the soil is rich in iodine, nearly all
vegetables contain iodine.S Those
food substances which are likely
to contain the most iodine are sea-

Whipped Into Line

In the closing excitement we could not find out if the Lonergan-Barkley com promise pollution bill was passed. IL passed the Senate last week without record vote and following two-hour debate. After that it was lost to our ken. It was scheduled to go to the House TOT conferences and White House approval was indicated. The compromise bill allowed the federal government to prose- cute offenders who refused to cooperate in a stream-pollution program in the next three years.
 If only that the ultimate passage Of the bill would represent feather in the hat of the senior senator from Connectl- cut who has labored long and faithfully in the interests of anti-pollution leglsla- tion, we would like to have seen or would feel secure in the knowledge now that the bill had passed and awaited the Pres1- dents signature. But there is more to 1t than all that. It would be the first for ward step taken by the federal govern ment in good many years with regard to stream pollution.
 There were many complaints about the federal government policing cities, lndl- Wduals or corporations, but 1t can be pointed out that in the next three years every effort will be made by the Public Health Service to make available to states, municipalities and private indus try loans and grants for stream purifica- aon purposes. Only those who persist in remaining offenders in the creation of a public nuisance would be prosecuted at the end of the three-year period.

available to the general public because those visiting it had to trespass on pri- vate property. Pressure was eventually brought to force the state to do some thing about making the beach available. Every legislative session had something to do with Sherwood Island Park, but it remained for the 1887 body to play fairy godmother. ~
 There are now left on the island itself only a few tracts of land privately owned One is large estate; the other IS a realty company's holdings. Eventually both will be taken up by the state. In a recent news item, though, Secretary A. M. Turner of the State Park and Forest Commission was quoted as saying that the appropriation now available isn't enough to buy all the private property left on the island. We can't believe that this would mean that $485, ,000 isn't going to be enough for one state park. We knew Fairfield County was going to have G fifteen-million dollar parkway, but not a n1illion-dollar park.

Attorney General Edward Daly has won merited praise from Governor Will bur L. Cross due to his work on the New England flood compact. Attorney General Daly was active in fighting for the pact both here in the state and also at Wash ington where he spent much time in the closing days of Congress in an effort to get leaders to agree to push through the pact. "The attorney general did great job here and in Washington" said the governor. However, Congress has ad- journed and our four-state flood compact has not been approved. Now if 1888 brings a nice flood congressman will have some thing to worry about.

The Park Expands

History is being written for Sherwood Island State Park these days. The State Park and Forest Commission is acquiring bit by bit the land necessary for the future development and protection of this seaside park in Fairfield County. Since the 1887 Legislature adjourned and made available for the commission almost halt a million dollars to develop Sherwood Island Park about $90, ,000 has been spent This enabled the commission to secure all of the land that was used year ago and which would have been lost through expiration of lease or option had not funds been provided this spring.
 We don't need to go back into the his. tory of Sherwood Island State Park other than to say 1t was the first site acquired cy the state for park purposes end about khe last to get sufficient aid to. Make it of Iny value to the public The seashore site obtained back around 1914 was never

More Reading-Good and Bad

Dr. Clarence Stone, reading specialist at the University of California, is dis turbed because good literature is neglect ed today. He finds that Nick Carter and Dick Merriwell have pretty well passed out of the picture, but even more ob- jectionable heroes have taken their places. Anyone studying the display of maga- zines at the typical corner drug store and observing the sales will be impressed with the fact that the reading of many adults is of an undesirable type" he says.
 There's no doubt about 1t. But he needn't worry either about literature or people. If there are more people reading rubbish today, it is probably because there are more people reading. Librarians tell us that patrons of public libraries are in- creasing in number and their choice of books is improving
