Tn making up the program for the Diamond Jubilee session of the Na- tional Grange, opening at Worcester. Mass. November 12, and continuing ten days, much emphasis this year will be put upon the patriotic side, and already plans are under way which will very clearly identify the Grange organization with the finest type of American ideals and action.

Lexington, Bum ker Hill, the old Massachusetts State House, Duxbury, Plymouth and Newport. At each of these points brief stops on he trip will be made and at one of the old churches of Lexington Sunday morning service will be held, attended by the entire body of Grange officers and dele-. gates and certain to be an inspiring patriotic occasion.
 On Monday, November 11, midway in the Worcester session, comes the biennial election of officers Of the National Grange, an event of keen interest for the entire Grange meIia- bership of the country. inasmuch as the national leadership of the ore ganization for the coming two years will be determined at that time.

ORANGE STREET MAN
 GIVEN SUSPENSIO

Michael Lacondrata, .s2, of l4l Orange street, Waterbury, had his case reopened Saturday when he appeared before Judge Holleran in the West Haven town court. His bond of el00 was called about a week ago when he failed to appear on charges of drunkenness and breach Of the peace. Judge Holleran granted his request when 1t appear ed that Lacondrata misunderstood the date of the detcFment.
 Mrs. L.acondrata testified that she and her husband visited the Thompson Showboat last week and that her huslzud became bellicose without proyocstion, striking her in the face.
 Lacondrata made no statement to the court as to the reason of his act and after the testimony was completed the court entered sus- pended sentence of l0 days in jail. The intoxicatiCn charge was sus- pended.

tive list already made up includes. Secretary of Agriculture Claude K Wickard; Albert s. GoSs, former Federal Land Bank Commissioner 1: Governor Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts and probably other New England Governors, most of whom are members of the Grange. United States Senators Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., and David I. walsh of Massachusetts, and George D. Aiken of Vermont, are also expected to be heard during the session at Worces- ter; likewise, Wheeler McMillen of Philadelphia, widely known because of his activities in farm products re- searchand experimental work.
 All the New England State Oranges have completed their lists for holding special sixth degree meetings this fall in anticipation of the great Seventh Degree event at Worcester on Friday, November l4. These special sessions will be widely distributed over the respective states and most of them will be held dur ing the month of October. although a fewk will occur in September. Connecticut has already held one session and a good index of the Seventh Degree interest in that state Is found in the fact that at Meriden. on the hottest night of teh summer so far, 37B sixth degree candidates were initiated, while nearly 600 oth- CTS looked on at the impressive ritualistic ceremony. Large classes are also certain at the two regular State Grange sessions scheduled previous to the National Grange meeting in Worcester - Vermont, the third week in october ct Hur- lingt0n, and Massachusetts tho fol- lowing week at Worcester.

O. council yesterday ct the head quarters of the Waterbury Brass Workers union, 05 Bank street. More than 800 representatives, members of l2 internationals, were present from ell parts of the state.
 The principal other union pro- gram adopted was one calling on employers of the state to open em- ployment opportunities to Negroes. It was eclaimed that colored men and women are barred from eHn- ployment in many plants, and in others are allowed to act only os laborers.
 Morning and afternoon confer- ence sessions were held. The union members and members of auxiliar- ies and o. I. O. youth groups were welcomed to Waterbury by John J.

venturer in business and the air, was one of gliding's first Amer. ican advocates. He was tireless in his efforts to further the cause, and earned the title of father of gliding and soaring in the U. S." To urge that the government adopt glider training for its ser. vice pilots, he recently has ap- peared before Congressional corn- mittees.
 The late William Eaton, mil- lionatre aviation enthusiast, organ ized the Soaring Society of Amer ica, provided the flight facilities at Hraris Hill and spent thous- ands of dollars publicizing gliding.
 Commander Ralph s. Barnaby, present head of the SSA, made the first glider flight from 6 dirig- ible balloon when he was launch- ed from the nayy's Los Angeles" in 1880.
 NO LONGER SEEN
 AS PURE SPORT
 Another American who has been trying to tell the U. s. about glid- ing efficiency since 1891 is Earl R. Southee, head of the Standards Division of the CAAs civilian Pilot Training branch and glid. ing,s No. 1 propagandist at the mo- ment. He jumped into the news recently when he appeared before the House Naval Affairs Commit tee to advocate investigation of gliding's possible military value.
 Here at Harris Hill, where he was once manager, they've just held an "Earl Southee Day" in honor of the former World War flyer and barnstormer. Southee took the opportunity to make 8 few pertinent remarks on his fa- vorite topic-soarings
 up to now" he declared, mos torless flight has been considered sport-science, but now we must look upon 1t for its utility, par- ticularly in war conditions.

4AAS NSCAAAdkAo are absent at this years meet, now in progress, but the U. s. Army has looked up and taken notice of the military uses of @ glider. The week before the present contest opened, six army pilots, including Maj. Frederick R. Dent, Jr., now active in experimental work at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, were grad uated" after 8 35 hour gliding course conducted by the Elm:ra Area Soaring Corp. In Joliet, H., si:i more officers received their gliding wings.
 The army's new interest in glid- ing, or soaring, makes longtime advocates of motorless flight hap py-but hesitant. They fear that if soaring is found to have mili- tary value, too much will be ex- pected of 1t too soon. They point out that of the less than 100 &C., tive licensed glidre pilots in the country, not over IS are now com- petent instructors; that of the 140- odd gliders and sailplanes in the U. s., probably fewer than 75 are in good condition.
