Hartford, Aug. 19.-Home canning Is likely to become a much bigger part of Connecticut housewives kit chen programs during the next five or six weeks than usual, a Connec- ticut Department of Agriculture a11- noumcement states. This is because there are so many indications that commercially canned fruits and veg etableS are going to be scarcer and higher priced during the year ahead. At the time of World War No. l, home canning increased by large proportions. It appears now as though this experience is going to be repeated this year.
 This leads to the conclusion, that the smart farsighted housewives are going to get their canning work started early; that they are not go- ing to wait too long and then find out too late that the peak of the supply and most favorable price per- iod has passed; or that dealers stocks of glass canning jars and oth- CT canning supplies have been ex- hausted. Dealers in these supplies report that there are ample stocks on hand now to take care of normal or slightly increased needs, but if these present supplies get low before the end of the canning season they anticipate trouble In getting in new supplies soon enough to do any good.
 One dealer suggested that the smart home canners will use the larger sized jars for canning as much as possible. In this way they will be able to put up a greater vol tune for next winters use without depicting the total glass jar supply as much as 1t would be otherwise. If quart jars are used instead of pints. or half gallon sizes instead of quarts this result will be obtained.
 Right now Is the time to get started on a home canning program, thel announcement advises. The height of the Connecticut tomato marketing season is almost here. Commercially canned tomatoes are going to be less plentiful and high- or priced on the shelves Of retail grocers next wintersthan other prod- iicts. This is because of the extra de- litard for all kinds of canned toma- toes, tomato juice, soups and the like for shipnienk to England as part Of tho iease-lerd program. Blnoe to. matoog are one of the easiest and most economical products to can, it ls expected that they viii ba put up ln much sTester volume than usual hyb Connef zein nouneWives during the next faW Ntes' 'in eFder ao bo prepared i1 advance Iof the shogt- eee os eolnEaeF1|N|lI r&tned toma. toes,

BOULDER STRIKES
 INCOMING TRAIN
No Serious Damage Re suits From Accident in
 Local K. K. Yards

A Ioosened rock weighing about 300 pounds damaged the pilot of the Hartford train scheduled to arrive in Waterbury yesterday af- ternoon when 1t rolled onto the tracks from the back yard at 373 Waterville street. This section is being filled in with dirt and stone taken from the excavation of the new Baldwin street bridge.
 A state trooper noticed the rock lodged between the rails at . point several hundred feet north of West Main street and phoned the op- orator of the local office of the New Haven railroad.
 The railroad operator in turn irt- formed Track Supervisor George H. Merrill and Lieut.. J. H. Kings ley of the railroad police who went to the scene.
 The train was already on its way and the two men signaIled the train to slow down but not until the engine struck the stone. Dam- age was slight and railroad off. cials said the pilot of the engine was bent only.
 The obstacle was then removed and the train proceeded and ar- rived without any interruption in its schedule.

ALL CONTRACTORS
 URGED TO ATTEND
Defense Production Clinic 10 Be Held in Hartford
 Thursday

Colonel Samuel n. Fisher. state defense administrator, has requested local defense councils to urge the manufacturers and subcontractors within their jurisdiction to attend the state defense production clinic to be held at the state armory. Hartford, on Thursday beginning at o:SO .a. m.
 The state defense administrator. who with Charles E. ROlfe, chair man of the state development com mission, is acting as co-chairman of the clinic, pointed out that the de- 1ense production clinic is definitely Q part of the state defense program and he is therefore requesting the local councils to urge attendance by their local manufacturers, large or small
 The clinic will bring together more than 600 prime and subcon- tractors for q one-day conference in the stae arnlory drill shed with Governor Robert A. Hurley return ing from ar inspection trip at Fort H. c. Wright, Fishers Island, to make the opening address. Colonel Fisher and . federal government ofdcial will make the only other two addresses to be made at the meet ing.
 Colonel Fisher pointed out to the local defense councils that in send- ing out the invitations for the clinic 1t is probable that through error some fanufacturers and subcontrac- tors might not have received word of the clinic. It is for this reason that he has asked the defense coln. ell members to contact all manu- facturers and call attention to the Thursday meeting in Hartford.

CREWS BURROW ACROSS NATION
 TO LAY GABLE
Line, Fourth Completed, Will Add 60 New
 Channels
px EDWARD CnNKLrN

