In the cool sweet hush of wooded nook.
 Where the May-buds sprinkle the old green sward, And the winds and the birds and the limpid brook
 Murmur their dreams with drowsy sound Who lies still in the plushy mold?
 With his pale cheek pressed a breezy pillow, Couched where the light and the shadows cross
 Through the flickering ringes of the willow? Who lies, alas so stl chll in the whispering grass? A solder-boy in a Zouave dress,
 A bright-haired lad with his lips apart, One hand thrown up his frank, dead face
 And the other clutching his pulseess heart Lies here in the shadows cool and dim.
 His musket swept by trailing bough, With careless grace in his quiet limbs,
 And wound on his manly brow, alas! Whence the blood drips on the quiet grass. The voets peer from their dusky beds,
 With fearful dew in their great pure eyes; The lilies culver their shining heads,
 Their pale lips full of a sad surprise; And the lizard darts through the glistening fern,
 And the squirrel rustles the branches hoary; Strange birds fly out, with a cry, to bathe
 Their wings in the sunset glory, While the shadows pass OCT the quiet face and the deWJ
 grass. God pity the bride who waits at home,
 With her lily cheeks and violet eyes, Dreaming the sweet old dreams of love-, ,
 While her sweetheart is walking in Paradise! God strengthen her heart as the days go by,
 And the long dreary nights of her virgil FOLLOW: No birds no moon! nor whispering wind
 May breathe the tale of the hollow. Alas Aas the secret is safe with the woodland grass

Dem- ing, state director of adult educa- ton. MT. Deming Is serving as secretary of @ state educational committee cooperating with Army and civilian groups in assuring special instruction for air corps candidates.
 The cities in which these courses will open about May are: Hart ford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Wa terbury, New Britain, Stamford, Meriden, Norwalk, Norwich, New London, Middletown, Bristol, Will limantic, Danbury and there will be q center in Litchfleld County. E. Robert Stevenson is Waterbury chairman.
 These refresher courses, to be supervised by public school off, cials, and with instruction, for the most part, by teachers from the high school and college fields of the state, have been requested by the Army. There is 0 need for greatly increased recruiting of candidates for the commissioned personnel of the U. s. Army Air Corps If the training schedule of the corps Is to be maintained. The corps wants 30,000 pilots, trained or in training, within @ year.
 These refresher courses will continue for about three months and prepare young men In nine subjects for the Army's educa- tional examinations early In Aug ust.

|ARBUTUS MUST
 BE PROTECTED
New England Wild Flower Preservation Society
 Makes Appeal

Spring is with us again and the trailing arbutus (epigaea repens), commonly known as the mayflow- CT, which Is the beautiful Massachu- sets State Flower, is more than ever in danger of extermination. Hun dreds of motorists buy 1t along the roadsides, not realizing that 1t has been carelessly picked by pulling up yards of the plant to obtain a few of the blossoms. Literally years of growth are thrown away after the blossoms are picked.
 The New England Wild Flower Preservation Society, at Horticul- tural Hall, Boston, is making a special appeal this year for added protection of this plant for many large areas of hitherto unexplored wild lands where the arbutus grew have been taken over by the gov- ernment for National Defense pur- poses, for the new super highways, for army camps and for air fields, and hundreds of the stands of ar- butus that have been guarded by Nature will be entirely demolished.
 The above society therefore urges everyone to refrain from buying the arbutus from vendors along the highways or in the cities. We must not lose the trailing arbutus.

State Chairman

but there are many other lucrative posts to be filled. One of the lat est reports from Hartford is that Gov. Hurley Is considering serious ly the nomination of Republican, Attorney General Frank Pallotti, for one of the superior court vacan- cies. It Is expected at the Capitol that the first name on the superior court judgeship list will be that of State Tax Commissioner Charles J. Mclaughlin, and the second that of the governors executive secretary, James Y. Murphy.
 Barley Candidate
 MIX Administrator s. Mclean Buckingham of WatertoWn IS slated to bo dropped, as is probably Com missioner of Agriculture Olcott r. King. One of these posts, each pay ing $S,000, may go to J. Walter Dar- ley, secretary of the Democratic state central committee.
 There seems general agreement that Commissioner Michael A. Con- nor of the motor vehicle depart- ment will go. He will probably be succeeded by Democratic State Chairman John T. Mccarthy, pro- vided that the latter decides to ac- cept the 5000 job.
 Indications point also to the de- partuye from Hartford Of Highway Commissioner William J. COX, whose post pays $l0,000. Some Democratic leaders believe that this position will go to Commissioner of Public Works George L. Burke, who is now serving out the unex- pired portion of Gov. Hurley's term as commissioner. This would then leave Q public works commissioner to be appointed.
 Liquor Commissioner
 The term of Liquor Commission CT Samuel Spencer expires and he will be replaced. One of the can- didates IS Senate Clerk John Fitz. patrick of Fairfield, while others in the field are Senator Pierre Lar amee of Willimantic and House Minority Leader T. Emmet Clarie of Killingly. This appointment re- uulres no confirmation.

