 Local fur, fin and feather devotees, have it framed up. that there will be better sport this fall than for several years past. Particularly in quail, cartridges and rabbits. These are showing up uncommon1y we'll this summer, hereabouts, as seen in fields and even along the back roads and highways, some being motor car brok- en and not the least bit horse and wagon shy. A respectable member of the stove club, affirms that a par fridge preempted a resting place on his coming home load of hay.
 That newspaper rumor, to the effect that Bridgeport's garbage factory might be located on the site of the former cement block site at Hawley's crossing in upper Long Hill. close to the Monroe line does not worry peo- pie hereabouts a little bit and so far there is no beating it over the New town pike for Bridgeport and an in- junction. The garbage business is not coming there. The summer resi- Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. is within smelling distance of the site and fur thermore said site is close to the large stream tribuatory to the aforesaid company's water system. So there will be no garbage there.
 The logical and mostly used motor ing route from New Haven way and Milford and the Berkshires, is from Shelton, over White Hills, through Monroe center and now, Derby wants a slice of the state road busi- ness and so Commissioner Macdonald is to have that kind of a highway out of Derby on the east side of the Hous- atomic river to Zoar bridge. The route is sparsely settled and the ve- hicular traffic, 75 per cent below the White hills way. The above bridge is very narrow. Teams cannot pass on it and big cars, just squeeze across. Worse yet is the steep hill just over the bridge. on the west side, atortuous
  Zoar hill, unkempt and unkept for a long distance. Up the river, east side. from the bridge the road is bad.
 Dwight M Burr shot several of the largest woodchucks, he ever had any dealings with, last week. These an- imals are uncommon1y plentiful here abouts, this summer, meadows every where being burrowed by them. One would surmise that the game law was off, so many people are seen go- ing about with guns. Another, pre- datory plague is the red squirrel, so numerous this season. A number re- side in the center and they are ire quently shot in trees adjacent to dwellings, even youths joining in the shooting.
 Monroe having town and state cleo tions this fall, in October and Novem- Der respectively, the political talk fest has naturally commenced earlier than on a off year. But there is not much doing as yet. The registra tion enrolment sessions, last week and this, were as usual more "honor- ed in the breach than the observance.' Your average rural elector in the lit tie towns, doesn't care much about them, anyway. AS one of the "kick- CTS again this law says, "It may be a necessity in large towns and cities, 
 knows everybody and all about 1t, so what's the use?"
