Judge Kenneth Wynne of Super for Court yesterday granted two petitioners divorces on grounds of desertion, and one each on grounds of cruelty and fraudulent contract, at the short calendar session of court. All actions were uncontested.
 Desertion was the basis for the decree granted Beatrice c. Trenka, of Waterbury against Frank T. Trenka, Jr., also of this city. Per- mission to resume her maiden name was also allowed, but the court denied her request for alimony. The couple were married In 1928.

 Signs now point to this years tax collection even surpassing the all-time record set last year, when 96.43 per cent of the total levy was received by the tax collector. Tn the early days of the due period this year, figures are already run ming considerably ahead of last year.
 MT. Mangini said that @ surpris- ingly large number of firms and individuals are paying both install- ments of their l941 tax bills at this time. This enables them to secure a discount on the second install- ment, which is not due until Oc- tober.
 This years total tax levy is $5,- 273, ,70832. Of this $4,f39, ,377.68 is assessed on real property, and the remaining $l,l34,33064 is assessed on personal property. The levy is based on a tax rate of 3l mills on a grand list of $l70,i16,092.
 Under the charter requirement. limiting the estimate of tax rev. enue to 92 per cent of the grand list, the 1941 budget places esti- mated tax revenue in the amount of $4,s56,956. With actual collec- tions expected to be 7 per cent or better, there will be another large sum available for the city surplus at the close of this years operations.

 Double duty isn't enough for the Reverend Carter s. Gilliss, pastor of churches in Woodbury and Bethlehem. The Reverend MT. Gilliss now plans to leave the civilian church post late in June and to then start training for duty as an army chaplain. We predict that he will have marked success in his new assignment. It is with regret that we see him leave the Pomperaug Country and her encircling hills.
 A Hartford pSychiatrist claims that the Overprivileged and not the under privileged are the peo- pie on whom we should have pity. He says that army life has now been forced to do D lot of things for our young men that the edu- cational system might have done had 1t functioned with proper personnel. Like the Merit System, our institution of higher educa- ton appear to have fallen into the hands of folks either too mem tally backward to appreciate their responsibilities or too lazy to work honestly at productive tasks.
 This Hartford party claims that false and subversiye doctrines are taught here in the USA with great freedom and with an almost universal acceptance by the over- privileged offspring of those who won their stage the hard way. eve had an example of that right here in town, when a school nurse told pupils at Bullet Hill that they did not belong to their parents but were property of the State. That nurse still works here, tool Our admired Hartford lecturer also says that, Academic free dom does not mean allowing a swarm of educational termites to eat away the foundations of the country by preaching Communis- tic doctrines" He states that we better spruce up bit and give some of the refugees in this coun- try the once-over, stating charity does not make for a strong people nor always a loyal people"
 Years ago, we knew a man who was fishing fool. He went fish ing in all kinds of weather and with all kinds of gear. and he was lucky. This fisherman was chari- table, he gave away fish. When snapper blues were running, that guy would come home with hum dreds of snappers and make a house house canvass giving away seafo0d. He did that for years and after each visit at certain home, he saw 8 lantern out In the garGen and a man digging a hole. One day 1t dawned on him. His charity was misplaced and was breeding deceit and dis loyalty. That neighbor was bury ing the snapper blues"
 Lots of people are that way, During the last war we've seen some pretty outstanding soldiers use knitted sweaters and head gear for gun-rags. They appreci- ated the attentions of the women back home but if they'd ever tried to wear the garments pro- vided, somebody would have court martialed them for appearing in disguise. They did the next best thing. they kept government property clean with the outSize clothing. And that g,V who buried

the snapper blues was right, too. He didn't like fish but he knew that fish made good fertilizer. He raised the best corn in town.
