One can understand the request
Of a diabetic for more meat, but

Mrs. A. s.: A proposal was
made at the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation that we pave the school

il he played on grass. And chill

FIVE PEDESTRIANS
 HOLIDAY VICTIMS
Safe, Patriotic Observ= anCe of Memorial Day Is
 Asked By Officials

Five pedestrians two Of them children, were among the seven per sons killed by automobiles over the Memorial Day holiday weekend last year, Motor Vehicles Commis- sioner John T. Mccarthy pointed out today in plea for careful walking as well as safe driving over this weekend.
 Tt is patriotic to walk" the con- missioner said, and a fitting way to travel on the day dedicated to those who have sacrificed every thing for their countrys welfare But walk with care and after dark go out of your way to cross the street at lighted place,
 If you have to drive, drive safe ly and keep alert for pedestrians Many parents will be working over the holiday and consequently many children will be free to play with little or no supervision. In spite o1 the best safety lessons, children vii do the sudden, thoughtless thing They are the drivers responsibility
 Last year over the Memorial Day weekend, there were 146 accidents in Connecticut with 92 persons in. jured and seven killed"
 Commissioner Mccarthy suggest. ed that more people on foot, plu dim-out lighting conditions may partly explain why pedestrian deaths are unexpectedly high in re. lation to teh amount of automobile traffic.
 Forty-one pedestrians, five O. them children, were killed in Con. necticut during the first fouI months of this year as compared tc 47. six of them children, killed dur. ing that period last year. Beside the 41 pedestrians killed during tht first four months this year, 548 were injured, 58 of them critically. Las year. 794 were injured during tho same period.

Besides these two leading stars, Li- bra contains one star of the fourth magnitude and nine of the fifth. The star Delta Librae, located above and between Alpha and Beta, is a noted short period variable, chang ing about every two days from the fifth down to less than the sixth magnitude and back again.

Fly dra's head is toward the west, under Cancer, and is represented by a pentagon of stars-Zeta, Epsilon Ca telescopic double), Delta, Sigma, and Eta. The brightest star of the con- stellation, Alpha or Alphard, is To- cated on a line with the eastern edge of Cancer and below the fore paws of Leo. It is also called Cor Hydrea because 1t marks the Ser pent's heart. Alphard's relatively solitary situation and orange-yellow color make it conspicuous.

The new system speeds up mail sorting for distribution and permits more rapid handling of mail by in experienced postal clerks, who have been employed to replace personnel who are serving in the armed forces and war industries. Postmaster Charles A. Babin said in a state ment today, Although heavy blow has been dealt us through the loss of 20 per cert of our experienced personnel, it's effect has been min imized through the persent unit plan which will greatly facilitate the rapid handling of mail in the present emergency.
 A greater part of the incoming and outgoing volume of letters and parcels, he asserted. is that of serv- icemen and their relatives and friends, and the new system will be an aid to morale in its efficiency and rapid distribution.
 Relief to oyerburdended postal workers is another asset of the plan MT Dwyer added. The average work week in the service now is about 52 hours, and in many post offices, em- ployes are working 10 and 12 hours a day, seven days a week, because of personnel shortage. This condi- ton will be now alleviated, he de- clared.
 The public's response to the new plan has been gratifying" MT DWyer concluded, and announce ment of the assigned unit numbers to the public will be made through the mail very shortly.
 Following is the last list of streets and numbers of the system which will be printed in this newspaper. Added to previous installments, it provides complete list of over l. 900 districts of this city to which numbers have been assigned.
