what it must be like to
be on the moon. Actu-

The great areas on
the moons face have
been accurately mapped

can certainly be said
that rocket explorers

more knowledge about
their goal than did Co,
lumbus when he set sail
on his famous voyage
to America in 1892.
Two bold types of
features mark the face
of the moon as seen
from the earth with
large telescopes. These
are the great craters
and the seas. The lat

the erroneous concep-

penalties are prescribed for such violations" MT. Danaher said. Connecticut employers can protect themselves from unintentional vio- lations of the child-labor provisions of the Federal Act by keeping on file certificates of age for all minors claiming to be 18 or 9years old employed in occupations declared hazardous, as well as certificates for all 16 and IT year old minors in occupations not declared hazardous.
 Operating power-driven wood- working machines; feeding material into such machines; helping an op- orator to feed materials into them: having direct control or supervision over such machines; and setting up adjusting, repairing, oiling and cleaning them. The occupations of of bearing from circular saws or guillotin action veneer clippers Trough a cooperative arrangement with the U. s. Children's Bureau, such certificates are issued by rep resentatiyes of the State Board of Education in the locality where the minor resides"

I ciirement section of the Develop. ment Commission, and the Manu. lecturers Association of Connecti. cut which, for over 8 year, have been very active in efforts to cor
 relate industrial facilities of the state with the urgent demand foi machine facilities created by the ra- tional rearmament program.
 "The constructive value of these efforts has been repeatedly attested by the Offlce of Production Man. agement, by Army and Navy of- ficials and by hundreds of Connec- ticut manufacturers. Important inc stances in point are the Register of Connecticut Manufacturing Fa- c!lities for National Defense Pro- curement which was placed in the hands of over 1000 prime Govern ment contractors many months since; also the current idle ma chinery survey to develop unused machine facilities in the state, which is being conducted in col- laboration with the Connecticut State Employment Service. This survey has already uncovered in Connecticut more than 35O,000 idle hours in critical machine categories, which facilities have been brought to the attention of large number of prime Government contractors in need of such facilities with the splendid cooperation of the Manu. featuring Association of Ccnnecti. cut, all of this most vital informa- ton has been made available to all parties concerned"
 The Defense Production Clinic is expected to represent the high wa ter mark in Connecticut of coordi- mated effort on the part of the Fed- eral and State Governments in at- tacking the pressing need for in- creased defense production. It will be the first of its kind in New Eng land, although modelled after simi. lar programs very successfully ir- itiated by the New York State Di- vision of Commerce.
 Chairman Rolfe expressed the be- lief that the State would be derelict in It's duty if 1t failed to recognize and endeavor to meet, the threat to National safety and to Connecti- cut industry implied in the indus trial dislocation created by the de- fense emergency.
 Tn the opinion of Colonel Fisher and Chairman Rolfe this end will be distinctly served by the Defense Production Clinic which will pro- vide prime contractors and poten- tial sub-contractors with a simple and effective way of stimulating the farming out" of defense orders in Connecticut.

Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, State Defense Administrator, and Charles E. Rolfe, chairman of the State De- velopment Commission, will act as co-chairmen of the State Defense Production Clinic which Governor Robert A. Hurley announced will be held on August 2l.
 The conference, the first of its kind in New England, has been called by the Governor to bring to- gether the prime contractors and manufacturers, and the small or sub-contractor, with government and state officials to discuss their problems and to give the small manufacturer an opportunity to ex- plain what facilities he has avail able and ready to assist in defense production.
 Chairman Rolfe in a statement today emphasized the importance to Connecticut and to national security of the Production Clinic. He said that the Development Commission is glad to cooperate with the Gov- ernor and the Defense Council in sponsoring a meeting of this type.
 "The present war;" said Chairman Rolfe, lis a war of production but it will be impossible to achieve maximum output unless the farm. ing out of defense contracts have greatly accelerated and expanded. The Clinic will contribute to this result by bringing procurement of- ficials and prime government con- tractors into direct and personal touch with large number of Con- necticut manufacturers who have not yet succeeded in qualifying for defense orders.
