Litigation In Local Courts

Ralph Devino, doing business as the Waterbury Mason Supply & Lumber Company, has filed $2,000 civil action in common pleas court against Thomas and Jennie Bonisuto, also of this city, as the re- suit of alleged debt of $1,18915.
 The plaintiff claims he sold lum- Der, paint, mason, and hardware supplies to the defendant between 1930 and 1941 for $8102.56 but pay ment has totaled only $6,91341. Since last April ' all of his property has been in the name of Jennie Bon- visuto, allegedly to defraud and cheat his creditors, the complaint states. The action was returned by Attorney Francis B. Feeley.
 In a memorandum of decision handed down today in the compen- sation claim appeal filed by Anthony Guerrero against w. J. Megin, Inc, Superior Court Judge William H, Comley asks for transcript of evil dence from the compensation court. Two other appeals of the plaintiff one from the compensation commits sioner's refusal to correct the find ing and award and the other from his refusal to grant an extension of time in filing certain papers in the case, were dismissed. The litigation is based on injuries sustained by the plaintiff March II, 1888 and al- legged inadequate compensation pay ments. The final decision will be made after submission of the trans script, it was indicated.
 Domenic Triano of Naugatuck has filed a $15,000 damage suit in su- perior court against the Naugatuck National bank, administrator of the will of John w. Woodcock, for serv- ice allegedly rendered to the de- ceased from 1921 to the time of death, last Aug. 16.
 The plaintiff specifies that since 1924 he travelled 25,000 miles in serv- ice to MT. WoodCock. Several trips to other states are listed in the complaint, as are specific household services and other care allegedly rendered by the plaintiff, who claims he was promised bequest.

Procedure Is Outlined
10 Get Canning Sugars

Raleigh, May l0.-Proccdurc by
which North Carolina housewives
will obtain sugar for home canning
and freezing of this seasons fruit
crop on and after May Is was an
nounced today by the Office of Price
Administration.
for home canning is being allotted
on substantially the same basis as
last year-that is, one pound for
each four quarts Cor eight poundsJ
Of the finished product, and by es-
scntially the same proCedurc-writ-
ten application to the local board.
A top limit Of 25 pounds of sugar
per person is set in the new rcguI;t-
tions, which become effective May
Is. The OPA emphasizes, however,
that the 25-pound figure is Il MAY
imum, to be granted only in the re-
lativcly few cases where this large
amount of fruit will be canned and
preserved.
Last year there was no nation
wide ceiling over the amount that
was allowed each person, but MANY
local boards set individual limits OF
10 or Is pounds, while others gran.-
ed Individual amounts as high as ID
pounds. The new limit of % puunt;S
per person assures more uniform,
treatment although it is not expect
ed that many families will apply for
the maximum amount
Within the 25-pound per person
limit. any family can apply for sugar
TO put up jams, jcllicS, and prcser-
YES at the rate of five pounds per in
dividual. This is more generous
allowance than last year, when sugar
for preserves was limited 10 one
pound per person.
OPA Is allowing increased amounts
of sugar this year for jams, JcllicS,
and preserves so that these can be
used more extensively as a spread
to stretch the butter and margarine
ration.
The method by which housewives
will get their home canning sugar
tins year has been Simplificd cOnsid-
erably. Result will be saving oil
time and trouble for them as we'll as
for the local boards.
Families in North Carolina have
been obtaining their sugar for home
canning for several weeks under last
years regulations.
Local boards throughout the cOtn-
try will receive written applications
under the new provisions on and
after May Is. No special form is re-
quircd unless it is plannc dto sell
