HOME ON FuRLoUGH
Cadet Allen Thsyer Leaves West
 Point and Arrives In Putnam

Cadet Allen Thayer, class of 1928, United States Military Academy, West Point. N. r., a graduate of Put nam High school, son of Mir. and Mrs. Charles A. Thayer. and appointed to the Academy by Representative Rich ard P. Freeman, second district Con necticut, left for his home on a two and a half months furlough immedi- ately upon the conclusion of the gra- duation exercises of the Class of 1926 Saturday morning
 Except for short Christmas leaves (none during first Christmas at the Academy), this furlough is the only long leave of absence granted to a Cadet during his four years.
 The practice of granting furloughs is historic in the annals of the Aca- demy. dating from 1919. They are granted to the cadets of each class at the end of their second year here. Marking a welcome relief from the strict discipline and the difficult aea- demic work of the preceding two years, it affords chance to visit fam fly and friends who. in many cases, have not been seen since entering the Academy. IL is eagerly looked for ward to by every man from the day he is first enrolled as cadet at the Military Academy.

 ing 10 Consumers

An article apearing in the June edi- ton of "The Windham County Farm CTS Association News" presumably written by the county agent. is pos sihly more enlightening to consum- CTS than to the member producers of the organization familiar with what IS going on. It is gratifying to know that agriculture is being advanced in this section on the basis of The County of Quality Agricultural Pro- ducts" With this slogan before them and adhered to the farmers of East ern Connecticut will surely prosper. The agent says:
 'Windham County, the county of Quality Agricultural Products de- scribes better than ever before the character of agricultural progress be- i ing made. Our Farmers Association is taking its proper place of leader ship in fostering the production of quality agricultural products.
 Quality Milk
 Our Farmers Association MIX Marketing Committee was largely re- sponsible for bringing to a large number of dairymen in Windham County the opportunity to produce quality milk. The dairymen are grate- ful for the splendid service rendered and to prove their gratefulness quite number of new men have become members of our Association.
 "0ne of the most recent activi- ties of our County Poultry Commit tee was in connection with the white lsa-L.. ~is Az. more focks than ever before were tested for white diarrhea and Wind ham county has taken a step forward in the production of quality chicks.
 Our Farmers Association Vege- table Committee has assisted in the introduction of a better vegetable package, the bushel box and one thousand of these will be used this year to carry better quality vege- tables to market.
 Quality Fruit
 "The Farmers Association Fruit Committee has backed a movement for the production of quality fruit in Windham county. Quality fruit in volume can be purchased in Wind ham county today which wasn't the case a few years ago.
 Our Farmers Association should feel proud of the important part it hns played in bringing about this agricultural progress. The satisfac- ton of serving Windham county's agriculture is made greater by look ing back and seeing the definite pro- gress that our organization is help ing to accomplish and hearing the fine words of appreciation and en- couragement from those whom 1t is serving.
 Let's help the officers, directors and committees of our Farmers As- sociation push the Quality Agricul- tural Products" program"

When TWO beasts of the jungle meet

When two civilized men meet in a

1t is not at all probable that good
manners originated in kindness ~

quality we call courtesy must have
been mere discretion.
But because man delights in his own

belief that eood manners are wholly

The truth is that good manners are

HOW much do you pay for wasted

Careful tests by heating engineers
show that from 25R to 35% of furnace
heat is needlessly wasted through solid
walls and roofs.
That is because wood lumber, ma
sonry and other usual wall and roof
materials, when used alone, offer too
little resistance to the passage Of heat
and cold.
This great waste of fuel can now be
stoppedl An amazing heat-stopping
