The Statewide conference on the conservation of Connecticut's rN- tural resources, to be held at the Hotel Taft in New Haven on t1iaay and Saturday, February 9th and 10th under the joint sponsorship of the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce and the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, will give spe- cial attention to the important problem of developing new markets for fuelwood as means to the prac- tice of forestry. Nearly 100000 acres in Connecticut, or 60 per cent of the total land area, are classed as woodland. Timber stands should be Weeded like any other crop. To develop crop trees of good quality, 300000 cords of trimmings should be taken out of Connecticut forests each year. In heat value, this is the equivalent of 100000 tons of coal, or one-eighth of our entire coal consumption, which because of existing markets and marketing conditions is now going to waste, In addition to this, there are about million cords of wood to be dis posed of left by the hurricane.
 Wood Marketing

COOPERATION IN CENSUS MAY BE OF HELP LATER

During the coming montn oI April, Uncle Sam'S census takers will be around to ask these ques- tions - and more, many of which have never been included in preVl- ous census in this country. The Census Bureau expects that in nine cases out ot ten the task of an swering the questionnaires will fall to housewives.
 The Bureau would like you to be as cooperative as possible The young man at the door won't take more than one-half hour of your time, and you ought to feel that answering his questions truthfully and helpfully is one of your privileges as citizen.
 If the whole idea bores you, just remember that in Turkey martial law is declared during the period the census is being talk en. No one, except the census talk CTS themselves, is allowed on the street or even in doorways during that time. And perhaps you do not know that in Sweden every person is required to have such pertinent information as the Gen. Sus Bureau wants on a card i'll his pocket all the time.
 In France, citizen must give the name and address of his en- ployer. Our Census Bureau sim ply wants to know your occupa- tion-not where you carry it on The authorities point out that they have no intention of prying inao your private life. They are merely trying to compile import ant but highly impersonal statis- tics.
 They'll ask your age of course And for your own good, as well as the governments, you ought to be one hundred per cent truthful about this. You never can tell when you will want to use the Census Bureaus records as legal proof of your age, which you arc entitled to do.
 Don't hesitate to admit that you have been divorced or that you have children by a previous mar riage, even though these facts are not generally known among your friends. The law prevents the person to whom you give the in- formation from ever revealing it He is legally forbidden to tell yoar neighbor what you said-or even to let anyone look over his shoulder while he is writing,
 The Census Bureau won't hand out facts about individuals. It is interested only in statistics.
