Woven with the wool of llama, vicuna or alpaca, stamped on cot ton, or sewn out of feathers, these pieces are representative of the fine ornamental feeling of the an- cient Paracas, Chimu and Inca cul- lures and of the best traditions of Peruvian textiles. The convention alized designs of cats, fish, birds and snakes compare Strikingly with elements of modern art, and the textiles demonstrate the tech nical skill of their remote weavers. Detailed descriptions of the tech nique and subject matter accom- pany each piece in the exhibition, which is attracting many visitors to the Union.
 The vast collection from which these works were selected was gathered by MT. George Hewitt Meyers, President of the Textile Museum. These pieces were includ- ed in the Ancient Peruvian Tex tiles Exhibition which was circu- lated throughout the United States in 1945 and 1946, first by the Di- vision of Intellectual Cooperation of the Pan American Union and later by the Council for Inter American Cooperation of New York.
 The current exhibition will re- main open until June 10.

Harrison declared that Charlie Taft is the liberal member of the Taft family" = an allusiOn that brought cheers from the cOnven- tiOn.
 "He comes as a friend of Organ~ ized labor and great citizen, who is attempting to bring about more wholesome acceptance of Christian principles in everyday life," Har- risOn added.
 He also referred to the fact that Charles Taft had served both the city and the nation with diStinC- tiOn" and that he was the first lay" man to be elected president of the Federal Council of Churches of America.
 Taft himself told the convention that "the reason for the success of labor in the United States is teamwork"
 Democratic processes are lesson in teamwork" he said. "YOu can't have real teamwork in an autOC- racv or tOtalitarian state.e
 The church, he added, is deeply concerned with the relationship between management and labor and the need of teamwork be- tween them.

Tn the past few years have had quite a lot of discussions about the eel and always have given in to the other fellow as to the difference between a fresh water eel or salt water eel. The man who tells you that these eelS are not one and the same is all wrong, as the common eel whether caught in salt or fresh water is the same.
 I am going to make this story as brief as possible and still bring out the fact that what I write in these lines are of rue facts.
 From ancient times the eel, so un- fiShlike in appearance, has been something of mystery. It has all ways been known during the fall months that the mature eels leave our rivers in large numbers and are never seen again. It has also been known that in the spring large numbers of small eels only a few inches long come up into our rivers and streams, but no one seemed to be able to find out where the old eels went or where the young come from. Eels were never found to breed in European or American rivers or ponds. The problem was to find out where the young eels were born. It is only in recent years that this problem has been solved. A very strange story

Remarkable Life of the Common Eel
By CHARLES CHAPMAN

the eel gives us from its birth to it's death.
 This is a fact story proven be- yond the possibility of dispute, that every eel found in rivers, ponds, brooks, or ditcheS was born far out and down deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Large cells couple of feet long may be caught in ponds hun dreds of miles from the ocean and far from rivers Or thousands of feet above the ocean level, but they were still born in the depths of the ocean very near the Bermudas and made their way up rivers ocross wet marshland and even across fields to the ponds that are not near the ocean.
 If these eels are left alone, they will after a few years, make their way book to the ocean. They vii, then travel back to the place where they were born and after produc- ing their young they presumably die or form food for other sea creatures for they are never seen again. Following is how the bona fide facts about the eel was found out by man.
 In 1904 Dr. Joseph Schmidt was appointed by the Inter national Council for the Study of the Sea to carry out fresh in vestigations in the sea around Ice land and the Faroes, and, trawling one day he brought up lepto- cepthalus 71z centimetres long. It was the first time that one of these creatures had been found outside the Mediterranean.
 For seventeen years Dr. Schmidt carried on his investigation. He not only showed that larval eels found throughout the upper surface wa ters of the Atlantic from Iceland to the Madeiras, but that all the leptocephali of western Europe came from the Atlantic. He tracked them until he actually found their breeding places in the West Indian waters. He tracked the larvel eels in the western Atlantic until he was between Leeward Islai.ds and the Bermudas.
 If after reading the above article about the eel, you still have any doubt as to fresh and salt water eels being one and the same, you are invited to call at my home here on Benham Road, Groton, and I will give you more true facts that I have not room to print in tine Eastern Connecticut News.

ReOrientatiOn Material Sought for Japanese

The War and State Departments appealed jointly today to individ- ualS, institutions and organizations throughout tine country to supple ment the occupation reeducation program in Japan by contributing printed matter, pictures and other educational materials which might help in the democratic reorienta- tion of the Japanese people. An es- timated ten per cent of the Jap anese population read and under stand English.
 The War Department has already undertaken a large-Scale program of procuring international and ed ucational materials for Japan. In addition, private American con- cerns have for some time been sending news, magazines and mo- ton pictures into Japan under spe- cial arrangements in connection with that program. But the task of -eaching over 75,0O0,000 Japanese quickly and effectively is so great that public support through vol untary contributions of materials is urgently needed to supplement the efforts of the occupation au- thoritieS
 Among the materials needed are books, laboratory equipment and such classroom supplies as blank paper, chalk, pencils. crayons, erasers, notebooks, etc. Worthwhile books, which are not outmo oded, are most urgently needed in the following specific categories: gen. eral literature for adults and chill dren, history, biography, the nat ural sciences, educational meth ods, engineering, architecture, in- dustrial relations, music, philOs- ophy, religion, political science, the American scene and democratic customs and institutions.
 Material which fosters militar- ism, race hatred or anti-democratic ideas will not be accepted. The Su- preme Commander Allied Powers (SCAP) reserves the right to re- ject any materials not considered suitable.
 Contributions will be made avail able to the Japanese through SOAP Information Centers in Ja- pan, and loaned or given to schools, civic groups, libraries and other organizations which can reach large numbers of people.
 Contributions should not be sent directly to Japanese individuals or groups. They should be addressed and mailed to: Civil Information and Education Section, General Headquarters, Supreme Command CT for the Allied Powers, APO 500. care Postmaster, San Fran cisco, California (For Military Agency-Gift).
 Inquiries concerning contribu- tions may be addressed to: War Department, Civil Affairs Division, Attn: Chief, Reorientation Branch, 4B861, Pentagon Building, Wash ington 25, D. c.
