Reilly at No. 77. It is a colorful, interesting object which has attracted much attention. Here for Eight Years The pole was hand carved and painted by Joe Ranco, a Penobscot Indian who has been a resident of this city for about eight years. Steeped in Indian lore and craft, he has made many such poles and to him every bit of carving and every color has a meaning, for it is the totem pole of his family.
The Indian was wise in many ways, said Ranco. He carved his family history in a large pole and erected it where everyone could see. Primitive man was very proud of his totem, since in those early days it stood for all that family and its traditions stand for today. To a certain extent it helped him live a finer life, 29 his deeds were deeply incised in monumental form, Which was Impossible to change at a moment's notice. If anyone tries to tell you that Indians worshiped totem poles, you can tell him he Is mistaken, said Ranco, for, totemism is not religion; it is identification of a man with his totem, when his totem be an animal, a plant, or somcthing else.
Story of Owl The legend of Ranco's family totem pole is the story of Ice" or the Great lorned Owl and follows as he tells it: "Once long, long ago. when my race was disorganized and merely isolated families, there lived A man, my direct ancestor. who great man indeed. odd man, 100, odd in his hunting habits and great in mind and stature.

Housing Catching Up With Supply Same Is True in Hartford Where Group Will Develop Co-operatively With the demand for good housing in Springfield slowly catching, up Greater with the Hartford supply, families in Springfield considering Rents Going Up Real estate men concede that the supply of housing in this city is growing "tighter" and that rentals are boing "automatically by 10 per cent when new rent contracts are made--without difficulty to the owners. The increasing demand is believed to be the result of new families moving into Springfield from all over New England to accept the growing number of jobs in industrial plants and this movement is believed sure to continue. Another factor is that with present improved business conditions, estahlished residents find themselves with more money and better nrospects and thus are inclined to seek new or better quarters.
Another Factor Westover Field in Chicopee also is expected to be a slight factor in increasing the demand for houses, although many others who will be stationed at the field or work there, will be taken care of by government -built barracks and bungalows right on the field. It was estimated last night that now residential construction in Springfield is fully 20 er than last year. Stimulated by A similar need for new houses in Hartford. a group of nine families there has banded together to develop co-opcratively community of small homes on plots of one acre or more.
