 ity like this takes on such obli- gations blindly, it's about time to start an adult educational pro- gram.
 Fifty-nine people out of a popu- Iation of 1896 attended the meet ing that tossed debt burden of $50,00O over the village like a fleet of hostile bOmbers on destruction bent. In other words, about 4 per- cent of this township voted the other 96 per cent into Al BOnd- age. (And then we talk about de- lending democracy and represen- tative government for the people and by the peOple.)
 We haven't even discovered whether those bonds are going to be green-backed, yellow backed, or embossed in purple. We haven't an idea in the world as to what the interest rate will be. Our own town lawyer came to the meeting with a briefcase crammed with data about the statutes governing bonded indebtedness and the Four per cent voted to engage a Hart ford law firm to advise as to whether we were within our rights as municipality in making this drastic commitment that may en- slave our grandchildren. Smoky Jenson said that he understood that the bonds would be issued in time to let folks invest in them before the federal income tax was due, but we aren't even sure about that. It was something like milk meeting in which all hands sign up on contracts and then don't know what their milk check may be.
 This Town Meeting was held at the Community Hall, where some bcdy thOughtfully lighted a lamp down cellar so that folks would get the visual impression that heat might eventually be expected. If there was any fire in the furnace, it must have been very small, i'm deed, because people who forgot to wear felt boots complained of cold extremities and First Selectman J. Edward COer HI had such bad cold he couldn't talk.
 Our Preacher, who generally acts as moderator, was visiting that fellow who built the garage in his front yard. The Padre went to Grand Opera, we hear, but Miss Hubbell, assistant town clerk, was an efficient moderator. The meet ing came to order under the call by MT. Coer who experienced con- siderable difficulty with his respir- ation during the reading of the call.
 Noteworthy for their absence were folks from Squaw Rock, She- paug, Paradise, The Purchase, Georges Hill, KettletOwn, Saw Teeth, and Bates Rock. The Pur- chase folks had 8 good alibi. All the school kids at Purchase Hill School are mighty sick with pOis- Oning from sumach burned in the schOOlhouse stove. The old folks had to stay home to change band ages. POOtatuck, Bullet Hill, and StrOngt0wn had the biggest repre- sentatiOn at the meeting.
 First off, it was explained that the town had purchased lands, (about 8 acres), on Poverty ave- nue and Old Field Road, just bit northwest of the piggery, west of the bull barns, and not too far from the Oak Tree. The price paid for this land was $250O, good price when one considers that the river frontage went to another buyer. There is no water on the property but an artesian well might fetch in enough for ordin- ary usage. The land is level and there are but few trees. Grading will be easy, if the new location of U. s. 6 doesn't split the plot in two.

plyWood has an extremely high
strength and stiffness for its weight.
English designers are reported to
be using it with excellent success
for sparS and girders, wing and
fuselage covering, tail surfaces and
braces, leading edges of wings, fair
ings. bomb-bay doors and airplane
nose sections.
One of the disadvantages that
has been imputed to plyWood, but
quite erroneously," Mr.. Perry said,
was its tendency toward inf1am-
inability. 1t is perfectly apparent
that the major hazard in flight is
the gasoline fuel If this becomes
ignited at any point, it matters
little whether the plane is of fabric,
plyWood, wood, or metal, for the
results are equally disastrous. Ex-
perience has changed opinion on
this point. due partly to better safe
guards against fire, and it is no
longer considered an unfavorable
factor =" ="
Other advantages are the fact
that plywood wing and fuselage
coverings offer less wind resistance
than metal with conventional rivet-
ing, and the fact that plywood has
less tendency than metal, to tear
when hit by anti-aircraft shrapnel
or explosive shells. Repairing dam
aged plywood coverings is accom-
plished quickly at British Royal Air
Force fields by cementing thin wood
sheets over the holes. Newly de-
veloped resins which are said to
be stronger than the wood itself
make this possible.

