chens can make the difference be
tween and adequate supply and a
serious shortage of cannel vebetables
and fruits In another winter.” Gov
ernor Baldwin said.
"It is our patriotic duty and it Is
good sense to be sure of our own
food supply.”
The Governor’s statement, Issued
In support of the war garden and
home food preservation programs of
the Connecticut War Council, fol
lows:
"The people of Connecticut should
consider at this time the problem ol
their food supply for the coming
year.
"The war in Europe appears to be
rushing to Its close. We may be
tempted, on this account, to relax
our efforts: but the fact is that vic
tory over Germany wll lhave no ap
preciable effort on our food supply
here at home.
"Our armies In Europe will con
tinue to need great quantities of
food. There are millions of desti
tute civilians in famlnlne-threatened
countries who look to us for help.
Our forces in the Pacific, as they
bring their full weight to bear
against the home islands of Japan,
require constantly increasing food
supplies.
"In this country we have been
blessed with a succession of good
crop years. We must plan for the
possibility of bad weather and lower
yields. We are currently short of
meat, and we know this shortage
will continue. We must count on a
decreased supply of commercially
canned fruits and vegetables In the
year ahead.
“Farmers of Conencticut will do
what they can again to supply us
with locally grown foods. Their pro
duction, throughout the war, has
been maintained at higher levels
than In the pre-war years, in spite
of labor shortages and other handi
caps. They are planting now for an
other season of high production.
Available grain supplies have suffi
ciently improved so that it will be
possible to expand our production of
meat, especially for family use.
“Home gardens and home canning
are essential parts of our food pro
duction plans. The food produced In
backyard and community garden
plots, and the food preserved in our
home kitchens can make the dif
ference between an adequate supply
and a serious shortage o canned
vegetables and fruits in another
winter.
“Those who do not have the op
portunity to plant gardens can buy
native-grown vegetables at peak
seasons for home canning.
"It is our patriotic duty and it is
good sense to be sure of our owd
food supply.”

“The Picture Of Dorian Gray”
Women Far Out in Front on New York Cross
Section Poll on Film Version of * ,
Oscar Wilde’s Book.
Yanks Reach German Supply Zone Edge
(From HE A Telephoto)
Allied Armies driving eastward are nearing the vital supply tones feed
ing Germany’s eastern front. Third Army troops are 150 mUes from
Berlin and 180 miles fom nearest Russian lines. Soviet forces flank
Vienna, shown on map, with the capture of Bratislava.
New Yorlf, N. Y., April ft—During
the highly successful five-week run
of Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of
Dorian Gray’’, at the Capitol theater
on Broadway, New York, thousands
of moviegoers, leaving the theater,
.were questioned in a survey to
gauge audience reactions to the un
usual picture. As a result, it is now
apparent, according to Loew theater
officials, that instead of being a
movie of primary appeal to the few
self-appointed “sophisticates”, it has
general appeal for all types of movie
audiences.
The Capitol theater, is one of New
York’s largest, with some 5,000 seats.
During the run “Dorian Gray” was
seen by nearly 1,000,000 people—a
cross-«ectlon of the Broadway
throng, including persons from all
parts of the country.
The survey revealed that few of
those who said they enjoyed the
movie, “Dorian Gray” had read the
book or any other works of Oscar
Wilde. Many had never heard of
Wilde; some had a hazy idea of his
personal reputation but not of his
literary career.
A wide variety of answers was re
ceived to the question, put to those
who said they had enjoyed the
movie: “Why did you enjoy it? 15
per cent praised the artistic handling
of a difficult theme and the daring
of the producers in tackling it. 40
per cent indicated that to them
“Dorian Gray” is a crime movie and
“I like murder stories”. 25 per cent
classified it as a horror film”, ex
plaining that they like to be ‘chilled’.
They admitted that they screamed
when the Dorian Gray painting was
revealed in all its hideousness. Many
saw in the movie a sinister love
story. They commented on the
breathless moment when Dorian
CITY DEFENDANT
IN $20,000 SUIT
Court Permits Name of
Benjamin Chatfield to
Be Withdrawn
Benjamin Chatfield was dropped
as a party-defendant today in the
$20,000 civil action brought by Anne
Bergin of Waterbury to recover for
injuries sustained in a fall Febru
ary 13, 1943 at Knoll street. The
City of Waterbury will remain as
sole defendant in the suit, as the
result of withdrawal papers filed
in superior court today in regard to
the other defendant.
Judge Frank P. McEvoy last
Monday sustained a demurrer made
by Chatfield, who claimed he had
not caused the particular defects
referred to in the plaintiff’s com
plaint and had not allowed water
to flow onto the sidewalk and create
the condition referred to. He claim
ed also it was not the property
owner's duty to remove the snow
and ice. which was alleged to have
covered the walk at the time of the
accident. The sidewalk is in front
of a lot.
Attorney Walter E. Monagan rep
resented the property owner.
ALIMONY GRANTED
PENDING JUDGMENT
Michael Church Ordered to
Provide Allowances for
Wife, Child
Michael Joseph Church of Water
bury, who is bringing a divorce ac
tion against Helen Kenny Church,
also of this city, was ordered by
Superior Court Judge John A. Cor
nell today to pay $10 weekly to
ward support of their child, and $4
weekly as alimony pending trial. An
allowance of $50 to defend the ac
tion also was approved. The father
testified he had been paying $10 for
the child weekly for sometime.
Judge Cornell approved entrance
of the following divorce actions on
the uncontested list: Alfred D.
White against Mary C. White, and
Eileen Margaret Olglio against Patsy
Glgllo.

