The New London Eoftba1l League met and elected officers, among whom was a vice president, who answers to the name of Nor man Mcintyre. A great many long distance calls have come in, as we'll as Western Union telegramS, wondering if that wee lad was Mir. Big Boss in ye main yard. As far as we know, 'tis- him, 1t 'tis.
 In this league there are a bunch known as the Shipfitters and one would thing that with their boss as one of the heads of the league, they would have opened their sea- son in suspicious manner, but no, they were kalsomined by the Coast Guard Bears, 5-0. Think of 1t! My goodness.
 The team apparently wouldn't to Garvey's Racketeers, or vice versa. At any rate N. Mcintyre has been accused of heaving a heavy sigh as the Shipfitters lost.

New StateLaw In Rod &Gun

The big fish and game issues of this past season of the State Leg islature were fox bounties and deer hunting The former pitted the poultry farmers, especially those in the eastern part, or this section of the state, against the fox hunters and dog lovers. The House killed an outright state bounty on foxes, but adopted a bill providing for state reimbursement, up to 50 per cent, of town payments for fox bounties. A proposal for permits to hunt deer in state forests never came to vote on the floor after criticism of 1t had been aired in a Republican House caucus.
 The law on public fishing and hunting grounds was amplified so that such places may be acquired by agreement or purchase, as well as lease. Wardens were given authority to seize implements abandoned in an attempt to con- ceal evidence of law violation.
 Persons in the armed services were given the right to hunt and fish for the duration, without licen- Ses, in bill pushed through so that 1t became law almost simultan- eously with the opening of the trout season.
 After considering various pro- poSals for revision of the creel limit on trout, the Legislature fin- ally voted that no person should take in any one day more than 10 trout, or more than five pounds and one trout, or any species except lake trout, for which the daily limit is three, without weight limit or rainbow trout in ponds, for which the daily limit Is five with no weight limit.
 The shad season was set as April 1 to June IS, with the ban on Sun- day fishing removed for the dura- tion of the war. All's well but the OPA. ~ 3s N i.ssss,.

Morning Baseball

We'll, the first morning baseball game was held in Boston, and if the Idea catches on, there may be crack -of-dawn games around the circuit. These early morning games will change the picture of the great American pastfme. It's going to sound queer to hear a fan com plaining that he was late for the game because his alarm clock was busted.
 The morning game was ar
 ranged to let defense workers
 see some baseball. The man.
 agement could also change
 some terms to help make the
 ship and gun builders feel at
 home. For instance, the head of the batting order would be

The Sub
 Replying to the article appearing in the Sub as of June 3rd '43, the heading of which read "No Beach for Groton, Why?" by an anony- nous writer who wants us to know he is a defense worker who quoted Jim Brady as being braggarly of his political power. Where this an- anonymous defense worker got his information regarding my political power, would be news to me.
 Anybody acquainted with the political situation in the town of Groton would be aware that Yours Truly Is not in any way connected with the political powers in our town, but as a citizen of the town of Groton for a good many years, l take exception to the writer criticising my efforts in behalf of any worthy public spirited move ment that would be for the bet torment of our towns people, and if this new arrival would have &C., quainted himself instead of conjur- ing, he would have been more constructive and less fault-finding.
 It would seem to me that the writer would be grateful to the citizens of the town of Groton for the oportunity for the livelihood he and his family are receiving by their foresight.
 This question of beach is an old story and at the present time we people in Groton have other things of more importance than beaches. However, if he is desirous of know ing if Yours Truly Is favorable to the expenditure of money for the development of beach at the ex- pense of our towns people, my answer is decidedly no. We have all the tax burden we can shoulder for some years to come, and if he has any mistaken ideas that l am in any way in fear of the outcome of my decision on my political career, allow me to inform him l have never sought political office and nothing is further from my mind at this writing. However, If 1 was seeking political office, l have al- ways had the courage of my convic- ton, and my answer would be still no.
 The anonymous writer isn't kid- ding anyone. He isn't interested in any new beach development be- cause if he has been along our wa terfront in Groton, he knows there aren't any facilities for bathing beach. What he Is suggestive of is the trespassing on the rights of oth- CTS who have spent their money in a private enterprise in the develop ment of what is known as Shen- necossett Beach. These people who have paid their money for this de- velopEnent of the Shennecossett Beach have paid taxes as we'll as a yearly specified amount for that privilege for a good many years, and are not obligated to the citizens of Groton, let alone any newcomer for other than their taxes.
 Believe you me, we have enough of non-taxable property at the present time without burdening ourselves with more~ The people in the town of Groton experienced enough of new developments that left us holding the bag after the last World War.

Tempers are notoriously bad in the morning. There should be a fine crop of rows at the dawn games.

