Iished in law. The several States
generally require licenses to hunt
and fish, but, owing to the rightse
of property owners, there Is often
very limited opportunity for the
ordinary citizen to exercise that
privilege. The posting OF lands
prevents the enjoyment OF large
percentage Of streams that are
stocked at public expense.
To meet this condition, the State
of Connecticut has recently enacted
law authorizing the State BOARD
OF Fisheries and Game to acquire
fishing rights on streams by gift.

regulations for administratio Of
the law. An appropriation of $50, 1000
was made to put the system into
effect.
Acting under this law, LOO miles
of brook trout waters on seven OF
the best streams of the State have
been leased. Leases Of $50 farms
have been secured at the nominal
rental OF 800 each for four years,
farmers being satisfied with q ne--lt

Several questions were brought up In
regard to the conditions of the lease,
all of which were favorably answered
by Superintendent McGrail, who stat
ed that 1t was the intention OF 1.-THE
company to be fair In it's dealings with
Gardiner. 1T was voted that upon the
making OF several suggested changes
in clauses of tho lease that 1T be again
presented to the board for action. Mr..
McGrail stated that year ago the
output OF the Gardiner factory was
about 75 dozen a day. while that of.

The Gardiner Forty Club is TO hold
another social function on Tuesday
evening, Nov 16. This will be in the
form of dance and will be held in
the Shrine Club. The object of this
dance is to buy surgical dressing

Gardiner General Hospital. That the
Gardiner Shrine Club is behind this
worthy cause is very certain, as they
have given their hall free for this
event. They have engaged for that
evening the Ritz Radio Orchestra. This
orchestra is making a tour of New
England and the Forty Club feels very
fortunate in securing their services.
With the team comes Phil st. Law

Chilly Weather
Helped Take Joy
From Arn1istice Day

Gardiner, in common with other
sections of the state experienced all
varieties of New England weather
within the past several days. The
predicted cold wave hit here Wednes-
day evening, and the chilling wind
of Thursday spoiled the holiday for
many. The temperature dropped
from that of mildest Indian summer,
at being almost uncomfortable warm
at monday Wednesday, while the
temperature of Thursday was about
80 degrees lower. The cold com
bined with the high wind Wednesday
night made 1t decidedly like winter,
and shortly after 10 o'clock the
streets were abandoned.
Gardiner had no official observance
of the holiday other than that used
over the nation, the silence at II
o'clock and the display of flags. The
flags on Water street made GAL
liant display streaming out in the
wind Thursday, and the majority of
them were taken in at shutdown as is

National Book Week
Observed at First
Meeting Pardiner P. r.

The program presented at the first
meeting for the school year Of the
Gardiner Parent Teacher Association
was in keeping with National Book
Week which is now being observed.
Miss Martha Bartlett Of the Gardiner
Public Library was the first speaker
taking occasion to display number
OF the books now being featured at
the local library. Miss Bartlett
stressed the value of good books as
important factors In the education OF
children, and pointed out that 1t was
far better for the growing child to
have a few good books than number
of poor books. At the close Of the
meeting those present examined the
display and several booked orders for
Christmas delivery through Miss
Bartlett.
The main speaker of the evening
was one always enjoyed by Gardiner
people, namely State Librarian Henry
E. Dunnack, who gave some pertinent
truths in regard to the value of
books. He said that Books, Nature
and Experience were our greatest
educators and that experience is the
essence of living. Sympathy. know
ledge and understanding of life grow
out oil experiences, put lOItIildttiy
experience need not be actual, for 10
the alert mind much is learned from
literature, music and art.
The speaker emphasized the fol-
lowing four points, first, that our lives
are limited by the same circle In
which judgement functions; second.
our lives are limited by the locality
that bounds our lives; third. our lives
are limited by our local vision: fourth
our lives are limited by the brief
space Of time in which We live. In
conclusion he declared that books Of
fered the only possibility Of overcom-
ing these limitations of life.
Mrs. Frank s. Maxcy presided at
+ the meeting, and announced that the
annual election OF officers would have
to be put over until another meeting.
The attendance at last nights meet
ing was small, doubtless due to- the
fact of there being many other enter
tainments scheduled in observance OF
the holiday. but an enthusiastic start
was made toward the fall and winter
activities of the organization.

patronized all during the evening.

this affair who have given freely of
their time and efforts should be con-
graduated on the excellent results

plished.

their attention to the winter sport
Of basketball. At the high school
prospects are bright for both the boys
and girls teams. the boys, however.
have more veterans and material
from which Coach Mckinley may
select q winning quintet.
It is expected to start the business
mems gym classes in another week
or two and there is some talk. OF
starting basketball league here in
the city with four or six teams COM
peting. each team representing a pro-
fession or business, as was done in
the Twilight League. With better
facilities for basketball than for
baseball such League should work
out much more satisfactorily than
