Gently as to the purposes and
method Of operation Of the Connec-
ticut Highway Users Conference,
Edgar L. Tucker Of Shelton, CHAIR
man Of the conference and past
master Of the Connecticut State
Grange, issued a formal statement
yesterday setting forth the purposes,
detectives and method Of operation
Of the conference.
Mr.. fuckers statement in full is
as follows:
1.-The Connecticut Highway Users
Conference was organized about two
years ago. 1t Is made up Of one ex-
ecutiye each from organizations in
the state interested in protecting
the interests of highway Transports
ton such as the Connecticut State
Grange, Connecticut Agricultural
Council, Connecticut Farm Bureau
Federation, Connecticut Milk Pro-
ducers Association, Connecticut Rural
Roads Improvement Association,
Connecticut Petroleum Industries
Committee, Connecticut Motor Club,
Hartford Automobile Club, Itch
field County Automobile Club, Con-
necticut Automotive Trades Associa-
ton, Connecticut Motor Truck Asso-
citation and Connecticut Road Build
ers Association.
Fact Finding
"The conference is fact-finding,
information-giving and co-ordinat-
ing agency, acting in behalf of high
way transportation in the public
interest. It is devoted exclusively to
advancing the utility of the highway
as an fundamentally Of transporta-
ton. It acts as clearing house for
the collection and dissemination of
information concerning present and
proposed legislation.
"It works by cooperating with Its
members and affiliates, themselves,
in most cases, direct-acting groups.
It is not a substitute for any other
organization but serves as meeting
ground for the discussion and devel-
opment of policies of motor vehicle
taxation and regulation on an econ
omic and constructive basis. Its
members may not agree among
themselves on matters directly af-
fecting their interests, but they do
agree and work as unit in opposi-
ton to any use of highway taxes ex-
cept for the benefit of those paying
these taxes.
Members of the conference work
together as a unit only on matters
on which there is unanimous agree
ment. For example, all the organi-
cations unanimously oppose any div
ersion or dispersion of gasoline
taxes, registration or license fees.

glorious reddish-orange or vermilion
with madder brown on the inside.
There are from one to five flowers
on separate stems. all at the summit
Of the parent stem.
When you come upon this flower
you are loathe to leave it until you
have found out the reason for its
brilliant colors and why it has
chosen to wear such a vivid gown.
To attract guests who will assist
In carrying on family traditions, is
the answer.
All you have to do is to watch the
visitors. Those bright dots and lines
are so we'll understood that there is
no danger the wrong way will be
taken to the nectar bowl, secreted
in groove at the base of each of
the six divisions of the flower. The
guests alight and go directly to
where refreshments are served.
Further. "gate-crashers" do not
seem to know how to read the signs.
Some lilies have one type of guests,
some others, and if you watch the
throng come and 60, you will soon
see how very different are the
visitors of the Gala lily, day lily, or
the wood lily.
Color-loving bees and butterflies
have extra long tongues. There is
rich, nourishing pollen to be had
in the red or wood lily. This -four
is carefully kneaded into wee loaves
OF bread for bee babies yet unborn.
Between the bees and the lilies
there is a century-old partnership.
Neither can succeed without the
other. There are many, many such
corporations to be found among
natures children. They have sur
vived all depressions, and business

Red or Wood Lily
Lilium Philadelphicum

In the dry woods, borders of
thickets and in sandy soil where
you would never expect there was
enough food to satisfy so large a
plant as the wood lily, you will find
the f1ashy and courageous flower in
the Northern border of the United
States, westward to Ontario, south
to the Carolinas and West Virginia.
Her special banquet months are
June and July. 1t is at this time
she seems to defy the drought and
the fry rays of the sun.
The beautiful and unusual flower
is at the tip of stem from one to
three feet in height. 1t is erect and
red-tinted on the outside and a

Both parties enjoy success without

Smooth leaves in whorls of threes
to eighths, lance-shaped and ar
ranged at intervals along the stem,
gather in the sunshine to add to the
food that is garnered by the bulb
composed of narrow, jointed, fieshy
scales hidden in the ground. from
which the husky stem ascends each
spring
1t takes four years for the seeds
to produce Towering plant. Bulbs
are cheap and you may have these
glorious lilies in your own garden
in one short year. From then on
they will increase for you, until
you find you have some to share

Yugoslavia Key State.
There remains Yugoslavia, key
state of the peninsula. The Yugo-
slavs are in a most unhappy posi-
ton, for they not only lie up against
both Germany and Italy but are
virtually surrounded by axis-con-
trolled territory.
The Yugoslav people as a whole
have been pro-Italian and decidedly
cold toward the Nazis. Their in
clination would be to link up with
Italy. but they are in the uncom-
Portable position of being econom-
ically dependent on Germany, which
takes more than so per cent of the
Yugoslav products.
For this reason Belgrade's policy
long has been to make no alliances
with great powers and to be the
enemy of no great powers.
Thus, we find Yugosslavia try
ing to pursue her policy of neutral
ity-to steer clear of Italian en-
tanglements on the one hand and
German on the other. Despite
their vulnerable position the Yugo-
slavs have announced that they
will defend themselves If attacked.
Most certainly that will be the
inclination of one of the bravest
races under the sun.
