Tricflinosis! Health Authorities Is- sue Warning to Preserve Health,
 Good Cheer.

A warning that six cases of tri- chinosis due to eating raw or un- dercooked pork have been found in the state is issued in the week ly bulletin of the State Dpartmnt of Halth. Such tragic occurrences which unnecessarily mar the holi- day cheer may be avoided if pre- cautions will be taken: CD to eat no raw meat, CD to cook all pork 35 minutes for each pound of meat, (3) to eat no pink pork. All pork even home raised" may car- " the trichina cyStS which if not destroyed by proper cooking may cause the serious sickness, tri- chinosis, to persons eating it.
 The hazard of trichinosis is in- creased at this time of year when special foods are prepared in cele- bration of the holidays. It is the custom of some, people to buy each year one or more pigs which are fattened for the festivities. The young pig may have trichina cysts in its muscles which if not destroyed by proper cooking will pjenetrate the intestinal wall. of the person who eats the under cooked pork and cause serious sick ness.
 A special warning states, 'Re- member the food you produce yourself can as easily be diseased as that coming from an unknown source" The feeling that pigs raised on the premises are bound to be healthy, clean animals that will furnish safe. healthful food is not true. The statement, But raised it myself is no guarantee of safety"

 a new map of Europe was drawn, Poland based its foreign policy upon that of France. In treaties signed in 1921 and 1925 Poland and France pledged each other aid in case they were attacked. In other words, Po- land became a French bastion in the East, part of the "iron ring" around Germany.
 FRENCH ARMS
 FRENCH MONEY
 France helped arm the Polish army and train it. French military advisers helped Poland when the BolShevik armies were almost at the doors of Warsaw. French money paid for the French engineers largely designed the Polish wonder port of Gdynia.
 But in 1884 the French had a sudden and sad surprise. Poland and Germany signed ten-year pact of non-aggression. The Poles were at great pains to assure the French that this in no way vitiated the Franco-Polish pact, but since that time the French have no longer counted on Poland. Their estimate was proved correct during the cri- sis of last September. When it looked like war between Germany and perhaps, Italy on one side and England, France and Czechoslo- vakia on the other, Poland kept coolly aloof. Poland also notified Russia it could not permit Russian troops to cross Polish territory to help the Czechs.
 And when England and France agreed to the carving up of Czech olslovakia, Poland, like Hungary, joined the vulture states and de- manded it's piece of the booty. It got not only the city of Teschen, but the valuable hinterland with great coal fields.
 BECK HAS
 A VISION
 So far the Beck policy had paid dividends. It took Poland farther away from France and brought it nearer to Germany. Then Beck had sudden vision. The eastern tongue of the old Czechoslovakia is called Ruthenia. It is inhabited by people who are of Ukranian blood. The new Czechoslovakia is giving both the Slovaks and the Ruthenians large measure of au- tonomy. CZechoSlovakia itself has become sort of vaSsal state of Germany. Hitler is planning series of great motor roads from Ger many right through the vassal state to the Ruthenian tip. That means he is preparing to realize his dream either the seizure of Ukraine ter ritory as part of Germany, or mak- ing it an independent state under German pressure.
 Beck tried to outsmart Hitler. He concocted plan with Hun gary whereby they should nip of that end of Ruthenia, thus mak- ing a common frontier between Poland and Hungary. This would block of Rumania from contact with Czechoslovakia. It would put a barrier between Germany and Russia, particularly the Ukraine.
 But Hitler blocked this. Beck was now genuinely frightened. With 100000 people of Ukraine blood in autonomous Ruythenia, Hitler has a lever with which to stir up trouble in Poland and Russia. Polish ter ritory contiguous to Ruthenia is largely inhabited by people of Ukrainian blood.
 Back in 1926 Pilsudski promised them autonomy. It has never been granted. The 6,0O0,000 Ukranians in Poland, who dwell in a territory one quarter the area of Poland, are de- manding autonomy with special Diet and territorial army made up of Ukranians; creation of a Uk- rainian university at Llow; and colonization, not of Poles, but of l

A new Waterbury landmark in the form of two huge broadcasting towers has been erected by the WATR Broadcasting company, op- orators of radio station WATR, The Voice of Waterbury. The steel transmitters of words, music and other sound vibrations that com prise broadcasting are located on Baldwin avenue, near Baldwin street and are visible from points throughout the city.
 At night the 180-foot high towers, capped with dozen impressive red Neon beacon lights, can be seen from a distance of 15 miles-or more. The two towering units form the most impressive landmark in the Brass City from standpoint of modernity and scientific interest.

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Christmas wrapping They say is easy, But when one tries stunts The package looks cheesey. Whereas the professionals Tie a tricky bow, Turn out artful do-upS Very much just so, Your own packages Look sort of forlorn, A bit on the lopside, Here and there a bit torn.
