Watson, na- tional chairman for art week, will be invited as well as several other members of the national couAcil.

 On the lists used by the executive council there are approximately 1000 names of artists who will re. cetve booklets of instructions from the various local chairmen.

things might have been different, but more trouble arose. After los- ing his prize COW, MT. Weisner complained that he was taking 1t on the chin financially because friends and relatives of Mir. Flynn were getting large quantities of milk and cream but not paying for them.
 That wasn't part of the contract, he argued. Mir. Flynn didn't agree but, somewhat unexpectedly, sold the herd and then the crops. Then he had & dispossess notice served upon his superintendent.
 COW ARGUMENT
 GOES TO COURT
 Mir. Weisner argued that the herd was valued at about S4600 and the crops at about 5000. Further more, he said, he was half-owner Of the herd under terms of the con- tract, despite the fact MT. Flynn owned all of them originally.
 As for the crops, the SS-year-old superintendent said he purchased the seed himself and raised them with the aid of his wife. As Q result, he contended, Mir. Flynn had no right to sell them.
 Subsequently, when the evlc. ton notice was served, Mir. Weisner and his family refused to move out. He said his contract, an oral agree- ment, doesn't expire until tho end of

Abnormal Drought Of Past Month Emphasizes Value Of Farsighted Program Record Broken
 In Hartford Area

m commenting on the effect oi rainfall ori public water supplies, the weekly bulletin of the state depart- ment of health says that periods of abnormal drought serve to bring out the value of initiating farSight- ed programs of water supply ell- largement before the need is dem- onstrated by actual exhaustion of the supply. A review of rainfall rec urds in Hartford shows that the combined September and October rainfall this year was less than in any year since 1897. The depletion of 6 water supply creates a serious health hazard.
 Under date of September 29, l94l, the department forwarded to all public water supply officials Q letter which pointed out that:
 .Connecticut's public water sup plies as whole are in a good posi- ton to withstand such droughts as we have been recently experience irg due in large part to the fore- siEht of those in charge of the in- dlvidual supplies. However, unless rainfall soon occurs it is likely that

 English Books Stocked
 Bookstores have stocked large supplies of English books and weeks old London newspapers to meet the heavy demand. Best sell- CTS are the works of P. G. Wode- house, mystery novels and T Found No Peace" by the late Webb Miller, United Press war corre- spondent.
 Postcard sales have been so heavy that 1t is difficult to find views of Reykjavik and famous landmarks, The supply now con- giSts largely of on Iceland pony standing on Q hill and James Gag ney in Q cowboy suit.
 A treeless. drab city of concrete and corrugated Iron buildings Reykjavik suddenly became an inc ternational host at an. enbarrass- Ing moment, since many of it's streets were torn up for the inc stallation of pipes to bring water from nearby hot springs into 'citywide steam heating project The pipes were a casualty of war however, and never left the dock In Denmark.
 The streets were filled up in the best manner possible, but the in' cessant pounding of large British and American army trucks aug mented by heavy rains--has made them muddy washbonrdS.
 British and American military police direct traffic and patrol the sidewalks to arrest unruly soldiers. Dispatch carriers whir through town on motorcycles left drive American automobiles and right-drive British cars have miraculous escapes from collisions and taxi drivers wheel their cars through the narrow streets with the abandon of New York cabbies on Park avenue.
 Transportation demands are 60 great that 1t is not an uncommon sight to see American army nlajori hitch.hiking rides to and from the city.

effect will be felt on (D supplies derived from reservoirs or streams with little storage above ground and dependnet to a considerable ex- tent on feed from underground springs; (2) well supplies: and (S) supplies with large storage but rela. lively small tributary watershed. Of course, the last mentioned supplies may have water to tide tn c m throueh for some months but face further serious depletion If winter and spring run-off is much below normal. Industrial use of water m many of our localities has greatly increased and may further increase so that comparison with past droughts may not tell the whole story.
 "Without wishing to be alarmists, the state department of health would like to say word of caution Some authorities have already Tloti- fled their consumers to curtan un- necessary use of water and such steps are needed in some instances. Consideration as to possibilities or use of auxiliary supplies should be given well in advance of actual eill" ergencies,"
 1t was also pointed out that be. ginning in July, 1940, rainfall began to drop below normal, and that tak- ing Hartford as an example, the rainfall since the beginning of July i94O had been below normal in every month except November, 194O and June and July of this year. In Oc- tober the rainfall throughout the state was again seriously deficient The accumulated rainfall deficiency below normal in Hartford from July 1, lo40 up to November l, ls4l was l4.06 inches.
