WATCHTOWER STUDY INSTRUCTION

After the rebellion in Eden Gods first expression to man concerning His purpose was that relative to his coming government. Every one of his holy prophets, without a single exception, prophesied concerning the kingdom of God and its estab- lishment, with Messiah as Head therof. When Jesus came to earth he began the work by announcing the kingdom of heaven. He stressed the kingdom with his disciples, and those faithful apostles, while they lived, magnified the importance of his second coming and the kingdom. That which is magnified throughout the Scriptures is Gods government, which government is theocratic; that is, Christ Jesus is Head of the royal organization carrying out Je- hovah's purpose. God promised to set up his, government. Since the ocracy" means government by the Supreme Being, that promised gov- ernment is of necessity theocracy. With the destruction at Armaged- don the theocracy will then be in full sway. Daniel 2:44. Study begins at p. m. Admission is free. No collection is taken. Jehovah's Witnesses, 168 East Main St., Gar den Building.

STATE OFFICIALS.
 IN EXPERIMENTS
Test Stations on HOusa- tonic River to Purify
 Water of Sewage

{ Local city officials are expressing interest in the experimental test station established in the HouSa- tonic River at Huntington Landing by the State Water Commission and State Department of Health. Its purpose is to clean waters of the stream of all raw sewage emptied into 1t. Protection of bathing beaches in the vicinity of Bridge port, as well as the oyster industry, is visioned by officials.
 In the Naugatuck River valley, as in the Housatonic into which the Naugatuck flows, all sewage, domes- tic and industrial, is emptied direct ly into the stream. Efforts have been started of recent years to cor rect river pollution by completion of sewer systems and construction of disposal plants to handle all wastes and neutralize them.
 The opinion was expressed locally today that the present experiment along the Housatonic River below Shelton might lessen the cost of establishing disposal plants through out the Naukatuck River valley. Waterbury, Naugatuck, Derby, and Torrington have tentative plans for ultimate construction of these plants.
 As yet no information has been received locally as to the feasibility of the new system of sewage dis posal nor was it expected to be forthcoming unless the state water commission was convinced that its operation would be of distinct ad- vantage in ending stream pollution.
 The testing plant now being oper- ated at Shelton is in charge of Dr. A. c. Cunningham, Francis Law, a chemist. and Howard Young, oper- ator, all of Beechwood, N. Y.
 Waterbury's plans for ending stream pollution were re-started some few years ago with construc- tion of 8 trunk sewer from Water vile to south Waterbury. Another trunk line is to be built up the Mad River. All laterals will be linked to these and the trunk lines pumped into disposal plant expected to be built in South Waterbury where some thirty-five years ago the city began such a project.

FLYING BARITONE
 CONCERT SOLOIST
Bridgeport WPA Group to Visit New Britain Tues-
 day Evening

When the Bridgeport WPA Sym phony orchestra is brought to New Britain next Tuesday evening, to be heard in the first symphonic concert ever given in the new music shell at Walnut Hill Park, Robert Crawford, famous flying Alaskan baritone, will be guest soloist.
 MT. Crawford is one of the most colorful and distinguished Soloists upon the American concert stage to- day, and his appearance with the Symphony Orchestra at New Britain, aids in making the coming concert an event of unusual musical impor- tance. It is expected that large number of New Britain music lovers as well as many others throughout Hartford county and from other sec tions of the state, will take advan- tage of the opportunity of hearing this fine musical performance, for which there is no admission charge.
 The concert is presented by the Connecticut WPA Music Project and has been made possible by the c. J. Parker Music Fund, an en- dowment established to make avail able free public concerts in the city of New Britain. Final plans for the concert have now been completed with R. B. Iienhard of the advisory committee administering this fund. Vibrant-voiced, with the physique of an Olympian athlete, MT. Craw- ford has had a life of adventure and achievement experienced by few artists. He was born in a snowbound cabin in the roaring Alaskan min ing camp town of Dawson, and spent his boyhood in the frontier
 boom towns of the Gold Rush days For a long time his chief wardrobe
 was caribou parka and a pair o1
 handsoftened moccasins. He learned
 wocdcraft from the Indians, search.
 ed for placer gold, and wrargled g dog sled over snowy wastes for boy
 hood amusement. At the age oi seven he made his first public ap. pearance as "The Sourdough Kid, when he was well remunerated by appreciative prospectors.

Impotent stars, sleek eunuchs of the night Indtng datrbes with w1nkng light, Far separated from barbaric themes That have punctuated with wars screams O hardened tears agltter with the dust Of cosnic yesterdays-adored, discussed By every lover who had eyes to learn The rhythm of your calm, celestial turn. Strange inspiration for all dreaming Who penned their visions with poets pen, Exasperating sphinxes of the sky Will you unlock your silence when I die?

THE FUR FLIES IN AUGUST
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The locust is humming,
 High summer is the note, Until passing window
 You spy fur coat. Ninety in the shade,
 And they talk of fur pelts, Winter modes and so forth,
 Suits with or without belts A very Arctic background
 Shows up seals and minkS, And the darker colors of autumn
 Instead of blues and pinks. What about the summer playclothes! All the slacks and espadrilles, We've two months yet to go,
 Show windows give us chills. The mosquito is buzzing,
 Summer is at its height, Wools and furs in August
 Somehow don't seem right
