FALLS VILLAGE

Falls Village, May 29, 1922. The Editor, CoEn. Western News, Canaan, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 trust you will grant me space in your paper to correct the erroneous, impression of the conditions in The Congregational Church as they are at this time. 1t is true that consider able opposition developed against our pastor, and a vote was taken as re- ported in your issue of last week. l would like to state here that any ac- ton taken at this meeting was in no way binding on the members of the chureh. The impression has been giv- en that this was a legal meeting of the church when in fact it was mere ly an open meeting of the committees of the Ecclesiastical Societies. It was the wish of the loyal members of the ChurRh that it be kept open, but in view of the sentiment expressed at that meeting our pastor has. seen fit to withdraw his services and the church will be indefinitely closed as a result tt. It is to be hoped that those who were led to think this action was legal, and who were influenced to vote for closing the church may see the folly of the matter and be heart fly sorry for this deplorable state of affairs. eu
 I might add in closing that the financial end of the matter could easily have been overcome as there were several offers of financial aid if needed, and which to my mind would not be necessary as the society is far from being bankrupt as some would have us believe a'% .%.
 Trusting this may explain matters to all T am, t
 Yours very truly, 4.

The Mosquito Pest.

A NACOSTIA it seems is not the only suf
"A terer from an invasion of mosquitoes these
late summer evenings The neighborly folks of
Park View also scratching and cursing and
wondering-for they have no immedat breeding
place OF insects close at hand as the Anacostia
flats upon which they blame their troubles
They have tried to trace the pests to a draned-of
pond in Soldiers Home Park without success. 1t
seems that they are doomed to scratch for time
until cold weather kills the insects or drives them
to a warmer climate.
But it seems that the prevalence OF MOSQUITOES
IN the District this can be explained with
out any great difficulty The season has been un-
usually damp. Rainy day has followed rainy day
Pools have been formed in all localities which
have not had an opportunity to dry up between
storms. Marsh lands have remained marsh lands
throughout the season.
Wherever there is stagnant water mosquitoes
are bound to originate. They are not found, ac-
cording to the best authorities, where there is no
stagnant poo. 1t seems, then, that the various
District citizens associations have Job made to
order. They render excellent service to the
people OF their sections by appointing committees
to explore the sequestered hooks where such pools
likely to have formed. Then an inexpensive
coating of oil will free the neghborhood of the
insects
While the mosquito hordes remain they con-
sttute not only drawback to the comfort of the
residents but positive menace to health. 1t is
surprising that there has been no epidemic of
malaria OF even serious sicknesses These
however, certain to come in time unless the
mosquitoes eliminated.
For several years before this summer the Dis
trct was remarkably free OF these dangerous in
sects. They cannot be allowed to get hold here
when they can be routed so easily. Investment by
each citizens association in barrel of oil is likely
to bring returns OF many hundred per cent.
Mosquitoes exist without breeding
places than men exist without food. The whole
problem is to get rid CT the stagnant pools, the
mud holes, etc Radiance Of the pests themselves

they have become cynical since-very cynical in
deed as they have watched the progress of the
world since the armistice was signed
The present conflict in the Near East is
pregnant with what is often described as "a holy
war" II will be splendid to talk about defending
Christianity" etc, to the boys who were just too
young to fight in the last war. But it is apt TO
make little impression upon most of the men who
fought "to make the world safe for democracy
The American people, just at present, are re-
acting to the opposite extreme of the enthusiasm
which they had in days. They don't applaud
so much now when some second-rate performer
tries to redeem poor act by waving the Stars
and Stripes or having the orchestra play the ma
tional anthem. They more apt to leave the
theater in disgust.
For the next ten years it will be difficult in
decd to get the populace into war for an alb
stract which they do not understand very
clearly indeed. They not accepting the flag as
an argument these days nor allowing the tune OF
the Star Spang.cd Banner to be substituted for

Bearing these facts in mind, it does not seem
probable that the United States will become in
