STEVENS Cowles Retires As Stone Church Ti'easurer AID FOE OLD BURIAL GROUNDS Wc unclor.staMd that oinoiift ihe many men.surcs which will be introduced in the Genorul A.sscmbly this .year, as our liiw-makerK as- Kcmble in Hartford, will he u bill which would renuire the lowns of the .state to aid in the upkeep of burial grouiuls which have fallen into a state of neglect. We see considerable merit in such a bill. Too many "God's Acres", in the rural communities where de- Bcendants of the early residents buried therein have moved uwny, have become forgotten and neglected making eyesores of spots which should be protected, preserved and beautified. In some communities where there are such neglected cemeteries laid out in the years long before "perpetual care" was heard of, cemetery associations have been formed, but for lack of suflicient funds many of these are unable to do the tasks they should do. We have .such a situation in East Haven. Green Lawn cemetery is situated in the heart of our town. It comprises a comparatively small plot of ground. Burials in Green Lawn today are not freciuent, only five having taken place there in the iiast year. Owners of many lots are dead or Iiave not been heard from for years. A decade or BO ago Green Lawn had reached a serious state of decrepitude. Then a few interested persons formed an association to lake care of the place. Considerable progress has been made, but for many reasons the funds are not .sufficient for adequate care and continued im- provpiuent. A new fence around the enclosure is now a prime need. Only a very few of the graves are now covered by the new perpe- tual care fund which has been established. It is to take care pf such cases, and there arc many neglected grave-yards in the towns of Connecticut, that the bill is being in- troduced in the General Assembly. AVe hope it may receive fa- vorable consideration. E. H. PLAYERS TOPS AGAIN Our congratulations once more to the Bast Haven Players for their success hit, "This Thing Called Love", presented to capacity uudienceR-.three nights last week at the Poxoji Community Hall. Only a little more than a year old, this aggregation of talented Bast Hav- eners have again demonstr^ted (hat they are adept at the" theatrical arts. We understand that they are now making plans to go into re hearsal' for another play to be put on in the late sprijig, possibly in May. We hope that this is so because we know that all those who saw them in the two plays they have already presented, will look forward to seeing them again at an early date. Mrs. Lilliam Hurker is desA-ving of much credit for her efforts in directing the players. So too is Del Dover, whose special abilities as stage manager, contributed so much to the success of the plays. Seldom has a new group, such as this, rallied together in a short time so much'real talent as has been revealed in the Bast Haven Players. Wo hope that it will be possible to have the recent play put on at the center, perhaps on the High School stage, so that the hun- dreds who did not have the opportunity of enjoying it, at Poxon may do so here. The Bast Haven Players are doing much toward developing Bast Haven's corarannity spirit. At the Annual Meeting of Ihe Stone Church Friday night, Jan. 17 Ellsworth E. Cowles, Treasurer ol the Church, announced his retire ment after 27 years of faithful .service. Mr. Cowles, who was Trea- surer during an extensive program or building repairs and expansion, was given a watch as a gift from the Churoh and his wife, Mrs. Cowles, was presented with flowers. At the time of Mr, Cowles retire- ment, all legal Indebtedness on the church .property had been erased. David Richards, retiring Chairman of the Board ot Trustees, was elect- ed to serve as the new Treasurer. Announcement was made of the establishment of the Mr. and Mrs. John P. Barclay Endowment Fund. A special gifls fund and a largo contribution to the building ex- pansion program by Mr. and Mrs. Barclay was also annoimced. Other endowment gifts received during 1946 came from the estates of William Havens, Miss Ellen Thomp- son and John T. Chldsey. Bernard Kennerson, Chairman of the Attendance committee reported that the larscsl attendance at all diurch services in the history of the Church was recorded In 104B. Mr. Long, Superintendent of the Sunday School, also announced a growth m nil of its activities. Mr. Carl Rosenoulst, Treasurer of the Sunday, School, said that the re- ceipts hud broken all previous re cordi. Mrs. E, h. Pemberton, Trea- surer c3f Benevolences, stated that benevqiihce contrlljutions to war relief and missionary work reached a new'peak. Fbittnoal and activities rejiorts were rnade by 23 organizations in the Churoh. Future policies and plans for the Church were adopted. The Rov. William a. West, Pastor, served as Motlerator of tho Meeting and Mr. Donald Chldsey, as Clerk. Mrs. Ellsworth W. Cowles, Secre- tary, announced the disbanding ot the Parlsli^ House Helpers which was forme'd in 1B23 to raise funds to apply on the Parish House in- debtedness. Mrs. Bertha Kirkham served as Pi'esldont of this group for the last ten years. STATE AID FOR EDUCATION ' MHieh has been said and more written lately about increased costs for education and for teachers' salaries in particular. One solution in helping local communities is the plan to have state aid with the fluids raised by some tax other than that on real estate. A bill has been presented to the legislature proposing the means by which state aid can be given to local units of governinent- We presume much will be .said pro and con in reference to this bill. The proponements will probably claim that it will mean the saving of our school system. The opponents will no doubt sa.y that i t is merely a means of robbing the large cities to give funds to the small towns and that there is no need for such aid; that it is all a propaganda scheme on the part of .school employees who are already well paid. There are, however, certain basic facts concerning this problem which should be pointed out. The principal one is that most com- munities have not kept pace with clianging times in meeting the need for increased salaries and iiiereased costs of everything that goes into maintaining our schools. Such increases must be met l),y appropriating suffleient fiiiids to maintain them at a decent level of performance. More money will be needed and state aid will not change that fact. It will merely change the source of the funds. If Stat* aid i.s not resorted to the alternative is an increase in local taxes to the extent of three or four mills above the present level. The amount, of course, would differ according to the community. To explain the new bill in detail would take up too much space Red Men Talk Plans For New Local Wigwam Pequot Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, are considering a plan for expanding their wigwam facilities by acquiring new quarters, and at a special committee meeting Sunday disctised the proposal.;.,., .._:>;. y.i' One plan before the Red Men would''Include the purchase ot the building adjacent to that which the organization now occupies. A large factory loft would be converted in- to a lodge hall with space consider- able larger than that of the present Red Men's hall. The building as well as the one which is now oc- cupied by the Red Men is owned by the Raymond Development Com- pany. The regular meeting "of the Pequot Tribe was held Monday night with the new sachem, Ray Rogers, presiding. At this time the State Haymakers chiefs paid their visitation and after the ceremonies a frankfurt arid saurkraut supper was served. COMMITTEE PLACES FOR LEGISLATORS From Hartford comes word that Mrs. Charlotte Miller representative from East Haven, has again re- ceived appointment to the import- ant committee^on Cities and Bor- oughs of the General Assembly. She is also a member of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The other East Haven representative, William Jaspers has been named to the Public Utilities and Forfeited Rights committees. Annual Meeting 4nd Supper At Ghfist Church The annnal Pat'lsh supper and meeting ot Christ Episcopal church was held Tuesday night in the Church Hall.

