The c. R. & L. has five garages, one each at Norwalk, Bridgeport, Derby, Waterbury and New Britain In addition, Unit Overhaul Shop is also located Waterbury where complete spare units such as en- zines, tran missions, generators, starters, etc., are overhauled and then shipped to the garage as need ed In this way, delays in returning crippled busses to service are held to minimum; instead of holding up a bus until unit is repaired, a spare unit is installed and the one to be re- a.red is sent to the Unit Over haul Shop where ] will be put in shape and shipped out again as a spare.
 All servicing, such as replenishing busses with fuel, oil and water; all washing and cleaning; inspections and general repair work are done at the divisional garages.
 During the year 1943, c. R. & L. operated over 14,0OO,000 miles and carried approximately 86,00O, ,00O passengers. With 390 vehicles to service and maintain, the mainten- ance force averaged 192 employees including mechanics, gassers, clean CTS, foremen, clerical workers; etc Each week on an average, 2076 buss- es were serviced, 99 were greased 356 were washed, 24 had major in- spections and 75 hat minor insp3c- tions. To accomplish all this under the difficulties of wartime condi- tiCns, and to do so in such way as to receive industry recognition is tribute to those employees who did so much to make it possible.

.25 EXTRA P. Q.
 WORKERS BUSY
Christmas Rush Started; 1; 325 Additional Helpers
 to Start Shortly

The Christmas mailing season has had it's start in Waterbury, with a considerable amount" of mail in already, it was reported today by Postmaster Charles A. Babin. Both Christmas packages and Christmas cards have made their way to mail boxes in large numbers and busi- ness at the stamp windows has been rapidly increasing.
 MT. Babin stated about 25 extra helpers have already been added to the staff, and the amount will be gradually increased until a total of about $50 extra persons are on duty, both in the sorting room and on routes. It was reported sufficient number of applications for Christ mas jobs has been received and no labor problems is anticipated.
 To aid in quick transmission of mail the postofifce has made the following suggestions to local mail senders: Mail early. Drop mail in boxes gradually as you address cards rather than wait until all cards are ready. Separate local mail from out of town mail and tie it in bundles. Use the three-cent stamp on all cards to get the most effec- tive service.
 A special appeal was made for the use of zone numbers. It was pointed out use of the numbers aids the staff considerably in getting the mail out faster
 It was disclosed by postal off cials some misunderstanding exists on air mail stamps. The rate is eight cents an ounce for air mail within the country, and six cents per half-ounce for air mail over- seas. Many cards weigh more than a half ounce, and this point should be watched, officials stated.

More Women Thon Men
BY BETTY ROURKE United Press Staff Correspondent

NOAA1OCu ACoo OUesAA OVAACoPOkuNhbJ
 Hartford, Conn, Dec. 7.-{UP)- The ladies will be a postwar prob lem too, the State Postwar Plan ming Board report to Gov. Baldwin indicated today.
 The increasing number of women of "marriageable age" from 15 to A will not be able to find husbands, and the increasing number of mar ried women who will continue work ing represent probable perman- ent increase to the state la- Dor market" the report said.
 In 1940, before the inroads of war into the marriageable male group there were 3 women between Is and A to every 20 men in Connec- ticut. The postwar ration is as yet of unknown quantity, but high military mortality and disability will probably reduce further the number of marriageable men, and the war will undoubtedly produce generation containing a relative ly high proportion of women who will remain SpinsterS.'
 Besides the problems inherent in the probability of a large number of the women now employed seeking to remain employed. which tht boards report does not specifically discuss, the overall decrease in the number of marriages in the postwar period is expected to continue the | downward trend of the states birth. rate, trend interrupted by the war.
 Charts in the boards report show that, while the states birthrate in- creased sharply to about twenty two per thousand population since the start of World War II, il now shows signs of leveling off and probably may fall to the 13 per thousand rate of 193o's. In World War I births reached a peak of 2e per thousand.
 Marriages, meanwhile, which rose to about 12.5 per thousand during the early part of the war, already have fallen off sharply to less than 10 per thousand Scompared with the all time low of about five pel thousand, as compared with the all time low of in 1885. In the first World War the marriage peak was II per thousand.
 Although immediately after the cemobDization of the Army anc Navy and increase in the birthrate and the marriage rate may be an- ticipated these increases cannot be expected to be of long duration There is no reason to expect re- versal of the longtime downward trend in fertility" the boards re- potr finds.
 Repercussions of the expected de- cline in the birthrate will be far reaching, the postwar planning board believes. ''The population curve will resume its tendency to level off" This will mean city state, federal and industrial plan ners as well as manufacturers and advertisers will have to plan with out their former assurance of con- tinued growth of towns and mark ketS.

Socialists Steer Clear of Phony Atmosphere Says
 Bridgeport Mayor

Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port, Socialist candidate for gov- ernor, issued the following election day statement today
 I believe that all thoughtful voters resent the Democratic and Republi- can campaigns, designated to con- fuse the public by emphasizing bit ter personalities, name-calling and similar sideshows. The voters are not confused. They know that this is an election of terrible importance to them and not mere popular ity contest. An election must be decided on facts and intelligently discussed issues, not on personan- ties or Hollywood endorsements.
 The Socialists Party has steerec clea1 of this phony, foggy atmo- sphere. Our campaign has beer clean,, dignified and filled with facts that are unanswered because they are unanswerable. Our appeal has been tot he voters sober Judgment not their passions.
 From all reports, and judged bJ the large and enthusiastic attend anca at our public meetings, I an convinced that Norman Thoma! and the entire Socialist ticket wll receive an astonishingly high vote We are sure of wide support iron all thinking, independent men ane women throughout the state, re- gardless of their old party ties anc labels.
