Coop Tour Mixes
 Fun and Education

The Coop picnic this year mixed bit of education with the fun and eats.
 A tour of other local co-operatives gave members and friends an oppor- tunity to see how the farmers do it. At the Hamden Cooperative Poultry Auction, Inc, a few things were learned about how farmers help them selves and each other to market their eggs and poultry most advantageously. The Eastern States Farmers Ex- change at North Haven was another demonstration of cooperation. The Poultry Auction is a producers cco- operative; this is a consumers group in which the farmers have joined to- gether to buy supplies, feed, fertilizers, paints, etc, more economically, and with assurance of high quality.
 The picnic itself at Wharton Brook State Park was featured by games.

 Mir. Casgrain answered MT. Dreissens question on what pow CT the Committee has to prevent such abuses. He said: Federal legislation will be enacted soon which will give the Administra. ton the power to declare an emergency in areas where the local committees have not been able to cope with the situation, and to appoint a rent control ad- ministrator for the area.

WALTER BILL

One measure, the Walter Bill, goes so far as to offer protection to scabs and professional strikebreakers in Federal courts. Before a strike could be called, it would be up to federal court to determine whether com merce would be obstructed. Pending decision, strike would be in con- tempt of court. Scabs could also apply for court action.
 The other bill, the Monroney amendment to the Clayton Anti Trust Act, virtually removes labor's im- munity from prosecution under the antitrust law.
 This measure would permit Arnold to renew his antitrust prosecutions of unions. Up to now, the U. 5. Supreme Court has thrown out all cases dealing with labor's rights which Arnold has sought to label as obstruct-

WHAT Is YOUR DUTY?
BY Ruth Taylor

The keynote of todays requirements sounded the
other day by the Vice President the United States when
he said that must develop Bill of Duties, a bill
which will maintain, revivify, and fulfill the BILL Of
Rights This does not duty to the State but the
duty of every to his neighbor
Duty is old fashioned word - but all the modern
sophsries won't wipe out This country grew up copy
book sayings and reached its heights under who had
had thoroughly dnned into them the plain homey virtues
of loyalty honesty and integrity and the personal appca-
ton of these to their community life
We have wandered far and have too often taken
rights and privileges We must back to the Proverbs TO
the simple statements of right and wrong.
Righteousness exalteth nation; but sin is a
reproach to any people"
He that ustfieth the wicked and he that
condemneth the just, they both are an abomi-
nation to the Lord"
Train up child in the way he should go; and
when he is DID, he will not depart from it."
Buy the truth and sell it not; get wisdom and
instruction and understanding
He that hath no rule over his spirit is
like a city that is broken down and without walls"
They that forsake the law, praise the wicked
but such as keep the law contend with them.
Only by setting up a Bill of Duties for ourselves
obtain the spirit well the letter of the Bill OF
Rights How well do you know this charter of ber
ties Read it over carefully and its clauses into in
ratio. Free press free to speak the truth but
not free to make false statements Free assembly, not to
be used overthrow the government but for free and
friendly discussion Freedom to worship but not to keep
anyone else from worshipping And Each freedom
that is given carries with it its duty or RESTRICTION,
which affects each mans conduct toward his neighbor
To sum up let me quote Mr. Wallace again: I'm a
democracy most of the order and should from
the human heart The perfect order in the world will
when the citizens of democracy recognize in
snctivey and fully ALL of its implications, the father
hood of God the brotherhood of man. and the dignity o
the individual human soul"

Garden Work
Time of Year to Put
Yard in Order for
Pleasing Results

The bright colors Of seed cata-
logues will soon be bringing a spot
of color into many homes to Offset
the drabness of Winter.
In many sections of the country
home owners are already turning
their thoughts to Spring planting.
In more extreme regions it will
be several weeks yet before the
soil shows signs of softening, but
home gardeners everywhere are
approaching the end Of their long
period of Winter activity.
Early Spring is the period OF
greatest activity for most garden
ers. Not only must the soil be pre-
pared and seeds planted but trees
and plants require attention after
the hsrdships of Winter, and 1t is
also the period for transplanting
many shrubs and plants.
Planting is particularly useful
adjunct to the design of a small
house and is encouraged by the
Federal Housing Administration.
Trees and shrubbery add to the liv-
able quality of a property and,
when correctly placed. will enhance
the architectural character of the
house.

Comfort Added
By Insulation

While good construction OF
walls, floors, and roofs and proper
fitting Of doors and windows are
essential, according to the tech
nical advice of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, additional pro-
lection offered by an insulating
material is often recommended.
Properly insulated walls and
ceilings add materially to both
Summer and Winter comfort and
in severe climates often assist In
obtaining reduced heating costs.
Insulating materials on the
market today may be divided into
four classifications.
Flexible insulation is made IN
bait or blanket form and Is placed
between joists. rafters, or studs.
Fill insulation is of a fiber or
granular nature and may be used
to insulate walls and ceilings OF
existing as well as new buildings.
Rigid insulation or board insu-
lstion is applied over structural
members, can be used as wall and
roof sheathing and often for in-
terror wall and ceiling finish.
Experience has proven that each
of these types are effective.
