 astic Over Walking-Favorite
 Season Here.

With the arrival of brisk, cool fall weather, many Waterburians who dislike active exercise in sum- mertime may be more eager to get out-of-doors and see some of the countryside within easy reach of town. A variety of trails, as was pointed out in The Democrat some weeks ago, faces such prospective hikerS.
 Few people in Waterbury realize how many opportunities there are for enjoyable walks along dirt roads, paths, and blazed trails only a few miles from the center of town. Those who live in Wolcott, Water vile, and Reynolds Bridge have trails running past their back doors, almost literally. And Waterbury residents can readily get to these trails by bus, or by private car; while the ambitious can walk to them from their own homes.
 Because of the proximity of the Blue Trails, with Q great number of side trails and cross trails, hikerS can work out for themselves Q walk covering almost any distance suited to their ambition and their physical condition. Walks of two or three miles are readily available, as well as strenuous treks up to twenty miles, for those who feel themselves so inclined.
 In contrast to the many country roads which form Q network over the countryside, but which are un.

pleasantly dusty at the present time, the Blue Trails which are carefully bla2ed and maintained by the Con- necticut Park and Forest associat ion now offer an opportunity to enjoy the woods at the most colorful sea- son Of the year, away from traffic and other reminders of the proxim- ity of civilization.
 To be a little more specific, there are three of these Blue Trails within a short distance of Water bury, each one of which may be reached conveniently at several points. The Quinnipiac Trail runs north from New Haven, the Tunxis Trail runs south from the Massa- chuSetts border, and the Mattatuck Trail crosses the state from east to west, eventually joining the Ap- palachian Trail, the main highway for hikerS from Virginia to Maine.
 All three of these trails converge at 6 spot known appropriately enough as Grand Junction, about a mile northeast of the center of Vol colt. This spot can be reached by dirt road, and the hdlcer Is then free to take his choice of the trails.
 A very useful guide-book to these and other trails throughout the state Is published by the Connectl- cut Park and Forest association, telling the length of the various walks, the best views and the points of interest along each of them, and the hiking conditions to be encoun- tered.
 Now is the time to make the ac. quaintance of the trails in the vicin- ity, while the foliage Is beginning to turn, and the crisp crunch of leaves underfoot rewards the hikerS every step. One can find walks of every kind within a five-rnile radius through deep groves, along cliffs, up hills and down, along pleasant brooks, through tangled undergrowth, and along abandoned wagon roads. Every hdker should find some trail completely to his liking, unless he Is a confirmed grouch-in which case it can do him no harm. anyway.

CHURCHES FACING
 TAXES IN FUTURE
No More Tax-Exempt Ben- eft Programs !; Future
 Assessments Feared
' < MA

Several of the Waterbury churches which previously have raised con- siderable funds for charitable work from tax-free benefit programs are faced with the necessity of curtail- ing their charities unless they can find some other source of revenue A little noticed provision of the lat. est internal revenue bill passed by Congress is the outright repeal of the long standing provision exempt ing returns from benefit programs staged by charitable, educational and religious institutions from taxa ton.
 Federal authorities have stated in past years that church benefits were exempted from payment of taxes because their purpose was to render community service, rather than to reap profits. Under the present urgent need for increased revenue, however, the national leg iSlatorS after considerable debate de- cided to abandon this traditional policy, in view of the national efner- gency.
 Although the decision has attract ed little attention in the country ct large, 1t will have far-reaching consequences for religious and charitable institutions whose social work has been largely dependent on money raised by such benefits.
 A formal protest against the Con. gresyional action has been lodged by the administrative board of the Ma. tional Catholic welfare Conference, which urges that the importance of the community service rendered by the country,s churches as the re- suit of tax-free benefits exceeds that of the taxes to De derived from the new policy. The board feels that the change In the governments pol- icy is of more significance than Is
