M. .GrOundhOg! Old Weather Signs to Be Observed To-
 morrow.

The Rroundhog will make his annual winter appearances tomor- row, with the probability that he'll see his shadow, if there is one, on .the snow. The wea asherman pre- diets snow for tonight, with more cold weather tomorrow. ., Tradition says that if the groundhog sees his shadow, heil scurry back into his hole to set- tie down for six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, the tradition says, then the worst of the winter is past and we'll have very little more winter.
 After the coldest January in re- cent years. Waterburlans are hopeful that the groundhog will declde tomorrow that there's been enough cold this winter. The average temperatures for the month ending yesterday were the lowest since 1918.
 The temperature has been slightly higher yesterday and to- day, but there's still room for e lot of improvement. Early this after noon the mercury was at 30 de- greeS.

Judge

Official and personal endorsements of the membership campaign in- augurated by the Waterbury Mental Hygiene society at its dinner meet ing last evening were given today by Judges John L. Ganney and Theo- bold E. Conway of the Waterbury police court. Being conversant with instances of juvenile delinquency in this city and realizing the difficulties that hunrdeds of parents face, both judges enthusiastically took advan- tage of an occasion to publicly thank the society fo rits excellent work in mentally rehabilitating problem children" and adults.
 we should like very much to join in gratitude and praise with other agencies of Waterbury who, like our juvenile court, have been served so well and with so much understand ing by the Waterbury Society for Mental Hygiene" was the gist of the statement issued today over the sig natures of the two judges.
 $4,0OO Needed
 The local society is sponsoring a membership campaign and seeks ad- ditional funds of $4,000 to carry on it's excellent work in Waterbury. The campaign ofi1cially opened last eve- ming at a meeting held at the Wa terbury club. Over 100 members and guests including court officials and representatives of agencies inter- ested in child welfare work. Attor- ney Edward T. Carmody ofdciated as toastmaster.
 The principal speaker of the eve- ming was Dr. James s. Platt, director of the Essex county juvenile court in Newark, N. J. He spoke inter- esting Joy fhis experiences, declaring that many mental hygiene problems are successfully solved in studying problem children" who in 8 sense dramatize the problems of other children. He cited cases in which an investigation of truancy disclosed various mental reactions of children to school work. He traced the devel- opment of mental hygienic work since the establishment of the first clinic in 1906 when the American public merely pitied childern af- flicted with mental diseases. He pointed out the gratifying results that scientific effort and patience have achieved. Early studies elimi- nate subsequent expensive treat ments, social problems and economic dif1iculties.

 In Art Circles

Fishing Out of Gloucester" will be the subject of an illustrated lec- ture by Leonard Craske at the Wa terbury Women's club next Wednes- day night at 8 o'clock. He will show slides and colored movies of fishing scenes at the famous port.

 Leonard Craske was born in Eng land, tducated at City of London School, London University and St.. Thomas Hospital. At the latter in- stitution he was a demonstrator in biology and pathology while he studied anatomy. Then and there the lure of medical research and an assistant professorship almost call- cd him from sculpture. He studied drawing under the Dicksie's and in numerous art schools. He then broadened his interests by cting, ap- bearing in such notable companies as that of Ellen Terry and Sir John Harvey. In addition he produced numerous plays and designed stage scenery.
 MT. Craske came to this country in 1912 and during the war when the demand for sculpture was limited he worked with the English company of the Copeley Theater in Boston.

Among the best known are "The Gloucester Fisherman, world War Memorial at Amesbury, Mass" "The Delong Memorial In New York City,, "The Joy of Life" at Peterboro, N. II.
 Tn the making of pictures he is e true artist. He will work 24 hours to get just the right kind of . shadow. cloud. sunset or sunrise effect. Lin- guisticaily he occupies just as in- portant a position because after all he is a great actor.

CROPS SUFFER,
 PRICES GO UP
Cold Wave In South May Force Housewives to Use Canned Goods

Fresh beans and strawberries may disappear from markets by the end of this week and limited stocks of other green vegetables may force prices to high levels and housewives to canned goods, 1t is reported local- ly.
 The impending situation is a re- suit of the cold wave which gripped the south, virtually wiping out the Florida and Texas winter crops. Fresh beans and strawberries may not be expected for six weeks.
 Because little can be expected from the middle west, which pro- duces only enough for It's own win ter needs, the chief supply must come from the far west. Transpor- tation costs will push prices to the sky.
 By Monday, climbing prices may force housewives back to canned peas tomatoes, peppers, spinach, carrots and celery. Lettuce and cabbage crops have also suffered.