United Press Stan CorrespOndent) New York, Aug. 10--(UP)--A bur- fed transcontinental cable, designed to speed the requirements of both national defense and business, has been one-fourth completed, with three cable trains working under forced draft to finish the big task by next year.
 Laboring under floodlights att tached to the tractor trains engaged in blowing a 3O-inch deep bed for the steel-encased cable, the work is carried on "A hours a day when ne- cessary.
 The cable system eventually will provide more than 600 telephone channels, almost triple the present number of transcontinental circuits. Also, several channels will be used for telegraph and radio network circuits.
 Work Ahead of Schedule
 Cable laying crews of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph com pany, working in three groups over the prairies and mountains between Omaha and Sacramento, Cal, has averaged more than 40 miles a month and are ahead of schedule. One group, blowing through soft Nebraska farm land, travelled IT miles in a week.
 The cables are buried mainly 30 inches below the surface, although variations in the soil sometimes re- |quire 8 36-inch coverage. After the line has been laid and covered, gas pressure, maintained inside the sheath, is tested to determine pos- stble breaks in the covering. In 5000 Foot Sections
 Splicing crews, following the trac- tor trains, then join the cable at 5000 foot intervals. They have con- nected 125 miles of cable west of Omaha and an additional 60 miles west of the Nebraska Wyoming boundary.
 A special protective covering,
 known as "thermoplastic," composed t,of rubber asphalt and filler, is ap- piled outside the steel easing to com bat soil clements as well as protect
 the cable wires from lightning. ! The cable will supplement several exsiting open wire transcontinental lines and from 50 to 70 telephone circuits will be opened over the com pleted sections between Laramie,
 Wyo., and Omaha by December.

NUTRIENT VALUES
 TOBE EXPLAINED
Interesting Exhibit on Daily Diet to Be Fea-
 tnred Tomorrow

The basic nutritional needs in the daily diet, reduced to simple terms, is the subject of one exhibit at the Annual Field Day of the Agricultural Experiment Statlon at New Haven on August 20th. Guests visiting the exhibit will be given a milneo- graphed page listing seven common foods and their nutrient values. values. These ar mainly products of the farm, easily. available to the housewife and easy to prepare. Used every day in amounts sug- gested, they will satisfy 6 large pro- portion of the recommended food allowance for an adult.
 In making the exhibit, Station chemists have followed a dietary pattern suggested by the National Nutrition Council for Defense. They show the approximate amounts of various vitamins, minerals and pro- teins required to maintain per- son in good condition, and an ex- planatory chart lists foods that carry these. For example, one egg is g source of good prtein, of iron, of vitamin A., riboflavin and thi- aman, says the chart. One citrus fruit or one tomato furnishes the necessary vitaInin c, ascorbic acid.
 Although the seven listed foods, consumed every day, satisfy basic nutritiona1 needs, additional foods must be eaten to complete the cal- Orie requirements. These will pro- vide the balance of the necessary nutrient elements, with the excep- ton of vitannin ID. The average American adult gets his supply. Of vitanlin D from exposure to slln- light.
 Nutrition has long been . branch of study at the Experiment Station. The late pr. T. B. Osborna,s find- mugs in the field of vegetable pro- teins laid the groundwork for many of the modern discoveries on vita nlins and proteirs.
 A Second food exhibit on Field Day will show the percentage of water found in many kinds of food.
 Field Day is the stationss open house to the people of Connecticut. 1t is held at the StationB S0-acre farm at Mount Carmel. Gates are open throughout the day end the staff is on hand to explain experi- n,ents and to discuss farm problems. Tlla. large barn iss converted into \ an exhibit hall and a big tent tg used foE pionlc partlhs and for a tent meeting early ln tho afternoon. The farm is about eight miles north of the New Haven Green, on Ever- green avenue, e branch from Whit- lioy avenue. A sign marks the tuFn-off h tho road.

Probable Scarcity of Commercially Canned Products
 Incentive to Thrifty Women to Make Provisions

now at the peak of its market sup ply. When 1t IS put up, young, ten- der mad fresh, as soon as possible, 1t keeps better and comes out sweet CT than if it is too old or has lost its freshness. Late this month Con- necticut,s first important variety of large canning pears will be plenti- full, the ClappS Favorite. These are not as popular with many canners as the Bartlett which ripenS in early September, but when talSne at the earlier stage of ripeness prove al- most as good canned as the Bart let's.
 Early next month the large free stone Elberta peach crop will be rip- ening in our Connecticut orchards. This variety is the leader in popu- larity among canners. Next to toma- toes, peaches are probably the most canned product on the fruit and vegetable list. The experienced home canner depends on the locally grown, tree e-ripened peaches for stornig in her glass jars for next winters use because she has become convinced that thy come out sweeter and bet- ter favored. This will mean that canning activities will take a sudden squirt in many thousands of Connec- ticut kitchens the fore part of next month.
 Mrs. Marion E. Dakin, Extension food specialist for the University of Connecticut, Storrs, has prepared e new canning bulletin this year which has proven very practical and in great demand. It gives thorough and complete directions for home can- ming of all of our more important fruits and vegetabhels, based on the newest and most recently approved methods. A copy of this bulletin may be obtained by writing to the University, or from any one of the County Farm Bureau offices. With ' copy of this canning bulletin and an early start, housewives of this State will materially cid the National De- fense program by conserving food and ct the same time prevent their food budgets going ID teo inst next winter while giving their families meals they will ;epprseiate. {

