HeIpVets To Go Past Sane 4th

Hartford, July 3-(UP)-A plea for a sane 4th of July in deferenee to noise weary eX-Servicemen was made by the State Health Depart ment today as other state agencies warned of a probable high traffic toll
 Pointing out that more than one third of Connectieut's population has seen military service, the Health Department said. most of them have been subjected to eX- eessive noise. They've had enough. They would prefer to enjoy peace and quiet at long last"
 A sane 4th, added the depart mert, would serve triple purpose
 Respect the desire of most Serv- ice people once again to be free from any reminder of previous nerve-racking experiences occa- stoned by bombs, guns, and mor- tarS;
 Avoid many injuries and deaths by accidents;
 And observe the day as original ly intended-as a day of reflection and gratitude for the privilege o1 living in America
 AS pleasure-bent motorists began to flood highways, the State De partment of Motor Vehicles anc Highway Safety Commission point ed out that five were killed in traf- fic accidents last year on the 4tt when travel was restricted. "Ont of the worst tolls in the history ot the state" may be in the ofhng Motor Vehicles Commissioner Johr T. McCarty said, unless extreme care is exercised.
