This discriminating sign, posted

the American Army goes.

OF lovers OF classical music, weary
OF hearing their beloved three BIS

Given Novy Cross PosthumousIy

Boston, Nov. 18-(UP)-A Lynn captain, who was killed during the incasion of Guam, postthumously was awarded the Navy Cross today by Rear Admiral Felix x. Gygax of the first Naval district.
 The medal was presented to MT. and Mrs. John A. Shoemaker of 34 Averill street, Lynn, whose son, William G. was a captain in the Marine Corps. Capt. Choemaker was decorated for heroism on Bou- gainville.
 According to the citation, the youthful skillfully led his platoon in an attack against a strongly organized Japanese position despite wounds received in previous en- gagement.
 On nearing the position, the cita- tion said, Shoemaker's platoon was subjected to intense machine gun and grenade fire, resulting in sev- eral casualties.
 With complete disregard for his own safety" the report read, "he worked his way forward and lo- cated the enemy enplacements, thereby enabling his men to destroy the machine gun nest holding up their advance"
 Capt. Shoemaker was 8 Boston University graduate. He also had been awarded the Silver Star medal for daring combat patrol duty in the Solomons and the Purple Heart medal.

WINTER VEHICLE
 DEFECTS HAZARDS
Driving Habits Must Be Changed When Snow and
 Ice Appears

Connecticut motorists are urged, in statement issued by the State Highway Safety commission, to pre- pare motor vehicles now for winter driving hazards.
 Snow in northern New England already has affected driving condi- tions," states William M. Greene, commission director, land it will not be long now before Connecticut will experience customary winter storms with resulting slippery surfaces and generally changed conditions from those all drivers have been exper- fencing for months.
 Newspaper advertisements urge motor vehicle operators to winterize their vehicles to develop depend able service during the cold, blus- tery months ahead. The commission supplements this appeal with advice to operators to 'winterize their driv- ing habits, also.
 '"There can be little doubt but that automobiles generally are in the poorest condition ever to face winter hazards and stormy weather. Thousands of tires are smooth and conducive to skidding; lighting equipment on thousands of cars is imperfect if not defective and the dark months ahead make such de- fectS a hazard.
 Equally important, however, to winterizing ones motor vehicle is the need to change driving habits. The snow and ice, which we can ex- pect in the near future, makes trac- tion uncertain and impairs visibility so as to increase chances of co1- liSionS.
 Particularly on city streets, where congestion makes conflict always imminent, should drivers move cautiously and obey traffic controls. Operators halted at a trafflc signal light should give cars in motion time to clear the inter section before going through even when the light has changed. Exper- fenced drivers are expected to know that, under certain conditions, driv- CTS of cars in motion cannot stop when the light changes and must be given freeway."
 Now, according to the safety corn- mission statement, is the time for Connecticut HlOtoI vehicle operators to check tires and get retreats that will afford traction and avoid Skid- ding; to check brake systems and have essential adjustments made; to check bulbs in all lights as short CT hours of daylight demand longer and more frequent use of all lights; to have the defroSter and wind shield wiper working efnciently; to carry chains for use when road con- ditions require but, above all, to get into the winter driving frame of mind."
 'The State Highway department" !" concludes MT. Greene; "does 8 re- markable job in clearing roads and making them as safe for use as pos- sible. In the cities. under difncult conditions, the same objectives are sought The cooperation of the mo- torist, however, is essential if acci- dent-free movement of trafic is to be achieved. The old saying Slow Down as the Sun Goes Down can be adapted to Slow Down When Winter Comes for snow and ice, fog and mist, combine to change driving conditions altogether"

Lewiston Fire Toll Mounts

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 18-(UP)- A Lewiston house fire today had cost a fourth and indirectly 8 fifth life after a 40-year- woman died of burns at 8 hospital only few hours following the premature birth of her child which Succumbed almost im- mediately.
 Mrs. Richard Bouthot died last night of burns and injuries suffer ed in the blaze in which three other of her eleven children perished. The woman gave birth earlier in the day to a daughter who died an hour later.
 Two other children are hospitaliz- ed as result of Wednesdays fire.

