The analysis Of type accidents
and their total is as follows: pedes-
trian IT; sliding 8; bicycle a;
scooter l; roller skating l, for to-
tai of 81 accidents.
The month of June showed to-
tai of eight accidents Of which
three involved children riding bicy-
cles.
The monthly analysis Of accidents
is as follows: January, 6; February,
2; March, 7; April, 4; May, 4; June,
8.
Said Officers Dwyer, with the
vacation period now on and the
children away from the strict sup
ervision Of their safety education
given them by their teachers there
will be a tendency for them to relax
their vigilance against accidents.
Now it is up to the parents to
assist the Police Department in pre-
venting child accidents by constant
ly warning the children about play
ing in dangerous and hazardous
places The Fairgrounds are now
open and it would be advisable for
the parents to see that there is the
place for the children to play safe
ly and under proper supervision

RUSSIAN-P0LISH
AMITY SEEN NEAR

Moscow, July 10-CUP)-A eulogy
in the government organ IZvestia of
the late Gen. WladfslaW Sikorski,
reafirming Soviet hope for restora-
ton Of a strong, independent Po-
land after the war, was interpreted
in some circles today as a Russian
bid for resumption Of relations with
the Polish refugee government.
1t was indicated, however, that
the bid was conditioned by an indi-
rectly expressed proviso that any
new Polish government succeeding
Sikorskis be purged of those minis
tiers considered anti-Russian.
The article said that the postwar
Polish state should have friendship
for Russia as part of its foundation
and remarked that SikorSki, pre-
mier and commander in chief of
Polish armies, was one of the few
Polish statesmen responsible for
good feeling between the TWO coun-
tries.

Mayor Endorses
Campaign To Buy
New Shangri-La

"Next year the cost of the war
will be nearly double the legal
debt limit of 1910. This is our
war and we must pay for it. If
our contributions are not made
voluntarily it will be necessary
for our Government to enforce
collections through increased tax
es or forced savings.
To help us realize the part our
money plays in financing the war,
a campaign has been Started to
obtain, through the purchase of
war bonds and stamps, sufficient
funds to build a carrier to take
the place of the U. S. S. Hornet,
the Shanghai of the April 18th,
1912 bombing of Tokyo The new
carrier will be another Shangri-
La and from her decks will rise
planes which will visit upon Japan
the same destruction which was
wrought at Pearl Harbor.
I appeal to the people Of the
City Of Waterbury, through this
special drive, to purchase war
stamps and bonds above their reg
ular schedule, and in this way to
make a substantial increased con-
tribution to the success of our
fighting men.

NEED MESSENGERS
FOR RAID WARDENS
Local Communities Urged
to Augment Personnel
By Appointments

State Air Raid Warden Ralph
5. Goodsell of the Connecticut Wal
Council today urged local communi-
ties to undertake recruiting drive
FOR messengers SO that there would
be one messenger available for every

In letter to local war council
authorities Mr.. Goodsell said: Mes
sengers are extremely important,
because if we are confronted with
actual raid conditions we are very
apt to find ourselves without any
means of communication other than
messengers. An ideal situation
would be for each warden to have a
messenger. At least we should have
a messenger easily accessible tc
every warden"
Mr.. Goodsell also suggested that q
depty chief air raid warden be as
signed in local communities II
charge of messengers and that re-
cruiting drive begin Immediately sc
that the boys and girls may be
trained for use in the protective
services of civilian defense.
In another communication to 10,
cal authorities Thomas E. MarSton
deputy administrator, announced
that the messenger service will CONF
under the jurisdiction and super
vision of the chief air raid warder
in each community. Heretofore, the
messengers have been under the
communications officer in cities anc
towns.
