bring about some adjustments, the current labor shortage for wood cutting provides the opportunity for a display of Yankee ingenuity in tackling problem of importance both to individuals and to the com munity as a whole. Any able bodied man can take his ave to the woods, but even more can be accomplished if the old New England custom of banding together is put into effect and groups of men organized them selves into wood d-chopping parties.
 "One New England village" the statement read, "has completed group activity which has resulted in 78 out of it's 30 families preparing to burn wood exclusively this win ter. An average of six cords of wood for each household, the estimated need for the winters burning, has already been cut.
 ''The average New England town is surrounded by wood lots and for ests," the chairman pointed out, land most of their owners are will- ing to allow people to cut for home consumption at $1 or $2 a cord Stumpage. The exercise involved is especially recommended for middle aged men, but it would be a patri- otic effort on anyone's part for him to arrange for cutting parties to take care of at least a portion of his heating needs"

New EngIanders Urged to Make Use of Wood Lots,
 Forests to Meet Serious Shortage of Fuel Oil

Boston, Sept. % - (SpeciaD = The cutting of hard wood from local forests and wood lots for heating purposes was urged upon New Eng flanders today in statement is- sued by J. c. Richdale and R. C.. Bowditch, chair1nen respectively of the New England Councils Liquid and Solid Fuel Committees and joint chairmen of the New England State Fuel Directors. "The short age of fuel oil and coal" they said, gives New Englanders another op- portunity to utilize their own re- sources in the solution of a com mon problem"
 Based largely on data assembled by Harris Reynolds, director of the Wood Fuel Committee of the Mass achusetts Committee on Public Safety, the New England fuel au- thoritieS' statement said every stick of hard wood burned in fur mace or stove this winter will be a direct contribution toward the So- lution of New England's critical fuel oAVAUOAO11 oA2ANC 4b VIII 1CNuNC OA1C OC- mand upon the coal or fuel oil brought in by rail or water.

Mir. BoWles urges that newspapers run daily lists of books issued, the persons who secured them and the mileage they claim to cover.
 Every gas rationing book given the board for issuance must be ac- counted for monthly. Lists of books issued after Sept. 30 must be kept in chronological order of issuance.
 Loose coupons which are on hand must be burned in the presence of at least one member of the local board. When tailored books are issued, the coupons which are re- moved must be cancelled in the pres ence of the applicant, this to be done by cutting the coupon in two.
 Coupons of voided or mutilated books should be cancelled at once and the books mailed to the state office. Alphabetical lists of appli- cants must be prepared and kept on file.
 The new rules by Director Bowles are regarded as a frightening up'' of restrictions. In his letter of instruc- tions, he says that lack of time made it impossible to make such rules ef- fective earlier, though they should have been in force.

 Neighborhood athletic clubs can be of immense help in finding and collecting scrap. Boys and girls can form their own groups to cover dis trictS. Every possible source of old metal should be carefully searched -attics, cellars, garages, yards and barns are just a few of the places where scrap may be found.
 Although collection day is rot un- til Oct. IT, the sooner scrap is found and gathered together, the greater will be the amount that will be turned in on the day of the drivce.
 During the scrap raid" in August, almost 300 tons of metal was col- lected. The local official scrap depot has reported that under 10 tons re- mains of that amount.
 In order to avoid the confusion of two collections at once, the tin can collection originally scheduled for the week of Oct. 10 has been post poned until November.
 Tin Not Included
 However, J. Warren Upson, local salvage committee chairman, stated that people should continue saving the cans, as they are badly needed. He said that people should not turn in tin cans during the scrap metal drive, since they will only handicap the collectors. Tin cans must be put through a special process in order to salvage the tine, and therefore must be collected separately.
 Plans are being prepared to es- tablish permanent scrap collection depotS in various sections of the city after the Oct. IT drive, UpSon said. A f1ve-man committee is being appointed to make the arrange ments. Three members of the com- mHtee have already been announced with the other two posts to be filled later. The three members are Atty. Francis McDonald, John Collins and Thomas M Donahue.
 Slow Progress
 Max ZuSman, co-operator of the official Waterbury scrap depot, has stated that household scrap is very slow in being turned in at present. He added that the "very intense campaign" by the local newspapers supported by radio stations WATR and VERY should produce fine re- suits on Oct. IT. However success full conclusion can be obtained only if every person helps by searching his own home for metal which he is Tot using. Little odds and ends that might seem worthIeSS in themselves become of great value when one re- alizes that thousands of them are being turned in all over the country in this United Newspapers Scrap Drive.

GOOD BROTHER OF
 SLAYER AIDS HIM
Youth Who Killed Parents Will Have Lawyer to
 Defend Him

St. Louis, Sept. 25-CUP)-The good brother stood by the evil one today, engaging lawyer to defend him on two murder charges.
 The good brother is Charles A. Nash, Jr., A, who some day will be ordained priest of the Roman Catholic church. The evil one is Robert Smith Nash, 26, who killed their father and mother.
 There was no suggestion that the good brother wishes to lessen re- tribution which, Prosecutor Stanley Wallach said, would be death in Missouri's gas chamber. His attitude seemed to be that his brother was entitled to whatever defense he wished to offer.
 Charles Nash, Jr., who is studying for admission to the Society of Jesus Jesuit order), dressed in sober black, even to a black neck tie adorning his white shirt, visited Robert Smith Nash in jail. He was much more perturbed than his brother who had killed their par- ents. After saying hello, he said in strained voice:
 T guess you'll need an attorney"
 "Yeah,,'' Robert replied calmly, lighting a cigaret. "Get me a good lawyer"
 There was a long silence while Robert smoked one cigaret after the other. Charles left finally to hire 8 lawyer.
