LIBRARY MEETING
CNew Haven Journal-courie

(New Haven Journal Courier
 That meeting of the members of the Connecticut Library Association in Old Lyme last Friday and Sattir- day was more than just another annual gathering for discussion and interchange of ideas and methods" :" It marked the completion of the Associations first 50 years of guc- cessful endeavor to increase the states uhfary facilities and to work for improved professional qualifica- tions in library service.
 The members there assembled, ul1- doubtedly hardened back in their conversations to the Association's achievement in providing e million books for e million soldiers" during the first World war and discussed the possibilities of similar service sn this all-closely parallel period. They must, too, have argued over the newest wrinkle in libraries, the travelling library or s'booIInobile," l" But we have no doubt that they paid particular attention to the role oE the library if1 today's troubled world.

 ]. Edgar Hoover has uncovered Q new type of secret code used by the Germans in communicating with agents in this country. It iS based on tho latest American best.selling novels.
 Each agent is assigned Q num- Der and also q novel or Ilon-flc. ton book. One man may have number 0e. and the novel, "GOne With the Wlnd". Another may have "The Nine Old Men,. Tn. stead of carrying Q code book around with him, which would be discriminating if discovered, he carries the innocent book.
 Then he gets Q wireless fIleasage reading something like this: 0s-24- 6, T6-0, 204-3, etc. The.firSt nun.

FOR YEARS TO COME"
(New York sun)

The prison terms Of ten years and eight years imposed respec- lively upon William BIoff and George E Browne, who deserve to be remembered as exploiters Of la- bor rather than aS leaders of labor, may, as Judge Knox said before passing sentence, redeem in part what Bioff and Browne have done to the cause of labor. What these two men did was caleld "a blow that will leave its scars for years to come"
 The warning that these sentences give to those who are in 6 position to exploit labor organizations is sale utary. The message that they give to those who have been exploited or are now exploited Is even more im- portant. Organized labor has seen two of its rascals turned out and sentenced to prison. It should see in that episode pointed invitatoin to clean its own house wherever housekeeping is needed.

Down in New York Educator Board members were thrown into dither this week over the day on which the Christ mas vacation must end. One member wanted the vacation to extend to Sun- day, January 4, children returning on Monday the 5th as they will here in Waterbury. But despite all arguments the board voted to reopen school on Fri day the End. New York usually looks on the practical side of such an argument, but apparently here she didn't.

Whole State Benefits

Recent news articles relating to the bequest of the late Edward N. Caring ton of Naugatuck and West Haven to the State Park and Forest Commission tend ed to give the impression that Beacon Falls would be the sole beneficiary under terms of his bequest. Of course the entire state will be the beneficiary, for the Nau- gatuck State Forest, whose area may be widened and whose assets for recreational purposes may be increased by the $50,000 provided for this purpose, is open to the entire state and has in recent years at- tracted people from various sections.
 Up to now development of this scenic and rugged area has been mainly due to the earlier generosity of the Whlttemore family of Naugatuck, Its original land donations and subsequent assistance en- abled the state to provide the citizens with recreation spot unsurpassed in natural splendor Thanks to timely CCC aid the area was made more accessible and con- siderable work done in clearing up over- grown sections and providing spots where picnic parties might be enjoyed. But the general woodSy nature of the area was not lost or destroyed in these processes.
 The Darlington bequest comes at a time when the Park and Forest Com mission is hard put to find funds for the numerous demands that are being made for further development of existing areas. Although benefits may appear to be localized chiefly to the Naugatuck Valley, actually the state shares in what ever fresh ones are now ours.

MAINE BANNERS
(Boston Post)

Maine farmers and canners who stepped up the production of canned corn, snap beans and pumpkin to meet big army orders deserved the praise bestowed upon them by 6 high-ranking officer of the quarter master-genefai's department.
 The farmers and packers could have held their stocks for later sale in a steady advancing market. 1n- stead they chose patriotic policy. New England'g canning industry is not great when compared with sev. eral other sections of the country, but Maine is proving that 1t can be developed to 8 tremendous extent.

