 The four are Joy Hollenbeck, Muriel Cullen, Nancy Terrell, and Frank Janowicz, all of Cheshire. The boy sought $25,000 damages, while each of the girls asked for $lO,OOO
 Defendants in the litigation were the Elm City Filling Station, Inc, of New Haven, the Colonial Beacon Oil Company of Massachusetts, and the Connecticut Railway and Light ing Company of Waterbury. The &C., cident occurred when tire on an oil truck, owned by the New Haven Company and carrying oil for the Massachusetts concern, blew out and caused the vehicle to swerve into the path of bus heading for Ches- hire.
 The plaintiffs were among IT school children who were passengers on the bus. The bus driver, Louise Deschenes, died few hours after the accident. The trick driver, Harry Hemstock of New Haven was killed instantly.
 Terms of the latest settlements have not been disclosed. Previously Doris Garrigus of Cheshire, set- tied her claims for $17,500.

Main reasons are: estab- lishment of accident prevention as a contractual obligation ;enforce- ment of safety requirements; mo- bile first aid stations, infirmaries and hospitals; and supervision by government safety engineers.

BAD NEWS!

ALONG with all the good news of victories abroad, A comes some very bad news here at home.
 Fat salvage collections TAKING A NOSE DIVE in many sections of the country.
 That can mean just one thing! Too many of us are letting the good news co TO OUR HEADS. Too many believe that, with the collapse of Germany, we can relax.
 Don't these people know that the battle of Germany is just chapter in this global war-and that we still have long, tough road to travel in the East!
 Even the TOTAL DEFEAT OF GERMANY can't help us one bit as far the fat situation is concerned And for specific reason: IT'S THE LAPS WHO HAVE OUR FATS.
 Our fat shortage troubles began when Japan moved into the Pacific areas and cut of from BILLION POUNDS of fats and oils used import every year. The Japs are still there-and we're still cut of!
 So we must continue saving used fats to that loss To help make the munitions synthetic rubber, medicines soaps and other materials needed to finish the war. WE MUST SAVE EVEN HARDER THAN EVER. So let's get busy and send the fat collections climbing up all across America! THE NEED IS SO URGENT, our government gives you 4S and free red points for every pound saved!
 So KEEP SAVING USED FATS UNTIL v-J DAY-the day when we can celebrate final victory our last and toughest eneny-Japan.

CONSERVATION
OF MANPOWER
LAST OF A SERIES

Dedicated to the task of reducing
industrial accidents that sap the skill
and strength of Americas war pro-
duction machine, the National Com
mittee for Conservation of Manpower
in War Industries urges care in the
use of ladders and scaffolds.
NCCMWI recommendation include:
l. Use care in placing ladder; the
foot should be one-fourth of the
ladder length away from the wall
against which the ladder is leaning.
2. Do not leave tools on top of step
ladder or on any other elevated.
place from which they may fall.
Effective tool holders should be
used
3. Place ladders only against solid
and stationary backing.
4. Always face the ladder when as
cending or descending. Use both
hands going up or down ladder.
5. Use only ladders in good repair.
Never use a broken or weak ladder
or ladder with missing rungs.
6. No uprights, braces, or supporting
members of any scafford should be
removed, loosened, or weakened
while any of the scafford planking
or flooring is in place.
