Some Criticism Some sources claim that the FACC is responsible again here for the price increase.

BIGELOW new in 'competition anhas Game developed Club at and, the as is Ludlow to be Fish expected, skeet shooters are mixed up in it. It seems that some of the Ludlow members got all "het up" over "mo-skeet," as this new stunt is called." A miniature trap gun shoots out equally miniature clay birds.

The marksman stands behind the trap and tries to break the pigeons with a smooth-bore rifle. Maybe some of you "sharpshooters" think it sounds easy. Well, you may be in for a sad awakening it you dare try it. to get back to our story. Some of the regular skeet shooterg have had a grand time razzing the mo- skeet pop- gun artists.

This has gone about far enough, according to the mo-skeeters and a challenge has been issued--we do not know from which side of the fence to a match. We only hone werare there to witness it-if and when it ever takes place. We only hope there will be 110 matches; one where each side shoots specialty and the other when they swap guns and ranges and then see what happeus. But now, just to change the subject, We want our angling readers to take a squint at what ap. pears above.

Frank Lewicki of 223 Worthington Street is holding one of the biggest large-mouth bass WO have seen for many a day; by far the largest caught in any waters this season. The largest fish tipped the scales at seven pounds one ounce--and it had lost considerable weight from shrinkage, at that. The other weighed better than three pounds. Lewicki and Edward Garbulanski of Bridge Street. West Springfield, were fishing at a Granby pond--no, we will not tell you which one.

They had pulled their boat un to shore and en lunch. While waiting for his comed casting his little poppet bugs panion to finish, eating, Lewicki startjust to pass the time, The big bass hit it and Lewicki set the hook. He yelled for his companion. they climbed into the boat and the fun was on. They followed that fish, or mayhe the fish towed them, several hundred feet before Lewicki could I get things under control with his light fly rod.

When he finally wore the bass out they found the net would not hold him SO the only war they could boat it was by grabbing its gills and hauling it overside. While performing this operation the bass rather fell apart, which accounts for its peculiar appearance.

WOULD REVIVE 104TH REGIMENT YD Chapter Will Start Re- cruiting, Training Revival of a new f04th regiment, trained and officered by old officers of the famous YD, was considered seriously at a meeting of Springfeld Chapter, Yankee Division Veterans' Association, last night in Hotel Charles. Takes In Wide Area The Springfield Chapter, which has within its fold chapters in Northampton, Holyoke, Greenfield, Pittsfield and North Adams, will be the first in A later date training. The YD the state to start recruiting panda at will be an important adjunct to the training.

In line with this endeavor, the chapter voted unanimously in favor of the following resolution, signed by Comdr. Roy M. Coons and C. E. Ross, chairman of the national defense committee.

of the Springfeld Chapter. The Resolution "Whereas, we, the Springfeld (Mass.) Chapter of the Yankee Division Veterans' Association, consider that this, our beloved country, the United States of America, is in grave danger from her enemies within and without, and "Whereas, we believe that the maintenance of peace, security, and American institutions, may depend upon our being able to hold these privileges, force, therefore "Be it resolved: that we go on record as being in favor of an adequate national defense, and "Be it further resolved: that, inasmuch as man power is the prime requisite of national defense, we urge all men, who possibly do 80, to enlist in some branch of the Nation's military or naval service." Holyoke Census Reports Incomplete Recount Under Way; Pay of Enumerators Withheld Omission of 200. to 300 names in the enumeration of Holyoke causes a delay in compiling the population total of this single remaining untabulated community Hampden County, John Wisnoski. now in charge of the count, revealed last night. Enumerators failed to note many families in the Paper City, with the result that Wisnoski is busy checking districts and filling in the record.

The difficulty in the Holyoke count has prevented any study of the cmployment and housing data for the county. The omissions In Holyoke have held 100 the pay vouchers of 15 or 20 enumerators in that city. Although pay for remainder of the counters in the county. was approved, in some cases three weeks ago, many of them are complaining that they have not yet received their wages.

Probably few other people in this area are as well read on current chelle of this city and Longmeadow world events as Dr. Fred D. LaRowho has been a prominent member of the medical profession here for many years is head of the Springfeld Infirmary. Even to say that Dr.

LaRochelle is a prodigious reader is to use 2 mild adjective. Just to keen up on current history, he reads four or nve American newspapers daily and sevferal from Europe, including Italy, Spain and France. The European newspapers are those printed in the language of the particular country, and Dr. La Rochelle is capable of reading A half -dozen or more tongues. In addition to the newspapers which really constitute only a lighter part of his reading, Dr.

LaRochelle constantly is going over leading medical journals from all no over the world and also finds time to read many of the books on current history. Like the newspapers, A some of those books also come from abroad and are printed in German, French or Italian. Examples of the red tape that hold back defense work have shown up at Westover Field, the U. S. Army's northeast air base in Chicopee Falls, in the last few days, according to the Springfield Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies.