 With Q few exceptions the C1O staff was originally appointed by John |. Lewis, and most of them continued to play close ball with John L. after Murray took over the drivers seat. Prominent among those present ct this secret carpet session were: Allan Hay wood, organization director and an old Lewis henchman: John T. Jones, legislative representative and e iong-tlme Lewis lieutenant; Lee PreasInan, leftwing general; and comptroller, J. Raymond Bell, Lewis brother -itlslaW.
 Murray made no threats, but he implied plenty. He made it very clear that he knew what had gone on behind his back and ins tended to have no more of it. tenceforth he was going to Do boss in practice aS well aS in name.
 "FOr 6 year I have said n0th. ing about many things I knew were taking place." he said quietly. ''I have been aware of everything that was said and done. But from no on ! want you tO know that ! won't stand for any dlsloyalty from anyone. This convention has given me . mandate and I intend to see that it is fulfilled. Either you
 will be loyal to me, or you wia
 get out"
 Murray'S private lecture was c follow-up of his closing speech to the convention castIgatIng "thuggery" and "jIlrisdlctlonal Falds'. Both blasts were aimed dI- rectly at the United Construc- ton Workers, whose chief, A. D. 'Denny" Lewis, was appointed to the Si0,OO0.a.year job by his brother, John L.
 The Construction Workers have been raiding other unions and have stirred up Q hornets nest of indignation within the CIO. Also, this union has barged into fields only remotely related to construction. It granted c charter to c Communist controlled team gters local in Minneapolis and Is organizing service employees in New York city apartments and Yale College. Actually the union has only 6 few construction lo- calls.
 Murray has done nothing about this, but in his blisterlng speech he served notice that he was go- ing to.
 Labor unions are never built by the use of thuggery and brass knucks," he said KNmly. "And ss presldent Of tlNs Organlxa- ton | do not intend to allow jurisdiCtlopal raids. I shall not stand for any backstairS ma neuveFlng."
 NOTE -- Inside word is that Jones, an examiner official who sees eye to eye with Lewis on isolation, will be one of the first to leave the CIO staff. t EATIN' EGGS
 Here's a good tip from Secre- tary Harold Ickes to farmers who sell eggs. e
 Sell them as eatin' and not lookin' eggs.
 Ickes' farm at Olney, Md, does a sizeable egg business in Wash ington and recently some cus- toners complained about the brown color of the eggs. Farmer Ickes met the criticism head-on. Tn each package he inserted the following neatly printed piece of advice,
 EGGS FOR TAsTE-NOT FOR LOOKS-Important to you is how your eggs TASTE, not how they LOOK before they are cooked. That is why Head waters Farm specializes in extra large, strictly fresh, New Hamp- shire Red eggs.

Considerable interest has been mani fest in the budget of the Fire Department for the coming year. It Is more than this years appropriation, due chiefly to the fact that new apparatus will be bought. There has been a lot of pressure on city fathers to replace the older trucks in some of our firehouses. This is an im- portant item, of course, one that must be faced at regular intervals. Another feat ure of such proposal as this, perhaps a minor one, though, Is the color of the fire engines. Red Is the traditional color of any and all fire engines. But gradu- ally cities and towns are getting away from the red trucks. White is now as acceptable as red. New Haven Is buying couple of new trucks and these are both white. You'll find the same trend in other places. The safety feature Is llsu- ally stressed, the point made being that white is more distinguishable by night and day than the more familiar red.

If anyone was asked to define the boundary between Rhode Island and New York he might look in amazement at the questioner and exclaim that there isn't any. In one sense he would be right; in another he would be wrong. There has always been a boundary between these two sovereign states, but 1t hadn't been defined until just the other day when Joint Boundary Line Commission, set up by the Legislatures of New York and Rhode Island, set tentative boundary. It's in the water of Long Island Sound between Montauk Point, N. Y, and Dickens Point, Block Island, R. I. After ratification in both states IS accomp- lished Congress must also approve this new state line.
