STATE COMMENDED
 FOR HEALTH PLAN
Medical Societies Pay Tribute to Conservation
 of Man Power

New Haven, Conn, July 0.-Na. tional recognition Is being given to Connecticut'S extensive program for safeguarding the health of workers in defense industries. The Journal of the American Medical Associa- ton comments editorialiy on the pamphlet, Conservation of Man Power in Connecticut, distributed by the Connecticut Manufacturers As- sociation and The Connecticut State Medical Society.
 The American Medical Association says that the plan 1s an example of "civic and professional leadership and a far reaching experiment in public relations" The booklet was prepared by 6 group of fifty leaders in Connecticut industry and physi- clans interested in factory medicine. This joint committee will continue in advisory capacity in matters of workers health.
 Every plant manager in the state is invited to discuss the health problems of his plant with this joint committee and to discover, through their advice, means of meeting his problems. Working side by side with the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene in the State Health Department, this consulting service makes accessible to the Connecticut industries the best and most valuable advice. An expected effect" says the Journal of the American Medical Association, should be the creation of c much wider demand for competent indus. trial medical service based on ade- quate standards, ethically and scien- tifically."
 The booklet issued by the Manu- lecturers Association and the State Medical Society deals with the phy- sical examination and supervision of employees, suggests . program for unemployment physical examin- ations from time to time during the course of employment to facilitate the early detection of physical dis abilities.
 In dealing with the subject of or- ganization o2 health supervision in factories, recommendations are made as to the minimum standards of service that should be applied and suggestions for extension as condi- tions warrant. There is an increas. ing demand for medical service to industry in plants of all kinds and sizes, for 1t is well realized that ma chimes cannot be kept in operation without men to operate them and actually one of the great slow-upe in industry comes from time lost through illness. The Connecticut plan aims to reduce this time losa and to keep the machines going

On July 5th, Newton Post, Vet- erans' of Foreign Wars, holds dance at the state Training School. Andy Knox furnishes the music and Tony.the Barber will lead the grand march, unless someone captures him first and ties him up. Come down and see a real town enjoy itself. Bring the best girl and the kiddies. It will be worth the price of admission alone just to see Tony waits. (Eae claims it's . walty, but we haven't amy proof that the step iS pro- perly identified.)
 During the recent wave of thunderstorms, one sympathetic rural matron invited her friend to come over to spend the night whenever the thunder rolled. "1e sure and come," she said; And bring your own sheets" Economy is Q rare virtue.
 When you feel wObbly and think you cannot stand this heat for even one more day, just crank up the car and drive over to Good Hill to see Percy Beardsley and Cap harvesting timothy and red- top. Cap wears 8 beard to keep from getting sunburned. Percy wears dark colored jersey. The DevOns wear their usual mahogany hides.
 Pitching hay, moving away, cutting out the fence corners, or just raking after will tax the sta- nina of a city person no end. These country folk flourish on that diet. City people pray for after noon showers to cool off the air. Farmers don't want any showers at all until the last load is in and moved away.
 The old fashioned method of moving with scythe is passe. Only a few men like the Boards leys and Charley Miller have re- tained the art. Today, moving machines with tractor power are the rage. The old way made bet- ter hay.
 We haven't heard anything about that cedar-tree-cutter- down at Flat Hill Farms this year. May be the machine is worn out, or maybe all the cedars are cleared from the hill pastures?
