Rumor has 1t that the State of Connecticut is about to buy the old Plant Estate, at Avery Point, and that the State will donate the outfit to the government for the development of Coast Guard setup. Connecticut has money to burn, 1t seems, and recent pur- chases make 1t very evident that the public domain is growing by leaps and bounds. Before long, the State will have lands in every township.
 While the state is 50 llberal- minded, it might be Q good plan for our folks to Join with the peO- pie over the river and put In for the State Purchase of Sandy Hook Glen. The Glen Is a beauty spot that should be saved. The hem locks, the muddy Pootatuck River and the stark lcdges overstream deserve . better break. Some. where, on that sldehill, is an abandoned gold mine. There are fox dens and muskrat wallows In the Glen. It's . spot where powder mill could be hidden, or where picnic parties could as- scmble and enjoy Q holiday.

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN IN WHITE

"About five o'clock tomorrow afternoon You had better come in and get ready.

I was scared so awfully stiff Maybe tomorrow this time I'd be dead. But the morrow dawned bright with sunlight And the nurse came in with so much cheer She made me feel 1t wasn't really bad Her smile and sweetness dissolved my fear Then next the Doctor came into my room His suit and cap so gleaming white He looked so capable and steady knew that everything must come out right They took me to the operating room The nurse my hand held tight A little prayer was on my lips And then my head felt queer and light The next knew was in my bed With this lovely nurse lowering near She was like an Angel of Mercy Spreading her comfort and cheer. Twas then knew of the greatness That Doctors and Nurses do give No matter how tired or weary they be Their first thought is Humanity must Live. So here is a toast to the God given Doctors Who work hard that people may live And here is one to the God given Nurses Who courage and comfort doth give. For their light shines bright in the heavens And their good deeds are listed afar Their knowledge travels far across the globe Yes, even to the fuTthermost star.

IT'S THE STYLE

When ladies flit about
 Tn clothes that cause smile, They feel they don't rate laugh,
 Why2 it's just the style. Mrs. J. has new drapes,
 The color a pale green Nile, If 1t clashes with chairs bright red Remember-that's the style. Have you read the latest book?
 Profanity measured by the mile, You've got to overlook these points,
 How come2 It's just the style. Strikes continue from day to day,
 Strikers follow the rank and file, Today's strike suggests tomorrow's, The idea? its just the style. Thus We jog along through life
 Until the very last mile, Doing what the other fellow does,
 Why? because it's the style.

Lorenzo Dow believed that preachers should get around the country. He lived in an era when nobody gave the minister new car to use, In fact, Lorenzo sel- dom even had a horse of his own. He worked on tougher material than present day preachers prattle to. When Dow was on the road, people often ran . sky pilot b0wlegged if he just hap pened to tread on the wrong toes. Yet MT. Dow managed to live through . couple of tours of Ire- land, where he won praise for his fearless sermons and his inb0rn human qualities.
 Lorenzo Dow was born in Cov- entry, Conn. He came from vil- lage where the sporting gentry de- veloped road horse that could travel to Boston and return on e two-day trip, and that's moving. We doubt if there's 0 horse in South Britain that can do as well.
 If you see motor conveys of drab lOrries, packed with infan- trymen who generally look as if they would rather be hiking, don't be alarmed. It's just the army way of testing different routes to Q lot of different places. Earlier this week, the famed 26th Infan- try was trucking around COnnec- ticut and the vehicles that trans ported them came from Second Corps. (Maybe First Corp hasn't enough trucks?) Not so long ago, one of those army trucks collided with load of hay near Newtown Flagp0le.

 It pays to travel. Sam Pierce saves on winter Overcoats when he goes south, but George Gre- bcnstchikoff saves and earns, too. We have it on excellent authority that George has been invited to teach World and Russian Sitera- ture at Florida Southern College, Lakeland, Florida.
