Winsted, June 25. - Judgment in favor of all defendants is granted by Judge Frank P. McEvoy in the action of Harold A. Johnson of Rye. N. r., and Linda P. Kopp of Wa tertown against the Town of Watertown, the Evergreen Cemetery Association, and three Selectmen of Watertown: Warren A. Parker, Wil- mot Hungerford, and w. Harry Byrnes, according to @ decision just filed here.
 Harold Johnson and Linda Kopp, the plaintiffs, each own a dwelling house, located on opposite sides Of the road, on Pine Street In Water town. This had been private street, closed at one end. This street was later opened at the dead end and extended to property of the Evergreen Cemetery Association. The plaintiffs, in their action, claimed $10,0OO damages and asked the Litchfield County Superior Court to issue an injunction requiring the defendants to close the end of the street so that it would not become a public passageway. The Town of Watertown claimed that the street had been accepted by the town and that 1t was. therefore, a public highway.
 Attorney Lester W. Schaefer of Winsted represented the Town or Watertown, Attorneys Carmody, Lark and Torrance of Waterbury appeared for the Evergreen Ceme- tery Association, and Attorney John H. Carmody of Waterbury was coun- sel for the Selectmen.

 Psychiatry marches on! Illinois seems to be leading the way, with New York State tied for equal honors in playing humanity's part in the care and treatment of men, tai and nervous ills. The rest of the country will do well to pat tern after both Illinois and New York where is being built up 8 sound and informed public opinion through carefully planned publicity for the psychiatric machinery. In Illinois, an efficient Public Rela- tions Department is maintained, with Erin Singer, of Chicago, as Supervisor of Public Relations of the Department of Public Welfare which has supervision of the mental institutions. Illinois also publishes regular official bulletins and these are mailed all over the country. New York State pays much attention to adveytising or selling" administra- tive psychiatry to the people by means of several ably edited publi- cations, chief among these being Psychiatric Quarterly and Mental Hygiene News. Pennsylvania, 1Ta- cidentally, also issues an interesting quartefav Mental Health Bulletin, filled With informative articles and news of State Hospital progress In that commonwealth.
 While these states move forward other states are satisfied with the minimum of publicity for the men tai institutions. This is not Q healthy sign if existing prejudices against mental hospitals are to be cast into the discard.

LACK OF FUNDS DELAYS PLANS
No Large Blood Plasnla Re- serve to Be Established
 Here

Lack of sufficient funds and dif, ficulty in securing necessary mater. ials make the prospects for building up Q large blood plasma reserve here in the near future very dim, accord ing to pr. Joseph Het1el, chairman of the Waterbury Defense Councils blood plaSrna reserve committee.
 The most that can be expected in federal aid is $1,0O0, though efforts are being made to secure more. Cost of setting up the reserve is esti- mated at $10,00U. Tn addition, prt- critics requirements make 1t ex- tremely difficult to secure the ap. paratuS needed.
 The local goal is Q blood plasma reserve of 500 pints. This would be available in case of major disas- ter.
 Dr. Hetzel and his committee plan to build up as large a reserve as pos- sible with the funds and apparatus that are made available.

THE COLOR BARRIER IN EMPLOYMENT

The war effort is bound to contribute considerably
lowering the color barriers industry The Presi-
dents executive order and the work of the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee already have resulted in
ening employment for colored workers in factories
and plants where formerly they given work,
if any ALL only jantors and porters. recent piece
of news big with significance is the report that repre-
sentative group of manufacturers engaged in producing
war materials is giving serious thought to the plans for
employing coored workers in semi-skied and skilled
occupations The attitude of this group expressed in
an article published in the December issue Of Manage
men Record official organ of the National Industrial Con-
ference Board. They convinced that coored skilled
and semskled workers up equally with skilled
and sem-skied white workers in ability, SKILL produc-
tion regularity attendance accident record and general
intelligence that white workers with few exceptions have
no objection working with colored workers and that the
overwhelming majority of labor unions do discriminate
against coored workers and welcome them within their
membership
The findings of the Boards survey for 402 manufac-
turing plants in New England, Middle Atlantic, North
Central Southern States thus summarized by the
National Race Congress:
Seventy said the coored workers ability and skill
equaed that of his white fellow worker said he had
found it better Eghy-fve said production levels
equal for colored white workers Five said the

Before the defense emergency, the survey revealed
2e5 firms employed colored only as jantors

skilled occupations. Since the emergency thirteen

These men were wise for in
their last days they set out in
search for Christ, willing to
give up the best they had
knowing that soon shall come
day when He shall not be
found. They were wise for they
knew that soon that inn would
have been empty and that
their trip if not made in time
would have been made in vain
They were wise because they
knew that il they did not
bring the best nothing else
could suffice. They were wise.
because they knelt down and
worShipped and believed that
which they found was the
Christ for whom they had
searched. So let US be wise in
our youth and wise in our old
age and seek now this babe of
Bethlehem that lieth in the inn
before the day Of seeking and
the day Of finding and the day
OF worshipping be no more.
