 Directed particularly against programs of the mystery type, a resolution passed recently by the Hartford County Parent-Teacher association, representing a mem- bership of 1000, has been sent to the Connecticut Congress of Par ents and Teachers and to the large broadcasting companies. The resolutions are as follows:
 "Whereas, we consider that many of the so-called supper time programs for children, sponsored by various compa- nies for advertising purposes, have a narrowing, meIodra- matic quality which is detri- mental to a child's mental and physical health and
 "Whereas, many parents have entered with us their protest of programs such as the following: 'Og, Son of Fire, 'Skippy', The Shadow, Jack Armstrong, and Little Orphan Annie, therefore,
 Resolved, That is it the sense of this meeting that steps be taken to have such programs as these replaced with programs which are more suitable to children and of greater literary value, there- fore,
 Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be presented to the Columbia and National broadcasting companies and that these companies be urged to take action in producing peter type of children's pro- grams, using material which shall give children a better idea of good diction and which shall avoid extreme emotional ism:
 Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent to thet Connecticut Congress of Parents and Teachers with a suggestion that after study of this situation they shall be passed on to other Parent Teacher associations in order that this movement for the benefit of all children through out the country may. be wide spread"
 Mrs Elmer E. Wilson, president of the Waterbury conncil, said thnt up to the present time local coun- ell members had heard nothing oi the proposal. She said 1t was pos- sible the matter might be brought up at the New Haven county council session to be held March 20.

a Tn New Hampshire, says the Christian Science Monitor. the mention of the BOscawen stamp Is like the shout of gold to a sourdough. To appreciate what the name BOscaWen means to collectors, one must delve a bit into history. Bos- cawen, village situated be- tween Concord and Franklin, with just a few hundred in- habitants, issued stamp be- fore there was q stamp. This seeming paradox is explained thus. BOscawen isued' a prOyi- sionaI stamp between 1845 and lS47, and the first official Uni- ted States postage stamp did not appear until the latter part of 1S47.

 The Union of Swiss Phila- -telic societies has issued a warning that group of Swiss dealers has had private re- prints made on large scale of the pictorial Abyssinian stamps of 1919, the original issue of which was printed in Switzerland. It is stated that the reprints amount to about six million copies, and include about 100000 complete sets. The differences between the originals and the reprints are very slight.
 Both the S5c green, or the Mercury type and the new zoe Olive-black, showing the por- trait of Leopold HI have ap- pcared in Belgium, with the winged Overprint In carinine for official use. Two new yaI- ues of the pOstage.due type have also been received, namely, the 35c green and Fr, 40, gray.
 Designs of all the current Egyptian stamps will be modi- fled shortly to conform with a decision of the Universal Post al Union that all postage stamps must bear the word ''postage" or its equivalent. The postal administration has decided to put the words "Postes Egyptiennes" fin the place of the value expressed in words. Henceforth the value will appear in figures only, with the abbreviation, 'mill", for milliemes and "L.E." for the Egyptian pound.
 The, Rac0czi c0mmcmOra. tivcs will appear in Hungary early in April. The design Is to consist of a portrait of Racocxi by Adam Mnny0lki, and the stamps will resemble in style the Patrons Hungariae issue of 1882. Values are to include the 10, 16, 20, S2 and 40 filler.

The subsequent rarity and historical importance of this stamp has driven it's value up to $1,50O. Boscawen recently made the Philatelic Associa- ton a present of two of the rare Boscawen Postmaster's stamp.

Fishing season is here again, bring

fishermen into our foreSted area. also
comes the hazardous fire period in the
forests. After the snow is gone and
before the season of 1884 shows that
the sportsmen are responsible for the
largest number of fires. The sports
man class should be on the bottom Of
the list, as they should be very much
interested in the prevention of fires for
the protection of game and fish. Sec
ond on the list are the settlers who have
to their credit the greatest amount OF
damage done, the greatest area burnt
over, with the highest costs for fire
fighting.
The majority of fires are caused by
careleSSneSs. If all were more careful
in extinguiShing camp fires, cigarettes
and brush burnings, there would be
fewer fires. An appeal for everyone's
cooperation this coming season is made
With the hazardous condition of the
