Hartford, Feb. 5-Every farm IN
Connecticut has something 1t can
contribute to Americas war effort,
if it's nothing more than a broken
down hay tedder or the rusty re-
mains of a spring tooth harrow.
Tie Connecticut USDA War Board
Is making plans to give every farm
er a chance to make that contribu-
ton.
A scrap metal collection program,
in cooperation with the State Sal
wage Committee Is being organized
in each of the eight counties, with
County War Boards taking the re-
sponsibility for gathering the scrap
metal from the farms. The State
War Board and the Agriculture
Committee OF the State Defense
Council have passed the job on to
the counties. In turn, each county
will organize farmer committees to
do the Job in each community.
There IS need for speed, points
out Dwight j. Minor, chairman OF
the State War Board, because OF the
press of other work that will fall On

SCHOOL HOURS
REvOLvE WITH
" WORK SHIFTS

Pittsburgh, Penn, Feb. 5-(UP)-
The distinction between night
school and day school has disap-
peared In special University OF
Pittsburgh course designed for
workers In defense mills.
First semester classes in the pio-
neer education project have closed
for 100 freshmen who signed up for
the course when 1t was offered last
fall.
Designed so that those who want
to work at defense Jobs in Pitts
burgh district mills can continue
their schooling. the course is
adapted to the rotating schedule OF
shifts employed in most Of the
plants.
HAVE SAME INSTRUCTOR
Under the Pitt arrangement, the
same instructor teaches both q day
and night class in the same subject.
Thus, the student may attend either
session, to At his working schedule.
Most Of the district mills alter
nate day and night shifts. A work.
er who is ON the night shift will at
tend day classes during that period,
and when he Is changed back to the
daylight trick" he will attend
school in the evening.
The course is open to freshmen
students in engineering, mines,
business administration and liberal
arts. They will be open to upper
classmen II enough requests are re-
ceived.
NEED SIX YEARS FOR DEGREE
Many recent graduates Of our
high schools who, under normal
conditions, would ordinarily have
entered college, are employed in in
dustry in response to the country's
call for stepped up production"
University Provost Rufus Fitz-
gerald said.
Formerly they could 60 to
neither night or day school because
the rotating shifts in industry pre-
vented their having more than a
few weeks at time. So the new
program was arranged to alloy am
bilious men and women to take col
lege work.
Although full college credit is
given for the "custom-tailored'
course, the student, because OF the
smaller number Of courses taken
must attend school for at least six
years.

political trails this summer.
This is election year and the
automobile and tire shortage is
causing q lot of anxiety among
prospective candidates. The auto

vehicle In the biggest state in the

are far apart. Train and bus sched-
ules are Just another worry which
candidates would rather dodge.
From Texarkana to Ell Paso, for
instance, the distance is 821 miles
and q candidate for state Office

From Texline in the northwest

route stretches 929 miles. A can

Stevenson is a rancher who still

How the work will be organized in
each community will depend on the
action taken by County War Boards,
which are meeting now. Available in
each country town for defense work
of this kind are community COM
mitteemen Of the Triple-A and To-
cal members Of Agricultural Defense
Committees. Either or both Of these
groups may be asked to serve, and
the farm committees will work with
the local salvage chairman in each
town.
While the organization may diff
fer, the job Is essentially the same
In every town, making sure that
every farm family knows about the

trucks to pick up the metal, and

Lieutenant Edward ]. Conner was
retired by the board upon his re-
quest because Of physical disability.
Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh said
Lieutenant Conner has served on
the fire force for approximately 80
years and therefore met the re-
quirements as to age and service
for retirement. The retirement Of
Lieutenant Conner, who has been
attached to Engine Company Of
Willow street, boosted the six vacan-
cies to seven in the fire department.
