| He says: Can you spare one
hour a day2 Let me have seven
hours a week and I will make a
scholar and philosopher out of you.
In four years you shall be better
educated than any new-f1edged Doc

He calls his list THE Road to
Freedom" and we think, if one
must go in for lists and really hasn't
the time for the gentle browsing
about that is healing and adventure
both to the harried soul of modern
ity, it is the best list we have ever
seen.
He lists his books in twelve his
torically chronological groups.
Twenty-seven of the books, he
thinks, everyone should own in their
own personal library. The cost of
these books is 500. All of the others
can be gotten at the public library.
We list here only twenty-seven

Nellie R. has this touching little

'T am a book good and clean

And those who handle me with care
VIII never need to BE aware
For o ether r f sdSoo VIZ IL ind me there.
I hope you have read me through and

And little Blanche Lloyd Reed
writes:
IF we're a book
I would feel very proud
OF the wisdom and glee

TWO succinct book reviews,
Il written respectively by Mary
Johnston and Richard Stafford, are
concise and very much to the point.
Mary says of 1.-The Irish Fairy
Book" "This is a delightful book
that captures me and takes me to
fairyland; there I stay till the book
is finished"
Richard Stafford characterizes
Ernest Thompson Seton's "Story of
a Grizzly Bear" thus: ut is story
of a grizzly bear from baby to
death, and Of his sorry adventures"
Isn't the adjective poignant?
Clemenceau's book, I'm the Eve
ming of My Thought" it is reported,
is on the verge of having publica-
ton suspended due to the severity
of some of the old Tigers criticisms
directed at his contemporaries, es-
pecially Marshall Foch. Completely
fearless in life, his pen retains
caustic vitality in death. And there
are many of his friends who wish
that his memories could be eXpur-
gated before further publication.
The difficulty is that his publish
ers had already paid him part of
the amount due him for his work
before his death. This money now
is in the hands of his heirs and
executors. If the book now is with
drawn or in any way tempered
with, this money would have to be-
returned to the publishers, involv-
ing all kinds of legal difficulties.
These -looked-for volumes,
I'm the Evening of My Thought"
are now on the library shelves in
their unaltered condition. There
also is copy of the original French,

Chief Belden Believes He Has Only Copy - Will Celebrate 34th Anniver- sary On Force Next Month.
I Srecial to the llcrald)


 Bristol, Dee. 2U--Chief Ernest T. Bclden of tho local police depart mcnt will celebrate his 34th ami vcrsary as Wearer of the blue i'll Bristol on January [, 1930. The chief was appointed to the super numcrary force of the department on January !. 1896. and has been in service ever since.
 An extract from the Bristol Fire manual, printed in 1912 and writ ten by Chief Belden. entitled sketch of the Bristol Police De- partmcnt," gives vivid explanation of appointments and happenings since the organization of the depart ment. A committee consisting Of BurgeSses William $, lngraham, |. $. Hull and w. l.. Sessions was appointed by borough board 70 investigate the need of q police force in Bristol and not long after ward recommended that one be es tabliShcd and that Howard G. Arms be appointed chief with two patrol men for nights and a special officer for duty on Sundays. The force started out with MT Arms as chief

highest office and Patrolman Gu ckin was made captain. Both have held these posts to this day. Other incidents related concerned the ap- pointment of Daniel McGillicuddy and Aldie Breault to the supernu- merary force on August $, 1907. The chief, in 1907. had been the regular day officer. and the necessity of his presence at sessions of police court prompted the board to assign an of- ticer to the day job.
 The book contained other inter- lowing: During the , years that Chief Arms was in charge the Br.s- tol police force was known through out the state for it's efficiency and thoroughness in handling the crim- inal class, and under the careful guidance of Chief Belden it has added to that reputation The book tells of a night in 1895 when 30 persons were captured and fined for being at cock fight at the Berg place on Terryville road.
 Chief Bclden believes that he is the owner of the only copy of the book which contains the history of the Bell City department.
 Still Efficient
 The Bristol police department still holds it's reputation for being one Of the most efficient in the state. It is seldom that a criminal escapes from the clutches of the local force. The Bristol forces captured the Plantsville bank robbers and, rc- gently, the Janicks, George t'iske, and Bredefeld and krappatsch. wanted for series of robberies Arrests and convictions are usually effected after each offense. The To- cal liquor squad has assisted in the cleansing of the city of intoXicants. All in all, the regime of Chief Belden has been a successful one. | The chief is a person who has grown up with the city and has helped keep it safe. It is expected that a great many persons will visit the Bristol headquarters on January

 The b" ok reads, "The patrolmen were paid salaries but the chiefs remuneration consisted of use of the rooms to carry on his crayon portrait business and the fees re- ccived from arrests made by off ccrs" It goes on to say.
