fortunately cancer in early stages is
frequently not accompanied by pain
and is therefore neglected until 1t be-
comes inoperable. Medicine which re-
lieves pain does not have any ehect
upon the disease itself but simply de-
lays the proper treatment. Cancer IS

Roraback Chairman of Com.
 mittee to Consider Representation

J. Henry Roraback,> the only per son from this town to attend the in auguration of President Harding, re- turned from Washington Saturday evening. MT. Roraback also went to Washington to meet with the Ma tional Republican committee on Thursday. In an interview at his home, he expressed himself as much impressed by President Harding's address, by the spontaneous enthu- siasm and the immense crowds, and remarked that the whole affair was inspiring in spite of the omitted parade and pomp. He sad that thanks to the amplifyer, President Harding's voice could be heard plainly for some distance.
 Will H. Hays presided at the meet ing of the republican national con- mittee, and did not resign. He will do so at meeting to be held in June. As this was the first meeting since the election, there were several re- ports of special committees to be heard. The committee appointed to consider the basis of future repre- sentation at conventions had not completed it's work and will report in June.
 MT. Roraback was appointed chair man of committee which is to con- sider the application of Panama Canal Zone republicans for repre- sentation on the national committee and in future republican conven- tions. With him on this committee are Mr. Esterbrook of New Hamp- shire and MT. McDermott of Texas. MT. Roraback will have report ready for the June meeting.
 MT. Roraback said that the Presi- dent, during the inauguration re- ceived a tremendous ovation when he indicated in his speech the atti- tude of the United States in regard to other countries. MT. Roraback did not chance to see ex-President Wilson, as he was not on Pennsyl- vania avenue when the journey was made from the White House to the Capitol. At the committee meet ing on Thursday he saw, besides Chairman Hays, Attorney General Daugherty and Secretary of War Weeks.

PASTOR MAKES GOOD
Rev. A. H. Nesbitt Doing Good
 Work in New York

To the many friends of Rev. A. H. Nesbitt, the following clipping from tho New York City Centenary Re port will prove interesting. ..
 One year ago your City Society believed the Mott Avenue Church to be a hopeless proposition and limited it's assistance to the maintenance of the property. Undaunted by this setback, tie Rev. A T. Nesbitt, Las- tor of the .kn:ch. went to work to
 make Mott Ayenr Church gr The program of pecsIual service rendered by him 70 the members of this c,,m- munity regardless of their connec- ton with his church, has made this institution a true neighhorhood cen- ter. For example: the pastor reports he has represented 29 families be- fore the courts in rent profiteering cases and has won a favorable deci- sion in all but ono of them. 45 new members were added to the church enrolment, which practically doubles it's strength as a working organiza- ton. Though the total number of members is still small, the aggregate attednance for 1319-20 is 14,500. In financial support the church has raised a total of $3,933.12 toward current expenses and benevolences. This is more than four times the attainment of any recent year.

MISS s. J. RORABACK
 OBSERVES BIRTHDAY
Some Tributes by Several of Her Former
 Associates

On Thursday of this week, Miss Sarah J. Roraback, for over 50 year: teacher in the schools of this vi cinity, will pass one more of life's milestones. Firmly believing that 8 flower now and then to the living is worth more than 8 wreath after death, 8 number of Miss Roraback's former associates in the school have contributed tokens of esteem in the tributes printed herewith.
 While Miss Roraback is not in the best of health, her mind is as keen as ever and we trust that the follow ing will give her at least some small portion of pleasure and comfort in the knowledge that her good work has not passed unnoticed.
 To the Editor of the News:
 1t is a pleasure to comply with your request for a word of personal tribute to Miss Roraback, through the columns of your paper.
 Only the knowledge that publicity is distasteful to her restrained me from writing such an expression of appreciation at the time she relin- quished the duties of the position which she filled so long and so faith fully and 90 efficiently. But in rec ognition of her anniversary day, we may appropriately offer to her our tokens of praise and esteem.
 AS an associate, I know something of the patience and the earnest, tire less, conscientious effort she put into her work, and of the wholesome in- fiuence of her life, in preOept and example. She lived for the school, and in all the years of her devoted labors, she gave to it her best. With such a nature as hers it was inevit- able that an atmosphere of refine ment should permeate her schoel, and that her fellow teachers as we'll as her pupils should feel the up-lift of it. It is cause for profound re- gret that health considerations com pei her retirement from a work for which she is so we'll suited, and the wish must be universal that she may be restored to the full vigor of per feet health and the enjoyment of many years to come in which to re- fleet on the fruits of her labors, and the consciousness that she has exerted a lasting influence in mould tContinued on page 9

