That the Stratford poverty among certain unfortunate classes has not yet been forgotten is evident from an article in the current number of the Good Housekeeping magazine. While good may come of such articles and plenty of help will be needed be- fore the winter Is over, Stratford people will get a laugh in some of the statements, or at least find that they have to go long ways frons speaks of the mayor" and how the townspeople didn't care how much money he spent illegally, in order to provide work on the street for the starving men.
 The article, illustrated. leads from Stratford. and covers the general de- pression and suffering in various parts of the country If it will not let people forget that there are some mighty needy near home, who have the worst part of a hard winter ahead of them, it will have done a lot of good For many, conditions right now, are a great deal worse than they were a year ago.

She was approved by the voters at the last election, not having an opponent, and to have gone contrary to the wishel of a majority of the voters wouldn't have helped matters. She has been the assistant to Town Clerk Harold O. Lowell, and certainly deserves the chance. A. R. Roswell, already wei. taken care of by town work, and Howard Wilcoxson, opposed her. If the work is too much for her, that will be another matter. The people have a bug now on the efficiencN. Strange.