School Board Hears Talk By State Salons A special mecllnB of the Boai-d of Education was held in the high school last Friday for tlie purpose of discussing state aid for education. A committee of teachers was present and guests were our two represen- tatives, Mrs. Charlotte Miller and Mr. William Jaspers. The legislators explained the procedures at Hartford and whot steps could be taken to help In tho financing of local education. Local needs were pointed out and the ur- gency ot the situation was explain- ed. The Board Is holding a series of meetings with the teachers tor the purpose of discussing not only a now salary schedule but also ways and means of Improving our schools. It is hoped that all of this work will be completed by the time the teachers are reappointed for next year.

Correction in the form of a wider tax is said that the different Ideologies ygmljj [has brought enemitles among lated some of his very interesting experiences at a meeting of the Rotary club. Mr. Sachlos said that he found conditions in his home-land very bad.. Tlie country has been war-torn and war-ridden, and the people there are now confronted with the almost hopeless task of rebuilding their country without ways or means and with the nation shatter- ed by disorders. He said than the people show a bitterness against Great Britain and also against families and among one-time friends. The Greeks look hopefully toward the United States, he .said. Wliole towns are facing starva- tion and the Inhabitants are im-" properly clothed. Fuel Is scarce and in some places non-existant. He told of the border warfare where bands led by outsiders have descended upon Greek communities with disastrous affect. The Ger- mans, during their occupation ot the country, denuded It of its tools and equipment tor manufacture, and now there is not the oppor- tunity in some places for even the tilling of the soil. Greece is badly In need of loans in order to rebuild and put the In- habitants to productive work. He said that the Greeks are a proud people and that they do not want charity. They want money now that can be repaid later.

He had hoped that his mother might return to America with him but that was not possible at this time. He visited Athens and saw sorry sights ot war desolation. Mr. Sachlos had many exciting adventures on his trip back to America aboard a small steamer that had been acquired by the Greeks from Australia. "The ship had no facilities tor heathig havhig been used previously only In warm regions, and the trip across tho Atlantic early this month was in weather that was the coldest and stormiest that one could find in the North Atlantic. The voyage took much longer than usual and for days at a time the vessel was un- able to make progress. When he arrived In New 'X'ork he felt that he had arrived In the Promised Land.

"GOOD FOR THE GOOSE —as v/ell as for the gander!"
,\IEN — don't get the idea that the Electric Blanlict was invented just to .solve the problem of keeping Milady's litde tootsies warm! Nothing could be farther from the facts. No siree, the Electric Blanket is for everybody and it is finding just as enthusiastic an acceptance by men as by women -^everywhere!
Look at the man in the picture above. See that smile of sleep satisfaction. He retired to a warm bed that was preheated by his Electric Blanket. N o cold sheets to cause him to fold up in an uncomfortable position. N o pile of heavy blankets to burden him. AH through the night, with an open window for fresh air, he will sleep in soothing warmth at just the right temperature — no matter what the weather does!
Here is one of the greatest contributions ever made toward winter comfort in the American home. If you know someone who has an Electric Blanket ask him all about it. There are numerous dealers handling electric appliances who now sell Electric Blankets. They can give you a complete story of this marvelous new way to better sleep.

