PRICE FIVE CENTS

Phone Company Stresses Importance Of Clearing Lines During Emergency Special Siren Equipment At Police Station Installed To

Improve Fire Reporting—Public Should Refrain from Curiosity Calls, Especially At Night.

t i ^ i S e . ^ ' ; ^

Greater efficiency in handling Are emergency calls throughout the town of Branford Is expected from a new telephone set-up being inaugurated this week whereby all lire reports will be routed to a new switchboard at police headquarters that win be covered 24 hours a day.

Special equipment at the police station will permit the officer on duty to sound the sirens at Indian Neck, Short Beach or Stony Creek, and to call out the Branford equipment. The new fire emergen-cy telephone number, 811, should be called to report all fires — and the officer who answers will Imme-diately notify the proper company.

Mrs. Marguerite B. Monroe, tele-piione chief operator, joined with Fire Chief Roy C. Enqulst, in urg-ing telephone users to call 811 to get the speediest service In reporting fires. She suggested that all sub-scribers learn this number and also write It in the space provided on page 1 of the new telephone dlrec-tiry, which is being delivered this w e e k . . . .

. ĵ '.Mrs; Munroe pointed out that un-4er the new arrangement the tele-plibne'^perators may not know the location^ of 'fires, and she a.sked telephone users to refrain from ciilllng the operator when they hear tlie7j8h:eaj,^AJLJi}n.S.O,L„«re!j..pr other emergencies, It is very impor-tant that telephone lines be kept clear for emergency calls. It Is particularly Unportant that custom-ers should refrain from making "curiosity" calls at night, when there are normally only a few girls on duty at the switchboard.

nectlcut, 1835-1035" — B r a n f o r d may be found. "In 1088 permis-sion was given to William Barthol-omew to build a dam and mill on the Branford River near the pres-ent location of Thomas" Ward's mill, on condition that he would maintain a bridge which the town would build at that point. William seems to have gotten into difficulties as wo find in the rec-ords of a town meeting held Jan-uary 2, 1687, that the moll dam had "damnified" the road. E n s y n Thomas Harrison, Mr. Edward Bar-ker, William Hoadley, William Maitbye, Serjnt. Samuel Pond, Jorn Rose and John "Ffrissbe" were appointed a committee to see that Mr. Bartholomew should build a bridge over the "damnified" area; or should be compelled to break down his dam. It is to be presumed that the miller; yielded, as we find him still in business at a later date."

The Revenue Act ot 1041 provides a simplified method ot computing Income tax In the case ot Indlvl duals whose gross Income Is derived wholly from salary, wages or other compensation for .personal services, dividends, Interest, r en t , annuities, or royalties, and does not exceed $3,000. A new Form 1040A has been provided for taxpayers who are entitled to a n d elect to use such method. A table on the reverse side of this Form shows the amount of t ax on Increasing amounts of gross Income after the proper a l -lowance of $400 for each depen-dent , It any.

, The tax under the simplified method Is the same for each $25.00 block of gross Income and the t a x -payer, need only ascertain In which block his gross Income (less al lowance for dependents) falls to determine his tax, A flat reduction of 10 percent has been made In ar -riving a t the amoinit of > tax show in the table for deduction such .as chari table contributions and taxes paid, 60 t h a t the taxpayer who uses h i s method docs no t list these but gets an automatic deduction of 10 percent,

Undcl'Uhe simplified .method the s ta tus of a person on the last day of the taxable year Is the governing factor In • determining the exemp-tion level ($780 • for single persons and married petsoijs no t living with husband or wife, and $1,500 for marr ied persons living together) as well OS the credit for dependents,

A husband and wife living to-gether on the last day of the tax-able year may file separate re turns on 'Fo rm 1040A If the gross income of each is from : the prescribed sources and does hot exceed'$3,000 or they may file a single Joint re-tu rn on t h a t Form If their . com-bined income Is from t h e prescrlbad sources and does not: exceed $3,000

The use ot the simplified method Is ' optional. with the taxpayer but once an election has been made toi any year. It Is ilrrevooable for that year. If a taxpayer • t i les a > re turn under the > simplified method foi the taxable year he, may not there-after (lie a re turn under the general provisions of the law toi t h a t year. Conversely,-If he files o re turn under the general provlslom-for any taxable year, ho may not thereafter file a r e t u r n . u n d e r the simplified method for t ha t year. However, a new election Is allowed for each succeeding taxable year.

WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS ,

BY JAMES PRESTON

There Is little rejoicing here r.t the outcome of the management -labor conference. I t 's more than the fact t ha t labor h a s scored another potential victory on the closed shop Issue. The general feellnb t h a t little progress has been made to-ward the formulation of o definite war labor policy for the country.

