Autoists Must Report Mshaps hvolUing Dogs Penalties Prescribed for Hit-and-Run Drivers Statutes Insist Upon Formal Reports
 Describing Accidents in Detail

Operators of motor vehicles are to report all injuries to dogs is dis cussed in the following article writ ten by Drillmaster William c. Dwyer, of the police accident pre- vention bureau. This is based on Section 495c of the state statutes.
 Any person who shall have know ledge of causing, by the operation of a motor vehicle, injury or death to a dog, shall at once stop and render such assistance as may be possible, shall immediately report such injury or death to such dogs owner or such owners representa- tive and shall give his name, ad-
 dress and operators license and registration numbers to such owner or representative or any witness or peace officer. If unable to ascetain and locate such owner or repre- sentative, such operator shall, at once report the injury or death to a police officer, constable, state police officer or inspector of motor vehicles, to whom he shall give the location of such accident and description of the dog. Any person who shall violate any provision Of this section shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars. No oper- ator shall be convicted under the provisions of subsection (A) of section 1884 of the general statutes when said operator shall have caused injury or death to a dog. (Section 1584) Subsection (A) per

tains to the law on Evading Re- sponsibility.
 Many accidents are caused by dogs running wild around the streets and in violation of state law which forbids a situation as this to exist. There have been drivers who, ill order to avoid striking a dog, have driven their car off the road causing great damage to the vehicle. The dog, in the meantime has sauntered off to another street to give some other driver the same kind of thrill. Incidentally, the dog is also used as an alibi by some drivers who go off the road because of some reckless act and when the policeman arrives to in veStigate the operator tells him that it was necessary to sWerve suddenly to avoid hitting a dog. On the other side of the ledger there is much to be said in favor of dogs, as they are considered by most people to be mans best friend. I cannot think of a happier child than the one who has his own pup to follow him around all day never leaving him for moment, and on the other hand there is no greater picture of dejection, in my opinion, than the dog tied up every day in the week straining at the rope or chain until exhausted. So to the drivers we say, please remember that some child'S whole life may be concerned on that pup that so carelessly dashes out in front of your car.

Delay in Paying Deserved Unemployment COmpen-
 satiOn May Be Avoided

Hartford, Con-, May 27.-Because of evident misunderstanding by some employers in failing to file un- employment notices when workers leave their employ, James J. Gra- ham, executive director of the En- ployment Security Division. today issued statement emphasizing the importance Of filing these forms, as unemployment benefits to workers are based on these reports.
 According to MT. Graham, som. employers thought that the releas. notice required by the Manpowet Commission under the job freeze dj rective replaced the unemployment report. Failing to make this latte> return, workers have been subjed to delay in getting unemployment, compensation, MT. Graham said.
 Eligibility of a worker for un employment compensation is based on the notice we receive from em~ ployers that the worker has term, mated his service. This unemploy ment notice is used for no othei purpose; it has nothing Whatevel to do with any other form required by other agencies" MT. Graham stated. "As it is the only proof We have of an applicants eligibility for unemployment compensation, urge employers to file these returns with the Unemployment Department, as required by state regulations promptly as in the past"

HEAVY LAB0RERS
 NEED MORE MEAT

With the OPA issuing a new regu- lation permitting additional allot- ments of meat for miners, fisher men, and luggers, the local move ment for more meat for heavy" la borers has acquired new force. Ovid Garceau, labor member of the To- cal ration board, has renewed ap- peals for more red stamps for work CTS of brass mills.
 The OPA will permit extra ra- tions for workers who are far from fresh food supplies, according to the new ruling.

JUDGE FAULKNER.
 APPROVES MOVE.
Conditions Here Warrant Appointment of Police
 woman

Recent proposals for appointment of policewoman to aid against Juvenile delinquency have received support from Juvenile Court Judge Fred D. Faulkner, who has express d concern over the great increases )f juvenile cases here.
 A woman between the ages of 30 and 42, who has had experience as social worker or trained nurse and who has a good sense of "bal- ance, discretion and humor" might be qualified for such a job, the judge stated. A woman member on the police force might be able to aid considerably in removing delin- quency among young girls, he stated.
 Judge FaNlkner's comments fol- lowed reports that 40 per cent rise In juvenile delinquency has occur red during the first three months of this year. Concern over the existing conditions has been widely decried, with education commissioners re- gently proposing appointment of an additional truant officer to keep children in school and out of trou- bie.
 A recent raid at a Bank street apartment which disclosed a large number of teen age boys and girls (ndulging in drinking and immoral games also gave impetus to the movement for extra supervision.

LEAPER SPEAKS
 ON CAMOUFLAGE
Chemical Co. Expert De- scribes Guides to BOm=
 badiers and Pilots

Almost anything six feet long is noticeable at distance of five miles and constitutes the grounWork of standard measurements for effective camouf1age, it was revealed by Percy J. Leaper of the Naugatuck Chemical Company in a talk on Industrial Camouf1age' at the noon meeting of Rotary Club yes terday at The Elton.
 MT. Leaper pointed out that the principles of camouhage are initia- tion and distortion. The speaker, who investigated camouflage tech nique in England before this coun- try's entry in the war when he was associated with the U. s. Rubber Company, emphasized that camou- flage does not hide an objective but confuses the enemy.
 The plans of how a bombardier plots his course, essential to the design of effective camouflage. was displayed with charts by MT. Leap CT. The bombardier is informed. he pointed, by map and by arresting aspects of the landscape such as rivers, oil tanks and smokestacks.
 Factory parking lots make the most revealing guides to any enemy bombardier, he said, since the cars reflect the sun. Smoke from chim- neys he described as another haz- ard, which may be remedied by di- version of the smoke or increase to form Smoke-screen subject to wind variation. Plants built in one large units, he said, are excellent bomb objectives, and should be de- centralized into small units near no guiding lines such as roads or rivers.
 It is very important to distort the shadows which are cast in aerial reconnaissance photos, which in variably disclose the approximate height of building. Three factors, he added, are involved in camou- flage painting: color, tone with shade variations and texture. Tex ture is very important, he said, for rough surfaces do not reflect easily. The speaker was introduced by Louis s. Fitch.
