LIBRARY MEN TO
 MEET IN BOSTON

Gov. Holcomb has appointed five library trustees to represent Con- necticut at a. conference of New Eng land library trustees to be held April 22 in the Boston public library in support of the Books for Every body" movement of the American Library Association. Among ap- pointees who have accepted the invi- tation to represent the state officially in considering the plan for promoting nationwide library development are Wilbur F. Gordy of Hartford, Mrs. Samuel Russel of Middletown and Dr.
 John G. Stanton of New London, American Library Association officials
 expect, however. that many other Connecticut trustees and friends of libraries will attend.
 The meeting announced for Boston is one of series being held through out the country. Conferences in other sections of the country have given great impetus to the Books for
 Everybody movement, the slogan ap- piled by the American Association to it's plan for promoting the extension 1 of library facilities to reach the co., l 100000 persons who are now without access to free public libraries.

FARMERS WORK
 DAY AND NIGHT
 TO END WORK

Thomas Holt, state dairy and food commissioner, who operates large farm in Newington, has started work ing his farm by moonlight. The day light saving plan does not meet with Commissioner Ho1t's approval neither does it meet with the approval of many other state officials. However, it isn't the daylight saving plan that has caused the commissioner to work by moonlight, as he says it is i'm possible for him, or anyone else to secure sufficient farm labor, and he had to buy tractor, which works all hours of the night and day.
 He has also bought two large searchlights, which play upon the
 fields when night falls. CT had to do this,'' said Com missioner Holt yester- day. t"There. was nothing else to do but to work by moonlight and by searchlight.''
 Reports from throughout the state show that other farmers, too, have rigged up searchlights, and are work ing all sorts of hours to get their work done.

DIRECTORIES MAY BE DELAYED

The shortage of newsprint paper is affecting the publication of telephone directories. Most of the large dfrec- tories are printed in Jersey City. There is an established order of pre- cedence for their issue in Summer and Fall. The order in which the dis tricts received telephone books is New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and then Connecticut
 As the New York District is 1o,- coo tons short of newsprlnt on the current issue, the possibility of Con- necticut telephone directories being delayed this summer is obvious.