STRICTLY LOCAL A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND THAT
B Y PAULi H. STEVENS
Cowles Retires As Stone Church Ti'easurer
AID FOE OLD BURIAL GROUNDS
Wc unclor.staMd that oinoiift ihe many men.surcs which will be introduced in the Genorul A.sscmbly this .year, as our liiw-makerK a s -Kcmble in Hartford, will he u bill which would renuire the lowns of the .state to aid in the upkeep of burial grouiuls which have fallen into a state of neglect. We see considerable merit in such a bill.
Too many "God's Acres", in the rural communities where de-Bcendants of the early residents buried therein have moved uwny, have become forgotten and neglected making eyesores of spots which should be protected, preserved and beautified. In some communities where there are such neglected cemeteries laid out in the years long before "perpetual care" was heard of, cemetery associations have been formed, but for lack of suflicient funds many of these are unable to do the tasks they should do.
We have .such a situation in East Haven. Green Lawn cemetery is situated in the heart of our town. It comprises a comparatively small plot of ground. Burials in Green Lawn today are not freciuent, only five having taken place there in the iiast year. Owners of many lots are dead or Iiave not been heard from for years. A decade or BO ago Green Lawn had reached a serious state of decrepitude. Then a few interested persons formed an association to lake care of the place. Considerable progress has been made, but for many reasons the funds are not .sufficient for adequate care and continued im-provpiuent. A new fence around the enclosure is now a prime need. Only a very few of the graves are now covered by the new perpetual care fund which has been established.
It is to take care pf such cases, and there arc many neglected grave-yards in the towns of Connecticut, that the bill is being introduced in the General Assembly. AVe hope it may receive favorable consideration.
E. H. PLAYERS TOPS AGAIN
Our congratulations once more to the Bast Haven Players for their success hit, "This Thing Called Love", presented to capacity uudienceR-.three nights last week a t the Poxoji Community Hall. Only a little more than a year old, this aggregation of talented Bast Haveners have again demonstr^ted (hat they are adept at the" theatrical arts.
We understand that they are now making plans to go into re hearsal' for another play to be put on in the late sprijig, possibly in May. We hope that this is so because we know that all those who saw them in the two plays they have already presented, will look forward to seeing them again at an early date.
Mrs. Lilliam Hurker is desA-ving of much credit for her efforts in directing the players. So too is Del Dover, whose special abilities as stage manager, contributed so much to the success of the plays. Seldom has a new group, such as this, rallied together in a short time so much'real talent as has been revealed in the Bast Haven Players.
Wo hope that it will be possible to have the recent play put on at the center, perhaps on the High School stage, so that the hundreds who did not have the opportunity of enjoying i t , at Poxon may do so here. The Bast Haven Players are doing much toward developing Bast Haven's corarannity spirit.
At the Annual Meeting of Ihe Stone Church Friday night, Jan. 17 Ellsworth E. Cowles, Treasurer ol the Church, announced his retire ment after 27 years of faithful .service. Mr. Cowles, who was Treasurer during an extensive program or building repairs and expansion, was given a watch as a gift from the Churoh and his wife, Mrs. Cowles, was presented with flowers. At the time of Mr, Cowles retirement, all legal Indebtedness on the church .property had been erased. David Richards, retiring Chairman of the Board ot Trustees, was elected to serve as the new Treasurer.
Announcement was made of the establishment of the Mr. and Mrs. John P. Barclay Endowment Fund. A special gifls fund and a largo contribution to the building expansion program by Mr. and Mrs. Barclay was also annoimced. Other endowment gifts received during 1946 came from the estates of William Havens, Miss Ellen Thompson and John T. Chldsey.
Bernard Kennerson, Chairman of the Attendance committee reported
that the larscsl attendance at all diurch services in the history of the Church was recorded In 104B. Mr. Long, Superintendent of the Sunday School, also announced a growth m nil of its activities. Mr. Carl Rosenoulst, Treasurer of the Sunday, School, said that the receipts hud broken all previous re cordi. Mrs. E, h. Pemberton, Treasurer c3f Benevolences, stated that benevqiihce contrlljutions to war relief and missionary work reached a new'peak.
Fbittnoal and activities rejiorts were rnade by 23 organizations in the Churoh. Future policies and plans for the Church were adopted. The Rov. William a . West, Pastor, served as Motlerator of tho Meeting and Mr. Donald Chldsey, as Clerk.
Mrs. Ellsworth W. Cowles, Secretary, announced the disbanding ot the Parlsli^ House Helpers which was forme'd in 1B23 to raise funds to apply on the Parish House indebtedness. Mrs. Bertha Kirkham served as Pi'esldont of this group for the last ten years.
STATE AID FOR EDUCATION '
MHieh has been said and more written lately about increased costs for education and for teachers' salaries in particular. One solution in helping local communities is the plan to have state aid with the fluids raised by some tax other than that on real estate.
A bill has been presented to the legislature proposing the means by which state aid can be given to local units of governinent- W e presume much will be .said pro and con in reference to this bill. The proponements will probably claim that it will mean the saving of our school system. The opponents will no doubt sa.y that i t is merely a means of robbing the large cities to give funds to the small towns and that there is no need for such aid; that it is all a propaganda scheme on the part of .school employees who are already well paid.
There are, however, certain basic facts concerning this problem which should be pointed out. The principal one is that most communities have not kept pace with clianging times in meeting the need for increased salaries and iiiereased costs of everything that goes into maintaining our schools. Such increases must be met l),y appropriating suffleient fiiiids to maintain them at a decent level of performance. More money will be needed and state aid will not change that fact. It will merely change the source of the funds. If Stat* aid i.s not resorted to the alternative is an increase in local taxes to the extent of three or four mills above the present level. The amount, of course, would differ according to the community.
To explain the new bill in detail would take up too much space

Finds Conditions In Home-Land Very Bad — Country Needs Loans But Not Charity, He Says
John Sachlos ot Main Street former proprietor' of the East Haven Diner, has returned home after a visit to his native country Greece,
and, because of iiossible amendments to be offered, the form may be'a trip which he began last summer, changed somewhat. However, for the purpose of local conditions, we and which Included stops at many quote a brief sta'eraeiit about the bill: "Under this plan the state cities In southern Europe and the •would assist in financing the net current expenses of. the public [Near East. La,st Thursday he re-schools of each town or school district by .supplementing the yield of a six mill levy on its 1945 grand list to the extent necessary to finance the net current or a program of one hundred forty dollars per pupil in average daily membershij)."
East Haven is spending less than one hundred forty dollars per pupil now—$119.00, to be exact, but i t spends 11 mills. Under the new plan the town would contribute a t least; .$97,966. N o * tlie amount is more than $240,000. State aid would amount to approximately $192 9.54 or our total program would cost fifty thousand dollars more annually. Our total tax situation would be helped by this plan. 'Wc furiii.sh the living quarters for' many industrial workers who are emjiloyed in nearby towns or cities. These other communities receive the taxes froin the industrial plants while we receive the taxes from the homes of the workers.

Mr. Sachlos said that he found conditions in his home-land very bad.. Tlie country has been war-torn and war-ridden, and the people there are now confronted with the almost hopeless task of rebuilding their country without ways or means and with the nation shattered by disorders. He said than the people show a bitterness against Great Britain and also against
families and among one-time friends. The Greeks look hopefully toward the United States, he .said.
Wliole towns are facing starvation and the Inhabitants are im-" properly clothed. Fuel Is scarce and in some places non-existant.
He told of the border warfare where bands led by outsiders have descended upon Greek communities with disastrous affect. The Germans, during their occupation ot the country, denuded It of its tools and equipment tor manufacture, and now there is not the opportunity in some places for even the tilling of the soil.
Greece is badly In need of loans in order to rebuild and put the Inhabitants to productive work. He said that the Greeks are a proud people and that they do not want charity. They want money now that can be repaid later.
On his return to his native land, whore he visited his mother and relatives and friends Hying on a large island oft the coast, he took with him a large shipment ot clothing which was collected among the Greeks'Dt the New Haven com-

munity. He had hoped that his mother might return to America with him but that was not possible at this time. He visited Athens and saw sorry sights ot war desolation.
Mr. Sachlos had many exciting adventures on his trip back to America aboard a small steamer that had been acquired by the Greeks from Australia. "The ship had no facilities tor heathig havhig been used previously only In warm regions, and the trip across tho Atlantic early this month was in weather that was the coldest and stormiest that one could find in the North Atlantic. The voyage took much longer than usual and for days at a time the vessel was unable to make progress.
When he arrived In New 'X'ork he felt that he had arrived In the Promised Land. Anyone who Is not appreciative ot this country Just does not understand what things are like abroad at this timft. he said.

