don't realize that when a soldier whips out a well-worn picture of his girl back home and says, Not bad, huh,'' he is as earnest in sing ing her praises as though he had spoken in the language of poets.
 And maybe they don't know that the American soldiers light hearted, irresponsible admiration for the girls in other countries isn't the same attitude he has for that certain girl back home.

reasons of appeal the respondents stated they were denied permission to produce additional medical tes:i. mony. Their appeal is sustained to the extent of that claim. Judge Me- Evoy's memorandum stated.
 A demurrer filed by Benjamin Chatfield of Waterbury in litigation brought against him and the City of Waterbury by Anne Bergifl of Waterbury was sustained by Judge McEvoy. The suit, in which $40, ,006 damages are sought, is based on in- juries sustained by the plaintiff in a fall Feb. 13, 1o43 at Knoll street
 Chatfleld's counsel filed the de- murrer to the substituted complaint of the plaintiff. His papers pointed out the defendant had not caused the particular defects referred to by the plaintiff and had not al- lowed water to flow onto :he side- walk where the plaintiff allegedly fell. He claimed also 1t was not the property owners duty to remove the snow and ice referred to in the substituted writ.
 A motion to strike out the amended complaint in the action brought by Margaret M. Wari of Waterbury against Dennis J. Rear don of Waterbury, ct als, was de- nied by the jurist. In the amend- ment, the plaintiff, who seeks re- covery for injuries in a fall at 30 Henry street, states loose and sag ging boards existed on the veranda where the fall occurred. The de- fendants raised the question of the statute of limitations in regard to filing of the amendment.
 In another decision, Judge Me- Evoy overruled 8 plea to jurisdic- ton made by Paul White, formerly of Waterbury and now of Fort I.au- derdale, Fla, who is defendant in a $7,O00 civil action brought by Will liam Hoppe of Detroit, Mich. The defendant filed the plea claiming neither he nor the plaintiff resided in Connecticut at the time the lit- tgation was started.
 The plaintiff brings the suit ar the result of an alleged debt of $4.- $40 for labor performed for the de. fendant, stockholder of the now dissolved Barker Realty Shares in Michigan.

Judge McEvoy Rules
 On Several Actions
Reinses to Set Aside 5000 Jury Verdict Given in Fatal Automobile Accident; Other Decisions Filed

Superior Court Judge Prank P. AGcEvoy today denied a motion to set aside the 5000 jury verdict returned March 6 for Albert E. Chase of Prospect in his ciTil ac- tion against Francis and Paul Fitz- gerald of Middlebury. The decision was one of several handed down to- day by the jurist on short calendar matters.
 Mr. Chase won the verdict in a suit based on fatal injuries sus- tained last October 27, by his wife, Lillian, when she was struck by the defendants car on Sou"l Main street. The denial of the motion to set aside is expected to be made . basis for an appeal by the de- fendants to the State Supreme Court of Errors.

TIN COLLECTION DATE
 FOR NAUGY APRIL 10

The next collection of prepared tin cans for salvage will be conduct ed Tuesday, April 10th, The Nauga- tuck Salvage Committee announced today.
 4 Arrangements have been complet- "a with Suptk Harold Murtha of the street department who explains that unusual weather conditions during the past winter have prevented making this collection earlier.
 A particularly large collection is expected in the April drive since a full three months will have elapsed since the last collection rather than the customary two months.
 The War Production Board points cut that shortage of tin is as critic al as 1t has ever been, and the cur- rent successes of the Allied fighting forces should not be regarded as reason to relinquish diligence in salvaging tin.
