Ar1rlistice Day Proclamation

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin has proclaimed Saturday, NOV. llth as Armistice Day and has appealed to residents of Connec- ticut to observe with appropriate ceremonies the anniversary of the termination of the Worlds War. The great question that now con- fronts us all is how best to serve the ends of peace with honor to our country" The text of the proclamation follows:
 "Acting in. accordance with the provisions of the statute enacted at the last session of our General As- sembly, designate Saturday, No- vember Il, next as Armistice Day, in grateful recognition of the ser- vice and sacrifice made by the men and women of Connecticut who served n the military and naval forces of the United States during the last war and in thanks giving for the end of armed col1- flict between our country and her enemies on November Il, 1918.
 Tn spite of the illustration or our earnest hope that we were. ending a war to end all wars, we cannot say that the service and sacrifice of Americans were m vain. Surely our cause was just, our men and women were brave and true, our gain in material things was nothing.
 "Our willingness sto use our posi- ton in the world for peace remains as strong as ever, yes, stronger, and the great question that now confronts us all is how best to serve the ends of peace, with hon. or to our country. Let us thank God that the peace which began for Americans on November II, 1918, we can still enjoy as free people under a government of our own making.
 T urge that on that day, our Flag be displayed on all buildings, public and private, throughout this state and that suitable exer- cises be held generally, and in the public schools on the day preced- ing, commemorative of the ser- vice and sacrifice of our citizens and of the blessing of peace."

 In Reserve
 The chiefs is no idle threat as is witnessed by the orders posted on the bulletin board at police head quarters.

 The police superintendent's appeal was seconded warmly by Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh, who urged pranksters to stay away from the boxes.
 Bearing these warnings in mind, the authorities urge youngsters to get out and amuse themselves in the harmless way. No second urging is needed, for parties, dances, mas querades, and two political rallies are scheduled for the evening, to- gether with the hooded, hooknosed, and sneaker-shod figures who will venture out informally.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

About 20 years ago heard a talk
by an explorer who had visited the
Antarctic regions. He had brought
back moving pictures, and showed
them during his lecture.
I thought the most interesting
parts of the pictures were those
which showed emperor penguins in
their native home These birds are
the largest members of the penguin
family, and are found in and around
South Victoria Land, which belongs
TO the Antarctic continent.
Penguins have been compared to
little men in dress suits" They
stand upright and walk--or waddle
around.
The emperor penguin sometimes
grows to a height of 31z feet. 1t
spends all its life in the water or on
the ice-covered land"
In the water, the penguin dives
for fish. 1t is an excellent diver,
and as time goes on it grows fat
BY and by it swims to the icy shore.
There 1t molts some of its feathers.
Going back to sea, the penguin
finds more food and becomes fat
again. Later, in the breeding sea-
son, 1t spends month or more on
the land, taking little or no food.
Oddly enough, the breeding sea-
son Of an emperor penguin comes

temperature of the air, which is
often 40 degrees or more below zero!
The secret is that the female al
most covers the egg, or pair of
eggs, with her soft and plentiful
breast feathers. The eggs rest on
the top of the birds feet, and that
also helps keeps them warm.
In the breeding season, the pen
gums gather in large colonies. The
death rate among the young Is
high.
Parents who lose their little ones
seem to 60 on kidnapping trips.
They try to find baby penguin of
another family which has been left
unguarded Often there are fights
between adult penguins to decide
which shall take care OF certain
baby birds.
Like the king penguins and other
kinds OF penguins, these birds OF
South Victoria Land are not able
to fly. Their wings are simply
f1ippers, which are useful in swim
ming and diving but which have
no power to lift their owners into
the air.
