Auto Drivers Facing Hearings On Various Complaint.
Skidding Accidents
 Increasing In State
Motor Vehicle Department Issues Warning to Drivers
 to Be Prepared for S.lien Weather Changes

With sharp increase in skidding accidents reported to the Motor Vehicles Department as a result of Monday nights snowStor1n, Com missioner John T. Mccarthy warned Connecticut drivers to be prepared for sudden changes in weather con- ditions.
 Be sure your windshield wiper and defroster are in working con- dition," the commissioner advised. Have your skid chains ready to put on. And at al ltimes, drive according to the conditions.
 Due to the war emergency, many drivers are operating with shallow tire tread or even "bald" tires. Pro- tect yourself by giving the other fellow plenty of room. Drive slowly and take the trouble to lower your window and signal when slowing or turning"
 Commissioner Mccarthy warned war workers in particular to get ready for safe winter driving and suggested that the following report by the National Safety Councils Committee on Winter Driving Haz- ards be carefully considered.
 According to the committee, newly completed research revealed that slides and glides in 36 snow-belt states last winter ran the mileage rate up 24 per cent higher than the summer rate in that area, while the mild southern winter caused an increase of five percent in those states below the Mason Dixon line. Council studies proved that made quate traction and reduced visibility are the primary hazards of winter driving.
 The serious effect of winter road conditions, and neglect or lack of safety equipment such as skid chains. windshield wipers and de- froSters, on the total accident eX- perience of last December is reflect ed in detailed studies of two states. The states are Connecticut and Maine which always have old fashioned winters - but they are only two of 35 states whose roads are made dangerous or impossible for unprepared drivers, and whose industries are vital to war pro- duction.
 The National Safety Council study points out that reports by the Connecticut Department of Mo- tor Vehicles revealed 21 per cent of all December accidents were caused by skidding, while Maine re- ported 69 per cent of the property damage and personal injury traffic accidents occurred on icy high ways.

5 Persons Killed in Con- necticut During Sep=
 tember, October

Fifty three persons were killed in automobile accidents in Connecticut during September and October of th4s year as compared with forty two for the same months last year, tho monthly bulletin of the State Department of Motor Vehicle issued today by Commissioner John '. Me Carthy revealed.
 This increase, almost 30 percent, should dispel any satisfaction exist ing as to the traffic accident sit-ia- tioll in Connecticut, the report de- clares.
 For the first ten months of 1943, 186 fatalities have been recorded as compared with 231 for the same period of 1942, decrease of only 19. 5 percent as compared with a na- tional decrease of c6 percent.
 Property damage for the first nine months of tbs yead is estimated at least a million and half dollars.
 During the ten month period, motor vehicle registrations in Con- necticut "A percent from last year 10 518,068. However, the issuing of operators licenses dropped only AT percent to 596,556.
 In October of this year, 7,290 operating licenses were issued as compared with 6,974 for October of last year. The report bases this on the increased number of workers who now use automobiles.
 Gasoline tax revenue for the first nine months of this year drop ped POP percent, although Septem- ber gasoline consumption advanced rather sharply, moving from 18,163, 285 gallons in August to 20,303, ,261 gallons.
 General receipts for the depart ment, exclusive of the gasoline tax, dropped 7.8 percent for the ten month period.

Follow Up Plan


 By means of selective service examinations in which positive tests are revealed in certain selec- tees, a follow-up program for the control of venereal diseases has proven most successful, Dr. Godfrey points out. This program is con- ducted by means of notifying the health departments in towns to which the inductees have moved.
 A total of 2,472 home visits were made by the personnel of the de- partment during the past year or so, the report states. Of these 695 were made in the handling of com- municable diseases.
 A 1942 survey reveals that Wa terbury contained 843 cases of con- municable diseases resulting in 80 attributable deaths as compared to 1941 figures of 980 cases resulting in 90 deaths.
 AS reported previously in the Democrat a recent appeal on the part of Dr. Godfrey and Dr. Andrew J. Jackson resulted in an appro- priation being tentatively set up in the amount of $25,000 by the board of finance for the purpose of es- tablishing a definite program for Waterbury to handle contagious diseases.

motions would be completed by Au-

scheduled to start Sept. 1. The indict-
ments, returned in July, charge % of

AFL Executive Council Repeats
Plea For ROllback of Food Prices
Sterilization Program Failure,
1t Is Charged

Chicago (ILNS). - u nj e S food
prices are rolled back to the levels of
September Is, 1912, 'labor will have
no other recourse but to insist on an
up-to-date revision of the Little Steel
formula by the National War Labor
Board" the American Federation of
Labor executive council declared in
opening its summer meeting here.
The council reiterated previous
charges that efforts to stabilize prices
had failed and declared that the ma
tional economic stabilization program
"has worked thus far in only one di-
rection-and that is to freeze wages" !"
The broad objective of the fedora
tion's program, it was said, should be
''to provide for the production of suf-
fcient food for all our wartime needs
and to bring the prices of food back
into equitable relationship with wages
and stabilize both at reasonable and
fair level"

tions. They should be frequently
brushed and aired out at home and
made to do for the duration.
One excellent cleaner of our ac-
quaintance has suggested asking you
to pick up your things as soon as pos
sible after they are ready. Once it
didn't matter if you waited two or
three weeks but today's cleaners sim
ply haven't any storage space to spare
and your dress, which is waiting to
be picked up, may be the cause of a
cleaners inability to accept someone
else's soiled one.
The drycleaner's chief difficulty at
present is shortage of help of all
kinds in the face of greater demand
for his services than ever. And on top
of this greater demand, the average
cleaner is devoting about 259o of his
time and effort to cleaning for the
various armed services, about $3.50 of
whose drycleaning requirements are
being met by existing civilian dry
cleaning facilities. The uniforms of
service men and women must be dry
cleaned not only for reasons of health
and morale but also because there
simply are not enough textiles, man
power or machinery to replace the
ones which would ultimately have to
be discarded if they could not be dry
cleaned.
AS for you and me, the savings eff
fected through the drycleaning of our
garments and homefurnishings which
won't withstand any other type of
without damage run to bill
lions of dollars each year. 1t is for
these reasons that it behooves us, in
accordance with Mr.. Nelson's plea, to
make our clothes last as long as pos
sible by drycleaning only when neces-
sary and also to assure that others
will be able to do SO by helping to
drycleaners' facilities.
