This is the power plant which the company intended to erect at Thames- ville, according to an announcement made some weeks g, but for seversi important reasons it has been decided to build on the Rogers site instead. One reason is that the plant will ce located much nearer the sound and there will be less trouble getting coal to the'plant by water in the winter. Newspaper ' Announcements Sufficient. During the past week several groc- ers, cited before the Federal Food Ad- ministrator for excess sales of flour and sugar, made the plea that they were “not notified” of the rules. ‘T have seen it in the papers but I have m been officially notified” one dealer Ignorance of the rules i no excuse. ‘When new laws are passed the gov- ernment does not notify every citizen of them and ignorance of them does not exeuse violators.

Local agencies of the council have and | been asked to distribute copies of the its provisions prepared by ore of Ahe staff of the judge ad- vocate general of the army. These .| copies are to be supplied to trial jus- ces and judges of city courts as wall as legal mmhen the draft exemp- tion boards and miembers of the legal profesyion wha'm identified with the war bureaus and town ttees. The council's communication to its loca] agencies savs: “Plans should developed and carried ‘out for a local legal committee to care for the inter- ests of soldiens and sailors and their families affected by the act.” A brief outline of the provisions of the eoldiers and sailors’ relief act as l;gapuul by Major Wigmore Is as fol- ws: The Sailors and Sailors' Civil Re- £ Act, recently passed by congress, aims to protect soldiers and sailors from undue hardship dye te their in- ability to bring or defend law suits and ‘to attend to their business obli- gations of property rights, during their absence in military service. “A goldier or sailor may owe money on a rote, Or he may have bought or leased land or tools or furmiture on which an installment is yet du Or he may have mortgaged his home, @nd be liable to foreclosure for non- payment. Or he may have statred @« homestesd or mining claim and be unable to continue the necessary oe- cupation in the required period of time. Or he may have carried life in- curance for several years and now be natle to keep up the premjum pay- ments. Or he may have'a money claim sgaimnst -some one and during his absence the lapse of time may act and copies of a statement outlin- Major when he returns. Or he may be sued on some-claim in his absence and may be unalile to defend the suit ef- (eciively while absent. “In these and other ways he may suffer undue hardship. The object of the act is to sive relief from such hardship. “The provisions of the act are too numerous to set forth accurately here. Enough to point out that its main prineiple is as follows: “(1)—Let someone, on behalf of the soldier or sailar, notify the court that the party concerned is a soldier or sailor. Then ihe-court will make prompt inquiries into the merits of the case; if the case merits it, the court has power to stay the other party from further proceedings, or to give other remedy that may be appropriate. The court may also appoint an attorney to represent the soldier or sailor in the lawsuit. “(2)—If a lawsuit has been begun already in some court against the sol- dier or eailor, go to that same court and give the notice above mentioned. If no lawsuit has yet been begun, but some landlord or other person is pre- paring to sell out or to take Possession of property in which the soldier ar sallor {s iniecested, g0 to the court in whose jurisdiction the property is, fify tha court as above, and ask the court to summon the other party. All such persons are forbidden by law to take property in that way without first applying to court for an order; but some persons may attempt to take possession without doing so, in ignor- ance of the new law. “(3)—If the soldier or sailor had an insurance policy or fraternal benefit membership, before September 1, 1817, and fears that he may not be able to keep up his payments, he should write to the war risk insurance bureau at Washington, and ask them for a form of application (or ask his post adju- tant at the camp). The government, on certain conditions, will guarantee the payment of the premiums ,0 that the volicy or membership will not be for- feited during the soldier's or sailor's absence; he will then have a year af- ter his return in which to pay up and save his policy or membership. This relief does not apply to all policies or memberships. and details can not be aiven here; but on filling out the ap- plication and sending it to the war risk insurance bureau it will be duly taken care of, it is the king of insur- ance that is protected by this act.” MANY WOMEN WILL WORK ON FARMS. Steps Being Taken to Organize a Wonan's Land Army in 'rhi-lsm.. Many women will be working on the farms of Connecticut this summer be- cause of the active steps being taken to organize a woman's land army in this state. The committee on woman's activities of the Connecticut state council of defense has investigated the possibility of placing the women on the farms to meet the present labor short- age and is now developing the organ- ization plans. The investigation work was assign- ed to a sub-committee, the committee on food production and the organiza- tion work now falls to an executive committee recently formed. Mrs. B, G. H, Schenck -of Wilton is the Connecti- eut representative of the woman's land . |army of America and is serving in tlie capacity of chairman of the newly cre- .| ated executive committee. The other members are Leo A. Kor- per, state director of department of labor; Allen B. Lincoln. assistant di- rector department of labor; David El- der, special field representative of de- partment of labor; Miss M. Estelle loover | Sprague. chairman of food conserva- tion, and Mrs, Joseph ‘W, Alsop, chair- man of food production. The woman’s land army of Confecticut will wokr in complete co-operation and under the direction of the committee on food supply and conservation of the stats couneil of defense, the department of labor and the county farm bureaus. In sounding the farmers to eee . | whether they would use women or not, 500 letters in questionnaire form were sent out by the investigating commit- tee. The answers were approximately as follows: 50 per cent. would use women if necessary, 23 per cent. would not use women, and 25 per cent. did not answer. An educational campaign regarding the woman’s land army w: conducted at meetings of the Connec- ticut Pomological saciety, the Con. necticut Vegetable and Fruit Growe: association and the various dairy as- seciations. The problem of fnancing the movement has not been solved, but certain socie¥es and individuals have promised to help in this direction.