CONDUCTOR o'HERN
 40 YEARS IN THE HARNESS
Den" A Well-Known Figure
 to the Travelling 4 Public

The conductor peered momentaril' through the car window out into tn, night, where the light reflected iron the passing train showed nothing but white expanse of snow, punctuatec now and then by a tree-the tele graph poles were on the other side He paused a second as he stood anC then he gave the rope three long pulls to notify the engineer to stoI at Grants.
 Can you tell where you are at by looking at the snow banks?" 8 pas. senger asked.
 T was just checking up by the trees, l know where we are by the motion of the train," said Conductor Dennis O'Hern.
 Twenty-four. thousand days Con- ductor O'Hern has ridden over the Central New England railroad and he can tell within the length of the train where he is at any moment by the motion of the passenger coaches as they wind up and down the Con- necticut and New York hills. He says he knows every tree and tele- graph pole along the line, and he has been on the ground at every rail point from Hartford to the Hudson river at some time or other to fix a drawhead, cut of a car, let the train in or out of 8 siding, or do countless other things that trainman has to do.
 Forty years ago Conductor 0'Hern began his daily trips over the Cen tral New England-the Connecticut Western railroad in those days-and he has been at it all but one year since. That one year was put in on the Naugatuck division of the N. Y, N. H. & H. in 1889.
 There were three of the O'Hern boys who went to work on Conductor "Dick" Pollard's milk train, 40 years ago--Jim, Den and Bill O'Hern-and their life work has been railroading, though Bill, who was later an engin- ger, has retired from active work and lives in Winsted. His sons, Billy and George, engineer and brakeman, keep up the family traditions.
 Jim O'Hern, efficient railroad man that he is, was once the spokesman for T striking train crew in the early dayssS Jim is known to everyone, and he is the oldest of the boys. The three O'Hern brothers were Conductor Pollard's crew on the old milk train, which left Winsted at $40 in the morning, came to Hart ford, turned and went to Millerton, turned and got back to Winsted at about g 80 at night. It was mixed train, freight and passenger, did

BETTER CITIZENSHIP
h Encouraged By Thrift, Ssys
 Governor Lake

Better citizenship is encouraged by systematic savings, says Governor Everett J. Lake of Connecticut, in a letter which he has just sent to the Savings Division of the First Federal Reserve District, in Boston. The Governor points out that the wisdom of encouraging thrift is being dem- onstrated this year in overcoming the unbridled spending in the past few "fat" years.
 Any movement that has for it's object the encouragement of thrift and saving will always receive my hearty support, writes the Cover nor. "The wisdom of cuitivating such traits and habits is now being aptly demonstrated in the pending hesitancy of business and reaction from the fat years immediately preceding 1921.
 "The habit of careful saving ana thrift should be instilled in our children when they are young. Such habits, if formed in childhood, muxt persist in after life, and will be re- flected not only in their individual lives but in their attitude toward public affairs. Tangible evidence of this thrift on the part of the people of Connecticut is found in the re- ports of our savings institution showing a healthy and encouraging growth of savings up to the present time.
 "A reasonable self-denial and forbearance from luxuries in order to set aside regularly moneys in a savings account against the future makes for healthier and more self reliant citizenship, and is source of pride and comfort to she indivi- dual"
