CONFERENCE SOON
 ON H. 5. GRID GAME
Holmes, Slade and Cassidy to
 Decide on Place Of Contest

Final decision as to where the New Britain Hartford High school game will be played, will be reached shortly at a conference in which Superintend- ent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes, Principal L. P. Slade of the High school and George M. Cassidy. direct, or of physical education, will take part.
 It now appears unlikely that the game will be played in New Britain and Trinity field in Hartford seems to be favored.
 Principal James C, Moody, who supcrvises the financial side of High school athletics, being school controller and Director Cassidy visited Willow Brook park yesterday and pronounced it as very undesirable for an important high school contest. Consideration was given the possibility of using St. Mary's playground, but because there is not a suitable fence around the field 1t was felt that too many would enter without paying; and Hofman's field was found to be too small to accommodate the crowd that is expected at the game. It was practically decided that Trinity field be recommended for the game.
 Director Cassidy. discussing the Willow Brook situation with a Her alu' representative today, said;
 The ground is in such a bad con dition that it would not be wise to hold the game there this year. I cer- tainly would not like to have tho boys play there. If there is possible chance we will play in New Britain. but at the present time there docs not seem to be a field available for the game"
 Principal Slade said this afternoon that St, AIary's field was out of the because of the inability of the management 10 insure d fair per- eentage of paid admissions from those the game. The findings of Nessrs. Moody and Cassidy practically eliminates Willow Brook park as a possibility, and it is admitted on all hands that the size of Hoffman field and it's inadequate fencing eliminates the only other playing field in tho city and makes the chances Of a game in Hartford greater.

RAID ON CAFE AS OWNER FACES JUDGE
Pietryski's Place Raided While
 Proprietor Is in Town Court
tspeeiaI to The Heraldl. :.

Southington, Nov. 1.-Walter Pie tryski of West Center street besides being fined s200 and costs and receiv- ing a sentence of 15 days in jail for liquor law violation, will be tried again in the town court next Monday afternoon on similar charge follow ing the visit of some of the towns officers to his cafe on West Center street while he was being tried in the court yesterday on charges fol- lowing a raid on his place last Sat urday night
 Pietryski was one of the eight who had been notified to be in court by Detective Edward Hickey's men in their clean up drive here Saturday night and when his case was called in the court, he stood up to receive the fine and the sentence to jail. When he had sat down, he was again called up, this time to be placed under ar rest on the charge of liquor law viola tion again. Dazed, Pietrysli started to protest that he had already been sentenced to pay the penalty, but he was immediately informed that his place had again been raided while he was being tried in court, and his wife had been arrested also. The police claim that they seized two bottles of alleged liquor and Pietrysh had to put up a bond Of sl.000 in order 10 get out until Monday.
 The officers who conducted the raid used strategy in order to get the evidence yesterday, they state. They had complaints that liquor was being sold in Pietryski's cafe even though he was awaiting trial. They swooped down on the cafe. but those in the place were too quick for them and their search was fruitless. They then left under th" scrutiny Of watchful eyes ostcnsibly to enter another place across the street In d few moments when all was quiet. they dashed back rtu ricttyski's plac" and were sue ccssu in gvtting the goods. Mrs. lietrysi WAS i'm tn" place and she was placed under arrest and she and her husband will face the judge again on Monday afternoon.

forest lands in private ownership,
cut-over as well as timbered, is
the most urgent thing. The pres
.ent cooperation of the Federal
government with the states in fire
protection should be increased.
Adequate protection on a basis Of
20 per cent by the Federal gov
eminent, 25 per cent by the state,
and so per cent by the landowners
might ultimately cost the govern
ment $2,250,000 annually.
Adjustment of taxes to the
long time nature of timber crops
probably ranks next to fire pro
lection in Importance. This ques-
ton is obviously of state jurisdic-
ton. The planting of forest trees
should be given special public aid.
and | believe the Federal govern
ment should offer financial coop
Grafton to the states in growing
nursery stock to be distributed at
cost for this purpose.
"Public forest ownership should
be extended. The Federal gov
eminent should administer for
forest purposes all its present pub
lie lands suitable for this, and
should acquire additional lands by
purchase or exchange. State and
municipal forests should be en-
couraged, With respect to private
lands, it is my belief that the for
est policy of the United States
should offer every reasonable en-
.couragement to timber growing by
private land owners through the
force of enlightened self-interest
and commercial gain, but that the
policy will not be complete or full
ly effective without reasonable
forms Of public control over for
est lands. Under our constitutions
AL and other limitations such pub
lie control must probably be left
to the exercise of the police pow
ers Of the state, at least at the
present fine. There are certain
definite advantages, as well as
disadvantages, in this course. This
is, however a question on which
sincere advocates Of forest conser-
yation differ. Ii is an exceedingly
important phase of the entire sub
ject which the committee should
fully investigate and weigh.
a well-balanced national for
estry program should provide for
enlarged research facilities in tim
her growing and timber use. The
existing forest experiment stations
maintained by the Federal gov
eminent should be extended and
The facilities for studying the
many technical and industrial
problems involved IN the use of
timber should also be enlarged.
"lt is hoped that the committee
may be able to give some study
to needed developments in this
field of Federal effort. "
