LEGAL AID GIVEN
 COLLEGE STUDENTS
Marital Troubles, Parking Tags, Copyrights Cared
 For at Boston University
Special to The DemocraD

NopcCIdl tU 1Hc UeIHOCTatD
 Boston, March 1O.-A two-year- old infant at Boston university has already come of age, for judging by the many demands made upon it by both students and professors, the legal aid bureau, branch of the university department of stu dent counseling, is already full f1edged. Started two years ago, in 1885, the bureau handled an average of two cases per week. Now three and four cases week Is the aver age, with attention centered on tort and contract actions. Service is sought on all kinds of problems, from domestic relations to minor traffic problems such as overtime parking while a student wrestles with a mid-year examination.
 Tamkin Directs
 Hayward Tamkin, graduate of the Boston university school of law in 1883, and a practicing lawyer in Boston, has directed the university legal aid bureau since its inception under the auspices of the depart ment which is headed by Prof. War ren T. Powell. MT. Tamkin, 8 re- serve commission lieutenant in the United States army, is also instruc- tor in the Boston Parliamentary Law school.
 We have numerous requests" MT. Tamkin said, in describing the work of the bureau. We do not prose- cute cases in court, but our primary function is to give advice. It is surprising how many students fancy themselves as inventors, and how many others want copyrights for papers that they have written. Be- sides patents and copyrights, we have received requests for informa- tion on legislation, especially for research work; change of names, absentee ballots, building regula- tions ill the city, laws governing correspondence courses, which, in- cidentally, Boston university does not have in its academic program; interpretation of legal aspects of the New Deal; marital troubles that sometimes neeQ q uCCle smoothing, and ill one case, what to do when a dog so far forgot himself as to bite someone.
 Exploitation Ends
 we have served every one of Boston university's l2 departments. and have even had many requests from the Sr' of Theology prob ably becay nile yet students in college, " these students are mature n married, and the majority lem are busy either with w ,4 with parishes, some- times ' oth, in addition to con- tinuing their theological studies. There used to be some exploitation of student help by employers, but that has practically disappeared now," MT. Tamkin concluded.

FIGHT RENEWED
 ON CORN BORER
Vegetable, Fruit Growers to Gather For War COurl=
 Gil in New Haven

Vegetable and fruit growers of four Connecticut counties plan to hold a day-long meeting at the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven on March 21. A program of interest to both groups includes talks by Nicely Turner, assistant en- tomologist,and M. F. Morgan, chief agronomist at the station. A con- mittee of staff members cooperating with county agents are making up the program.
 Tentative plans include: speaking sessions on orchard and vegetable garden soils and on methods to con- trol the European corn borer, begin ming at 10:30; luncheon at noon, and tour of the station depart ments during the afternoon.
 There will be demonstrations of such lines of work as testing fruit and vegetables for spray residue, analyzing fertilizer, chemical andy sis of soil samples, growing seedlings in sand and breeding vegetables for Connecticut. Time will be given for individual questions and discussion between growers and members of the staff. The object is to bring the problems of the growers directly to the experiment station workers and to bring the work of the station directly before the growers.

Junior Leagues ChiIdren's
 Entertainment

For the past few years one of the major activities in the Waterbury Junior League has been to provide a series of entertainment for chil- dren. They have tried to present good, wholesome programs which would be beneficial in amusement as well as educationally valuable. Last year and this we have affiliated our selves with an organization in New York City which is known as the Junior Programs, Inc. It is a non- profit making organization having for its express purpose, the procur- ing of suitable and attractive chil. dren'S entertainments. They are most particular and demanding in choosing their programs and there- fore we felt very strongly that we could be sure of the best when we signed up with them. The Junior League in turn does not try to make money on their series but is entirely interested in trying to see that any and every child is afforded the chance to enjoy as many of the programs as possible. The League has tried very hard to plan enter tainments which are unusual and varied.
 Indian Play
 In December they brought here an Indian play called, "The Reward Of The Sun God. It was perfectly de- lightful, with lovely scenery and costumes and was acted and staged by accomplished artists.
 The January production was the well known, "Pinocchio' ballet with Edwin StraWbridge, the inter- nationally famous dancer, taking the part of Pinocchio. Needless to say the performance was perfect in every way and we felt we were more than fortunate to be able to pro- cure such an excellent production.
