Effects of the American movement for adult education are now being reflected in the off-duty pursuits of our men in uniform, according to Robert M. Heininger, national program director of USO.
 Though the average American sol- dier rises before the break of dawn, goes through 8 strenuous training program for many hours of the day and works harder than he has ever worked before, he is an ambitious man who works on his own time for better rank, further knowledge and a better understanding of the arts and sciences. It goes without saying that his brothers wearing the uni- form of the Marines, Coast Guard and Navy share his cultural desires.
 Reports Studied
 This conclusion was reached by MT. Heininger after a study of re- ports of the educational work of the USO from almost 1000 USO clubs and units in all parts of the United States and abroad.
 "Au USO services are shaped to the needs and desires of the service men using USO facilities" MT. Hejn- finger said today. Directors are in- structed to ascertain what service men want and then give it to them. It is gratifying to note that the demands of the men for informal educational activities are beyond our original estimates. The exten- sions of service along educational lines have come from the men upon their direct request. Instead of our directors persuading the men to take part in educational classes, the men persuade directors to start new courses"
 The list of classes in USo clubs is reminiscent of the curriculum of a major university. There are classes in Spanish, French, German, Ital- ian and even Japanese. There are legal classes for men whose law studies were interrupted by the war; mathematics, physics, English, ap- piled psychology and. machine tool designing for men anxious to add stripes to their uniform; and classes in painting, music, photography and short story writing for those who just want to learn more about an in teresting subject.
 Samples of Activity
 "A few samples picked at random reveal the range of activity MT. Heininger said. "A Sunday noon brunch discussion club in North Carolina has as members soldiers, chaplains, special service officers and a few well informed civilians. Span- ish classes are held in Texas USO clubs close to the Mexican border. A club in New England sends mid- western boys on educational histor- ical trips to the shrines of our early

Price Of Cordwood
 Ordered Regulated
Steps to Be Taken to Encourage Greatest Production
 Possible to Offset Fuel Oil Shortage

The Connecticut Office of Price Administration has been authorized to set the price of cordwood, accord- ing to Chester Bowles, state di- rector.
 This authority to increase the maximum price of cordwood when ever necessary Is to insure the pro- duction of an adequate supply to meet the anticipated acute shortage and the increased demand for this type of fuel due to other fuel short ages, Bowles stated.
 No actual price schedule has been set by the state director and he said that no increases are antici- pated that will "tend to withdraw labor from vital war industries or which will work financial hard ship on the consumer"
 MT. Bowles pointed out that cordwood price ceilings are based on March prices under the genera, maximum price regulations and in most cases, these prices are fixed on labor and other costs which were incurred when the cordwood was cut some six or eighteen months ago.
 A careful study of the wood yards throughout the state of Connecticut has already been started, Bowles said, with attention to the labor sup ply and the fuel demands in the various sections of the state.
 This OPA action parallels that taken several weeks ago when the

state off1ces in Washington and Ore gon were given authority to increase prices of cordwood, shavings and slab wood to meet fuel shortages in that area.
 Tn many New England small towns and rural communities, |" Bowles explained, "cordwood is the principal fuel. In larger cities, it is an important supplementary fuel. Three factors combine to make the threat of the New England cord- wood shortage acute, as follows:
 Il. The area in general is labor shortage area. The rapid expan- sion of shipyards, precision and ma chine-tool plants, aircraft factories and other war industries has re- suited in the absorption of almost all low-paid labor. The ceilings on cordwood established by the general regulations are based on low cost labor production.
 g. The fuel oil shortage has re- suited in 8 demand for more fire wood. This shortage is due to transportation difficulties. It is felt that 1t may be avoided by increas- ing production of fuel that is avail able locally, like cordwood.
 8. Surveys conducted by the forestry services of the states re- vealed that cordwood cutting costs are pressing hard against ceiling prices if not actually in excess of them"
 "Tncreased prices" said Bowles, "are by no means a complete solu- tion to this problem. but should supply an incentive for more exten- sive cutting of cordwood. Wide spread voluntary wood cutting will be absolutely necessary if needed supplies of cordwood are to be forthcoming this winter"

HUNDREDS SEE
 PRIZE DALLAS
Sixy-three Varieties in Evidence on State Uni-
 versity's Grounds
(NEA Telephoto)

Storrs, Conn, Sept. 25-Prize dahlias in the trial garden of the American Dahlia society on the campus of the University of Connec- t1cut are at the height of their bloom this week, and Professor R. H. Patch, in charge of the garden, today in- vtted the public to see the blooms.
 Decreased travel has meant that fewer visitors have come this year to the dahlia gardens, but a few faithful dahlia lovers have made the trip, and persons who are in Storrs on other business stop to see the flowers.
 Sixty three varieties of dahlies, from great shaggy headed blooms in the informal decorative class to tiny pompoms are in the garden. Judges of the Dahlia society spent last Saturday in Storrs, scoring them for the fine points of color, size, true- ness to type and other qualities, and when the season is over will an- nounce the awards of merit that they made. The dahlias, either plants or roots, are sent to Storrs by commercial and private growers who compete annually for these citations.
 On the committee of judgse this year were Edward B. Lloyd of Ver- mona, N. J., Conrad Frey of Nutley, N. J., Warren W. Maytrott of Vine land, N. J., Lynn B. Dudley of Tuck ahoe, N. Y, Dr. Edward H. Cook of New York city, Henry A. Olsen of Flushing, N. Y, and Albert Parrella of the Bronx.
 A special feature in the garden this year is the Alden H. Vost col lection of orchid Towering dahlies given to the university by Mrs. Will liam Vost. The flowers were devel- oped at the Vost estate in Westport.
 The garden is just of the front campus, behind the houses on Fac ulty Row.
