VARIOUS AGENCIES {. SHARE EQUIPMENT
War Production Training
 Center Here Benefits Z By Ruling

As reported yesterday the local War Production Training Center will benefit by the allocation of idle N. Y. A. equipment now being item ized by the State Department of Ed- ucation.
 Edward J. stepeck, educational supervisor for the state in charge of all War Production Training Centers yesterday reported to the Democrat, in an exclusive interview, that he had definitely been informed by Federal authorities that Water bury will receive the bulk of the material that will eventually be al- loted to the Connecticut area.
 As stated most of the vehicular equipment of the now defunct fed- eral agency has been allotted to the Army and Navy with the housing facilities formerly used at Wangum Lodge at Wethersfeld being taken over by the Federal Housing Au- thority.
 Because of the fact that the local training center had been cooperat- ing with the MA. programs in the state as of June 30, they are now in position to receive first priority on all available equipment. The bulk of the equipment that will be given the local center will be made up of such industrial material as lathes, millers, planers, etc.
 Recently, MT. Stepeck, Frederick A. Judisch. local supervisor and George McNamara, instructor at the local center, made an inventory of the equipment now stored at the former MA. center on West Main street, and chose that which they believed would best suit the needs of the training school
 The War Production Training Program is 8 federal sponsored function and administered by the State Department of Education. They are under the jurisdiction of the D. s. Department of Education and their work together with the certificates issued by them to train- ees completing the prescribed in- dustrial courses, are authorized by the War Department.

help a bit in spotting a red signal.
About five per cent Of the appli-
cants for flying training in the
Army Air Forces are rejected be-
cause Of color blindness.
Unscrupulous quacks all over
the country are taking advantage
of color-blmd lads who want to get
into the service. They offer treat
ments which include electrical
stimulation of the eye muscles.
vitamins, coIored glasses and
~coior education" Some Of them
charge SIS for a series of treat
ments, and claim to correct a
mild case in a week.
AD&baxs Pas Is On
Color blindness is primarily
hereditary. Mothers pass the ham
dicap on to their sons and occa-
sionally pass the latent character
istics on to their daughters, who
IN turn cause their sons to be color
blind. One man out Of every Is
is color blind; one woman out of
every ESQ.
Often a boy never knew he was
color-blmd until he took the tests.
He may have wondered why his
brother in the strawberry patch
could find so many Large, luscious
berries when he could spot only
the small green ones (wbite to
him). He may have wondered
why people raved about a sum
set when it was plain gray.
Fortunately, few people have
this extreme red-green color blind
ness and are only inconvenienced
by the defect when identifying
shades Of pink. yellow. blue, green.
In military service, however,
even these mild defects are of vital
concern. Signal lights, flags and
markers must be recognized in
fog, dusk or in the glare of burst
ing bombs. The reading of colored
maps is imperative. In spottimg
gunfire at sea, identification is
often by means of colored she'll
splashes. An aviation pilot must
have completely normal color
vision to make a forced landing,
if necessary, on a terrain of various
shades Of brown and green
marsh, plowed field or woodland.

understand these facts about color
blindness -GRAeE NAlsaTH

Scrimgerour Indictment

An indictment charging William
Scrimgerour, Washington contractor
and engineer, with making false
statements to the Government in
connection with some of the ST ,OOO.-
600 in Navy contracts he negotiated
was attacked in District Court to-

In arguments on a demurrer to the
indictment, defense attorneys claim
ed the charges contained in the in

charges were true, would be to can

ment quashed.

A record petroleum production rate
Of 4,694,200 barrels a day has been

Ickes announced today.
That is a net increase Of $500
barrels a day over production rec
commended for November.
Only in the Eastern States was a
slightly lower rate set to conform
with productive capacity of the oil
fields in that area.

An increase in Texas output was
attributed to measures promulgated
by that States Railroad Commission
In the interest of preventing physical
waste in the East Texas field.
In the Rocky Mountain States new
drilling and adjustments of produc-
tion rates for several important fields
have resulted in additional produc-
tive capacity. This is also true of
the Pacific Coast area.
In the meantime, Representative
Gown, Republican, of Pennsylvania,

"The important thing about a
price increase is that it would work
and get results, and a subsidy would
bog down in the same swamp of
bureaucratic delays, red tape and
vacillations as the rest of their (the
administrations programs" he said
in speech yesterday.
Referring to administration con-
tentions that suggested increase
of IS cents barrel in oil prices

Mr.. Gavin said subsidy payments
for wildcat drillings alone would
cost that much.

Ice FoIIies Cost
One Big Family

New Haven, Nov. 24-"Just one
big happy family That fits exact
ly the Ice Follies, the famed skating
show which opens weeks run at
the New Haven Arena on Monday,
Dec. 10.
Regardless of the part played by
each of the cast of 1870, all are re-
garded as important cogs in the
machine. Consideration of the large
company is a watchword with Roy
and Eddie Shipstad and Oscar John
son, who produce and also play
leading roles in the show. No group
of boarding school girls could be
more carefully chaperoned than the
skating principals and the members
of the chorus. Most of the members
OF the company are regular church
goerS.
During the coast to coast tour the
skaters are guests of the manage
men; at arties--Christmas, New
Years and other holidays. Each has
an insurance and disqualification
policy presented by the manage
ment, and in a number of different
ways they are shown courtesies BY
their employees.
1t pays dividends on the ice, not
only for the management, but for
the spectators as well. The high
morale means finer performances
and it all adds up to make the Ice
Follies truly the greatest show on
ice.
