Old Naval Officers Face Hard Times

EIFTY-NINE old sea dogs of the
L American navy are in trouble This
Is group of naval officers who in
some cases have served as far back as
1898 and were formerly officers of the
naval auxiliary service. 1t appears
that in the days in which they took an
active part in the navy, they received
some sort of an indefinite promise that
they would never be relieved from
duty as long as they were alive and
also that in later years their families
would receive pensions. The branch
of the service in which they served
was organized in 1898 to command
naval supply vessels. But in the emer-
gency of 1917 congress arbitrarily
forced these old-time auxiliary officers
into the newly organized naval reserve.
Under their auxiliary organization
they were accorded the same amount
of pay and other benefits as the regu-
lars. But since their enforced entry
into the naval reserve of 1917 they
have become a part of the organized
reserve, which under the present naval
bill will be greatly reduced.

was the first officer of the supply ship
Zafiro, which went with Admiral
Dewey's fleet into Manila bay in 1898.

Mr.. Swing said the unified project
will provide homes and farms for thou
sands of eX-Seryice men and women,
as the secretary of the interior is au-
thorized under the bill to use the
stored waters to reclaim arid lands
below, of which the government itself
owns about 100000 acres, now worth
less, but highly productive when water
is put upon them.
The building of this dam will make
possible the creation of 0,000-horse-
power of electrical energy much need
ed to supplement our rapidly diminish
ing oil supply. Ready markets for this
power exist in the mines of Utah,
Arizona and Nevada, the railroads In
the southwest and in the cities of
southern California. The power priv
ileges at the dam will be sold or
leased under governmental regulations
which will guarantee an equitable dis
tribution among the various states and
communities.
The proceeds from the sales and
leases of the power will pay the cost of
the dam. The cost of the irrigation
work and canals will be repaid by the
lands benefited.

Secretary Fall for the protection and
development of the lower Colorado riv-

In the house by Representative Swing,

calls for an appropriation of $70,000,-

a dam creating an immense reservoir

EDITOR RORABACK

The Canaan News is edited during the two weeks absence of Editor Krouse on vacation, by J. Clinton Roraback, a lawyer, son of former Supreme Court Justice A. T. Rora- back, and nephew of J. Henry Rora- back, who has moro cr less acquaint- ances around the State, both of whom in early life. before achieving distinction, fame and fortune, had to do with editorializing OF that same paper. Probably that connec- tion was not altogether the most potent source of the impetus that launched them on their respective upward carears-cthers who have boasted the same connection have attained to lesser heights-but it. has blended into a tradition that-is one of the assets of the paper, and as a family precedent it should be an inspiration to J. Clinton. They courted for while the muse of literature in journalism, and went forth equipped for triumphant ca reers. Why should not he repeat their achievement?
 We look to see The News, in the ensuing two weeks, reflect something of the judicial quality, and the bene- volent dignity that characterized it in those long-gone days of Roraback guidance.
 The sub. editor signalizes his debut in fashion up to date. He offers a prize for the best essay on "What is the matter with our town ?"
 We can conceive of such a conun- drum, propounded in some of Ca naan's neighboring towns-Wjnsted, for eliciting an interest ing variety of replies. But as for Canaan, the query immediately sug- gests another query. Is Anything the matter with Canaan?-Green- wich News & Graphic.

Church stock in the Mahaiwe bank and there has been much outside speculation as to why outside parties had entered the field. One of the reports is that J. H. Lansing, who has been president of the Mahaiwe bank for the last few years, is to re- sign at the end of the year. Mir. Lansing, when seen by newspaper men, intimated that this was true. He came to the Great Harrington bank from Canaan, Conn.,, first as cashier and was made president two years ago.
 In regard to another bank, John I. Harper, the druggist, who purchased the old brick store building at the corner of Main and Bridge streets from Arthur T. Wake who inherited the bulk of the Searles fortune, has been approached by, men from Bos- ton and Great Harrington for the sale of this property, which would include. the building and about 20 feet in the rear. It is considered an ideal location for a bank. In case the deal should go through the exist ing building would be torn down and handsome modern banking building erected on the site. A meet ing was held in Pittsfeld this after noon when the transaction is under stood to have been considered.
 Great Harrington is we'll off indus trially just now and is having a healthy growth and many people feel that there is room enough there for another banking institution. It is said that one moneyed man is willing to take $100,000 in a new bank. The town has two banks, the National and the Great Harrington Savings bank There is a Cooperative bank in Housatonic.
 J. H. c. Church is said to have received $35,000 for his interest in the Mahaiwe. He has been one of the most influential men in southern Berkshire financial affairs for many years.

ganized effort to keep it's plant here. The Business Mems Association seems to have died a slow but sure death. This organization properly conducted could prove of great as sistance to the development of the town. Lakeville has a live organi- zation and one accomplishment of this organization is sufficient proof of it's usefulness and that is the re suit of an organized effort-to secure aid in the construction of state high ways within the town. North Canaan ought to make some attempt to SC cure the improvement of our trunk lines especially resurfacing of Main and Railroad Streets.
 We should get out of this old rut of depending upon someone else to take the brunt of the entire load ; put our shoulders to the wheel and do our share in not only keeping this grand and glorious town at the front where it now is but put it away ahead. Make it a leader so that our neighboring towns will even more than now copy after us. Boost your town, do not knock it. Cut out your small town religious, political and petty differences of opinion and work for the welfare of the community and you will agree with the acting editor that even amid these topsy- turvy economic and social times people in your own home town are pretty good after all despite the yamping of the pettifogger and scandlemonger. If any one should ask you "What is the matter of your Home Town" tell him there is noth- ing the matter with it. Three cheers for the Good town of North Canaan and the many good people in it.
