There is to be an open season for duck
hunting this year, but under the strictest
regulations ever imposed by the govern
ment. ]. N. Darling, director of the bio
logical survey, better known as Ding the
keen cartoonist, explains the rigid rules
as the only alternative to closed season.
We've killed more ducks than we've
Matched every year for the last S5 years,
he says.
Among the things not permitted duck
hunters this year are sinkboxes, sneak
boats and open-water shooting. They may
shoot over baited water or land, and they
may not use live decoys. Shooting is re-
stricted to the hours between z a. m. and
D. m. Some bag limits are reduced, and
possession of more than one days bag is
illegal Hunters may use shotgun only,
not larger than No. 10 gauge and with
a three-shell limit on auto-loading and re-
peating shotguns. Instead of coming by
states there will be just two zones. The
season for the northern zone will extend
from October Fl to November 10. In the
southern zone it will begin November 20
and end December 9.
Even with these restrictions, says the
executive director Of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies, too many ducks
will be killed A closed season, he believes,
is vitaaly necessary. There probably will
always be two schools of thought on such
a matter. One of them wants to have its
hunting and it's hunted, too. The other
would like to have less hunting - or none
at all - and more birds. Killing more
ducks than we hatch can't go on indefi-
nitely, however, if we do not wish the
wild ducks to go the way of the passenger
pigeon.

An Aggressive Advocate

They are referring to Mayor Jasper
McLevy of Bridgeport now as an "ag-
gressive advocate" of special legislative
session. Last week the Bridgeport social
list went to bat for the session in on uncer-
tain terms. He even said that Governor
Wilbur L. Cross should use his office to
force special session, so that relief mat
ters in the state may be definitely decided
before winters cruel blasts are bowling
at the door. The figure of speech is ours
not Mayor McLevy's.
Even with the fiery socialist demanding
Special legislation to deal with relief
problems, we feel that the need is not so
great as that. We believe that Connect
cut will weather the storm this winter as
well as it has the past two or three. 1t
that isn't enough for some people, then
we'll all have to pitch in and do our ut
most to help out. We have consistently
opposed special session since one was
first proposed two years ago. We see no
greater reason to change our mind now
than then.
If Connecticut's duly-elected legisla-
tors could not come to an agreement this
spring on the type of program that should
be put into effect in Connecticut, why
should we conclude summer vacation
will have changed fixed opinions. Mayor
McLevy says, "No agreement on a specific
program of legislation can be reached
without trying" Are we to think that
no attempt was made when the Assembly
was regularly convened to solve unem-
ployment and relief problems? If relief
was wanted, we could have had a de-
termined effort to reduce state govern
ment expenses. To our mind that's the
paramount issue of the day. s

Chinese Money

Cash is said to be a Chinese word,
and we seem to be getting around to
Chinese money in our petty coinage. 1nas-
much as money is one of the leading
human interests, the reported plans at
Washington serve at least conversational
purpose. A square coin for a half-cent
piece, and round coin with hole in the
middle for one-mill piece, will provide
plenty of discussion. There will be addi-
tional fuel for comment if the mill is
made of aluminium, giving the nation
another money-metal.
Asiatic countries, especially China, have
had square coins and doughnut coins for
ages. Such shapes would probably serve
a useful purpose in the present case, to
avoid confusing these new issues with
coins of higher value. The aluminium
doughnut coin would be less of novelty in
America than the square coin. Tom john
son introduced it in Cleveland about. rs
years ago as three-cent piece to use in
his municipal trolley system.

Work And Dole

It must restore somewhat the peace of
mind of worried local and state relief
heads to be assured that the federal gov
eminent will not cut off all direct relief
on November as was at first planned.
AS it becomes clear that not all the en-
ployables now on relief can be put to
work either in private industry or on
WPA jobs by that date, it becomes equally
clear that those unemployed will have to
be helped as long as necessary. 1t is
clear, too, that few states and local units
will be able to assume so soon the full
direct relief burden.
If direct relief is to be continued, there
must be more vigorous effort to get the
wilful shirkers - those who refuse avail
able jobs because they find the dole more
to their liking = off the relief lists. 1t is
not humane, of course, to ask starving
man whether he is deserving or not before
taking care of him.. But it is quite humane
to promote a little stiffening of the spine
IN the haracter-weaklings who dodge
work. from laziness. Making them hustle
at the sVailable job they didn't want to
take wig benefit their families and ease
the public relief burden.

