Good common sense should be practiced in the preparation and serving of foods for human con- sumption so that they will not only furnish the essentials of life but be safe for health. Eugene F. Lamour- eux. M. D.. epidemiologist said in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. Unless foodstuffs are carefully handled in the home and in public eating places there is danger of food be- coming contaminated and causing upset stomachs, diarrhea and even death.
 Cleanliness should be the watch word at all times when food is con- cerned, Doctor Lamoureux pointed out. Clean hands, clean apparel and clean utensils are fundamental to clean and safe food service h. fected cuts and bruises on the hands of food-handlers need to be watched carefully so that the germs will not contaminate the food.
 The fact that most meals at home are prepared just prior to serving is an important safety factor with regard to the possibility of food be- coming contaminated mad causing illness, Doctor LamoureuX ex- plained. The interval when germs can grow is limited. Despite this. however, mayonnaise, mixed sand wich spreads, custards and custard pastry, cream pastry and the like should never be handled except when the hands are thoroughly

More State Doctors
 Given Commissions
Physicians, Dentists of Connecticut Enrolled; Nearly
 400 More Needed to Fill Quota

New Haven, Conn, July 23.-Fif- teen more physicians and dentists have received commissions in the U. s. army through the Medical Officers Recruiting Board for Con- necticut, it was announced today by Major Edward E. Williams and Dr. Creighton Barker, state chairman of the Procurement and Assign ment Service.
 This brings the total of medi- cal and dental officers commits stoned at New Haven to 23. A great many more physicians. in- cluding all those above the rank of captain, have been commissioned di- rectly by the U. s. Army Surgeon Generals office in Washington.
 Two new recruiting officers have been added to the board. They are: Major Jacoby T. Rothner, of will U. s. Army Dental Corps who will consider the applications of dentists, and Captain Maxwell Colby, attached to the U. s. Army Air Forces, who will interview and recruit medical officers for the Air Forces.
 "Connecticut physicians have made a splendid response to this initial call for army doctors" said Dr. Barker, in commenting on the recruiting drive. However, Con necticut is supposed to provide 692 medical officers by January 1, 1943, of which number about 300 are al- ready in the armed forces. There fore, almost 400 more doctors must be supplied between now and Janu- ary l.
 "While the needs of the army must be met, the Conn. State Medi- cal society will do everything in It's power to maintain adequate per- sonnel for civilian needs"
 Doctors and dentists who have been commissioner include: Dr. Ron aid s. Beckett of Hartford; Dr. Francis s. Buccheri of New Britain;

Freedom Vital In
 Studying History
Wesleyan College Professor Fears RegimentatiOn of
 High School Students in Compulsory Courses

Anddletown, Conn, July 23-'Let Hs have more students in college courses in American history but let us have them with American freedom" says George Matthew Butcher, Wesleyan University his- tory professor, in the July Wesleyan Alumnus just out. in commenting pn the Survey on College Study of United States History in the New York Times of June 2l.
 Dr. Butcher, fielding professor of history at Wesleyan and a mem- Der of the faculty there since 1900, terms the study timely and challen- Ing but regards che conclusions sug- gested as not so obvious as they seem.
 Unquestionably," he writes, "a far larger proportion of college stu dents should take a course in Amer lean history but to require such a course would be to open the way to regimentation which would lead di- rectly to regimentation of the char acter of such courses which would be disastrously undemocratic and un-American.
 "The whole situation Is condition cd by the fact that most pupils en- tering college have been satiated with some form of United States history year by year from the third grade until graduation from high school. In college they want some thing else. The freshman year in college is consequently precisely the year when the subject should not be required, and indeed should not be offered. European, or preferably English, history in the Freshman year will prepare the student to take American history in @ later year with fresh zest and a broader and more intelligent outlook.

Yankee Courage Meets Test When
 Death BeckOns

Death came to Mason Billings at sea. The Navy's announce ment, terse but sympathetic, was telegraphed to an old man in a little town in Maine.
 He knew, when his son went off to the wars, that the end might come in this way. He knew too that the boy, although not &C., tually in the Navy, was a part of it.
 Up and down the coast of the Eastern Sea Frontier, Naval res cue vessels, manned by civilian crews, serve night and day on important, dangerous tasks.
 A Naval rescue vessel is the descriptive for q great, powerful. sea-going tug which can fight any storm and do its job of salvage or rescue at the same time. The tugs go out to sea at almost mo- ment's notice and the skill of their crews is 8 skill which comes through years of experience and hard work.
 It's a tough assignment. The tugs twist and turn and walloW in the trough of sea in which mines may have been dropped or a submarine may be lurking. But the civilian crews do their job stoically and determinedly. They face death constantly and some times are killed in line of duty.
 Such man was Mason Billings. His father reread the telegram and panned an answer. writing in the grabbed, untutored style of a simple Maine Yankee.
 Your telegram at hand in re- gard to the death of Mason H. Billings" wrote the aged father. Sorry to hear but if you will please write me whatever infor- nation you can, in regard to 1t, 1t will be perfectly confidential. I will be glad to hear 1t.
 T am his father and seventy one years old, and know what war means.
 Hoping this finds you gentle men in good spirits and feeling we are sure to win this war.
 Your respectfully,
 PHILIP BILLINGS,
 BrookSVille, Maine.

ALL COUNTY FAIRS
 CANCELLED BY All
Oldest Fair in United States Held at Durham
 Is Included

All county All Club fairs in Connecticut have been cancelled for this year in another move to save gasoline and tires, 1t was announced today by State Club Leader A. J. Brundage, and the clubs will pro- mote hike and bike" school fairs to take their places.
 Previously, 1t had been announced that the state wide Junior Short Course and Rural Youth Confer ence, scheduled for the University of Connecticut campus, had been cancelled by the state All organi- zation. Cancellation of the All fairs was decided upon by the separate county fair associations.
 Among the fairs thus put out oi operation. probably for the dura- ton of the war, Is the Mlddlesex County All Fair at Durham, oldest incorporated All fair in the United States. Another is the tWo-day Hart ford County All Fair at Avon. The Holland County All Fair at Yer non, organized only last year, is an- other that will walt until the war Is over to hold It's next program. New London County, which recently moved its fair to Norwich and en- larged It's facilities, is another that is affected. Other counties have held either one-day All exhibits or have participated in adult fairs.
 The county All fairs associations however, will take the lead in or ganizing the local exhibits which can be held with minimum use of transportation facilities.
 MT Brundage said that Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti has ruled that, as an emergency measure, the funds appropriated for encourage ment of agricultural fairs may be used to help in providing premiums for local exhibits conducted on 8 town or school district basis, where these fairs are directly sponsored by one of the incorporated county All fair associations. The county fair associations cooperating with other local organizations will put up money for premium awards, and state funds will be available through the Department of Agriculture to reimburse the associations for half of their expenditures, up to $500 per county. In Middlesex County tho fair association has started or- ganization of these local exhibits by voting $l00 of Its funds. Prizes at all local exhibits will be in war stamps and bonds. Fairs will be held, for the most part, in cooperation with local schools or other local organi- zations such as garden clubs and will be scheduled after school opens in September.
 The state club office is providing ribbons for exhibits in all counties.

Motorists may all be riders of the purple sage if claims of sagebrush yield of rubber, made by Frederick w. Reed, retired Los Angeles &C., tor and film producer, are true. Ac- cording to Reed, he grinds the sage brush, foliage and stalks. and puts the mash in a vat. Adding chemi- cal solution he allows the stuff to stand for thre days and then skins off the rubber. The chemical solu- ton is Reeds secret, but he claims to have successfully recapped tires with the product.
