As News Butcher
 on Railway Train
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 He was quite boy then. Of course, he didn't live here in New Haven home was up around Port Huron, as I recall - but we local lads knew him well, and more than once we ganged up on him in fight over who was going to sell apples when the train stopped here" Lennon said.
 You see, he was the butcher on the train, but when the old com bination - it carried freight, and maybe livestock, as well as pas sengers - stopped we home boys here would try to sell apples. Ed son figured it was his territory"
 Lennon, still active and in good health, laughed when asked about the boys ganging young Edison.
 Well, now, 1t wasn't exactly a gang fight" he explained. You see, Al was what you would call a pretty good fellcw in those days, and he could handle most of us had to get him by force of num- bers.
 However, it wasn't all right and scramble when the combination would pull in. Fact is, we all got along pretty well with Al, and there were times we'd declare a sort of truce. You see, he was right interested in learning to be a telegrapher. In fact, he seemed all wrapped up in the idea then. So in times of the truce he'd hop off the train here and go into the station to practice on the opera tors key while the boys sold their apples"
 Lennon didn't know much about young Edison's experiments with chemicals, which he carried on in a corner of the baggage car, or of the little paper he published, which he called the Grand Trunk Herald.
 "No, now, I never knew person. ally about that little newspaper, but I heard he printed it with items taken from the city papers, and on a little press of his own," Lennon explained. We missed Al from the train one day. There was a new news butcher, and we heard he had a kind of an acci- dent.
 Seems he was working with some chemicals or something in that little train workshop of his when there was an explosion and a small fire started. It was right where they carried the mail, and it angered the conductor so he slapped young Edison pretty hard and then put him and his belong ings off the train at Smiths Creek, up in St. Clair county. They say those slaps were responsible for his poor hearing later. Odd, too, that the conductor was so rough, for everyone liked AL"
 Lennon said he never saw Edi- son after his butchering days end ed so abruptly.
 But hear he got on at Mt. Clemens as @ telegrapher for the Grand Trunk. He got the chance with the road when he snatched a child from in front of an engine. saving its life. He didn't stay there long, though. going east to Boston, where he went to work for the old Gold and Stock Tele- graph Company.
 "I kind wanted to see him when he came to Detroit two years ago, but didn't get about to 1t. Henry Ford, though. has asked me to come down to his Greenfield Village, and tell him what I know about Edison, and see the Old Smiths Creek station which IS there now, so I guess I'll do that opa of these days"

 Kresel also faces a perjury in dictment growing out of testimony at the bank trials at which he was not a defendant.

 per were elevated to a new sphere. treated with as much respect as thought they were a visiting re- gent or monarch.
 The same kind of treatment and respect will be offered Mir and Mrs Waterbury Shopper on next Thurs day. The business leaders of Wa terbury depend on the shoppers of Waterbury and they rely on their sound business judgment in selec- tion of articles for Waterbury purchasers. There have been other days in which merchants and busi- nessmen of various stores in the city cooperated in a special sales event but none of those events will ever compare to the Waterbury Day" that is to be held on next Thursday. Walter Winchell, col umnist in the New York Daily Mirror referred to the day held in Buffalo recently and stated that five million people viisted the stores in that New York city. Wa terbury merchants and business leaders do not expect five million people in their stores on next Thursday but they point out if five million visited Buffalo stores that at least 50,000 should come to Waterbury for the big day.
 The committees in charge of Thursdays Big Bargain Day of the Big Bargain Year" are working earnestly together to make this red-letter day in Waterbury's shop ping history. The men who form the membership of the committees are taken from every type of life in the city. Similar committees have ben appointed before when aid was neded to put over some- thing big. These men have never failed before. They are doing their part just as hard in this event as in any project ever before completed in the city. All they ask in return is cooperation from the people of the city to make ''Waterbury Day" this year as big and even betetr than the events held in other cities of the state. Waterbury was never lacking in support of any project in the past, The committee members state, and 1t is certain that they are not go- fng to start now.
 Remember the date, Next Thurs Hay, the 22d, "Waterbury Day. SThe Big Bargain Day of the Big Bargain Year"-When Mir and Mrs Shopper and MT Dollar Bill are king for day!

sorbed his last years and usually he would wear a sunflower in his lapel saying it contained rubber.
 Under Edison's system he alone knew the history of every golden rod stalk and the experimental plants were grown under the guid- ance of technical experts acting on his instructions. At present they do not know the exact status of the experiments which Edison an independent rubber producer.
 Edison lived here on a 16-acre estate overgrown with rare tropi- cal trees and plants. He was a familiar sight on the stretes of the town always driving a Ford with brightly furnished radiator. The car was presented to him in 1912 by Henry Ford who has an adja- cent estate. Edison loved to swap jests with Ford and once predicted the automobile magnate would live long time because he was skinny.
 Anecdotes of the inventors life have become a tradition here. One concerns his fondness for practical jokes. Edison never displayed toward newspapermen the warmth with which he greeted cameramen, although he would answer all ques- tions. Once he invited a New York reported to a meal at which the piece de resistance was a leather belt cooked by Edison and served as a choice morsel of native beef.
 He refused to abide by diets mapped out by physicians because of his ulcers and would prescribe his own meals. For years he ap- peared at banquets with a bottle of milk and would drink nothing else. His favorite dish was straw berries but this was refused him by Mrs Edison because of his in- digestion regardless of his many pleas for "just a few"
 He was given the meditation and would fish along the Calooahatchee river using no hook so that pos- sible nibbles would not disturb his chain of thought. Usually he wuold smoke black cigars or chew tobacco. He destested cigarettes and alcoholic, beverages. He was staunch supporter of President Hoover saying the American peO- pie would be "darn fools" not to have elected him.
 He liked moving pictures--Clara Bow was his favorite--and automo- bile rides Into the Everglades. He was always accessible to friends.

Vaulted Ceiling of Church Gift
 From Edison

Tifin, O., Oct 19-(UP)--In the vaulted ceiling of St Paul's Meth odist Episcopal church here is a reminder of Edison's pride in the incandescent electric light. It is an ornate chandelier, resembling a huge spider. In it are sixty elec- tric bulbs.
 Edison made the church a gift of the chandelier in 1885 on the church's completion because it was the first public edifice in Ohio lighted electrically.

The Rising Tide Of Socialism in
the Soviet Union

The Right opportuniStic element (the Buk-
harm group made its appearance during this
difficult and critical period in the development
of the U.SSR. which took place during the in
itial stage of the reconstruction period at the
moment when the capitalist elements modified
all their forces for the bitterest resistance to the
work of socialist construction by the ALI Union
Communist Party. These Right opportunist ele-
melts considered that the contemplated tempo
of socialist characterization went beyond the re-
sources of the Soviet Union. They failed to I'M
derstand the program of the socialist reconstruc-
ton of the village. They charted their course
by the r..vate sector in agriculture They were
afraid to start quarrel with the kulak In the
final analysis they were trying to force the ALI
Union Communist Party to reduce the tempo
of socialist industrialization and make it follow
course leading to The capitalist development of
the village; ie., a course of capitulation to the
capitalist elements of the country. The Right
opportunist elements prophesed that the con-
templaed tempo of socialist industrialization and
