Rose marie WlnsloWtlme and now he
keeps over 500 hives.
The honey man told us that many
of his friends-bankers, business
men and ministers, in particular
take great pleasure in keeping bees,
and are exceedingly interested in
their habits. 1t is a hobby with
them.
The honey that is best and most
valuable is the pine honey. This
brand candies almost Immediately.
Another interesting little story the
honey man told us concerns a boy
who was anemic. Physicians gave
him treatment after treatment, but
to no avail. The boy was in ex-
tremely dangerous condition when
his mother happened to hear our
honey man say that honey is good
for anemics. The mother bought
two buckets of it and tried it. The
boy liked it and ate goodly amount.
In a short time, he was as normal
Q boy as the next one.
Our honey man told us, too, that
one day, he was tracking the bees
and he came to hollow tree where
he heard loud droning. He smoked
out the bees, but had to cut down
the whole tree to get the honey.
The bees often store up more honey
than they need and keep storing it
up year after year. The time he
was telling us about, much to his
surprise, he found barrels of honey
in this enc tree.
In the winter the bees feed their
young with honey mixed with water
and they also feed the baby bees
pollen. So. our honey man said,
when YOUR IN the woods and you
find creek or pond, you can line up
your hives right there and then.
Now that sugar is rationed, it is
good time to try out the different
ideas and recipes for honey.
To make your butter go further,
for instance, mix one-third butter
and two-thirds honey; it makes the
most delicious spread you ever
tasted. ..
Right now, I've made myself so
hungry, I've got to go make myself
some. I'm grateful to our honey
man for his ideas and stories.

Many Things Go
Into the MAKING
OF Our Flag
Prize Contribution.
BY MARY AXELSON,
Powell Junior High School.

1t is some cloth and some dye
made by a machine or by a
needle, a thread and hand.
1t doesn't sound like much; yet
many men have given their
lives for it and, after death,
have been covered by its folds.
1t is the most honored and
respected of all things save one,
and that is not of this world.
The worst of all crimes is to
betray it to its enemies.
Yes, our flag is made of cloth
and dye, but they are not all. 1t
is made of the tears, the blood,
the sweat, the hopes of men.
1t is made of the dreams of
free Americans.

Its very interesting subject"
Carl says, land I decided to find out
more about it"
In the library of the Southeast
Boys Club, Carl found an illustrated
book on petroleum-what it is,
where and how it is obtained, and
how it u prepared for wide variety
| of important uses. He decided to
build an oil derrick, using one of
the pictures in the book as guide.
81 built it from some scraps of
wood I found behind the new Dis
trict National Guard Armory," Carl
explains "It's "a inches high, and
it really works"
Carl painted his derrick, hooked
it up to a toy motor given to him
by friend and set it in field made
of few scraps of artificial grass
found near his home. Everybody
who saw it said it looked like the
real thing" so he thought his class
mates might be interested in seeing
it. And the teacher liked it SO vel
that she exhibited it to the entire
school.
"It took about two weeks to build
just working on it at odd moments
after school, Carl says. But il
was a lot of fun and now I think
I'll get busy and build some other
things. It's swell hobby"

A comparative newcomer to Bradley Field, Captain Charles Valentine has proven himself a capable and popular Officer.
 The Captain, a veteran of over 20 years in the "old" Army, was a First Sergeant in the enlisted re- serve for several years before re- ceiving his Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery on March 25, 1925. He was assigned as a Reserve Officer to the 497th Field Artillery Regiment, Chicago, Illinois, and completed numerous tours of active duty with the organ ization at Camp Mccoy, Wisconsin.
 When the transition from horse drawn to mechanical artillery was contemplated, Captain Valentine attended the Caterpillar Tractor School where Officers were being orientated to the revolutionary methods.
 In April, 1929, the Captain re- ceived his silver bar proclaiming him First Lieutenant. He was called to active service on February 15, 1942, and reported to Westover Field where he was as signed as Base Classification Off, cer. In March, 1942, he first attend ed the AGO School of Administra- tion and later the AGO School for Classification. On December 12, 1942, he was promoted to the rank of Captain.
 On September 27 of this year, he was ordered to Bradley Field to as- sume the duties of Base S-1 Off, cer.
 Captain Valentine is married and calls the town of Glen Falls, N. Y., his home. There he resides with his wife, Marjorie, and their five-year- old son, Raymond.

Retention Of Rent
Control Is Asked

The New Haven Central Labor
Council went on record unanimously
at its last meeting as favoring the
retention of O.P.A. Rent Control and
opposing any change that would
weaken the effectiveness of the sys-

The Council also passed a resO-
luton asking Gov. Baldwin to retain
the present Judges of the Juvenile
Court of the State in order not to
weaken the court system. The
judges are Fred ID. Faulkner, Max
Spelke, and Thomas ID. Gill. They
were appointed for interim terms
two years ago by Gov. Robert A.
Hurley at the close of the I94I
session of the General Assembly,
and were thus never confirmed by
the Senate.

as follows:

WHEREAS, this program has
effectively curbed the danger of in
flation of rent increases due to the

The letter, which condemned Brew

by John F. Desmond, a worker, who
has given an affidavit to the union

Although the letter was an OBJ

N.H.Labor Attacks
Order On Women

Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin's
Executive Order No. 2, which abOl-
ished limitation on hours of en-
plOyment of women, was hit in a
resolution by the New Haven Cen
trail Labor Council, passed at its
last meeting. The same order was
attacked by Senators at the Capitol
and members of the Factory In

ment of Labor.
Delegate Carl G. Hoff, member
of the N. III. Councils Legislative
Committee, who introduced the
resolution which condemned the
Governors use of his War Power
authority to suspend labor legisla-
ton, said:
There is something very peculiar
about the Governors using his special
power to suspend labor legislation.
Is he going to use that power exclu-
sively to nullify the labor laws?"
The resolution follows:
''RESOLVED, That the New

ing Gov. Baldwin's use of his
War Power authority in revoking
