 Jack Muivey, Boy Scout who lives on the hillside not far from Skeleton Hollow at Lake zoar, had an exhibition of photography at the Connecticut Artists and Writ CTS Conference last week that would have made many profes- sional envious. Jacks picture of the Jack-in 1.-the Pulpit was espe- cially fine. We understand that the lad makes his own enlarge ments with a homemade Setup. Whatever he does, he rates honor able mention.
 SOuthbury Boy Scouts are wide- awake fellows and quick on the trigger. Warren w. Lewis, Marine COrpsman, left the local troop about a year ago to load five inch guns for Uncle Sam and to get some experience with the soldiers of the sea. When the other scouts get their courage up and enlist, or are drafted, they'll probably find Warren running garrison or la boring aboard a battIe-wagon. Lewis has already qualified as ex- pert pistolman and he has an entire years advantage over the recruits of 1940. It pays to be awake when the world is afire.
 In spite of rumors, everything is quiet in the SQuaw Rock Coun- try and along the valley of Battle Axe Brook. Two of the Rockers" had a minor falling out the other day but they seem to have buried the hatchet somewhere along Bat tie Axe Brook.

The book, THESE MEN, is Jack Swetland's contribution to the lit- erary world and to the knowi- edge of the readers who are now scanning the horizon for some hope of the future. Jack has told of the American effort in France in 1917- 1918 with an entirely fresh approach. He anticipates T lively reception and bumper market. He rates it.

SCIENCE SPIES ONMOONLIGHT
 DANCEOFFIsH
Phenomenon of Nature Oc- CUTS in Southern Cali-
 fOrnia Only

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-(UP)- One of the most amazing examples of synchronization by Mother Na- ture to attain her ends has been manifest on the beaches of South ern California, according to Dr. Frances N. Clark. of the Bureau of Marine Fisheries here. Back of the strange sight of fish that come out of the ocean and dance in the moonlight lies an in- teresting story, Dr. Clark said, of synchronization by nature of tides, moonlight and reproduction peril ods that appear almost without parallel in the annals of science. The fish is the grunion. Why 1t only comes up on the beaches of Southern California, and not else where SO far as is known, to exe- cute its weird dance has not been ascertained.
 Study Begun in 1919
 Little was known of what lay back of the moonlight dancing on the beaches till 1919, according to Dr. Clark. Then 1t became known that 1t was for spawning.
 Then, little by little, the veil of mystery was withdrawn and the whole tale of natures synchroni- zation was revealed and reduced to cold statistics.
 "The reason for these brief ex- cursions out of the sea onto the shore during only a few nights of the spring and summer was found to be for the purpose of burying their eggs in the sand," Dr. Clark related. Y 'The time of the spawning is so mysteriously synchronized that the fish are ready to spawn only on three or four nights when occur the exceptionally high tides ac- companying the full and dark of the moon.
 High Tide and Full Moon
 "The eggs ripen in the female at two-week intervals that synchro- nize with the full moon and the high tides.
 "The eggs are deposited in the sand by the female and are fer tilized by the male, who, also, is washed up onto the beach by the high tides.
 These eggs lie in the sand for two weeks and hatch out baby grunion just at the time synchro- nized for the next high tide, which washes them out to sea. So per- fectly has nature synchronized the whole affair and the Bureau of Marine Fisheries has reduced 1t to such cold calculation, that the bu- reau was able to announce this years schedule for the grunions even to the hour. Their first ap- pearance was at 8:30 p. m. on Aug. and the last at 12:15 a. m. on Aug. 6.