Now a "Rat-Hole"

Judging by the above expression the
meeting of West Haven voters held last
week to decide the fate of the proposed
Savin Rock parkway was exciting as well
as productive of some frank talk. AS
result of the session, however, the town
will not proceed to issue 100000 bond
issue, but will ponder on the matter of the
parkway bit longer. In view of the
estimated cost of 100000, $180,00O of
which will be a federal grant, we don't
blame the taxpayers to hesitate. In these
days that's lot of money for town to
spend on mere park, even seaside park
There were expressions of opinion in
favor of and against the parkway. There
were also some remarks made on the con-
dition of the resort as a result of exploit
tation in recent years. 1t was during this
discussion that one taxpayer pointed out
that at one time Savin Rock was favorite
shore resort with hundreds of people, but
todayhad become nothing but "rat-hole".
That's bit hard on the present fire.
quenters of the place. many of them re-
spectacle citizens from various commune
ties in the state.
Naturally all Connecticut is more or less
interested in the development of Savin
Rock from the highly-commercialized
spot that it is right now into something
approaching the idea that many West
Haven residents, as we'll as others in the
state, have conceived for many years past
The opportunity of getting federal
grant for such development is tempta-
tion that might be. regretted if the town
should not be in financial position to
float 100000 loan After all these are
hard times. 100000 parks are luxuries
and before indulging in them, many things
must be taken into consideration.

We. have had plenty of books
detailing the ferocity with which
the Nazi government in Germany
goes after its political enemies. But
IT Was Hitler's Prisoner" by: Ste
fan. Lorant, is something new. 1t
shows how plain, ordinary chisel-
ers occasionally use the Nazi' party
machinery for their own ends and
turn the Hitler revolution into
something very like an American
racket.
Lorant was Hungarian. and
when Hitler came to power he was
editor of the Munecher Illustrierte
Presse. This paper never dabbled in
politics. Lorant had never said or
published a word against Hitler. He
was as neutral as a man could be.
Nevertheless, he was arrested
and hustled off to prison-where
he remained for slightly more than
six months. During all Of that time
he never knew of what he was ac-
cused. He had no hearing. No
charges were placed against him.
Evetually, however, he never
knew of what he was accused. He
had no hearing. No charges were
placed against him.
Eventually, however. he learned
what was up. Someone wanted his
job. This someone was a prominent
Nazi. So Lorant was arrested, and
his job-a pleasant and lucrative
one-was gobbled up by the schem-
ing Nazi. When Lorant was at last
released he was Obliged to return
to Hungary, his career wrecked by
a chiseler who had hidden his
chisel under the Nazi cloak.

It's rather refreshing in these days
when all talk in Europe and Asia seems
to be of war to read that France can take
time out to pay her respects to the food
geniuses that she has given birth to in
years past A recent check-up in France
revealed that monuments to six of these
men and women who have left to mankind
a rich legacy in food and drink are stand
ing. There is an obelisk for Nine. Marie
Harel at Camembert, for she discovered
the delectable Camembert cheese. Brillat-
Savarin, the great French judge an
master cook has a statue at Belley, his
birthplace. At LIE Havre is the Sugar
Loaf monument, because Frances cane
sugar comes through this port At the
monastery of Hautvillers Dom Perignon,

ored with monument. Fat Alsatian

they have not yet increased in
numbers sufficiently to become a
major pest except in a few towns
and cities. Oddly enough the
first infestation generally appears
in cities, apparently because Of
the fact that city gardeners depend
upon nursery stock, and they
sometimes get stock which has the
BEETLE eggs deposited in the soil
which is balled about the roots
of plants. b.. /
Japanese beetles are hardy and
prolific. They will not feed upon
poisoned vegetation. Spraying,
therefore protects the plants which
are sprayed but does. not diminish
the pests who simply move to the
next field. In hot weather the Jap
anese beetles are active and Wig

pearance of the garden. Hand
picking and trapping are the
methods chiefly favored for pro-
lection against the BEETLES, but this
is like trying to win a world war
by conducting neighborhood' skir-
mishes. :.
The experts are pinning their
hope upon the Introduction of inn

Japanese beetles, leaving nature to
effect a balance, but the beetles
now have such a head-start that
they are certain to be major
problem to gardeners for some

The good old "mounties", who always
get their man, may be deprived of part OF
their title So many changes have been
made in this famous police force that the
term, mounted, is no longer considered
essential. Once it was the Northwest
Mounted Police. Then it became the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police. Now
out of 1000 men only 300 are actually
mounted The remainder travel in autos,
airplanes, and boats. Still we think for
sentimental reasons it would be nice to
preserve the full title as it is best known.
But then sentiment doesn't count in such
things, does it? ..

A terrifying news item last week
described conditions at one of the
Jersey shore resorts. The item was
terrifying in its implication of
what may happen in other sections
of the east before very long.
A gale of wind blowing off shore
proved too much for the Japanese
beetles which have become major
pest in New Jerseys farms and gar
dens. The beetles were blown into
the sea and they fairly filled the
water in the bathing area-billions
Of them. Later they were washed
up on shore and so Uttered the
beach that bathing had to be sus-
pended.
The death of so many beetles is
a matter of rejoicing, but the fact
that this disaster to the beetle
population effected no sensible de-
crease in the number of beetles at
work on the vegetation Of New
Jersey ought to give warning to
gardeners everywhere of the
frightful visitation that is In. store
