 AT TEMPLE HALL

Everything Is in readiness for the gala Halloween dance party at Temple hall Saturday night, a spe- cial presentation by Mike DiVito, whose Saturday night events at the Temple have become the talk of the town. The dance will be featured by a big prize costume contest fol- lowing the grand march at 10 o'clock. Mir. DiVito has already re- ceived entries from many factory individuals and groups desiring to compete but application for entry is not necessary. Everyone is in vited to enter and everyone is in- vited to attend whether in costume or not.
 During the grand march which will go on at 10 o'clock sharp, a car- load of free noisemakers. balloons, novelties and confetti will be dis tributed to the dancers for the gen- eral celebration of the occasion. The dance music program will be ar- ranged so that both young and old may take advantage of the urge to dance and there will be dreamy waltzes and slow fox-trots as well as the modern swing.
 Dancing will get under way at 8:30 and from then until midnight merriment will reign supreme.

ROAD FATALITIES
 SHOW BIG DROP
249o in First Nine Months of l942, Survey Shows
 Trend

Chicago, Oct. 3o-(UP)-The Na- tional Safety Council reported to- day 24 per cent drop in highway fatalities in the United States for the first nine months of 1942, and predicted that nationwide gasoline rationing may reduce the toll to half It's late 194l level.
 Tn nine months this year, the traffic death toll was 2l,29o, against 27,900 for the same period last year. September figures were 40 per cent under September 1941, while August listed a 43 per cent decline.
 ''The fact that the September re- duction was no greater than in Au- gust indicates that larger decreases in travel and accidents may not be forthcoming until rationing is ex- tended throughout the nation" Sid ney J. Williams, public safety direc- tor of the council said.
 New Hampshire topped the Uni- ted States in showing 55 per cent reduction for nine months of 1942. Montana cut its toll 46 per cent, South Dakota 42, Kansas and Idaho 38, Kentucky 37, Arkansas 36, Flor ida 35, Georgia 33, and Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia 32.

 Fight in Narrow Roads
 The main fighting in the Nalchik and Tuapse areas was in narrow roads, and the German air force was able to shift rapidly from one front to the other, Red Star said. Ger man losses were substantial, Red Star added, and gains were not pro- portionate.
 In the Nalchik area, German planes were making 15 sorties a day and meeting fierce opposition from Soviet fighters. Stormoviks, as- sailing tanks and troops concentra- tions, were reported to have de- stroyed 50 tanks in one day. Front line dispatches said the Germans were hurling many hundreds" of tanks into battle on individual sec- tors.
 Soviet forces penetrated & local- ity on the Kalinin front, northwest of Moscow. and wiped out a large number of Germans, the noon com- munique said. Snipers In the last month were credited with killing 1,048 Germans.
 (Radio Vichy broadcast a Berlin dispatch today that Soviet prepara- tions for Q winter offensive were be- ing prepared. and the Germans ex- pected the blow to fall against the Velikie Luki-Dvina area, 290 miles west and slightly north of Moscow)

The Jap- anese forces routed were not neces- sarily rear guard, because they have been holding up the Allies strenuously for several days. It is believed that the Japanese suffered considerable casualties"
 MacArthur's communique said the Australians were continuing their advance to Alola, where the moun- tain trail plunges sharply down to the enemy strong point of Kokoda and the air field there.

 Japanese planes returned to ac- tion over New Guinea after a one night Hull. Two aircraft raided Port Moresby before dawn Thursday, causing slight damage but no casu- alties, MacArthur announced.
 Enemy air activity in the New Guinea and northwestern Austra- Han sectors. almost non-existent for several months, has been increasing recently. The Japanese last week raided Darwin. Australia, several times and increased their bombing of Allied positions in New Guinea.

 "A further number of German prisoners were taken. The fighting continues"
 American flyers and aircraft were leading the Allied Air Forces in punishing attacks on Axis concen- trations and shipping from Alamein to Tobruk and over the Mediter- ranean.
 During a previously announced attack in which tanker was sunk of Tobruk, today's communique said, Allied planes also scored di- rect hit on a large enemy tanker bringing much-needed supplies to Rommels desert forces.
 Ten Axis planes were known to have been shot down Wednesday. but the Allied loss, including oper- ations over Malta, was only one plane.
 Front dispatches indicated that Lieutenant General B, L. Montgom- ery's Eighth Army, which includes experimentation of soldiers of many nationalities, was preparing for another heavy drive into Axis positions that might result in a full scale clash with Rommels main forces.

Plea For Judge Emm m ett Shea
 Is Voiced
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 I do not think in the heat of the present political campaign, that the fact that an outstanding Democrat and popular and highly efficient of- flee holder, Judge of Probate D. Em- met Shea, is again candidate to succeed himself in office, should any longer be overlooked in the public press.
 Judge Shea has a marvellous rec ord of probate work, and is rated by competent legal authorities in his field as the equal of any judge of probate in the entire state in the interpretation of the manifold com- plexities of his offlce. Judge Shea, in fact, is often called into other probate districts to sit in cases where the local judge disqualif1es himself.
 The local probate judge has a splendid education, received at Phil- lips Exeter academy and George town university. From the latter in- stitution he received his bachelor of laws degree, that gives him the legal foundation for the successful inter- pretation of probate laws-a very helpful aid as scores of grateful families have already found.
 Judge Shea offers every aid to families who come into the probate court, and every case whether in- yolving many thousands or mere pennies, is handled in the same courteous and highly cooperative manner. In addition to his of1cial duties Judge Shea gives willingly of his time on matters where large and scattered families are involved in estates.
 Far from seeking the limelight, Judge Shea is quiet and unassum- irg, and much of his good work is not known beyond the confines Of his office. It will be remembered however that Judge Shea was the chairman of Naugatuck's Aluminium Scrap Campaign, one of the most successful drives of it's kind con- ducted here, and that his efforts in every patriotic and municipal cam- paign are known to all.
 believe that experience, partic- ularly in probate court work, is of utmost value to the hundreds of local families, and that factor com- bined with Judge Shea's brilliant record in office, should constitute the most important reasons why he should be the popular choice next Tuesday.
 VIII you please give this letter the same prominence with which you are treating your political news of recent date.
 A Naugatuck Resident.
