LET'S CHANGE IT

The Hartford "Times" comment ing on the confusion caused by the names of this and the adjoining town, says:
 "There is sentiment in Canaan for a change in the name of the town. It is claimed that the change is necessary in order to end the con- fusion caused by the comparative similarity of the name of the town to that of North Canaan. The sug- gestion has been made to change the name to Falls Village, but this sug- gestion is met with the objection that the second half of the name would indicate the status of Vil- lage. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the new name for the town there is but one opinion as to the inconvenience caused by con- founding North Canaan with Canaan and it is that the inconvenience has become intolerable."
 Several times the News has point ed out that the confusion caused by the similarity of the names of the two towns, is not confined to the immediate vicinity. Also that an attempt was made at one time to have the legislature take the neces- sary action whereby Canaan would be known as Falls Village, but the legislator died and with him appar- ently all desire on the part of suc- ceeding legislators to correct nui- sance. It would seem therefore, that the next representative from North Canaan has an opportunity to relieve the town of inconvenience that is intolerable and cover him self with lasting honor.
 Comparatively few people outside of the two towns know where Ca naan is located. If asked they would probably refer to North Ca- naan and the name of the latter town is so little known that mail matter so directed invariably first finds it's way to New Canaan. Falls Village is generally known and if the name suits the people as a name for their village, why should it not be good enough to call a town? ,>
 The time is opportune to abate this confusion. An investigation should be made to ascertain the sen- timent in both towns regarding a change and the necessary action taken. Let's get the name of Ca naan where it belongs, where custom has established it and where it will not cause confusion. "7A

will concede the defeat of Mayor Fitzgerald for Governor. His gross mismanagement of the City of New Haven reminds one too strongly of other democratic mismanagement from which the country has not yet recovered. The pulling power of Templeton, therefore, will carry along with him into office the other republican nominees until we get to Healey. Undoubtedly he will be elected but by a much smaller ma jority than the foregoing, but there are bound to be many who will in- dicate their disapproval of his recent action in attempting to depose Chairman Roraback.
 Senator Mclean and Congressman Glynn have established themselves so firmly by. their indefatigable efforts to represent the state as ex- pressed by the majority, that there is practically no likelihood of their being defeated. For sheriff We have good men on both tickets, but F. H.. Huntington has made a name for himself in Litchfeld county that vo- ters are not prone to forget. "Chet'' Middlebrooks is a popular chap, but so is old "Turk" and when a man is doing his duty and a little more, why not keep him in office?
 Rudd and Darcey are two more good men. But for a state senator some qualifications are necessary besides being a good fellow. Rudd has them. He proved them at the last session and his experience at that time will add to his usefulness in the coming session. For representative from this town it looks like "Joe' Parsons was elected, but one never can tell, for while we have a repUb- lican majority here, queer things happen sometimes. Regarding the latter we'll tell you more in next weeks paper.
Connecticut western news., 1922-11-02

speaker. sENo tyranny is as great as that of a minority over majority" :" That is a magnificent sentence.
 A representative should have a good appetite for facts, should ap- preciate hisS own mind and such abilities as he possesses. He should not be unduly influenced by his wife nor any female relative that is his, be she his rich aunt or mother-in- law. He must ever be mindful of the sad fact that his salary will not put him on easy street for the rest of his life, nor will his marble bust ever be putt on a pedestal in the legislative halls of fame. ~
 Of course mans, relatives. want him to win when he is up for office, and so does his party. although it frequently happens that the man gets left,s because too many of his party voted flor the other candidate. I have eleetioned for the other party more than once and find I have quite a flair for it. Wish. I was on the job again.
 After a man has once been a representative of his town or a sell ectman, he is sure of a good obitu- ary. You see the friend or editor who writes the obituary has some thing to fall back on, for it must be hard work to write an obituary. So it is every mans duty to strive to be a representative or at least select man before he dies. If at first. he isn't elected he must try, try, try again.-H.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
A Pome of Pants and Patches

A Pome of Pants and Patches
 I've won success beyond my scheming and wealth beyond my widest dreaming. Whatever fate may later chance, I now have three whole pairs of pants. That is, fear, two pairs too many, since some good brothers have not any. ] do, not hesitate to say that I have often seen the day, nay have known year or more when one whole pair was all my store. When long OCT hill and plain I'd chased them, and no new trousers had replaced them, those pants, by Hannah's ski1lful art, were patched upon their widest part. l wore that patch and sat upon 1t when writing many rhyme and sonnet. Those early rhymes are still unmatched by later ones that l have matched, cen since I've worked with pants unpatched. O every morning just at dawn before I put those britches on, my wife looked over them to see if they were safe and sane for me. And later, ere to work I went, at her command often bent, to see if I had sprung a rent. And if she saw as I was going, a strip of B. V. D's was showing, I'd yank them off right then and there, and shiver in the chilly air, the while she made a quick repair. Un- less work my rusty pen those pant less times may come again; but, for the present, I rejoice and sing with loud melodious voice, enjoy my trousers while I've got them, before hard wear and weather rot them.
