 Financially, the country is in pretty good shape. It is rich in natural resources, and rising war market is pumping more money into its coffers, in spite of the fact that much of its trade with the home land is lost.

stovepipe leading around the room, because Mccarthy is more Scotch than Irish. and he hates to lose heat.
 With the stove job out of the way and trade tagging, Henry took an inventory of his goods and de- cided that a hammock that had hung on the east wall of the store would have to be rolled up and put away for another summer. Now, if there's one thing our StOrekeeper hates worse than another, it's car- rying goods over 8 season or two. You'll never get any second hand Petunia seeds at McCarthy'S, be- cause he cleans out the bin and never stocks more than he can use.
 That hammock just spoiled a day, almost, because it meant money tied up and taxes and overhead and no profit.
 A drummer came in and Henry bought cheese for the First Sel- ectman but failed to stock any, thing else. A couple of kids stopped after school and bought some penny candies, and Sam Pierce came down to sit behind the stove and wait for the New Haven paper. Henry's cash register jim gled occasionally, but not often enough to eliminate the memory of that hammock. As the rays of the afternoon sun struck the ham mock, ye storekeeper fetched a mighty sigh and reached for the mothballs.
 Then the door opened and husky farmer came in. He paused at the showcase where the fifteen cent pearl necklaces were on dis play. He looked over fancy china and read How To Win A Pack ard" on the soap contest advertise ment. Then he saw that hammock!
 Henry knew that sale had been made as soon as he saw the light in the farmers eyes. Slowly mov- ing from behind the counter, our best merchandiser just stood there with his hands on his hips and waited. The customer came right through. How much for that hammock?" he asked.
 ''Weh nOw," Mccarthy gurgled, q was just wondering if I hadn't ought to mark that hammock up, because of the generally low state of the supply houses deaain' in European impOrtatiOns Y'see, Mister, that's an English hom- mock with fast colOrs.

 Wrap 1t upl" ordered the cus- toner. And he didn't even notice how Henry's hands trembled as he tied the last knot.
 That's the way things 60. If anybody said you could sell hammock to Q Yankee ln septem- Der, we'd call the man . liar, but Henry sold one.

dent John L. Lewis protest of the
exclusion ef the United Electrical,

Mr.. Lewis sent his protest, the
Times said, after James j. Matles,

tended it had been. denied COM
mittee representation because of
Mr.. Hillman's belief that the union
was 'tinged with red and that it

In letter to Mr.. Lewis August

In the last few years, this repair
and maintenance fund has suffered
heavy slashes, with the result that
the schools are behind schedule in
such things as repainting and play
ground resurfacing and have not had
the money for these major repairs.
During the last decade, while
school buildings have increased by
some $20000,000, the maintenance
and repair fund has been, if not
static, actually less than in the
earlier days.
Librarians Pay Issue.
Again school officials are seeking
to get rid of the legislative rider
which limits the average pay of
school librarians sto the average of
public librarians doing the same
type of work. They assert the work
is not comparable and the libra
rians salaries are fixed by law in the
Teachers Salary Act and that the
rider is contrary to that act.
In the field of personnel the
board is asking for a large number
of new teachers to reduce conges-
ton, particularly in the colored
schools. Fifty new teachers are
asked for this alone. Sixteen are
asked in the white junior highs.

of increasing land values.
A large increase is sought in the
item for maintenance of buildings
and grounds, which this year was
allotted $466,585. In seeking $727,-

other roofs would go to Mcfarland

Central High would get a new fire

Twenty thousand dollars would be
spent to relieve emergency fire
hazards, school officers indicate.
Auditoriums in Francis, Macfarland
