The State of New York used to
be the chief home of the great
group of Indian tribes known as
"the Iroquois" Today there still
are several thousand Iroquois in
New York, but Ontario has more OF
Them than New York.
The Iroquois lived in New York
long before it became a State, even
before it became British colony.
Early Dutch explorers met the
Irouuois. and so did the French.
The French meetings were not OF
q friendly kind. Champlain and
other leaders fought the 1roquols in
battle. and gave them their name.
The name was taken from the AL
gonouin language, and the mean
Ing is real adders" or real snakes" }"
The French believed they had
reason to call these Indians harsh
name. With the help of their
muskets they at first managed to
whip the Iroquois in battle. Later
the Indians obtained firearms from
Dutch traders and in some fights
vers. able to win against the French.

-CoIIed Selves People of Long House

Ojibway tribe with those of the
Iroquois, and spoke of Hiawatha as
an Ojibway, or Chippewa, Indian.
The real HiaWatha was an Iro-
quois who was born something like
500 years ago. 1t appears that he
was Mohawk by birth, but at an
early age went to live with the
Onondaga tribe. Later he returned
to the Mohawks.
Legends have gathered about the
things which Hiawatha did, and we
do not have a complete record of his
life. Yet it seems certain that he
gave much of his time to building
the union of the Five Nations.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The Iroquois barred the way of
the French to the south. This does
much to explain why New York
never became a colony of France.
The Iroquois had a, special name
for themselves. 1t was "Ong-won-
on-si-on-ni" and it meant People
of the Long House"
For hundreds of years the Iro-
quois had their homeland between
Lake Champlain on the east and
the Genesee River on the west.
Their western boundary line ran
several miles west of the present
city of Rochester.
Five tribes made up the early
union of the Iroquois. These were
the Mohawk. Oneida, Onondaga,
Cayuga and Seneca tribes. English
settlers gave them the name OF the
Five Nations"
Legend tells us that the chief
called HiaWatha gave talks to the
different tribes and led them to
form a union. Longfellow wrote a
long and famous poem about Hia-
watha, but he mixed stories OF the

How Did 1t Sturt?

Indianapolis: JERRY BUILT" is
q favorite expression of my hus-
bands when he speaks of something

Mrs. de L.
Answer-"Jerry" doesn't refer to
a man. 1t probab bly, is corruption
of jury a nautical term meaning
Temporary. makeshift." In the days
when men went down to the sea in
sailing ships, a vessel occasionally
lost its masts in storm. A make

of one of the original masts, was
"iury rigged" for temporary service

the term from which Jerry built

 BOY ENLISTS
U. s. Marines Get Husky Specimen; Hopes to Get
 Commission

Joseph Fernard Lebel of 42 Plaza Ave. left the home of his parents today to serve four year enlistment with Uncle Sam's soldiers of the sea. Lebel was born in Canada, June Is, 1924, and migrated to Fall River, Mass, where he graduated from St. Joseph's grammar school.
 For the past six years Lebel has been a resident of Waterbury, and during that time attended and grad uated from Leavenworth High school. During this interval LebeFs parents become naturalized cttt- zens of the United States, which is absolutely necessary prior to the enlistment of a man who is not nnative born mad whose parents are not citizens of the U. s.
 Dr. Joseph A. Reynolds, 95 North Main street, medical examiner Tor the U. s. Marine Corps as well ras the local recruiting officers stated that Lebel was one of the hness physical specimens to ever qualify for an enlistment in the marines from this district. He was P inches tall along with 204 pounds .cf muscle and brawn.
 Lebel has high hopes of later en- tering the Naval Academy at An- napolis and securing his commits sion in the U. s. Navy. This would be a typical example of coming up from the ranks to achieve success the hard way"

