Prominent Local Citizens on Committee to Aid In.
 d1strial Farm

When a young boys future Is at stake because of neglect or bad en- vironment, most people agree that something should be done to help him before 1t is too late. In critl- cal times like these, America needs more than ever So train her own imperiled youth for good citizen ship.
 This is what Berkshire Industrial Farm at Canaan, N. r., has been doing successfully for S5 years. There i56 boys, including those from Connecticut, are getting their first chance for @ worthwhile fu- ture. At Berkshire Farm they have good home, wholesome fun and freedom. They get a two.year course In a skilled trade. The brightest ones are sent to high school, five miles away. They de- velop character and industry. They are helped to find work when they are ready to leave.
 It takes time and money to change problem boys into upright young men. Parents pledge what they can toward Q boys support If anything, but 50 per cent of the operating expenses must be met through voluntary contributions

scription, 1t certainly involves a good deal of compulslon. Britain does not intend to allow any woman, whatever her social stand ing, to sit back and let others win the war for her.
 Little Miss 1dle-Rich" is sim- ply going to be made to Ego to it, just as every other healthy girl Of twenty. Nor will the servants halls of the big mansions, any more than the one-woman kitchens Of suhurbia, be allowed to harbor young women capable of doing essential war work.
 It's Q tremendous comb-out, this women's registration. There's quite bit of kicking, too, mainly on the part of the droncs. On the other hand, many of the 100000 who did register are already engaged In es- sential war work. The object of the probe is precisely to weed out the large army of girls who have never

 Telephone service at this end of Connecticut Is never very remark able and now we are facing still further restrictions. A notice in the papers asks all hands to re- frain from using the phone when the fire alarm sounds, If baby swallows . pin, if the hired man runs wild while under the influ. ence of felt-boot cider, or if the Jersey bull gets the boss of the ranch up 6 tree, be sure there's no fire in town before phOning for assistance. Remember, dear readers, phone Is just . simple convenience for the gOsslps and the village fire department. You're lucky that you are not forced to wigwag when you want to place . grocery order at Mc- Carthy's General Store.
 Seen on a bill-of-fare: "BONED SriAD: Note, we bought this shad as boneless but we are not respon- sible for what few bones left in the fish," You have to watch all the curves. and bones, these days.

now before the General Assem- bly. They also censure the State Farm Bureau Federation because the federation officers appeared at the Capitol and announced that tho "entire membership" had enc dorsed the bill. Among the crowd meeting In Woodbury on Sunday, ninety per cent claimed Farm Bureau membership and not . single one of the lot had ever been asked to give an opinion on the bill. We had folks from Sher- man, Avon, Seymour, Norwalk, West Hartford, and other farm villages. If nobody had canvass cd these people for an opinion, it's safe to say that the Farm Bureau bureaucrats soundedIof at Hartford without proper au. thority and certainly failed to ex- press the will of the majority. The majority still rules in the farm belt and we here predict fewer Farm Bureau signs on the barns in the dairy belt.
 We like the name of that organ- ization, too. It's the first time the newspapers have actually admit. ted that an emergency existed in the milk racket. Emergencies are in style. We have them on an in- ternational scale and we certain ly need more of them on the farm to keep the kids from running of to town seeking excitement.
 The Connecticut Dairy Farm CTS Emergency Association shows . rare social consciousness, too. Tho outfit remains in action until the day the 1941 session of the General Assembly adjourns and then whatever funds remain In the treasury will be divided be- tween the American Red Cross and war relief organizations. Joel Chatfleld, hard-scrabble milk prO- ducer from Seymour, serves as president of the new group and his choice as leader assures Q high type of leadership and action.
 Noteworthy for their absence at the meeting of hard-pressed dairynen were the South Britain and Southbury members of the great fraternity of cow-milkers. Our yes-fnen stayed away from that savage revolt. The spell-bin- ders of the CMPA and the Farm Bureau appeared to have every thing under control ct this end of

If they can reasonably be ex- pectcd to do a full-tlne job and release a man or woman for moro important work, then they will be expected to do so.
 Driving staff officers around in cars or putting in an appearance two or three times week at a canteen will not save the stacker from being roped in.
 While many of the "twenties'' have accepted this calling-up with good grace, others strongly re- sented the measure. Some were afraid of spelling their hands, others demanded that all foreign girls who had sought refuge in this country should be called up first. But the majority accepted the inevitable and quite @ good proportion were eager to join one of the womens services, If only for the adventure the new life would procure,

 There Is, however, a certain amount of circumspection on the part of the registration au- thorities, who obviously do not want to frighten the girls. After having registered, the jobless girls first will be notified to attend labor ex- change where they will be told what kind of work Is open to them in the women's services or In fac- tories.

 Legislative newspapermen last night put on their biennial Grid iron club show for the governor, the ex-governor, legislators and others capable of digging up $5 for 8 ticket.
 The show was based as a series of radio skits, but any resem- blance to coherence in acting or language was purely incidental. Newspapermen are not actors, and do not care to learn. All they sought to do was harpoon the egos of the politicians. In this. they were tremendously success ful, possibly because everything appears funny after two or three drinks.

 The varoius women's services, the A. T. S., the W. A. A. F., the W. R. A. N. S., now report marked in- crease in volunteers just before the registering date. These girls just didn't feel like waiting to be told what they were to do. ..e..
