ROTARIANS LISTEN
TO INSPIRING TALK
Rev, ". H. Anderson Delivers
Address at Noon Luncheon

AT Home In Rotary" was the
subject OF an eloquent address de-
uvered to the New Britain Rotary
club today by Rev. William H. Al
derson. pastor OF Trinity NJ, Z.
church and chaplain OF the club. Mr.
Anderson delivered the Same al.
dress at meeting OF the New Brit
ain and Middletown Rotary clubs in
Middletown last week and the speech
made such a hit that he was re-
Quested 10 deliver 1t again today.
He pointed out that many mem
bers Of the Rotary club look at the
club from different angles, but that
it was the same as two people sit
ting on the sands at the seashore as
the moon comes up on a summer
night. Each person sees an inli-
yidual stream Of golden light ex-
tending from the moon 10 his or her
very feet, when they get closer to-
gether they find 1t is the same light
and the same moon.
He then painted picture o. all
Arctic explorer who, before the days
OF radio, took coop OF homing
pigeons with him, and Of how these
pigeons when released amids. the
denseness o. the frozen Arctic waste
flew directly home over thousands
of miles OF frozen sea and ice field.
He pointed out that the homins IN
stinct In the breast Of the pigeon Is
found IN the breast OF every man,
and that though men may travel all
over the world, there always is an
urge TO return sometime to the land
OF their birth and the home where
they spent their boyhood days
Mr.. Anderson described how every
man thinks no one can COOK JUST
like his mother, and humorously
painted a picture OF a man VINO
coming home after a hard day $
work expecting to find a meal OF
roast beef and mashed potatoes ana
apple pie, is faced with a delicates-
sen lunch. Lets have a real meal
in Rotary OF friendship, and COM
panionship and loyalty and not a
dolicatessen lunch" he pleaded
He urged that Rotariahs be Will
ing to accept from each other
friendly criticism when 1t is for their
good. asked that they make their
club a real home and that they
remain loyal to each other.
Flowers were ordered sent 10

office OF first seleetman at Old Say

which was quite depressing for a
year cursed by a coal strike.
But these wocful manifestations
Of nature have not materialiZed in
great measure. There has been Sc
rious cold In the west, but no more
serious than usually. Connecticut
has been spared until the present
moment; and If It gets no worse
we can stand it fairly well.
Extremes Of temperature always
bring with them a number OF
deaths attributed to the weather
During an excessive cold wave ex-
ira care must be given heating

overheating than come from ex'

LET COURT DECIDE
ROND OWNERSHIP

Much has been written of late in
the form OF press dispatches re-
sarding the defalcations OF former
state Treasurer Gipatric who is
doing time In Atlanta while blind
as a result OF his attempt at sui
eide. The point at issue is whether
the state is in possession Of Liberty
bonds which had once been appro-
priated by the treasurer and then
returned after being rebought by
money stolen in Putnam. There
seems TO be some doubt whether
the state has a right to bonds
placed in its hands in this alleged
manner.
This matter is a thing for the
courts to determine. 1t involves a
principle OF ethics that cannot be
settled as a political issue, If in
deed It ever desccnds TO one. Po-
ntical excitement cannot be famed
very we'll over a question tnvolv-
ing one mans dishonesty and his
alleged methods of attempting TO
cover up his tracks. II the officials
of the Putnam bank think the
state has bonds TO which the bank
is entitled, a friendly suit should
be brought.
There have been charges that
state poNticians endeavored &c
cover up the Gilpatric mess as
much as possible, so that the state
apparently could lose nothing. j
this Is true the politicians acted &C
cording to the instincts OF politi'
clans eager 10 keep their admins,