E. H. Townies Defeat Mllford Bayviews
Last Sunday night In the high school gym the E. H, Townies eked out a 83-'10 acorb over the Mllford Bayviews In a rough contest. In which there was plenty of fouling and action. Without the sorvlccs of Crisafi, Clancy and Glynn, is out of play for the remainder of the season due to Injuries, the Townies were hard-pdcssed all the way. Coach Riahor ' master - mindercd his charges to victory, but It looked bad for the homctownors for a while, nthroughout the game, the locals couldn't make the ball behave, the way they wanted It to. Repeatedly, the sphere touched the hoop, but that's oil, failing to one side or another. Finally they hit their stride, arid Mahor sat back with a sigh of relief. VInny Caslellon was high, with 10, and Bill Thomson followed with his 14. For Mllford, Oavelik excelled .with 10.

FORESTS COLLECT AND PURIFY CITY
WATER SUPPLIES
Robert J . Meyers, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Foley ot G5 Clark Ave is returning in a few days from a trip to Florida.
By George A. Cromle, New Havon, Farm Forester Southwestern Conn.
As we tu rn on the faucets In our homo how rarely do we appreciate tho planning and caretul main tenance t h a t lias made abundan t sup plies cf water available for our use! In western Connecticut, without glacl.ors o r mountain lakes, pract i cally all acreage above coastal cities in elevation must be maintained so tha t rainfall and flowago cdn be conserved for municipal water; and this means keeping it in forest.'
Recently I made t h e circuit of several water company woodlands In my District, and the delicate balance between the available r a in fall and local community needs amazed me. At one vvaterslied serving a well known city, wltli a collection or 50 square miles, the Ven-, turl meter a t the final reservoir outlet showed an average daily d i version of l3 million gallons Into tho watermalns, and, a t thb time, only one and one third million gallons left for flowago down tho original s treambed. The storage capacity ot th is series of rostjrvolrs is 5 billion gallons. The minimum dally summer t ime flowago into it Is about 7 inlllion. gallons, and the maxi mum during heavy rainstorms 300 million gallons; al though during 24 hours of the 1938 hurr icane the flowago over the lowest dam was estimated to have been 31/? billion gallons.
The city referred to has show)^ wise foresight In its iand acquisition policy,; and all of i t s watershed area is forested. I stood observing this forest during one heavy rain, and watched the force of the ra indrops being broken as they spat ter ed thrqugli t ree tops and foliage. As it readied the ground the moisture trickled and sank slowly through underbrush, ferns, plants and leaf mulch instead of running off in general surface flow and wash, s t r e a m s leading towards the reservoirs gradually began to swell in volume, but remained almost ery.stal clear and free from .slit.
As to additional usage for our water.';hed areas the' future possibilities a re not entirely clear, Certainly, h u m a n habitation must be limited. Recreation and outdoor life may be allowable to a degree. Modified methods of silviculture and lumbering can produce from them vast quantities of wood pi-o-ducts, the great value or which country-wlde we are ra ther tardily belinning to realize.
For health we need a variety of food. Our bodies are made of many materials which must; no supplied in the food wo eat . I t must bo adequate to meet the requirement for the growtli.r opalr and maintenance of our body.
All the right kinds ot food needed in a hcaltliy diet a rc In the following guide—made up of tlio Basic 7. Be sure to include tho minimum amount of these foods in your diet each diet:
1. Leafy, green, and yellow vegetables. 1 or more servings.
2. Citrus fruit, tomatoes, rtiw cabbage, 1 or more servings.
3. Potatoes and other vogetables and fruits, 2 or more servings,
4. Milk, cheese, Ice cream, children 3-4 cups; adults, 2 or more cups.
5. Moat, poultry, fish, eggs, dried peas, beans, l or 2 servings.
0. Broad, flour, cereals, whole grain or enriched. Each day; '

"This Thing Called Love" Tlic East Haven Players, under
the very capable direction of Mrs, Ulllan Hurdcr have again proved themselves capable of putting on a stage. production that we doubt could have been done more ef' festively by professionals. "This Thing Called Love", by Edwin Burke, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French of New York, and staged by Del Dover, played to full houses Wednesday, Thursday and Fridoy nights last week In the Foxon Community Hall. It Is our hope that It may be seen again later by those unfortunate enough to have missed the first presentations, •
Tile play Itself, an amusing comedy In throe acts, was a sparkling thing, affording ample opportunity for the display of what turned out to be remarkably good acting.
The lead, Margaret Ley, was chai-mlng and very real In her portrayal of Ann Marvin. She Is a graduate of Mme. Annette's School of Dancing and the Elite School of Elocution, and has appeared In many amateur theatricals. ,Wc hope to see her In many more. Richard Relsslg, who played the part of TIce Collins, an Xmer.ican millionaire lately returned from Peru, home of the "Perunlans", Is a con-suUtlng engineer fo Sooony Vacuum Oil company, and did his part In the play lo perfection,
William Oummlngs who played the part of Harry Bertrond, a disillusioned and very unhappy husband, was a .radar technician In the Naval Air Corps. He gives promise of excellent things In theatricals.
Tlio wife, Florence Bertrand, was realistically played (hysterica and all) by T)lcanor Slcmann. She is a

claims adjuster for the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and this was her Initial debut to East Haven audiences.
Rose LaBelle, as the Spanish siren, took a rather difficult role, In fine stride. She attended classes at the New Haven Institute of Music and was o member of the Edgcwood Players.
The man in , the case, Normle DeWlt. was very ably put ocross by Vincent Scallsc. For three years of war VInny was a torpoda mon first class on a destroyer escort, and wears the purple heart. His work as tt torpedo man doubtle.^ slxjod him In good stead at the play's climax.
Kathcj'lne Bobbins cleverly played the part of Dolly Qarrett, who made her husbond happy, or thought she did , by discussing subjects she learned from the encyclopedia. Fred, her husband, mole bored than happy, was plnyed by Dan Blxby, who had already won acclaim In last year's production of the Players.
Last, but decidedly not least, was Stanley Shamp, who urbanely played the part of'Dumary, the faultless butler. Mr. Shamp Is In the legal department of the New Haven Railroad and has appeared In numerous productions.
At the concluding pea'formance a gift presentation was made, during the final curtain call, to the director, Mrs. Lillian Hurder. Mi's. Hurdcr Is a former dramatic coach and instructor at HIngham, Ma.ss, she was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Massachussclts Teachers Federation, chairman of the Spoach Arts Committee for the state and was one of those who established the Massachussetts Drama Day for Secondary schools.
The production staff, whose duties In connection with the three nights presentation, is deserving of much credit, Included the following: Mary Frawley, properties; Claire Osklns, programs; Dorothy Williams, Prompter; Evelyn Blxby, publicity; Bob Tliomaes, assistant stage manager; Phoebe Qrandshaw, head usher; Edith Madden, tickets, ond Hazel Garvin, make-up.
Thanks are olso due to Harold Nash of Nash, Inc.. for furniture used In the stage sotting; A. Smith for electrical work; L. C. Slmcoe for radio, and Eric- Curry of East Haven Radio Co. for the recorder.
East Haven has good and sufficient reason to be proud: of the Bast Haven Players, who have as an organization, just passed their first onnlversary.