 When an early morning pitcher is knocked out of the box 1t will be only few min- utes between his showers.
 Of course the unpires will be accused of being drowsy. And the loud-mouthed fans are sure to holler: Hey, did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?"
 The Lucky seventh" inning will have to be moved, too. The fans will want to stretch when the players trot onto the field. There wasn't much of a crowd at the first morning game. It will take some time before the customers get accustomed to eating peanuts and Ice cream before breakfast.
 Slogan to help gather them in to the ball yards:
 Start the day right by see- ing a ball game"
 These early birds in the out field had better catch something besides the worm.
 The morning contest is, of course, due to the war and we suppose they will ultimately be called Victory Games though one team has to lose.
 Wonder if the OPA will make the team cut out extra innings.
 At any rate the morning ball game will be a great thing for the housewives. Their husbands will be able to get home in time for supper.

tual message from him to Congress
But while he checks the figures,
personally, force of accountants
and Investigators in the Budget
Bureau-headed by Director Harold
D. Smith, prepared most of the data
after consultation with all the agen-
cies concerned.
Especially because of the size of
the figures, the President is expected
to say something about how We'll
pay for these outlays. Existing
taxes, in the same IL months, prob
ably won't bring in, officials indi-
Gated, more than about $30,000,-
100000. Leaving roughly $70,OOO,-
100000 to be borrowed from the
public unless, as is expected, Mr.
Roosevelt trims the borrowing figure
by asking for still more taxes.
Anti-Inf1ation Plan Hinted.
Reports have been current for
weeks that an anti-inflation pro-
gram of additional taxes and COM
pulsory savings amounting to be-
tween $4,000, 100000 and s2O,Oo0,-
600 900 was being discussed by Gov
ernment economists.
These experts figure that spend
ing of borrowed money by the Gov
ernment puts into the hands of the
public extra cash which could be
used to force up the cost of living
If it weren't taken away In more

1,00O-Page Budget
Will Be Ready for
Congress Monday
Printers Cont Finish
Work in Time for
Delivery Friday
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The most expensively worded book
in history-the United States budget
which Will call for cash spending of
more than 100000, 600, 900 in the
next fiscal year-went to press
today.
Because it is also one of the big
gest and most complicated books
published each year, it will not be
ready for public reading until Mon
day, when clerks will read the in
PRODUCTION to both houses Of Con-
gress.
President Roosevelt explained at a
press conference late yesterday that
mechanical problems made it doubt
full whether the public printer would
be able to finish printing the statis-
tical tables in time for the budget
to 90 to Congress Friday, as orig
inally scheduled. Definite postpone
ment until Monday was announced
later.
Containing about 1000 pages of
fine type, the annual financial blue
print of the Federal Government
will be primarily a bill, rendered by
the gods of war, as part of the price
Of victory.
War Items About 100 Billions.
The document will contain few
millions for routine things like forest
conservation or beetle control. but
the direct war costs for the Army,
Navy, Maritime Commission, Lease
Lend and similar activities, alone,
are about 100000, 100000.
That's about $4,000, ,000,0 900 more
than is being spent in the current
fiscal year, which will end June 80,
1943. It's about four times as much
as was spent by this country In the
World War. It's more than England
and Germany, and all the other
belligerents are spending a year, put
together
At that, officials said, the only
reason the figure wasn't bigger is
that it represents the largest sum
which the experts believe can be
spent in q year, considering the
prospective output of American war
factories. The figure was made up
by adding the value of planes, and
tanks and ships and other things
that would be produced in the r.
month period, plus such other items
as soldier and civilian government
payrolls, and the interest on the
public debt.

To run an unnecessary risk OF illness
was always foolish. It is now worse
than foolish; it is unpatriotic, as well.
There are, unfortunately, a good
many illness that nobody knows
enough about as yet, to forestall. In
fantile paralysis is one of these. All
we can do for the dread polio as yet,
is to keep a watchful eye out for it
and treat it when it appears. The con-
trast is striking between our weapons
against polio and those we have been
able to develop against small pox and
diphtheria.
We are spending thousands Of anx-
ious dollars yearly looking for like
protection against polio and we tell
ourselves that we shall rush to take
advantage of such protection when
it is finally available for US. Bue viii
we?
Small pox and diphtheria we're far
more deadly and far more prevalent
than infantile paralysis in the old days.
Effective, simple and safe projections
were developed against them. But have
we all rushed to take advantage OF
them? The happy fact that a great
many people have done so is respon-
sibIe for phenomenal reduction in both
diseases But there are still thousands
of unprotected children and adults
and war with its almost certain cpl
deuic is here LaZineSS, indifference
and ignorance about these projections
have become, instead Of merely regret
| table, serious sins against the war ef-
fort. Every baby should be vaccinated
against small pox and immunized diph-
iberia by the time he is year old
Every adult should be re-vaccinated
against small pox every five to seven
years.

How to Secure Obedience

How can I succeed in getting my
child to want to obey me?"
This question, asked by the mother Of
a six-year child, shows a real un-
derstanding Of the need of getting at
the roots of behavior. This child's
mother knows that it is not enough TO
make child obey, to force him into
acceptable behavior. She sees that if
discipline is to be really effective as
an aid in encouraging more and more
responsible attitude in the child, it
must be carefully thought out, must
take account of his feelings about what
is expected Of him.
How can we get cooperation, and
avoid arousing resentment? Enforced
compliance may do very well at the
time, but it is not character building.
Our attitude in making requests Of our
children is very important, as has been
shown in a very interesting study in
which various ways of getting children
to do things were tried. The form in
which We make reqeust influences
how children respond.
Two groups of children between the
ages OF three and twelve were given
certain tasks to do, each group being
given different directions. Thus, in
one instance, one group was told, when
making something Of paper, Cut it
IN the corner to save paper" With the
other group the negative approach was
used: Don't waste the paper" Does
it surprise you to find that the first
group cooperated much better than the
second? In another part Of the ex-
pertinent, one group was told, when
they were engaged in difficult task,
"You can do it" in an encouraging
tone of voice The others were asked
rs it too hard for you?" Ninety-five
per cent of the first group succeeded
in their task, while only five per cent
of the second carried it to completionl