tests the virtue of his first sweet
heart. The “murder addicts’’ com
mented on the scene in which Dor
ian stabs his b:st friend and the
shadow of the swinging lamp adds a
weird touch.
A 20 per cent—mostly younger
people—believed that Oscar Wilde's
unconventional epigrams, mocking
at morals, were not as startling to
day as they were when written by
Wilde. “We take those things in
our stride these days; many colum
nists say naughtier things and mean
them just as little as Wilde did.”
Many said that after seeing the
movie they would read the novel.
Sixty-five per cent of those ques
tioned said they would not hesitate
to recommend the picture to others.
The poll indicated that women
were more enthusiastic in their
praise than men. Women indicated
a sharp difference of opinion as to
Hurd Hatfield’s portrayal of "Dorian
Gray”. The majority predicted star
dom for Hatfield and thought his
immobile expression, hardly ever
changing, intensified the cold, pas
sionless nature of his crimes. Some
said he should have given the char
acter more animation.
MOTION IN ZONING
ACTION POSTPONED
Absence of Defense Cotin*
sel Necessitates Week’s
Delay
A postponement until next Friday
was made in superior court today
on hearing of a motion in the East
End zoning case, after Attorney
John H. Cassidy, counsel for the
Sycamore Corporation of West Hart
ford, stated a defense lawyer from
Hartford was lunable to be present
today.
Attorney Willla mK. Lawlor, coun
sel for Henry Corden and other
plaintiffs in the case, objected to the
requests for a delay on his motion.
The Jurist then indicate the motion
would definitely be disposed of next
week.
The motion is for permission to
amend the complaint of the plain
tiffs, who objected to extension of
the East End business area into
Wales street. The litigation which
started nearly five years ago, ended
in a decision for the plaintiffs in
1942, but last month the State Su
preme Court found error. The plain
tiffs’ motion was filed as a first
step toward seeking a new trial.

The response to the appeal b; the
local chapter of th; Red Cross for
overseas chests for recreational pur
poses to be sent to servicemen In
combat has been so enthusiastic
among residents In this areas. It Is
expected approximately 500 chests
will be constructed, Mrs. Gordon
Hurlburt, chairman of camp and
hospital service, has announced.
The chests, which are being as
sembled from lumber donated by
several organizations as well as In
dividuals, will be filled with games
and small musical instruments to
provide recreation for men In com
bat zones. Though work has been
progressively rapidly on the con
struction of the chests, Mrs. Hurl
burt stated, at the present time,
there is an urgent need for games
of all kinds and musical instruments
to complete the boxes for shipment.
The articles need not be new, but
they must be complete.

proaches to her homeland, she must
now choose between a last stand In
N.vth China and Manchuria and a
stronger defense to the death of the
Japanese islands. She can:
1. Continue to maintain and
perhaps strengthen already power
ful forces — estimated now at 45
divisions at least — disposed along
the Siberian frontier, or
2. Withdraw them to or nearer
the home Islands.
Either would be a choice of des

Throughout her costly war with
Germany, Russia has kept an esti

Siberia to keep an eye on Japan’s
powerful Kwantung army. This
same eastern Siberian army, before
the outbreak of war in Europe, on
several occasions administered
sharp defeats to Japanese troops in
bloody border clashes.
Now that Germany Is crumbling,
this force presents a far greater
threat to Japan — from a purely
military standpoint — than ever
before. To contain this potential
threat properly, Japan would seem
militarily bound to keep Manchuria

view of Russia’s action — calls for
Invasion of South China or Japan
proper.
If Japan takes course No. 2 and
diverts her Manchurian strength in
part to the homeland, she would
make it easier for the Allies to get
at her continental positions. If she
strengthens her continental forees
on the Russian border, the home
Islands will be easier to take.
Our Boys’ Town boasts a fine
selection of Jersey knit suits
Xor the pee-wee crowd. Each
one is smart and bright as the
new season and is carefully
made to give your small son
the maximum of wear. Come
