 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Isaiah 59:1, ?, 20!

 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 19, line 2 Love and Truth are not at war with Gods image and like ness. Man cannot exceed divine love, and so atone for himself. Even Christ cannot reconcile Truth to error, for Truth and error are irreconcilable. Jesus aided in recon cling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divine Principle of Jesus teachings, and this truer sense of Love redeems man from the law of matter. sin, and death by the law of Spirit the law of divine Love-"

station and also made a thorough survey of territory outside federal supervision.
 Examining elms in Fairfield county and in Old Lyme, the fed- eral scouts took 11.566 specimens from trees that seemed to have vis- ible symptoms of Dutch elm disease sending them to the laboratory at Moristown, New Jersey, for cul- ture. Of these only 75 contained graphium ulmi, the deadly disease fungus. Cases numbered 57 in 1884, which makes total of 132 in all for Connecticut. All of these trees have been removed. MT. Filley as- serted.
 On October 15 the federal force was cut to 150 and these men will spend the winter on elm sanita- tion-removing dead and dying trees to get rid of the elm bark beetles, carriers of the disease, that breed under dead bark.
 Although there is no quarantine restricting the movement of elms within this state, a federal quar- actine forbids shipment from Con- necticut, New Jersey and New York, to other states.
 What Connecticut Has Done in 1885
 As a precautionary measure the Experiment Station employed l2 men directed by MT. Philip Wallace to survey elms in state territory outside federal control during the summer. These men covered l4t towns of the state, in most cases repeating their survey three times at intervals to be sure that no dis easted trees escaped notice. They looked for visible symptoms oi Dutch elm disease, yellowing or dy- ing. terminal twigs, brown narkingi in the rings and under the bark oi sickly elms. They took cuttings from many suspicious looking trees, send. ing 285 specimens to the Botanica laboratory at the New Haven Ex- pertinent station for culture. Labor atory examination showed that mos of these trees were affected by othel elm troubles but none of them con- tained Graphiunl.
 While it is not safe to be too op timistic, Mir. Filley said that he ha no reason to believe at present tha the disease is established in town other than those in which 1t wa found last season. Public interes is keen, he pointed out. More thai 175 persons wrote or telephoned thu Experiment Station asking for ex animation of their elns and IS oth CT citizens sent specimens to the Ia boratory for examination. Approx imately 10000 circulars on the dis ease were distributed in the state.
 The survey of eln1s necessaril, stops as soon as leaves begin to turi yellow and drop. However, the stat plans a winter sanitation campaign to protect elIns and keep them il as healthy a condition as possible During September, 34l men wer employed under the ERA lookinl after elrns on public property in s Connecticut towns. These mel pruned 2,795 trees and removed i9 dead elrns in the 8 counties.

The outlook for the control of the Dutch elm disease in Connecti-
 cut is much more promising now than it was at this time last year,
 according to w. o. Filley, forester
 at the agricultural experiment sta-
 ton at New Haven. In making a
 report on the state and federal sur-
 veys of the past four months. he said that the total number of dis eased elrns in the state had reach- ed 132 and that none of these cases had been found outside the zones of infection established last year.
 Analyzing his statistics, MT. Filley said that this seasons cases were located in five towns in Fairfield county and in Old Lyme as follows Greenwich, 33; Stamford, 25; Da- rien, 6; Norwalk, 1; Westport, l; and Old Lyme, 4. Last year two cases were found in the town o1 Fairfield, but that area apparently escaped this season. On the other hand, Westport, which was exempt in 1884, now has one case. Last year single tree was found dis eased in Old Lyme and immediate ly a zone of infection was estab. lished in that area. Intensive search by federal scouts this summer dis. covered only four more cases anc there is yet no explanation of the outbreak of the disease in this sec. ton, 80 miles removed from the nearest case in Fairfield county, MT
 Filley stated. . All of the diseased trees were found between June and October by federal men who were working in the zones of infection, MT. Fil. ley stated. The crews consisted ol 37O w. P. A. men with 10 trained
 workers who operated under MT

various associations by investing in their shares in the same manner as local subscribers. As the government will invest an amount equal to three times the investment made by local subscribers, the associations are provided with sufficient funds to take care of home financing needs of their communities even at times when local funds may not be avail able for that purpose.
 Security.
 Loans are made on homes under security of first mortgages. Loans may be made in an amount up to 75 per cent of the appraised value of the property and may be made for a period of time not to exceed twenty years. The manner in which the loans are generally repaid is known as the direct reduction plan which provides for monthly pay ments which are accepted by the as- sociation in payment of interest due and of a part of the principal of the loan. Through this method the loan is gradually paid off in regular in- stallnients.
 Investment in Federal Savings and Loan association may be made by subscribing to its shares. In order to provide flexibility in the manner of investing so as to meet the re- quirements of diffenent classes oi investors, the association offers four types of shares; one for monthly savings plan; one for the occasion al investor; one for the investor who wishes to receive cash divi- dends as they are declared; and the fourth for the investor who wishes his dividends to remain in his ac- count for a specific period.

Do you remember the mas terful dance interpolations of Eleanor Powell, petite cinema star, in Broadway Melodies of 1936" which recently played here to capacity audiences?
 Everyone marveled at Miss Powell, who previous to that picture, was unheralded and just another dancer. Well, do you remember Miss Virginia Lee, niece of Julia Smith, State the- ater manager, who performed on the stage of that theater two years ago?
 Miss Lee is confronted with the same opportunities grasped by Miss Powell. Pretty, and still in her teens, the Boston, Mass, blonde, is seriously contemplat- ing accepting an offer from one of Broadway's most successful promoters to tour Europe very shortly as a dance soloist.
