cLEAN-uP OF lpLERs
Local Board to Act in Seeing to It That All Are Employed and in Es- sentiaI Lines.

The local board for this district has received it's first inquiry relative to d change of occupation such as must come for many within a few weeks under President Wilson's proclafna- ton that men engaged in essen tial work shall be obliged to seek new occupation in some line that. is con- tributing toward the winning of the war
 In this district, as in others, there is going to be a cleanup of idlers, who will be sent to camps forthwith if they do not find useful occupation, and the cases of men engaged in non- essential occupations will be individ- ually reviewed in order to determine whether change of occupation should be ordered.
 The man who inquired yesterday is engaged as a spare bartender and for doing odd work not connected with the country's mighty effort to win the war. He was told that he must seek other work. under the presidents rul- ing, and said he would elect to go in to one of the local mills as a weaver on government goods
 The local board does not intend to be harsh for unreasonable in enforc- ine the order. but where no hardship will be worked by applying the rule it will be generally applied and is ex- pected to apply to a large number of men in the district.
 All changes ordered will be in ac- cordance with the official rules to be announced later.
 Bad Places in Highway. 1 Automobiles are complaining that 1 there are sections of the state high way that leads from Putnam to Che
 paehet dangerous to a driver who risks turning his machine off the 16- | foot state highway onto the sandy
 sideways that look secure enough tc
 hold up a car. but which, in places
 offer only a very treacherous footing
 for heavy machines.
 Some men who have swung out
 wide to pass an approaching car anG
 have gone into these strips of sand
 bordering the state road have losi
 control of their machines and in some
 cases damaged them.

FOOD EXHIBIT
Proved a Revelation and Inspiratior
 to Local Housewives.

The patriotic food exhibit held in town hall May 24th, afternoon and evening, was thoroughly appreciated by the public if it could be gauged by the enthusiasm of the numbers pres ent and the many recipes copied. All the tables were attractively decorated and so heavily laden with delicious connections that even Mir. Hoover would have had to acknowledge that I the women of Killingly had gone over the top" in their efforts to prove l that his plan of conservation was not l the burden which many have pictured | it to be. On the contrary, it will prove l to be a great blessing in improved 1 health and in economy.
 l One corner of the hall was particu- larly enticing, where hot southern griddle cakes were served throughout l the evening under the direction Of Miss Morris. the social leader of Connecti- l cut mills.
 Two other features marked this ex- | hibit-one table devoted exclusively to wheatless breads, mufIins, pies. cakes, etc; the abundant variety and appe- ttizing appearance was a surprise to all
 who saw and sampled them and was a
 convincing evidence that no one need go hungry or suffer any discomfort on a wheatless diet
 The other was devoted to conserva- ton literature and was well patron ized. showing that 1t was an audience
 seeking intelligently information along 1 these lines.
 1 The tables of wheat and substitutes.
 potatoes and their uses, meat substi-
 tutes and desserts were all allur- l ing beyond resistance and doubtless
 more than one left the hail feeling ] she had baaqueted more richly than l wisely.
 Mrs. Rienzi Robinson and her efi- 1 cient committees and sub committees worked to make this exhibit a practical help to the housewives, so that the l brave boys across the sea might never know the bangs of hunger because the people at home had been unnlindful of
 their needs. The patriotic decorations 1 of the hall and tables indicated the sympathetic cooperation of the com
 mittees in charge. No more vital war
 work can be done than that of con serving food, for the prophecy made by M. de Bloch in his great work, The Future of War, that the next wal ] would produce condition of world wide famine, is now being fulfilled for on the outskirts of the world star
 vation with its tragic suffering has overwhelmed the people and is slowly creeping in all parts Of the civilized world. A recently returned missionary from Syria tells the f1orrihla sight o1
 one village, the houses all destroyed with the exception of ane in the
 doorway of which sat a tiny girl rock ing back and forward. iisping the words I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry. ,
 Every housewife must wake up to the
 realization that this prophecy faces i@, 1 The destiny of these nations hangs on the continued food supply in which the housewife plays a most important part. The fine exhibit of wheat sub stitutes kindly loaned by MT. Colvins of the Quinebaug store gave the house wife large variety to choose from ir her conservation of wheat and rye.
