THE HAPPY LAND

The confusion of names in the case of the town of Canaan and North Canaan may be cleared up as a result of a controversy now going on in the Connecticut Western News, whose editor recently called down the state motor vehicle department for crediting North Canaan autos to Canaan owners. Commissioner Stoeckel retorted that the confusion is caused by the owners themselves, who give their addresses as they appear in the official list.
 The confusion arises from the fact that both towns were originally 1ne -Canaan-which was divided some thing over sixty years ago, the southern section, which has always been known as "Falls Village" retaining the original name Canaan, and the northern section taking the name North Canaan"-a choiee which MT. John B. Reed, an old and lifelong resident, says in a letter to The News, was the alternative to the name "Podunck". However, the old names have stuck to the respective sections, and the town which is properly North Canaan. is universally [. except in the official documents and the State archfves-called Canaan" while the real Canaan is known as "Falls Village" and their respective postofices are.-so named. ,, About ten years ago the repre- sentative from Falls - Village
 (Canaan) introduced a bill in the Legislature changing the designations to conform to general custom, but he died before his bill got anywhere

THE GREAT AND NEAR GREAT

Now and then a rare opportunity is aff forded by contrasts to distinguish right from wrong methods, the spurious from the genuine, the great from the near great. No better opportunity has been offered than at the recent state Chamber of Com merce banquet, to decide between an apparent right and wrong solution of vexatious problem, as presented in the remarks of a distinguished business man and of noted politi- clan. Undoubtedly both thought they were right. :. One was the straightforward presentation of facts as gleaned through personal. contact with the problem. The other offered a panacea of more or less visionary nature, whose magnitude alone left an. impression that might easily be mistaken for a practical solution. 7
 When the program was concluded, any discerning person not aware of the names of either of the two speakers, would undoubtedly state that one was a politician and the other a practical business man. A wonderful contrast between one who has nearly. reached the pinnacle of his profession and showed the other to be nothing more than an aspirant.
 Of still more recent date there is the case of Mayor Oles of Youngs- town, Ohio, who resigned after six months service, because he was Continually "knocked' and often tempted to "sell himself". During his tenure of office much good was accomplished for the public benefit, yet he resigned for apparent lack of appreciation, to state the reason mildly, which means nothing more or less than that the job was much bigger than the man.
 7 What a contrast between the mayor and some great Americans ~Who had many times what he had to contend with, yet had no thought of shirking their duty, They combated ,so-called lack of appreciation, "knockingp or bribery with 2 sympathetic understanding of ignor- ance or stern rebuke, as the situation warranted. On each fresh wave of trouble they rose, to greater heights in the estimation of the people, until their names are passed down from generation to. generation as an example of patriotic manhood.
 In business or political life or any other form of endeavor there is constant opportunity to segregate the genuine and the spurious. In this we find many that have the appear ance of being genuine, until we "ring" them, only to find a rank counterfeit. Just so with Mayor Oles. Which reminds us of a remark made by Abraham Lincoln: some people are unable to distinguish between popularity and notorietyl l4n-. -4y.r zA --~.-~rnE~& 4x A cc TreAT HHTTcTH

A. and M. Students Trial on Murder
Charge Ended; Jury Gets Case

(By The United Press.)

Saltwater Okla, June 29-The
case of Earl Gordon. 25, Miami
Okla, on trial for the murder of
Beckham Cobb, %, Birmingham
Ala, is now in the hands Of the
jury
The case went to the jury at
t2:45, after G. G. Suman, state coun-
sci, argued before the jury for two
hours.
Suman referred TO Cobb as "vio.
lent man whom a woman could dis
arm" after telling how Cobb's wife
had disarmed her husband when he
had threatened Gordon with the gun
in their home.
Suman charged that Gordon was
the aggressor and followed Cobb
around with the one purpose of kill
ing Cobb in his mind. He killed
Cobb when the latter had his back
turned, Suman charged. Then, after
the man was on his back, pleading
for his life, Gordon deliberately
fired according to Suman.
Suman did not deny that he ad-
vised Gordon to carry gun with
which to defend himself. He al
ways referred to Cobb as a harmless
and sick veteran who was shell
shocked and gassed while in the re-
cent war
