Also arrested with the boys, Mar jorie Blake. IT, of Canaan, was held by state police on charge of being in manifest danger of falling into habits of vice.
 According to police, early yester- day afternoon, the boys took Q sedan owned by Thomas B. Kallas of Cherry street, from its parking place in front of the Kallas home and proceeded to Canaan, where they met the Blake girl and began ride to Massachusetts.
 About two miles from the state line, Trooper Claude Morris radioed the state police barracks that he was giving chase to the car along route 2.
 Troopers rushed to block the road near the barracks with automobiles, but as the sedan and the police car were approaching at a mile-a-min- ute pace the troopers had not time to block a narrow space on the highway through which the sedan sped, at the same time forcing Trooper Morris car over on the barracks lawn, where 1t veered pre- cariously, then shot book on the highway and resumed the chase.
 Several hundred yards north of the barracks, and about hundred yards from the Massachusetts state line, Trooper Morris car pulled up on the left of the stolen car. At the same time, another police car car rying Troopers Lawrence Bizer and John Cunning pulled to the right of the machine. Boxed in by the two cars, Coviello, who was driving, swerved in Trooper Morris car, and came to a halt.
 Police said the youths believed that the police cars would stop chasing them when they reached Massachusetts.
 The boys were returned to Water bury by Detective Sergeant Joseph Reilly and aPtrolman Conrad Baril.
 A search of the stolen car un- covered a pair of license plates owned by Stephen DeFilio, 68S North Main street, which resulted in the additional charge of theft of markers being placed against Wildman.

The local Child Care center was chosen by Army officials as the model center of its kind in the coun- try and was made the subject of an Army movie, recently. He praised the City Plan Commission and Civ ilian Defense office and all other departments.
 Citing the productiveness of the local war industries and their great influence of the success of the war, Mayor Monagar1> warned, however, that we must avoid the terrible mis- take of complacency and must first win the war, by our all-out efforts, before we plan too much for after the war.
