TIME FOR REFoHEsrAr,oN.

For a long time before the wal was thought of attention had been bersis- tently called to the need of making plans for overcoming the inroads which were being made into the for csts of this country and the gradual reduction of the available supply of wood. The need of eliminating waste in the use of our timber supplies and the inauguration of definite plan of reforestation was urged with the be- lief that more or lest attention should be given to it.
 With the opening of the war. how ever, the demand upon our timber supply was greatly increased It was case where the requirements had to be met regardless of the extra tax which it placed upon our forests. There was a securing of the country for black walnut. All sections felt the eali fSr oak for the construction of wooden ships while the spruce and nine areas have been drawn up for arge amounts. But in addition to all his which was taken for the purpose of perfecting the war machine the woodsmen have been busy in swinging the ax for the purpose of providing wood in order to relieve the fuel sit- nation.
 Just what this heavy drain has amounted to 1t is impossible to tell at this time. but it is certain that our forests have suffered much more than they would have under the ordinary demands. We were indeed fortunate to have the material at hand, but that only emphasizes the fact that in- creased attention should now be turn cd to the making of plans at once for the replacing of this timber supply as carly as possible. Forests do not grow in a minute. l. takes time foi trees to mature and certainly witt the developments which are to come In future years it is incumbent upon the present generation to make dut provisions. Reforestation should be begun on a scale sufficiently large te meet the situation.

their disposition to do just as they pleased.
 There are times when this attitude seems to be manifested in the number CT automobile fatalities which are re- ported. During the month Of NoveTn- Der there were ss fatalities in the streets of New York as the result of being struck or run over by motor cars, to say nothing of the large num- Der who received injuries. And Con- aecticut is not frse from similar con- ditions.
 Reckless auto driving is a menace wherever it exists. It is entitled to no leniency, but just as long as it is known that serious violations can be settled by small fine it can be ex- peeted that it viii continue. Such drivers are not only a danger to those along with them and pedestrians, but a menace 10 the careful and cons scientious law abiding operators.

NEEDS TO BE DISCOURAGED.

Time and again has it been demon-
 strated that unless those for whom
 the laws are made are forced to re- spect them they become dead issue. There are those who make no bones Fbout law observance; they are pre- pared to respect all provisions be- cause they are not disposed to do oth- erwise. But there is another class which does not intend to pay any at-
 lention to laws unless they are made To. They take delight in boastine about the many instances where they intentionally disregarded them, about he narrow escapes which they had md even seemed to be disturbed be. .ause their acts were not even more iagrant There have been cases where he reckless have as much as said that hey did not intend to obey restric- lions because such would mean an -Neldsement of their pleasure and

We have speaking acquaintance with about a dozen kinds of grosbeaks Most of them are good singers, and the males of every species are sl1oWily dressed. The rather rare blue gfos beak of the Cafo1inas is unknown here, the cardinal rarely ventures across the border for sniff of cold northern air, but r9sebreast, the best singer and the 1oveliest of the genus, is a common summer resident in town and country.
 Pine orosheaks, around twenty years ago, for successive seasons, were ex- peeted and welcomed as regular win ter visitors. Most of us can recall with pleasure their abundance in Norwich naples and in pines and ap- pie trees in the city suburbs. For all most a dozen winters pines have not come SC far south. but their place here has been 'asseptably filled by their oddly dressed cousins from the north west, the evening grosbeaks. Not in as many hocks as their predecessors, but common enough for two or three seasons for all bird lovers to have a long look at them and a chance to study the habits of both sexes while touring.
  grosbeaks have come to us again. From our point of observation, and from reports, we could trace the in- vasion of the evenings down the Con- necticut river through several towns, and the largest company we followed l through Southbridge to The Naples where they rested before starting along the Quinebaug valley and spreading through Windham county i towns down into New London county l The route of the pines so far this year l is not so clear. They first appeared at The Naples on Thanksgiving eve l where the evenings were always first noticed in this neighborhood.

Doctors declare that every winter thousands of lives are 1leedlessly sac rifioed through neglect of what at first is a simple cold.
 There is grave danger in allowing a cold to wear off" It is more often likely to wear away the lungs and start the development of pneumonia or other serious throat or lung trouble
 At the first sign of a cold you should start taking Father Johns Medicine which is doctors prescription with more than sixty years of success in the treatment of colds and coughs. The gentle laxative effect of Father Johns Medicine drives out impurities and the tonic food elements build new health and strength to ward off further attacks of disease.
 The important point to reinember is that Father Johns Medicine is guaranteed free from alcohol or dan gerous drugs in any form so it is a safe medicine for all the family to take

The meeting of yesterday assumed
the responsibility Of assisting the
of providing laborers for the farmers
and committee. was appointed to-
prepare resolutions which will appear
in another column of the paper dealing
with the question. .
An important resolution was passed
by the council of defense backing up
the proclamation Of the governor
against the use of foreign languages
in public and oyer the telephone. This
resolution alsoa appears in this issue
OF. !. the paper. = The, governor insists
that there: is abundant authority for
the proclamation which he has made
and that. it must be enforced. The last
Legislature clothed the governor of the
state with additional authority and it
is understood that, these acts of the
Legislature will sustain him in the or.

as a war measure the proclamation is
authorized. The remarkable thing was
that the resolution passed by the coun.
Gil of defense was practically unani.

The meeting of yesterday on the
whole was great success and devel.
