Boy Scout Week To
 Stress Preparedness
Troops Here and Throughout the Nation Ready for
 Any Emergency That Might Arise

Cognizant of the necessity for Americans to be ready to act in telligently and efficiently in times of emergency both in peace and in war, the Boy Scouts of America are looking forward to future service opportunities. Each Boy Scout un- dergoes intensive training designed to ready him for effective action when cool-headed thinking is need ed.
 Boy Scouts are cooperating with American Red Cross and Commun- ity Chest authorities in the distri- button of literature for public safe ty education. They serve, whep practicable, as aids to police depart ments at large gatherings. Local f1rt departments seeking to eradicate community fire hazards make us' of Scouts in their fight against waste.
 With an eye to the United States national defense program, Seoul troops in many communities have mobilized to map and chart local counties to determine sources of surplus food supply and secure oth- CT data for the information of de- fense authorities.
 The whole program of the Move ment is built around the Boy Scouts motto: "Be Preparedl"

MARINES SEEK
 TEN RECRUITS
Special Authority Given Sergeant George Beck,
 Recruiting Officer

The first ten eligible young men who apply for enlistment at the U. s. Marine Corps recruiting office in the Post Office will be sent to Paris Island, s. C., as members of the volunteer marine corps reserve. Authority to enroll ten recruits was received here Saturday by First Sergeant George A. Beck, local re- cruiting officer.
 Sergt. Beck announced that the same standards and qualifications govern the enlistment of these men in the marine corps reserve that apply to enlistments in the regular marine corps, and that their train ing, duty and opportunities for pro- motion will be the same as for men enlisted in the regular service. It is definitely stated that these men may be discharged from the reserve at later date for the purpose of enlisting in the regular marine corps, if and when the marine corps is enlarged.
 It will be recalled that the marine corps has been recruited up to its full authorized strength for some two months past and that as re- suit, first enlistments in the regular marine corps have been upon a destricted basis. However, there is still authority for additional enlist ments in the volunteer marine corps reserve, which enlistment provides for service of a period of four years during war or an emergency declar- ed by the President.
 Young men with no previous mil itary training are sought, between the ages of IS and 30, unmarried and without dependents. Citizens of the United States, and of good phy- sique and character.
 Sergt. Beck requests that any local young men now carried upon current waiting lists for enlistment in the regular marine corps desir- ous of taking advantage of this op- portunity for immediate enlistment and assignment to active duty, con- tact the marine corps recruiting of- flee, at room 209, post office build inp

To do its part toward strengthen ing and invigorating democracy the Boy Scout movement will during Boy Scout Week (February 7-13) reflect the national mood of the United States by readying its mem bers for instant and effective action.
 Scout troops in this community and through the country have pre- pared plans to quickly mobilize Scouts in the event of local or na- tional crisis. These trops can often assemble their entire membership of high school age youth within one hour. Tests conducted by the local Scout councils all over the nation have indicated that the majority of communities can assemble their Boy Scouts in less time than any other group of similar size.
 Pointing to numerous past emerg- encies, most notably the New Eng land hurricane of 1888, Scout off Icials are justiflabl::- proud of the long list of services rendered by these 12 to 16-year-old boys during disasters. Scouts, quickly cooperat- ing with the relief agencies in charge of rescue work, have per- formed yeoman duty. They served as orderlies and messengers, as well as conduct accurate censuses of damages following floods and storms, making relief work more valuable and eliminating waste ef- fort.
 Refugees look to these boys in the khaki suits and bright neckerchiefs for aid in emergencies. Scouts dis tribute food and aid in registering and identifying refugees. In times of distress thousands of handbills pointing out vital needs are quickly distributed by Scouts.

sites. MT. Hadden said that a ten- tative layout has been prepared by David T. Larson of New Britain and a sketch made by N. Rocks Parks, of West Hartford.
 The super-h highway, passin g through seven states, would be 12 lanes wide. From New England it would lead to the George Washing ton Bridge, then follow a straight line to Philadelphia and Washing ton. The plan is said to be favored by National defense experts be- cause of tn additional links it would provide with defense factories in New England.
 MT. Hadden's bill is before the house judiciary committee of the General Assembly. The dominant Republican membership on this com- mittee will make it possible to hold an early hearing on the measure.

It's crime what they do with peanuts. Enough to make even elephant cry, They smash them up something scandalouS They use them in pie Food freaks wrack their brains, It's enough to make spirits droop When they give the peanut such shelacKlng, Why I've heard they them in soup. Now back in the days when boys were boys Peanuts fresh roasted in the shell Satisfied most anyone, But somehow the peanut fell Into a general dietetic class Where food fanciers do their worst In stuffing fish in casserole With peanuts nothing more accursed. The loWly peanut never asks much, Doesn't feel at all exalted, Just to be roasted up light brown, Or shucked and tastily salted.

 Garden seed peddlers will soon be pushing their goods in little towns like this. The Shakers sold the first packaged garden seeds right here in Connecticut, in 1902, despite the claim from New Hampshire that their Enfield shakers started in 1795 .. the New Hampshire colony was an offshoot of our Enfield Shaker Village, started by Joe Meachani in 1780, and they took their orders direct from our Shakers. Joe even insisted that the New Hampshire folks name their outfit the same as ours. Enfield. There's prison farm there now.
 Talking to the young men Ot today, it's hard to believe that from Woodbury township alone some 15O0 stalwart cOuntrymen served with the Continental Line, and that great stores of ratiOns and heavy funds poured from the Pomperaug Country to secure lib erty for this country that only a few men now think is worth de- lending.
