|C. 0. INDUCTEES
 MAY WORK FARMS
Officials Studying POssi- bility of Supplying Work
 CTS for Duration

Request has been made of Selec- tive Service officials for the assign ment of a trial unit of 10 conscien- tious objectors to work on Connecti- cut farms 1t was revealed yesterday lat meeting of the Connecticut branch of the United States De- partlnent of Agriculture War Board in Hartford.
 Final approval has not been re- ceived from Washington but if the initial effort proves a success 1t is hoped to obtain more conscientious objectors to fill the gaps left by other men called to the services and on defense work in the fac- tories.
 AS explained by Arthur V. Geary, farm placement supervisor for the U. s. Employment Service in Con- necticut, the idea is to secure men with previous experience in dariy farming from camps in Massachu- sets, New Hampshire or Pennsyl- vania. They would work for $50 a month, plus room and board but only $2.50 month would be paid directly to the worker. The re- mainder would be turned over to the Council of Conscientious Ob- jectors for rehabilitation and wel- fare work after the war.

Conference Planned
 On First Aid, Safety
State Police Commissioner Directing Arrangements for Second Annual State Meeting-Teams to Compete

missioner Hickey in formally an- nouncing the 11rst-aid conference, "has knowledge of what to do in case of injury, time of disaster or causing of & so-called Incident been so essential. Iii all phases of our daily lives, particularly as con- cerns industrial production, we are moving faster and faster. It is ill- conceivable that civil life tempo can be stepped up so greatly without conflicts of various kinds which produce personal injuries and de- mand immediate, skilled attention. This conference is designed to meet that situation, to ensure the need being filed"
 The conference program will fol- low the same lines as last years successful gathering at the Univer- sity of Connecticut, Storrs, where between eight and ten thousand people viewed the proceedings dur ing the two-days activity. Various first-aid teams from industry will be invited to compete for prizes. There will be several spectacular demonstrations such as 'pole-top reslscitation," "water rescue and resuscitation", carefully planned wartime incident" to give the de- fense council volunteer organiza- tions full play to demonstrate their ability, parade and review of many different types of 1irst-aid and safety groups, including g display of first-aid equipment and emer- gency ambulance facilities.
 "There will be very little talking at this years conference" says Commissioner Hickey in closing his announcement. "but plenty of &C., ton. No admission will be charged and parking accommodations will be ample. We are in hopes of en- tertaining 15,000 spectators, at least, As many as that will turn out for the circus when 1t comes this sum- mer and, worthy a show as the cir- GUS is, our program will be even more vital to the welfare of the state.

HEALTH OFFICIALS
 NEED MORE SPACE
Dr. Jackson Named COnl- mlittee of One to Study
 Expansion Plan

Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, chairman of the Board of Public Health, plans conferences with Mayor Vincent A. Scully and other city officials in an effort to secure larger quarters for the City Health department. The health board named him a commit tee of one yesterday after receiving reports that space is now inadequate and that activities of the depart ment are scattered over three floors of the City Hall
 The health departments plight serves to emphasize the City Hall space shortage that some observers believe can eventually be solved only by the establishment of a City Hall annex.
 Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, pointed out to the board that the main offices of the depart ment are located on the third floor, the laboratory in the basement, and the vital statistics bureau in the town clerks office.
 The board appointed Dr. Arthur T. Gilyard as meat and dairy in- spector, at $i,625. He succeeds his son, Dr. Richard Gilyard, who is now with the army.

SAYS AMERICA
 FAST BECOMING
 AUDIENCE LAND

Milwaukee, May 6.-UP)-Too many Americans read, listen and look on without taking an active part in anythlng--this is the total- itarian, not the democratic way of life, asserts Marshall Bartholomew, conductor of the Yale university glee club.
 Addressing the Music Educators National Conference at Milwaukee recently, Bartholomew expounded the belief that living on canned" music from day to day is just as unsatisfactory as any unvaried diet of canned food. Music "is a fun- damental human need" he con- tended, land something inside of you goes hungry and empty without it."
 Participation Good Citizenship
 The ograph, radio and sound films were conceded to be magnificent inventions" but the speaker held that they made 1t necessary for Americans to gaurd more intensively than ever against permitting the audience habit to dominate adult life in the United States.
 To-day, with a second world war upon us, more devastating than the first, when we are fighting for the democratic way of living in all its phases, when everything that we be- lieve in is under attack, we must fight this audience habit" Bartholo- mew declared. "One of the funda- mental principles of god citizenship in democracy Is to participate.
 Music InspiratiOnaI
 Fastening is not enough! If we are to win this war, as win 1t We un- doubtedly shall, part of our job as music educators is to see that more of the music which we learned and in which we participated with such enthusiasm in schol and col- lege is actively carried over into adult life. We must learn again to take the singing spirit with us into our daily work"
 Before the days of machinery "me- lody was the companion and the in- OA bAlC NOAhSL 1u tlAo OeA9h' but today 1t seems out of place in the crash and roar of modern indus trial life, Bartholomew lamented. From Art To Discipline
 'T1ne descendants of the old-fasl1- toned miller now work in 8 grain elevator; stokers and deckhands on 8 modern ship are seldom able to indulge their fancy for chanteys or barcaroles; 8 spinning song is un- thinkable in the din of a cotton fac- tory; the shepherds pastoral doesn't fit the atmosphere of stockyard.
 "In a large sense," the speaker pointed out, industrial humanity has ceased to be composed of in- dividuals and is made up simply of labor units, Mechanical invention has turned a large part of the worlds work from an art into a dis cipline. A great deal of what in the days of craftsmanship was creative effort has become drudgery."
