CONSERVE BOXES,
BARRELS and BAGS
Connecticut Desense Council
Sends Out Letter Authorizing
Movement-Gives Figures on
Waste-CaIIs Upon Dealers,
Producers and Consumers to
...@
Help.

A movement to save barrels, boxes,
bags and other containers used In the
marketing of farm produce has been
authorized by the Connecticut State
Council of Defense as a conservative
measure to help in the winning OF the
war. Letters have been sent to all O.
cal agencies of the State Council In
forming them of the vote and request
ing appropriate action.
The councils communication fol-
lows:
zone of the forms Of waste in con-
nection with marketing of farm prod
uce is the destruction of barrels, boxes
bags and other containers used by the
producers in marketing such crops.
Under present conditions the prices or
containers have increased until this
waste Is costing the State hundreds or
thousands of dollars. One center alone
estimates that the producers In the I'M
mediate neighborhood spent for pack
ages last year not less than S1OO,OOO.
It is becoming difficult to buy at any
price certain containers. Last year
many of the market gardeners were
greatly inconvenienced in marketing
their produce Conditions are worse
this year than last.
"This situation has been brought to
the attention of the council by several
of the Market Garden Associations
throughout the state. 1t has been thor
oughly investigated by our Division OF
| Commercial Economy, and in accord
ance with its report and after discus
sion the council has passed the fol
lowing vote:
"'VOTED, That the council cal
upon all dealers, producers and con
suIners of farm produce as a patriotic
duty to cooperate in the preservation
for reuse of containers, and to tina
end recommend that wherever prac
teal specific rebate be allowed TO
the return of such containers by pur
chasers, and that in particular com
munities organized effort be made t
prevent the destruction and insure tn
reuse of containers not so returned
and that the council direct the war bu
reaus of the state to take approprlat
action to carry out the purposes here

FOR BETTER BABIES
To MAKE BETTER men
Campaign in Connecticut Con-
sidered important Health
Movement.

More than half of the towns In Con-
necticut have inaugurated child well
fare camaigns to reduce infant NOR
tally and create better health condi-
lions, a state wide task that is being
undertaken by the Child Welfare De-
partment of the Connecticut State
Council of Defense. Communities that
have passed the first phase of the cam
paign, the weighing and measuring
tests, are now being urged to consider
and meet the need of public health
nurses.
Portland was the first town in the
state to report it's weighing and meas
uring campaign completed, while Ca
naan was the first town to make
summary of its child welfare work
The town. weighing and measuring the
largest number of babies was New
Haven, its grand total being approx
mately $4,000.

At the meeting of the Community
Labor Board of Willimantic, which
consists of A. A. Burton, chairman,
representing the United States Labor
Bureau; Clifford J. Alpaugh, repre-
senting manufacturers, and Rufus FL.
Rood, representing employees, the
matter of furnishing the quota of I'M
unskilled men from the Windham dis
| trict for war work was discussed. The
| Windham district includes the towns
of Windham, Ashford, Chaplin, East
ford, Hampton and Scotland, with an
estimated population of 10000. The
quota of the district is 229, which is
l 1-3 per cent of the quota called in
the state.
In their crusade against Sunday au-
tomObilists Norwalk police found four
men who did not have their registra-
ton certificates or drivers license with
them and have summoned them to
court.
There are people who have thought
the United States post Office upwar-
rantably slow. They. have even said
unkind things and thought worse. But
a case has been revealed at Danielson
recently which should be of comfort To
the most skeptical. A post card mail
ed at the Putnam post office eight
years ago has just reached DanielsOn
The towns are five miles apart.

Bobbic's mother pattcd and
soothed her. A suspicious moist
ure dewed her eyes. She SAID she
supposed it was only a short time
before her Bobbie would do like
wise And she wanted to know the
name Of the child who told. Mrs.
Brown murmured the name Of the
same sophisticated heather who
had been Bobbie's informant.
Something within the eight
ycar-old breast surged and
spanked. Bobbic stole to the hat
rack, pulled his woolly cap over
his ears and buttoned up his thick
nackinaw. Then he went in
aarch of the sophisticated heathen
and punched his nose for him.
or by his wisdom had he de-
-royed the faith in two little
1earts and brought tears to two
mothers eyes.
On this Christmas Day let us 90
ana do likewise. Let us tigura-
lively punch the nose of any one
who by his wisdom keeps us from
helng foolish, kiddish and happy
during the holidays.
Christmas is always an excuse for
Joymaking, be it ever so senselesS-
and this Christmas is the super
excuse. Come Let us be kids again
just for to-day.
