$2,OOO AWARD IN
 HEART BALM CASE
Jury of Eight Men, Four Women Decided Plaintiff
 Was "Jilted"

Damages of $2,OO0 were awarded yesterday afternoon by common pleas court jury of eight men and four women to Emilia Lopes of Wa terbury in her breach of promise suit against Frank Mota, also of this city. The jury, which received its charge from Judge John Clark Fitz- gerald, deliberated an hour and five minutes.
 The plaintiff claimed promise of marriage was made March 1, 194l but that the defendant failed to keep it. She said she sold her furni- ture at a loss in preparation for marriage and new home. Damages of $2,500 were sought.
 Hearing of the case took four days of the courts time. Although more than a score of breach of promise suits have been filed in recent years the case was one of few that actu- ally went to trial. Only a few states besides Connecticut premit breach of promise actions.

 The War Council cooperated in a campaign to recruit farm labor for commercial farmers, administered by the Extension Service. From May 15 to September 25 placements totaled 14,345, including seasonal and full time workers.
 Manufacturing problems including manpower, abSenteeism and indus trial training have been approached by War Council committees which have been working with federal and state agencies to keep production in the state at peak levels.
 The War Council has encouraged the recruitment of women for work in war plants and is currently pro noting campaign, with other agen- cieS, to recruit workers for the ball bearing factories.
 War Council committees have been working in cooperation with Selective Service boards in an effort to retain essential manpower in such industries as food, feed, and fuel because of the importance of these to the economy of the state.
 To help working mothers who have small children, the Council has been interested in the establishment of child care centers. The total average attendance at AT centers has been approximately 2,000 chil- dren.
 The impact of war upon families, children and war workers has also been the subject of careful study by War Council committees which have been combating juvenile delinquen- cy and other social maladjustments.
 Because of wartime conditions and shortages information on nutri- tion and other consumer problems has been prepared from time to time by War Council committees and distributed to the public.
 "As the war goes on we have found that various economic and social problems have cropped up in Connecticut requiring coordination of efforts on statewide level," MT. Woodcock said.
 Tn assuming this role the Con- necticut War Council the local war councils and thousands of patriotic and hard working volunteers throughout the state have been making a new contribution to the war effort"

By NEA Service
 So now NEA-Acme Photographer Charles Corte wears the Order of the Purple Heart-and people who saw him in action are not bit surprised, because they saw a man with a natural affinity for front lines.
 He made the most widely-pub- lished picture of the entire Sicilian campaign: the dramatic shot of Tanks with rifles up, moving into a street still smoky from sheu-ripped buildings. He got that shot by walking five miles with reconnais- sance troops who went first to pick off enemy Snipers.
 HE'S COCKY THAT WAY
 T hear you got into Messina first" someone remarked later.
 Corte replied, Sure, I'm always first" He is always like that-cocky but daring enough tc make good his boast.
 Lieut.. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, com mander of American Forces in the European theater, pinned the deco ration on him the other day in Lo.,- don, for wounds Corte received in Kasserine Pass, Tunisia.
 He had the longest continuous frontline service of any war pho- tographer. The Army thought he was due for 8 rest after the Tuni- sian campaign, and his home of- flee sent another photographer to relieve him. But still Corte stuck through Sicily, into Italy at Sa- lerno and on across the Volturno. Finally, he moved back to AL giers for a slight operation, and was packed off to London.
 IN NAPLES BLAST
 Corte was on his way to the Naples postoffice with negatives when suddenly he was smacked down by an explosion. He picked himself up and went to work for he never got caught apart from his camera-and soon sent out the pictorial story of havoc done by delayed-action bomb the Nazis left behind.
