cISs
 As part of the nation wide drive now in progress, these task forces" of patriotic Americans are asking subscribers to Say Yes" to the question May deliver enough War Stamps to you each week to fill your album?"
 In this way they are providing an unequalled service in the sale and actual delivery of War Stamps to homes.
 Many of the carrier boys have fathers, brothers and close relatives in the service. For this reason es- pecially, they are heart and soul behind hte objective of the cam- paign, the slogan of which is "A half filled album is like a half equipped soldier" There'll be no half-filled albums at the end of the drive if the newspaper carriers of the country have their way.

 state Picture
 Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 23-(UP)- The kerosene situation in Connecti- cut is becoming "more acute by the hour" Gov. Baldwin said today, as reports drifted in of some families already suffering from lack of fuel to heat their homes.
 Emergency public housing for Hocky Hill residents was being ar- ranged as reports said there was lit- tie more than 24-hour's supply of fuel on hand. Two families last night exhausted their remaining supply, and abandoned their homes to go to relatives houses.
 Most kerosene dealers throughout the state were scraping the bottom of their supply tanks, 1t was said. Some stocks were dribbling in from outside the state, but 1t was only Q fraction of the need.
 New Haven fuel supplies were in bad shape, authorities said, as May or John w. Murphy appealed to Gov. Baldwin for aid. Families were appealing to the city charity depart- ment there for fuel, the Mayor said.
 Gov. Baldwin said he was working on a supply pooling arrangement to divert fuel from one section of tie state to another if the need arose. .

URGE TRAINING IN ARMY SKILLS
 BY HIGH SCHOOLS

Washington, Jan. g - (UP) - Pre-induction training for all able. bodied boys before they attain theil eighteenth birthday is being recon. mended by the Educational Policie. of the National Education Associa. ton, professional organization oi educators.
 Training would be accomplished through the high schools, which would issue certificates of compe- tence to boys who successfully com- pleted one or more pre-inductior courses, according to plans Sug- gest:d in a series of studies ano recommendations by the commis- sion made for forthcoming publi- cation, What the Schools Should Teach in Wartime. Army reception centers would receive the certifi- cates upon the induction of each boy.
 Needs Many Specialists
 More than 600 out of every 1000 men inducted to the Army are needed for specialized training
 So far the Army has had to train most of these men but the com- mission urges that secondary schools assure the responsibility of providing some of this special ized training before induction. AL ready the Army and the U. S. Office fo Education have prepared series of induction courses, based on the technical manuals used in the Army. as well as mate- rial for special aviation training in high schools.
 Besides action by local and state school systems in rapidly convert ing their programs to the task of training large numbers of men in the skills required by the military services, the commission recom- ments overall national planning and research in order to co-ordi- nate Army needs and the school preparation of tests of aptitudes and outcomes of instruction in the various fields, with a continuing survey of school facilities and per- sonnel qualified to give the in- struction. In areas of instruction where sufficient number of quail flied teachers is lacking, plans and facilities for the preparation and ln-service education of such teach CTS should be provided, the com- mission believes, while, tall the needed equipment should be pre- pared and made available to the participating schools.