Well folks the new General As-semblj; Is In session and pretty soon It win start work on the lawmaking for Connecticut changing old laws and making new~ ones. It has seemed to me sometimes that the assembly meets a little too often and that we could get along pretty well with a few less of some of the laws they hand out. But then again there are always a lot of new things cropping up In the towns that need attention of the kind that can come only from the state assembly. Here In East Haven we have been hearing about the need for sowers for a mighty long time. We have had a study made by the town engineer who has presented a complete layout and plans for a system of sewers although I don't recall that any of us have read anything about what his report said. Now as I understand It If we are going to have sewers we will have to obtain an enabling act from the legislature and If'that is so somebody will have to get busy pretty soon or else another three years will pass by before we are even in a position to get started. The stale sets up sewer districts in which sewer taxes can be laid on premises where sewers can be used. We don't believe anybody wants the people who are going to be outside the sewer area to have to pay for them and so If we don't want a howl to jlse from these folks we better get a sewer district set up here as soon as possible. And the only way as I see It is to get a bill through the as. sembly ot Hartford. Mrs. Charlotte Miller and Mr. William Jaspers are our representatives this year and I see where they got pretty good appointments on committees. Mrs. Miller Is on the Cities and Boroughs committee again and that ought lo help. I for one hope that they will make a try at getting a sower district for East Haven so we can all feel that we have gone a step further to the time when a sewM-system can be built here in the built up sections where everybody knows It has long been badly needed. .•

Keeping an aquarium In perfect order takes time, patience and good judgment. In addition to the fish, which in most cases are the main attraction there must be a good balance of water plants. These are needed to keep the fish healthy and the water clean, without tliem there Is not much beauty to an aquarium. The plants must actually grow In the aquarium to perform their proper function though not all of them are planted in the bot
tom. Floating plants add much beauty, but do not let them become so large or proline that they cut oft. the supply of air.
The crown of thorns belongs to the same family as the polnsettla although nothing could look much more different than this plant with Its coarse twisting stems armed with wicked spines about three-quarters of an Inch long. The leaves are small and sparsely produced, but It blooms practically the entire year.' The blossoms are rather small but of a brilliant scarlet that is set off by the soft gray of the stems. The crown ot thorns eventually reached a height of about four feet, which is much too large for most of our window gardens, but it may be kept within bounds easily by careful pruning. This Is best done when the plants are set outdoors In the suiruner.
Birds News I Evening grosbecks are appeaflng.
Mrs. Vernal Bates of Pawson Park, reports some arrived December 31, a day later than last year. Mrs. John Birch saw a llock ot 30 on January 14, near the library and they seemed to enjoy resting In the pine trees on the library grounds. It was suggested by .Mrs. Phelps, that perhaps they were interested In the Bird Room. Mrs. Qlibort has blue grosbecks, very unusual in this section. In her yard. These birds are almost black and not much larger than a sparrow. I have seen millions of ducks and sea gulls, but that is about all I would be very glad to hear from other members in regard to birds. Some long necked water fowl have been seen, but no one seems to know their name.

"Informative grade labeling',' was described today by the nation's principal food distributor as. the best consumer-protective measlire yet devised to reduce the guesswork in shoijping for, canned foods. .J '
"The reappareance of good.spp-plies of canned foods after an • ab-.sence of six years emphasizes the need for something more than brand names to help-consumers select items whose quality is not ap-jjarent at the point of purchase," said David T. Boflnger, vice president of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. "Informative grade labeling represents real progress in this direction.
"We have been experimenting with this type of labeling since the Department of Agriculture flrst established grade designations In 1934, We will continue to add such designations to new Items as fast as standards of quality are set by the department and adopted by the trade."
His company, Boflnger said, has never advocated coippulsory grade labeling, nor does it have a bone to pick with "descriptive" labeling, latter, he said is a good system as far as It goes, but in Its present form "it fails to Include any Information that will convey to the pur-cha.ser an idea of the quality she
devised, either by the government or by the trade.
A) feature of A & P's plan, ho ad4-ed, iirovldes for markoOng' three different brand names, each brand being of a. definite grade, each designated as sucli and priced accordingly.
The company's labels, he said, contain much inore than the grade designations. A clearly printed panel sets forth the meaning of the grade, states the spcciflcatlons which the product must moot to merit lt.s grade, adds a note on Its typo and style, and lists the other grades in which the product Is available. Further facts, commonly referred to as "descriptive" labeling, tell the can size, amount of net contents and number of servings.

