Hartford, Conn, Sept. 2l-tUP)- Gov. Baldwin said today that the states surplus not only was Suffi' cient to meet all bonded indebted ness, but provided about S4,5000y0C for a general fund reserve in addi- ton to setting aside $4,397, ,667 for the postwar purposes fund.
 The state, he said, had about $35 ,000, 900 on hand at the end of the fiscal year, ended June 30, of which $19,00o, 900 was earmarked for special funds, leaving a gross sur- plus of $l6,000,000.
 Of this amount, $7699,00 went into the debt retirement fund, and and $4,500,0 900 into the general fund reserve, leaving the balance to set up the postwar fund.
 Furthermore, he said, the state now owned $1l 900, 900 worth of war bonds, purchased from the debt re- tirement and war-purposes funds,

WAR ACCENTUATE
 NEED OF SECURITY
Love, Affection Essential to Children; Help Toward
 Independence Urged

The importance of a child's grow ing up in an atmosphere of securi- ty was emphasized today by James M. Cunningham, M. D., Director of the Bureau of Mental Hygiene in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. This secur- ity should be primarily one of love and affection, of the child's knowing that he is wanted and that there are others upon whom he can de- pend. DosN1r Cunningham said that although childhood is normally a period of dependency, security in the affection of parents is much more important from a mental health point of view than physical security, important as that is.
 In wartime special attention must be paid to the child's feeling of se- curity, particularly if there is sep- aration from the parents. As fath- CTS leave home to go i:l the Service, it not only threatens the child but is a cause of considerable anxiety to the mother. If she allows her anxiety to be apparent to the child it will inevitably reinforce the arlx- iety that the child already has over his fathers absence.
 When mothers go to work in es- sential war industries, it may be even more threatening to the secur- ity of the child than the absence of the father. More than ever will the child have to be assured of the af- lection of the parent. However, Doc tor Cunningham pointeI out that much can be done to alleviate the anxiety of the child if 1t is necessary for the mother to work. Arrange ments can be made for anytime care where the chil will receive not only adequate physical protec- ton and care, but where he can also have understanding and sympathe- tic attention. The experience away from mother can actually be made constructive for the child in many ways. He can be helped to be more independent. He can learn to associ- ate and play with other children. He will, of course, have to give up some of his selfish, infanile ways. He may be much better prepared for adjustment to school when he is old enough for that. However, if he is to be happy and have whole some life, he must grow up in an atmosphere of security.
 Although childhood is normally period of dependency, the child must be helped toward independ- ence SO that as 8 mature individual, he is capable of accepting respon- sibility for his own welfare. Some times he must be corrected, but these corrections are much more acceptable if he feels secure in the affection of the parent for him. Too often the parent does not dis. tinguish between disapproval of specific behavior of the child and disapproval of the child, himself.

STUDENTS ENJOY
 BIBLE EPISODE
Radio Programs Heard in CIassrOOns ThrOugIiOdt
 Country

A number of schools have added another 'R" to the ''readin', 'ritine and 'rithmetic formula. It's '1nA do. Tn classroorns in a good many states children are listening to epi- sodes of the Bible being sent oyer the air-waves every week day.
 This was discovered by producers of Light of the World, radio por~ trayal of old Testament events. They've noticed that quite e few let ters have been coming from grade schools in states scattered through out the country. The messages ger~ erally state that the program has been made Q part of the schools curricula.
 They have been coming in from both parochial and public schools. with letters every now and then from colleges. A trend may be tii1- derway and it may we'll be, the pro- grams producers indicate hopeful ly, that whole groups of school class es in various cities may be on the listening list in the not distant fu- ture.
 The program, it was explained provides new and interesting way to acquaint the youngsters with the Bible, and is nonSectarian. Pro- gram material is governed by a board comprised of outstanding clergymen of leading faiths.

New York.-Every woman knows that one of the great delights of a pure wool garment is that she can hang 1t in the closet after prolonged wear and after a day or SO find sharp creases unfoldeo and wrinkles automatically smoothed out. And by the same token, she knows that one of the corporations of sym thetic fabrics is that they lack this quality of resiliency. Wrinkles stay put until ironed out.
 But old Doc Science is thinking of you, ladies, and right now is work ing with furrowed brow to find a way to improve rayon and other synthetic fabrics so that a hot, hu- mid summers day won't bake in a set of semi-permanent wrinkles that force you to stand over the ironing board.
 Among those conducting intensive research into the problem are Dr. Herman Mark, professor of organic

Carelessness in operating a gaso- line station can be costly under the rationing regulations as Howard Coughlin, proprietor of the Shippan Point Service Center of Stamford, learned today.
 Coughlin lost his right to buy, sell, or transfer gasoline for a period of one month, effective September 25, when an OPA Regional Hearing Commissioner decided the Stamford filling stations shortage of l,246 gallons of gasoline was due to fail- ure to collect ration stamps from all his customers or by gross care- lessness and waste"
 The Coughlin case was one of l9 cases against gasoline station oper- ators heard in Hartford by Com missioner William J. Day late in August. Of the Il decisions returned to date, nine were outright suspen. sions, while two were suspensions with execution suspended.
 At his hearing, Coughlin account ed for the shortage by claiming there are times when he accidental ly gives customers @ little more gas- oline than they order, particularly in five-gallon sales.
 Expressing doubt that such a large amount of gasoline could disappear in this way, the Commissioner wrote in his finding that, even if 1t were so, such situation cannot and will not be tolerated"
 Meanwhile, taking cognizance of the fact that carelessness may often place gasoline station operator in an embarrassing position, the State OPA advised all filling station owners to follow the following rules in selling gasoline:
 1. Never deliver gasoline to any motor vehicle until you have first removed the proper number of ra- ton coupons from the drivers book.
 2. Never accept any ration cou- pons that aren't properly endorsed.
 3. Always make sure that the windshield sticker on the car to which you deliver gasoline corre- spends to the type of gasoline cou- pon you are offered.
 4. Always check the registration number on every ration book to make sure 1t corresponds to the reg istration number of the car.
 Car owners were also urged to "help stamp out practices that are strictly Black Market" by notifying their Local War Price & Rationing
