tai about this position. For the first time in months, however, he voted with Republicans yesterday on a bill provising for apportionment of taxes over a five-year period, except for recurring expenditures.
 Socialists Maneuver
 Meantime, the two Socialist sena- tors were reported in a maneuver designed to force action on a Bridgeport bill placing teachers under the merit system. The So- cialists will not vote on confirma- tion of minor court judges, it was reported. They will vote, though, on county commissioners, if the Re- publican leadership comes through on the merits system bill.
 If Republicans can hold the two Socialist votes, and Thornhills they would be able to put their own party men through as county commission CTS without necessity of dividing with Democrats.
 Bingo Fight Begins
 Hartford, Conn, May 16-CUP)- The controversial bill legalizing bingo in Connecticut, approved in the Senate, appeared today to be heading for trouble when it comes up for consideration in the House 1 tomorrow.
 Efforts will be made, it was un- derstood, to amend the bingo bill to provide for legalization of other forms of gaming, possibly horse- racing and dog-racing.
 Another amendment may be of- fered provising for a state lottery Under terms of this measure, 50 per cent of the receipts would go into the state treasury, and the other 50 per cent would go for prizes.

SENATOR ANSWERS BISHOP

Hartford. Conn, May 17.-(UP)- Sen. Albert L. Coles, D., Bridgeport, author of the senate-approyed bingo bill, replied to Episcopal Bishop Frederick G. Budlong's condemna- tion of the measure today with a reminder that the game was only a harmless diversion"
 Tn all sincerity" Coles wrote, q cannot feel that its defeat will rep- resent great victory for legisla- tive morality, but will on the con- trary be a most regrettable anti climax to an intensive struggle to solve this most difficult problem.
 T regret that you do not sym- pathize with the measure, partic- ularly since feel most strongly that, on the basis principal involved, we are quite probably in accord"
 Control of bingo by local option and severe penalties, the senator said, raised sufficient barriers against gambling elements entering into the game.
 At the same time Coles announced that he was having offered in the house tomorrow an amendment which would restrict playing of the game to charitable, veterans and volunteer fire department organiza- tions and communities. AS passed in the senate there were no limita- tions as to who could obtain per- mitS.
 The amendment, it was under stood, would be offered to counter act criticism of the senate passage, such as that of Bishop Budlong.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-17

Meantime, Episcopal Bishop Fred- erick c. Budlong condemned the move to legalize bingo-playing as "disheartening and humiliating" to the church.
 Expresses Regret
 He said: T must express regret over the news that gambling in any form seems likely to be licensed in this state, and greater chagrin that churches are specifically included among those to whom permission may be granted.
 "It would be disheartening and humiliating to have to concede that the churches will resort to pandering to a spirit which is the curse of this age, as it has been of preceding ones, and substituting methods which are to seek profits from peoples hope of getting some- thing for nothing through games of chance.
 T never can sanction in the Diocese of Connecticut the use of parish houses for things like bingo or the raising of funds for church purposes through conducting such games elsewhere"
 Hartford Churches Oppose
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 17-(UP)- As result of Senate approval of bingo, the Hartford Federation of Churches stood opposed today to gambling in any form, as detri- mental to the economic welfare and moral fibre of our state."
 A resolution adopted by its execu- tive committee urged "our people not to participate in it, and to use their influence against any official encouragement of it."
 Un-American Groups
 Hartford, Conn, May 17-(UP)- The General Assembly's Military Affairs committee moved today to combat un-American activities by voting favorable report on bill prohibiting military drilling with firearms or imitation firearms of unauthorized groups of five of more persons.
 The measure stipulated $500 fine or six months imprisonment for violations. It further prohibited these groups from engaging in mili- tary drills and parades, as well as giving military training in public or in secret.
 Exempted from provisions of the act were police, military, Boy Scouts and fraternal organizations using firearms for display alone.
 Diversion of Funds
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 17-(UP)- The constitutional amendments committee voted a favorable report today on bill prohibiting diver sion" of money from the highway fund.
 The measure provided all money in that fund be used soley for high way and bridge constructor and re- pair.
 The committee turned down a proposal for election of all judges.
 A tentative favorable report was made in bill raising a legislators pay from $500 to 5000 for the biennium. Several committee mem- bers were absent, however, when the vote was taken. Another poll prob- ably will be held.