The .so-called "agreement" reach-ed by the conference way, In fact, no agreement a t all. I t was annoimced by the White House, not the con-, feronce, and represented the pro-| gram of the labor delegates without offering any concessions to the re-{ presentatlves of Industry. I t was observers pointed out, an effort bjj the administrat ion to give the semblance of unity on basic labor Issues. i

The program announced by the President consists of the following points; For the duration of the war Industry and labor have agreed tha t there shall be no strikes or lock outs; tha t a l ld l spu tes shall be settled by peaceful means! and tha t the President shall set up a War Labor Board to handle w h a t -ever disputes come up.

Almost from the beginning of the conference. Industrial representa-tives were prepared to accept th is program proposed by the labor delegates, on condition t h a t a fourth point specifically excluding the closed shop as an Issue for arb i t ra -tion was added.

' In spite ot the fact t ha t there was no agreement on this fourth point, industrial spokesmen have announced their readiness to co-operate In the maintenance of In-dustrial peace. They feel t h a t t h e National War Labor Board has possibilities—that .Is", on two con-dit ions—that the members ot the Board, when selected, are truly representative of the various i n -terests concerned; and .that t h e Board adopt, immediately after its creation, definite and constructive policies to govern Its operations.

The la t te r point Is made time and again by, Informed observers, who

CHRISTIAN SERVICE A good many people are excited

about rendering some sort of serv-ice to the G6vernment. This Is all good and most, commendable. I call a t tent ion to another sort of service t ha t does not always seem so popu-lar and for which it is often h a r d -er to got recruits. I mean Christ-ian Service. Our. churches could not go on a t all were it not for a good many people who give them free service ot various kinds. They sing in voluntary choirs, ac t on committees, and work In various socletle.'j.

Most Sunday Schools have to de-pend upon voluntary teachers. I t i t not easy to get enough competent teachers. For some reason this sort of service is not so popular. I sup-pose for one reason many people do not like to be tied down to a definite duty like t ha t . And prob-ably many do not feel qualified. But I suspect others do not like to try to control and instruct o l o t Of restless youngsters who are no t al-ways well behaved. And yet here Is one of the most urgent duties for some one, and one of tlie most valuable, if well done.

The fact tha t many children have little discipline a t home, and still less religious Instruction, makes it all the more necessary lor religious people to try to supply the defiei-ency. If one can bullld his life in to ths lives o t promising young-sters he has done something of in estimable value. I wonder why so few people see this opportunity.

Time for 'bridge, social ga ther -ings of all kinds, t ime for visiting, and wast ing oceans of time on t r i -vial things, but no time to help t ra in t h e boys > and girls of t he ' f u -ture. Does any one think I a m ex-agerating? Well, read a little fur-ther .

JOHN'S Mi:SSAaE One of the most unique charac -

ters in all history Is John the B a p -tist. "Reared as a member of the body of religious zealots known as Nazarltes, like Samson his hair had never been cut. His only clothing was a rudely woven garment of caniSl's ha i r which Was bound about his body by a piece of l ea th -er. His footwear consisted ot crude sandals. He found.his food'In the hills. I t consisted of locusts, which are stllf eaten by t h e very poor in some par ts of the East, and the honey produced by wild bees in the clefts of the rocks." His convic-tions ot r ight and wrong were very deep and clear. His wilder-ness have had been near enough to Jerusalem for h im to know ot the oppressions of the Romans, the degradation of the priesthood, and the superficiality of the religion of the majority of the Hebrew people.

Therefore his messoge was not one to be given in gentle tones ot in soothing words. His was a s tern and insistent call to repent-ance and reform. Ju s t such a mes-sage as, it may be, we are needing again in this time of storm and stress.

"The desert prophet firmly be-lieved tha t the coming of the Mes-siah would be an occasion for both joy and terror. His fan was In his hand , separat ing the wheat from t h e chaff. Let there be no sent i -mentalizing about the matter . The judgments of God are strict and exact though tha love of God is generous and undying. A moral God cannot look with coniplacency upon Immorality, a n d even a for-giving God cannot condone sin, even though he be willing to for-give the sinner." ' L e t us all take t h e lesson to hear t and "lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us" t h a t we may help to has ten the day when t h e Kingdom of God can come oh eart l i .

Every business In the country is prepared to do its bi t In defeating the Axis. I t Is recognized here t h a t Industry Is not merely paying lip service to the need for cooperation In the war effort, bu t h a s actually rolled up both sleeves as a demon-strat ion with appropriate action of its willingness to cooperate. .

The aviation industry, which in the peacetime j 'ear of 1937 made a little more than $100 million worth of airplanes, expanded to an out-put of about $1,5 billion last. In 1942, aviation will join the indus-trial ga lhts with a production of more t h a n $3 billion, .

