KENT '

Several Nutmeg newspapers nave l harshly criticised the town of Kent for it's supposed opposition to De- fense Day. The Bristol Press opined | that the people of that town were misled into isupine soporifity by a small minority of parlor socialists and the result was a slap at 100 per cent Connecticut loyalty,
 But the Waterbury Republican@I evidently conversant with the situa- tion in that sylvan paradise, says the burg "has given us an example or sturdy American independence" It says minority apparently "at- tempted to lead the town into ob- servances that the majority did not approve, and the majority made us onpnsition so manifest that the pro- gram was eventually cancelled"
 We do not know whether the Bris- tol or the Waterbury view is correct and feel inclined to leave Kent at tend to it's own affairs. We are aware, however, that during the late war Kent was not singled out by the government as a slackars' town and if memory serves correctly, 1t met every requirement of the times
 The Waterbury Republican places
 Kent in its failure to observe De-
 fense Day in the class with ma
 ior,tv of American municipalities
 and quotes figures that should cause
 the Bristol editor to throw terriote

 Defense Day. Are we to conclude that so high a percentage of the
 towns and cities of this nation are freakish disloyal and all the rest of it?'
 The answer is in the negative A Il desirable as a general observance 5. Defense Day may have been, thos n who celebrated are not justified 1 .-e pointing the digit of scorn at thoS n who did not. This wasn't the aim ,-g. tbe day. The majority merely ma al have concluded that their patriotis
