CORN BAN BOOSTS
 POTATO PLANTING Acreage in Berlin Increased by
 Government Order FARMERS CHANCE CROPS
East Berlinites keenly Interested In Proposed New Britain Middle town Bus Line-Soft Ball League Plays Two Games.

Berlin and Kensington farmers are keeping in step with the times and the reported increase in potato acreage throughout New England IS materially aided by the additional cultivation of this product in and around this section.
 A check up of the situation and he reasons for the increase brought
 h no specific answer from local
 ners. Several of the larger rket gardeners in this section
 ltured the thought that the ban at has been placed on corn, be- ause of it's infestation by the Ell ropean borer which has limited the market On this product, has been the reason for the increase in pota- to acreage insofar as many farm CTS have transferred their energies from the less profitable raising of corn and have put the ground un- der potatoes in the hope of retriev- ing some of the loss that will be the result Of any such curtailment Of the sale of their products,
 Dairy farmers of this section claim that they have not noted any such appreciable falling off in their production of milk as has been re- ported by farmers throughout Con- necticut.
 Bus Hearing Void of Result
 The hearing before the public utilities commission relative to the inauguration of bus service between the towns of New Britain and Mid dletown resulted in no action being taken. The meeting was held in Hartford yesterday afternoon and the matter was laid over for fur ther consideration between the Of fcials of the New England Trans portation Go. and the officials of the cities interested.
 Berlin and East Berlin residents are interested in this matter inso- far as it will speed Up the service between these places and New Brit ain and Middletown.
 Berlin now has a regular service to New Britain on the Connecticut Go. buses but there are many in the eastern section of the town who feel that this service should be ex- tended 10 their district

A Moment of Heroism

An stalled on a railroad grade crossing
IN Louisiana recently. Down the track came a fast
train. The engineer, Leon Ford. saw the stalled auto
and knew that he would not be able to stop in time.
So he did some very quick and unselfish thinking.
When a locomotive, travelling at high speed, has to
be stopped in a hurry. the brakes must not be APP
piled too suddenly. II they are, the engine IS apt 70
leave the rails entirely and turn over.
Ford, as a veteran engineer. knew this perfectly.
SO. without hesitation, he iammed on his brakes.
The thing worked just as he had expected. His To-
connective jumped the tracks and careened over on its
side. Ford was killed. But the motorist escaped
alive.
1t is probable that almost any engineer would have
done the same thing. Railroad engineers are mem
bers Of that select band of men who have led the
public to expect them to be ready to sacrifice their
own lives to save Others. But you won't understand
Just how much credit this bit Of heroism reflects on
Leon Ford until you try to figure out whether you,
yourself. would have acted that way in his place.
Probably most Of us would like TO tell ourselves that
we would have been equally heroic. But the chances
are that We are only kidding ourselves. We would
have meant well: we would have taken a grip on our
nerves and done cur very best to steel ourselves for
the sacrifice. But-and here is the point-by the time
we could have made up our minds It would have been
too late.
Ford had to make his decision in the twinkling Of
an eye. In fact, he had TO make it automatically. IT
had to come out OF him without the necessity Of stop
ping to think Il over. He had. in short, to be the
kind Of man. right down to the bottom. to whom an
action Of self-sacrifice was instructive in a sudden
crisis.
That is the sort Of stuff that heroism really is. It
isn't anything that flowers Unexpectedly, without a
background. The engineer who dies to prevent a
wreck, the fireman who loses his life in a blazing
building trying to get some doomed inmate out, the
policeman who coolly shoots it out with a gunman
and goes down with a bullet in his heart-these men
do not suddenly become heroes. There were heroes.
all the while. The moment Of crisis simply brought
il out.
And that. in turn. is why our instinct to pay high
honors to these men is a sound one. The quick mo-
ment Of bravery and s~elfless courage-that IS moth
inging. The disciplined. steadfast life that made that
moments bravery inevitable-that Is everything.

Foiling the Racketeer

One way to foil the racketeer, evidently, is to re-
fuse TO be afraid of him. Two tough guys from
Detroit dropped down to Cleveland the other day,
looking for a little easy money. They looked up a
weu-to-do merchant. found that he had a 6-year-old
son. and proceeded to call the merchant up by tele-
phone. Unless he paid them $4,000, they said, they
would kidnap his son and bomb his store.
This scheme usually works. but this time It didn't.
Instead Of getting scared, the merchant called the
police. The two tough guys" were arrested within
IL hours. and now cells in Ohlos terrible penitentiary
are prepared for them.
The racketeer's method Of operation is chiefly bluff
If the bluff IS called promptly it is the ~racketeer that
gets into trouble, not the victim.

RALEIGH. ". C..-Religion is an
important factor in this years
North Carolina politics ana reli-
gious elements may be decisive in
both the senatorial primaries and
the election.
The Catholicism OF Al Smith and
John j. Raskob. which was import
ant in 1923. is not playing such a
direct part in the Democratic
primary contest between Senator
simmons and Josiah William Bailey.
Nevertheless, it is being used to
some extent against Bailey under
the surface.
Simmons is relying on q heavy
church vote to save his political
skin. His people have been point
ing out to the preachers OF the
state that the senator was loyal
to the Protestant prohibition cause
in 1923 when it required the utmost
bravery and that a man shouldn't
be defeated for that.
Both Are Very Dry
Bailey's record as a lifelong
active Baptist, on the other hand,
Is being emphasized by the anti
Simmons faction. Bailey followers
and Simmons followers. alike, are
making desperate efforts to con-
vince the church people that their
man has the best prohibition
record.
