Heavy rains have ended the strawberry crop of New Haven County, according to the State Department of Agriculture. Hartford county's crop is threatened, too. All of which will bring sorrow into the hearts of real Connecticut residents who can detect the difference between 8 native and an imported berry and always insist on the former when 1t can be obtained. There is really nothing that can quite compare with nice luscious onnecticut-raised strawberry. A good many people don't realize how many strawberries are raised in this state. It's quite crop, comparing quite favorably with others in our native land. Fortu- nately for some of the others, though, the heavy rains recently did not damage them nor end their production. On the contrary they speeded 1t up, where dis aster had been feared from the prolonged drought.

breaking, slkln-pulverlzing battle. He took plenty and handed out more. The same goes for the Brown Bomber, the sen- sation of the fistic world in the last year. His rapid rise to stardom is certainly not ended by this abrupt halt, but we won- der if his future appearance in the ring will be marked by the assurance and skill that were so evidently his in putting away previous opponents. We hope this won't end his ring career, for one defeat cer- tainly doesn't down young man.

A Modern Message from Ancient Israel
BY BRUCE CAPTION

The prophets of ancient Israel quit prophesying e long time ago, and some of the things they in. weighed against-the treachery of Edom, the menace of Niheveh, the pride of Moab, and such-like-in- terest no one nowadays but anti- quarians and theologianS. M |.
 But the prophets themselves were men worth knowing, and their plea for an enlightened social con- science is as timely now as 1t ever was. Edith Hamilton gives us 6 readable summary of the men and their work in "The Prophets of 1s- raew Morton: $2.60). /
 Miss Hamilton points ? out that these tougr-sinewed old vtsionaTies Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Jeremiah, and the Test-taik to. us just aS d. rectiy as they did to the ancient 1sraelites. For they were the first and most eloquent of ell the seers who have perceived that man can remake the world in the image of justice and decency, if he will just begin with his Uwn individual self; the first to announce that what ought to be will be, if men will only set themselves to make 1t 50.
 They were not other worldly or preoccupied with Q withdrawn rnys- ticism. Their religion was an af- fair of the workaday world; as Miss Hamilton remarks, its work twas to create c world in which no one was oppressed" And that notion is cd worth listening to now as 1t was 2600 years ago.
 What I am trying to say is that these prophets, spiritually, are our contemporaries, and that Miss Ham, ilton has written an excellent book about the men and their message.

It doesn't pay to get mad when judge fines you in court and orders you to pay the clerk before leaving. An irate motor ist tried that in Hamden court one day last week, but Judge Bertrand B. Salz- man, who was presiding, saw the action and took action himself. The fined in- dividual had thrown part of his tax at the person of the clerk. He was called back by the judge, forced to remain to the end of the court session, and then was delivered a lecture on contempt of court. It pays to be respectful when you are dealing with the laW-at all times.

IN the jungle of Indo- China. near | the city of Angkor. rise the ruins of a magnificent temple which has been as much a mys- tery to scientists as have the peo- pie who built it and worshiped in it. It Is the Angkor- Wat, built, 1t is believed, about the beginning of the twelfth century, and standing today in resplendent si- lence, it's long, frescoed galleries and halls echoing only the foot steps of amazed tourists.
 Archeologists say this is one of the many temples that a strange tribe called Khmers built in Cam bodia, as this part of the Orient is termed, after they had invaded the country from India about 2000 years ago. The Angkor- Wat is considered the finest and grandest piece of Khmer work manship. You may see a picture of this temple on a stamp of two values. issued by Indo-China in 1922.

 Peters blond head poked up from the lake. Hello, Mrs. Hend. ersonl" he called. With Q few swift strokes he was ashore. I'm cutting this contest short right now,' he announced. "Ill dive from that tree - its higher than the top rung of the diving plat form"
 "Don't be c fool" Jack dose told him seriously. "1t's at least 10 feet higher"
 Peter answered him with Q glance slightly alcoholic in it's bravery. After all," he said, "it's my wedding day = and if I feel ike diving from 0 tree top I'm go- ing to do it!"
 No one considered, then, just what was happening = not even Helena. More with pride than with fear, she watched Peter climb recklessly, swiftly, to the topmost branch of the tall fir which stood my the shore of the lake. Almost before she had real- ized 1t, he had dived. She saw his body hurting, saw 1t strike the water and disappear beneath the surface.
 There was cheering laughter from the crowd. Then silence. Si- fence during which the surface of the lake sinoothed itself. Suddenly Helena knew that something had happened to Peter. She knew 1t even before Fain sutter said in Q queer voice, "There might be submerged stumps ct the bottom ."
