DEALERS STUDY
 NEW PROPOSALS
Setup of Facilities for Pas= teurizatiOn Suggested
 for Waterbury

A plan for setting up cooperative paSteurization plant is under consid- eration by Waterbury milk dealers who do not have their own pasteur- ization facilities. A committee headed by Howard s. Coe has been ap- pointed to inspect such a plant in Fitchburg, Mass, and to submit a report and recommendations at a meeting of milk dealers at the city hall next Tuesday night.
 The board of health has set Feb. 1 as the effective date for a new reg ulation requiring that all milk sold in this city must be either pasteurized or come from herds which have been certified after inspection. Morton E. Pierpont, president of the Milk Bot tie Exchange, believes that the board of health will be asked to withhold enforcement of the regulation for a time, to allow the dealers affected to decide on the proposal for CO., operative pasteurization plant.
 Dealers heard the cooperative plan outlined by Dr. Richard Gilyard ot the city health department and Roy NorcroSs, farm bureau agent for New Haven county.
 The health board voted the new regulation after several cases of un- dulant fever had been reporetd here The cases were found to have been caused by milk from COWS afflicted with Bangs disease.

; Randolph Field, Texas, Jan. 24.- When a sleek, silver plane of the United StateS Army comes plum meting out of the clouds, dropping with the speed of a bullet only to shy suddenly away from the earth at 8 low altitude and roar upward again, it seems etheral, as though it were a meteoric robot, performing its maneuver with the precision of machine control.
 But it is not. There is a man in it, guiding its every turn, dive bank or climb. He is young man, pretty nearly perfect physical specimen, alert, intelligent and sure of his craft. He is one of the best pilots in the world and he either is, or has been, Flying Cadet at the Arrny's West Point of the Air" at Randolph Field, Texas.
 The plane can't fly without the young man in it and there is very little about the plane that the young man doesn't know. AS a flying cadet he has done much more than fly the ship. He has seen it torn down and rebuilt, he has studied it's motor and assembly when they were nothing but intricately- drawn lines on blue print. He has gotten its grease on his face and hands and he Is so familiar with it that he has more than likely given it a pet name.
 There are thousands like him and more thousands to come who will see the octagonal pattern of Randolph Field from the air as they take their first dual flight with an experienced instructor. All of these have chosen aviation as career, secure in the knowledge that the army, paying them, housing them and building their bodies with the best in food, is letting them in on the ground floor" and giving them the best education a pilot can have. Brock Putnam, It. Col, Cav. R. O., Q. s. Army Recruiting Station, Capitol Bank Bldg, Hartford, Conn.,, announced today that the air corps needs even more flying cadets to pilot its rapidly expanding force of planes. Young men of Waterbury who wish to apply for wings" in the Air Corps may write to or call upon him or address The Adjutant

IWATTACE Washington Still Doesn't Know Him, but
 " AAArANA This Closeup Will Help Acquaint You

But Wallace is no political innocent after all, he dealt with Congress pretty successfully during his eight years as Secretary of Agriculture and he does like people. Incidentally, one of his best friends is Ed Flynn, chairman of the Democratic Nation al Committee.
 When he first came to Washing ton he disliked of1cial functions. Then he discovered that the end- less round of banquetS, dinner par ties and "at homes" are very im- portant to cabinet minister. Learn this, his intellectual curiosity made him want to find out the how and why of that importance. Since then he has been about as deep in the social round as any member of the cabinet.
 This still hasn't developed his ability to make small talk. They tell of one dinner party at which his hostess saw him sitting in sic lence all through the evening, and despaired that anyone present could make him talk. Finally, though, she saw him in animated conversation with some young sprig. Eager to know what subject had at last stir red his interest, she sidled over-to find Wallace and the young sprig deep in a chat about Iowa hogs.
 Wallace likes many games, but he likes to play them, not to watch them, and hasn't gone to profess sional game as a spectator for years. He plays tennis and badminton, and enjoys long walks. He is fond of picking up new games, but he doesn't go for cards. He reads a great deal, but it's mostly pretty deep stuff - genetics, mathematics, economies, the history of civiliza- tions, comparative religions, and so on.
 His interest in experiments has led him to try out various kinds of diets. When in college he lived for time on soy beans, just to see what the result would be. For a number of years he was a vege- tartan, although he has since given that up.

