CHRISTMAS SEAL PAINTINGS READY
Limited Number for Stamp Collectors Arrive at State
 Headquarters

Hartford, December Is. A limited number of the four print ings of the tuberculosis Christmas Seal for this year have just been received at the office of the Con- necticut Tuberculosis Association, according to an announcement made today py Miss Mabel Baird, executive secretary. Miss Baird stated that because so many re- quests have come from stamp col lectorS and others, that exchanges were made with western states to secure some or the other printings, the Eureka and the United States printings being the kind generally circulated in Connecticut this year.
 Only few sheets of the Edwards and Deutsch and the Strowbridge are available here, and for this req son the supply is being distributed directly from the state headquarters at 43 Pennington avenue. Hartford, Conn, rather than through the local associations, although purchases of full sheets of these seals will be credited to the local committees, Miss Baird said.
 The various printings, according to philatelists, have their individual plate markings on each sheet and the position of the identification mark is on the 56th seal, counting from the top of the sheet in hori- zontal position With the "E" on the lower right corner on the Eureka seals; as "S" on the Strowbridge; a ID" on the Edwards and Deutsch; and a "U" on the United States printing.

No Relaxation Here
 In Milk Inspections
Production Distribution Checked Continually Despite
 Emergency Curtailments; Inspections Listed

Discussing the milk and food sit uation relative to sanitary condi- tions local city health officer, Dr. Dr. E. J. Godfrey in his annual re- port states that there has been no relaxation throughout the year in the supervision of the production and distribution of milk despite emergency curtailments.
 Because of transportation diff culvies certain restrictions have been placed upon the delivery of milk but this has in no way inter- ferred with the carrying out of the requirements of the milk ordinance. Over 90 per cent of the entire sup ply Is pasteurized, less than 1 per cent is certified and the balance, raw, comes from herds tested for tuberculosis and Bangs disease, un- der federal supervision. Routine analyses were made of all samples taken from each producers and dealers supply.
 Computed from data as given by our dealers the daily average num- Der of quarts Of milk sold is 43,725 making the daily average consump- tion eight hundred eighty one thousandth s(.88O) of a pint per person. All farms and distributing plants must conform to all sanitary requirements. In. these times of stress and fooS rationing milk should be used more abundantly.
 During the year there was discus sed with the Commissioners of Pub lie Health the possibility of seek ing, through Federal Aid, the serv- ices of an additional food inspector. The Board decided such a proce- dure would be to tEe city's advan- tageS, since now more than ever there was need for greater vigil ance in food distribution for human consumption. Those in charge of Federal Aid thought very favorably

history that was of the world be- fore the war, Judge Slavin knew as well as anyone we ever met. It was an education to listen to him in his citations of various recog- nized authorities on different inn partant subjects. The present war bothered and worried him; he often spoke of the thousands of young Connecticut manhood, and the sons of our own Waterbury people now at the battlefront. He thought of his own young days, free of wars, save the Span ish conflict, and compared them with the youth of today, who must go to war and fight for the free dom of our country, even more than was the case in World War I. Expressing 8 wish for quick ending he hoped for the day he would see our lads marching home to their parents in victory, and just as they were, if pos- sible, when they left Waterbury.
 Judge Slavin was an asset in the deep friendship and feeling he held for all Waterbury people. He was good in all lines, a rare citizen, and true friend.

Waterbury school children. leav- ing yesterday for their Chr..t:..:.s vacation, received for the fourth consecutive year copies of the chi.- dren's safety alphabet prepared by Officer William Dwyer, school safe ty instructor, and Officer James Lit- tie of the Accident Prevention Bu- reau, which Captain William Dug gan heads.
 This year & message from Mayer John s. Monagan congratuiatiEg the children on their cooperatic.l Il with the war effort, and urging them to practice safety at all times was included. The message follows: Dear Girls and Boys:
 We wish to extend to all chii- dren of Waterbury holiday greet ings and congratulations for your splendid cooperation in helping to win the war on the home front We must continue to collect scrap iron, tin cans and waste-papel We must buy as many war-stamps and bonds as possible to help pay for items necessary to win the war. Waterbury went over the top in every drive we had and this was due to the efforts made by the children of this city. And now for the most important job of all, that of keeping out of ac- cidents. Fellas and Gals. If you are healthy you should be happy, and please, don't lose your health through some careless act on your part. During the winter season we have many outdoor sports such as: sliding, skating and ski- ing and so forth which are all healthy exercises If we enjoy them in a safe place. We ask you to use the parks where you will have police protection. Don't use any pond or river to do your skating. The factories draw water from these rivers and ponds daily which means that the depth of the water will change in two or three hours which may result in tragedy for anyone skating upon these.
 We ask you above all, please have respect for your neighbours property and don't do anything that will cause you to become in volved with the police.
 In closing we say Be Careful. Be courteous to your neighbors and playmates; Respect the other fellows rights. This is the AM ERICAN Creed.
 A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO AILe JOHN s. MONAGHAN, Mayor And the WATERBURY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
