polish- American leaders in Ameri- can life, in an effort to keep alive Polish cultural influences among the great number of Poles in the United States, are aurging as an initial step that Polish be taught in high schools with large Polish- American attendances.
 Prominent among Polish-Ameri- cans who see the plan as distinct aid to Americanization in Stephen P. Mizwa, director of the Kosciuszko Foundation.
 'sThere is no danger that young Americans of Polish ancesary will become less patriotic, less valuable Americans if they learn the language of their ancestors and become better acAuainted with the culture and traditions of their racial stock" he pointed out recently. Their birth, their environment, their education and everything American will take care of their Arnericanism. But there is every danger that they will be shallow and hollow Ameri- cans unless the new does not rest sclidIy on the old. This is be- ccmiag recognized, after a rectic process of superficial Americaniza- fion of immigrant groups (now rap- Idly disappearing), by educators, So- cial workers and other more far- siRhted old-stock Americana"
 Most of the Polish immigrants to America, pr. Mizwa pointed out, have been recruited chiefly from peasant and artisan classes and while frugal. honest and industrious, were nevertheless culturaIly under privileged. As @ result, the older immigrants have been unable to nahs on to the newer generations the cultural values of their Polish heritage: unable to acquaint their Annerican-b children with the hAckgrounds necessary to counteract q feeling of iriferiority in compari- son with older immigrant stocks.
 AS school authoriteis recognize the value of the teaching of Polish fo American youth of Polish descent. the value of the pupil as future ciilzen will be potentially increased as he realizes through access to his ancestral country's cultural treasures is contributions to world culture in general and American life in par tleular, Df. Mizwa believes. Within the past few years, according to pr. MizNa, about twenty American high achnuls have introduced polish as an elective modern language with full credit and thousands of studAnts, chiefly of POlIsh extraction, are NtndyinR it. Among the high fchooIs are those in Detroit and Hams lranack. Michigan; West Aliis. Cud- chs and MIlNaukee, Wis. and sev-

 Health Officials
State Fairs Prove Advertising Medium For Interest," ing, Educational Exhibits-.Wolcott Fair on Schedule

Although many less thousands can be reached with public health information through the medium of exhibits at the annual Fall fairs than was the case before the larger fairs extending several days were discontinued. the State Department of Health is nevertheless continuing It's policy of sending It's midway tent to several of these autumn festivals, 1t announced in its weekly bulletin today.
 This health exhibit has already been seen at the North Stonington Fanr and the Cannon Grange Fair, Caodale, The schedule calls for further exhibits at the Woodstock Wolcott, Guiiford ad Danbury Fairs At Danbury the display will be l limited to a ten by twenty foot space in the general educational tent.

 This years activities include the weighing and measuring of chil- dren, conferences with parents, dis tribution of leaflets, and the show. ing of moving pictures on healtt subjects. On certain days dental hy. gienists will be present to advise mothers about the care of childrens teeth and to demonstrate among the younger children dental pro. phylaxis. In addition dental exhi' bit has been installed to show th' relation to dental health of proper cleansing and right food.

 Although little is known of wave lengths above l20 rnegacycles, the Radio Manufacturers Association has requested the reservation of all channels above that frequency for possible future developments in vis- uai broadcasting.
 Another problem confronting otti- cials of the radio industry is that of providing entertainment which Will compensate the public for its iil- vestnient in television receivers.
 Warns Against Optimism
 "providing hit shows 365 nights a year will be difficult when you consider that the motion picture ii1- dustry is able to turn out no more than 70 or 50 first rate productions in that period and they spend tre- mendous sums for those," a spokes"' man said.
 The present images-less than 5 QY ~ AtCAtCS-aAS wv SssAsEss many mediums of expression. Close- ups of speakers, singers, comedians and similar entertainers are excel- lent, but present television broad" casts of motion pictures are unsat- isfactory because scenes photo. eraphed at Q distance are too small to be clear and distinct.
 This obstacle probably will DC eliminated, at least in part, by ex- periments now under way for en- iarging the image, but the sport fans mental picture of sitting in an arm chair by the fire to watch football game apparently is . long way in the future.

 one of the important problems in tue state at the present time is to interpret to the public the need for the premartiai blood test. This has been outlined and presented in a black and white panel which has led to many discussions on thii subject.

a constitutional convention. The re-
suits were 27,550 for the convention
and 1854 against the convention, the
western counties voting for and the
eastern counties against the cali.

maintenance of our highway system.
g. The definite reason was never
given but it was officially suggested

proprietary government in favor of
the Crown. He was removed by the
proprietors in July 1925, after having
served one and one-half years as gov

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

July Is, OIL A. D.-Swithin. late
bishop of Winchester (England, was
translated G. e., conveyed from earth
to heaven) with great ceremony Ever
since July Is has been st. Swithins
Day, although he was not canonized,
and there is an adage that as it
rains or is fair on Swithin's Day,
there will be continuous wet or dry
weather for the 40 days ensuing.
Origin of the superstition lies in
the tradition that Swithin made a dy-
ing request that he be buried in
pathway where his grave might be
trod by passerby. Instead the body
was placed in a tomb. A storm and
rains followed that lasted 40 days,
and this was interpreted as an indi-
cation of divine anger at the attempt
to contravene Swithin's wishes.
July Is, 1099-what is known as the
first Crusade ended with Jerusalem's
capture, after seige of five weeks,
by an army of 100000 from many

a kingly crown, became instead DE
fender of the Holy Sepulchre.
