. AS under
stand 1t. one Is going to have to
declare ones stock when applying
for sugar stamps and, as their
local groceryman knows what he
knows. this is going to be one Of
life's darkest moments for the
hoarderS.
RatiOns in Boxes
During and Immediately after
World War I, It was q practice, as
well as considered chic, to carry
sugar about with one. Tiny little
boxes, often bejeweled, or at least
highly decorative. contained ones
sugar ration for the day or meal.
Perhaps this fashion will be revived
as sugar rationing really goes into
effect. It's sure to. since the sale

sweet-toothed fraternity Is getting
itself talked about, as the mem.
bers deserve. They constitute Q
problem at q time when goodness
knows there are problems enough
without adding to them.
Better unload your sugar. lady.
Your grocer will keep dark your
guilty secret Of past boarding. He'll
do it gladly just to get that sugar
back again.

 Other claims for gasoline for Southern trips not acceptable un- der the regulations are those based on ownership or lease of a home in the South or conduct of resort busi- ness which requires the applicant to travel. Bowles' announcement de- clared.
 He also asked the local boards to check closely on applications where health is made the basis of the request for gasoline for a jour- ney South.
 Tn this connection, the claim will be difficult to validate, he pointed out, because it is a rare ailment that will be aggravated more by train travel than by automobile.'

MORE LITIGATION
 FOR REINBRECHT
Auto Accident in January, I94l, Responsible for
 Second Action

With one damage suit brought against his wife and himself lost, Downing A. Reinbrec cht of Water bury next week will find himself defendant in another litigation re- sulting from a separate automobile accident. The pending suit which has been scheduled for a hearing in superior court Tuesday, involves an accident which occurred Jan. 10, l94l with MT. Reinbrecht as driver. while the other case which ended Wednesday in superior court. with a $7,500 verdict against them. took place Jan. 28. l94l while Mrs. Rein brecht was operator of her hus- bands car.
 Both accidents. which happened within two weeks of each other. re- suited from skidding on icy pave ments in the same section of the city. and both ended in infliction of injuries to pedestrians.
 Tn the case to be heard Bertram F. Gardiner of Waterbury seeks Si5,00O damages for injuries receiy- ed when he was struck after Mir. Reinbrecht's car skidded on Pine street near Glenridge street. He claims he sustained 6 concussion of the brain. and injuries to his head, neck, shoulders. arms. legs. ankles. and body. It is alleged that the driver was speeding without regard for the icy condition of the road.
 No appeal motion has been filed from the $7.500 judgment and 1t is believed the award will be cleared without further court action. Hy- man Pfeffer of this city was the plaintiff and he claimed he sustain- ed permanent injuries when a car driven by Mrs. Reinbrecht stru:k another car which in turn struck him as he stood on Willow street near Wodlawn terrace.
 When the Gardiner case was call- cd for assignment by Judge Kenneth Wynne two days ago. objection to an early hearing was voiced by counsel for the defendant who claimed a jury chosen from the same panel involved in the Pfeffer ease might be preJudiced against his client. After hearing arguments from the plaintiffs counsel. Attor- ney Michael V. Blansfield. who also prosecuted the Pfeffer case. the jur- ist sustained the request for an im- mediate assignment.

of its kind held in New England. It was organized and sponsored by the Development Commission in cooper atiou with the State Defense Coun- cil. When the War Production Board set up offices within the State, the Development Commission relinquished to this Federal agen- cy many of itS emergency functions in the field of war production. Many of the practices set up in Connee- ticut by the Development Commas sicn have since been continued by the War Production Board on B national basis.
 New Mines, Quarries
 The current Report also calls at- tention to the activity Of the Con- mission in developing sources with in the State for some of the miner als on the Governments critical list. New mines and quarries were put into production. and old workings reopened. to supply high-grade mica material high on the critical list because of the fact that it is es- sential for many types of electrical installations. Most high-grade mica was formerly imported from India. and is practically unobtainable to- day because of shipping difficulties. Some mica had been produced in Connecticut previously but produc- ton has been increased many times over, under the leadership Of the Development Commission.
 The Development Commission Re. port indicates that the movement of industries has been almost en- tirely frozen by war conditions, and that its industrial development ac- uvities at present take the form of long-range promotion designed to keep present industries and attract new ones in the postwar period. A confidential list of industries plan- ming to move after the war is main tained in the Commissions office, and the case for a Connecticut loca- ton has been presented to such iTl- dustries for future consideration.
 The services of the Commissions trained staff have been supplement- ed at many points by volunteer ad- visory committees of experts in sev- eral of the fields in which the Com. mission operates. according to Mir Rogers report.
