CANADIAN BOYS
 GUARD FORESTS
l3,OOO School Children Play Part in Protecting
 Lands From Fire

Montreal (UP) Scattered throughout the wooded areas of the Dominion, 13.000 school chill dren are playing an important part in protecting Canada's forest wealth from one of its greatest dangers-fire.
 Carefully selected and continu- ously encouraged in their duties as conservators and students of conservation, the youths are a nu- cleus of a coming army of boys lending a hand to safeguard for ests and wild life.
 The boys are known as Junior forest wardens." They are being organized into patrols by the Ca- nadian Forestry Association as part of widespread campaign to arouse public interest in pro- tecting one of the country's most important sources of natural wealth.
 There are 4.000 junior forest wardens in British Columbia alone. In Eastern Canada there are 2.000. Nearly 5000 schools are working in active cooperation with the as- sociation.
 The duties of the youths are to patrol the forests in their spare time and report all fires and dese- cration of woods. The work is done voluntarily.

State Capitol, Hartford, March d.-Rev Dr James E. Gregg, pastor of the First Congregational church of Waterbury, appeared before the judiciary committee here yester- day afternoon in support of the bill calling for the establishment of a jail farm in Glastonbury. He attacked the county jail system, calling the jail schools of crime Overwhelming support was given the bill at the hearing. John H. Goss of the Scovill Manufacturing company, Waterbury, was mem Der of the committee which pro- posed the establishment of com munity farm on which males 16 years of age or over convicted of crimes could be confined.
 Jail Farm System
 Senator John c. Blacka1l of Hartford introduced the bill. Pro- lessor Jerome Davis of Yale. chair man of the executive jail study commission, declared that the county jail system must go. He said that U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings favored the plan to establish community farm and Senator Blackall told the committee that whether the mem- bers liked the plan or not they

were eventually coming to the jaL farm system. Rabbi Abraham J Feldman of Hartford, John J Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, Dean Charles E. Clarke of Yale law school and Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge" port also spoke in favor of the plan.
 Senator John Lynch of West Ha' ven, whose brother Ia . New Ha" ven county commissioner, and Rep- resentative John $. Thornhill, a Fairfield county commissioner, de- tended the county jail system. Ex- Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven said that he doubted If the $9O,OO0 appropriation called for in the Blackall bill would be suffi- cient to take care of the. work or setting up the farm. He estimated that about $1,500,00O would be needed.
 Warden Charles Reed of the state prison at Wethersfield was present at the hearing but he did not take any side in the debate. He merely spoke of the necessity of eliminating idleness among jail in. mates.
 Compulsory Insurance
 Attorney Patrick Healey of Wa. terbury, representing the taxicab owners of Connecticut and the Con. necticut Motorstage association, appeared before the motor vehicles committee and vigorously support ed passage of bills calling for com- pulsory auto insurance. One of the bills was introduced by Sena- tor George T. Culhane of Water bury. Another of the same na- ture was introduced by Represen. tative Eugene Lamphier of Wa. tertown. A. w Spaulding, repre- senting the state grange, declared that compulsory insurance would impose a hardship on many per. sons earning small wages. R. E. Hall of the Aetna Casualty In- surance company said he did not believe there was great demand for compulsory insurance and dfcon- tended that such insurance would not stop accidents. The opposi- tino to compulsory insurance was overwhelming.
 Retirement Fund
 Following a brief hearing the committee on education voted d favorable report on Senator Joseph H. Lawlor's measure permitting teachers employed in the schools prior to June 30, 1917, to join the teachers retirement fund. They must join before June 30, 1886. They must also pay up all back dues from 1917, plus interest. They are given until 1945 to pay up the back dues. In other words, the payments will be in installments. The bill must now go to the ap- propriations committee for add:- tional state funds to match tho funds paid by teachers who would come into the retirement system under the provisions of the Lawlor bill.

Most Significant

Event more significant than the Davis action against Frank and Howe is the resignation ow Assist ant Administrator Victor A. Christ gau after an effort of repression and suppression by Davis which has appalled, many AAA subordi- those who loved Wallace.
 Christgau quit In disgust because he felt farmers and consumers were being delivered to food pro- cessors.
 He resented attempts to make Wallace, his hero, a rubber stamp by the device of forcing consumer and legal sections into unanimous approval of marketing agreements which would leave Wallace no choice but to sign.
 He protested that unfair prices to consumers meant decreased con- sumption of farm products. and that AAA's best men had been fired in the midst of a crisis.

No Farm Background

HAAS high command has tried to picture Christgau's resignation as quite voluntary. Presumably be- ceause 1t can't be said fhim, as it was of Frank and Howe, that he has no farm background" Christ gau still lives on the Minnesota farm on which he was born.
 Last summer, as acting adminis- trator in absence of Davis, he took command of the government's s $525. 100000 effort against the drouth--and there were loud cheers over the job he did.
 But it was Christgau who formu- lated the "new" AAA milk policy, after the first one--fixing milk prices to consumers, dictated by the milk trust"-had failed.
 His policy meant that farmers would be guaranteed a fair price for their milk, but that milk deal CTS must compete for business without guarantee of comfortably high prices to consumers.
 The Inside Story
 
 Tho story subsequently, is typi- cal of what has happened to AAA. During the depression, farmers lost money. Food distributors, who continued to make huge profits at both farmer and consumer expense, and whose ranks were swelled by the attractiveness of the game, with the effect that distribution be- came more incompetent, wasteful, and expensive. insisted on holding the profit ratio while AAA boosted farm prices.
 In the case of milk. distributors embraced willing leaders of farm co-operatives. They would back the farmers for another half-cent a quart and they'd get together for a tail price boost of a cent quart. ,Christgau, Frank, and Howe boldly fought that sort of thing. So they're out.
