 Old timers say that due to the fact that we here had heavy blanket of snow covering the fields since the middle of Decem- Der there is every reason to believe that we will have good crop of hay this next summer. Many who have considerable stock and land on which hay is usually cut found 1t necessary to purchase much western baled hay this winter with a great increase in the cost ot feeding. The grass is coming ID rapidly now in Cheshire and .lany large patches of green are now seen where a few days ago a white blan- ket of snow covered all the land, One old time Cheshire resident was observed by the winter moving his lawn day before yesterday.
 As conditions are at present everybody working beyond capacity this old timer is probably of the opinion that he should get the jump on the grass. Grass grows very rapidly in Cheshire when the season is at all favorable and if the lawn mower is not brought into use early in the season 1t will be necessary to use the scythe.
 The number of people able to use . scythe who understand their use is not great.

Service at Home

The discharged Serviceman return ing to Naugatuck is finding that the Red Gross is still "at his side" Carlisle B. Futile. chairman of the Naugatuck Red Cross chapter. said today.
 A full program of services for vet erans and their families is avail able through the Naugatuck Red Cross chapter to help returning serv- icemen make a satisfactory and prompt adjustment to civilian life, MT. Futile stated
 Advice and assistance in preparing and filing claims for government benefits, information regarding leg islation applying to veterans and their families, and. in some in- stances, financial aid during the per iod claims are pending are impor- tant parts of the local Red Cross "Serviceman'S recoaVersion pro- gram" the local Red Cross chair man pointed out.
 Equally important as the direct help given is the spirit of friend ly. neighborly understanding that our workers extend to our fighting men upon their return MT. Futile declared. Workers familiar with community. federal and state re- sources are eager to help each of our veterans in this vital task. They will not make decisions for the re- turning serviceman. but will help him make his own decisions by providing him with the information and guid- ance necessary for adequate adjust ment."
 Upon discharge from the service, veterans are told of their rights and privileges and referred to their loca. Red Cross chapters for further in- formation and aid. MT, Futile said.
 Prom training camp to battle field. our fighting men have learned to count on the Red Cross for friendly help and advice in meeting personal problems" the chapter chairman said. Now. we in Nauga- tuck want our men to know that the Red Cross Is still at their side. The same spirit of ilelpfulness which characterized Red Cross overseas clubs and field directors with com- bat units will motivate the services rendered to these men by the Nau- gatuck Red Cross chapter"
