A Book a Day
The Dawn of a New Epoch
by BRUCE CATION


 A new kind of civilization Is at hand in the world: It is a product of the machine age, and although it's approach fills the high-brows with terror 1t will probably turn out to be 9 very good thing.
 So says C. Delisle Burns in Leisure in the Modern World" an Illuminating and stimulating dis cussion of new trends in present. day life.
 In the past. says MT Burns. every civilization was mainly the product of small leisure class which was the undisputed top-dog in it's social set-up. The leisure class had to be supported by a great mass of slaves-actua1 slaves, in ancient Greece and Rome, serfs in the middle ages, wage slaves and helpless peasants in more modern times.
 Now, however, machinery has changed everything. The erstwhile slaves have been set free. The world can get it's work done now without requiring more than a few hours work day from its hum- blest servant. The ordinary man IldS q lelSuFc tudL uc ilcfci udu oS- fore. and he will have more of 1t as the years pass.
 And 1t will be this spare time. rather than his job, that sets the key for his life. Out of this univcr- ally-shaped leisure is emarging a new civilization. The importance of the old leisure class is ended. We shall become more and more democratic, and as we do we must find more satisfying and worth while types of recreation:. and in all of this there are magnificent possibilities for the -entire human race.

Washington-The marching far mers, who were greeted amiabiy when they came to make their de- mands here, seemed more revolu- tionary that the harassed. baited hunger marchers who preceded them.
 Their Farmers National Relief conference represented a militant radical group on the farms which abandons the leadership of the old large national farmer organizations demands immediate emergency re- lief and is often not afraid to in. tefere with the due processes of law to save a farmer his farm.
 The hunger marchers made mild demands for unemployment insur- ance and cash relief, but the credit system and operation of the gov ernment itself when they de- manded a moratorium or cessa- ton ndebts, taxes, mortgages foreclosures, tax sales and evic- tions.
 The farmers shouted their sym- pathy for the hunger marches or several occasions and cheered speakers from among their owr ranks who told them that union of the working class, on the farms and in the cities, could rule the world. The frequency with which they used the terminology and tactics of the radical labor ele- ment in the cities and of the hun ger marchers was rather startling
 But these were genuine farm CTS, with a high percentage of Americanism among them. They wore few white collars. but near ly all had slaves and recetn hair cuts and many wore their best clothes. Rugged. outdoor types were the rule. They leaned for ward eagerly to hear their speak CTS.
 They were also distinguishable from the hunger marches in that they were well fed.
 !. "We eat aur best chickens and eggs and vegetables now" said a woman off a New Hampshire farm. Because we can't sell 'em. Be- ing Yankees, we always used to sell our best stuff and eat the poorest"
 Also, these farmers were prop erty owners, with farms to lose The other marchers had nothing to lose but their lives and their appetites.
 Nevertheless. the parallel be- tween the two movements was in- escapable. Tn Q tiny minority like the radical labor group, this crowd of delegates was urging farmers to repudiate the present farm organization leaders just as the other radicals desire and op- pose the A. F. of l..
 The communist effort for "solid- arity of the white and negro work CTS" was reflected in references to this movement of white and negro farmers" A colored farmer sat on the platform and couple of them spoke. There were attacks on the profit system as the cause of un-

A SHAMEFUL UTTERANcE
(Hartford Courant)

Hundreds of thousansd of Pro- testants in the United States must have experienced a feeling of anger mingled with shame as they read the statement of Bishop James Cannon, Jr. of the Methodist Epis- copal church, South, on the inl- pending vote in congress on the repeal of the 18th amendment. The arrant bigotry that ran through it they do not share in the least de- gree. and they can only blush that a great church expounding their belief chooses to maintain in high post q man so obviously ridden by the intolerance of past centuries. The sp1eenful manner in which the bishop identifies the Roman Ca- tholic church with the cause of repeal goes far to uphold the as- sertions of Alfred F. Smith in his speech at Newark that he was op- posed for the presidency by the po- litical clerics, whom the bishop represents. not because of his stand on prohibition but on account of his faith. From his own mouth, and to his own shame, the bishop has given proof of the spirit that dominated him during the cam paign of 1923.
 The implication of the bishop that the Roman Catholic church; Is the prime agency in the movc- ment for repeal has not an iota of support. Hundreds of citizens of all faiths who have labored to- gether for repeal solely in the in- terest of sound government repudi- atc scornfully the insiDuation that abolition of the 18th amendment is q sectarian undertaking. Not re- ligious faith, but good citizenship brought them together and while Roman Catholics have actively par ticipated in the movement, they have done go only in the role of citizens interested fin the welfare of the nation. Indeed. the leader ship in the undertaking has chanced to fall to persons largely of other faiths. A mere glance at the lists of the officials of the various agencies that have been most active in urging repeal dis closes that the leaders of the movement for repeal for the most part are not of the faith that Bishop Cannon SO meanly slurs. but of the faith that he presumes to represent. Furthermore, the re- beliion against prohibition in the latest election was not confined to sections in which Roman Catho- lies are most numerous. On the contrary, 1t was most emphatic in the sections of the nation where they are least influential-in North Dakota, where the citizens struck prohibition from the constitution of the state. in Wyoming. where they memoraiized congress for repeal by q striking majority, in Oregon. where they repealed the local en- forcement laws, in Colorado. In Washington and in Michigan, where similar action was taken. If the bishop were not already dijcredited in the eyes of uppre-

