Checking Unnecessary

For younger children, there
should be no pretense Of prac-
-ticIng a definite length Of time.
In fact. il is best that there be
no clock visible.
Teachers usually guide the
time spent for practicing when
they tell the pupil how piece
should sound when it is learned,
or about how many times a
scale should be played before
the proper technique and timing
becomes second nature.
If the mother or any older
member Of the family or rela-
tive can act as a sort Of prac-
ice teacher The child viii find
the study easier.

Modern
Chiva|ry
BY HELEN ROWLAND

SOMETIMES am amazed to
- observe the amount of chiv-
airy that still exists in this ma
terialistic modern world. 1t is
. especially apparent in wartimes,
J and among the men al the fight
ing front.
The dictionary defines chiv-
airy as courtesy, bravery, mag
nanimity. gallantry, etc. Roget
ADDS honor and generosity as
synonyms.
So. il is pretty hard TO tell
how or why chivalry should have
lost its place in the sun, and
have been looked upon as some-
thing old-fashioned or mid
Victorian. Some even think of il
vaguely as connected with
plumed hats, long curls and
sweeping bows from the waist.

DRIVERS MUST
 SIGN LICENSES
26 Auto Drivers Get Tags From Lone State Trooper
 for Violations

Commenting on a state police mans apprehension Sunday of 26 motor vehicle drivers whose driving licenses were unsigned, the Con- necticut Safety Commission today pointed out that operator licenses must be signed by the drivers to be legal. The commission explained that a maximum fine of $25 may be assessed against any driver failing to sign his name and address to the license.
 According to the safety commis- sion, the Department of Motor Ve- hicles learned during April that many drivers had gone through l943 without signing their licenses. Dis- closure of the violations came to light when the drivers submitted applications to the department for 1914 certificates.
 The safety commission said that the state policeman. stationed at the Bethany barracks, apprehended the 26 drivers while checking motor vehicle operations as part of the current intensified police patrol of U. S, Route 1 along the Connecticut shore, from Greenwich to Stoning- ton.
 The Connecticut Chiefs of Police association is sponsoring the patrol in cooperation with state and local police agencies along the route in an effort to reduce the accident rate on the highway.

That is the income tax office.
 Queuing plays such a large part in the life of the average man and woman that all things are judged in relation to it. The other morn ing 1t was raining. I was in a hurry to keep an appointment. There are no places outside of rail- way stations and hotels where one can queue for a taxi. Even there the chances of getting one are slight. So I took my place, which was tenth at a bus stop. When one came along five people got aboard. Then the rouged, peroxided con- ductress gently pushed an old lady off the step after the bus had start

1 ed, saying, "No more, thank you" A dampish gentleman ahead of me turned and said, Nasty day for queuing."
 The leisurely pace at which the Englishman works is largely respon- sible for the national pastime. When I saw about 200 people standing at the entrance of Madame Tussaud's Exhibition I asked a British sol- dier at the end of the line if seats were sold for it. Good Lord, No" he replied, but one must queue ip order to buy admission.
 JOKE ABOUT IT
 So taking a place behind him after about ten minutes of crawling, I had a ticket shot at me in good American fashion. It was the change making that took time. But the queue kept in formation with in the hall. I became a member of a procession which marched slow ly before the wax dummies of kings, queens, authors, statesmen, mur- derers and Charlie Chaplin and Mae West. I suspected that it was English broadmindedness and drol- lery which put these two side by side.
 I also wondered if a chance re- mark I heard was likewise intend- ed to be humorous. It was made by dowager whom first mistook for the effigy of Queen Mary on the floor above. The old lady stood staring at the bloody Gin the Amer ican sense of the word) heads of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and other victims of the French Rev. olution. Suddenly, in a deep voice, she said to her companion, they beheaded so many there must have been a queue waiting at the gull l0tine"

It does not matter where you go or what you want to do, even If you have @ reservation by booking in advance" the chanc- es are that you will have to join that line that "only stands and waits" If you would board @ bus, eat an imitation sausage in 8 pub or smart restaurant, get a railway ticket, see cinema or a play, buy food, utility clothing or furniture you must get in line. Even if de- cayed molar has kept you awake all night and you rush to the den- tist to have it out, it is necessary to take your place in queue. Or should you be religiously inclined and start to attend services, there is a probability that you will find a long row waiting at the church.

PUNCH PROGRAM
 BEING STUDIED
lO,OOO,OOO Lunches Are Served in Conn. Schools
 in Year; Need Preserves

More than 10 million lunches are prepared and served in Connecticut schools during the school year, says bulletin published today by the Connecticut War Council and the Connecticut State Department of Education urging that plans be made locally to produce and pre- serve the fruits and vegetables needed for next winter's school lunch program.
 Various methods for establishing school lunch programs are suggest ed by the bulletin. All hinge upon the needs of an individual school as established by school personnel in conference with community lead CTS. Any group or individual con- cerned with child health and edu- cation may initiate such a program
 Frequently the local War Council through its Food Supply Committee or it's Home Preservation of Foods Committee sponsors the canning of vegetables and fruits for school lunch usek Parents, teachers, and persons trained in food preservation and nutrition should be included in the nuclear committee which charts the course of such project.
 Provision for an adequate supply of locally grown food Is the back bone of the program. Several plans for school gardens are suggested, Production may be on community, individual, or commercial basis. The main thing is that there be capable supervision and ample planting. Food thus produced is either stored or canned for future use.
 Various types of coAlmunity can- ming centers may be operated for the benefit of the school. Some are operated solely for the school while others are operated for the com munity and charge toll of the pro- cessed cans for school use.
 The bulletin also suggests need ed equipment and outlines @ plan for recruiting personnel.
