 Air raid wardens reported last night at meeting that porch lights are still unshielded in many sections of the city. and occasional careless ness is manifested in the matter Of drawing window shades. It was also pointed out that there are some mo- torists who have yet to cover their headlights the required half way. and the suggestion was made that police establish light checking sta- tions in parts of the city and warn all passing drivers.
 In Hartford ard New Haven. hncs have already been levied in great numbers for violations of the dimout regulations. In New Haven. l02 per- sons were fined on Tuesday night alone, their carelessness costing them from $2 to S25 each. To date. the defense council has been sin- guiarIy reluctant to impose any se- we're punishment on offenders but wardens urged last night that this means be adopted as the only prac- ticaI method of making citizens step In line before the next Army irspec- ton either this week. or early next week.

All state officials are grateful to them,
 Referring to statistics which had just been placed on his desk by the State Motor Vehicle DepartmeEt [. Justice Els observed that during the first twenty-eight days of De- cember, sixteen persons lost their lives in automobile accidents as compared with thirty-five for the same period last year. Tt is inter- esting to note" .c saht, rs.s:zs sssc-e was enIy one woman listed among those killed and that ten of those who lost their lives were pedestrt- ans.7 Commenting further he state ed that seven of the pedestrians killed were persons over sixty years of age.
 Continuing, Justice ELS observed that all indications point to clark transportation year in 1943" and with fewer cars being operated shorter distances the relative pedes- trian problem might beconr acute, particularly as it affected elderly people.
 Your Highway Safety Commis- sion will continue its December Safety Campaign through 1943," the justice promised, with a conttnu- ing program of continually inform ing all of you of the dangers ot street and highway travel and url- usual seasonal hazards. 1943 Is go- ing to be an important year. The health ard lives of every one of us will be important and must not be sacrificed to street and highway carelessness" he said in closing.

 If. on the other hand, you're one of those stay-at-home Americans who thinks you already have sacfi- feed you might as well prepare yourself for another shock. Greater shortages. increased ratloning, hish@ CT taxes, further restrictions of all kinds are ln store for you in 1915,
 To look backward If you had kept Q family war diary this past year, it would sound something like this; THE FAMILY JALOPPY
 Your car was probably the first member of the family to feel the pinch of war. Here are some Of the things that happened to it:
