«. _- - - . !

1 , Fact. When swords were carried, it was the cus­

tom to extend the right hand as a friendly gesture

to show that there was no weapon In it. Another

f r l e n , ^ gesture is a long distance telephone ca l l .

It's almost as personal as shaking hands. To see how

liltlo it costs, glance at the low rales,listed on the

inside back cover of .your telephone book. Then

you' l l surely ogres that a long distance telephone

call Is one of the biggest bargains for your money

today.

2 . Fact. During the Revolutionary War, ;Americans

used the word "lobster" as a popular reproach for

a red-cogled British soldier. . . .

ITS A FACT. LOWEST LONG DISTANCE RATES ARE IN EFFECT AFTER G P.M. AND

To avoid chopping any usable par t of Lake Saltonstall, because of Its water supiily and the tact that .a drouglit might majce the curtailed amount of water critical, the sto,te proposes to widen the railroad cut rather than make a nfcw one.

The challenge is to the citizens of the s t a t e ; t ha t thoy road and unde r s t and the p l a n of organiza t ion proposed, ami nctivery sup­p o r t the adopt ion of its ma.Kimum advan tages to Connecticut. Only t h r o u g h such unde r s t and ing and s u p p o r t can the reorganizat ion ef­fo r t be successful.

The principles enunciated by the Commission and which served us i ts guide and goal bear repe­t i t ion and emphasis. These w e r e : r " . 1 . ^Ve believe tha t our govern­

m e n t is not an end in itself by a jnqans. Ours exists, not to perpet­u a t e po.wcr, bu t to assist free men . a n d . women to live their lives peaceably, securely und prosper­ously, in a free .society. : " 2 ; "We believe , that .our .State government ' should bo competent.

The citizens have a r i g h t to" expect t ha t unnecessary outl'nys will be avoided: They have a .right to expect t h a t the S t a t e ' s affairs will be prudentl.v managed , to y ie ld full value for the dollars spent .

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES First Church of Christ Scientist,

Wlnthrop and Derby Avenues, New Haven. Sunday service a t 11 A. M. and 5 P. M. Sunday School Is a t 11 A. M. Wednesday evening testimon­ial meeting a t 8. The Reading Room at 152 Temple Street is open week days from 9 to 8:45 and Wednesday from 9 to 6. " M a t t e r " will be the subject of

the l,esson-Sermon for -Sunday, March-10, 1945. T h e Golden Text Is from Isaldh 40:8.. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our Ood shall s tand for ever."

Selection.? from the Bible In elude t h e following: "But .they tha t w a i t ' u p o n the Lord shall renew their s trength; they' shall mount HP with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not fiiint." (Isa. 40:31)

Correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip­tures," by Mary Baker Eddy, In-cliide the following (p.217): "The scientific and nermanont remedy for fatigue is to learn the power of Mind over t h e body or any •illusion of physical .weariness, and"| so destroy this illusion, .for mat ter cannot be weary and heavy-laden . . . . Mortal mind- does the false talking, and t h a t whlrh affirms weariness, made t h a t weariness."

Clih-oprnctlc lia,s always been a subject of grrnt controversy, and even though it seems to bo nuich more accepted now t h a n ever be-lor many pcupic are still Inclined to "have their doubts nboiit.lt". So tliLs week's question. Is; "IIow <lo y o u feci, about "OJiiropmctIc?" Mrs. IMIchacl Oryl, of Stony Creek, saj-sj - •

"Though 1 have never had experi­ence with tho chiropractic method of t reatment . I am inclined to be­lieve that ' such t rea tment would be beneflclal'fln tase of spinal Injury, and also .that It would help In re­lieving pain di- paralysis In various parts affected oy a spinal distur­bance. I,tl\lnk, too, t ha t those t reat­ments.are.good for nervous disord­ers, becaui? '.fey manipulating and massoglng Important nerve centers, llltey can do a lot towards helping the pat ient to become relaxed, which of co\irse Is vitally Important to a nervous per.soh.

"Hdwovor, I dQU'l th ink they can do mucli for organic .diseases! I be­lieve the chiropractor and tho physician each belong In a class of their own, and each has his place In ,the professional world. But what I ciin't hguro ,OUt is, when It so concerns the heal th of Indivi­duals, t ha t 'mos t physicians will not fecognlze iolilropraotors—It would be so much better If thoy only would cooiieratel" Mrs. Robert Merlz, of Branford Ullls, says;'

"I am :dennltcly In favor of chiropractic. :lf it weren' t tor this method of t rea tment , ' I might stiU be in a wheel-chair, but thanks to chiropractic. I a m now able to get about by the use of a cane. 1 still have a long way to-go, but the remarkable Improvemoiit In niy condition has proven to me thiit chlrofiraotlc has a definite place in present-day healing. There arc many cases this method helps, and even cures, where medicine would fall. • i ,

"1 believe this profession Is no longer to be considered 'quackery' as it is now a licensed profession, and also It is a fact t h a t there is a greater spirit of cooperation be­tween Dhy^lclans and chlrop'ractors, which Is as It should be.

"To anyone who is now studying chiropractic. I say; 'good for you' as I'm sure,It Is the coming thing, and you have chosen a wise pro­fession. And to peoijle who don't believe Jn It, because they know nothing about it, may I quote Hubbard; "Peaple who aren' t up on things, are usually down on thom 1"

'Undecided', says J " I don't khow whether I believe

In chlroprfl:ctlc or not, a,s I have had the opportunity to see it work bothways,.My: father-has had trcati,] ments o h h W b a c k and h a s received great ^satisfaction Irbm them. On the other hand , a friend of mine •visited the - same chiropractor for the same trouble. He walked hito the office all bent over—and he walked out as s t ra ight a s he ever was BUT—the next morning, the poor guy couldn't get out of bed, and he rem'ained there for over two weeks. So you see, that 's why t am rather'tin'oertaln as to wheth­er chiropractic is good oi; bad—do yo'ii blame me?"

Mrs. Daniel Hooerliklrk, of Bran­ford aays; .

" I think chiropractic Is a won-' derful thing, for my whole family has benefitted by there treatments In many ways and for many dif­ferent disturbances. And what I es­pecially like about It, too. Is the speed with which treatments" can correct a disorder. Instead of hav-

"I 'he chiropractor most definite­ly has 'an Important 'p lace In the professional' world, and If ever t-lte physicians and chiropractors could wqik together, instead of ngalhst oBoh oeher, I 'm sure we would find tha t many so-called 'Incurable, or hopeless cases'.of one kind or a n -otlier. would find lliat there Is somothtng tha t can be done for them after all I"

Mr. K. U. mi l , of Ka.st H a v p , says;

" I say chiropractic Is a good thing, and I have every iroason In the world to believe,so, I t ' s Just too bad tha t medical doctors can' t tcel the 'same Avay about it. I gucss maybe some of them do but not enough of them to moke the chiropractic profejislon as recogniz­ed and as acceptor as It should be.

"I hate to think what my wife's condition would bo like today If i t weren't for the chlroprnetor. She had a.bad fall, arid instead of gett­ing better, she kept BettlnB worse. Medical doctors tbtd her there was nothing wrong, all sho needed was 'plenty of rest a n d fresh air.' Still she got no better. Sho finally went to a chiropractor who listened to the case-history had spinal X-rays takeri, arid Iniinedlatoly began treatment; He had found t h a t her whole rierv.pus systjom )iad .been up­set as a result of the: Injuries sus­tained Mn her fall. After throe or four trealmehUs,-she was well on the road to recovery and Is now an pnthely dllVoi'ent por?on.

"Massage and mahlpulatlon of the Bplnar column gives tho pat ient p. loellng of ,normal relaxation, and not the forced .or falso relaxation one gets when they take sedatives and the like. Pure logic will tell ypu t h a t normal relaxation Js far better for the human anatomy t h a n tliat which you get opt of the contents of a urescrlptlon or patent medicine bottle. .

: " I am not .sayipg t h a t the physician should be forgotten, or tha t he- dcesn't have a place In the world-he ii\ost definitely does, but there are times when a doctor can' t do anyth ing for patients, a n d It would help a l o t If when he found ho couldn't do anymore for them, he would suggest chiropractic t reat­ment a t least for a ;talr trail. In­stead of letting the patients go on and on, )iever giving them a chance to ."ioe it something could possibly be' done to help them, 'and not keep trying to tell .them 'there's nothing wrong'.

, , . » , ' —Emily Dickinson Lotus at Sheldon's Cove. Essex, connooticul, is an old

shipbuilding towi located on- the ConnecticulvRiver, Trading schoon­ers and clippers crowded the har­bor In its day;'. •

In this qut^lnt old town lived a Doctor who wfts fond of shooting and an amateur .naturalist.

One day In tire summer ot 1878 he was out: with :hls gun after rail and chanced, to visit one of the

1 protected coves, north of the town, known as Sheldon's Cove. As the doctor moVed through the reeds, he came •upon ,a secluiied back­water that Was covered almost from bank to bank with enormous Illy pads. Among the leaves he saw purpllsh-Vvhito" blossoms that were far bigger and more beautiful than any water Illy of his experience.

Forgetting the" gun and birds, he waded' Into the cove and secured several of the blossoms, stem and p a d s . .•• , .•.,; . . .

Both in size and other charac­teristics it differed from the-com­mon American Water Lilies which grow 111 profusion-along the coast.

At first the Physician was non­plussed. Then .he.. thought ot a friend, a minister and noted botan­ist of the time,'who chanced to be spending the summer near the Connecticut 'Rlveri.-' '

Bearing his specimens lie went to call, upon him. The botanist was keenly Interested' and together they studied his books., .

Descriptions in -'these books tal­lied exactly with the idea that had come to both men when tliey had

, first seen the flowers.- ' The plant was none other than

the famed "Egyptian Lotus Flow­er", giant Illy of the Nile. How did this rare and exquisite (lower sa­cred In Egyptian Mythology for thousands of ysars come to bloom in the Wild marshy waters of Shel­don's Cove? The location made It seem most unlikely that the lilies had been planted there by delib­erate Intent. What pos.slble acci­dent had born the seeds to such a .spot? Several years later the minister was (.alking to a senior

Dear Readier: Were any of you out walking or

riding,'Sunday? Wliat a glorious day! Almost like spring, wasn't it? I took young Tommy out and en­countered many a sight that prov­ed spring Is just around the corner —wliat corner? Well—I haven't gotten to that corner yet, but believe me you, it's there. Why,-1 met Tomiiiy Consola and Stephan McDonald playing cops and rob­bers, shooting at other kids, isn't that signs of spring?—Then Janet Melillo and other girls were out roller-skating. The Murray boys and others were flying home-made kites. Tliere it Is again. Spring­time. Mrs. John Melillo found a be(iutlful hyacinth blossomed in a jar of water from a bulb, whicli she had put ill the cellar last tall. The cars—out of state markers, strang­ers here, driving down to the public dock to look at the water, and the islands, which at this time of year arc In all their splendor. See, , again spring!! Dickie Lowe and my boy Dickie were out tap­ping trees. After we boiled down the sap ifroiii the trees 1 the .syrun was delicious. Also I was presented wltli my first bouquet of pussy­willows. Giant ones too. They give the living -room that "Look 01 Spring"

Many mothers were out walking with their children—Mrs. Leroy Murray with'daughter, Susan, and my daughter, Bobbie-Ann, and Mrs. Oscar olofson and two daughters, Lynn and Edith, were out inhaling the spring air. They visited the quarry and the childrei; were de-llglited. Other mothers were out with their' tiny-tots in carriages and strollers enjoying the lovely weather. Then came Monday nlte and "wot hdppen' Snow!! If any­one of you find that "Corner" where Miss Spring is lurking, please tell her to come out in the open so we can allsee her, will you?

Tonight, Thursday, in St. Therese's Church hall a Smorgasbord is being sponsored by the Rosary Confrater­nity. There will be two sittings, 0 and 7 P.M. Try it, you'll enjoy yourself.

Tlie P.T.A. meets tonight at the school. A panel discussion on Build­ing Better Mental Attitudes will be held. Hostesses will be tho sixth grade mothers with Mrs. .Tames l^ellly and Mrs. Owen Berlo as co-chairmen. They will be assisted by Mrs. Albert Libbey, Mrs. Robert Wells Jr., Mrs. Charles Baker, Mrs. Leroy Murray, Mrs. Kenneth Burne and Mrs. Vincent McDonald'.

Mr. and Mrs. George Blsho'p have become proud garndparents again. Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Bishop ot Tenefly, New Jersey, have announc­ed the birth ot a son, March 21. This is their second child, both boys.

James Allen was surprised Mon­day night when friends dropped in to wish him many happy returns. 'The evening was spent quietly, with everyone enjoying television.

member of a large dye works at Hartford about the old romantic days wlien schooners sailed into the river mouth laden with log­wood and other dye stuffs from all corners of the earth.

The conversation changed to other strange Importations and mention was made ot the time shortly after the Civil War when textile manufactures had fallen off and the Connecticut 'Valley paper mills found it almost Impcsslble to secure cotton and linen rags on which they dependdd.

For years wild bands of Arabs had been plundering the ancient tombs of Egyptian lilngs and Po­tentates all up and down the Nile. From these burial places thous­ands and tliousands of fine linens had been taken along with jewels and loot of untold, value. Here the New England Sea Captains proved their shrewdness. , ,

i Venturing into the sun-scorched harbors along the North African coast they found cargoes of Egyp tian linens "that had been old In the days of Ramesis—which by' custom had been placed in bUnd les in the tombs for use of depart­ed .spirits.

Reaiizlng- that here was trea sure that would find a ready mark et at home, tliey filled their holds and piled their decks with these cloths and robes of forgotten Kings and Queens and sailed away to Ariiorica. , , , ,' , ,.

It was at Essex, chief port of tlie Connecticut Valley that these strong cargoes were unloaded. Out of these bundles fell dust, like old lavendar of today, that was the seed of the.sacred flowers entomb­ed ages ago.

The south breeze carried it gent­ly into the river, and by a whim of chance the seeds of the Lo.,us floated on an eddy of the tide into the broad inner reaches of Sheldon's Cove, and there they grow and blossomed again.

CL &P. issues Annual Report For Year 1949

In Its 1049 Annual Report to Stockholders Issued recently. The Connecticut Light and Power Company reports that due to the business recession! experienced In part Of last year.'i'evcnue from the sale of gas and oleclrlcity to in­dustrial customers declined about 10 per cent but' Was more than made up by greatly Increased sales to iTOusehoud .and commercial customers. Operating revenues in 1049 totaled $39,751,000, an increase ot $1,293,000 oyer 1948. .

An overall decrease of about 3 per ' cent in the , Company's 1040 operating expenses resulted from lower coal and oil costs, and ix-penses for materials, but'all other items of expense-wages, employee benefits, maintenance, depreciation and taxes—rose sharply over 1048, Wages and beuctlts of $7,720,423 for the Company's 2,267 employees showed a 8.4 per cent Increase over the 1948 figure. During 1949 the Company contributed $608,718 to­ward both group life insurance and pensions plans for its workers.

Sti'csslng the iinpact Of taxes, the report roVeals that about $1,800,000 was paid in Connecticut state and municipality taxes dur-InK 1040, whU'e',. approximately $4,300,000 was e>(pended in federal taxes. Although" • the Company's federal taxes ten years ago amount­ed to less than $4.per customer, the present burden .(is approximately throe and one-li'alf .times the 1030 level. It is poihti*?! out that If the various power projects owned by the federal gove'rhtnent were sub-jectcci to tax assessments com­parable,to those, ot The-Conrtcoticut Light and Power Company, the Inr direct tax burden borne by its customers would be 'substantially reduced. '

S3.25 Per Shartj . Dividends to . the Company's

owners, its 10,260'Connecticut and 7,227 out-of-state;, common stock­holders, amounted to $3.25 p0r share for the year, as In 1047 and 1048, and a dlyld,erid ot 75 cents per share has been "declared for tllo first' "uarter of 1950.

Through three separate transac­tions Involving sales of common and preferred stock, ' convertible de­bentures and bonds, tho Company last year raised a total of $33,141,003 of new money to'be used in com­pleting its extensive (joristruction program which has been underway since the removal of building re­strictions In 1046. ,

"With the installation at the Com­pany's Deyon steam power plant of a 60,000 kilowatt turbogenerator-Connecticut's largest and one of the most powerfulin New England —and the completion of other hn-portant projects,'expenditures un­der the Company's expansion pro­gram reached a "postwar peak in 1949. Another 60,000 kilowatt unit is being Installed-this year to re­place a' 25,000 kllowattc turbo­generator- put in operation when the Devon plant first began service In 1924. •'•'. '

Other improvements to property during 1040. inclifded completion or near completion of expanded main transmission line,, facilities; ad­ditions of .capacity to 14 substations and construction of 8 new substa­tions: overhauling of a generating facilities at the Stevenson hy­droelectric development; and siz­able additions to the Company's gas storage •facilities in Merlden, where three 1,000,000 cubic toot high pressure holders were con­structed," and In Waterbury, where a 500,000 cubic foot relief holder was a^detl. Theiie improved storage facilities will bft supplemented early in 1950 by -the addition in Waterbury of a 3,000,000 cubic foot low pressure holder'and two 1,000,-000 cublo-'foot high pressure Hor-

• tonspheres. : ' .; • Construction of- a building to

house the Company's executive and staff offices is expected to get un­derway shortly at a "site on the Wilbur Cross Hlgiiway in Berlin, Connecticut. purc'Sased last Octo­ber. Slated for occupancy in the summer of 1951, the new building win contribute to, . lioth economy and convenience of operation.

First InNallon Connecticut, which for a number

of years has led all other states in' percentage of rural areas elcctrlfi-l ed, in 1949 became tlie first-of the] nation's states to reach substantial; completion of the llne-bulldlng phase of rural electrification. By December 31, 1949, The Connecti­cut Light and Power Company had made electric service available to all but 34 ot th'e 14,618 farms in the two-thirds of rural Connecticut It serves, 'i^

The Windsor Locks Canal Com­

pany, a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inte in 1949 tiled application with rcderal Power Commission for a prcliininary permit to develop hydrodlcctric facilities at Enfield, on tho Connecticut River, Tills would enable Uie Canal Company to con­tinue with its plans tor construct­ing and operating only the power generating facilities . ot a 42,000 kilowatt development recommended recently by the Corps of Engineers, U, s. Army, hi connection wltli the Corps' plans for. navigation im­provement,'! on the Connecticut.

Tho Company expresses Its earnest desire to do IM part In bringing natural gos Into, its terri­tory and pass on to oustpmcvs all real savings effected by its use. The report states, however, that al-throuRh the Company's engineers are making.lntehsive studies to do-lonnlno the most economical and advantageous methods ot utilizing natural gas, the new fuel will not under any circumstances bo avail­able before 1051. Meanwhile, It Is lmpos.slble to determine which ot the pipeline companies will offer the lowest price and best attendant conditions until their Detltlons be­fore the Federal.Power Commission result In • permission to bring natural gas into this area.

THE TRAVELER BY B I L L A H E R N

The guy who wrote the linos,'"Leave mc anything but neuter when the sop begins to stir," was n smart cookie.

' He knew tha t this was the time of year when hibernating animals i-iind humans—begin t o shake olT<the lethargy of winter and move Into 0 period of growth.

;, ( In Branford last week, a neat apjjcarlng gent walked down Iv^aln ' ^istVcet ond sidled close to another old timer. I t was Art Webb, peren-

hl i l Democrat politician of Stony Orecki' and his side-kick, for a few •iioXirs was that former newslfiapfir man , Jolin (Prank) Murray.

In iVio course of a few thousand Words many nuggets of wLsdom Wire'.spread throughout the room and their dttrnc.'it conversation spilled

i'eaVly 1000 hl.stbry to hungry ears. • , Murroy Is n man who has traveled the highways of newspaper ro ­

mance from the days when he won the title as the world's fastest tfcle-griipher In 1000 at the St. Louis World's Pair until n i teen years ago When ho retired from tlic Hartford Courant after a career In a-highly

.competitive fleld. . • , , ,. Experiences are a dime a dozen whenever h e nar ra tes his numerous

•, tales of life. Each has been moa.sured by the slide rule of time and dar-"rles personal authenticity.

Thus tho day becomes much brighter vvheh the two get together and relive another generation.

, But, If tho lively experiences of the ex-newsman strikes the fancy, 'cdnsiaei' Mr. Webb.

Born and bred In Stony Creek, the man has always loved the Out-'dOors lite. A carpenter by trade, he always put the hamiiler on the shelf 'when hunting .son.son come aroiind and ,h lbu to the woods to nil ' the ifiimlly larder with the gamiest sort of food. _•

'.COLD, GRAY HOURS He hos sat with the.'Patlence of Job walling In a blind for ducks to

Ifly south. He has spotted the runs of deer and oamped In the cold, gray hours of pre-dawn for the one shot which monnt venison for the table.

So also he Is steeped In the tradit ion o r flshlng, both on salted waters and In the crystal clearness of a mounta in lake or s t ream. He has dipped a, worm to tempt the biggest t rout In the area and has f l l t tqda fly expertly through the air to entice the granddaddy bt the lusolbus species of the'piscatorial family.

His'boots have been topped In the quicksands of Sound silt as h e scooped deep for llie bivalve, called clam. Nature 's j e t propelled scallops have boen> neatly netted by a-Scoop directed by his gnarled knuckles.

Even tdcTay most of his brightest tales ceijter about the- old fash­ioned bee hunts which he and his Stony Creek coihpahlon, Charlie Howd, used to engage In whenever the opportunity .struck them.

There wos a knack to I t . . . and many stings. • First they Would gather scvera lhoney bees In n small m a t c h box

and after allowing Ihcm to fill themselves with hbnejy they would permit them to escape singly. Judging the direction of ther flight and the t ime It took the Insect to re turn to the honfey fllled box , ' t he .pa i r could a c ­curately tell how far Sway the wild honey caclie was distanced. 'By degrees the chase narrowed until finally a hollow log, an old tree, a n un ­used building revealed the hiding place.

Smoke did the rest iirid ivhcn' the bees were s t u n n c d t h e tree was chopped down and pounds of sweet honey were gathered for future 'eon-sumption when a hard wood Are tastily toasted, mouth-water ing p a n -

,cakes while providing old fashioned warmth to an 'ear ly , styled kitchen, i '-.„' ' 'Shortly a f t e r .he was;:morrldd' to,Ellzt ibeth Dougherty, sister of

Pete-Dougherty, the old-time baseball star, tiie sap s t i r red . in the veins of the Stony Creek resident. I t answered no t to the summons of n a t u r e but rother to the call or necessity and like others of t h e t imes of 1907 h e headed west to Qoldflolds, Nevada, t h a t fabulous min ing , a r e a which

"started the- immatchcd career of iTex Richard, t h e ' m a t c h m a k e r who made the one and only Jock Dempsey.

In Branford the payrate wps $1.25 a d a y and In t h e boom town, carpenters were making $8 for eight hours . '.

With him on his trip was Charley Anderson of New H a v p , a recog­nized building contractor of tlie c i ty of Elms. Together tlfey went to work on a Catholic .Church as their first'bit of labor and In' due coUrse they witnessed. In huge chunks, this drama. cdlled'Ufe. ' But, even as today, t h e huriter had a Sense of humor ; •yirhen he wos asked to become deputy sheriff of Ooldfleld, he refuscd. '^i t wasri't.be-: cause red blood dldii't flow through my veins," he later.^explalried,"But because I didn't want It to wash the streets."

In his humorous way, 'Wcdd-lndlcated tha t he d'ldri't want a Job where there was such a quick turnover of help. : :

But the great San Pronclsco earthquake lii t he same y«ar found h im vaqallnp the mine area to ossist ' ln rebuilding the great 'Paclf lc Coast city. Ills verbal descrlptlpiis of ' the' .destruction w;ifeake'd tAere are vivid Iluihtaabltii to the nim, "Son Fr'anclscQ." : ,> 1

Eventually he found himself headed east. Again h o picked up the threads of his homey life and, cbrit tat; settled ^jocl^to-jhls t rade .

Stonlngton High School, lor marfy years a bridesmaid biit never before a bride, in the Class B circles of the Connecticut Interscholasllc Athletic Conference basketball play, finally tripped up t h e aisles to the Championship in t h e 28th annual schoolboy tournament a t Payne Whitney Gym last Tuesday before 1800, eJtclted faris but nearly stumbled over ano the r brilliant combine. Darlen High, which must now wait a t least ano the r year be­fore trying to gain t h e court honor.

11 was Q trio of shai-pshootlng aces which paced Coach Morris Pabl-cont's quintet to the 48-46 victory, a win Which was preserved by the final gUn m the midst of a stirring Blue Wave rall.V. Phil Jones, ra ted the all-tourney standout , was Just tha t in limes of need for again It wos his hoop which created the In­surance score, the s traw which broke the backs of the desperately trying Mahermen.

V Jones a S tandout Jones received Invaluable aid

from his teamm.otes particularly the able Al t Rothbun and Bobby Ollmore. Standout lor the western Conhoctltut lads was the clever Mike Duffy and blB Don Belcher, who, though off his ewne, never­theless paced his ma tes in the scoring column. '

I t was a strange gome for s t o n ­lngton flashed Its strongest a t ­tack of t h e tourney in getting off to a powerful .qtart and though Darlen controlled t h e play fo r , t he next three stanzas, only once could they tie t h e game. T h a t was early In tho final quarter when Duffy knotted the count 37 all with an accurate pi tch from the fifteen foot mark. A subsequent Bear rally accounted for 9 s t ra igh t points in the next two minutes but Darlen flashed to life again jus t before the automatic intermission. Immedia te­ly thereafter, Jones took a long poss to Insure the victory olthough It was on a play which Coach Johnny Maher is still disputing. 'I'no contriverlal ploy all s t a r ted from a Jump ball on t h e Stonlng­ton foul line. When the ball was tapped, t h e jumper grabbed the ball. Maher say, before It touched' the floor. Under the rules such a happening calls for the^opponents to take the bal l ' ou t of boundis. Tlius i t would have been Darlen 's ball with a strong chance t h a t their rally might have succeeded.

But an official's mistake, if such was t h e c a s e , cannot t ake away the thoroughness of the Stonlngton a t ­tack and i t s ability to overcome o b ­stacles in a champonsh ip .manne r . They are deserving of t h e praise be ­ing heaped upon t h e m from all quarters. {,

Feted in BraiiTord The fete stai'ted oh Thursday

night a t the Howard Johnson res taurant in Branford where two hundred fans dined t h e ' winners after their tr iumph. . O n Friday, school s ta r ted a t 10 A. M. and con­vened mostly to celebrate the Ston­lngton t r iumph. Its first lu several years df trying.

The Bears got aVay ' to a fast s t a r t when Art Ra thbun difnked a polr of early baskets, on an under­neath try a n d a liook shot, to make the score 4' 0 and Gl lmore, came through wi th a long set to it a n a d ­dit ional two. Belcher then hooked a ni t ty to open the Darlen scoring and Duffy's foul conversion made it 0-3-at t h e end of two and one half minutes . Anotlier six point rally featuring two hOops by Jones and ano the r by Gilhiore lifted the total to 12-3 and w h e n Duffy hi t on a long try, the B e a r forwards collaborated on a polr of side court field goals to make It '16-5. Harold Curtis Sank a long t ry for Darlen but Ra thbun matched i t with a r e ­bound s h o t . - l n the f ina l minute Duffy aga in connected with a disr tance effort to make i t 18 to 9 a t t h e quarter .

, Darlen Rallies Billy Cushmon took the sting

out of t h a t score af ter the second stanza s ta r ted by hooping a one hander following with a successful charity toss • when Bruce Morgan fouled. Ra thbun was likewise good from the penal ty l ine but Curtis kept the Dorlen s t reak rolling by hitting o a a rebound. Gllmore measured a one hand floor goal but Anderson came back with a n equalizer. Rathbun bounded In for a good one h a n d try bu t Anderson's good conversion and a one hande r by Cushmon made the score 23 to 19 with two minutes of the period remaining. Rathbun h i t on another side shot a n d Anderson matched it with a rebound.--He added another on a foul t ry b u t , Ra thbun ' s set from outside with seconds remain­ing made It Stonlngton 27, Darlen 22 lit the half.

The Bears opened the second half, in a manner reminiscent of their first period a t tack when Rathbun -netted a .pretty under ­hand try and .Morgan zipped through the 'Darlen' defenses to score on. 0 pretty dribble shot. Big Don Belcher personally ' s topped the drive with a pair Of hoops, one from ;Underneath and the other a one liahder from the fifteen foot mark. GUmore's 'underneath basket made the count 33 t o 26 and Taggart added a single marker on o one for two conversion. There ­after Darlen rallied with Anderson lassoing a field goal a n d a foul try and Curtis hooping a long effort. With the score 34 to 31, Jones h i t from the side co.urt but Bob Belcher, subbing for h i s brother, countered with a hook shot.

Sports Dinner A Possibility

For Athletes - Booster Club President, Francis Walsh Is presently rounalng up a worRing group to Investigate the possibility of.staging a sports ban­quet for the High . School teams, i^ast year there was no effort made by outside .Interests to fete the various athletic squads, and the same situation seems to prevail this year. The High School Athletic Association is not In strong financi­al shape to withstand an expend­iture of the magni tude required to banquet the number of boys who had played on t h e several sports teams In the school. With at least two months in which to complete ar rangements for an affair, tho Booster Club c a n , ' w i t h the help of the townspeople, pu t over a n in­teresting program foe the athletes. As developments progress informa­tion will be publicized.

In a recent meeting between the Board Of Education and members of the Booster Club further plans for future sessions of the two groups were made. Considering the Wellare of the younger element ot the town, the Joint me(3tlng will go a long way towards brightening the present athletic picture here ­abouts. To date most of the action has been confined to the talking stage, but there. Ls definite hope of seeing some sort of supervised schedules for recreation lor the youngsters.

Expensive Banquet Two years ago the Booster Club

feted the High School sports teams and wound up wi th a deficit of nearly one hundred dollars. Being on infant organization, this about wrecked the club's treasury, but the success' ot the affair compen­sated for the financial set-oack. However, last year • there was ab­solutely no chance for the organi­zation to make even a feeble el lor t to reward the ' boys' athletic a t ­tempts due to various reasons. Realizing tha t the re is the possl-hillty of a, repetition of last year's lack of response, the Booster Club win set the stage for a renewal of Interest in a banquet. No doubt this bit ,of news win brighten the eyes of you High School gladiators.

Baseball is • the topic for con­sideration, with the spotlight focused on the pee wee league .spon­sored by the Boosters for the past two summers. This season promises to see a much larger league, as more and more • youngsters have taken on Interest.

I n the past, only two divisions, under 14 and under 12, were ac­commodated, but th is age-grouping will, undergo a change, with the possibility of the older division ad­vanced to Include 10 years and un der. This is not definite, but up tor first line-consideration.

Twice Champions • T h e Pee Wees..champions in the 14 and under- group, took high honors two seasons arunnlng, and are hopeful of part icipating again this-year. As it Is the design of the Booster Club to assist in the de­velopment of young baseball talent, all efforts will be made to take care of air:bo,ys who wish to play In the league. I n ' t h e event t ha t an older age group Is designated, teams in the Pee Wee class can once more t ake the field in competition. Ac­cordingly, each team, as its age limit Is reached, will move up into the next division. ..Another point of interest is tho

formation of the Litlle Baseoall League in New Haven. In which local representation Is hoped for. President Walsh, of the Booster Club, will contact the officials of the league in view of entering a team representative of the Booster League.

A membership drive by the Booster Club will soon be insti tuted in an effort to add to the list of present members. How about all you men who orofess to support sports? Now is the time to clear the decks for action by becoming a Booster. Send name and address to the secretary. 328 Main Street r ight now. An application will be sent to you immediately. Help make men ot tomorrow by taking care ot the kids of today.

SPORTS IISJ REVIEW by BUI Ahem

The king Is dead! Long live the King!

Foi- the most par t Now England basketball Is already a th ing or the past. Only In Boston, this weekend, will the dying embers be fanned to a sudden bur.st ot heat and then, following a mythical declaration of New England champs, only ashes will remain.

But In aches there are dreams and ever jubi lant and optimistic youth will be turning to baseball and a new season.

Because of tho American Legion, the sport is gc:ng to be much faster in this area than ever before.

In Branford and East Haven, there are cnougii youngsters, who liaye bepn tested in a single summer of the Legion backed sport to warratit enthusiastic outbursts from the s tudent bodies. Less voluble, but noneNthe less sound, hopes for a successful year. Is reflected In the cOnftdent grins of,high school coaches.

Ove'rfthe hill to baseball diamonds In other CoiuTecticul towns, hope'\is likewise ever present.

The hope is sparked by the knowledge tha t very few green can­didates will report for their respective teams, youngsters who might have been scared are now sure ot their ability. \

, From nOwiUnlll the end ot the Legion season next August.ifans will s ee ' smar t playing, good pitching and s t rong hitt ing. By all signs, the weird, one-sided contests should bo thlng.s of the past .

Towns, who are not represented by youthful baseball teams, will have to get on the bandwagon, for as an eminent public official in Bridgeport once said, "No boy, was ever caught' stealing with a fielder's glove in his pocket."

A fund-ratslng drive has Ijoon Inaugurated In Stony Creek to faster the further devolopniout of property secured Irom the Dodd Grnnitp Corporation by the Stony Creek Athletic Association.

This property was purchnsed by the Athletic Association tor the express purpose of providing the youtli of Stony Creek with a suit­able athletic field.

Such a facility., has never been previously available to the residents If Stony Creek and its need in any progressive comiiUinity Is recogniz­ed to be of paramount importance in the present day.

Excepting this particular project, there is no Indication tha t any de­velopment following this pattern will materialize locally within the next ten years.

I n tho past a consideration' of this nature has either been Ignored or opposed on the grounds that it was ImpraotlCttl. due to the luck of availability of usable pi-opei'ty, lack of funds and promotional mediums, or insufficient rccognltloiT of com­munity need and responsibility.

IModcst Finanolng The Stony Creek Association, the

local governing body, acoordlilg to the rights vested In them by tho General Assembly In Hartford, damiot acquire or own any real propei'ty. However this Association realizes the necessity and ndvant-nge of supporting such a proposal as the above and nt i ts last annual meeting, July, appointed tho Stony Creek Athletic Assoclatloii as Us representative In this matter . In additloni tho Association approved a modest financial,al)propiiallon to permit preliminary devclopmenlii of the overall plan.

The Stony Creek Association Is limited in the extent of further contribution of a flnanelal nature and has agreed with the officers of the Athletic Association tha t com­pletion of this project will only be obtained through tho public solici­tation of funds. ; Silo Purcliascd To date the cooperation bolweon

the town body and the Athletic As­sociation has resulted in the actual purchase of the site for the proposed fleld and Initial advance­ment" Ih the cleaflng and filling of the land. ' For' t h e past .several years the

Athletic Association, against con­siderable odds, has at tempted to combat juvenile doUnquenoy and further ' the democratic progress and development of the youth of S tony ' Creek by sponsoring and fostering athletic activities. I l iey have been successful to tho extent t h a i ' the comhiimlty Is represent-, cd by organized teams In basket

ball and ba.'ioball. Unfortunately however, duo to the lack of such a field as l.s proiiently being discussed, 11 has not been pos.slble for the local teams to engage in competi­tion in Stony Creek Itself.

The athletic field is located on Leetes Lsland Road and lies directly iputj opposite the ontrnuco to tho Dodd L n d drai i i tc Quarries.

CoiitraDtors Cotiti'Ibutc The physical development of the

field to da le has been primarily carried oijt by the laboring efforts of members of the Athletic Associa­tion and t h e voluntary ftsslstonce of prominent Branford contractors, These conttiictors contributed pro­fusely of fill, labor, equipment, and onglneoi'lng supei'vision a t no ohargo to tlie Athletic Association. Princlpol among this group was' the Now Haven Trap Rock Corporation, Giordano & Sparico Con.struotlon Company, Louis C. Atwater Con­struction Company, Dan Cosgrovo Construction Company, Marone Truckers Inc., and Cook's Hilltop Orchard. Many other Individuals fi'om Branford and Stony Creek contributed labor and equiiimcnt

. to fui'ther the ttdvahcdmcht of th is Avorth*hlIc prdJBfil.

Discusslgns between the Sttiny Creek AssoCiUllon and the 'St«ny Creek Athletic Association have te-.•suited In the determination t h a t the proposed field shall be foi: tho public use Of the residents of Stotiy Creek and the operation and a d ­ministration of such will be tho Joint responsibility of these two representative groups.

Any funds realized from t h o future use of this field will bo solely spent 111 the development of the field Itself and these funds a s well as all monies acctimulttted du r ­ing this drive will be • subject to public scrutiny and accounting

Will only be expended with I public anprovnl.

WRITER DEPLORES HOUSING CONDITIONS OF NEGROES HERE

(An open letter to the readers of the Review) •

Dy Ruth Evis

There's a. niosaec Ihnt I want to get across to you, moic Ihnn I have wanted to do anything, and , I'm. afraid that Just when i need the right words at this most Importunt time, I'm not going to bo able to be exprosslyo enough! I Just pray like many others are praying at this very: moment, that somehow

'through God's Qracc, He'll touch your hearts and minds, and you'll "see'with true slghtl" rirsl let me assure -yo'u, that I realize full well, that most of you wouldn't deliberately Ignore a

shameful situation, Perhaps It's Just Ihnt In going about your own personal affairs, (as you have to do) you Just haven't had time to "cross linos" and penetrate Into the deep crying need of our own commun­ity,—but,—will you let mc "toll you'' a little about some heartaches, frustrations, and normol, simple long­ings of a group of our Branford people? . ' , , * i

I recently telephqhod_Rov. Atkins 'to find out how the Petty family (recently burned out) were getting

.along, You sec, I'd hoped to start a dxlvo for furniture • for them,

• (donating a stove and rofrlgornlor myself), because while the towns­people have been most kind and generous In donating food, clothes, and some money,' the Potty's have

'no furniture. Rev Atkins told mc they wore temporarily living In with another family in Now Haven, but hoplnpc to come back to Branfoi'd. Tlioy lovo Branford, Their friends are hero, this Is their Jiome town I Tlie • children were born here and

. their parents were born here. Rev, , Atkins told me what really good ' people they are I Church people,

and what a great help the eldest girl was to the church. Desirable people! Rev. Atkins said that he needed them back, and everyone wanted them back, and they want to come back!

Itopo Fadlnff Fast I was asked to telephone tiie

owner of tho property and ask If Ihev were going to rebuild, so that the Pettys could return here In the future. After the first phone, con­versation, I was told to call back-In a week's lime for a definite ansv/er, which I dltl, and It was NO!!! It's going to be torn'down completely!

• I told Hev. Atkins this, and during the heartbreaking conversation

' which followed. Rev. Atkins said .that he's been trying for five years to get decent living quarters for his people, but that he was losing them through lack of adequate housing (they were being forced to move awny). He said that his own hope was fast leaving him, that his people's hope had already gone, and that it looked like he was go­ing to lose his churishl He'd been to everyone there was to go to about the conditions, and while nt times It looked ns though something whs finally going to bo done, it always ended up in nothing!

I'm glad to state, however, that for one desperate woman (with

.seven cJilldren) there Is "In the works," through, the efforts of Judge Drlscoll, and the .coopera­tion of Mr. na.iimer, a plan for tho housing of this one case. The re­sults of thlb' effort won't be de­finitely knowii for some time yet.

Personal Visitations At any rate, I nsked Rev. Atkins

If I might go among his people, In­to their liomes, to see and talk, and I did Just that! consequently, I'm .so filled with mixed emotions, that I can hardly bcar.lt!' I went Into house after houSe, I talked with persons of all ages, and I'm not through making tho rounds! I'm going ognln before lhl.s week is over! From family after fftmlly, I hoard the same story of helplos.s despair, of futility; and .growing bitterness! Didn't other: people realize how they were living? Didn't they cai'o? In this lovely town of Branford, peiplo were really good and kind, Tlioy'd shown that when the Potty's house burned down.

They'd "c6mo together" and help­ed and that was fine! But that firo shouldn't • have been in the first place, and there may be other fires I In thje condition that somb of those houses a re ' In, anything can happen! For years other people had gone by these "certain sections," maybe Just without thinking about it at all. maybe' subconsciously crossingi the street, or ..perhaps : a little fearful, trying^, not to look even I For year.s this ^vent on, but didn't anyone wonder about what was going on Inside, how the people felt about all these things? How they wore getting along How they were Just existing under such-cir­cumstances? Do you know (and ploase believe me, that I toll you this in complete • humility), that they told me that I was the first white person who "cared enough" to voluntarily enter their homes; nnd talk with them, about condi­tions! I was completely shocked!

. They're Happy-go-Luoky The other day, I heard the ex­

pression, "Oh. they're happy-go-lucky people. Tlioy adjust them­selves to any situation!" This was from someone outside of that .section. Perhaps I shouldn't even mention that here, and I won't mention who .said it, bccau.So haven't wo all been more or loss guilty of that same typo of thinking, on oc­casions? But it's wrong! These arc people such as you and I, with minds ahd hearts and souls as ours. And as God's the Father of us all, we're all His children, and It doesn't matter what color the surface is. It's the "within" that counts, and In that we're all allkel The same hopes, desires, ambitions, needs and hungers! we talk, write, and sing about "Brotherhood". Lot us truly live It! They knew I was going to wrlto this, and they told mo, "Tell them we're not 'Happy-go-lucky,' not any more than anyone else. We try to make the best of a bad situa­tion, because what else can we do? Can wo go out In the streets and yell. Brothers, help us come in talk to us, see for yourselves what we're up againsti" ^

Kee]) Faucets Rimnlng I myself say that lilthough sorne

houses are more or less livable, there are at the Very least 10 families de­sperately .needing housing. There is inadequate heating, rotten wood, shingles thtit are rotidy to burst aflame, broken bannisters, danger­ous stairs; broken plaster, dampness, mildew, rats, and darkness In the rooms because the houses are too clQso together! They've been told to keep their water faucets running in the cold weather, BO that the pipes wouldn't freeze, rather than having a plumber sent to them! There havens been repairs, or oven paint Jobs done in years 1 Tlicy're fire, traps and healtli liazarda! Drainage backs up into the sinks, and I saw two or three whole families living together where one should be! I saw sick women lying In bed under these conditions! I saw high-school youngsters trying

hard not to look ashamed for my seeing something they couldn't help!

