LaFrance.- physicians and veterinarians
of this vicinity, members of the board Of
health and the special committee Of the
Windham County Farmers association
on the eradication of tuberculosis; from

E. c. Rogers of this city, S. H. Peckham
Of Woodstock and John Stromberg of
Abingdon, are to hold a conference and
discussion that will lead to further steps |
in the plan to clean up an area to include |
this and surrounding towns so that there
Will not be a tubercular dairy COW in the |
territory.
The special committee referred - has |
appointed subcommittee in each of the |
Is towns of the county. 1t is expected |
that much valuable progress will be the
result of Thursday afternoons confer
ence. Windham county is leading the
counties of the state in its fight against
tubercular cattle. but what has been done
already is regarded as only a start along
the road that will lead to the point where
anyone who buys a quart of milk in this
territory can feel absolutely assured that
it comes from healthy COW and that
there is not the slightest menace in using

Supt. Ernest Witham Of Putnam's
schools said Tuesday that plans are be-
| ing made for an institute for town school
| committee members to be held at the
| high school here Tuesday, Jan. 81. Mr..
| Witham is making the arrangements by
| direction of A. 3. Meredith, commission
er of education in Connecticut. The pro-
| gram for the institute will be announced
| the first of the coming week. This insti-
tute will bring together school committee
I l.
Windhan county.
County Game Warden Harry E. Battey,
who also is a federal GAME warden,
sounded the warning Tuesday that fish
ing for p:ckerel in private ponds after
| jan 81 will be as much a violation of the
| law as fishing in any pond, lake or res
ervoir, and that even owners Of the land
| surrounding such so-called private lakes
or ponds will be as liable to arrest as any
other person if they take pickerel on and
after Feb. 1. 1t seems the impression
has gained some ground that owners of
land surrounding ponds have a right to
take pickerel during February without
violation of the law. Warden Battey says
this is an erroneous view.
Anyone, however, may fish for piclssrel
in rivers during February. The closed
season on these fish begins March /.
