Vets Needs Dromotized ByP Progrom

The Brass City Veteran, using dramatization as a means of pre- sentation broadcast its tenth in a series of weekly programs last night.
 Picking fictitious veterans at ran- dom throughout the City the pro- gram examined the attitudes of the returned servicemen nearly a year after V-J Day.
 Cites Cases
 Three individual cases were cited. First, a veteran who now had 8 chance to go to college, but felt that it was wrong because it took a war to give him his opportunity. The second case was @ married veteran with three children who had just lost everything in a small buSi- ness due to recent shortages and high prices. As he put it, he is hav- ing to start all over again but now he has three more people to pro- vide for. The third case was vet- eran learning the toolmaking trade as an apprentice. His main diff1- culy was due to the fact that his wife and baby could not be with him as he could not find a place for them to live.
 The final scene listened in on the conversation among three veterans; one feeling the world owed him a living bcause he had been in the Army for four years, the second, not caring much about anyone else as he had a good joD and everything he needed, the third, endeavored to explain to both of his frinds why their attitudes were wrong. He stat e&, If the people who stayed home were obligated to you for fighting the war that obligation is over be- cause the war is over. We did job, a dirty, tough job, but we'll spoil the record is we use it for means of a hand out," and T think by and large most of us are doing our best to get back into the swing of things. We all have future ahead of us if We want to work for 1t.
 Heard on the broadcast were Walter Howard, station director, Frederick Rowe and William Mo- Gowan of the Veterans Advisory Center and Dewitt Copp, director for the Center.

 Plaintiff Seeks Determination
 Of Jurisdictional Rights

A question of jurisdiction of the local Superior Court to hear an an- nulment suit involving residents of New York and California was raised at a hearing before Judge Howard w. Alcorn yesterday afternoon, and counsel in the contested case was directed to draw ur brief of cita- tions.
 The legal issue was raised in the action of Lola Mae Rovinsky El- liott, 20, of Rosedale, N. Y, against Lewis Edward Elliott of Los Angeles Calif., whom she married in Green wich last Sept. 2.
 The plaintiff claimed she did not realize the meaning of the cere- mony performed since she had been drinking heavily. The defendant was in the service at the time.
 Judge Alcorn inquired why the suit was filed in New Haven Coun- ty at Waterbury, when neither of the parties lives here and the mar riage did not take place here.

Advice Given Autoists On Holiday Trip
 Record Traffic Jam /
 Predicted by
 Police Expert
By IT. WILLIAM c. DIVER

Hy LVs WILLIAM V. DW FEN
 Next week the good old fourth" will roll around once again. It will be the first Independence Day cell ebrated in peace since l941. The vol- tune of traffic on Connecticut high ways will, in all probability, hit an all-time high. WaterburianS will be flocking to their favorite shore resorts or inland lakes leaving this city practically deserted, so far as traffic is concerned.
 Superintendent William J. Roach of the Waterbury Police Depart ment, in a pre-holiday warning to local motorists who may be plan ming Q trip says:
 Before starting your trip, check your lights brakes, windshield vii per, battery, etc. Properly inflated tires help a great deal, and above all check that spare tire.
 Be sure you have locked your house securely before leaving town. Did you ever have this happen to you? When about halfway to your destination, the wife will suddenly exclaim, John, did you shut the wa ter off in the bath-tub, how about the gaS stove, did someone close the windows in case of a sudden storm and a score of other questions, all tending to make it a perfect day. Check them all to save your day from being spoiled. There will be all kinds of drivers on the high ways and we should be on the alert for safety sake. In the olden days before"BC" Before Cars, we used to go on local picnics and watch the adults and children alike setting off firecreckers, losing fingers and eyes and receiving all kinds of burns. Laws have since been passed to eliminate this situation, with prac- tically every community forbiddng the use of flrecreckerS.
 But not to be outdone, the auto noble came along to take its place as the greatest holiday joy-killer of all times. Drownings keep pace with automobile accidents during the eel ebration of the Fourth" Remem- Der, one little cramp may put big crimp in your holiday festivities. Let's make it a safe, sane Fourth" by driving in a careful manner, ex- tending courtesy to the other fel- low, and bringing your family back home safely.
 There seems to be one feature con- corning automobile accidents which happen during the Independence Day holiday, and that is very few drunken drivers are involved. The reason for that being this holiday is more of a family holiday than some of the others.
 One driver went forth on the third to buy a fifth for the Fourth In his car he set forth on the Fourth" with his fifth by his side. He finished the fifth on the Fourth" but the fifth finished him on the Fourth" Come the fifth of July, he was ready to die, cause he finished the fifth on the Fourth"
 The moral. Don't drink and then drive car, the risk is too great.