Parade Of Dollars For Paralysis Fund
Polntlne out that East Haven re-1 celvJBd much more for care of local' InrcintUe paralysis patients In 1040 than was given by local people In the last canipnign Chairman Matthew Anastaslo of the campaign com^mittee hhs sent a letter U> East Haven residents, urging that they portlclp£^to this year In a "Parade Of Dollars."'
The letter Is as foltows: "Dear Friend,
"We feel that we can depend on you to help make East Haven's contribution to the infaullle Paralysip Fund outstanding this year. Tliat Is why we ar? asking you to make the March o£ Dimes, .>jq far as our town Is concerned Ui this 1M7 campaign, a Parade of Dollars.
.'.There arc rnany reasons why we, in East Mdven', should be generous this year. First of all, It Is nelgh-boi;ly'f6r' us, because our contrlbu-tloiris wUl'licIP those who live in ouc ovVn liclghbb'rhood. Another reason; is beeau^e Infantile Paralysis always with us. No one knows where it will strike next, nor with wl 'oit force.
',',Wc give ta our National Founda
tion because that Is the most economlcol way to pool our funds, but the money returns to our own community, when needed, to help those we know. ,
"For example, it Is true that considerably more money came Into East Haveti In 1040 to help .Infantile paralysis victlrhs. than we gave In the previous campaign. One of our own war'veterans Has been kept In an Iron lung for many weeks and was otherwise helped on the long road back to health. An East Ha von school boy, another of laist summer's polio victims, has been given care and treatment. In another case funds were forthcoming for a local victim of the epidemic of 30 ycare agdi
"Wheri East Haven receives more than it gives In the annual March ot Dimes, it Is high time wo turned, our campaign Into a Parade of Dollars.
"Let's go I Fbld a dollar bill (larger denomination If yoU' care
I to) Into the cncla'ied envelope and mail It now.
"Let's have a reol Parade of |Dollai-s In East Haven."

Community Tonics "None are so blind as they who
will not .see". , Well, so General Knox Is back
again In circulation, so to speak, and many folks have missed those few times ho did'nt ma^e It. I'm a wee bit sorry that I took up space, that he could have used, for he all-woys has something good to .?peak to the community of East Haven and sister towns, and many have told mo over the phono how they enjoyed his articles,.the coma-Uke state of a community needs shaking up, and some one should take the Initiative. During the Christmas season I had a number of letters and phone colls, as well as several cash gifts, from those who professed to have enjoyed the articles which I wrote, Hope you had the name experience, General Knox for you have written on much that wo needed to think of. I agree with you so thoroughly on that matter of a skating pond for ihe youngs-tors in the Southern part of the town. They should have it. However those In the Northern part of the Town, need the Polrot Pond, just as their Fathers and Grand parents needed It before them. There aro seasons of years when you can wade accross Polrot Pond, so I doubt If there Is too much danger there. Over forty years ago, there used to bo some swell girls skate there. Have you grown .so old that you have forgotten that? Can't you remember the Male Quartets that worried the evening breezes, when the ice was good, how the male quartet goes strong on a winter's night, on the Ice, and Polrot's Pond drew the blondes and brunetes for many miles around, or perhaps you were a vey good boy, and stayed In nights? Now, General Knox, trair your brilliant mind on the matter of our Schools of the Town. Would you work for six and seven hours a day trying to train and impart knowledge to a room, full 6f undilsclpUned boys and girls, who mostly run the stoots and also run their parents, for the small .salaries which our School Teachers get? Now would you? and do you think that a School principal should be obliged to teach forty or more pupils, which at the same time ho has to super-vise, a School, the
iTeachlng staff and also discipline
several hundred children, don't you think that the children suffer well as the principal? And another thing Genera! Knox, there is one room that I know of that, has only Fifteen History books, and there are Thirty seven pupils and .only fifteen of them can get the books, and hang on to them like grim death, and yet the other students have to take a written test on a history lesson without being able to get at the information In the books, and no allowance Is made for this In the marking of their test paper. Should this be like that? Our School Board, cannot furnish sufficient equipment for the Schools what Is Che matter with our representatives getting It out of the state? Now, General Knox, get after that matter, there bo many who will bless you. Let the ash cans, the lights and streets alone for awhile, and take up your sword, and go after this matter, I have heard much favorable comment on the article, written at Chrlstftias time, by Mr. Clark of Christ Church, and by Reverend West and Reverend Kirkland. There must be many people In our community and nearby Towns, who aro glad to read those Spiritual and Educational thoughts by woll-tralnod minds, which wo are not often prlvoleged to hear, and now comes to our notice a most excellant article, but all too .short, by the Pastor of Saint Mary's, of Branford, the work of Father Flanogan, the golorlous effort of one man, of vision and love for his follow men, who is trying to build up In youth, good moral stcin-ards, a high spiritual outlook on life. Pahor Flanagan's efforts in Boy Town, has been carried .on for years. It .Is a, marvelous work, a
great under taking, by man. of fine executive ability, and a most comprehensive under standing of youth, problems, there should be many organizations and Churches and Civic bodies dslng or supp'ort-Ing efforts ot this kind. We should not be dribbling about child delinquency, we should be doing something about It, and If we cannot do the work ourselves we should support those who will do It. A number of years ago a fine artlcol appeared In Collier's and later In the Reader's Digest, but how many see or read these things, I would like to suggest to the Pastor at Saint Mary's, Branford. that fur ther information about Father Flanagan's work, should appear, People are Interested, and want to be Informed. And why Is It that our local Representatives do not tell us some thing as what Is doing at Hartford, What do you do up at the Legislature? Wliat do you want to do? • and what should we do? Squeeze out some Information, once and a w'hile, after all we sent you there.

'vcrybojy wlio lus liail anytliing to do widi getting > liouic built will feci i bond of symp.ithy with the hero of Eric Hodgins' novel, "Mr. illandings Builds 1 lii Dream House." Even if you hive just ordered
a chicl<cn house from the local carpenter, or added a closet to your apartment, chances are you will find somewhere in this story tome-thing that happened to you. "Mr. Blandingt Iluilds His Dream House".is a Ilook-of-thc-Month (Z\u\i selection for January, along with " l l ic Angelic Avengers" by Pierre Andrczel.
Mr. niandings, like his creator, is a successful New Yorlt City advertising executive, He and Mrs. Blandings have a comfortable life together, that is, up until the time when they get the romantic idea of owning a country place in Connecticut, That is where their troubles begin.
The old liackctt place on Bald Mountain it historic and beautiful, and they fall in love with it on sight. They arc to entranced, In fact, that it is only after the deeds are signed and delivered that it occurs to them they ought to have an engineer look over " the place. The engineer's decision is implacable. The famous old historical monument is in danger of falling down of its own weight. They must tear it down and start over again.
Being attacked for vandalism in print, and finding himself in legal difHcutties for having torn down a place on whicli there was still a mortgage are only the beginning of Mr. Blandings' dillicultics. Hit architect was a good one but quite unable to restrain Mrs. Bland
ings' imagination, inflamed by delusions of grandeur,
,How Mr. Blandings got stuck in the sec- ; ond floor bathroom because there was no knob on the inside of the door; how rival
I unions produced sections that failed to I unite; how tlic special windows, when they
arrived were found to have been made for a house in New Jersey—this is just a sample of what made Mr. Blandings wish that he had never left Ne'w York City.
It comes as a surprise that tlie house really did get built. It cost only about three times the estimate, and there is a happy ending.
The Blandings liked their house. Indeed Mrs. Blandings wrote an article about It for The Home Lovely, in which she told how they had avoided all the usual errors which trap the'incxpcricnccd.

