FORFEITED RIGHTS
 MEASURE ADOPTED
Time PrOvisO Included in Bill; George A. Faber's
 Bill Recalled

A new bill directly revising the manner of restoring voting right to individuals convicted of a crime was given its approval by the for feited right committee. This bill is the result of the critical atten- ton given to the petitions from the famous Waterbury conspiracy case defendants. The bill stipulates that such matters be taken care of by resolutions instead of by bills, add ding that no person be allowed to petition for restoration of his elec- tors rights until two years after his release and that the forfeited rights committee may investigate state police department facilities to study petitioners records.
 Rep. Ira Hicks of New Canaan, member of the forfeited rights com mittee, made a motion to recall the bill restoring foreifted rights to George A. Faber of Waterbury, for mer physician. and the House voted to do so. The bill was passed by both House and Senate.
 The representative said that the bill was recalled because of newly obtained information in the com mittee. Other members of the com mittee said that MT. Faber had lost his voting rights three times be- fore because of illegal operations.

contrast and the children find
themselves working out decorative
patterns with very little effort.
Older ones can fold large sheets of
paper to make strings of paper
dolls. flowers and various other
symbols. Pasted together, colored
paper may make party flowers,
Christmas tree decorations or
greeting cards which youngsters love
to send, use and receive.
+ Clay modelling is one OF the oldest
arts known to children. From their
first attempt at digging in the dirt
through their mud-pie days they
love getting their hands into clay
and working it with their fingers:
Two-year- -olds will roll clay into
balls, Snakes and patty cakes. At
4 they make grotesque faces with
large ears and noses. Here again,
they seldom start work with a plan
in their mind, but work the clay un-
til its form suggests a subject, and
then attempt to improve on the
idea.
These are all good hot-weather
play projects They also need little
supervision, beyond the provision of
the materials and few minutes in
struction on their use. 1t is a rest
for both parents and children to in
troduce this quiet type of play dur
ing enervating hot weather.

blowing soap bubbles, working sim

That Creative Instinct

Children love to make things. At
this time of year when the hot
weather Is beginning to pail and all
the vacation stunts have been tried,
it is a good plan to vary the pro-
gram by introducing few hand
craft projects Whether it Is paint
ing, carpentering, paper cutouts or
clay modelling, expose the child to
the working materials and leave him
alone to see what he does.
A small boy would probably rather
be turned loose with a box or two, a
barrel. few boards and a box of
nails and hammer than anything
else we might mention. He may
nail things together, it Is possible
that he might construct something
recognizable, but it is fairly certain
neither you nor he will be able to
name it before it is finished. From
3 TO 6 he will hammer for the fun
of hammering. If you ask him to
build a house or a train you merely
hamper his creative efforts. He
would rather put things together
and If it looks like something before
he is through he will probably tell
you that it is glider or COM
mando landing barge.
Too many of us expect remarkable
creations from our young fry. We
fail to realize that the child is in
terested only in the doing Compile
ton Is merely an incentive to start
all over again. A group of children
will spend days building a play
house, stand off and look at it for a
few moments. decide something Is
