Teeple. chairman of the publicity for the Christmas doorway competi- ton, today reminded that the gar- den department of the Naugatuck Woman's club will again sponsor the Christmas doorway contest this year and 1t will be open to all resi- dents of Naugatuck who wish to en- ter. Mrs. Stephen Sitar will be general chairman. Complete de- tails of the competition will be published early next week.
 Conservation rules will be fol- lowed in this project and the fol- lowing must not be used; laurel, holly, black alder, partridge berry, winter green, ground pine, club mess and running pine. The last three are commonly known as princess pine," and are important ground covers. They require a very long time to develop from spores so that when they are torn up by the roots they may never return. Ground covers are essential for keeping moisture in the ground and have an important role to play in times of little rainfall. Attention is called to the fact that bitter sweet is fast disappearing in Con- necticut, and entrants are asked not 10 use It in their decorations.

The cage has been placed near the ahed and lettuce and other fruits have been placed within 1t. About in the middle of the cage is metal plate and if Bongo touches this the cage door will slide down and Bongo will be trapped.
 Shortly after the cage was put in place, Bongo showed interest in 1t and its contents. There was Q blanket in the cage and Bongo Sdled cautiously to the entrance, but fooled watchers by reaching in and grabbing the blanket.
 He then climbed up on the shed beams and occasionally stared at the cage but hadn't ventured near 1t again up to li:30 this morning.
 Ready to Walt
 But Mfr. Hardesty Is a patient man and that's why Bongo's doom Is sealed. The Humane society repre- sentative Is prepared to wait sev- eral days uutil Bongo feels that the cage is pust Q part of the yard equipment. Sooner or later, Hard- esty feels, Bongo will walk con- temptuously into the cage ana spring the trap.
 When this happens an attempt will be made to find the owner of the concession ct the carnival from which Bongo escaped, Mir. Hardesty said. The carnival does not own Bongo, but the man who rented this concession does, and ct present his whereabouts are not known.
 Hay Go ln Eco
 IT efforts to find him are fruit less, Bongo will be placed in a zoo And if he gets there, he will prob- ably tell the other inmates of hiS wanderings here. one resident to- day said that Bongo Is anti-admin- istration in that h is strongly against freedom of the seize."
 Bongo first located near the School street extension in the woods and later was fed near the section. A few, weeks later he went to tn Walnut Terrace, Park avenue sec- ton and then even went farther south. However he soon returned to the Union City section and has been living royalty at the coal com pany,s shed.
