LOCAL GROUPS TO
 PROTEST DAM HERE
Meeting Scheduled for Sat. urday at 2:3O, Second
 Public Objection

Thomaston, June 2 - Ofacials of Thomaston's leading industries, town officials and businessmen from here and other parts of the Naug- atuck valley will gather at the Town Hall at 2:3 o'clock Saturday after noon to protest to Congressman Jo- seph E. Talbot the construction of the proposed five million dollar fed eral flood control dam in this town.
 This will be the second public meeting held in connection with the project, the first being held in Wa terbury several weeks ago at which there appeared practically no oppo- sition. However, since the passage of the omnibus bill by the House ot Representatives in Washington, con- taining funds for the post war con- struction of the local dam, many lo- cal and valley business leaders have voiced strong opposition.
 Preesnt indications are that the court room, where the meeting is being arranged, will not be large enough to accommodate the gather ing and the opera house will have to be used. Among those who will be in attendance will be Ralph L. French, president of the Plume and Atwood Manufacturing Company Karl W. Hallden of the Hallden Machine Company a representative of the Seth Thomas Clocks, Allan Innes of Ines Brothers. Inc, Town Clerk J. Howard Roberts and Charles P. Pendelton of the Thom- aston Savings Bank. Local residents and persons owning property along the valley above Thomaston are also expected to be present.

YOUR GARDEN
RhOdOdendrOnS Need Acid Soil

kill buds Provide winter protection with a screen of burlap placed around and not over the exposed face of the planting.
 Rhododendrons bloom profusely one year and very little the next. There is little We can do about it other than providing ideal condi- tions.
 Too deep planting and or too heavy a mulch is another reason for failure. Always plant at the same depth the plant stood in the nursery. Invariably there is some native low growth about the plant and this should not be covered with soil. A light mulch of either oak leaves or peat moss may be safely applied. The ideal soil Is composed of equal parts of peat moss, clay soil and gravel. Routed COW manure, mixed well with the soil before planting, is a splendid fertilizer, Many growers recommend adding raw bonemeal or supeFphosphate to the manure. Do not use fertilizer strong in nitrogen.
 Cultivate well around rhododen- drons and where the soil Is heavy. Never pack the soil about the roots when planting. After plants are through blooming, take pointed small shears and nip out the faded flower heads. not damaging the neg growth under this years bloom. Re- noval of faded flowers will improve the growth of bloom buds for next year. Curied foliage and brown specks on the under side Of the leaves are caused by lace-wing files which are controlled by thoroughly spraying the under side of the leaves with a nicotine-sulfate soapy water solution. Two or three spray. ings may be necessary.