RY RRuCE CATTON

| Washington, Jan. 24-WaShlngt0n never saw a vice president like Henry A. Wallace before. The town has had eight years to get ac- quainted, but it isn't entirely onto him even yet.
 Vice presidents who get inter- eSted in abstract ideas aren't new, but there never was one who would put his teeth into an idea and shake it to pieces the way Wallace does. A sample is his famous experience with the boomerangS.
 When he was Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace used to walk most of the way to work, leaving his suite in the Wardman Park hotel and swinging down through Rock Creek Park. Jim Le Cron, his as sistant, used to walk with him. To get little exercise as they walked, the two used to carry bag of golf balls, throwing them ahead and picking them up as they reached them. One morning Le Cron showed up with couple of boomerangS to vary the game.
 Wallace not only took to throw ing boomerangs; he got interested in the theory of boomerangs, studied them carefully, drew up air-foil sec- tions and calculated just how a boomerang could be improved. Fi- nally he had some mdae to his own design out of plastic-producing, probably, the most effective boomer ang ever seen. Having done all of this, he lost interest in boomerangs. He had milked the subject of its last drop of intellectual interest and then he was through with it. MYSTIFIES
 POLITICIANS
 His absorption in French poodles { is another angle of the same thing The Agriculture Departments ex- pertinent station at BeltSville, Md. year or more ago set out to inn prove the breed of sheep dogs, cen tering it's attention mostly on Hungarian strain. Wallace heard that the French poodle is one of the most intelligent of all dogs. He veri- fled the theory, saw that this par ticular kind of poodle is rangy long legged animal well out of the ordinary lap-dog class, and imme- diately had number of poodles en- tered in the experiment station! class"
 This work is still in progress arlc still holds his interest. His primary idea of course was to find or de. velop a dog that would be. better helper to the shepherd; but he was also intensly interested in abstrust things like the inheritance of in telligence factors, and he had 8 whole series of cross-breeding ex- periments started-seeking, among other things, to see what sort o1 canine gray matter would result if a French poodle were crossed with ane of the famous Seeing Eye shepherds dogs.
 Wallace is a queer mixture of the abstruse and the intensely practical He is generally looked on as a mys- tic, although his closet friends say he is actually a profound realist.
 Politicians for long time have had him begged as hard man tt talk to. Small talk doesn't com' easily to him. He doesn't drink doesn't play cards, doesn't go hunt ing and fishing, and man wht can't even talk about those thing is likely to strike politicians as 2 queer fish, and bit of highbrov besides.
 On top of this, Wallace has way of concentrating sharply on what ever topic happens to strike his in terest the most. It often happen! that caller will start him on ont

etc. That's all to the good, and we're for the reductions, but isn't it about time to get some straight figures on costs? "UnOfficiaP fig ures put the price of poles at $S and claim the power company charges $50. Twenty-Five years ago we got better than $S apiece for chestnut poles, on the stump. A telephone pole is worth more than $8 just for firewOod or char coal
 The same story carried tht news that a light line could be built for $500 a mile. Well, stretching them, there will be at least 12 poles to the mile. Poles don't grow; they have to be set and labor costs are heavy. Wire is higher since we decided to save the British Empire. $500 wouldn't much more than start a mile Of line.
 Want a fur coat cheap? We know a fellow who writes: {. have just lost a horse, which makes 4 horses I have lost in l VT. account of w. F. A. have to get another horse. Well am absolutely broke. Now that is a good Black Horse skin. Would you like to buy it to have Fur over coat made?" Address fur nished on request.)
 Losing four horses in a single year is nothing short of calamity, what with horse prices rising and the army buying and all. Maybe he should start an investigation about the extermination of live stock? Anyway, it seems unfair to kill of a poor farmers stock.
 Horsehide OvercOats are warm and tough. This pelt should be bought before warm weather, tanned properly, and made ready for the tailor. If the man is lab sOlutely BrOke," perhaps some body would like to buy 1t to ship to a British cousin? That would solve two problems. It would help out our man and straighten out the clothing problem for some body in England who needs assist ance. Charity begins at home.

port the same thing. Just the oth- CT day, we heard from a motOrist who stopped off in Texas. The hotel man saw the Connecticut markers and asked, "Y0u, wouldn't be from the Squaw Rock Country, would yOu?" Our man grinned like sunrise and allowed that he came from that vicinity.

George says that many of the new barracks down South are made of brick. That's funny. Up here the building is mostly of wood, usually timber hauled in from the South or the West Coast. Perhaps they're plan ming things so the railroads get break, too. But if Dixie gets brick barracks, why doesn't New Eng land? Probably another redistri- button of wealth or some more of that planned economy. Anyway, we're glad it's cold in Florida. Maybe we can sell that horsehide to a frOstbitten bathing beauty.)
