Young Driver Found Guilty On 2 Count
Burton Street Youth Assessed TotaI of Slz7

PasQuale Arcaro, l0, Burton street, received fines totaling sl27 when arraigned in City Court this morning before Judge Charles Sum- ma on charges of reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle while his. license is under suspension.
 Arcaro was arrested by Patrol man Donald Monaghan yesterday after the accused led the officer merry chase over several principal streets in the city. The officer saw the Arcaro vehicle speeding along Cooke street and when the car fail- ed to stop when hailed by the of- ficer he gave chase. At speeds teaching 70 miles-p -per-hour and not dropping below the 50 mile per- hour mark, the pursued and pursuer raced along Cooke street, cutting a ccrner in gasoline station at Grove street A the corner of Grove and Linden streets the Arcaro ve- hicle narrowly missed two persons who stood on the sidewalk.
 From Prospect street to Hillside avenue to End av .nLe, across Grove and down ist avenue the chase con- tirued. Arcaro, according to the testimony of officer Monaghan, re- peated this course several of times and then sped down Grove street and onto Willow where he passed o red light and a stop sign, then pros ceeded up Willow, across Hillside avenue again, across Chestnut aV- enue and onto Willow street once more.
 Racing along Willow street, Ar- caro turned sharply at Plaza ave- nue then crossed over to ElmWood, to Wildwood avenue and speed to Roseland avenue and hid the car in the back of 0 super market where the accused said he worked. But this was not all: He then took another car from in back of the store and proceeded calmly upon an "errand" he stated he was ob- liged to do.
 Arcaro had had his license sus- pended in May for violation of the rules of the road and when asked by Pros. Fred Palomba why he had driven the car ct such speeds and why he had led Officer Mona- ghan over so many streets the accused replied that he wanted to get the feel of the car" He had been newly hired, he explained, by the Super Market, and was not acc cuStomed to the car as yet.
 He was fined S27 on the reckless driving charge and si00 on the other charge of operating a motor vehicle while his license was under sus- pension.

Retail Bakers Face Shortage Of MuteriuIs
 Strict Rotionins of
 Sugar to Affect
 Business

With sugar and shortening stiu drastically rationed. Connecticut bakeries during the next few months will be unable to meet the full demand for cakes, pies, dough- nuts and other bakery products, possibly excepting bread and rolls. Shortages will be especially acute until after September IS when four quarter allotments are received.
 Reports received ct the associa. tion's West Haven office from all sections of the state show that many retail bakers ran out of rationed na- terials ct the end of August and were forced to close temporarily. Those still operating cannot pro- duce enough sweet goods to supply all consumers, and in most cases they are open now only because they closed earlier In the summer for varying periods to conserve ma terials.
 Bakers in Connecticut are now al- lotted 60 per cent of the sugar they used in 104i and 70 per cent of the shortening consumed In io42, with slight extra amounts of sugar, mak- ing a total of 6e per cent, allowed to bakers serving Hartford, Faiz- field and New London Counties, because of population increases in those areas. New London County bakers have also received Q small population bonus" on shortening.
 Consumer demand for sweet baked foods is much greater today than 1t was in the base years used by OPA in determining allotments, 194l and l042, SO that bakers do not have nearly enough of the ingred. ients they need to prepare enough products for everybody.
 Unless rationed allotments of su- gar and shortening are increased substantially for the next three months, @ crisis is probable in No- vember and early December. How ever, information from Washington indicates little likelihood of any real
 improvements in supplies of thos

 Volunteers Moy Fill
 All Future QuotoS

The Navy recruiting office, Post Ofiice building, is beginning a new drive for voluntary enlistments of men from IT to 30.years old inclu- sive, Chief Charles A. Brougharh has announced. The order lifts the ban against voluntary enlistments in draft ages.
 The Navy's recruiting drive Is de- signed to speed demobiliZation of men with long war service, to re. duce the Nays calls through se- lective service and at the same time to enable the Navy to fulfill it's ex- tensive responsibilities through the transition period and beyond.
 During August, despite the ban on recruiting men between the draft agesc of i8 and 37 inclusive, the Navy enlisted more than l0,000 men In the i7-year age group, with par" ental consent. Of this number $500 joined the reguglar Navy and the balance entered the Naval Reserve
 Now that the bars are raised pers hitting the Armed Services to reach into the draft age group for volun- tary enlistments the Navy Is endeav. bring at least to triple the August figures in coming months.
 Men who have not been in uni- form as well as those recently dis- charged through the Army anc Navy demobiliSatlon plan are sought through this recruiting drive. Navy spokesmen announced that already Q number of World War II veter- ans are signing up for the regular Navy It Is anticipated that this number will greatly increase as the demobilization program progresses Navy officials point out that such further service Is solely c matter ot voluntary action on the part of those who want to follow the Navy as e peacetifne career. Many vet- eranS have embraced this opportu- nity after spending long awaited furloughs and leaves at home.
 The term of enlistment in the regular Navy is now reduced from six years to four. Physical stand ards are lowered in the light of wal experience. Men changing to the regular Navy from the Naval Reserve and men re-enlisting in the regular Navy not only retain their rightI to mastering out pay, but also arc entitled ot full credit for past active duty, Q special cash re-enliStment bonus. and up to 60 days leave at home,
