Although Bridgeport was reported TO
Senator Augustine Lonergan as the ideai
Connecticut city for subsistence home
stead project Waterbury will very likely
be included among the several communl-
ties where this Roosevelt administrator ion
scheme is tried out. The industrial lie
of bridgeport recommends it highly as an
experimental center, so reports John A.
Donovan, field agent of the Rural Reset.
Element Administration, the latest OF the
government bureaus to guide us out OF the
depression. We don't see why Waterbury
should have to be behind Bridgeport ,,, IN
this respect. The idea behind the nome
stead project is part-time factory work,
part-time farming. The latter would not
be of a commercial nature, but purely as
a means of supplying subsistence for the
part-time factory worker who can adapt
himself to such life. Most homesteaders
today are trained along these lines with
out any government aid. Supplying SEED,
fertilizer, tools, etc., would help many
man keep his own table covered with the
fruits of his after-work labors.

Do birds nave 4 language?

O. DO birds have language?
A. Flguratlvely they have.
They can express anger, warming,
delight, pain, and counting. One Of
the outstanding differences be-
tween man and the lower animals
is that man possesses the ability TO
articulate and form phonetic
sounds, and in that sense birds
have no language.

This isn't SO good. They say that where
the first shelter-belt trees were planted
out in the Dakotas and other western
states the young trees are in constant
danger. You'd never guess what en-
dangers them, unless perchance you were
a native of those regions and knew conal-
tions as they exist. It's jackraboits. Inc

moved before the trees are all killed.

Vanishing Americans

on the whole the natives seem

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 8.-"The course of true love never did run smooth" and the movies do little enough to help it along.
 Contracts and production sched- ules snatch brides from their bride grooms and rush them across the continent, to go to work in reel TO- mances that cannot wait for real TO- manees.
 That is what happened to Peggy Conklin, anyway, and it happens all the time when movie players marry men who work in the east. Of course it is to be assumed that when movie people marry they expect their hon. eymoons to be cut short.
 MARRIED SEVEN WEEKS
 Peggy was finishing up work on One Way Ticket" the other day, and even in the midst of the final scenes was making preparations to take a plane east the next morning.
 We've been married seven weeks today" she said, and I've seen my husband only two weeks in that time. and then I'll be due back for anoth- CT picture in two more weeks Her husband. James Thompson, is New York broker who she met and married while she was enjoying the lcng run with Leslie Howard in .'The Petrified Forest on Broad way.
 When the play becomes picture, Betty Davis will have the role Peggy, enacted on the stage. But Peggy, one of the more delightful regular commuters between Hollywood and Broadway, has promising screen future nevertheless. She is. in fact, leading candidate for the feminine lead opposite Gary Cooper in the next Frank Capra production. This would call her back even if she were not under contract to Producer Wal ter Wanger, who first used her in The President Vanishes."
 LIKES HOME" BETTER
 Peggy, chatting on the set that if nal day of production on her second film, revealed increasing interest in pictures. Aside from liking home" better and not liking Hollywood's more or less practicable climate. she likes pictures. Home" is in New York. When she is in Hollywood she lives with Constance Cummings, her best friend, or with Constance's mother.
 I'm learning more about pictures" she said, but know I have lot to learn yet. It's disillusioning just watching yourself on the screen. I discover I have a habit of screwing up my face when I talk and not laughing correctly for photographic purposes. Things like that don't matter on the stage, but have to watch them for pictures. Camera angles? No, I don't worry about them-If did, I'd give up the ghost right away"

FROZEN CRUDE OIL SOLUTION
HEATING PROBLEM AT BARROW

News of a novel heating fuel was
received at Juneau recently in a
telegram by Charles w. Hawkes.
worth, head of the bureau of Indian
affairs, from Frank Daugherty,
school teacher at Point Barrow.
Daugherty requested that he be
allowed to use the frozen" crude
oil found just east of Barrow in
heating the government school. He
reported that Charles D. Brewer
had used the oil all winter and
found it satisfactory.
The oil is found in a solid lake
on the surface of the ground, ac-
cording to Hawkesworth, and ma
tives cut it up in blocks for use in
their stoves.
Since Eskimos moved from igloos
into frame houses the old heating
system by means of seal and whale
oil has proved unsatisfactory, and
heating has been a problem. The
discovery of the crude oil lake was
a boon to the residents of the far
north.
The area surrounding Barrow is
naval petroleum reserve.

Gently started something. The OBJ
ject exhibited was a potato, fine
large specimen grown by one of its
subscribers and put into public
view as an example of what the
town had to offer.
The proud potato stayed in the
window and attracted considerable
attention for some time. Then one
day Frank Hoffman, deputy United
States marshal, mulled over the
idea and invaded the federal garden
to bring out several larger 'spuds."
He offered them for display at
the Times Each weighed a little
better than y pounds. So they had
their day.
Next, Walter Pollard, who has a
ranch a short distance out of town,
brought in some samples. Since they
weighed better than two pounds
each they were kings for a day"
But only until Mrs. Eddie Meier,
who has a back lot garden in the
town, could start her harvest. She
brought in a specimen that eclipsed
all others, weighing 3 pounds and

PHEAsANTs TO BE STOCKED
IN VALLEY NEAR KETCHIKAN

A program of stocking Ward cove
valley with Chinese pheasants is
being sponsored at Ketchikan by the
Alaska Sportsmen's association,
which is soliciting funds for the
undertaking
The plan is to place the birds in
the valley where, with the consent
and cooperation of the forest ser
vice, they will be cared for by the
CCC crew which is located there
over winter. Similar attempts to
plant the game birds have been sue
cessful at Sitka and Skagway.
Three years ago 25 birds were
liberated at Sitka by private indi
viduals A tovey which was liberat-
ed last year at skagway was re
Gently observed to have increased
this season, according to E. NJ. God
dard, former game warden who is
active in the new Ketchikan stock
ing program.
Birds to be Protected
The birds are protected from
hunters by law and the idea at
Ketchikan is to build up a stock in
Ward cove valley, as well as at
other places if it proves possible,
with the intention of opening them
up to hunting in years to come if
they prosper sufficiently.
Purchasing them from a private
breeder in Seattle, the birds can be
landed at Ketchikan for about $3.50
apiece, Mr.. Goddard states. The
number to be used in the trial will
be determined by the amount of
money raised for the project A por-
ton of the fund will have to be
used in purchasing winter feed for
them.
Protection and care will be given
by members of the CCC camp who
are employed in the road building
program in the valley this winter.
The drive for funds will be car
ried on during the next ten days,
following which the order for the
birds will be placed. They are to
be delivered before the end of Oc-
tober in order to allow them
chance to acclimate themselves as
much as possible before winter.
