Dealrs magazine adopted at the southern Hardware Jobbers' Associa- ton meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey. The resolution pays the final respects to the late Robert N. Peck, a former vice-president of the Stanley Works factory.
 The following resolutions in honor of the memory of MT. Peck were pre- sented by Murray Sargent to a meet ing of the Southern Hardware Job bers' Association in the recent con- vention at Atlantic City. MT. Sargent said:
 "Mr. President and members of the two associations. I think it would be Peck, the members of both associa- be replaced, and it seems to us to be appropriate that some action be taken at this time, and I will read this reso- lution which we offer today:
 The members of the Southern Hardware Jobbers' Association,3 the American Hardware Manufacturers Association and the Canadian Hard ware Manufacturers Association, represented by Messrs. Stark and Hardy. in joint session at Atlantic City learn with very deep regret of the untimely death of Robert N. Peck, and manager of sales of the Stanley Works. In view of the many years in which he was connect ed intimately with the association, it is our desire that the deep sense of personal loss felt by all members of the two associations he registered at this time. Through the high qualities of his character and his splendid en- thusiasm and loyalty and very high standard of business ethics was set. the effect of which will be of per manent value throughout the hard ware trade. We, his friends, desire that a copy of this resolution be sent to his family and business asso- ciates.'

He is at the head of a large hardware business in Waterbury and he has a wide circle of friends in this city. A prominent local republican said that the present Governor Everett J. Lake, should he desire re-nomination would be offer ed the place due to his record, all though it is in its infancy. There is some talk of Everett J. Lake accepting the nomination for U. S. senator should the vacancy occur.
 Rooms are gong around catch as catch can" at the capitol these days. J. Henry Roraback is also being talk ed of to go to Washington as a sen ator. The Templeton boom for gover- nor, should the vacancy occur, is the one most often spoken of. Senators Bowers and Potter are reported to have heard the congressional bee buzzing around, and it is understood that neither one of the two would do the fading violet act should the nom- ination be offered them.
 Now comes the news from uncertain origins that there is trouble about the R. O. T. C. of the New Britain High school. It is rumored that few of the members of the unit will fail to graduate because they did not pass the course It is a major subject, just like English or mathematics. It is the understanding of the Observer that the members of the unit were warned that the subject must be passed in or der to get the necessary credits for graduation, but there seemed to be a few who would not take these warn ings seriously and now they may have to pay the price. The school board made an agreement with the govern
