Of the attractions in Alexandria.
WoodlaWn, present residence of
Secretary of War Woodring and Mrs

Proposes Bounty In State Drive Against Foxes

A note of regret in regard to tho prowlings of "the sly and grinning foxes, the lean and hun- gry foxes," and an interesting suggestion as to a means of elirn- mating them, are included in a letter released today by Coleman A. O'Loughlin, city dog warden.
 In a letter released to The Dem- ocrat today, this lover of hunting sagely observes that only about one out of every one hundred hunters looks for 8 fox. He sug- gests that the state pass @ law granting a reward for the head of each fox which can be produced, believing that 1t is high time hunters took 6 more active part in hindering the marauding of brother fox.
 The letter, in part, is as fol- lows:
 Beading a letter in a focal newspaper regarding a discussion in the state legislature about game wardens, wild life. etc., hit a responsive chord because I am very much interested in this sort of thing. One factor in the tn- terest of wild game which is al- ways of great importance to a per- son who hunts is the abundance of animals and birds to be hunted. In the state of Connecticut this amount of prey is very noticeable by its absence"
 The letter goes on to describe that one of the main reasons for this situation is the fox, and, strangely enough, the cat. ITO eliminate this serious and disappointing condition which is very displeasing to the hunter" the letter continues, "let me sug- gest that the state pass a law to pay @ bounty, @ nominal fee of about ten dollars, to cover every section of tho state. This pay- ment of ten dollars to each person who could bring in . fox head would tend to curb the damage done by this marauder and also to interest more men in the sport of hunting" Yoicks!

Reduction Inn Number
 Of Relief Cases May

Movement Designed to Reduce GOyernmetal Expenses By Transferring Workers to Community PayrOlls;
 Will Eliminate More UnderserYing Workers

lief in the re-classiflcation com- pleted last autumn are now in . more favorable AiHpncial straits, de- cided to start similar check-up.
 Elimination Seen
 Just what employees and how many In Waterbury will be affected by this investigation is e mystery at the present time. It is believed. however. that supervisors, foremen, timekeepery, etc, will be the first to be subjected to the probe. The possible elimination of these men is seen as move on the part of the WPA to have cities take the ma- jority of, them onto the city pay roll. This will further decrease the WPA expenses and further add to the city's.
 New Assignment
 It is also believed that the depart ment of welfare, as was the case during the latter part of the sum- mer of 1036, will be assigned to take over the actual business of re- checking the current financial con- dition of the local WPA employees. During the last investigation period many local workers were found to be no longer in need of work re- lief. The state WPA office Is of the opinion that the new investigation will bring to light many other cases of persons who really are in no need of work relief at the present time.
