IMPROVEMENTS FOR
" SUMMER CAMP
Formal Opening Set for
June z7-l034 Budget,
S8,544 Approved

A great many new improvements
were discussed last evening by the
camp committee of the YMCA as
necessary for the Y camp before its
opening on June 81. A complete
new DISTINGUISHING system has been
included in the camp budget for
1884, at the request of Stanley Vo-
lovski, chairman of the camp i'm
provement committee.
The same committee with the
help of Alfred Meyerhans, chair
man of the YMCA camp budget is
investigating the best plan for in
stalling electric lights in the din
ing hall. The tennis courts will be
completely made over with an ex-
pert in charge of the work. A clay
surface has been advised. Several
new tents must be purchased to
take care of requirements and the
larger number of boys expected
this season.
Camp chairman Barlow l.. Hem
inway presided at the meeting
which met to authorize the above
improvements and several others.
Alfred Meyerhans submitted the
budget for 1894 which included
the expenditures of $8,544, and re-
ceipts of the same amount. Chair
man Heminway announced that
the staff would be larger this year
in that additional college men
must be added in keeping with the
camp policy of keeping tent
leader busy with his tents all day.
The Waterbury Y camp is a
leader in this field of q closer tie
up between the boy and the tent
leader. No longer do boys go
through routine activities in masses
but throughout the entire week
boys and leaders together plan the
things they are most interested in.

Making his first visit to this city
as a speaked in many months, DR.
Edward G.. Dolan, internal revenue

fairs. 1t seeks but the chance to

MILK PRODUCERS
POLICY OUTLINED
Under Quota Plan Pro=
Queer Can Deliver Sur
plus Milk at Will

Hartford, March 81 - The new
policy of the Connecticut Milk
Producers Association under which
no member will be required, I'M
less he wishes, to sell any of his
milk in the low-priced surplus
classes is outlined in the March
issue of the C. M. p. A. Bulletin,
published today, in an article by
General Manager Henry w. Fie-
nemann of the association.
Contracts drawn on the new
marketing plan already have been
signed by more than 1000 produce
ers and will go into effect April 1.
Connecticut dairymen, Mr.. Fie-
nemann said, live in region
where the cost of producing milk
Is high and they. cannot afford to
produce milk for butter, cheese,
evaporated milk, and other low
priced dairy products, in competi-
ton with the west.
The mark citing plan must there
fore be built around the principle
of supplying only Connecticuts re-
QuirementS for fluid milk sales.
Since the demands of the consum-
er vary substantially from day to
day the producers. to guarantee a
sufficient supply to take care Of
fluid milk sales, must produce some
extra milk. This goes into table
cream uses on those days when 1t
is not needed for fluid milk sales.
The c. M. p. A. has audited figures
over a period Of years that show
what the Connecticut markets need
for fluid milk.
The quota plan will be used in
stead of the old pooling plan.
Under tho quota plan, each men,
Der gets a quota, arriving at by
taking the amount he agreed to
produce in 1898. This quota Is his
share Of the market.
The c. M. p. A. figures show,
Mr.. Fienemann said, that these to-
tai quotas are approximately 20
per cent higher than what the
states markets need for fluid milk
an dtable cream. C. M. p. A. mem
bers, therefore, will not be asked
to ship more than so per cent
of their quotas. No member will
be asked to deliver any milk for
which he gets the low manufac-
tured or surplus price.
'Under this quota plan." he said
'it becomes a matter of personal
decision whether or not producer
will deliver low-priced surplus
milk. This was not possible under
the old pooling plan."

KENNEY WANTS
u. S.LOTTER!yy
Hearing Is Already Prom
ised Bill To Amend The
Criminal Code
Bv HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. (UP)
Representative Kenney. Fem, Of
New Jersey, announced yesterday
that he was going to introduce 4
bill to create a national lottery,
and automatically he became the
man of the hour for that brave
little band of optimiSts which
fritters away the hours trying to
fill inside Straights or pick a win
ner in the fifth race at Belmont.
If he has his way, gambling 10
the tune of $1,000.000,000 a year
is going to join whisky and beer
in the select circles of things you
can enjoy without running the
risk of becoming an inmate at
Leavenworth or Atlanta.
The nation is ready for legal
lied gambling, Kenney believes,
because the repeal of prohibition
was the beginning of an era of
live and let live and let the Anti
Saloon League fall where it may.
1.-The main purpose of the lot
terry" he said. "would be to pro-
vide money to take care of dis
abled veterans. France has a le-
gal lottery. and gets about $780,
100000 a year from it. There is
no reason why the United States
couldn't get $1,OOO,OOO,OOO an
nually."
Kenney says Americans already
are participating in lottery, but
its the Irish sweepstakes when
gives Uncle Sam nothing but the
headache he incurs from trying
TO enforce the law against send
ing lottery material through the
mails.
He already has a bill to amend
the criminal code so that a person
can promote and participate IN a
lottery without violating the law
He said the post office committee
had promised an early hearing. -,
If that bill passes. Kenney VIII
offer another one to create an OIL
ranization to run the lottery.

The Hendersonville Bearcats
pried the lid off the current bas-
ketball season last night IN a
game with the Asheville Maroons
and pulled from the basket the
short end of a 33 to 20 count.
The Cats demonstrated, how
ever that they have possibilities,
and but for the third period when
the uuint went on an aerial tour,
The opener was nice ball game.
Lvda drew first blood for the
locals shortly after the game
opened with a field goal, but the
smooth-playing Mullvaney evened
the count with a pair of free
shots. The first period was a real
battle, with the lead changing
hands five times, and the visitors
winding up on the long side of an
8 to 7 score.
The Cats seemed to hurry their
play in the second period and
dropped back still a few more
points, trailing II to II at the
halfway post. LYDIA scored the
only points for the locals in the
third period with field goal.
The Cats were still erratic IN
the third period and trailed SO to
13 when Coach Leper sent in ms
substitutes. Then. with LYDIA and
Drake taking the lead the Cats
pulled up to 20 points before the
game ended.
