MISS CONSIDINE, AS
 A POLITICAL LEADER
So Says Telephone Bulletin" in Article in This
 Months Issue

Have you noticed that telephone folks are first in lots of things? It isn't necessary, is it, to tell you what the things are?' Of course not, and then to do that would be difficult because of our we'll known and just ly famous modesty. You may have observed our modesty from time to time. We never have expressed our belief that the Bell System is the best telephone organization in the world, and that we, of The Southern New England, are the best part of it, This is all true, of course, but we'll let the rest of the world find it out without direct suggestion from us of the truth. Now doesn't that show how modest and retiring we are?
 Of course, we lead in many things. Take, for instance, politics, a realm in which this book seldom ventures, but in which lots of our male read CTS have taken part for years and in which some of our women readers now are taking not only an active part, but a directing part as well.
 Among us now we have a genuine political "leader", not just a ward leader, district leader or county lea der, but an honest to goodness state wide leader, who is Miss Ella Con- sidine, Exchange Manager at Ca- naan and the first and only woman member of the Republican State Central Committee.
 A builder of sharp epigrams once wrote that "A statesman is a poiiti- elan who is-dead", but we advise you that, so far as we know, Miss ConsidIne neither is, nor aspires to be a statesman. AS to whether she is politician, which may or may not be equivalent to being a live states man, we don't know, but we assume that she must know something of this great national indoor and outdoor pastime otherwise she would not have been chosen to represent the 31st Senatorial District on the State Central Committee.
 Most of the members of this Com mittee do play at this game. We have seen them do it, in the days z long ago when State Central Com mittees and such like in politics oc- cupied our reportorial attention.
 And we don't know whether the member from the 31st aspires to political office. Furthermore, it is

EVERGREENS TAKE SHORT
 END OF 29-2O SCORE
Lakeville Five Proves Too Fast for Local Ag-
 gregation
SHEFFIELD SATURDAY
Fast Game Looked for When Massaehusetts Play Here
 on Saturday

Lakeville proved a tough assign ment for the Evergreen A. c. last Saturday night, the locals taking the short end of 29-20 score.
 Jack Silvernale was easily the star of the contest, scoring fourteen points for the victors. Raynsford and N. Silvernale accounted for the remainder of the tallies. For the locals, Proper and Baldwin starred, tka fo-Eer cinking two nice field goc-J ar3 [ogl, and the latter eng ing four floor shots. Beaujon SCOT ed one field basket and four free throws
 Leo Stanard proved himself a capable referee and caused Lake vile to play one of the cleanest games in their basketball associa- tions with Canaan. Stansrd will probably handle the whistle this Sat u.Gay night vnen the Sheffield fire pen oppose the Everrreens.
 Lakeville scored the first point of the game on free throw by Jack Silvernale, Raynsford soon added two points to this nest egg. Baskets by Baldwin and Beaujon kept Ca- naan in the runnins but I.akeville drew away toward the end of the half, leading by 14-9 when the whistle blew. Opening the last half, Lakeville quickly scored enough points 70 win. The Evergreens fought hard, but stern chase is a long chase and they were unable to overtake their opponents.
 It is hard to tel why the locals failed to win that game. Their pass work was superior,---until the ball came under the Canaan basket. Then it went wrong somehow and Jake vile broke it up. Their basket shooting was poor whlie Lakeville courted the smiles of Lady Luck And for a third reason, perhaps Big Bill Raynsford's newly acquired hir- sute adornment was responsible. Those close cropped mustaehios ap- parently added new pep to him and he was in the game every minute. Those four -baskets he made coptvi- kuted no little toward the capturing of the uanaas Roy sn
