clesiastical society of the Congrega- tional church held in the parish house. Glenn F. Noble was reelected treasurer and Frederick B. Rol- liYison was named collector; Her. bert Parker was chosen auditor and George Graham selected as clerk.
 A budget for the church was ap- proved after one of the longest meetings in many years. N. Hadley Cox was named to the gociety's coTn- mittee of three.
 Political Sensation
 Considerable interest is being shown in the first meeting of the board of warden and burgesses held Monday night. There were many interesting matters discussed at the session, and 1t produced the first real political sensation in some time.
 Some think that the republican burgesses made a smart move when they urged B1 increase for street department workers. They claim that if other employees of the town are to get more pay, the street department workers should also benefit.
 From the republican standpoint, 1t places Warden Sheridan and his aides in Q difficult situation as rec fusal on their part might result in alienation of one group of support CTS, yet the chances of the warden's keeping within the budget this fiscal year would certainly be consider ably less if the street department employees got such Q pay increase.
 It seems likely that republicans will press for action at future meet ings concerning this. The vote ct the meeting Monday was to delay such action indefinitely. Unless split develops in democratic ranks, however, there is little likelihood of the increase being granted, as the democrats with the warden hold the majority on the board.
 Supporters of Warden John J Sheridan claim he handled the situ- ation very cagily, not acceding tc the republicans wishes, yet not de- tinitely refusing the proposition.
 Claim Warden Right
 They point out that what the warden said is very true, if the in- crease is granted and Q deficit were to result, the republicans would be the first to attack the admin istration for such deficit. The warden explained ct the meet ing that where other departmental restorations were not getting pay increases, but merely restoration of reductions made in their pay sev- eral years ago, the cut in street department pay has already been restored.
 one prominent democrat said to- day, Tt is easy for the republicans to vote for measures requiring con- siderably increased expenses when Q democratic administration is in power"
 Although most street department workers had not asked for Q pay boost, they would not be human If they would not welcome such an increase.
 Attorneyship Action Forced
 It seems likely that republican action at the meeting Monday will force Q showdown on the borough atorneyship. It is probable that Attorney Martin E. Gormley will in- form the board officially within Q month that he is not Q resident of Naugatuck.
 If such Q situation occurs, 1t is not yet known just who would be nam cd. Atty. Henry Freeman and Atty, Thomas Weary arc two democratic possibilities. Atty. Freeman has had the advantage of more experience,

correct this impression as far as he himself, was concerned.
 Nygren Attitude
 Burgess Nygen was the only re- publican opposing increase in salary of the chief of police, and did not get support from his party col- leagues on that.
 Some predict that he will act on matters as he sees them, regard- less of whether his action is similar to that taken by his fellow repub- licans.
 Whether the nomination of Tracy Noble by republican burgesses as part-time assessor, which proved unsuccessful, will have further re- suits remains to be seen. MT. Noble, who retired as burgess this spring because he wished to get out of politics, was quite upset at the nomination, which apparently was not made with his consent. He was placed in the embarrassing position of apparently retiring from the non -paying office of burgess to get Q political job with Q salary att tached.
 There was a strong likelihood that democratic burgesses would have voted for MT. Noble, had they thought he really wanted the as- cessorship. MT. Noble as burgess gained the respect and friendship of several democratic burgesses. George Waite was reappointed as the part-tlme assessor when demo- crat burgesses and the warden vot- cd against Mir. Noble.
 However no matter what the out come of these points, there is a prospect of more lively meetings with Burgess Tangredi and Joseph Raytkwich apparently carrying the brunt of the attack.
 Burgess George Fellows, new democratic member of the board, showed he will be no passive spec tator at the sessions, freqeuntly criticizing republican burgesses who were rapping the democratic actions, and showing that he has Q good recollection of republican stands in the past.

Contending crop curtailment pro-
grams had "magnifled the disastrous
consequences of drought, scientists
for the Carnegie Institution yeSter-
day said Government guidance OF
soil use and conservation offers the
only solution of crucial national
problem.
In q study made public by the
Institution, DR.. Frederic E. Clements
of Washington and DR.. Ralph w.
CLANCY of the University Of California
surveyed climate and life in the Great
Plains over a period of 100000
years.
After challenging the belief that
great portion of the area is perma-
nently unsuited to farming, they said
man can conquer his environment by
constructive cooperation.
Risk in Curtailment.
Turning to Government activities,
the scientists asserted:
mo more dramatic test Of the risk
attending controlled production
through curtailment could be asked
than that afforded by the recent
drought period throughout the West.
Regardless of the question as to the
wisdom of such control, its conjunc-
ton with time Of extreme drought
magnified the disastrous consequences
and raised the gravest doubts as to
the soundness of such q detached
economic procedure"
Stressing the need for cooperative
effort along proper soil use and con-
servation lines, DR.. Clements and DR..
CLANCY added:
However desirable it may seem
that this and other social functions
make natural growth, 1t is evident
that the Nationwide experiment of
having the first steps directed by the
ice and division of grazing in their
various jurisdictions promises the only
adequate solution of this crucial prob
lem in social progress"
Failure to Meet Change.
They said also:
1.-The dilemma of our country to-
day, like that Of the world in general,
has been the failure to meet change
with change and to apply it to the
problems of readjustment with scien-
tific foresight rather than political
expediency."
Coordination Of conservation prac-
tices is necessary, the scientists as
serted, with each geographical region
organizing to adapt its practices to
the conditions prevailing there.
Times of stress provide the neces-
sary pressure and the agencies to
guide the response to it, they con-
tinued, land it now seems probable
that cooperation will be set forward
more in the present generation than
in the full century since the settlement
Of the West began"

GAME DIVISION
SEEKS BIRD DATA

Persons finding dead game
birds are urged to communicate
with their game warden in order
to assist the game and fish divis-
ion in its survey of mortality am
ong pheasants. Wardens will ship
birds in a good state of preser-
walton to the University Farm for
examination.
According to Gustav Swanson,
biologist for the division of game
and fish, there is evidence that
many deaths of game birds have
resulted from lack of cover and
protection from the elements as
well as from starvation.
! Swanson pointed out, however,
that adequate cover cannot be as
easily provided as food and we'll
fed bird is capable of withstand
ing severe weather conditions. He
emphasized that there is an ur-
gent need for continued feeding
in spite of the break in the cold
weather.
at is very important that the
birds enter the breeding season in
the best possible health" Mr..
Swanson said. "a weak and un-
dernourished condition is reflected
III smaller and weaker broods of
young.
"In the early spring food is
very difficult to find, even after
the snow has disappeared, So ar
tificial feeding should be contin-
ued for several weeks"
