into local economy and why lots of men are poor. 1t seems that few local sports went to a hill farm to entice the farmer away for a little recreation with gallOp- ing dOminOes. The man was butchering a 200 lb hog. The game was an enjoyable one for all hands, so the boys decided to call again the next afternoon. "I'n play just as s0On's I get this sheep dressed off," the farmer said. Not a scrap of that 200 lb hog was left! The sheep was for stew.
 Stock-raising attained its pres ent premier efficiency here just to provide food for hungry coun- trymen and their offspring. Hogs, calves, lambs, beeVes, bulls, and sheep all provide energy for our folks who burn up that energy raised more animals to be con- verted into energy. It's an endless cycle. It continues as long as the grass grows green and children are born.
 Bob Chase has rolled that Hud- son Bay blanket he bought at Me Carthy's, put a couple of hams in his pockets, and showed off for winter quarters in the Shortw0Od Brook Country up near Candle wood. Bob will shoot few foxes, chop a little wood, go to Danbury a couple of times, fish through the ice, and come back next spring ready to battle any and all Squaw Rockers who care to take him on. We've advised Bob to do bit of road work this winter and to let his beard grow. so if you see tall, bearded giant following the hounds with stride that eats up the kilOmeters that will be Bob. Look him up next time you go over to Candlewood. He'll be glad to see you and you'll be glad to sec him.

NIGHT AS DEFENSE COUNCIL EXPERIMENT
WITH CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS COOPERATING

Everything is in readiness for
n complete Blackout of Coolidge
tomorrow night as this city joins
with Florence and Eloy in the
first Tri-City Blackout ever at
tempted in the United States.
The blackout is scheduled to oc-
cur between $50 and 8 o'clock to-
morrow night as a flight of air
planes sweep over the city in a
simulated aerial attack. Coolidge
fire siren will sound three alarms.
The initial alarm will signify the
approach of airplanes while the
second alarm will signal a COM
plete blackout of every light with
i'm the city. A third alarm, COM
ing about 10 minutes after the
second blast of the siren will be
an "All Clear" signal.
Thirty members of the Sacaton

of numbers in front of the thea
tire beginning at Z p. m.
During the raid, searchlights
will attempt to find the plane;
flares will be sent up to add re-
alism; blasts will be set off In
various parts of the city; a fire
will be started some place in the

signal at the end of the raid,

ness which was cut short at the
warning signal. An account can
then be made of just how effec-
tive the raid and blackOut was.
The first 'Blackout' is not ex-
pected to be perfect in every re-
spect. but it will show where i'm
provement is to be made, and
above all, it will give the people
a sense of satisfaction to know
that they are among the very first
in the United States to know the
thrill of a 'Blackout'. what the
consequences might be, and the
important lesson il brings so they
can better protect themselves in
the event they are ever called
upon to do so.
