NOW FOR A NEW D EAL

The "Kicker controversy, edifying as it has been, has evidently run its course, and presumably fulfilled its mission, i'll having called attention to the condition of the East Canaan road from the East Canaan school house to the Norfolk line. and to the condition of the East Canaan school house. No harm can result from discussion of the actual needs and conditions of any section. In the present issue of The News North Canaanite'' deals with the school situation in reply to Kicker s statements, and the matter of the road has been argued by Selectman Moore. With regard to the new allegations brought forward by Kicker this week, The News is informed. on indisputable authority, that it is the expressed in tention of Highway Commissioner Mac Donald to have the stretch of East Canaan road i'll question made state road, in accordance with hls plans apply ing co all trunk roads, at state expense; hence no town appropriation will be required to defray any portion of the cost .....
 AS regards the assertion that the town arbitrarily voted to have no more town money appropriated for state roads, the same authority assures The News that the vote had reference to the current year, and in any event was not calcu- lated to be construed as eternally bind ing upon the town. Furthermore, that under certain assurances which would seem to indicate that the opposition is based on personal rather than economic grounds, the town would vote tomorrow in favor of an appropriation for state roads. rla-- t-...... ..
 The discussion, as indicated above, appears to have exhausted itself, and we are confident that parties to it will agree that The News, having given full and free hearing. may, without being sub jected to the charge of unfairness, declare the debate closed and invite the principals to start something else.

THOUGHT SEED.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Our life is like the blossom,
 Our life is like the cup Our thoughts are like the pollen That falls and then grows up. Each day of life we're planting Some seed in fertile ground, And all along life's pathway
 Our own blossoms are found. For thoughts are like the roses, Or like the cruel thorn They cheer or may embitter,
 They pierce or they adorn. God grant that we may scatter Seed that is good and true, That in the reaping season,
 Our harvest we'll not rue.
