May Favor Bill.

A favorable report on the equali- zation bill concerning schools now before the educational committee of the General Assembly is hoped for. Supt of Schools Harold E. Chittenden, and Reps Joseph Jack son and William McDermott at- tended the hearing yesterday. Nau- gatuck would receive $26,O00 in- stead of $6,000 it now gets from the state, if the measure passes. This would help the department to grant the request of teachers for a pay cut restoration. It is pos- sible the appropriations committee might hold it up for lack of funds.

inent lookout stations, visible from
the air. Maps carried by the air
pilots together with these skeleton
maps in use at the airports, make
it possible to describe fire loca-
tons that are spotted along the
air routes.
While these fires in many cases
may have been located by forest
lookouts on federal, state or private
land, supplemental information
from the overhead routes is ex-
tremely valuable, it is stated, and
in numerous instances the air.
planes are able to locate fires miss
ed entirely by ground lookouts. The
cooperation of all agencies and in
dividuals in promptly reporting
forest fires is an essential factor in
cutting down the heavy toll which
the states pay each year to care
lessness with fire in the woods,
according to the forest service.

Erosion Control
Will Be Taught
CCC Workers To Get Instructions;
Say Program
Important

WASHINGTON, July 25- Civilian
Conservation Corps men in Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho will re-
ceive instruction in soil erosion con-
troll according to information re-
ceived at the office Of the Palouse
project of the Soil Conservation
service here today.
The information was received in
a bulletin from Robert Fechner,
director of Emergency Conserva-
ton Work, who lists the program to
reduce the huge damages caused
annually by soil wastage in the
United States as an important
phase of the Emergency Conserva-
ton Work program
Soil Conservation Service ECW
officials at Pullman added the in
formation that an educational adj
wiser would be selected by u. S.
army officials IN charge, whose
duties will include the assignment
of ECW specialists in soil conserva-
ton work to the CCC classes. If
necessary, the educational adviser
may solicit outside aid for educa-
tional purposes or entertainment.
Prepare Courses
Outlines of study, prepared by the
office of education and the soil
conservation service, have been
submitted to the war department
which is responsible for the admin
istration of the general educational
program Instruction will be super
vised for the most part by the ed
ucational advisers in the camps
Wherever possible, classes will be
conducted by erosion control spec
ialists regularly attached to the
demonstration projects of the SER
vice.
''The prime purpose of the courses
is to give enrollees rudimentary
working knowledge of erosion con-
troll technique" H. H. Bennett, CHIEF
of the Soil Conservation Service
said today in commenting upon the
program. mo attempt will be made
to produce specialists within the
few months the lessons will be Of
fered Many of these boys will re-
turn to farm homes after their en-
rollment expires This training will
give them a foundation for erosion
control work to conserve the soil
on their own land. Furthermore
many of them will be sufficiently
interested to carry on their study
of the technique of soil conserva-
ton which, unfortunately, is some
thing all too few understand"
Two Units
The courses will be set up in two
units of twelve weekly lessons each
the first unit being chiefly orienta
ton, the second, specialization. II
the demand warrants additional
studies, the service will be prepared
to offer further specialized units in
soils, agronomy, agricultural engin-
eering and forestry"
College trained courses, whereby
college graduates or eX-students are
given both classroom and practical
instruction in erosion control, have
been carried on by the soil conser-
walton service for more than a year
in connection with it's demonstra-
ton projects, Mr.. Bennett added.
Many graduates of these courses
are now ava11able for positions
under the expanded program of the
service.

Metal or Wood Best IN Cabins?
Ne,u Superliner to Make Test
Tries Both-Line Officials
Will Watch Public's Reaction as
Well as Wearing Qualities.

HAVRE, March 2-When the new
superliner Normandie, largest float
ing unit in the world, clears this port
ON her maiden voyage to the United
States next May. she will be equipped
with II metallic cabins, which will
enter upon a protracted but entirely
friendly competition with the great
number of other cabins whose inte-
riors and fittings are largely built
of rare and beautiful woods, to find
out which in the course of time best
cndures the wear and tear of travel
and gives the best satisfaction to
passengers and ship owners alike.
Some experts contend flreproofed
woods of finest texture and most
beautiful natural design serve best
in constructing and furnishing demi-
luxe cabins because they are more
pleasing to the eye, stand surface
wear the longest while showing fewest
abrasions, and are by all means the
most economical for the steamship
company which must keep them in
repair. Other experts have pointed
out that metal Is stronger, permitting
of lighter construction, can be beauti-
fed even as wood, and will last the
longest
