"A Reindeer Roundup Near Arctic Circle Will
 Prove Value of Drive Over Top of the World

hours is nothing unusual. So the herders must be prepared for anything weather-wise, wearing water tight sealskin "mulaks" on their feet, and coats of the same material.
 Giants Wolves Attack
 During the winter months it is simple but no less rigorous. Day. light hours are short, and the main thing is the nightly wolf patrol" on Lapland skis. For tho giant Arctic wolves attack only by darkness and may slaughter as many as 50 reindeer in single night.
 Far from civilization, these herders live a life that is primi- tive and dough. But at the rate the reindeer herd is multiplying, it will not be long before a de- pendable source of food will be assured to the north Canadian Es- kimos,a people that is the life- blood of commerce in the far north. The problem then will b e to prevent wholesale slaughter of the precious herds by encroaching white men.
 Andy Bahr's heroic four-year trek across the northern tundras with his reindeer has become 2 saga of the northland. This sum- mer's "rodeo" is his tribute.

STATE TAXPAYERS
 GIVE $75,OOO,OOO
Golfers of Federal Treas ury Greatly Increased
 By Conn. Money

Taxpayers of the state paid ap- proximately $75,0oo,0OO into the cof- fers of the federal treasury during the fiscal year just ended, accord ing to preliminary figures released Thursday by Thomas s. Smith, col- lector of internal revenue for Con- necticut.
 Total classified figures will not be available until later in the month when books of the depart ment are closed for the 12-month period. Topping all figures for the boom days of the late 20's, collec- tions for the past fiscal period rose towards the wartime record es- tablished in 1918 and the two suc- ceeding years and placed Connec- ticut among the leaders in collsc- tionS for the nation.
 Meanwhile, the bureau for Con- necticut turned its attention to a new fiscal period expected to pro- duce even greater Federal revenue. MT. Smith announced that at the beginning of the new period the bureau here has less disputed cases than ever before, with only 180 in the entire state, where the average has been 500 to TOO. This branch of the work is in charge of A. Don Bitgood, chief field deputy.
 Social Security
 Since Social Security taxes are becoming one of the principal sources of revenue, MT. Smith said Thursday that an intensive radio information service on these taxes will soon get underway under the direction of Assistant Collector Frank w. Kraemer.
 MT. Smith said also plans are being made for a statewide con- ference of Social Security officials, including representatives of his of- flee, and Social Security Board field offices and the state unemployment compensation division of the State Labor Department.
 Preliminary figures for June col- lections indicate an increase of about 100 per cent over those for the same period last year. Income taxes alone during the month amounted to more than $12,0O0, 900 while more than million and a quarter was collected in Social &c., curity taxes.

HOOVER ATTACKS
 PAROLE SYSTEM
G-Men Director Plays Re- lease of Criminals Who
 Repeat Acts

Our fifteen billion dollar crime bill is' largely due to abuses of the pa role system says J. Edgar Hoover, director of the G-Men, in a vigor- ous attack on our state system of releasing criminals who then com nit fresh crimes. He advocates that every state model its system after that of the federal parole board.
 ~Abuse of the parole system al- lows the worst criminals to run loose in contempt of the law they have outwitted," he states in his article sThe Menace In Parole in August Cosmopolitan. Put your finger biindly upon the map of the United States and you will be almost cer- tain to touch a section in which de- liant criminals, encouraged by lax prison discipline and corrupt or in- ept parole or pardon systems, have made society pay in blood and death for releasing them"
 Supporting his conviction that there should be fewer paroles, Hoov- er cites the case of one of Alabama $ f8fKSSt ClblCS WLiCIC blC CAiACA OA PO- lice estimates sixty per cent of his mems time is consumed in running down parole violators and that eighty five per cent of the crime in the city is committed by parolees.
 To remedy the situation, Hoover suggests freeing paroles from poli- ties and reorganizing state parole systems,
 Every state should gear its sys- tenn to a national standard which is perhaps best set today by the fed- eral parole board with its highly trained staff and close supervision of parolees after their selection by careful process" he goes on.
 we can never have honest, thor ough and impartial justice or law enforcement in America, so long as we have unfairness such as there is today in parole and until our penal systens comes from behind its cloud of disgrace"

PARADE TO OPEN
 BIG CELEBRATION
Final Plans Completed for Mount Carmel Feast
 Opening July Is

