mere are some people WaOS6 WOrk~ never ceases to shine. The work of Miss Helen F. Boyd, recently resigned head of the Visiting Nurses Associa.- ! tion here. is constantly receiving com-- l nnendation from those who khow of | her work. She will leave December IT to accept a position in Mansfield. l Ohio, under Dr. Walter H. Brown, formerly Of this city.
 The harbor men. always apprecia- l tive of good newspaper man, and generally kind to them, received a 1 young scribe the other day with open | arms, and invited him to partake of l fshermen's chow, which he relished
 and appreciated. There are some
 people who appreciate us poor scribes l after all.
 1 Where do sweetest blossoms of | courtesy bloom? Not at the dances i where people wear their finest gar | ments, but in the garment of unse1- l'fshness. Wallf1owers multiply in these 1 days. It is no longer the duty of the
 swain. to see that every girl has a 1 $
 1 Not in high society, or at social 1 functions is courtesy in dominance. | These places are characterized by the
 spirit of free and easy. that goes with
 bookkeeping days and nights of wood 1 alcohol.
 l On humble jitneys people are cour- | teous with a kindness elsewhere un- | known. Riders slide over to make l room for one more. The young men | to old men. A woman with a baby in | her arms or bundles is seated with alarcity. Women under such condi- tions give up their seats to other women. l The jitneys are the last resort of | courtesy and on these vehicles even the order ''step to the rear'' and l ffY11ra <aIao I, pleasing haste. These flowers of | courtesy are fertilized with love. The people are with the jitneys, they love them-they are trying to make them Alfred w. Jeynes' nomination as postmaster at Ansonia comes as the | reward of many years service at the | Brid geport office. The confirmation 1 by the Senate will now go to the l President and the latter's official sig nature is all that is needed to make | this veteran Federal empIoye a full l fedged postmaster.
 
 | Tomato seeds have come to be rec | ognized as a source of protein feed for | live, stock and a hitherto unused by | product is shown by government eX- l perts to be of great value. Local | farmers should save the seeds of their | over supply of red tomatoes and in- 1 corporate them into the diet of their l live stock.

 l We expect to see more healthy peo- | pie in town hereafter, when people begin to eat whole wheat breed and l other health foods recommended by | Dr. Tones. White bread, for years | the .'staff of life'' is slipping fast, and | whole wheat taking it's place. In To- | cal restaurants it is noticeable the | number of patrons who call for the
 unb1eached flour bread in preference l to white.

 1 The Meriden Journal waxes indig- | nant in a recent article, concerning a 1 young lady who was to be married. | She had filled out a. blank for the l Journal, it seems, when it was impos- l sible for her to get to the Journal of
 flee on account of the football fans | and asked man on another paper to
 deliver it to the Journal.
 
 1 He took it and above her request to 1 publish it in the Journal he wrote.
 Publish in--and in the morning in | the Journal. Thus an exclusive we'd | ding story was snitched from the | morning sheet by the evening, and | the Journal is mad, mad clean l through evidently, and the story goes
 that it was a master stroke at news | Snitching.
 Marshal Foch had the opportunity
 of observing a real Thanksgiving, for | on that day, he had the opportunity l of seeing nearly entire nation turn l its thoughts toward giving thanks to | the Giver of all, for the blessings that | we enjoy, although there are those 1 who think we have nothing to be | thankful for.
 l We have our health, most of us, but how about those boys who three and | four years ago had no Thanksgiving, | except that they were alive and many
 of them probably wished they were 1 dead. Thousands of them are still
 suffering from the effects of that hor- | rible war; and you who have your | health and some wealth, think of 1 those boys in the hospitals, and give | thanks that you have been able to | help them.
 l Charming Cox, governor of the Bay
 papers. MT. Cox knows. History is
 being made every day in these times,
 and recorded on the pages of journal i ism's product. If youngsters would
 forget the dross which inevitable
 creeps in, choose good reliable me
 dium of news. they will increase their
 knowledge of history aand improve
 their minds, as with any study
 "Okolehao'' is what the Hawaiian asks for when he wants bootleg liquor.
 This doesn't mean that any one
 should ask for 1t here Dealers in the
 stuff might think it was a revenuer's
 password and get savage.
 New Workers want better alder
 men! Isn't that strange? Is there
 any city in the country that doesn't t
 want better aldermen? It can't be done. Until the time comes when
 fearless men who have all the quail | ties which will please all factions of the electorate. will run for and be elected to public office, New York, poor old place, will have to be con tent with ordinary aldermen.

 Did you put your machinery out of order yesterday? You know, turkey is fine, but when we go after 1t with
 a real live Thanksgiving appetite. it's | not like the kid days when we could
 eat nearly '.fit to bust and feel O. K.
 in a few hours, but this business of
 overtaxing the digestive organs is seri-
 ous, and now that people are paying
 more attention to such matters 1t paw.
