Contest Teaches Use
OF Freeze Units

Learning how to use freezing
equipment to provide an ample sup
ply of homegrown food for farm
family use was popular among rural
boys and girls throughout the ma
tion last year. This is reflected in
the National All Frozen Foods
contest, which was offered for the
first time in 1945.
The contest is being continued
this year with the added feature
OF the national awards. 1t is de-
signed to stimulate interest in
learning what local foods are best
adapted to freezing, and how to
use home-freezer equipment ad-
vantageously and economically. 1t
also aims to develop skill in pre-
pairing, packaging, and freezing
meats, poultry, eggs, fish, fruits
and vegetables.

In addition, there are 10 educa-

for national winners. The national
awards are made preferably two to

and two at large.
The popularity of this poultry
project is emphasized by the fact
that in excess of 1000 counties
named winners for 1945, the first
year for this offer.

 and Fishing
 By
 GENE VALLON

Wanted: A SOLUTION TO THE POLLUTION.
 Whether 1t bi in the fresh waters of Connecticut, the saltwater fish ing spots in New York harbor or other regions within the eastern seaboard, good fishing always seems to be hindered by pollution of some sort or another-either from fac- tories or otherwise. As a result, hundreds of fish have been killed by poison, thus depriving any ang- Ter from enjoying his sport to a greater extent.
 This time 1t is the Long Meadow Brook. The pollution of this brook, believed to be caused by a chemical of some sort from one of the factories nearby, last week killed hundreds of sinners, perch, bull heads and suckers.
 The condition has developed from bad to worse, since last week Members of the Naugatuck Fish &; Game club, who have stocked this brook with trout, have report ed that the number of fish killed last Tuesday alone, surpass the total of last week. To date, fish are still dying.
 William Wise, chief engineer of the Connecticut State Water Works recently made an investigation and has sent a report on the situation to his department. The outcome of this investigation or report has not been revealed up to press-time
 Former president of the Nauga- tuck Club, Fred Baker, has con- tacted Dr. Russell P Hunter, super intendent of the State Board ot Fisheries and Game, in the interest of speeding action on the matter It was learned that Dr. Hunter can take no action in this case un- til the final report is received from the State Water Works. This re- port will reveal the factory, party or cause responsible for this pol lution. It should make good read ing material.
 There were no trout found among the fish that were killed by the pollution. This due to the fact that the trout stocked by the Nauga- tuck Fish and Game club are in the upper port of the Long Meadow Brook, while the de~I fish were found in the New Dam. This dam is fed by the brook at the lower end of its course.
 Th-s leads us to believe that the cause is somewhere between these two spots Very little thinking is
 quired to come to that conclu- sion. But by doing so, we would be putting our finger on someone 70 let's wait for the report.

 Today, the fund stands at $l9,0o0, and Lawson expects 1t to reach $20,000 before long.
 Dickie is assured of his legs, and a new chance in life as well A committee has been appointed to administer the fund, and see that Dick!e gets a college education and the financial start in life that he will need.
 But Dickie knows nothing of this. Unaware that he has attracted na- tionw!de attention, he plays hap- oily in his hospital bed, flirts shamelessly with his nurses.
