470 Nurses Aides Need to Meet Army's Demand in
 Atlantic Area

A call from the Army for more nurses aides led to an appeal from the local Red Cross chapter today for more volunteers in this city A quota of 11,543 additional aides has been set for New York, New Jersey, Delaware and the six New England states, with 479 listed as the quota for Connecticut.
 It was pointed out by the North Atlantic area Red Cross head quarters that 424 additional nurses aides are needed for day time duty in Connecticut hospitals, while 55 are necessary for night time duty.
 Mrs. Howard Hart, chairman of the nurses aide service in this city, said 10 registrations have been made for a new course, and that the class will be started as soon as a sufficient number of additional registrations are received. At least 20 more women are needed, she said. The aides will help in doing work of the regular nurses who enter the armed forces, it was pointed out.

because seasonal, supply of green vegetables and such fruits as ap- pleS, grapes and pears which are being sold freely in open air mar kets and grocery stores for the first time in four years
 One of the big hardships for the French has been the disappear ance of ordinary table wine, the national beverage. Today it is inn possible to buy the cheaper wines which before the war cost as little as IS cents 8 quart-now it is diff cult to get wine under 200 francs a bottle and even at that price it is not easy to find. There is talk now of distributing a quart a week to every adult as from next month on large shipments of Algerian wine are expected. The average French man drank around quart of wine a day with his meals.
 CLOTHING SKY HIGH
 There is still a shortage of oil, butter and fats but small supplies of cheese, jam and macaroni have been distributed. When the beet fac tories in northern France start working again the sugar ration will probably be increased. It is now one pound CT month for adults and double that amount for children under six.
 So far as clothing is concerned most people in the lower income brckets cannot afford to buy any, thing and furthermore there is very little to sell. Prices are sky high and the quality is indifferent. The shelves and counters of the big de- partment stores are practically empty save for few scarfs, gloves and other articles which come un-

Representatives of the Scovill Mfg. Company and the CIO were today reported to be in Washington for purposes of conference with Na- tional Labor Relation Board off, cialS relative to the current employ ment reinstatement dispute con- cerning 66 employees of the company.
 Failure to agree on interpretative terms of the recent NIIRB ruling, directing the reinstatement of the employees, at meeting between management and labor representa- tiyeS yesterday, here, is said to have prompted the trip to Washington.
 The NLRB directive ordering the reinstatement of the men followed various appeals to the regional VILE and the site mediation board fol- lowed the walking out of the men Last May as result of differences of grievances adjustments"
 The company refused to rein state the men claiming they had violated contract terms, while union officials have charged lockout" tac- tics on the company's part.

LAUGHING GAS
 100 YEARS OLD
Dental Association to Honor Anniversary of
 Discovery Next Monday

Hartford, Conn, eDc. 6-(UP)- Laughing gas (nitrouS oxide), the dentists widely-used pain killer was first demonstrated in Hartford December II, 1844 by Dr. Horace Wells who sacrificed one of his own teeth to prove it harmless anes- theSia.
 The American Dental Association and American Society of Anesthe- tists will observe the Tooth anniver- sary of this discovery next Monday, paying tribute to the man who made such a significant contribu- tion to dental and medical science at the Horace Wells Centenary eel ebration at Hunt Memorial.
 Dr. Wells, according to historians, had for many years sought drug to deaden pain during surgical op- erations, and on the evening of Dec. 10, 1884 saw Gardner Colton, a travelling lecturer, give demonstra- tion of the peculiar effects of ni- rous oxide. One member of the audience who had inhaled the gas, shortly afterwards was injured and related to Dr. Wells he had felt no pain nor could he remember the injury.
 The young dentist obtained a quantity of the gas from Cotton, inhaled an unusually large dose and while under its influence had a tooth extracted by a friend, Dr. John M. Riggs. When Wells recov- cred consciousness he Sprang to his feet and exclaimed: "A new era in tooth pulling"
 Beside spreading word of the gas ir the dental profession, Wells per- suaded its use in general surgery. but he achieved neither personal success nor financial reward.
 Dr. Thomas Farran, Surgeon Gen. eral of the United States Public Health Service, will be the princi- pal centenary speaker.

ACTING DEPUTY
 JA|LER CHOSEN
David Lane of AnsOnia Recommended By High
 Sheriff SIavin

