Tran Shoot Planned


 The first trap shoot of the Nau- gatuck Fish and Game association will be held next Saturday at the clubs grounds on Candee road, it was announced today by Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr. The affair is not only open to members of the club, but also is open to other sportsmen, not members, who fancy their skill at this sport.
 It is hoped by this meanes to increase membership by arousing interest in the club on the part-of non-members. A group of members were on hand last Monday night and they cleaned up the grounds, did needed grading and got things in shape for the shoot.
 There is no inter-club. shooting co,upetition this year as in previous years. Interest on the part of other clubs is no as keen as formerly, &C., cording to Town Clerk Schiller.
 Members of the club and friends in general in the borough are warned to be on the lookout for water snakes in the brooks. They should be killed whenever seen for they eat the fish in ponds and streams. With the water in the brooks low now, the fish go into spring holes and often when the waters recede they can't get out and make easy prey for the plund- ering snakes.
 Some snakes were recently found and killed at the brook in Cotton Hollow known as Beacon Hill brook b,- The nerve of the creatures, ac- cording to members, was learned recently when two were discovered in the pool on the club property where thousands of fingerlings were reared last winter. Undoubtedly the snakes feasted on some trout there, MT Schiller says.
 The snakes usually travel in pairs so if one is killed, the sur- rounding territory should be scanned for the other.
 Still Work on Airport
 The Bethany Airport project which is being odne by the local EZRA, is not expected to be com pleted before the end of this month, Christian Groh, EZRA work supervisor here, to-day said. MT Groh said that work on the project has been necessarily de- layed because the workers are only able to get the use of one town truck during the day instead of two.
 A road which crossed the field Is being removed and a road running parallel is being made past the airport field. The truck is used to carry dirt and for other transpor- tation purposes. The project was begun several months ago.
 There may be another project at the field in the near future, MT Groh indicated, but it will be a state and not 8 local project. It is now planned, he declared to er- ect runways to the airport hang ars, to eliminate the slight hill on the landing part of the field and to make other improvements , there.
 This would probably be PWA project although nothing definite has been decided. It is believed it would benefit all the valley towns and persons from all the towns in the valley might be engaged in the work. Mir Groh said it is planned to make the Bethany airport the key airport of this section of the state. This, he feels, would be a big step toward that direction.
 The project of lengthening Spring street to reach up to the Nauga- tuck line will not be an EZRA project, he said. Because of the clause in the borough charter which requires property owners who benefit by such a project be assessed. he said 1t canont be an