The Army and Navy have called 'for 4,000 planes a. mon th by next November. Tha t means almost doubling the cu r ren t r a t e ot produc tloh. 0 P M experts are hopeful tha t , with the aviation and automobile industries cooperating, the desired ra te can be reached.

Another illustration is the a lumi-num Industry. In 1937, this badus-try was concentrat ing on needs fori pots and pans , railroad t rains and ; automobilies. From a production of less t han ' 300 million pounds t h a t year, Its output jumped to 600; million pounds in 1941, with a i r - ' plane producers the big customer. • This year, it Is expected tha t pro- i ductlon will top 800 million pounds.!

PRACTICii .ALTH HINTS

Control l ing Fat igue In War Workers

-By Dr. James A. Tobey-

Dr. Jamas A. Toboy

V ICTORY In the present war depends as much upon the strength and efflclency of our in-dustrial workers as upon the valor

and skill ot our armed forces. Men and worn-en behind the g u n s m u s t keep healthy and vigorous tor all-out de-fense.

W e a r i n e s s at work Is the g r e a t e n e m y of e f f e c t i v e p r o d u c t i o n ,

which is so vital todaj'. When the worker gets tired, his speed and accuracy are impaired, and his rate of production falls oft.

Fatigue may be due to many thiixgs. I t may be caused by too little rest and'sleep, too much physical exertion, too much nerv-ous strain, too much noise and vibration,. by monotonous work, and finally, by InsufBcient food.

Tiredness In workers generally occurs late In the morning and afternoon. The ' Individual who gets worn' out by noon usually revives somewhat after lunch, when, he has the benefit of food and a brief rest.

Most fatigue can be allayed by eating the right foods a t the right

time. In many ofttces and facto-ries experience has shown that between-meal feedings of work-ers will prevent lassitude, and result in Increased production.

The best,foods for these extra meals are those fairly high In carbohydrates, or starches and sugars. Sandwiches, fruits and fruit juices, plain cake, and choc-olate or malt flavored milk drbiks are all valuable.

Such be tween-mea l feedings should be both light and nutr i -tious, and should bo part ot the whole day's diet. Instead ot eat-ing a huge repast after he gets home, the worker will feel better and work better if ho takes some nourishment a t 3 or 4 p.m., and a less hearty meal later.

Sandwiches used for these snacks should bo made of en-riched white bread, whole wheat, rye, or dark raisin bread, all of which contain valuable vitamm? and iron. The thiamine, or vita-mine Bi, and the Iron in these lireads are both helpful in over-coming fatigue.

I n addition- to proper food, workers must also get sufBcient rest and recreation. They should avoid mental arid emotional up-s?fe, should do their work cheer-fully, and give • everything they hr."' in support of our boys in 1! -onl lines. -,

When wo have something to do and know how to do it, we • are no t frightened. When we have real leaders among us whom \ve respect, we follow their example or orders and are steadied by their calmness and courage.

Air raid wardens arc selected be cause ot their leadership, "training and knowledge ot w h a t to do. Somebody mus t know how to h a n -dle live incendiary bombs, high ex-plosive hazards, and w h a t to do to give and get assistance.

In England there are 1,200,000 air raid wardens, or one for every 10 people In the centers of popula-tion. One out of every five war-dens are thoroughly t ra ined and are In a sense, a l though volunteers, professional wardens. They must work 48 hours a week in addition to their regular jobs, i When such wardens are on the job. It has been found t h a t there is a great reduc-tion in property damage and in the saving of life. In Coven t ry . the air raid warden organization was h igh-ly trained and efficient, and took control from the first dropping of the first bombs. People were not frightened and only 400 were killed In the most devi-istatlng at tack yet known.

Trie air raid warden has been de-scribed as a "general practitioner," the family doctor who diagnoses .the trouble during an air raid and sends the pat ients to the , proper .speciahsts. He sends mes.sageB to the police, fire, health, medical, cii-gineerlng and other depar tments telling them ot what Is to be done, how much, how soon and in a few brief words deacribes the situation. He Is the leader, he must get all available help, till the special ser-vices arrive, or unt i l t he regular civil authorities take over.

The average citizen must fealize t h a t while the greatest danger Is from fear and panic, t he greatest misconception in t h a t the regular authorities (police, fire, health, ;-e-pair) can handle t h e situation Good as .such depar tments may bo they cannot possibly handle five or six hundred vicious fires all s tarted within five minutes, unless they have the assistance of an efficient air raid wai-den system, and a pub-lic trained and informed as to what to expect.

And tha t ' s why air raid wardens are worth having here In Connecti-cut," even if our chances of ever actually heeding them in air raids i r e only five in 100. I t is better to be safely insured and prepared for possibly trouble than to suffer and be sorry If it actually comes.
