S-Pt.PrOgram Will Be Given
 Both Parties
Will Serve As Basis Of Talks With Democratic,
 Republican Leaders

A basic program for its guid- ance in the coming municipal elections will be presented to the New Haven Central Labor COun- cil at its meeting Thursday night by the Councils Committee on Political Action.
 The report accepts the creation of the Fair-Rent Committee and the New Haven Water Company hearings ordered by Governor Robert A. Hurley as fruits of the Councils year-rOund political activity, but stresses the fact that additional low-cOst public hOus- ing, as we'll as defense housing is the only real solution to the rent and housing situation in New Haven.
 8-POINT PROGRAM The report contains an eight-point program which will serve as the basis for discussions with the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in this city.
 It will be presented to the Council by the Committees chairman, Harold V. Feinmark, who is president of the Council.
 PROGRAM
 The basic program follows:
 l. Additional lOw-cost public housing supplemented by de- fense housing.
 2. Equal labor representation on all boards created by the city.
 3. Full support to city and state defense activities.
 4. A Fair-LabOr Standard Law, which would provide the prevailing wage rate for all municipal contracts.
 5. A greatly intensified cam paign for the reduction of rates charged by the New Haven Water Co.

In the nine previous parts of this series individual work has been stressed but there are five players on a team. And no team Will bc successful unless those five men work together as one.
 Being Q good individual player doesn't make you a good basEet- ball player. You have to be 2 team man to be worth the water you use in your shower.
 There are any number oI plays and drills you can work with just one other player. working to3eth- CT on both offensive and defensive maneuvers. If you can find two others who will act as opponents all four can benefit by taking turns at both phases of the drills.
 It's important that you be a poll ished individual performer - but it's more important that you have four other fellows who want to help you and who want you to give them your help.

Caribou May
 Come Back,

Long Lost Neighbor May Be Restored If Every-
 thing Goes Right
AP FEATURE SERVICE

MT. KATAHDIN, Me, Jan. H. The Martens, the Fishers and the other citizens of Baxter State Park are being visited by census takers these days.
 And if the census people find con- ditions suitable the citizens may expect the return of long lost neighbor-the caribou
 The citizens" in this case are the various species of fur-bearing ani- mals which cavort in the more than 99,000 acres of park wilderness.
 The seven-month game census, made possible through Federal funds, will be undertaken by a quartet headed by Jay s. Cash wiler. Research Director Joseph s. Stick ney of the state inland fish and game department says one of the census projects results might be the return of the woodland caribou }familiarly known as the reindeer, which disappeared from Maine more than 50 years ago. The Mt Katahdin area, he said, had been the animals favorite Maine habitat.
 Stocking of the park with caribou will depend on whether the census takers decide there is ample food for that species existing in the region.
 A recent national game survey indicates that Minnesota and Wash ington are the only states where woodland caribou now exist.
 The census-takers have lined themselves up for quite a job:
 They will build log cabin for their home during the long, lonely months ahead. Equipped with snow shoes and other necessary gear, they will start out afoot to cover each township in the area, checker-board fashion, to determine the number and type of animal encountered.
 Tn case you've never heard of a marten or a fisher, they are slen- der, weasel-like fur animals with long tails. They are arboreal, car niverous mammals classed among the rarest and most valuable of Am erica's fur bearing creatures.
 Baxter Park is situated in eastern Piscataquis County Dotting it are numerous camps. lean-tos, fireplaces and other conveniences for venture some tourists.
