IF YOU'VE never seen an ele-

for such flight of fancy as you
never expected because "Dumbo."
the latest and greatest Of the
Disney full-length cartoon features
has come 10 town.
After several colorful expert
ments in this particular medium,
Disney has decided to let Leopold
Stokowski and Robert Benchley go
their own ways, and has settled
down 10 the wonderfully creative
job OF giving life 10 the little char
acters OF his own imagination.
Here, in Dunn b o." he has
achieved the ultimate.
The story of the little circus
elephant, who is outlawed by his
associates, who is ridiculed by his
friends and who is deserted even
by members Of his own tribe,
reaches a point Of such charm and
pathos. that il is unbelievable.
We know that, 10 say we have
fallen in love with a puny pachy-
derm with large ears and wistful
expression, makes us fair prey for
the guy in the white coat, but if
you don't find this imaginary
animal child just as adorable. then
we're really wrong Our guess is
that. after the first glimpse Of
him you will tear off your top and

 Leo F. Card, Michigan Commis- sioner of Agriculture, said, If price ceilings aren't lifted, they will wreck the whole picture. I'm not 50 sure they haven't wrecked 1t already"

 The Department of Agriculture warned that the machinery problem may become increasingly acute url- der present plans to limit 1943 out put of new machinery to 20 per cent of i940 production.
 Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard advised farmers to share equipment wiht neighbors, and many states were reported already prac- ticing large scale pooling.
 Sharing plans were counted on to avert serious trouble in Iowa and other rich midwestern states possess ing large amounts of relatively new, well-maintained equipment and heavy allotments for spare parts.
 Oklahoma, however, foresaw . 2 1-2 per cent crop reduction next year as a result of machinery short ages, and Kansas. California and Alabama also predicted trouble in meeting production goals.
 c. J. Borum, Michigan crop sta tistician. said farmers often paid exorbitant prices for used equip ment.
 "I have heSrd of tractors four and five years old being sold for a: much as they cost new" he said "A recent report told of a used hay loader which sold for $8 in 194l bringing $33 this spring and $6S thi' fall"
 The farmers increased reliance on machinery makes careful opera ton and maintenance essential farm leaders said. But older men women and students, who have re- placed trained hands, are reported generally inefficient and inept al handling costly equipment.
 Rationing
 In most of the nation agriculture officials expected liberal allotment: of tires and gasoline to the farmer as an indispensable home front sol dier.
 But leaders in some western ant midwestern states feared that ration boards might not take into full ac count the great distances and ire. quently inadequate railroad net works which handicap the farmer in the more sparsely populated sections.

Because the sale and registering of a soldiers automobile is fre- quently delayed due to his having neglected to give someone the auth ority to sign for him before leaving ing the state, Motor Vehicles Com missioner John T. Mccarthy today reminded inductees that they might find it convenient later if they gave someone power-of- attorney before leaving the state.
 'The sale or registering of a car are among the many transactions requiring his signature that a sol- dier may want tended to when he is far from Connecticut. It may save him inconvenience later if he gives someone power-of-attomey before he goes"
 Such power-of-attorney must be certified by a properly authorized person such as a notary public. any lawyer in his capacity of commis- sioner of superior court, or a jus- tice of the peace, and must be regis tered with the otwn clerk. Any pa- pers signed by power-of-attorney must be registered with the town clerk.