NEW HAVEN MEN
 AWARDED $7,0O0

A much despised insect brought Harold K. J. Brennan of Waterbury and the Raymond Baking Company into New Haven Superior Court last Thursday, where two New Haven claimants, Morris Kogan and Harry Lesnow, were awarded damages of $3 900 and $4,O00 respectively.
 The insect, testified Brennan, crawled into his eye while he was driving truck, causing no end of annoyance and inconvenience. In fact, 1t caused him to lose control of his truck, which crashed into a car owned and operated by the plaintiffs.
 Brennan lost a counter claim brought against Kogan, claiming that the latter ought to have real ized something was wrong and should have taken proper steps to avoid the collision.

 Commissioner Connor
Other Big Changes in State Personnel Loom as States Chief Executive Prepares List of AppOintees; G ThOms, LawlOr Included in SpeculatiOns

Judge John M. Bailey of Hart- ford is being strongly backed for the post of statute revision com missioner, which pays $7500. The name of John D. Thoms of Water bury, who formerly held the job, is also mentioned.
 Gov. Hurley has already made plain his intention of dropping Personnel Director William H. Don- ming. His successor will be chosen by the personnel advisory commit tee after examinations.
 Terms of two members of the three-man public utilities commis- sion expire this year and both are slated to be replaced. They are Edwy L. Taylor and Alvan w. Hyde.
 Up to now the governor has maintained an almost complete si- lence about his appointments plans. The single exception was when he told reporters that he had no in- tention of nominating H. Lane Ogle of Woodbury for highway commits sioner. Ogle has been mentioned in Q local paper as @ likely ap- pointee.
 Local Candidates
 Waterbury candidates may figure prominently before the last of ap- pointments is completed. Tn adGi- ton to MT. Thoms as Q possibility for revision commissioner, former Senator Joseph H. Lawlor is be- lieved Q possible appointee to some state post. Other Waterbury names may also figure in the shuffling and reshuffling that will follow the appointments.

Musical Director at Holy Cross College this year, begins his 20th year as conductor of the combined Musical Clubs. In his twenty years on Mount Packachoag, he has seen his clubs grow from an ori- ginal list of applicants of about fifty to the present list of prOs- pective musicians and singers of some 300. He came to Holy Cross from Clark University in 1920. Previous to that time he had been engaged in private coaching and teaching and gained nationwide distinction during first world war when he was commissioned in the quartermasters corps to supervise musical activities in training camps. At the conclusion of the war, he remained in Washington as Director of Music for the Dis trict of Columbia, and began or ganizatiOn of the National Opera Company and the National sym phony Orchestra, the latter now Q famous institution under the baton of Dr. Hans Kinder. To celebrate the signing of the armis- tice, MT. BOuvier was called upon to lead the largest sOngfest ever held in this c0untry-35O,OO0 peo- ple gathered in the Mall to join In songs of praise for the work done by "our boys over there." A picture of this moving event was later carved on 8 monument in Paris graphically depicting the effect Of music on our "boys." MT. Bouvier quite thrilled some years later upon returning to Paris to think that that little object standing on the podium in the center of the picture was no one but himself. Going into his twentieth year as director, he looks back on many pleasant seasons on the hill. From an insignificant beginning, he has seen his clubs grow to a place or prominence among college musical organizations, being the only col- lege group carrying with them a full Philharmonic Orchestra on their trips. They have become Tn such demand throughout the country that two major trips are undertaken annually. The Holy Cross Musical Clubs will be pre- sented here on Monday, April l4' at Buckingham Hall, under the auspices of the Waterbury Under- graduate Club.