Appointment of David Lane of Ansonia as acting deputy jailer at the New Haven County jail loomed as strong possibility today as the New Haven County commissioners prepared to meet with Lane at a special meeting tomorrow after noon. Nomination of Lane, who has served as guard at the jail for the past five years, was present. ed by High Sheriff J. Edward Sla- win at the regular meeting of the commissioners yesterday.
 A spokesman for the commission CTS said today the commissioners have not ruled out the nomination of Milton F. Amrine for the reg ular post of deputy jailer, and that the appointment of Lane has been proposed merely on the temporary basis.
 The post must be filled, and the sheriff felt a member of the pres ent staff might be named in an acting capacity until the commits sionerS decide on permanent ap- pointee, the spokesman stated. The position was vacated by Nicholas Mona who resigned as a direct aft ermath of the recent grand jury probe on conditions at the jail.
 Lane has been asked to appear before the commissioners tomorrow and answer questions they may wish to place before him. It is believed decision on his appointment as act ing deputy jailer will be made at once. Some sources have expressed the belief Lane may be tested in the acting capacity and later given the permanent appointment If his work proved satisfactory.
 Hesitation has been shown or appointment of Amrine because oi his age, one source said. A former warden at the Kansas State peni- tentiary, he is 72 years old. The fact that he has resided in the state for only @ shortt ime also may hinder his appointment, 1t has beer reported.
 Lane, a veteran of the first World War, is @ past commander of the William II. Gordon Post fin Ansonia and a past exalted ruler of the Ans sonia Elks. Before taking the posi- ton of guard at the jail he was employed as salesman.

Food GlutS French Provinces But Cities Face Lean RatiOnS
By ROSETTE HARGROvE NEA Staff COrrespOndent


 Paris, Dec. 6-The liberation of Paris has by no means resulted ir 8 return to anything like the pre- war way of life for the average Parisian housewife. She still has to face almost as many problems as she did during the occupation and there is no likelihood that these will be solved in the near future, due to the exigencies of war.
 Talk to any woman who runs a house in Paris today and she will tell you that although life is de- cidedly easier than it was before liberation-if only from the point of view of being rid of the hateful Germans it is 8 long way from being normal. This she understands and her mood is one of resignation and acceptance of the fact that the months ahead will be hard going harder perhaps in some ways than those she lived through during four long and weary years. She realizes that the war is yet to be won and that the requirements of the AL lied armies must come first.
 Food is admittedly still the fore most preoccupation of French ci- vilians. Generally speaking, the situation has improved. Were 1t not for lack of transportation there would be no problem, as the coun- try actually is overstocked with food.
 Outside the fact that France can produce enough to feed herself, the present glut is easily explained by the disappearance of the Ger man purchasing bureaus and gen. eral requisitioning which absorbed over 90 per cent of the foodstuffs available plus the fact that there is no longer an army of occupation to feed. On the other hand, the stoppage of food parcels from the country to the towns has resulted in an accumulation of stocks of all kinds.
 MISS TABLE WINE
 For the housewife life is sim phfled if only because she is not only sure that her food tickets now will be honored but she is already drawing more rations than at any time since the occupation. There is no longer any necessity to stand for long hours in line out side food shops. For example the meat allocation is now increased from around three ounces to near .ly eight ounces per week per per- son.
 Over and above this there is a weekly distribution of four ounces of canned meat. This is about equal to the British meat ration. The bread ration is soon to be increased from 10 to 13 ounces a day and there has been great improvement in quality and color thanks to ship ments of American white flour. h. cidentally, the increase in bread ra- tioning has caused the disappear ance of false bread cards.
 Babies and young children still only get about one pint and half of milk day. This is not even full cream milk and what with lack of transport and refrigerator cars it sours very quickly. There has been no milk at all for adults for the past three years. Potato supplies are now adequate and coming in regu- larly from neighboring market gar- denerS. There is also a plentiful,

THREEPATROLMEN
 MAY BE SELECTED

Appointment of three supernum- erary policemen as members of the regular force seemed likely for this afternoon, it was reported today.
 Sources declared possible ap- pointeeS would be Stephen Kawec- Xxi, John Breen, and Henry Doran, all longtime members of the su- pernumerary staff.
 The board of police commission CTS is scheduled to meet this after noon. It is said that four vacan- cies eixst at present on the staff of regular patrolmen.
 It was not disclosed at press time whether any new firemen would be appointed at this afternoons meet ing of the fire board, but it is known that the latter department is eagerly seeking call-men for duty.

der the heading of unnecessary luxuries" such as costume jewelry, ribbons and objects of art.
 It is impossible for newly-mar- ried couples to start a home in France today. Linens, glassware, china, cutlery as well as the most ordinary furniture cost a small for tune, completely out of reach of people of small means.
 Still you hear no complaints. ParisianS are ready to endure the inevitable hardships that this win ter will bring if only for the req son that they now see the end in sight. They know they will lack coal for heating, gas for cooking, besides all the other modern amen- ities, but provided they can work and keep body and soul together they ask for nothing more.
 The recent increase of 40 francs a day for every category of worker up to and including those earning 1900 francs week has consider ably heartened everybody. This is an endeavor by the Government to meet the high cost of living and at the same time beat the Black Markt. Incidentally here are count less Parisians today who refuse to buy in the Black Market for pa- triotic reasons. Authorities have enlisted the help of the FFI to track down food and other racke- teers, soaring many people out of illicit trading, although so far they have not succeeded in completely wiping it out. While you can count on the fingers of one hand the res- taurants where you can eat for $50 there are at least 25 Black Market restaurants where a meal costs SIP, excluding wine.
