Michigan Park Group
Opposes HOUSING Project

Clyde Vincent, chairman of the
Alley Dwelling Authority, reported
last night at the Michigan Park
Citizens Association meeting that
action is being taken to alter plans
to proceed with new low-cost hous-
ing development In the Michigan
Park area.
Mr.. Vincent explained that If it
were necessary for the Government
to build there the association would
Cooperate. However, there was no
need since tracts are available In
Montgomery County for the Gov
ernment project. he said.
The main objection to the pro-
posal is the anticipated devaluation
Of Michigan Park property and the
general crowding of transportation
facilities and schools, he continued.
Phillip A. Dolan urged more effi-
cient transit service to Michigan
Park and Brookland. A committee
will present his motion at a Public
Utilities Commission hearing at the
District Building. April is.
The Defense Committee proposed
a house-to-house campaign to raise
funds for civilian defense work In
the area.

Natures Children
Nest of Bobwhite
(Colinus virginuanus)

see them until you are almost on
them. When a covey Is disturbed,
the birds rush into the air on noisy
wings and scatter In every direction.
When all is calm again, you hear
the sweet get-together call, and
one by one the birds reassemble.
In the spring, the coveys break
up. The male birds 60 courting.
Their favorite broadcasting plat
forms are fence-posts or low boughs
from which the "bobwhite" whistle
goes floating on the air waves.
Mrs. Bob builds the nest of
grasses, leaves, weeds and straw
She selects spot of ground in an
open field, grain field, or scrubby
place. She has been known to build
beside stone wall or even along a
roadway. Most of the time. the
nest is open to the sky, though
sometimes she carefully chooses a
place where plant stalks completely
conceal the nest and, also, one
where work is going on in the field.
In the nest, Nine. Bob lays from
10 to Is eggs, usually white ones.
Some nests have been found con-
tanning as many as Is eggs. The
eggs are seldom left unguarded for
long, they are so conspicuous and
easily found, but when the mother
or father is brooding them, their
protective coloring serves its pur-
pose perfectly and you may not see
the faithful parent until you become
conscious of a pair of very bright
eyes keeping tab on you.
Two or three broods are raised
each year. Father Bob takes ex-
cellent care of the older children
and If anything should happen to
his mate he assumes full RESPONSE
bility for the brood until the babies
are grown. He also assists in the
brooding, which takes "a days.

RADIO TELEPHONES
 SOUGHT FOR NAVY
Ship-tO-ShOre Devices of Great Service in Anti-
 Submarine Warfare

supplementing an appeal made last week, Vice Admiral Adolphu. Andrews, U. s. N, Commander of the Eastern Sea Frontier, toda, urged all owners of Ship-to-short radio telephones to make their set, available to his command in the Navy and Coast Guards wa, against submarines raiding Ameri- can sea lanes.
 The Eastern Sea Frontier Com. mand last week appealed to all owners of ship-to-shore radio tele- phones, along with dealers who nave such equipment in stock, to notify the Eastern Sea Frontier at once in order that the Navy may examine such specifications and purchase suitable sets to equip small vessels carrying on the war against Axis raiders.
 "Th'e initial response has been encouraging" said Vice Admiral Andrews in his statement today. ' but a greatly increased volume of offers is absolutely essential if the Americans manning these small boats are to have proper radio ,nle- phone equipment for their mission.
 Prom 800 to 1000 sets are need ed," said Vice Admiral Andrews. q urge every amateur radio operator every boat or airplane owner, and every dealer who has a standard make, ship-to-shore radio telephone to let us know. We need every set we can get for our small-boat flect."
 Owners who offer their radio telephone sets for sale in response to the Navy's request will not only be doing patriotic service to their country but also they will be able to raise ready cash and dispose of equipment which they cannot use during the duration of the war any, way, Navy officials pointed out.
 Remember that hundreds of Americans are using their yachts, private power boats or fishing ves- sels in this anti-submarine patrol" said Vice Admiral Andrews.
 They are risking their lives; it certainly isn't much to ask that they be equipped with the ship-to- shore radio demanded for their work"
 General requirements are for complete radio telephones, for sets of standard make, of 2000- 5000 kilo- cycle range, of 12 watts or more output.
 Owners offering sets should mail in full data from the nameplate, giving sull descriptive details. h. formation should be mailed, not telephoned, to the Eastern Sea Frontier Headquarters, go Church street, New York, N. Y.
 In response to letters the Navy will send a radio expert to inspect suitable sets and, if found satis- factory, will make purchase offer.

OPA TO FREEZE
 PRICES OF ICE
Ceiling to Be Set on Rates Charged From March
 to April, l942

Hartford, July 17.-The Ease pe- riod for price ceilings on ice have been changed from March to April, 1922, it was announced by State OPA Director Chester Bowles today following the receipt of a ruling from Price Administrator Leon Henderson. The change was made, Mir. Bowles announced through the Hartford branch office of war in- formation, because ice prices pre- vailing during, March, 1942, were at the lowest levels for some years and did not reflect increases in costs since the beginning of the 1941 summer season Advances made during April, 1942, were reasonable, Administrator Henderson said.
 Sellers of ice may continue to use the optional alternative method of determining summer prices from April through October, inclusive. This is to charge the highest price charged during the corresponding 1041 month. Amendment of the reg ulatton was occasioned by the fact that due to the seasonal character of the ice business, price advances are made only at the beginning of the summer season, which occurs in most regions in April.

Ths broadcast will fea- ture National Commander Lynn U. Stambaugh of the American Legion and national stage and musical celebrities including Burgess Mere dith, Harry James Orchestra, Nel- son Eddy, Kay Kyser and Kate Smith.
 The campaign is the result of an attempt by some noted artists to supply entertainment to the men of our fighting forces and thereby to sustain their morale. Tn re- ce.ving old records as scrap the manufacturers will provide new rec ords at cost for the duration.
 The Records for Our Fighting Men" Is a non-profit corporation formed by some of our leading artists who saw the need and found the way. The American Legion was chosen as the organization to carry out the program.
 It is felt that for 25 years or more families throughout the country have been putting aside hundreds of millions of old photograph rec ords which have salvage value now. The American Legion has been given the responsibility by appealing to the public to turn over these records as scrap, that 8 new supply may be produced for the recrea- tional facilities everywhere that service men are found.

ITALDOT'S STAND.
 STARTSCO CONTEST
Several Candidates in Field to Obtain COP.
 Congressional Post

Indications that Congress man Joseph E. Talbot of Naugatuck will not seek election to full term have resulted in the quiet start of cam paigns to win the nomination for other candidates. Heading the list, at the moment, are John Mankow- ski of Ansonia, a CIO organizer, and Russell Patterson of Torrington, a member of the G. O. P. state cen tral committee.
 The Mankowski boom Is winning considerable labor support, not only in Ansonia and Waterbury, but also in Torington, where Mayor William A. Patten has announced his can- didacy for the Democratic congress sional nomination.
 Patterson has been faithful party worker for many years and commands considerable backing in Litchfield County.
 Another candidate being hoomed is Attorney William J. Secor, Jr., a member of the legal staff of the Waterbury area rent control office. The Waterbury c. O. P. organiza- ton however does not wield too much influence in the district and the young lawyers chances of the nomination are regarded as slim. To campaign MT. Secor would under the Hatch act have to resign his federal post.
 Backers of Mankowski claim that nomination of 8 labor candidate by the G. O. F. would serve to cut heavily into the normal Democratic vote in the cities and large towns of the district.