 No Work After
 Biondi was asked about two years ago to cease working after 5 o'clock, Atty. Ciano told the court, and that the blacksmith shop remain closed on Sunday. Biondi complied with the request of the neighbors and has not worked after 5 o'clock, the defense attorney declared.
 Biondi told the court that a new compressor valued at $4,000 has arrived at his shop and would be installed inside the building. He said it arrived yesterday and that it would eliminate some of the noise in the process of tempering the drills.
 National Defense
 Judge Gaffney declared that Il was impossible for Biondi to con- ply with the request of the neigh bors and at the same time keer up with the national defense, add ing, Sleep or not, the neighborS have to make some sacrifice" Ht then said that if the defense pro. gram should suffer and fall back these present noises, which th' neighbors feel that they are un- able to cope with would be aug mented and would be of far great CT concern which they are al present. Presumably the judge had reference to an enemy power st- tacking this country.
 Tn view of all the testimony, grant Biondi discharge, so that the national defense is not slowed up," said Judge Gaffney, and sum- marily closed the case.

 Many people have asked us why we do not write more about poul- try raising and not so much about dairying. They claim we are biased. in favor of the milk producers and that we overlook the fact that chickens also pay. ... They're partially right, too. Chickens do pay, when you close 'em out. '
 To produce one pound of human food, hen will consume about fifteen pounds of assorted rations. A COW furnishes a pound of human grub after eating only five pounds of grass, silage, or grain. and COW is bigger than a hen Poultrymen are us- ually people who either haven't room to keep a COW or who have n't taken the time to investigate the economies of real farming. Bankrupt dairymen sometimes turn to chickens in desparation. They usually end up in the poor house.
 Geese make mighty profitable items on the farm, too, and far too few of them are raised. Goose feathers make swell pillows and stuffed goose is a fair substitute for turkey. Geese are natural watchdOgs and they'll set up 8 howl whether it's a henhawk or 8 hostile bomber flying overhead. A goose will tree tramp or chase dog off the premises.

witnesses, Anthony Ciarlo, told the court, although he is away during the day at his grocery and market on 94O North Main street, that when he arrives home, his wife, Carmela is always on the verge of a nervous break down and has urged him 10 dispose of the house in order to escape the din from the nearby shop.
 Good Demonstration
 Ciarlo's cheeks puffed up and he emitted a sound which graphically Illustrated his meaning of the noise which assails his ears. He said the sound was similar to German machine gun, but Judge Gaffney inquired if he was . qualified expert Dn the firearms used by that country.
 Ciarlo quickly amended his state nnent and added: Like the Ameri- can xnachine gun," again sounding off in machine gun fashion.
 This demonstration from the witness was given when Prosecuting Attorney Frederick Palomba asked what sort of sounds the blacksmith shop of Biondi produced but the witness did not grope for adjectives, but gave a vivid portrayal of the noise as 1t impressed him.
 Attorney Michael Ciano brought out from Biondi that he has been given priority rights by the U. S. government to produce drills for the submarine base at New London. Attorney Ciano also added that his client has received the contract trom the City of Waterbury to fur nish the drills to be used on the present pipe line project. He said the drills were to be used to drill through rocks.
 In Industrial Zone
 Duwing the testimony, the de- sense counsel pointed out that his client leased the property in 1884 when he learned that the section was classified as an industrial zone.
 Cinrlo was queried by Attorney Ciano if Q baking company was not near him. The witness said that 1t was, but that his sleep was not dis turbed by its proximity.
 Ciano then asked if a dairy con- cern was not near his home, to which Ciarlo replied that 1t was and reiterated that he did not hear any noises when they moved milk con- tainers about.
 The Scigliano Lumber Co. is also near his home, 1t was pointed out. Ciarlo contended that noises from these concerns did not bother him. CiarlO insisted that the pounding of Biondis compressors during the day was his only annoyance.
 Tenants Move Away
 Another witness, Mrs. Mary Bar Der of 900 North M ain street, claimed that three tenants have vacated her building because of the noise during the day. She said the families have moved out in the past two years. She also said an- other family was seeking an avail able tenement because of the noise.
 Tn eSsenSe, Mrs. Barber's testi- mony was similar to Ciarlo'S al- though the latter used verbal dem- onstration. Each pointed out that the noise during the day has dis turbed them physically and that they requested Biondi to place his machine inside of his shop and muffle it. Biondis contention was that the noise could not be elim-