ACTION ON SHERWOOD ISLAND
(Hartford Courant)

(HartfOrd COurant)
 By all means let the general as- sembly take action on Sherwood Island. The protest voiced by the Westport Chamber of Commerce at a recent lively meeting is justified at least in this, that the uncertain ty now surrounding the question of the full development of the beach property bought by the state al- most twenty years ago to give the people of Fairfield county q public resort on the shore Is unfair and injurious to the property owners of the neighborhood. There should no longer be allowed any question but that the island Is to be made into q recreation center comparable to Hammonasset Beach where thous- ands, even tens of thousands, are able to enjoy themselves on every pleasant summer day.
 The Westport Chamber of Com merce puts itself on record as ob- jecting to the plan and suggests that Stratford is much more ap- VLVRAAatGs odt 0AA1CQ AAt0hJ oaA veys of the shore have been made and the verdict has fallen almost invariably upon the site bought as its first investment by the State Park and Forest commissioners in 1914, 1t seems foolish not to face the facts of the case and acknowl- edge force of circumstance and popular demand. A minority in the Chamber sees this and asks only that the state go ahead with it's development on a large scale. The spending of the money necessary to give maximum use to the park would without doubt be a boom to many residents of Westport.
 Unfortunately, the necessity for economy to balance the state bud- get may not make this feasible, but at least definite action can be talk en which will convince the people of Westport that the park will be fully developed in the near future. For that purpose. further expaf1- sion should be voted by the assem- bly,, the extent to be governed, by balancing necessary economy against present low real estate values, labor costs and the need of the people for free facilities for exercise and health-buiiding rc- creation.

To-day's Selected Poem,
HosIING
(By Helen welshimer)

(By Helen Welshimer) They who know adventure,
 Green stars, ships, wine seas, Have they been heart-hungry, For such things as these: One house, small and laughing. Halfway down q hill, Fire bright In the gloaming- Women always will Want a twilight shelter.
 And one man who comes Homeward, never needing
 Fanfare and the drums. There are many Heavens
 I've known one or two, I've been up a spring road
 When the world was new. And I've learned that gypsies, Whose paths 70 astray Under fiame-red slippers
 Through the vagrant day. Never stroll in darknesD--
 Always with the night. They go seeking shelter,
 Love and candlelight.

Ludlow, Mass, is trying out the "stagger system" of employment, hoping that it will provide employment for everybody on the welfare department list. That idea is sound wherever practiced. We even have it here in Waterbury, although it probably isn't called such. Teachers in our night school work in this way, the authorities trying to give everybody chance to earn some money. That's as it should be.

Finis Ordered For
Doc Hamilton's Resort

What may prove to be TAPS" for
Doc Hamilton's Barbecue Pit was
sounded Monday when after a hear
ing in Federal Court JUDGE Cushman
ordered the place padloeked and gave
Hamilton two weeks to move out his
equipment. The hearing and court
order came as a result of a second
raid by federal agents last month on
the night resort. A previous raid in
which liquor was alleged to have
been found resulted in the basement
being padlocked Since that time
business has continued on the upper
floors. Federal agents testified they
were attracted to the place by loud
singing and music and many cars
parked in front of the resort. Hamil-
ton testified the night of the raid
a quartet was rehearsing for ben
eft performance for the unemployed.
Daily newspapers reported Doc as
saying it was a colored choir. Had
they reported the singing coming
from chorus of white crap shooters
they would have been nearer the
truth.
