He will give veterans first chance but will also keep in mind that many others need a decent place In whioh to live. Wyatt Is forty years old and says he realize* that a lot of brick-bats will be tossed bls way but he can take it. William Joyce, known during the war days as Lotti Haw Haw. a Britisher who turned traitor and vkto for several years taunted his countrymen by broadcasting depressing and unreliable information by radio, died on the gallows.

The first total was 5438,0*7 anti that Increased rapidly. In the year 1944 we bought a total of more than six million dollars worth. We bought and still hold more Imnds than we had cash in all the banks of the county when the war started The figures seem I almost Incredible when studied but ttiey are official and correct. Hold on to them a* long as you can They are positively the beet securities in the world. Is Life Worth Living? The year just dosed has seen 29 000 people killed and more than 1,000,000 injured in traffic accidents, according to an announcement from the Chicago headquarters of the National Safety Council. This Is an increase of 20 jter cent over 1944. The traffic toll went up 4o per cent in November alone. Connecticut bad 235 death* in 1945 as contrasted with 176 for 1944 New York state had 1,144 deaths laat year and 1,044 the year before. Ned Deariiorn. president of the council, is discouraged, saying that people seem to learn nothing from accident figures and reports. "They continue to believe," he says, "that a tank full of gasoline carries automatic insurance against the consequence* of foolish behavior on the highways." With tire rationing off ana new cars coining -1946 accident figure? doubtlera will soar over 1945'5. And tflie people who smash into their follow* usually are as careless about carrying, insurance to cover the damages they make as they are at managing their wheels and accelerators. Is not life worth an extra ten minutes on a trip? —— o I Modern Etiquette ■ I By LEE ♦ — • Q.
