NEW DEVICE TO
 BE TESTED OUT
State Police May Use A- cohOlometer Devised By
 Yale Scientists

A demonstration of an automatic alcoholometer invented by two Yale scientists will be conducted by Comsr. of State Police Edward J. Hickey at the state police barracks, Ridgefield, Thursday.
 This new machine which is a portable electrically-driven robot laboratory for blood alcohol deter imitation, will be used to test mo- toristS who are arrested for drunk en driving instead of the old meth cd of walking the inebriate over 8 straight line or having him stoop to pick up an object to ascertain if the tipsy driver is able to balance himself.
 The subejcted motorist would have to breathe into the device and the quantity of air would pass through chemical circuit into a removable colorimeter tube. A pho- to-electric cell activates the needle of a meter to give readings in per- entage of alcohol in the blood of the person undergoing the test.
 The direct reading of percentage of alcohol in the blood can be trans lated into terms of alcohol influ- ence' as adopted by the American Medical association. A permanent record which can be presented in court is provided by the sealed col orimeter tube.
 Dr. Leon A. Greenberg of the laboratory of Applied Psychology, Yale university and Frederick w. Keater, M. E., of the. Yale school of engineering, have been working on the experiment with the collab- oration of the Connecticut state po- lice and are the fathers of this brain child.

GOLDEN DAYS

Swiftly passing August days, Evenings menowing in haze Morning and nights passing cool Daytime hot enough for splash in the pool'- Csoldenrod last but not the very least Pungenty smelling like weeds or yeast Stars brightly shining at night, Mosquitoes annoyir1 with their maddenlng bite. Just the sort of days for berry pickin, Or stopping popular roadhouse for fried chicken Swiftly passing August days, Lovely weather just to laze In the sun or the cool of the shade And wonder if it's possible the universe was made Just for fighting and mad destruction on every slde' In a cockeyed world so vast and wide It's nice in August to loll about With detached mind that entertains no doubt That come what may there's still bugs and bees And it's possible to enjoy cool line freeze.

 Speaking of junk several aluminium drive workers in a cer- tain Connecticut city are slightly angry. The. metal has been turned over to a small town biggie who is holding it for the U. s. Treas ury Department. The man won't give out any dope on the weights and behaves generally like a New Dealer who has just received an appointment as a WP.A. play ground supervisor.
 That new filling station at Skeleton Hollow had no more than got the doors opened than along comes the Ickes order to shut up shop before sundown. The, new Neon sign won't attract much trade now. Shutting up a filling station at a summer resort in the early eve is about like closing tayerns before the workmen are turned loose from their labOrs, or allowing soda fountain to use ice cream only during the winter months. General rural comment on the IckeS order is that 1t is the work of a warped mind or the peeviShneSS of an immature ZeaIot craving power.
 Just the other day, a Congress man arose to make. the following statement: T am not complaining about the fact that we are under going sacrifices on the eastern sea- board with respect, to gasoline in order that Canada may advertise in the press and over the radio for American tourists to come to Can- ada where they have no gasoline shortage and warning them to keep out of New England where there is a gasoling shortage.
 Want a new charcoal kiln? The Connecticut forestry experts have 8 few on demonstration at Mount Carmel but the old timers are still burning charcoal in the approved and tested manner. Current wholesale prices for charcoal have advanced from 18c to 2Sc per busheI. Maybe it's time to burn some of those old knots that the hired man can't split up for fire wood?
 Charcoal was once as important a crop in this area as milk now is. Flagg Swamp and Paradise gladeS were filtered with the pits and people like Charcoal Daisy and Boxcar Annie waxed fat and healthy on the profits. Thousands of cords of wood were converted into cash by our coalerS and we enjoyed a lively export business with such faraway cities as Wa terbury and New Haven. Tobacco growers still use charcoal for curing the crop in damp weather. Steel is hardned in a charcoal pack, steaks are broiled over char coal and the flavor improves over such smoke fires. We advocate a new drive for charcoad. Lets go!
 The funniest story we've heard is about the city family that came to South Britain on a vacation and refused to drink raw milk or well water that had not been boiled.
