GRATEFUL YOUTH THANKS OFFICER
Lieutenant Bender Re- Ceives Letter From Navy;
 Police Theory Upheld

Detective Lieutenant Joseph Bendler today received a letter from 8 teen-age youth he befriended not long ago, when the boy was irhpli- cated in a number of petty thievery cases. The boy, now in the Navy, thanked the detective for helping him to keep out of trouble, and told about how much he enjoys life in the service.
 The letter, in part, follows:
 q am writing to thank you for keeping me out of trouble, and I realize now that the Navy is the only place where I can become a man. l like the life, and I have no bad marks against me. So far, I have been kept on land duty, but I am anxious to get out to sea and do my part in the fight"
 Had it not been foF Lieutenant Bendler, the boy would have had a police record, and would not have been able to enlist. A regulation passed during depression years, for- bids anyone who has any kind of criminal record from joining the armed forces, and it has long. been the contcation of Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens of the detective bureau, that many good boys have been kept from enl!sting on this grounds. Captain Stevens is of the opinion that the prohibition against boys who have been involved in some minor trouble, stands as a stern indictment of our reform school system. The reformers claim that they make the boys better, the captain points out, but apparently they still don't think them fit to defend their country.

Tn on section of the city did dealers report run on goods which are to be rationed beginning Fep- ruary l. Some clerks and managers admitted that in a few isolated cases, home owners seemed to De hoarding, and buying up all avan- able merchandise while the buying is good. But the more general res- ponse was that housewives are showing no inclination to stock up ahead of the deadline.
 Limit On Goods
 Many stores throughout the city have limited customers to single cans, in order to i'll all requests during the time between now and the ration deadline.
 One prominent rnercharls express ed the opinion that the trefnerld- ous amount of advance publicity which precedes the rationing of goods, puts the grocers in bad spot. He pointed out that although his customers have been very fair about the procedure 1t is only hu- man nature to stock up ahead if there is to be a shortage. He felt that If the publicity were less, many people would pass over the items with little interest, and there would be no burden on the shoulders Of the retailer to hold back goods.
 Others feel, however, that the El- lner Davis test of patriotism IS a good one to determine just what our. attitude is as @ nation in wartime. They believe that local residents have accepted the challenge of the government, and acquitted ther1- selves creditably,
 SCavenger Hunt
 Retail dealers know that if cus- toners are bound they are going to cheat, there is no way of stopping them. They realize that by limiting consumers to single cans, they may make hoarding a little more compli- cated, but they are not putting an end to it. Persons are known to have gone on scavenger hunt through grocery stores, picking up can here and can there, until they have enough to last them for the duration. But this is the eXcep- tion rather than the rule, grocers feel.
 In New Haven, customers seeking to buy goods in dozen lots broughi on a run, which was short-livet and finally dissipated by the order to sell only one can to a person Pork and beans, and pineapple can. were the ones most widely sought after during the last week, retail. CTS report.