A valve costing no more than $300 was needed immediately. Officials knew the Chapman Valve Mfg. Co. had 011 hand, but they had to call for bids from several concerns, and the Springfield concern was lowest. A.

londed truck v. leaving the factory, the valve war tossed on and the driver aped for the base. But the valve could not he accented because the driver had only two invoice slips and the government requires four. Back went the truck driver factory, got the extra forms, and finally delivered the valve. Another firin is building A small building at the base, which might be a tool shed and measures no more than 10 10 feet.

It windows and a concrete floor. Nevertheless the contractor has to samples of all sand, cement, materials, and the window glass, to government testers, and walt for approval before he can proceed with the work. Folks who fear exhaustion of this country's oil supply because it might mean confining the family car to the garage on week ends for lack of gasoline would find relief from worries it they could take a look at what some oil men are doing with an oil field near Walters, Okla. The field, discovered in 1917. produced heavily for several years.

Eventually the wells were put on the pump and production gradually declined. Six years ago an oil company decided to apply a method of resuscitation known to the petroleum industry as repressuring. Some acres were taken over, and 20 key wells were cleaned. Electrically driven compressors were installed, and gas was pumped into the wells. According the theory, the gas would penetrate, sands, strip of permit to be produced at a declining rate.

It was estimated that the output might gO as high 08 250 barrels a day, then drop below 200. I'roduction has averaged 500 barrels a day for six years. While one barrel of oil has been produced for every 769 cubic feet of gas injected 838 cubic feet of gas have been recovered for every barrel of oil produced. In month of 1939 the wells, on theory, should have produced only 5500 barrels of oil. Actual production was nearly 10,000 barrels greater.

Indications now are that even if no new wells were discovered the industry would obtain large production by such secondary recovery methods, One Springfield Union reporter probably just missed the best eyewitness story of his life early yesterday morning, but he is not sorry, no sir. Driving toward Holyoke just before 1 a. m. in West Springfield, he noticed an unlighted automobile moving on the wrong side of the road out of a parking place. The lights of the machine snapped on and it wavered, still on the wrong side of the road.

The two machines slowed down a8 they approached each other, the reporter cursed and debated stopping and giving the other driver a piece of his mind. When he had passed the other machine the newsman Joked curiously to see where the machine had come from, and recognized the dark outline of the Wayside Inn. Later that morning he nicked up the rovers and read how four bandits. armed with shotguns: had emerged from the same spot, in the same manner, at the same time. lie also learned they seem to have A habit of shooting their way through obstacles.

CITY NOTES A record in enrollment is being made at Dr. William N. DeBerry's camp at Last Brookfield. At present boys are registered, coming from all sections of the East and from points as far distant as Virginia aud Tennessee. The hoys will leave the last of the month and an equally large number of girls will be in camp for the month August.

'affair for Rhode Island with many notables in State, Nation, Army and Navy present, though the Little Rhody is not paying any of the cost of the $3,000,000 gateway to Newport. The bridge, which work has been 1111- der way for two years, will actually cost when completed the sum of $3,134,000, counting in the approaches. Of this sum the Federal government through the Public Works Administration, has granted 45 per cent and the Jamestown Bridge Commission is responsible for the other 63 per cent. By the erection and operation of bay is eliminated is only this bridge, the old fettle across the other ferry from Jamestown to connect with Newport. The beauty of the Jamestown bridge and ferry and the officials always connect the two in referring to it is, that the new bridge and ferry will operate 21 hours in the day and not merely stated hours.

Then, again, changes in the weather will not interfere or hamper. Officials on Sunday estimated that it will take an auto not more than 30 minutes to travel across the bridge to. Saunderstown and then across the ferry directly into Newport, one half hour all told. It is the. expectation that in about two years, the Government will do away with the ferry that now lands in Newport and will build and operate 1L ferry directly across from the new bridge.

This arrangement will mean that autoists can travel on to New Bedford and Fall River and points down the Cape without being obliged to go through Newport. Over Mile in Length The bridge is of cantilever design so that there is no draw and the boats of all descriptions that pass up and down the bay to and from Providence, can easily go under while the ascent or descent for automobiles is not nearly as steep as it looks from the toll house. The bridge of steel with cement foundation is a mile and third long and at times fully 250 men were employed on it. While the exact toll charge has not been decided upon it is expected it will be about 90 cents for a car and a small charge for each passenger, the entire expense 110 more than for the ordinary ferry. Mr.

Bruce estimated Sunday people coming from New York to Newport, for example, would save 75 miles. or nearly two hours of travel. Thus, it will pay financially to make use of this short cut. Presented Gifts Miss Clifford of Westfield, buyer Albert Steiger Co. who is retiring after 31 years' employment by the department store, was honored by executives and buyers of the company at a dinner last night at Hotel Sheraton.
