The l94l session of the General Assembly adjourned on last We'd nesday. l will try to tell you what were its accomplishments, and to give you my conclusions as a mem- Der of the General Assembly.
 MILK CONTROL
 On January 8, l941 Governor Rob- ert A. Hurley was inaugurated and his inaugural address was without doubt the most straightforward and progressive that any Governor of our great state has made to General As senbly. Included in that inaugural message was recommendation to aid the producers and consumers of our state by the enactment of amendments to the Milk Control Act.
 The milk control act regulates Con- necticut's $2O,OOO,OOO a year milk in- dustry. Heretofore the milk admins trator had the power to set only the price of milk sold at retail, leaving the farmer-producer to the mercy of the large corporation-dealer, and soak ing the consumer by establishing a minimum retail price for milk.
 DAIRY FARMERS BENEFIT
 The bill that was finally passed sets a minimum price to be paid to farmers after a public hearing and throws the retail price open to the competitive market. All milk deal CTS must be licensed and bonded to assure payments to farmers. The dairy farmers of our state will benefit immeasurably by the pas sage of this bill.
 SOCIAL WELFARE
 The Governor recommended the abolishment of "exacting require ments" or liens on the homes of re-

 Local Campaign

With New Haven's quota of $47, ,OOO as the goal toward which all U.S.O. workers are striving to attain, the second week of the drive of the United Service Organizations finds everyone diligently labOring in behalf of our service men and defense workers. Corporations and business houses will be personally visited by campaign workers this week, and there will be an OppOr- tunity for employees to make vol untary contributions through some central agent in their midst. All organizations in town, including the many local unions affiliated with the New Haven Central Labor Council, are endorsing the cam paign and sending in their con- tributions.
 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
 Workers for the drive have been encouraged to renew their efforts by a letter sent out by Oliver V. Ober, president of the local campaign, who answered two questions most often asked U.S.O. workers.
 The first question is, 'Inasmuch as the government provides recreational facilities inside training camps, why should it be necessary for the U.S.O. to have facilities outside of the camps?"
 MT. Ober's answer is: Any sol- dier or sailor will emphatically tell you that after being deprived of the freedom and comforts of his home, drafted into the service and subjected to military restraints, he is anxious and determined to get out of camp at
