 Mrs Dewey, who outlined the program undertaken by the WING in an effort to secure workers for war industry, told of new survey all employers will classify their workers and eventually the lists may be used in transferring en- ployes from one job to another which may be more vital to war production.
 General Drewry discussed the sol dier-Work program, and described the urgent need of additional ma terialS on the war fronts.

'"The winter has been colder than last year" Mir Darley said. "Weath- CT records in Hartford show tenn peratures averaging slightly under those of 1945-44. Half the winter lies ahead. Both coal and oil sup plies are very tight. There Is no fuel to waste If we are going to get through the winter without discom- fort"
 The fuel administrator suggested this checklist of conservation measures:
 Keep household temperatures no higher than 68 degrees.
 Shut off radiators in unused rooms, sun porches and garages.
 Shut off radiators in sleeping rooms at night and keep windows closed.
 Draw shades at night for inSul- ating effect on windows.
 Keep dampers closed in fireplace flues when fireplaces are not in use.
 Wherever possible, install heating controls, insulation, weather strip ping and storm doors and windows.
 Remove radiator covers and other obstacles to free circulation of air through radiators.
 Keep pans of water under radi- ators to increase humidity of the air.
 Conserve hot water; it takes fuel.
 Sift ashes and use recovered coal to bank fires at night.
 Bank coal fires as early as possi- ble in the evening.
 Above all, avoid overheating.
 The mid-point in the heating season, based on weather records fo trhe past 10 years in Hartford Is January g.
 Calls to the Waterbury fuel emergency office increased today as the city's most severe cold wave sent the thermometer mercury to a new low. Coal supplies were described by local edlaers, however, to be at the lowest point experienced here
 The fuel office meanwhile an- nopncd a change in the telephone