In burning unseasoned wood, part of
the heat is required to turn the moist
ure into steam so it is considerably less
efficient as fuel than the same volume
of dry wood.
Th University forester says it is not
necessary to cut the best trees to get
excellent firewood. Selective cutting
of forked or crooked trees will pro-
vide as good firewood as straight trees
which will mature later to furnish val
liable lumber. Woodlot Trimmings pro-
vide fuel and give the trees left a bet
ter opportunity for rapid growth.
Ironwood and water beech which are
of little value for timber make good
fuel. Tops, if worked into fuel as soon
after the logs have been cut, make ex-
cellent firewood. Species of trees 9TH
er than those named make good wood
although they are not as valuable
sources as those listed.

Ohio Woods Furnish
Lots of Good Fuel

Ohio woodlots still produce about
100000 standard cords of wood used
at home for fuel, and each cord of
seasoned hardwood is equal in heating
value to ton of coal, according to F.
w. Dean, extension forester, Ohio
State University.
City freplaces also furnish markets
for wood because many people get real
enjoyment as we'll as warmth from a
wood fire. Mr.. Dean rates hickory,
beech, hard maple, ash, and oak as
the best woods for fuel A pile of any
of those wood, four feet by four feet
by eight feet, will provide as much
heat as ton of coal.
Green wood contains from 20 to 80
per cent more moisture than dry wood.

Ohio COUS Resolve
To Keep Old Habits

Many Ohio cows which failed to
see a pasture improvement program
on their owners Christmas trees took
time out New Years to reaffirm their
old resolution to spend their days
next summer wearing their legs
down to their hooks searching for
feed and to report at the barn each
evening with half portion of milk,
according to d. r. Dodd, extension
specialist in agronomy, Ohio State
University.
The resolution of the cows is ex-
pected to be confirmed by beef cattle
and sheep, which will register their
disappointment by shortweighting
their owners when he sells meat or
wool. Horses do not get much
chance to join the campaign because
they are fed in the barn when their
jaunts in the pasture leave them with
gaunt middles and sore feet.
The man who trained a cow to eat
sawdust while she was wearing green
spectacles kept reducing the amount
of sawdust until the COW was living
on faith. About the time the owner
started to celebrate with the money
saved by his new feeding method, the
cow became non-cooperative and
died. Her departure was not the
most melancholy thing in the world
because she at least rested while she
starved.
Not all Ohio cows joined in the
New Years resolution. Several dis
senting groups are formulating plans
| to permit them a more efficient use
of their time in the pasture fields. A
| few herds tried to make deal with
frefies to light up the pasture fields
nights but the firefies declined be-
cause the short grass keeps them
| flying so close to the ground that
the dust stirred up gives them
asthma.
One red herd thought a sit-down
strike would get results but little
figuring about the temperature of
sunbaked bare land ended that
threat. A few herds petitioned their
owners to equip milking stools with
wheels so the milking could be done
while the cow continued to forage.
Mr.. Dodd says these suggestions
by the cows are ridiculous, but the
cows put in the countercharge that
it is not very smart to compel them
to devote so much of their time to
hunting grass that they are able to
| produce only an average of IT'S
pounds of butterfat a year. The
cows argue that half pound of but
terfat a day is worth only about Is
cents at present prices and that
amount is hardly enough to pay for
the wear and tear on the pasture
| fences.
The outcome of the controversy be-
tween the cows and their owners
cannot be foreseen. Many of the
owners believe that if the COWS
would stop thinking about lime, fer
tilizer, and white clover, the present
| pastures would produce more grass
if we have more rain. The cows
admit that rain would increase the
contents of the milk bucket if it
rains hard enough and the milking is
done outdoors.

High School Youths
CAPTURE SiLUer Fox

Two Bluffton High students who
have taken up trapping as an avo.
cation for the winter last Friday
afternoon found a handsome silver
fox alive in one of their steel traps
on the Oliver Locher farm, one
half mile northwest of town.
The youthful trappers are James
Martin, a sophomore, and Aldine
Weiss, junior.
The fox was killed by the boys
Saturday morning, and its pelt will
be sold. Trapping the valuable ami
NAL brought unexpected success to
the youths, altho it is known that a
few foxes in the past have escaped
from the Bluffton silver fox farm
at the edge of town.

Hanefeld Gets New
Post

Following the Republican land
slide in November, it was freely pre-
dicted that Commissioner of Agri-
culture Earl Hanefeld, of Ottawa,
was through. Having held office for
the past eight year, and with the
enemy holding the key posts after
January 9, it was thought Mr.. Hane-
fields political career had ended.
Last week he was named head of
the states activities at the New York
Worlds Fair as a parting gift from
Governor Davey. The sum of $780,
600 has been appropriated for Ohio's
representation, and it is thought
that much more will be necessary.
Mr.. Hanefeld will run the show.
