LIFT FISHING BAN
AT LAKE ON JULY 3
Sportsmen on That Day May
Legally Fish Alexanders
Lake
Act Of Legislature Makes This Posi-
BILE Three Days a Week

Tuesday, July 3, will have double
significance for many people resident
in this vicinity. One reason, of course,
will be that il is the day before indie
pendence Day. The other reason will
be that on that day Alexander's Lake
may be lawfully fished.
The ban that has been on against
fishing in this large local body of wa
ter will be lifted on that day. because
an act passed at the last session of the
general assembly will become opera
tive July g. In all probability sports
men for miles around will flock TO the
lake during the day, and there Is ev-
cry likelihood that some remarkable
catches will be made.
Charles NJ. Letters of Putnam, fish
and game warden for Windham coun-

Alexander's Lake may be 6Shed, ie-
gally, for the first time in many years,
on Tuesday, July 3. Thereafter the

Hartford, June 2f.-Now that the
general assembly has adjourned, peo-
pie have begun TO discuss the effect
Of the work of the legislators on the
poiities of the state. The Republicans
have no reason TO be anxious over the
effect. The Republican party was in
complete control of the legislature and
il accepts responsibility for the enact
ments Of the legislators TO a measure
able extent, at least. Ii is with con-
fdenee that the Republican party can
20 before the people of the state and
ask for a renewal Of power. In sup
port of its request it can refer to its
record at the session of 1928. Il can
point to tax burdens reduced, gener-
Gus appropriations made for the devel-
onment and maintenance of institu-
tions for the care of the sick, the in
sane ard the dependant, and for the
reformation of the hayward and err
ing. Il will be recalled that Frank f.
Healy struck a keynote in the last
campaign when he declared that the
fear Of increased taxation would not
keep the Republican party from pro-
yiding for the sick and helpless. The
keynote had its effect in making It
clear to the people of the state that
the Republican party would continue
to be responsive to the calls of hu-
manity. There was a generous re-
Spouse to these calls at the session of
the legislature. Nor were the de-
mands of education unheeded. APP
propriations for education, exceeding
those of two years ago by a quarter
OF a million. were voted. The little
red sehoolhouse" will cease to be a
reproach to the state. The grants vot-
ed to the towns enable them to make
ample provision for substantial inn
sTovements in the country schools
There Is no excuse now for the pay
ment Of beggarly salaries to the teach
ers in rural schools. The school dis
trict is no longer a place where teach
ers are allowed 10 languish and starye
in genteel poverty.
Democrats In Split
II would be foolish to deny that
there is a disposition among many
people 70 break away from party lines
next year. The Democrats see evil

ty, but the Republicans see no trou-
bles for their party ahead of them
that cannot be solved by an adherence
to the ideals of the Republican party.
J. Henry Roraback, the chairman OF
the Republican state central commit
tee, was never more firmly entreneh-
ed in the confidence of the Republi-
can electors of the state than he Is at
present. There is every reason to
think that there will be rapproach-
ment between the leaders Of the Re
publican state organization and At
torney General Frank E. Healy and
the other prominent Republicans who
were associated with Mr.. Healy in the
unpleasant difference at the state
convention over the control of the or
ganization last year. and which had
great deal to do with the nomination
Of Mr.. Templeton for governor. There
Is, perhaps, more evidence Of the pos
sibility Of this rapproachment in Fair
field county. particularly in Bridge
port, than in any other part OF the
state. IL Is believed that Former
