 Proposition Before
 Voters Concerns
 Rood Work

Litchfield, Aug. 18-In connection with the proposition, now before Litchf1eld voters to concentrate all road work in the hands of a high way supervisor, the board of finance estimates that no additional tax burden is likely to be involved since its calculations show that the over all cost of road work under a high way supervisor should not exceed the total highway expenditures of the fiscal year, 1944-45. This sub- ject has aroused keen interest among the farmers and all who live on secondary roads, because of their well-remembered troubles of last winter. Residents of the borough whose roads are always opened promptly, are less impressed with the need for such a change.

Jap Delays On Surrender Seen L,dicatiue or Panic

which followed Hitler, was rejected by the Allies and collapsed. Yet Hirohito names a new cabinet-and puts at its head a Prince who once was reported to have threatened the trial and execution of American air. men who fell in Japanese hands.
 Enormous Task
 The delay of two weeks which Hirohito says it will require to give his "cease fire" order to his farthsst troops indicates the enormity of the task of eventually repatriating the s,200.0 900 Japanese troops now sta- toned outside the home islands.
 The selection of members of the imperial family to carry the Em- peror's "cease fire" order is believed to be for the purpose of giving weight to his orders.

 It is strange paradox that Hiro- hito whose armies. navy and air force which struck at Pearl Harbor with such perfect and immediate cohesion one day before war was declared canot be stopped now with In fewer than 12 days. It is strange also that a single plane carrying four men to receive peace conditions cannot fly from Japan proper to Manila with fewer than 48 hours de- Ky at the start.

Next day loosen the crust of soil formed by the water and, if the weather is dry, repeat waterings at five-day intervals.
 Strawberry plants, when prop erly grown and hardened, will stand considerable cold weather after set- ting. In regions of heavy snowfall, strawberries should have a heavy mulch of straw to keep the ground from alternate freezing and thaw- ing in early winter and in spring. A mulch not only conserves soil moisture, but also protects the plants against drying winds, and increases the crop one-quarter and more by It's use.

 No More AppIie0-
 tions for Employ
 ment Except from Veferons
V VefeF0nS

Oakville, Aug. 18.-Postmaster Charles Kelly announces that uri- til further notice the United Statea Civil Service Commission will not receive any applications for employs ment in the federal service except from those veterans who have the right to have examinations reopened for them. The commission has taken this step, according to [ statement issued today, in order to make sure that any vacancies which develop in the federal serv- ice will be filled either by return- ing veterans or by persons who are about to be or have been separated from other positions in the federal service.
 Where the supply of returning veterans and the supply of persons involved in reductions-in-force in the federal service are not sum- cient to f1l vacancies, the com- missions regional directors have been authorized to lift the ban on receipt of applications. In certain occupational areas, such action will be taken very promptly after the commissions field officials have had the opportunity of appraising the situation which confronts them as result of the cessation of hostilities.
 Tt would be a complete waste of time, energy and money for the commission to continue to receive applications for limited appoint ments from persons who are out side of the federal service, and who are non-veterans, if the needs of the service can be met by return- ing veterans and those who are now on the federal payroll" the commission pointed out.
 "Au of our resources must be available for the orderly handling of reductions-in-force, the prompt transfer of persons who are laid off to other agencies which may be looking for persons with their qualifications, and the administra- tion of the Veterans Preference Act of 1914"
