Settlement In $15,OOO Announced
 Estate of Late Police
 Sergeant Involved
 In Action

The sl5, 900 suit of the estate of Patrick J. Hayes against May M Wagner was withdrawn from Super for Court here today. Settlement between the parties was reported.
 Attorney Marcus H Weisman, bringing the suit as the admins trator of the estate, charged that the defendant had exerted impro- per influence to induce MT Hayes to turn over 10 her property and savings he had accumulated. MT. Hayes. a retired police sergeant, died June 30, l944.
 The writ filed in the suit said that the defendant had acted as housekeeper, nurse and business ad- wiser and that she gained his ab- solute trust.
 It was alleged that on March 25, 1o42, she withdrew sl,0l002 from his account at the Waterbury Saw ings Bank after presenting an or der he had signed. On May 5, l943, the plaintiff claimed, she withdrew 5000 from another bank account in the same manner and two days later had a remaining balance of 5000 transferred to a joint account.

Both sides were prepared to present eVl- dence in support of their claims, but the announced settlement elim- mated the necessity of witnesses be- ing heard.

Homemokers Con Aid In Food Drive
By MIRIAM WEINRIB Waterbury Nutrition CounciI

Home help Is wanted There's a job for every homemaker to do in getting food to the worlds starving masses. The time to start is NOW!
 Prevent waste of bread. It is esti- mated that one slice out of every loaf of bread baked every day goes into garbage. That is enough bread to feed million people in devas- tated countries for half a year.
 To keep bread fresh and prevent mold. store loaves in moisture proof paper wrapping in the refrigerator. Of if refrigerator space is not avail able, store bread unWrapped in a well-ventilated box in cool place, and scald and sun bread box often. Dry bread can be used, but moldy bread is a total waste.
 Follow the lead of the restaurants and serve only enough bread for one slice apiece for each person at the table Let the family ask for seconds" and think up ways to make the crusty heel of the loaf a prized piece.
 Dry bread makes good toast. Be- sides plain toast, don't overlook such kinds as Fresh, cinnamon, hot milk, cheese jelly and the thin Melba toast that smart restaurants often serve in place of soft bread
 Use dry bread in substantial des- serts, such as bread and cereal pud- dings, and baked fruit scallops made of slices of fingers" of bread com bined with canned or fresh fruit and little sweetening and fat.
 Turn odds and ends Of bread into bread crumbs. Familiar uses of crumbs are coating foods for frying and topping baked dishes, and stuff fling vegetables
 Watch. when toasting and bak- ing Burned bread feeds nobody!
 In making sandwiches, don't trim off and discard crusts. For sand wiches served at home make the open-face type, using one slice of of bread instead of two.
 Watch flour supplies closely in summer, if flour must be kept in a warm kitchen. Weevils are likely to develop if four is stored in a warm room for a long time Feed hungry people not weevils with your four" is good slogan.

'Skylark' Takes Audience Away From Flat, Dull Mood

Kenyon homestead has been pre- served.
 In spite of the fact that the play bogs down occasionally, and in spite of the fact that the part of Myrtle Va lentine Sylvia Stone) as man. hunting wife of a business tycoon fails to click, "Skylark" is an as sured success if only due to the combination of Lyons, Bodge and Slade.
 Lyons, making his third appear ance in Litchfield, continued in his own happy groove and brought into the play a fresh naturalneSs that appears to be the most notable commodity in his talent closet.
 Worthy of Role
 Bodge. who has starred in sev- eraI previous Litchfeld presenta- tions, gave the part of Lydia the proper, lightheaded humor it re- quired, and once again proved her self worthy of taking lead part
 Slade, whose acting Happily notedD has improved over the weeks, stepped into the middle Of the first act with a role different from any thing he has played in Litchfield before, and brought the audience to attention with perfect portrayal of cynical humor His was the act ing that began the laughter, kept it going and took it away from others of the cast whenever he appeared on stage.
 Unfortur ately, Chester Adams as an advertising associate of Tonys had but small part. What he dld with it, however, was along the usual lines of perfection he has fol- lowed so far this season.

 Not to be compared to last weeks smash success, "Winterset," the Litchfield Summer Theater's offer ing last eve was of far different mettle: witty, laugh provoking play of domestic entanglements, written and directed to cause you to leave the theater with a smile on your lips-and acted in similar vein.
