These salvationists who want to set other people free forget that bird that can't fly by it. self can't stay up if you toss 1t. The ability to attain freedom through ones own efforts gen. orally results in the protection of that freedom hard won.
 The death of pr. Wallace Nut ting brought sadness to his many friends and former employees in this area. Few people know that Nutting once ran a picture shop in Poverty Hollow. Many of the out-of-town girls who came here to work for him married local farmers and became mighty sub- stantial farm women. Nutting gave this town boost and proved to the world that the best place to run a business is in the coun- try, far away from labor strife and high rental problems. In 1923, Dr. Nutting made our rail fences and apple trees famous in his Con- necticut Beautiful" He printed a swell picture of "The Cottage on the Floss" the little stone house in Southford where the Lanehart sisters now live.
 Judge Hic0ck once drove for Dr. Nutting. Mrs. Nate Evarts made colOred pictures for him, before she started taking care of Nate. S0uthburY cows and white birches appear in many of the finer Nutting works. About the only thing he missed was John Schielke and the typical COnnecti- cut hired man.
 Nutting is to be forgiven for his remissness in not taking more pictures of people. He worked during an era when things counted for more than folks. He never heard the yelp of the mob to be made ridiculous in murals or cock eyed art. Nutting saw beauty in nature, in man-made material things, and in the twist of the gnarled crab apple and Northern Spy trees. His work was done be- fore Oakies were news. He figured people could move around and take care of themselves but that a rail fence or a haystack needed attention. A man should stand on his own feet.

 The new photography room has been completed and girls at camp have started printing their own pic- lures and learning the fundament- als of developing. They have also had special work in composition and how to use their cameras and take good pictures.
 All four units are enjoying cook outs for which the girls not only prepare their meal but also plan and budget it and have it approved by the dietitian. Trails End have hod two meals each day in their own unit kitchen. Sky High has had breakfast each morning and fre- quent second meals in their unit kitchen. Tip Top has one meal each day, sometimes breakfast and other days either dinner or supper and Happy Hollow cooks out whenever they want to.

For Your Information

On July 14th, 1941, new federal law called the Wool Products Labelling Act became effective ... and its purpose is to make sure that consumers may know what classes and amounts of wool are contained in the goods they may consider buying and the percentage of any other fibres such as cotton, rayon, etc. and any adulterating material which may be contained therein This new law refers to all wool products except carpets, rugs, mats, and upholstery fabrics. By wool products is meant any merchandise which contains flores from the fleece of the sheep or lamb, or hair of the angora or cashmere goat. The following speciality flores may also be classed as wool:-vicuna. alpaca, mohair and camers hair Under the law, 'Woor' is classified in three ways as follows:
 1. WOOL-Means new wool which has never
 before been made up into woven or felted
 merchandise.
 g. RE-PROCESSED WOOL - Means wool
 which has been woven or felted and then A without ever having been used by the con- sumer-is reduced to fibrous state and again made into some wool product
 g. REUSED WOOL-Means wool which has
 been spun, woven, felted or knitted and A then-after having been used by the con- e sumer-is reduced to a fbrous state and
 again made into some wool product Under the law, 1t will be violation to sell or to distribute interstate any wool product, the fibre contents of which are not plainly set forth some sort of label
 AM "wool content" merchandise now arriving ln this store-subieet to this law-In lahslad fef ypaE protection.
