 One good way is to look up old friends-persons you really care about but haven't been able to find time for in months.
 Don't wait for them to call you. Get on the tele- phone and arrange a time and place for meeting.
 And how about doing some of the things you promised yourself last fall you would get around to this winter for sure?

NEWS CATERERS
 HIGHLY PRAISED
American Press, Radio To Help Unless They Switch
 To Dishonesty

Boston, Aug. 2O-(UP)-Lowell Mellett, administrative aide to President Roosevelt, warned today that the American press associations and American radio can continue to render great service to this nation lonly if i've do nothing to destroy the confidence they have created"
 In an article on government propaganda" prepared for the Sep- tember issue of the Atlantic month ly, Mellett, who heads the office of government reports, described the American press associations as "the finest and fairest news-gathering and news-disseminating agencies in the world"
 In virtually every country, he said, the press associations and the Amer ican Radio "have set standard of truthful reporting that has caused their reports to be believed"- d"-partic- ularly the nations of South and Gen. tral America.
 Nothing save a sudden switch to dishonesty on our part can take this advantage from us" he said.
 Some would have us out-Hitler Hitler or out-gabble Goebbels. The American people have been exposed freely to practically every trick in the Berlin bag for several years, and the net result is nothing to make Berlin happy. The net result of it all is that American is lining up solidly and effectively against all that Ger man propaganda represents. The softening-up process apparently hes served only to make America hard"

tended dances at an outdoor plat form on a single night and 500 couples have been counted on the floor.
 Old Timers Participate
 Many of the dancers are elderly and remember the songs and steps from their youth, but young peo- pie of teen-age and even smaller children form an unusually large percentage.
 There are no distinctions. so- ciety women and business and pro- fessional men rub elbows with tanned farm folk, oil field rousta- bouts and truck drivers.
 A crew of old-time fiddlers from the WPA music education depart ment provides music at the Shaw nee programs. They are led by w. s. Collins, who has been selected several times as Oklahoma's cham pion fiddler.
 Similar weekly dance programs are held at Granite, Clinton, Ard more, Chickasha, Muskogee, Coal gate, Kiowa, Red Oak, Antlers, Sal- lislaw and Tulsa.
 Shawnee's mayor, T. E. Thomp- son, asserts that the dances have become so popular that they will be continued this autumn and winter in the municipal auditor ium there.

COMMISSIONER
 COX EXPLAINED
Relates Why Petition Of Employees Union For Five
 Days Was Rejected

Hartford. Conn, August 2O-(UP) Highway Commissioner William J. Cox explained today that the ur- gency of national defense prompted him to reject an employees union petition to close his department on Saturdays and establish a five-day work week.
 we are attempting to prevent the overthrow of our ideas by nation which is reported to be working 60 or more hours 8 week." he said in a letter to Arthur J. Crawford, pres- ident of the union. There is a ser- ious question in my mind to wheth- CT we can do 1t on the basis of working weeks as short as that which now obtains in the highway department"
 Cox said he questions whether the departments work week of 36 and one-hnlf hours could continue.
 Instead of nurturing the idea of working on Saturdays" he said, "it might be well for our personnel to adapt their thinking to the possi- bility that before many months pass we may be working all Saturdays, and possibly some longer hours on other days of the week as we'll"

 The board delayed action on a re- quest by the Alderson Funeral Home for permission to discharge water from new air-conditioning system to be installed into a nearby sani- tary sewer rather than into a dis tant storm sewer. The latter would be normally required. Board mem bers said they feared that if per- mission were granted in this case, many other applicants would want the same concession.

4-H CLUBS OPEN i FAIR SATURDAY
First Big County Event Of Season To Be Held At
 Woodbridge Center

The seasons first fair in New Haven county will beSput on by the HI clubs at woodbridge Center Saturday, Aug. a. It Will~-be one
 of a series of seven similar ex- hibits throughout the state.
 Receipts of entry blanks at the office of the New Haven county Farm bureau, headquarters of the All clubs in 27 towns, indicate that there will be nearly 300 ex- hibttors. Among the farm and home products shown by the yuoth- ful owners are articles of clothing, foods, canned goods, plain and fancy fowl, purebred cattle, pigs, sheep, milch goats, flowers, select ed vegetables, wild pets, club booths, and many more.
 The All Club fairs come early for an obvious reason-they are run by young people of school and college age, and they have to be held before school opens. Part of the exhibits at Woodbridge next Saturday will be housed in the Center school. Others will be in the Town hall. But the overflow re- quires all the space afforded by a large tent and another smaller one. Dairy animals are tied out under the shady ltrees' and sheep and swine have special pens all along the roadside -penS built by the boys themselves from native lunmber.
 During the day a program of games and special features has been arranged. No games of b e n arranged. No games of chance, but the All members in- sist on giving everyone an oppor- tunity to show their skill with basehalls, darts. horseshoes, and rings.
 One feature has its practical aspect. This is an auction sale starting at o'clock with Charles H. Pearsal of the Hamden Coop erative poultry auction as auction ger. Here all the prize cakes, pies, and other food exhibited by the 4-H girls will be sold to the highest bidder, together with other articles brought in by friends of the All clubs. No admission is charged to those attending, so the proceeds of the auction, the games, food stands, and other sources are turned over to the fair officers to help pay hundreds of dollars in premiums to the boys and girls.
 The farm bureau holds its an- nual field day in connection with the All fair. Women from local home economics clubs will have educa- tional exhibits of time-saving labor-saving, and money saving materials. Health and nutrition dis plays will be shown. A speaking | program will occupy the after lunch | period. The men have planned a softball game.
