November 10th to 10th is being proclaimed by the Governor as CONNECTICUT APPLE WEEK, The apple industry in this state is of great economic and health im- portance, and the Connecticut Pom ological Society, now in its 50th year, is launching an education campaign.
 We are asking your support in this non-profit, education, cam paign.
 From time to time we will send you releases, but herewith are few salient facts about Connecticut Apples.
 Connecticut last year produced about 100000 bushels of apples.
 Dr. Ira Manville, dietetic chief, University of Oregon, says, Tn the apple, nature has given us the most complete package of health-givirg food we possess" Apples contain four vitamins, A, B, c, and C.: four minerals, iron phosphorus. magne- sium, and calcium: gentle bulk or roughage that promotes regularity: Pectin, healing to the internal tis- sues, absorbing intestinal poiSons.
 It is estimated that only 6 1-2 percent of the average American citizens diet daily consists of fruits or vegetables, including potatoes. On the other hand, physicians and scientists advise that around 30 per- cent of the diet, on a caloric basis, should be fruits and vegetables. The U. s. Department of Agriculture recommends II pounds of apples per year per person as an adequate amount.
 Nothing takes the place of apple pie. and apple sauce is certainly one of our standbys. Apples in any form raw, cooked, dried, squeezed or pre- served are good. Raw apples, skin and all are good for us. It is estimated the annual turn over (financially) of apples in Con- necticut represents some $2500, ,OOO including the amounts spent for sugar. spices, butter, pie-plates preserving jars. etc. By protecting this industry Connecticut Apples) we are helping our community and our state.

a good land line to the axis for . thrust at the. Dardenelles and Turkey. Salonika would also be base for a sea thrust at the same goals.
 Attack by the Italians on Greece gives Britain a great opportunity, If 1t can spare the naval, air and land forces.
 If occupied by Britain, the island of Corfu, to the west of Greece, would provide a base only 50 miles from the Italian mainland. British naval forces from there could al- most close the Adriatic, locking up all Italian shipping except suhmar- ines. British airplanes could easily fly over and bomb all Adriatic Italian ports.
 CRETE MAY BE KEY
 TO WHOLE SITUATION ' Even more important is the British occupation of Crete. In Italian hands this island would threaten Egypt, the great seaport of Alexandria and the Suez Canal.
 It would protect the Italian sea- way to Libya. In British hands, 1t may, by the same token, protect Egypt, Alexandria and the Suez Canal, and threaten the Italian seaway to Libya.
 Crete is also potential jumping off place from which to bomb the Italian held Dodecanese Islands near the coast of Asia Minor. It blocks the Aegean Sea, even If the Italians do get Salonika. It gives the British chance to establish air bases on the islands of 1mbros and Lemnos and thus protect the Dardanelles.
 The main goal of the Italians, backed by Germany, is to keep Turkey quiet, grab the Mosul oil- fields and take the Suez Canal, thus bottling up the eastern Mediteran- can.
 The main goal of the British is to prevent these very things, at tack Italy on her eastern flank, If possible smash her fleet, Lombard her towns and force her out of the war.

Some Nations Take Part But Their Roles Now Differ
By MILTON BRONNER TEA Service Staff COrrespondent


 1taly's attempt to drive through Greece and capture the port of Salonika is another of history's repeat performances - with vast difference.
 It's a perfect example of the cock eyed, changeable mess that is Europe, where friendships are con- verted into hostilities overnight, and vica versa.
 In the World War, Italy, ally of Britain and enemy of Germany, sent troops to join the British and French in grabbing and holding Salonika. First object was the vain effort to keep Bulgaria from join ing Germany. Principal object was to threaten Turkey, enemy of the allies, and cut communications be- tween Germany and Turkey and the Near East.
 In the present war, Italy, ally of Germany and enemy of Britain, is trying to grab Salonika. 1mme. diate object is to encourage Bull garia to join the totalitarians. Prin- cipal object is to threaten Turkey this time having Q pact with Britain-and the Near East, where are the Mosul oil fields so vital to Britain's navy and air force.
 In the last war Greece tried to keep neutral, although King Con- stantine, husband of the Kaiser's sister, their son George, and their principal adviser, Gen. John Me- taxas, were ardently pro-German. sALoNIKA HELPED
 ALLIES IN 1918
 At the start of the present war, Greece tried to remain neutral and this time George-now king-and Metaxas - now premier dictator - have set the Greeks fighting the Italians, allies of the Germans.
 Tn the last war possession of Salonika finally helped the allies beat Bulgaria, thus starting the end of the world conflict. In the present war, If British and Greeks can hold Salonika, they have a chance to knock Italy out of the war, and for the first time en- danger Hitler,s vast plans.
 In the last war, British and French troops landed in Salonika in 1915 and, when Bulgaria joined the Germans, the allies pushed for ward in a vain effort to help the Serbian army. But the Serbs, at tackled on front and flank by big Bulgarian and German armies, re- treated In utter rout, going through Albania and then on by water to the island of Corfu. Ultimately they were refitted, reorganized and re- turned to Salonika.
 After the first brushes between the allies and the Bulgars, in the years 1916 and IT, things were pretty well stabilized. The Germans jeered that Salonika was their big gest concentration camp, meaning that the 500,000 British and French troops there were immobilized.
 But the allies got the last and best laugh, for on Sept. Il, 1918, they advanced northward, routed the Bulgarians and compelled them to

KEEP YOUR EYE
ON FARM LANDS

! understand that c. E. Sprousc
has recently sold several farms!
Well, lna know that Sprousc has
been saying for some time that
farm land IS too cheap. and would
sell, aad one, by one, the real
bargains would be picked upl So
l guess he must be right from the
number of farms he has sold, and
I suppose also he must get hold
of some exceptionally good places
for sale which makes it much
easier for the buyer to find what
he wants!
For example: 80 acres in alfalfa
near McCabc, not a perfect 80
but a good piece Of land for
$6250
80 in alfalfa near Sandia
80 in vegetables, and a peach
at $4,000
100 in alfalfa for six years

100 in alfalfa for only $13,500.

Story of KitzmilIer Youth

The Indiana Statesman, a news
paper published in Terre Haute, Ind,
recently carried a story of James w.
Moore, a freshman in Indiana State
Teachers college.
Moore is from Kitzmiller and went
to Terre Haute through the influence
of a high school teacher who gradu-
ated from there. In high school jim
mic won letters in track, soccer and
baseball, and in his senior year there
the soccer team went to the finals of
the Western Shore championship. jim
mic told them this country was much
prettier than what he had seen in
Indiana but said the weather was
much milder.
Jimmie has a collection of old coins,
rare stamps and match folders He
has in his collection some 500 coins
of all descriptions and 1000 stamps.
His match folders are thousands in
number. He is maioring in industrial
arts and mathematics at the college
and chose this combination because of
the great lack of industrial arts
teachers in this section.