Speeding up of Warplane produc-
ton by using new types of plywood
bonded with modern plastics instead
of metal to relieve shortages of
aluminium and to permit the use of
available trained woodWorkers has
been proposed to defense officials
and the aircraft industry.
British aircraft plants already
turned to new methods of wood con-
struction to eliminate laborious
riveting and because of metal and
labor shortages. In this country,
new all-plyWood training airplane
has passed its performance trials
and now is in production. This
plane, the Fletcher FBT-2, is de-
signed for primary military or Civil
Aeronautics Authority training for
beginners. With a large engine, it
may be used for basic military and
advanced training.

Old Faults Eliminated.
New synthetic resin adhesives
have eliminated the old faults of
laminated wood construction and
have changed opinions of aircraft
engineers concerning the usefulness
of wood in modern plane cOnStruc-
tion, according to paper by Thomas
D. Perry, chemical development
engineer, of Philadelphia, published
by the Institute of the Aeronautical
Sciences in its journal.
Laminated wood is known to have
been in use as early as 1900 BIC.
and it was widely used in World
War planes. Lack of adhesive which
would resist rain, snow, subzero cold
and fungus growths, however, pre-
vented further development of its
use until very recently, when strong
waterproof and fungusproof resin
adhesives became available and new
machines for production Of plyWood
aircraft parts were developed, Mr.
Perry pointed out.
Such advances as the use of
diathermy for setting resin ad-
hesives, machines that eliminate the
old taped joints, devices to form
curved parts of great strength, and
the use of huge presses to compress
or "alloy" laminated hardwoods
we're cited by Mr.. Perry as con-
tributing to the rebirth of wood
as an aircraft material.

A. The losses that the Nazis have
inflicted upon British and Allied
shipping have certainly attained
serious proportions. Unless the
British can get most of the war
materials which they so greatly
need from us, and get them quickly,
Britain may be open to defeat.
@. How can the conquered peoples
organize on their own soil any sort
of effective revolt when they have
no arms or means of getting them?
DIR. B. KOPSTEIN,
Chicago.
A. Conquered peoples cannot or
ganize armed revolt, but they are
already organizing sabotage of vari-
GUS kinds in most of the occupied
countries. AS the NaZis' lines of
communication become more and
more extended this increasing
sabotage is likely to do a great deal
to slow up Hitler's armed forces.
In another year or two, if the war
goes on, Britain should have an
army of 100000 or more veteran
troops. Wherever she lands an eX-
peditionary force she will find mil
lions of men in the conquered coun-
tries waiting for arms and burning
with desire to use them against the
NaZiS. l think Hitler has trans
formed Europe into an enormous
recruiting ground for armies of
liberation for tomorrow.
@. In your articles you twice stated
that in case Hitler fails to conquer
Britain he may turn against the
Russian Ukraine and the Caucasus.
How would you explain his fighting
on two fronts?
M. SARKISTIAN,
Chicago.
A. Hitler will only fight on two
fronts if circumstances force him
to do so, as he may shortly do in
regard to Greece or Turkey. If Hit
Ter cannot conquer Britain he has
got to conquer somebody for home
consumption. AS l have said, the
Ukraine promises the easiest and
richest conquest that now remains
anywhere within Hitler's reach.
@. Is it true that Greece-like
Germany and Italy-is also under
military dictatorship? Why doesn't
Greece permit wholesale occupa-
ton Of Salonika by British forces?
Will Turkey help the valiant Hell
lenes resist Nazi advances? How
can Greece win her struggle for in
dependence?
PETER C. LATSIS,
Chicago.
A. Yes. Greece has a dictatorship.
But oddly enough the very large
group of Greek republicans have
buried all their political differences
in order to fight against the in
vader. Until recently both Greeks
and the British have been exceed
ingly cautious about sending British
troops into the Salonika area be-
cause they did not want to provoke
a German military Intervention. l
believe Turkey will certainly fight
to defend her own territory and it
also seems that she is more and
more alive to the fact that small
countries must fight while they have
allies, rather than wait to fight
alone. The only way the Greeks
can hope to win their struggle for
independence is to keep fighting