And I saved this for the last—six whole families having to use out­side toilets!!! OuLslde toilets. In these modern, progressive times! In a town! Not back in ,,the woods someplace! Can you Imagine elderly people, little children, sick people having to "go out" In all kinds of weather? In hot weather the stencti nnd green flics emitting fr6m these horrible outhouses, make It unbear­able for the people «to;even sit in peace on their ricke£y|porehes! It's ft wonder they aren't all diseased!

Don't Mix In Politics What you wouldn't put up with

for yourself and your, family, why do you let these things happen to these "brothers" of ours? Help for across tho sea? Yes, I believe in that but charily begins at home!

Another thing! Rev. Atkins was warned, very recently, not to let himself get too mixed up in politics about this. Can you Imagine that! Is anyone .so low that he can think In terms of politics when there is this need for Just acting human?

Rev. Atkins replied to the above that ho was going to do what was best for his people, that he had no strings attached to him and his people's needs came first! Tliank God for men like that!

Rev. and Mr.s. Atkins have worked hard for their little parish and church. Tliey'vo repaired and painted, and haVe actually convert­ed a large Basement- cdal bin into a church kitchen! And let me toll you something else^ while we're at itI.Tliese "homos" that I vLsited were kept neat and clean. In spite of all the drawbacks and dis­advantage! ' ! • ,

Facts Will be'Published By this write up|I don't mean to

impl.v that, it's only Rev. Atkias people who heed housing. I certain­ly do realize that others do, too. these are cases that I actually know about. fU'sthand! I sincerely believe that this particular need Is an emergency, and very urgent! One more thing, I can't really believe such a thing will happen, but If I ever hoar of Rov.'Atkins or any of his people being bothered in any way because of what was "said to me.by, them, or what they allowed me to see regarding their mlsei-able plight, they'll tell me, and it will be written up In every paper possible, giving names- and factsi And If 1 can't accomplish that, I'll person­ally jpubllsh and distribute hand bills Istaling the case.

For the very practical minded, have you stopped to think what a financial loss It is to the town when folks working in local shops have to live In New Haven, and so spend their income there?

What is needed Is a piece of land for the Federal Housing authorities to use, on which to erect on very simple lines, an eight or ten family

WRITER DEPLORES HOUSING CONDITIONS OF NEGROES HERE

(An open letter to the readers of the Review) ' •

By Ruth Evis

There's a mesage tha t I want to got across to you, more than 1 have wanted to do anything, and I'm afraid t ha t Just when I need the right words a t this most Important time, I 'm not going to be able to be expressive enough I I Just pray like many others are praying a t this very* moment., t h a t somehow

' through a o d ' s Grace, He'll touch your hearts and minds, and you'll ".sec'with t rue slghtl" First let me assure -you, t h a t I realize full well, t h a t most of you wouldn't dcllboratoly Ignore a

shameful situation. Perhaps It's Just that In going about your own personal affairs, (as you have to do) you jus t haven' t had time to "cross lines" a n d penet ra te Into the deep crying need of our own commun­ity,—but,—will you lot mo "tell you" a llttli! about some heartaches, frustnUlons, and normal, slmi)Ic long­ings of a group of our Brantord people?

I recently telephoned Rev. Atkins •to find out how the Petty family

(recently burned out) were getting , along. You see, I'd hoped to s ta r t a drive for furniture • for them,

• (donating a stove and refrigerator myself), because while the towns­people have been most kind and generous In donating food, clothes, and some money, the Petty's have

' no furniture. Rev Atkins told me they were temporarily living In with another family In Now Hayen, but hoping to come back to Branford. They love Branford, Theh- friends arc hero, this is their Jlomo town! Tlic children were born here and their parents wore born hero. Rev.

, Atkins told mo wha t really good ; people they arc! Church people,

and what a great help the eldest girl was to the church, Desirable people! Rev. Atkins said t h a t he needed them back, and evei'yone wanted them back, and they want to come back!

Hope Fading Fast • I wa.s asked to telephone the

owner of the property and ask if • thev wore going to rebuild, so tha t

. the Pettys could return here In the ' future. After the first phone, con-

vcr.satlon, I was told to call back- In a week's time for a definite answer, which I did, and it was NO! 11 It 's going to be torn down completely! I told Rev. Atkins this, and during the heartbreaking conversation which followed. Rev. Atkins said tha t he 's been trying for five year.s

' to get decent living quarters for his people, but tha t he wos losing them through lack of adequate housing (they were being forced to move away). Ho said that his own hopo was fast leaving him, tha t his people's hope had already gone, and t h a t It looked like he was go­ing to lose his church! 'He'd been to everyone there was to go 16 about the conditions, a n d while a t times II looked as though something was finally going to be done. It always ended up In nothing!

I 'm glad to state , however, t ha t for ono desperate woman (with

seven diUdron) there Is "In the works," through, the efforts of Judge Drlscoll, and the coopera­tion of Mr. Hammer, a plan for the housing of this ono case. The re­sults of thlb' effort won't be de­finitely known for some time yet.

Personal Vlstlallons At any rate, I asked Rev. Atklna

It I might go among his people, Ih-•to their homes, to see and talk, and I did Just that! Con.Hequently, I'm so filled with mixed emotions, thiit I can hardly bear I t l I wCnt Into house after house, I talked with persons of all ages, and I'm not through making the rounllsl I'm going again before this week Is over! From family after family, I heard the same story of helplessi despair, of futility, and .growing bitterness! Didn't o ther i people realize how they were living? Didn't they cafe? In this lovely town of Branford, people were really good and kind, Tliey'd shown tha t when the Petty's house burned down.

They'd "c6me together" and help ed and tha t was fine! But t h a t fire shouldn't • have been In the first place, and there may be other fires! In tl\e condition t h a t some of tlioso houses are In, anything can happen I For years other people had gone by these "certain sections," maybe just without thinking about It a t all. maybe subconsciously crossUiK, the street, or perhaps n little tearful, t ry ing , no t to look oven! For years this went on, but didn't anyone wonder about wha t was going on Inside, how the people felt about all these things? How they wore getting along How they Were jus t existing under such clr-cumstanoos? Do you know (and please believe me, t ha t I toll you this In complete ' humility), tha t they told mo tha t I was the first \vhlte person who " e a r e d enough" to voluntarily enter their homes, and talk with them, about condi­tions! I was completely shocked!