Naugatuck, July g. - Final prep arations are being made for the annual celebration of the local Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society. The celebration will be held on Thursday and Friday of next week, July 15 and 16.
 Joseph Nardello, member of the committee in charge, stresses the fact that the fireworks display is scheduled for Friday, July l6. Some people have the idea 1t will be on Saturday, July IT, but this is erron- eous, he stated.
 Last year the fireworks display was on Saturday because the orig inal date was on Sunday and 1t was felt advisable to have it Saturday last year.
 A parade will mark the opening of the celebration this year. There will be a band concert Thursday evening, it is expected.
 Thousands of visitors come tc Naugatuck each year to see this dis play and for this reason MT. Mar dello wishes the dates to be clearly understood. The majority will be here on next Friday and the com mittee expects to have its usual fine exhibition of fireworks then

Whittling Developed
 To Fine Art In N. E.
Pastime, However Suggested for Period of Relaxa-
 tiOn; New England AbOunds in Recreation Places

You can be as active as you please or as placid as you please in New England. You can cling by your f1ngernails to the side of a moun- tain or doze in the sand. That great aid to loafing-whittling-has been brought to its finest art in New England. A nice piece of soft pine from soap-box, a plain chair tilt ed back on the porch of the general store, and someone to talk to is about as fine way of soaking up fresh air and sunshine as there is. And it will teach you a lot about New England.
 But there are people who look upon the summer as the time to pack in long days at their favorite sport, after long winters famine. New England is the place for it.

Depression, OUer
 At Post Office

There's a mystery at the post office.
 For a number of years the mailing of picture postcards has been at a low level. It was back in the Purple Nineties" that those nifties of art-the fat woman in the large bathing suit, over size fish and the like were featured on postcards usually marked with, "X-wish you were here."
 This season, however, a veri- table flood of picture postcards, some of them of the earlier eX- aggerated variety, is keeping the post office staff puzzled.
 "Must be everyone's feeling light-hearted again." said one clerk. Depression is over. or something"

BY PHILIP A. NOvIKOFF

BY PHILIP A. NOVlKOFF NEA Service Special Correspondent. Winnipeg, Manitoba rodeo of the reindeer will be held late this summer, far up toward the Arc- 5 tic Circle.
 It will be a sort of concluding chapter to one. of the truly drama tic epics of the northland. There will be no gay costumes, no spec { tacular stunts at this rodeo. There will be no cheering galleries, no thrilled spectators. .
 This rodeo is in earnest, and 1t jistifies the heroism of Andy Bahr. He is the man who drove 5000 reindeer from Alaska to the Mackenzie delta where men were hungry, and the reindeer meant food, and life.
 Two thousand miles across the ton of North America, Bahr and his Lapps drove his herd, despite wolves and blizzards and treacher- ous ice. And four years later he delivered two-thirds of the reindeer alive. In one year Bahr was able to urge his herd forward only 90 miles.
 Rodeo Will Show
 It is classic of bravery and answering devotion. Was it all worth while?
 That is what this summers TO- deo is to show. For rodeo is a ! roundup, and this roundup is to colntthe reindeer come down from the herd Andy Bahr drove avross the tundras.
 Much like a cattle rodeo in the west, the reindeer will be driven into the large corral, Adjoining this will be several small pens where the deer will be driven in small punches to be counted. It will take a week or more.
 Then they will know whether Andy Bahr's feat was perma- nent achievement. Last summers checkup indicates that the herd has increased almost 100 per cent, from 2o0O to 38OO in l6 months It is expected that this summers count at the rodeo will number more than 5000 head.
 That will justify in full the heroism of Andy Bahr. For his drive was made to provide a per manent meat supply for the Eski- mos about the Richards Island area of the Mackenzie delta. And if the herd has become self-sus- taining and is increasing natural ly, it. means that his daring dogged project is crowned witf success.
 Workers and Meat
 Four Lapps have remained be- hind as herdsmen. aided by Eski. mos, who are learning from then the art of herding reindeer. Even tually the Eskimos are to bt taught what the Lapps have learned of reindeer from theil homeland, where the animals art both workers and meat for thc people.
 The cowboys" Lapps and Es- kimos, aided by shepherd dogs who are as expert with reindeer as with sheep, keep the herd closely throughout the summer 7 The ferder does not drive the deer, but keeps in front to pre-. vent them from stampeding.
