 ARMY YASCAREER
Hartford Youth Given HOn- OrabIe Discharge to Sign
 Up in Regular Outfit

The honor of having as a regis trant, the first young man in New England. to have already received an honorable discharge from the Army as a Selective Service induc- tee, goes to Local Board 2B of Hartford. according to a report re- cetved at State Selective Service Headquarters in Hartford this week from Roger B. Ladd, local board chairman.
 The young man is John Joseph Tilden, 255 Asylum Street, Hartford. who was honorably discharged at Camp DevenS, htree months after he volunteered to do his 12 month stint as an inductee.
 The reason for the discrarge? So that he might enlist in the U. S.. Army for a period of three years.
 Records in the First Corps Area, which includes Connecticut, dis close that the Tilden case is the first of its kind and the young man, home on a leave of absence last weekend, received a royal re- ception at his local board office.
 Said young MT. Tilden. Army life is great. After I had been sta- tioned at the reception center at Camp Devens for two or three days, I realized that I wanted to make the Army my career. My command ing officer was very kind and gave me all the information I requested. I found out that the Army offered me many opportunities, so I re- quested my discharge as an in- ductee so that I might enlist for a full three year term"
 Discharged on February 13, Tilden was immediately enlisted in the Army and sent to Westover Field, Massachusetts, where he has been enrolled as a student in the U. s. Army Air Corps.
 Tilden, born on June 26, 1908, had Serial Number 1460 and Order Number 1875. He decided that he couldn't wait for his number to come up so he volunteered and was inducted on November 13, 1940 with the first group to leave from Hart ford.

SIGNS HAVE MOVED

When astrologists say we are in the sign of Gemini, the sun is in the sign of Taurus. At one time, the signs" of the Zodiac agreed with the ''constellationS'' of the Zodiac, but due to procession of the equin- oxes during the last 2000 years, each sign has moved into the corlstella- tion west of 1t.

Ira Allen, ana 8 lot or others have worn that moniker with distinction. Chester Allen is a credit to the clan, too. He's one of the breed, one of the hard tO-kill type of Yankees that are fast becoming rare specimens.
 Chester Allen first hit these parts doing a blood testing job on the bovines around Quaker Farms. He proved that most of the Quaker Farms critters are healthy and that it's safe to drink their milk. Folks in Hartford, especially Ed Woodward and Doc Dimmock, read the Allen reports with interest and wondered how they could get other sections to breed cleaner herds. Then Chet Allen decided to make little milk and retail it himself.
 Chet's milk business was mostly around Seymour. His butterfat content was up, his bacteria count

was low. Folks saved coffee cream from the tops of Chet's bottles and still had richer milk than most peddlers bottled, because Allen was selling raw milk. Like lots of other folks, he figures clean raw milk is better food than scalded milk run through flash paSteur- izer. Chet's cows converted grass from high pastures into mighty wholesome energy. Kids got fat. Old folks lived longer in the val ley. The brass mills made so much money they declared an extra dividend, because all the workers drank milk and could turn out twice the tonnage. Aliens milk was 8 boon to the Naugatuck Valley.
 But like lot of other people in the milk business, Chester found it was mighty heavy work for the wages earned. He sold out his COWS and set out seeking new worlds to conquer. He settled on the East Hartford meadows, at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft.
 Today, when Q bomber growIs overhead carrying . load Of dee Struction that we hope win land on 8 hostile target, it's 3 pretty safe bet that the parts of those engines that haul her along have been given 8 close inspec- tion by Chester Allen, one-t time Seymour dairyman. Allen finds pleasure and satisfaction in a good job. well done. There are plenty of good jobs flying Pratt & Whitney motors these days.
 You never can tell what Yan- kee will do next. If he is making milk, he probably is figuring out something else in the back Of his mind. Yankees are filled to the eyebrows with dreams, with long ing for the higher adventure, and with the stuff that makes dreams come true. If we keep Yankees dreaming, 1t will be 8 better world to live in.
 Lots of South Britain Yankees are dreaming about the trout sea- son, right now, and 1t promises to be 8 pretty fair season, too. We know where the brownies lie, where the rainbows are lurking in deep, cold pools, and where the native Speckled trout have spots of brightest hue. Look over your tackle, patch those waders, tie some extra flies, and come out here where the Shepaug. Housa- tonic, and Pomperaug seldom let a man SO home with an empty creel.
 ThereIl be trout in Battle Axe Brook, in Paradise, in Skeleton Hollow. Worms will be the best initial bait, later you can cast a light fly or experiment with crickets. graSshoppers, and grubs. The best bait for big trout has always been newborn mice. Take a pink mouse and cast him into 8 deep pool and you'll get action quick. We know men who breed mice especially for trout bait, and they claim it pays.

MAKE SURE
YOUR CHILD
IS SAFE

WARNING from the Michigan De-
w partment OF Health about the
prevalence OF diphthcria In counties
surrounding Detroit are given addi-
,ional emphasis today by Or. Bruce
n. Douglas, commissioner OF health.
Or. Douglas states that the period
for which a child remains protect
cd varies with individuals One
child may carry this protection into
adult life while his brother will be-
come susceptible 10 the disease
again within a few years. He
recommends that all children who
received protective treatment
should be given a schick test before
school age and that this test should
be repeated about every three years
through elementary school life.
This test will determine whether
the protection remains and II fur
Their treatments are necessary.
Detroit has been relative free
from dlphtheria during the last
several years. Or. Douglas says, and
he attributes the reason for this
freedom to the intelligence Detroit
parents used in having their chill
dren protected against the disease.
He says that there are many new
families coming into the city from
various parts OF the country.
Many OF them have not been alert TO
dangers OF diphtheria. Constant
vigilance. he says. will be required
10 provide this security In COM
munity that Is showing so many
migrations.