James E. Moran in behalf of the Waterbury War Finance committee today told the Scoviu Mfg. Company that the committee appreciated the generous offer to donate an auto- mobile and other top prizes to help stimulate the Sixth War Loan Drive and referred the matter to the re- tail division of the campaign.
 In a statement released yesterday Alan c. CurtiSs of the Scovill Com- pany offered for incentive to the general public an automobile or the equivalent on 'tE" bonds together with other prizes.
 The company previously had made such an offer to its general 'em- ployes and the public which resulted in sharp criticism by the local re- tail division on the basis that it in- fringed upon their potential sales.
 Yesterday the company announc- ed that it would restrict such prizes to its employees but in addition would attempt to obtain another car for offer to the general pub lie.
 MT. Moran in his letter to the company relative to the latter offer commended the characteristic 'drive and fine spirit evidenced by this plan designed to stimulate sales by every agency in the city,"
 MT. Curtis letter in part stated:
 As you know, the Scovill Super Sixth War Bond Drive Commit tee has announced that any per- son who buys $50 face value war bond through the Scovill main plant, Waterville and Oak vile divisions, will participate in 8 drawing for an automobile and other prizes after the drive closes. Each $50 unit purchased entities the purchasers to one chance.
 There has been some criticism of this plan on the basis that it might cause persons to buy bonds at one of the Scovill plants rather than through their normal sources. It has been stated further that the Scovill plan, because of its uI1- balancing effect, might cause 8 re- duction in the total amount ot bonds sold in Waterbury.
 The Scovill O., therefore, offers the War Finance committee or such other agency as the War Finance committee may designate, an auto mobile, or if an automobile cannot be obtained, "E'' Bonds in the face value of $500, as a prize to be used in a drawing contest in which bond purchasers from any source in the city-whether bank, store. school oI factory-can participate.
 The general rule of the contest would follow the Scovin plan that the purchaser of bonds woulc receive a ticket for each $50 fact value purchased entitled them t participate in the drawing for thu prize. It is probable that othel prizes would be added from othel sources which would add their CT feet to increased bond sales. l The Waterbury Council of Oath olic Women will man Victory Hous Monday, the opening day of tn War Loan Drive, Miss Lucy Bowes

Father Chagnon's s Unit Wins Highest Citation
Waterbury Priest Now Privileged to Wear Distin-
 guished Unit Badge; Outfit Also Decorated

Captain Emil Chagnon, son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph N. Chagnon of Al Prospect street, formerly priest of the Hartford diocese, is now priv ileged to wear the Distinguished Unit Badge, mark of the highest citation that is awarded units of the American Armed Forces. Captain Chagnon has been serving as chap lain of the 12th AAF B-26 Marauder Bomber group. It has participated in several major campaigns and is ore of the most frequently decorat- ed units of American fliers overseas.
 Father Chagnon was stationed in Bridgeport prior to his enlistment in the army. He is 8 brother of Mrs. Serge Belanger of Pine street.
 The official army communication received today stated that his AAF B-26 Marauder bomber group in the Mediterranean theater has been cited by the War Department for outstanding performance of duty in armed conflict with the enemy" During aerial operations which pre- ceded and supported the Allied break-through at Massino, Maraud- CTS displayed extraordinary accuracy bombing numerous targets.
 On May 18th, in direct support of the Fifth Army drive towards Rome, the group achieved spectacular re- suits in an aerial attack on heavily defended enemy troop concentra- tions, including the famed 18th Panzer Grenadier Division. Despite numerous planes damaged and crew members wounded, the .unescorted Maurauders released almost 4,000 Augmentation bombs on the target. Irreplaceable casualties and de- struction were piled on the already hard-pressed enemy, smashing key reserves and aiding the Allied drive northwards.
 The group was cited for results which set it above and apart from other units, typical of the continu- ously superior precision bombing made possible through unstinted ef- fort and superlative performance of duty by every member of the or ganization. Through their unsur-

where 10000 square feet of assem- ply space has been acquired on a short term lease.
 According to the statement re- leased by J. Lehmkuhl, president of the concern the move has been nec- essitated by the fact that Water bury is classified in a critical area" /"
 Plans for expansion of the Middle bury plant which calls for the con- struction of another story on top of the present building there, are contingent on various factors such as the permission of the VILE and WIPE and other agencies and the approval of zoning authorities ot the town of Middlebury.
 It was declared today by the com pany that immediate construction expansion is being sought.
 Plans for removal of the Water bury production to Arkansas is said to be based on the need for a more closely knit campaign for the com- pany's retaining it's level in the high scale of competition expected after the war.
 It was declared today that the present plant here is not suitable for the demands which will be placed upon production to meet with the competition now already in force within the watch and clock making industry.
 Under a recent ruling of the WIPE the company will be permitted to purchase its watch and closk parts from other firms to be assembled at the Arkansas plant. Basis for the ruling is to permit the purchase from manufacturers in non-critical areas, any such material thus aid ing in these plants to maintain 8 sound level of production.
 The announcement of the presi- dent of the concern as released to- day to The Democrat reads in part:
 "If the sale is made this company will leave the property back from the purchaser for a period of years and will continue its present opera tions as usual"
