ARBOR DAY
Governor Trumbull Issues Pro clamation Setting Apart
 Friday, April 27

Friday. April 2Tth, has been desig- mated as Arbor and Bird Day by Gov ernor Trumbull. The proclamation reads.
 As population increases and standards of living improve, the pre- servation of our trees and plant life becomes worth while not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but also in connection with such basic problems as food and shelter Within the memory of most of us, forest con servation was only the hobby of . few enthusiasts. In two decades it has become necessary factor in any general program of civic betterment. Even an elementary knowledge of the perils and safeguards of plant life was until recently, to be scarcely found outside the walls of our agri- cultural schools and experiment sta tions.
 None Too Young
 Now, no child is too young to learn the tragic story of our chest nut trees, to help in the elimination of the tent-worm, the Japanese bee tie. and other Scourges, and to appre- ciate the part played by our bird life ia the destruction of garden pests of an sorts. In order that our thoughts and activities and education facilities may be directed to this phase of out 0f-door life at time of year when its beauties as well as its utility make special appeal. l designate Friday, tine twenty-seventh of April, next, as Arbor and Bird Day.
 In Schools
 'sThe day should be observed m our schools by special exercises. di- rected as much 10 the utilitarian im- portance of our natural resources as to an appreciation of their beauty. That such exercises be reflected in constructive work, is my earnest hope. The replanting of our high ways, the identification of our door yards. the replenishment of orchards, the elimination of all enemies to healthy plant life, offers wide scope for the knowledge and intelligence of every man. woman and child in this state. The value to Connecticut of coordinate effort of this sort can hardly be overestimated."

FISH AND GAME
 CLUB IS ACTIVE
Northeastern Connecticut Or. ganization Co-operates With
 State Commissioner
Releases Game Birds And Fish In
 This Territory

The recent annual meeting of the Northeastern Fish & Game Club has aroused interest among sportsmen in this section and it is anticipated that there will be an enrolment of many new members. The club covers the towns of Putnam, Thompson, Pom- fret. Woodstock, Eastford and Ash ford. Anyone in this district Is eligi- bie to join. The yearly dues are but a dollar.

 Money received from dues Is used in cooperation with the State Fish and Game Commission in the prcser- walton and propagation of fish and game in this section. Each year brooks are stocked with thousands of trout from the hatcheries and bass and other fish are released in the lakes and ponds
 There are organizations all over the state doing a similar work to pre- serve the states hunting and fishing English pheasants and partridge are also release each year SO that these species of game birds may not be- come extinct.
 Elaborate Program
 The State Commission has an elaborate program outlined. It goes beyond the propagation of fish and game and includes the preservation of the natural forests of the state and reforestration.
 The state has leased brooks through out the state and these brooks have been stocked with trout. They are open 10 the public al such time as it Is lawful to take this species of fish and the sportsmen are cooperating with the state by using the privi- lege SO as not to antagonize the land owners through whose premises these streams run
 It is only through the instrument tality oR such clubs as the North eastern Fish X Game club, the Daniel son Rod and Gun Club, in this corner of the state, and by other similar or ganizations throughout the state, that this work. valuable 10 the sportsmen, Co the state and the citizens of the commonwealth, that the work can be carried on
 The local club has plans for it's an- nual banquet next month and 1t is anticipated that there will be a large gathering. Able speakers will be pre- sent to arouse new interest 10 the movement The several similar oe- casions of the past years have proved enjoyable. interesting and of benefit to the state and Co the subdivisions thereof in carrying forward this great work.

AN HONEST DECISION

Judge YankWich OF the Los Angeles county super
or court Is to be commended for his ruling which
fused to recognize the validity in this state OF divorce
obtained in Nevada through the temporary residence"
dodge.
For years the state Of affairs which made citizens
OF any state eligible to obtain divorce in Nevada by
proving residence there for a period of six months,
has been a national scandal
Persons with marital grievances real or fancied,
but undoubtedly mostly in the latter class have flock
ed to Reno established themselves in residence there,
and at the completion of six months applied for di-
Norce as residents Of Nevada and usually obtained it,
Not always was it necessary actually TO reside in
the state. We have in mind the case of prominent
American actress whose residence in Nevada
sisted principally Of going there renting house. and
never actually residing there longer than the time it
took her to obtain house and to obtain divorce six
months later.
Judge Yankwich held in the present case. that
woman had maintained residence in Reno solely for
the purpose Of obtaining divorce and therefore her
divorce could not be held legal in California 1T is
just and reasonable he declared that the differ
ences of married people should be adjusted in accord
ance with the laws of the community to which they
belong. Mrs. Warren's residence in Nevada
ly sham Her divorce there IS not entitled to full
faith and credit
Some legal technicality may nullify this decision
if the principals carry it to higher court but there
is no doubt that morally it is correct.

ICE AND TO SPARE

Add ice one Of he mayor exports OF ImperlaI
Valley and when folks start to tell you about Imperial
Valley heat, don't start telling what hero YOU are,
but tell them that while may be hot, ship out
ice than any other community in the country, Just
at this time.
Elsewhere they hang on to every bit of ice as
though it precious jewel Here. with prOd-
gaty that is in keeping with the valleys enormous
productive capacity, we don't horde our ice.
Just now there are approximately $50 cars of can
taloupes leaving the valley each day. In the bunkers
of each refrigerator there five and one-third
tons of ice, making total export shipment of around
1875 tons per day. That is sufficient ice to supply
good-sized city.
1t may be news to some the folks up on the
that Imperial Valley has any ice at all. One of
the ways to give them the correct slant is let
them know that only have it, and plenty of it,
but we are in the wholesale ice shipping business.

Back Of your Telephone

TELEPHONE service is essentially community
enterprise backed by national experience.
Almost every community on the Pacific Coast
has at least one telephone exchange. And eact
exchange has its staff of home town foks-mcn
and women who are your neighbors, who attend
the same clubs and social gatherings, patronizc
the same stores and daily assume their response
bilties as interested citizens of the place where
they live and serve.
Back of your telephone too is the cumulative
experience Of half century Of research and dc
clopment-continuous and concentrated effort
to improve the telephone art. Thus from the
Bell Laboratories and all Of the twenty four oper-
ating companies of the Bell System, telephone
service in every community benefits by in
ventions and the discovery of better ways to do
things-all making for the highest standards in
telephony now known.

Don't Make a Toy
Out of Baby
Babies Have Nerves
By Ruth Britain
By Ruth Britain

Much of the nervousness in older
children can be traced to the over
stimulation during infancy, caused
by regarding baby as a sort of ami
mated toy for the amusement of par
ents, relatives and friends. Baby may
be played with, but not for more
than a quarter of an hour to an hour
daily Beyond that, being handled,
tickled. caused to laugh or even
scream, will sometimes result in
vomiting, and invariably causes irri-
liability, crying or sleeplessness.
Fretfulness, crying and sleepless-
ness from this cause can easily be
avoided by treating baby with more
consideration, but when you just
can't see what is making baby rest
less or upset, better give him a few
drops Of pure, harmless Castoria. It's
amazing to see how quickly it Gains
baby's nerves and soothes him to
sleep; yet it contains no drugs or
opiates. 1t is purely egetable-the
recipe is on the wrapper Leading
physicians prescribe it for collie, chol-
era, diarrhea, constipation, gas on
stomach and bowels, feverishness.
loss of sleep and all other "upsets'
of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles
used a year shows its overwhelming
popularity
With each bottle of Castoria, you
get book on Motherhood, worth its
weight in gold. Look for Chas. H.
Fletcher's signature on the package
So you'll get genuine Castoria. There
are many limitations,