The old picnic basV.et done up
At a lecture held under ' the auspices of the First Church of! Christ, scientist . New Haven. Mrs. Norwood was Introduced by Henry Bowen of New Haven, First Reader of the church a t WInthrop and Derby avenue.
A lecture on Christian Science entitled Christian Science; The Religion of Love, Which Heals, by Mrs. Elisabeth F. Norwood, C. 8. B . of Brookllne, Massachusetts. Member ot tho Board of Lectureship ot The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston, Massachusetts.
The lecturer spoke substantially as follows; Christian Science Is metaphysics, above the physical realm, beyond tho range ol material vLslon. Christian Science Is divine revelation and is spiritually discerned.
In Christian Science God, who Is Love, is Incorporeal, t h a t Is, without a material body. If God, Love, were corporeal, somehow, somewhere, sometime, '.someone would- have seen God. But In Exodus (33:20) i t is recorded t h a t God says, "Thou" canst no t see my face; tor there shall no m a n see mo and live." Although Love cannot b e seen by the material senses, tho presence ot Love is mentally realized.
Man, the Spiritual Idea ot God I t has jus t been said t h a t God,
Mind, Is the only creator. Mind creates Ideas, tor In no other way could Mind find expression. His entire universe consists ot Ideas, h u manly viewed as lessor and greater ideas, all reflecting Him in various degrees. Mind's highest idea is man, ills Image and llkene.s3. This spiri tual idea, man, is as eternal a s God; heknows no blrth.n o death; he Is forevero omplete by reflection, and always a t the point ofp erfeotlon.
Christ Jesus In Science and Health we read
(p. 494), "Divine Love always has met anda Iways will meet^very h u man need. Almost two thousand years ago tho world was In g reat need ot a wayrshower, and divine Love met t h a t need by sending Christ Jesus to redeem mankind, to show mankind the way of Lite.
The Discoverer and Founder ot
Christian science Before h is crucifixion and ascen
sion, the Master said to his disciples, llAnd 1 ylil pray the Father , and he shall give you another Com-tortor, t h a t he may abide with you for ever; . . . I will not leave you comfortless; 1 will come to you" (John 14; 16,18). The teachings ot Christian Science parallel the-teacliings ot the Master, tlierelore It Is easy to realize tha t Christian Science is the other Comforter, promised by the Master. I t was ne cessary tor this other Comforter to be discovered In order t h a t m a n kind migh t know and unders tand

Healing in Christian Science Christ Jesus demonstrated su
premeiy the religion of Love, which heals, and he promised his followers t ha t they siiould do the same works, provided they believed on him, tor he said (John 14:12), "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He t h a t beileveth on me, t h e works t h a t I do shall he do also," The Master's t rea tment was t rue prayer
land heworked to glorify God. Christian Science t rea tment is prayer, and every honest Christian Scientist works to glorify God.
The Master .said, "Come unto me, all ye tha t labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28). Christian Science says, "Come to the Comforter, the healing Christ, and all your needs will bo met; 'Love never talleth'

with great care The red table cloth laundered
and neat . And a big appetite from the fresh
salty air; When the dinner rang I was ready
to eat .
And after tho dinner on the beach I would lay
So content I moved not a n d the sun was so hot,
And those pesky flies many times drive awciy
And a t last in the shade I found a cool spot.
And after awhile I rose to m y feet To go out In the fields where the
wild flowers grew, The golden rod, daisies and but ter
cups sweet; While song birds and butterflies
over me flew.
Weil those were the days I shall never forget
Ot living and playing where love held full sway.
Where families and loved ones each summertime met
And work was forgotten a t least for one day.

Willie Goes to School at 23
Everybody's josln'ng Willie Wells about going back t o scliool. Thoy remember when Willie would hide out in tl\D woodshed—scared to brine hi» rciiort card home to Pu.
But under t'iie G.I. Bill of Rights Wlilio (wOio has a wife and baby) is gottiiiB a free education a t tho Agticultural College. And Uncle Snin is giving him a fine report: "Ipeportniont, excellent; Progress, above average."
That goes for, all those undergraduate veterans. Like Willie, they appreciate an education more than
over now. They're industrious and weii-bchaved—their favorite beverage is milk, or a temperate glass of beer. For.them the "three It's" seem to mean: Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Restraint.
From where I sit, cynical folks" who thought veterans wouldn't wantto return to school—wouldn't stick to steady habits of work and moderation—have their answer in "undergrnduatcs" like Willie.

"l^e^/ THIS DRUM'S GETTING HEMYl"
I T'S ea sy enough to wa lk a long a n d pound the big, b a s s drum. Bui it 's a different matter entirely for the poor fellow who must carry
it. His back hurts. And although h e realizes there could b e no music without hinl, h e does wish he could make the drummer help carry the drum.
In a sense, we taxpayers h a v e for years b e e n • carrying the drum which enables the government 's electric power projects in the Tennessee Valley — the Tennessee Val ley Authority — to m a k e a lot of noise about the " c h e a p " electricity they produce. Naturally, the fact that w e al l p a y la rge amounts in taxes to the federal government while the TVA's poli t ical ly-managed companies p a y almost none h a a
j a lot to d o with that " c h e a p " electricity.
I Those of us who p a y our share o^ the nat ion 's taxes a r e c a n y i n g j the drum for the TVA. Our own federal taxes, which in 1945 cmiounted r to S3,217,000, and yours, ore ac tual ly supporting the government 's
electric projects, a l though the " c h e a p " electricity they produce is no t ava i lab le to us .
How long must we go on car ry ing the drum?

