Precisely how important is
this West, who has made its

The first, "Vanguards of the

second outstanding volume on
the west and precedes in time
the caller "Sod House From
tier" published in 1897. Whereas
the "Sod House Frontier" cover
ed the Northern Plains from
about 1884 to 1890, the new VOL
ume is q social histo-J of the
Northern Plains and the Rocky
Mountains from the earliest
white contacts to the coming of
che homemaker.
It is rich with the lore of the
mountain men, miners, cowboys.
freighters, and lumberjacks. But
its good stories in no sense de-
tract from q sound scholarship
and the result is q book fully as
absorbing and thorough as its
earlier companion. You will find
in It practically every topic of
frontier life from the character
istics of the Texas Longhorn and
stories Of the long days on the
cattle trails north to life on west
ern waters during the era of
"woodhawks" and the thriving
Missouri steamboat trade.
Good scholars also, Professors
Rister and Hafen are equally
thorough but they begin with
Coronado, De Soto, De Vaca,
cover the beginning of the
Southwest. They 90 on to dis
cuss the Indian wars, traders,

ing Of the homemaker.

that Miss Gardiner Is more OF

Now she recreates these

that he shut up and refused to

This time, the actor said peo-

clear: AS with the first donation,
none of the money will leave this
country, and none will be used to
buy combative materials. It's all

American grown food and medi-

 The city originally planned to ask for grant toward the pipe line costs but after a series of consultations with federal officials it was decided that this would involve too much delay. After competitive bidding. the pipe line contract was awarded to the Lock Joint Pipe Co, of Am- pere, N. J., which is already started on the work.
 Mayor Scully said today that EVA representatives became so familiar with the local water situation dur- ing the series of conferences that he believes few if any additional meet ings with them will be necessary m connection with the application.
 The application, sent by mall to Washington, is accompanied by vol- luminous data about the needs for the expansion of the water system, par ticularly in view of this city's tm- portant role as a defense manufac- turing center.
 The legislature this spring author ized the city to issue $2,OOO. 900 in bonds for the water project. Half the authorized amount has been sold, and granting by the govern ment of $600,O00, or any stzeable sum would mean a large saving for local taxpayers since only part of the additional bond authorization would have to be used.

As vacations end and families arrange to leave their summer homes plans should also be made for the care of the pet which may not be wanted, it was stated today by J. Seth Jones, General Manager of the Connecticut Humane Society.
 MT. Jones said that each year many pets are deserted by people who no longer care to keep them. Usually they are cats which when the summer began were cute and attractive kittens but by September their appeal has disappeared and so are abandoned.
 Deserted cats MT. Jones contin- Ved, struggle for a meagre existence or possibly die 8 narrowing death during the cold winter months. They also prey on birds and smaller ani- mals as an only way to keep alive.
 If anyone has a pet which he wishes to get rid of the one decent and humane thing to do would be to call the Humane Society. Agents will quickly and mercifully dispose of the animal. MT. Jones also men, tioned that cruel abandonment of an animal is a criminal offense and punishable by law.
