Battery Shortage In Australia.

New motorcar batteries cannot be
bought in Australia without a per-

users with high priorities, the Aus

the lack of tires, since tires could be

A three day session Of re-exam- ination of large number of appli- cants for citizenship ended yester- day afternoon in the naturalization headquarters in the county court house building, and many of those petitioners are expected to be sum- moned to take the oath of allegiance next month. Examiners from the Hartford naturalization office were in charge of the session.
 So far this year 1,267 persons have taken the citizenship oath in the local court, setting an al-time high on naturalization here. Ordinarily only three sessions are held during the entre year, with about 300 cit izens admitted at each. Names of some of the persons who will be- come citizens next month have been on the eligible list for a year or more. The extra sessions were scheduled to clear the back cases.
 The Italian nationality is expected to be most largely represented at next months sessions, as it has been in all others this year. Shortly after the outbreak of war naturalization proceedings for Italian aliens were stopped for a period, and a large number of applications of Italians piled up.

Hard Work Challenge
 ToStateSaysG Governor
Need of Recreation and Relaxation to Be Greatest in
 l944 States Chief Executive at Conference Here

Stating that '"The emphasis, 1t seems to me, should be this year on community recreation for all ages and groups" Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin last night ad- dressed a large gathering of recre- ation officials from about the state at dinner party held at The Wo- mems Club. The dinner was climax to a full day of conferences and addresses by leading recrea- tional authorities making up the governors second annual recrea- tional conference.
 Outlining the necessity for con- tinuance of the splendid recrea- tional program now in force the Governor said, '"This conference, l am confident, will be the starting point for another year of accom- plishment in this important war time conference. For we will need the benefits of recreation and re- taxation during 1944. We have hard work ahead of us but hard work is just challenge to Connecticut"
 More than 600 recreational repre- sentatives from 82 state cities and towns were present at the all-day session. The principal speaker was Dr. Jay B. Nash of New York Uni- versity who substituted for Mark McCloskey of the Federal Security Agency who was unable to attend because of his plane being ground ed in New Orleans.
 Dr. Nash in his address stated that ''The ideal recreation program for every age group must be found- ed on one thing If 1t is to succeed the concept of service"
 He declared also that privileges and free things for our children and young people are not the ans- wer. Get them to work on their own problems; let them work to- gether on their own programs. They will find there the answers they seek"
 The possibilities of recreation in the home are practically forgot ten, Dr. Nash said, urging that community recreation workers look back into the days when the home was the center of recreation.
 We are forgetting the richness of our assets if we overlook the hOme," he declared.
 In conclusion he said there is no freedom, no liberty without

NEEDS OF WORLD

Spiritual Life Must Be PrO= vided for Warns MOn-
 signOr Jordan
Special To The Democrat) )

Washington, D. C., April 22-Spe- cial-How members of the Interna- tional Federation of Catholic Alum nae throughout the nation can as- SiSt in repairing the damage wrought to the spiritual life of Europe by the war, as well as succoring the physical victims of battles, was pointed out to members of the Washington Chapter of the alum nae by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward B. Jordan, vice rector of the Cath ollie University of America at their annual communion mass here.
 Tt is well to be reminded that the material restoration of what has been lost in the course of the last four or five years is but a small part of the task that lies before us. The physical destruction, which is so ap- palling, and the bodily SufferingS the victims of the war rave had to endure-and there is no minimizing the horror of these-rank as minor evils when compared to the awful damage that has been done to the soul of man.
 "The world today stands in great CT need of that divine aid to right eous living than it does of material assistance and we, by our prayers, our good works, our sacrifices, can bring that aid to it. Most of us have little or no influence with the people in power who are responsible for the conduct of the war. Only a very few of us are going off to Europe when the war is ended to participate in the work of relief.
 But this does not prevent our contributing to the spiritual capital upon winch Europe will have to draw if it is to be restored to life. Our Lord will not ask us at the end of the year why we did not join the armed forces; He may not ask us why we so often turned deaf ear to appeals for funds; but He may with justice ask Us wary we did not help to restore the spiritual vitality of mankind by 8 single unselfish act, a single loving word, or a single earnest prayer for the tortured members of his mystical body. Let us hope that He will have no oc- casion to ask any of us that QueS- tion.''

 DRIVE PLANNED
U. s. Route 1 to Be We'll Supervised After May I;
 Many Mishaps Reported

The Connecticut Chiefs of Police Association announced today that plans have been completed for an intensified police patrol beginning May 1 of U. s. Route l along the Connecticut shore, land especially between Greenwich and West Ha- ven, the most dangerous strip o1 highway in the state"
 Under the supervision of Colonel Edward J. Hickey, CommisSionel of. State Police, state and local po- lice agencies along the route vii combine forces in the patrol in an effort to curb careless driving along the highway. The increase in patro activities on Route 1 was suggested to the association during March by the Connecticut Highway Safety Commission.
 Police officials, at meeting March 26, were informed that 2; per cent of all state highway acci- dents in Connecticut occur or Route 1 and that IA per cent o1 the deaths due to motor vehicle accidents in this state last year followed mishaps along the 46-milt stretch between Greenwich anc West Haven.
 Policemen assigned to patro duty along the highway will be in- structed to arrest every driver found speeding, driving recklessly violating rules of the road or en. dangering human life in any way the Chiefs of Police Association asserted today.
 Commissioner Hickey explained also that police court officials vii be asked to impose maximum pen alties in cases of drivers convicted of motor vehicle violations on tn, highway.

ONIONS INTEREST | HOME GARDENERS
Recollection of Shortage Last Winter Prompts
 Many to Plant

Storrs, Conn, April g = Onions, because of their scarcity in the market the past winter, are attract ing an unusual amount of interest on the part of home gardeners this spring, says Professor A. E. Wilkin- son, Extension Service garden spe- cialist at the University of Connec- ticut.
 Onion sets also are very scarce and high in price this spring, &C., cording to MT. Wilkinson. Many gardeners, he says, will do well to find a source of onion plants. Some commercial growers sell onion plants and others are willing to grow them for gardeners who poo their orders. If purchased from out side Connecticut they should bt bought from states farther south. Growing onions from seed is d1th- cult for the home gardener because of trouble with diseases. Commer' cial growers are equipped to copt with this problem and can furnish disease free plants. Thrips, mag gotS and smut are less likely to b' encountered if sets or plants ar' purchased.
 Ebenezer and Golden Globe ar' the varieties recommended if set can be obtained. If onion plants art bought, Sweet Spanish is the var iety recommended.
 Soil in which onions are to b' grown should be finely prepared Onions need lime and half a pail full should be worked into the soi for each 100 feet of row. Fertilizers should be applied in trenches ar inch and a half deep on both sides of the row and about four inches away. A pound of 5-10-5 for 9 feet of row will be sufficient.
 Onion rows should be twelve inches or more apart. Onion sets are placed in small holes made witt dibber or Sharpened stick and four to six inches apart. The hole. should be deep enough to cover the onion set. Sets planted for scallions or rare ripes should be planted more closely. Onion plants such as the Sweet Spanish should be spaced six inches apart. From an inch to an inch and a half of the bulb should be covered with Soil. The Sweet Spanish onions grow to large size and can be successful ly stored.
