WOMEN IN POLITICS

IL was generally expected that wom- en when they got started in politics would make their influence felt on the esthetic side-h there should be such side. Well, they are doing 1t. Here Is the Women's Democratic club of Philadelphia in action. They have demanded-and they are push ing the matter-that the donkey as the party emblem be abolished. They declared ''the unsightly donkey does not stand for the virtues of the organ ization."
 So far very well. But ladies, be- coming constructive, suggested as a new emblem the eagle. That falls a little flat. That rapasious. murder ous. unprineipied old bird has long been overworked In the emblem business. He is fast getting to be a back number as people become more enlightened and understand him and his kind better.
 Canada now in the throes of choosing a national bird is balanc- ing between the song sparrow and the honest Canadian goose. That Is more like it. Those birds stand for something. Up with the good birds and down with the bad ones. That's the modern sentiment. And besides. the Democrats already have the rooster.

BRIDGE OVER RIVER
 OPRIEST7S ISLAND
Rumor That State Park Com mission Is to Improve This
 Property
Will Afford Pstnam A Fine Rserea-
 ton Grove


 It is understood that plan is under way to provide a bridge over the quinebaug river from its west bank to what has for many years been known as Priests Island" ]" This is one of few remaining pine groves hereabouts and was bought some years ago by the State Park Commission for the purpose of de- velopment and use as part of the state park system. At the time of it's purchase it was stated that even tuaIly the property would be improy- ed so that t could be reached from the highway lnading south from the business center to the Putnam Coun- try Club.
 The name Priests Island" was given this grove because for many years the property was owned by St. Mary's parish. It was often used by members of the parish for picnics and outings. In former days there was ferry across the river from a point just south of the old fair grounds. This was nothing more than a fiat bottom raft that could be pulled by hand back and forth across the stream by a wire cable attachment. The old ferry remained in the water until it finally went to pieces. This was years ago. Since the ferry went out of operation the only means of reaching the grove has been by the way of the Little River bridge, past the home of c. NJ. Kent. under the long railroad bridge south of the city, and continuing southeast by cart path to the Island" As matter of fact the grove is on point; is really peninsula It may be that when the river Is unusually high 1t is surrounded by water but in reality it is more of peninsula than an island.
 Sold Fifty Years Ago
 Years ago the parish property was sold to R. H. Bradley, who in turn sold it to the state. The Quine- baug sweeps about the grove in a graceful curve from the northwest end of the island" around the east end, and flows a bit southwest. and then continues due south toward 
 If the state park department i'm proves this grove it will be one of the finest resorts near Putnam. Unless the bridge rumored to be built E built the park will not be easy Of access to those who have to walk. for it is q considerable distance as it is now reached. around by the way of pomfret street.

q javalina hog, or probably a wildcat
chained to it, a goat in the yard, and
a small cactus bush beside ii, OF
some other typical Valley plant.
On the other side will be a modern
bungalow, similar in design TO some
Of the beautiful homes that are De-
ing erected in the Valley. Beside il

parts Of the country the message OF
this section. The songs are to be
mailed 10 the home address OF those