» six yeurs" l ia inden lias been w i t h o u t convcnient lo i ia l b a n k i n g facilit ies . N o t to have a home-town bank wliere one ciiii build up ones
' credi t , bbrrow, accumulate a savings reoerve, or pay bills by olieek t h rough n checking account is, witiiout doubt , a g rea t handicap in these days when t ime means so much.- '
Those, words were true of H a m d e u ten y e a r s ago. They are even m o r e ^ r u e of E a s t Haven today, where we have been wi thou t hometown bank ing services, not s ix years , bu t s ix teen.
H a m d e n ' s home-town bank closed its doors in the depression of the ea r ly 1030's, a depression which caused Bas t Haven ' s home-town bunk to'close its doors a t the same time.
Deposits of $5,883,000 in t h e Trust Company ' s ITamden Branch as of Dec. 31, ]fl46 testify to the use which t h e residents and business firms of Humdcn and vicinity liave made of this, the i r commnuily bank . Those wlio arc now seeking a town-bank for E a s t Haven believe soundly t h a t E a s t Haven people will suppor t a local banking ins t i tu t ion if and when it is established.
Although East Haven's school enumeration has shown but slight Increase, from 1,044 to 2,043 In the ten year period 1D35-1945, the expenditures upped from $143,200 in 1935 to $241,215 In 1045, according to statistics given by Supt. of Schools Wm. E. GllUs In his annual report, to appear In the forthcoming Annual Town Report Book.
"Enrollment increases", Supt. GlUls points out, "have not kept pace with growing costs. Par t of the increase is due to the erection and maintenance of better buildings and pa r t to the abolishing of double sessions and to tho lowering of class size. Teacher's salaries comprise from 85% to 00% of the budget and salary increases have been necessary In order to retain the staff members. Failure to sanction such a n increase would mean-failure to .secure any teachers."
•nie report of the school enrollment for the opening of the 1040-47 school year showed a decrease ot 28 In the elmentary schools and six In the high school, the Increase In the bir thrate and considerable new home construction, he points out, would seem to Indicate we should
expect a definite upward trend s tar t ing next year. The report lists da ta on the cappaclty, date of erection, valuation, etc., of the present
school buildings. Supt. Glllls explains t ha t the
average cost ot one ' elementary pupil is grater than the average tax Income from the new homes and the high school cost Is even greater .
Speaking of teachers ' salaries and state aid, he says: "Tlie steadily Increasing salaries bring the taxpayers face to face with a serious problem. Until a year ago Slate Aid for education was hardly worth noting despite the fact tha t Connecticut Is one of tho wealthiest s tates. Taxes, for the most part , must be paid by the home owner on the basts of real estate holdings. State o r federal aid will help lighten the load because of the greater source of tax possibilities on a s tate wide or national basis. At the next session of the legislature a proposal to give $10,000,000 to the schools as s tate aid will bo acted upbn. I t this seems hotter than the present plan oX having the load carried locallyi a i r taxpayers sliould take a direct Interest and par t In favor ot the proposal."
As to teachers ' salaries h e says t ha t even though tho salaries here have booh increased we are thirt een th out of forty-five towns of our size in the mat ter of salaries paid. East Haven ' has never had enough Ipbal girls choose teaching as a profcsslqn, ho says.

Front Seat Trolley Ride Embracing California Reader Wr i t e s Of Tr ips
To Pawson P a r k As Child—Enjoyed Rides To Savin Rook And Momauguin.
/< The following is a let ter written
October 12 by Arthur K. Brown at Pacific Beach, San Diego, Calif.
I received a copy of your paper dated August 22, 1940, from my brother Harry E. Brown, who has lived In Bradley Avenue, Short Beach, for many years.
I was born In Fair Haven and came out here tor- my heal th In 1009. I have lived In San Bernardino. Calif., and surrounding towns, for a number of years, before settling down here, two blocks from the roaring Pacific Ocean, and three blocks from the Mission Bay, which Is all par t of San Diego, Calif.
Mission Bay reminds me a great deal of the old Quinnlplac River and also the entrance to East Haven River. As a small boy I delivered t h e Guilford News, once a week all over the Fair Haven Heights.
Each year I would go to the Branford and Guilford Fairs, and what a wonderful t ime I would have.
I remember as a boy we used to have church picnics a t the old "Pawson Park," many tha t were afraid to go on the boat would go on the omnibus driven by Mr. Johnson who owned the livery stable In Fair Haven on Grand Avenue and East Pearl Street .
' I t took us several hours to get to the toll-gate in the pines, jus t before we got to Pawson Park! I t was a dusty old road all the way there.
The steam merry-go-round was a hew th ing then, a horse drawn
A r t h u r K. Brown
Installation of affair before the steam.
The roller skating rink, a tin type gallery, shooting gallery, fresh drink and candy stand, tho old ba th ' house on the pebble beach, the high swings and" not to forget the covered picnic tables where many delicious things met the 6^0, mostly home cooking, where we sat down to cat . The time flew to quickly and the trip back was made on the old steamboat "Sunshine" of "Margarette". In 1003 I was a conductor on tho Consola-dated Electric R. R., formerly the Fair Haven and WestvIIle and West Haven lines.
I had the run out to Branford quite a good deal, and to Savin Rock In - the summer on the 15 bench open cars, and also to Mo-
W a s A Brake tonde r A n d Conductor On Single T r u c k Oars F r o m Now H a v e n Green—^Hold Badge N u m b e r 467,
Ing than riding on the front seat of a 15 bencher on a ho t sultry night, especially when you rode over the meadows Just before reaching East Haven from Momau-guln. Indeed I am very much I n terested In the Trolley Museum Plans and ' hope tha t the trolley cars will run for many, many years to come.
I ride on them here In San Diego every day to and from my work and enjoy It, but how long they will stay I have no Idea.
My first Job on the trolleys before becoming a conductor was as a braketender oh the trailer of the single t ruck trolleys to Savin Rock from New Haven green. Wc were coupled together by two king pins and an oval shape coupling.
We also had to take care of tho trolley which would come off many times. •
A great many of the men folks would like to ride the rear platform and cha t and smoke, and this would raise up the front platform and believe mo If you wasn ' t a good sailor you would get seasick before tho day was over.
I got 15c an hour a s brake- tender and 20c an hour when I became a conductor.
I had many experiences ' and many happy times working on the trolleys, my badge number was 467, does anyone still remember me? •
I t was In the summer of 1903 while pn my vacation I camped on the East Haven River, I think It mauguln.1
There 'was nothing m o r e e m b r a c - was near Mansfield's Grove.
