WOMEN'S LEAGUE
 INVITES RAPPORT
Member of State Milk COn= trOl Board to Be Guest
 of County Group

Victor A. Rapport, who will be the chief speaker at the luncheon meeting of the New Haven county convention of the League of Wom- en Voters at Meriden, Wednesday,, September 26, is one of Connecti- cuts brilliant young orators of the present day. He is always versed in his subject matter which, at this meeting, will relate to the milk problem in Connecticut and is a pleasing speaker, usually delivering his remarks extemporaneously. Not only does he speak without pre- pared manuscript, but delights in the give and take form of debate frequently provoked by questions from an audience.s
 Doctor Rapport was born in Hartford thirty years ago and, af- ter his education in the Hartford grammar and high schools, was graduated from Yale university in 1926. After year abroad he at tended the Yale graduate school and in 1880 received his degree of Ph D. Since 1881 he has been as- sistant professor of sociology at the Connecticut State college at Storrs and in 1893 was selected by Cover nor Cross to be one of the three members of the board of milk con trol.
 Edmond A. Perregaux, who will also give an address on the. milk problem. has had considerable ex- perience as an extension economist in Connecticut and other states. At the present time he is the extension economist at the Connecticut State college in the department of coop- erative extension work in agricul- ture and home economics. This de- pertinent also functions in coopera- ton with the United States depart ment of agriculture.
 Dr Perregaux will discuss the milk question up to the time the board of milk control was appoint ed. his talk being somewhat hiss torical. His experience in Connec- ticut, as well as in other states, in a study and survey of this problem, has given him very full and com prehenslve picture of the situation which led up to the creation of the board of milk control.
 The business meeting of the con- vention will begin at II o'clock, at which time several department ehairmen will present the program of work to be voted on at the state convention 10 be held October ga. 23 and 2f in Hartford. The after. noon program will begin at two o'clock.
