'BElDEN DESCRIBES
 CHAMBERS WORK
Tells Directors About Swift lnd
 Wlrt RiIaS

Hartford. Jan. :y R1The ground work on which the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce is working in cooperation with the state Of Con- necticut to prevent diversion of waters tributary to the Connecticut river in Massachusetts. was described by Clark Belden, executive vice. president to the board of directors this afternoon. The meeting fol- lowed a luncheon at Hotel Bond.
 The diversion Of the Swift and Ware rivers in Massachusetts is commonly referred to as the Boston Metropolitan water supply project.
 Benedict M. Holden, chief coun- sel for the state in various negotia- tions which are in progress. also spoke to the directors. He said in part: ''The aggressive action of the Metropolitan water commission of Boston threatens the health of a large section Of Connecticut and will undoubtedly menace the important avenue of transportation afforded to Connecticut business men via the Connecticut river. This matter is of primary importance to the state. and state chamber directors should be fully informed.
 Failure to take an active interest in this matter at the present time may result in Massa chusetts obtain ing advantages which will bring great injury to Connecticut"
 MT. Belden's resume went back as far as May 25. 1929 when. at an an- nual meeting. resolution was adopted protesting against water di- version which was then seen to be a, problem of the immediate future. At the annual meeting of the cham Der held in Bridgeport in May, 1924. Governor Templeton was called upon by resolution to have the attorney general ascertain Connecticut's $ rights. President Rullard appoint ed Secretary Chandler to attend a conference in Springfield. In De- cember, 1925. Mir. Chandler wrote to Governor Trumbull outlining the action taken at annual meetings of the Chamber of Commerce and reling developments in the diver- sion controversy.
 On January 15. 1926. Edward L.. Kelly. the governors executive sec- retary wrote Mir. Chandler to the ef- feet that the governor had asked the attorney general for an opinion as to Connecticut's rights in the situation. The state chamber was commended for taking the lead in protesting the diversion.
 Mir. Belden then further reviewed in detail his own actions. he having followed Mir. Chandler as secretary.
 This consisted in part of keeping the governor informed of the cham Der activities and it's correspondence with other interests which were having a part in the controversy.

 Colonel Lindbergh and conspcuously gall lant of the air who have achieved so nobly in this department of adventure, claim exclusive monopoly of glory in this respect. Indeed. they would be the first to concede that this is Chivalry is the fundamental charac- teristie of the truly brave and worthy.
 Therefore it is but natural that Americans should greatly admire and honor and make royalty welcome those splendid knights of the air, Costes and Lebrix, who just have concluded an aerial voyage which rebounds to their credit and to that of their nation as of the greatest that has been accomplished
 These men fulfilled the dream of Nungesser and Coli. In four months and day they traversed Europe Africa. the South Atlantic and South and North America. This great effort, per haps. has not received the notice which it de- served But it is not too late for this country to tender to these the acclaim which is their due
 These aviators faced every hazard of aerial flight. They accomplished nonstop flight from Paris to St. Louis, on the African eoast-a dis tance Of 2,700 milesin record time. They crossed the South Atlantic, covering 2000 miles. From the Argentine they sailed above the mighty Andes. All the way through South America they looked down upon mountain jungle, track less forest, desert wastes
 These fiers akin with their American compeers On their breasts they should wear the stars and orders awarded to earths most adven- turous

Americans Going to Canada?
(Prince Rupert News )

For number of years Canadians have been leaving the country and going to live in the States. Now we are to change and Ameri- cans have begun to invade Canada and Canadians to return.
 Attempts have been made at various times to manufacture political capital over the exodus rom this country As matter of fact it was the fault of no party or group but simply one or those movements which follow periods of prosperity. The tide has set toward Canada just now and we must make the most of it while it is that way for after period of years it will again turn. Owing to the immense development Tn progress in this country the change is not likely to come for time. This is to be canadas century and we shall see great growth here before long.
 What we have to do is to try to keep Prince hupert In line with development and to see that we share in the progress which is due in other parts of the country

VERMONT FOR COOLIDGE.

The announcement of Senator Dale that Yer mont will stand solidly behind her favorte son. notwithstanding that he has repeatedly said that he will not be candidate, and send delega- tion to Kansas City instructed to vote for the renomination of President Coolidge will strike sympathetic chord throughout the country. Presi- dent Coolidge is typical product of the old Green Mountain State and his administration has ex- empifed it's best traditions. As cool and stable as Vermont's mountains. he has had a cooling and stabilizing effect the country. During his incumbency of the White House the people have taken a good deal of the Vermont view point. They have become less excitable and are not so prone to cultivate discontent. They are willing that capital might fair return They have not been inclined to howl lamenta- tions when a corporation declares a reasonable dividend. In fact they have to regard the announcement that industry or transporta- tion company or other concern, large or small has been successful and made good profit in its operations as good thing-a sign of further progress and greater prosperity for everybody.
 Vermont has a right to take some pride in her contribution to the country, for it needed very greatly calm period It has had it, and the calm President helped immensely in making it. There can be reasonable objection from any source in Vermont's exhibiting her pride by voting for third term for her favorite son.

Electric Service and Rural Life.
Everett. Wash, News.


 Power is taking to the farm the conveniences that in cities have been lure to ruraties.
 The thing than any other that is going to check the big city from growing is power transmission. At least thinks Alexander Dow, President of the Detroit Edison Company.
 Through power transmission the working mans dream of home in the country with a garden, chickens, and plenty of fresh air for the children is rapidly becoming possible.
 'As power transmission develops says MT. Dow the small manufacturer and large in dustries will carry their factories and business to the source of production to the cheapest land. This means the workngman will follow his work to the smaller villages, where it will be possible for him to enjoy the things denied him in a con- gested city"
 Furthermore, power transmission will do much to stabilize farm life and thus to check the abandonment of the farms for the Vaccinations of the cities.
 Communities that almost totally isolated 10 years ago now have every modern electrical convenience, and the end of scientific marvels is not yet, but rather have such marvels just begun.

TRYING TO BROW-BEAT THE SOUTH.

large proportion of the Methodist and Bap- tist preachers of the South including Bishops and everyday ministers have set out to brow-beat Southern Democrats into opposing Gov. Smith for the Presidential nomination. They are not only threatening the party with defeat in case the New York Governor should be nominated, but they have declared amending warfare on all those who do not bow to their dictation. They insist that everything including other issues, convictions principle and the character of public officials-must be subordinated to the Prohibition issue. They march hand-in-hand with sheeted and hooded Ku Klux Klan outlaws. They are willing to nullfy every law of the land except the one law they think it sin and tratorious to outlaw, in order to win.
 These ministers, whether they know it or not, are riding for fall They are doing more to hurt their church than they for any cause they espouse. There too many colleges in the South, too much intelligence, too much free
