Foxes bark from the crest of
 Rattlesnake and the fastness
 of old Cannon Hill almost every evening and the music brings
 back memories of MT. Hawkins, one-time head of the Hawkins Company and fox-hunter ex- traordinary. Fox hunting was Q pleasure and not . chore when the Hawkins hounds ran and an old dog fox lit out for the North Pole with the lanIxy hunter in pursuit. MT. Haw.
 kins hunted for sport and not for peIts; sometimes he was very successful and again the
 luck turned sour. A city sport came to town during one of the runs of ill luck, loaded his gun and killed . fox almost on the church lawn. He sc0ffed at the idea that fox hunting re- quired skill but the trapshop boys fixed his wagon. They
 wired a stuffed owl in am elm tree and the stranger burned four rounds of ammunition be- fore he sensed the joke. Even
 the Reverend Tom Butler
 laughed at him and, according to reports, the city sport never came back to Britain.

The New York state health insur- ance organization is headed by the same officers who have been in charge of the hospital plan. It has been organized first at Utica, but will soon be spread to other parts of the state. Sl M
 Connecticut Statute
 The Connecticut statute allows seven or more persons to form non- profit making corporation for of- fering medical service. A number of established groups were given authorization to form such an or- ganization, one of them being the New Haven County Medical Asso- citation.
 Under the New York plan, sub scriber pays $l6.80 8 year, and is entitled to medical care in the amount of $225. For payment of an additional $13.80, medical care will be provided for his wife and de- pendent children.
 Maximum Is SS25
 The maximum care to be given a subscriber and one dependent is $325, and to a subscriber and two or more dependents $425. The sub scriber may select any doctor he chooses. The fees to be charged by the doctors to the medical service corporation are all fixed in advance, a lengthy list of fees for hundreds of services having been drawn up.
 The subscriber must pay the first $6 of his medical bills in any single year. This is to discourage hypo- chondriacs, who, after becoming members, might otherwise decide to visit the doctor every few days.
 600 Doctors Affiliated
 As the plan begins operation in Utica, there are 600 doctors affiliated with 1t. They will receive from the corporation fees 50 per cent higher than non- enrolled doctors. This is done because the enrolled doctors have agreed that in case of financial difficulties they will accept pro- rated settlements.
 The Connecticut statute provides that the rates to be charged by any medical service corporation shall be approved b ythe state insurance commissioner, who Is also given gen. eral supervisory powers over any such organizations that may be formed.

BRICK WORKERS TO
 GET EXEMPTIONS

Washigtonn, Nov. 25.-(UP).-The wage-hour administration today granted seasonal exemption from tf.s huose provisions of the fair labor standards act for brick man. ufacturing in Maine. Vermont and New Hampshire.
 Under the ruling, employees en- gagged in the manufacture of bricks in those states may be employed up to l2 hours day and 56 hours a week for IA work weeks of the year withot overtime payment. The ex- emption does not affect the mini mum pay of 30 cents an hour es- tabished by the act.
 The exemption was requested by a committee of brick manufacturers representing the three states as a whole on the grounds that the sea- scEial nature of the industry de- naanded such action. A similar pe- tition to grant the exemption to all of New England was denied.

|SUPT. ROACH | WARNS DRIVERS
New Britain Accident Should Cause Caution
 on Crossings

Taking a cue from the recent ac. cident in New Britain where a Wa. terbury-bound railroad train strucl and demolished an automobile witt a cost of five lives, Supt of Police William J. Roach today re-empha. sizes the familiar, but too often dis. regarded slogan of "Stop, Look, anc Listen;" and "Cross Crossings Cau. tiously."
 The apparent solution to thu railroad crossing problem, the chiei states, lies in the construction oi bridges and underpasses, but until the grade crossing disappears from the driving scene, motorists will best look out for their own safety by driving cautiously.
 The chiefs statement follows: , Because the railroad crossing tragedy occurring in New Britain this week is still fresh in our minds let us discuss the dangers involved at grade crossings.
 Thanks to improved safety de- vices and intensive education au- tomobile accidents at railroad crossings have decreased consid- erably in recent years. Yet, an incident which cost the lives of five men this week in New Britain impresses us to believe that the railroad crossing is still an impor- tant hazard to safe driving.
 None of these accidents would be necessary if drivers observed two of the most familiar safety slogans: "Stop, Look, and Listen," and "Cross Crossings Cautiously" This advice is so sensible and so easy to observe that it is difficult to understand how drivers will disregard 1t, especially since an ac- cident is almost certain to be fatal. An automobile stands less chance against a train than pe- destrian does against an auto- mobile.
 Bridges and underpasses have aided greatly in reducing grade crossing accidents and are the ap- parent solution to the problem. In the case of many underpasses, however, one hazard has been sub- stituted for another. That is the underpass which is at, or nearly at, right angles to the road. Such a sharp turn into the narrow un- derpass usually barely wide enough for two cars, is full of ac- cident possibilities. If driver erl- counters another vehicle at such a point, It Is absolutely necessary that he be going slowly enough to keep to his side. A collision is the only alternative. Underpass warn ing signs mean slow down.
 Meanwhile, until the grade crossing disappears from the driv. ing scene, good motorists should continue to stop, look and listen, and to cross crossings cautiously.
 The summation of this discus. sion is that for ones own personal safety Q strict observance Of all signal devices should be given"

A campaign against newstands and stores which sell objectionable literature has been instituted by women's groups affiliated with the Campaign for Decent Literature the movement which thousands ot Catholics in the state have joined in recent weeks.
 The Catholic Transcript reports that the drive has gained consider able momentum, and that many obscene publications are being withdrawn from sale.
 Meantime, the Legion of Decency formed to raise the moral standards of the moving picture, is still &C., tive. Catholics la churches all over the country will renew their legion of decency pledges at masses Dec 10.
 The Transcript reports the clean literature drive as follows
 A feature of the Campaign for Decent Literature has been the number of women's groups joining in the attempt to remove from the newsstands those magazine and periodicals which offend against the Code of Decency. The Daugh- ters of Isabella, the Catholic La- dies of Columbus, the Catholic Daughters of America, the Ladies Catholic Benevolent association are among the groups who have been heard from in connection with the campaign. Many others are expected to give their aid to e drive, which judging from the communications received by the Transcript, Is sadly needed.
 Numbers of correspondents have declared that the Trans cript and the Bishops Pledge have not gone far enough. They have suggested definite organization by which the problem of indecent and crime-inspiring literature may be approached directly. It Is hoped that this will not be nec- essary. Tn general, deaelrs have expressed their willingness to COG operate in removing from their stands any periodicals which are offensive.
 What these publications are may be judged from the stand ards of the Code of Decency. It is impossible to print g list of the offensive periodicals, which are almost legion in number, and mary of which are never seen on