AT SITE . OE COLD RUSH
 UP TO COURTS
California Sues to Get Old MarshaIl's Mill Area
 at COIOr1a
BY ELoYD LAPHANr

placerville, Cal., Aug. 1o-(Up)-- The state of California is preparS ing to go to court to acquire title ts the most famous spot in the state-s l the site of James Marshali,s mik where gold was discovered.
 It was in the trailrace Of Mar. shall's mill at Co1ona on tho American river that fleclrg of gole were discovered in January, 18AB The discovery started the floor of gold seekers that reached It's crest in 1840 and 1850.
 The state park commission has negotiated for years for the site, but resorted to condemnation pro- ceedings two years ago when nego- tiations failed. Hearings in the suit are scheduled to begin soon at Placerville, the county seat of Fl Dorado county in whcih Mar shall's mill was located.
 Drury Started Action
 The move to acquire the site wal started by Newton B. Drury, nov director of the National Park Serv. ice, when he was connected WitE the state park commission. Only a stone monument now marks director of the National Park Service, when he was connected Service, when he was connected with the state park commission. Only a stone monument now marks the spot where California's first gold was discovered. State acquisition will mean the site win be improved and tended by state park workers. An effort may be made to reconstruct the mill itself At the time the monument was constructed, parts of the mill were recovered and more remain in the river bed, according to Deputy At- torney General Cunningham who has been handling the case for the state.
 Sold for Unpaid Taxes The site has a history somewhat parallel to that of its first owner. The land was so torn by gold seekers in the early days that 1t was considered worthless for many years and at least once was sold for unpaid taxes.
 Marshall himself made no gain from his discovery. He never made another strike and died peuniless.
 However, modern mining methods recently have brought land ia- to demand again. Until several months ago a derging company also was seeking possession of the site to resift the once golden soil with hydraulic equipment.
 The site is owned by Perley Monroe, a Negro janitor at the state capitol in Sacramento, who bought 1t ten years ago on specu- latiOn.

COUNTRY MORNING

Another sun rolls up the meadows slope And pausing in the hedgerows leafy green, Awaits the heralding of noTn's approach The first faint sounds of days awakening. The rooster takes his cue with confidence And choruses the usual rousing air Till in the house the waiting bedsprings creak, And presently, slow footsteps wake the stair. Low voices murmur as the farmhouse strs; The quiet scatters at doors quick slam. The milk pails clank, and soon the yard gate CLICKS; A skillet whispers of the frying ham, Soon from the barn come echoes of soft sounds A rhythmic quickning, morning roundelay- The ring of milk against the shining pailss The cucking of 8 hen up in the hay When presently the mikman climbs the path, His wife,s light footsteps hasten cross the floor, And while the farmer washes at the pump, The sun, now bold, comes in the kitchen door,

Therefore the eight-poirlt 'swar aims" meeting puts the spotlight on national conference to be held here in the last week of August. Here to the WilliamstoWn Institute of Human Relations, sponsored by the National Conference of Christ ianS and Jews, some 1900 leaders of business, labor, youth, education and religion will come to discuss the specific issues or peace. Considering '"The World We Want To Live h." the Institute Conference will be the first national educational forum on postwar problems to be held in America.
 PEACE AIMS PRESSED
 BY RELIGIOUS LEADERS
 The decision to debate peace prin- ciples at this feyered point in world history, in face of predictions by military and governments experts that the flames of war may not be extinguished tor many years, springs out of the determination, particular ly of religious leaders, to evolve a postwar order more just and en- during than that which followed the World War.
 Almost from the outbreak of hos tilities in Europe, religious groups have been at work to evolve new programs for 8 warless world and to profit from the failures to win the peace after the last war. A Mall vern Conference of Church of Eng land leaders in January discussed the economic causes of war, and condemned the production of ma terial wealth per SC. The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America appointed a commission of 30 leaders whose first report urged a worldwide federation of nations, with not only political powers, but

the right to regulate in some mea- sure international economic activi- ties as well.
 Step by step, church groups here and abroad Catholic, Jewish and Protestant - have been moving toward the formulation Of certain basic peace principles with which they aim to underscore a more stable and equitable world order.
 CHURCH GROUPS WILL
 PONDER POSTWAR WORLD
 The Williamstown Institute of Human Relations enters the picture as a united effort to speed the pro- gress toward specific peace aims" !" For the first time here, Protestants, Catholics and Jews will meet to- gether to ponder the postwar world. Discussions led by some of the best thinkers in various divisions of American life will make the Instt- tute of general, rather than primary religious, interest. District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York will head panel discussing responsibili- ties of Americans in the postwar order.
 Other prominent personalities taking over various phases of the postwar problems include: Nelson A. Rockefeller, Coordinator of Inter American Relations, and five IAtin- American leaders: Congressman Jer- " Voorhis of California; Howard Coonley of the National Association of Manufacturers, A. Philip Ram dolph, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, Mildred Mo- Afee, president of Wellesley College, James N. Rosenberg of the Amer ican Jewish Committee, and Dr. Arthur Compton, Nobel Prize phy- Sicisk. as well as many others.
