POLICE RAN OUT
OF COMPLAINTS
Five Counts Against New
Haven Visitor; Three
Settled for 90 Days

Patrick Lavazzuo, 30. Of Il Hamil-
ton street, New Haven, was sem
fenced to 100 consecutive days" In
jail on three counts todar by Judge
John Gaffney in the municipal
court.
Lavazzuo was originally arrested
on the charge Of breach Of the
peace and intoxication after 'caus-
ing little trouble" In q restaurant,
said patrolman. Timothy Hurley
and Patrick Cluney who booked him
at the police staten.
While the accused was being
weighed, he fought strenuously with
the patrolmen, consequently q
charge Of resistance was placed
against him, police reported.
After that he reached into his
rear pocket and drew a folding
type straight razor from It. but the
police snatchd 1t from his person
and placed the fourth charge
against him--for concealing a dam
gerous weapon.
Charges ended there although at
the time he had no draft card or
draft classification notice on his
person and the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation was notified, Licuten-
ant Bernard Burns, desk ofiiceF
said.
The accused pleaded guilty to the
first three counts, but not TO the
charge Of carrying q dangerous
weapon. The accused explained that
he happened TO put the razor into
his pocket because he's accustomed
to doing that when he's through
shaving"
Judge Gaifney sentenced him to
30 days TO each Of the first three
counts and suspended sentence on
the fourth count.

Is no afterlife, Human personality

assume II It has no hope Of Its en-

to the values of human personality,
are there any values on which We
may be sure He places premium?

Reductions in point values of
cheese are in order, with an an
nouncement from the OPA that
point decreases may be effected in
the same manner as for meats that
are in danger Of spoilage. Local
retailers had complained that
cheese was selling slowly and that
the product would spoil If the pres
ent point schedule remains in force.
The ration board requires notice of
reductions. Price decreases must

Newspapers have told of the re-
vival of a romance after a score and
more of years. The pathway of a
Brooklyn couple divided sharply
after lovers spat, Ones road led
far south, and the others to the Pa
cifc coast. Then a few months ago
the man read in a New Orleans
newspaper the name and address of
the sweetheart of his youth. He
wrote; and she replied. The rest
of the story is not mine, but theirs
except that the man came on from
California, and she up from old Or
leans; the ritual words were said
at the Little Church Around the Cor
ner, and now they are at home to
friends in Santa Rosa.

NEW YORK-All the way from
Washington Irving high school on
the teeming gray East Side to Evan
der Childs school in the Bronx, boys
and girls from these popuolus bor-
oughs are back again to books and
classroom routine There are nine
hundred thousand of them this year,
who will be digging knowledge out
of printed mines till summer come
again. Things have changed woe
fully for the better. Teachers all
tell me there are no truants any
more. These youngsters go off to
school of mornings without being
scourged there with a cato nine
tails, and what is more they all pro-
fess to like it now 1t was different
when some of us were young, with
members of the juvenile student
body snatching every opportunity to
go hookying away with others of
their kind, Teachers gratuitously
predicted some of us would come to
no good end; but from my old one
room country school some of these
early rapscallions have themselves
become instructors of the young;
some are ministers of the gospel;
others are high up in the world of
finance and trade; one is dean of a
college of law, and one achieved
prominence as a train and bank rob
Der. There was one boy whom
most of us lay awake every night
to hate, because he was so industri-
ously good. All our parents held
him up as a shining example OF
what the rest of us should aim to be;
SO we hoped he would be run over
by a train, or commit some heinous
crime and be sent to the penitentiary
for life. But he has been disgust
ingly successful in one of the learned
professions, and is still eminently
strong on righteousness.

Post Office Jobs
For War Veterans

Under regulations made possible
by an Executive Order which was
recently signed, veterans will be
guaranteed an opportunity to COM
pete for jobs in the field service of
the Post Office Department after the
war, the United States Civil Service
Commission announced today I'm
der a previous Executive Order, it
was provided that the Commission
was authorized to adopt and pre-
scribe special procedures and regu-
lations for all Federal agencies ex-
.cept positions in the field service of
the Post Office Department The
new Executive Order drops this ex
ception for all postal positions other
than postmaster,
The Commission now plans, in CO.
operation with the Post Office De-
partment, to extend the operation
of war service appointments to the
field service of the postal establish
ment. This is particularly import
ant because there are more than
$4,000 positions in this part of the
service, exclusive of postmasters.
Under war service regulations,
the tenure of positions is for peri
cd of not to exceed the duration of
the war and six months thereafter.
BY delaying the filling of positions
permanently in the field service of
the postal establishment until after
the war, veterans will be given am
pie opportunity to compete for
permanent appointments.
From the point of view of good
administration, the order will pre-
vent the automatic continuance in
Government employment after the
war of some less well-qualified per-
sons who might be appointed as a
result of the labor shortage. It is
well known that all employment
requirements both in public en-
ployment and in private industry
have been lowered because of the
increasing difficulty of obtaining
well-qualified persons for many
types of positions, and it can be ex-
pected that with greater competi-
ton better qualified employees can
be obtained after the war.
The Executive Order is therefore
believed to be distinctly beneficial
/ to war veterans and in the interests
of good administration. The Com
mission will, of course, continue to
hold competitive examinations for
these postal positions, but appoint
ments hereafter will be only ''for
the duration"