They're llappy-BO-IiUcky

presslon, "Oh. they're happy-go-lucky people, n i c y adjust them-selvcH to any situation!" This was ironx someone outside of that section. Perhaps I shouldn' t even mention that here, and I won't mention who said It, because haven't we all been more or less guilty of , that same type of thinking, on oc­casions? But It's wrong! These are people such as you and I, with minds and hearts and souls as ours. And as God's the Father ot us all, we're all His children, and It doesn't mat ter what color the surface Is. It 's the "within" that counts, and In t h a t we're all alike! Tlie same hopes, desires, ambitions, needs and hungers! we talk, write, and sing about "Brotherhood". Let us truly live It! They knew I was going to write this, and they told me, "Tell them we're not 'Happy-go-lucky,' not any more than anyone else. We try to make the best of a bad si tua­tion, because what el.so can we do? Can we go out In the streets and yell. Brothers, help us come In, talk to us, see for yourselves what we're u p agaln.sti"

Keep Faucets Running I my.sclt say tha t al though some

houses are more or less livable, there are a t the very least 10 families de­sperately needing housing. There Is Inadequate heating, ro t ten wood, shingles tha t are ready to burst aflame, broken bannisters, danger­ous stairs, broken plaster, dampness, mildew, rats, and darkness In the rooms because the houses are too close together! They've boon told to keep tlieir water faucets running In the cold weather, so t h a t the pipes wouldn't freeze, r a the r than having a plumber sent to them! There haven't been repairs, or even paint Jobs done In years! Tlioy're f ire , traps and hea l th hazards! Drainage backs ui) Into the sinks, and I saw two or three whole families living together where one shovUd bo I I saw sick women lying In bed under these conditions! I

hard not to look ashamed for my I seeing something they couldn't help! I

And I saved this for the l a s t ^ s lx whole families having to use out­side toilets!I! Outside toilets. In these modern, progressive tUnest In a town! Not back m . the woods someplace! Can you Imagine elderly people, little children, sick people, having to "go out" In all kinds of weather? In hot weather the stcncii and gieon files emitt ing from these horrible outhouses, niakc it unbear­able for the people U(J: even sit in peace on theh: rlckety|porches! It 's a wonder they aren ' t all diseased!

Don't Mix in PollUcs What you wouldn't pu t up with

for yourself and your, family, why do you let these things happen to these "brother.?" of ours? Help tor across the .sea? Yes, I believe In tha t but chari ty begins a t home!

Another thing! Rev, Atkins was warned, vci-y recently, not to let himself gel too mixed up In politics about this. Can you Imagine tha t ! Is anyone ,so low that he can think In terms of politics when there Is this need for Just acting human?

Rev. Atkins replied to the above tha t he was going to do wha t was best for his people, tha t he had no strings at tached to him and his people's needs came first! Tliank God for men like that!

Rev, and Mrs. Atkins have worked hard for their little parish and church. They've repaired and painted, and have actually convert­ed a large Basement coal bin into a church kitchen I And let me tell you something else" while we're a t 111, Those "homes" tha t I vLsited were kept nea t and clean, in spite ot all the drawbacks and dis­advantage!

Facts Will be PubUshcd By this write up-1 don't mean to

imply t h a t . i t 's only Rev. Atkln.s people who need housing. I cer ta in­ly do realize t h a t others do, too. these are cases tha t I actually know about, I b s t h a n d ! I sincerely believe tha t this part icular need is an emergency, and very urgent! One more thing, 1 can ' t really believe such a thing will happen, bu t if I ever hear of Rev. Atkins or any of his people being bothered In any way beoauso of what was "said to me by them, or what they allowed me to see regarding their miserable plight, they'll toll me, and It will be writ ten up in every paper possible, giving names- and facts! And if I can' t accomplish ,that, I'll person­ally jpubllph and distribute h a n d -

BOOSTERS CLUB WILL ORGANIZE SPORTS DINNER FOR ATHLETES OF EAST HA VEN HIGH SCHOOL Only an earthquake will deny the

boys of East Haven High who play­ed the various sports, the banquet t h a t they have been hoping for each year. At least tha t is the way things shape up a t the present t ime, ' with ono exceptionally in­terested follower of the local High School sports teams and father of one ot the athletes as spearhead ot a move to round up sufficient workers to prepare for the affair. Tyler Street Ray Smith ( the desig­na t ion is to, point out the ono of several liay Smiths) is the m-divlduai'Who has-been leading tho drive to stir, up tha t dormant spirit t o stage -the necessary banquet, and he has shown no weakening In his efforts to stimulate whatever Interest t h a t is needed for the as-surance'o'f a successful sports af­fair. To him must go tlie cheers lor carrying on a one man cam­paign to get this banquet Into the active, ins tead-of talking, stage. At any rate, enough backing is as­sured the group now concerned With question,of financing the pro­posed, banquet- and. a s h a s been aforcrnehtioned, only an earth­quake can stop it from materializ­ing. . .: • - O n e glaring fact s tands out,

though, in past bxperiences with t h e support of a sports banquet, •namely, not very many fathers or brothers Of the High Shool athletes at tended these functions. How in the world can affairs of this kind be an annua l success if the rela­tives of the boys do not support it? There must be some interest manl^ tested by those close to the boys, a t least. Regardless, It is hearten­ing to know that others outside are interested enough, to take an active p a r t in such an.occasion. '

More coh'crete plans will be made in the very near future on con­solidating the efforts ot the group led by the hard-working Mr. Smith and members of the Booster Club, who are sincerely lntere.stcd in the reality of a sports affair. The first of the group meetings will take place on Sunday Morning a t 11 A. M.. sharp, a t 328 Main Street. Mr. Smith, who has been appointed cha i rman of the committee, will outline preliminary plans and dfscuss the eventual course to be taken. ;

Foxon, Highland and Laurel Schools will be adequate to take care of tho needs for tho next four years and probably beyond that point. Overcrowding In Laurol School could bo remedied,by t rans-forring of North High Street pupils to Foxon School.

Plan Thirteen Calling the plan, "Plan 13," be­

cause of the thlrtoOh stages of con­sideration which have been involv­ed. Hill said that tho expressway win extend to thij south on tho Nfcw Haven side of the town line. Ho said that the road will run along ho dual highway cast(Jrly and cross tho railroad north of Pine Street. On tho north side of tho tracks it will cross over Bradley Laurel und North High Streets. , , , •

There Is .sufflceht a m o u n t ' o f ' right-of-way between tho Klmberly Avenue extension and the town line to build roads \ylthoul disturbing ^existing proper ty /ho-sa id .

Twolve Acres At North High, Street on and off

ramps will bo in tho vicinity of property referred to as "Twelve Acres", contiguous to North High Street. The location of those-romPS will be determined by sight linos and the bend on th^t strcot arid Just oast of it abuttliie the railroad.

East of the tract there Is an abrupt hill which: crests a t 178 feet. To excavate would be too expensive, tho Commissioner .said. So tho road must go south where the ,orossing of Lake Saltonstall Is the narrow­est.

To avoid chopping any usable part of Lake Saltonstall, because ot its water supply and the fact that a drought might make t h e curtailed amount of water critical, tho state proposes to widen tho railroad cut rather than make a new one.

Two Hundred Feet , Because tho Highway .Depart­

ment realizes it Is a necessity tff preserve as much ' East Haven property as necessary In the In­terests of tho community and its plan for Industry, the commission Intends to use only a 200 foot right-of-way ra ther than the . normal 260 which Is standard over the remaining route. The reduction narrows the width 50 feet. Of the controversial twelve acres, the ex­pressway will rotiuiro five acres because of the need for soft curves for high speed travel. Hill said.

The construction costs of the I'/i miles through East Haven have been rouKhly estimated at about one million dollars and the purchase ot right-of-way an ad-, dltlonal $150,000, the Highway Com­missioner said. •