IVAN PODERJAY
 OUT OF PRISON
May Be DepOrted-Held In Jail By Immigration
 Authorities

Auburn, N. r., Captain Ivan Poderjay, dashing Jugoslav army officer sentenced to five years imprisonment for bigamy, was re- leased from Auburn prison today and apprehended immediately by immigration authorities who seek his deportation.
 FUund guilty of bigany in the midst of an international investiga- ton of the mysterious disappear ance of his second wife, Agnes Tuf- verson, Detroit and New York busi- ness woman, PoderJay was given the maximum sentence.
 Manacled, red faced and unable to control his anger, Poderjay walked through the gates of Au- burn prison this morning and into the custody of a labor department representative. He was removed to Cayuga county jail to await de- portation proceedings.
 50 this is America" he shouted
 'This is civilization. God bless America"
 Poderjay left the prison in the custody of Sheriff Willard Wilcox and Undersheriff Edward Ramsay
 '"This is just another form of kid- nuapping," he protested. "How long am going to stay here?"
 Wilcox explained that he had 3 deportation warrant for him. He said Poderjay probably would re- main in county jail three days.
 -"I, changed my mind about Amer ica," he said at the jail. T was mad"
 Poderjay had a scarf around his neck. He declined to remove if when he reached the jail.
 '"This is America" he said. "Scarf and socks were made by my wife"
 "F1e didn't say which wife. The state charged that he had married Miss Tufverson when he already had a wife in Europe, Suzanne Felrand. Miss Tufverson, reputedly wealthy, disappeared ia few days after her marriage to Poderjay.
 The deportation proceedings irl- dicated authorities had abandoned all hope of solving the disappear ance of Miss Tufverson. She dis- appeared on December p, 1883, a few days after her marriage to Poderjay. The captain was arrested in Vienna in June, 1884. when he could not explain his wife's where abouts.
 Extradited to the United States he pleaded guilty and after he was sentenced to from two and a haif to five years in prison, the state parole commission ordered him to serve the full term.

Bud! Cited as Typical Case in Work of Mental
 Hygiene Society.

Bud, eight years old and in sec- ond grade, was referred to the clinic because of 8 speech hand- icap.
 Investigations revealed that he was tiinid, self-conscious child, who was failing his school work and who had nc friends outside of the family circle. His personal habits were excellent and his con- duct was so conforming that he seldom needed correction, but whenever he had to be corrected he was so upset that he cried for hours. His speech difficulty was first noticed when he was almost three years old, when an older brother to whom Bud was strong ly attached died. Bud refused to talk or to go outdoors without his mother for almost a year al- though, prior to the death of his brother, he talked and played like other children of his age. Bud was an attractive, well-appearing lad, but also pathetic in that his whole attitude was one of ex- pected failure.
 The clinic doctor in repeated interviews with Bud finally got him to express his grief over his brothers death; and having ex- pressed 1t, he felt enormously re- lieved. Only then was 1t possible to give him speech training and to try to correct his faulty pro- nunciations. His family, his teach- CT, and his principal were most cooperative in not emphasizing his difficulties and in Ignoring faults and poor school work. As his self-confidence increased, his initiative developed. He responded 50 well to the speech training that an individual remedial read- ing program was also begun. Each of these special types of help were given twice weekly, two-half periods of speech and likewise two of reading for 8 period of five months, when progress check was made by the clinic. It was found that Bud had made marked improvement. His speech had cleared so well that he was cas- fly understandable. His enuncia- tions were slurred but no more 50 than the usual careless type of speech. In oral reading and com- prehension improvement was bet ter than the equivalent of two grades of work so that his acad- emic work was more than pass- ing for second grade. At the end of the ensuing two school years Bud was regularly promoted and he has continued to get passing marks.
 Buds story is characteristic of what deep emotional experiences can do to a young child. There was nothing wrong physically, he was Intellectually average, and he wanted to get along well in school and in play. As 8 result, progress was made in q very short time The clinic was responsible for di- recting what should be done, but such results could not have been obtained without the excellent CO., operation of the parents and the school.
 Bud has now taken his rightful place in his school group and in his neighborhood. He is no longer possessed with fear, and he is SC enjoying his success that the probability of Q setback is now negligible.
