New Logging Bill
Gets Senate o. X.

A bill affecting logging, sponsored
by a group of legislators including
c. G. Mann of Hinckley, was passed
by the state Senate the past week
after a successful journey through
the House and now goes to the Gov
ernor for approval.
The bill which would make il
more difficult to market logs and tim
Der taken without proper authorize
ton provides that all logs and tim
bers being transported must be
marked with the description of the
land where they were cut or with
registration number that will indi-
cate where the material was OBJ
tanned. Violation of the act would
be made a misdemeanor subject to
fine or Imprisonment and a second
offense would draw a heavier fine
or Imprisonment or both.

Doctor Eyes Business Man

Analysing the modern business
man, DR.. Edward v. Allen of the
Mayo clinic has found a number of
things wrong. He says the modern
business man doesn't have enough
fun, eats too much, has short tenn
per, high blood pressure and carries
his troubles home to his wife. DR..
Allen pictures many executives
heading toward apoplexy or a pro-
tracted heart ailment. He sug-
gests that the business men of the
nation work less, learn how to play
sanely outside the office, become in
terested in hobbies, take more vaca-
tons, lie in bed at least one morn
ing a week and curb ambition.
Most business men know what is
the matter with them without going
to a doctor, but few of them are
in a position to do anything about it.
They have, in the modern vernacu-
lar, a bear by the tail. They can't
let 60. They must 60 on.

DR.. Simon Speaks.

DR.. Joseph Simon occupied the pull
pit of the Danish Lutheran church
Sunday evening for two hours and
kept the undivided attention of his
audience throughout. The advance
favorable reputation was fulfilled in
every respect. DR.. Simon did not
have any sensational late news events,
but rather in quiet and impressive
manner told of the conditions as they
existed Immediately before and aft
er the memorable date-April 9th,
1940-at which time he was in Den
mark.
He gave a clear mental picture OF
the dark side as well as the bright
side; the sad part and the humorous
incidents; his views on the economic
future of Denmark; what will happen
if Germany wins the war and what
will happen if England wins-in
either event it will take Denmark a
decade to recover from its economic
losses; farming conditions, labor con-
ditions; censorship and other facts
and figures as well as his belief in a
brighter future for Denmark.
Following the two-hour lecture re-
freshments were served in the base
ment where DR.. Simon answered a
number of questions.

NO LAY-OFFS
 JUST TRANSFERS

Tn response to rumors to large. scale lay-offs at the Scovill Mfg O., because of the shortage of some much-needed materials, Alan O.. Curtis, assistant to the general man? ager of the company, explained that the lack of materials had caused more transferring of personnel than actual layoffs.
 He admitted that there had been layoffs in some cases, but asserted that the situation could not be viewed as alarming. MT. Curtis pointed out that the factory is op- erating three-shift basis, with llp- wards of 4,O0O employees, and that to obtain the maximum output it had been necessary to shift workers from one of the plants mills to another. Some of the plants, he admitted, I have in consequence had to curtail their production.

Daniel Lasky of Middlebury made an unexpected visit almost in his own back yard Sunday morning when the plane he had purchased only a few days ago cracked up of Watertown road,

Bend- Ter said when LaslSy bought the plane, he flew the craft to Boston and back.
 Lasky has six months of flying at Bethany airport to his credit and holds solo flying license.
