Choosing The Farm

During the years when the rural popula- ton was losing most of its young people to the cities. the bright lights" of the towns were as attractive as the supposed greater opportunity Today's rural young people. it is said. see the eitys bread lines casting dark shadows on those bright lights. With com siderable intelligence they weigh the advan- tages and disadvantages of the two modes of life. and more of them than for many years past find the balance tipping in favor of the farm.
 During the International Live Stock Ex- position in Chicago recently, boys and girls attending as All Club representatives ex- pressed this idea in various ways. In parade they carried banners saying. Eighty per cent of us intend to stay on the farm One of the youthful leaders of the group said, The farm is about as good as any thing right now. guess They know the long hours and hard work and low profits of farm life, but they know also the satis- factions and the fact that it is easier to get along without cash on the horne farm than Tn the city.
 What will this do to the surpluses of farm produce which have been SO hard to market in the last year or two? We'll, there will be more mouths at home on the farm to consume it. The young folks. too. may find new ways to diversity production and new uses for old crops. The same initiative and courage which used to send them forth to new scenes and new tasks in the cities may help them now to find new solutions to old problems in the coun- try.

What, Again?

We thought that the question of the avail ability of Sherwood Island State Park was
 well established last summer with the ae-
 quisition by the state of sufficient land to
 afford bathing facilities as well as free access to a certain amount of shore front. The state was supposed to have acquired lease on the necessary property for the above pur-
 pose. It also was given an option to pur-
 chase the same at what was considered a
 fairly reasonable figure. From infrequent reports most of us were led to believe that
 the state park enjoyed considerable patron
 age once it was made available.
 Now the Westport Chamber of Commerce
 has adopted resolutions calling upon the State Park and Forest Commission to give
 up it's plans to develop the Sherwood ls-
 land tract and to create new shore front park at some other point in Fairfield county
 preferably at Stratford. The main reason that the Westport civic body is now inter-
 esting itself in the dispute. so it claims. IS because Westport residents who own prop erty near or adjacent to the state park on
 Sherwood Island are complaining. They want to improve their property. but hesitate to proceed without knowing what the state intends to do.
 There is no question but what they have q legitimate complaint. So has everybody in the state for that matter The Sherwood Island project has been pretty nicely bungled. But if it has. it must be blamed entirely on politics The original purchase was made with the best of intentions. If it swasn't, we wouldn't have the extensive park and forest system today that we have. The land on Sherwood Island was the first bought for state park purposes That it was never converted into such or added to from time to time must be blamed perhaps on some of those nearby residents who are now awaiting for the state to act.
 s Opposition from the very beginning to s tle state park was from property owners < who feared that such public place would result in a decrease in their property valua- stion. Then politics was brought into the case. It's entrance nearly resulted in one of the most bare-faeed steals that was ever -broaehed in Connecticut. Fortunately pub slie opinion stepped in and broke up the zseheme. Perhaps now public opinion will step in once more and force the state to give up it's Sherwood Island plans entirely or .else put them through in jig time. Either alternative must be adopted within the com sing year.

Literature Prizes

There probably will be less argument about the choice of John Galsworthy as winner of the Nobel prize for literature than there was about the choice of Sinclair Lewis two years ago. Yet some of Gals worthys admirers may wonder why he was ehosen now rather than a few years ago when The Forsyte Saga was first pulp lished The terms of Alfred B. Nobels be- quest establishing the fund for prizes in physics. chemistry. medicine, literature and peace. specify that the awards should go to those who have contributed most to the benefit of mankind Tin the preceding year" Galsworthy readers say he has written noth- ing of equal importance since the Forsyte tale.
 The Swedish Academy of Literature should have our sympathy, however. Re- wards for literary achievement never can sat- isfy all critics and readers. The field is too large. and opinions and tastes vary too greatly. Also. few Americans keep up with contemporary European literature and know what foreign authors are doing. The liter ature prizes serve one useful purpose per haps not contemplated by Nobel himself. They focus the attention of readers in many nations upon the work of writers in other nations. A little something is learned in this way about the literature of other peoples.

Our Daily Washington Letter
WHAT IS A HUNGER MARCHER?
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

can stock among the large contin. gent of unemployed seamen and among the fellows from the north- western lumber camp region, but there are negroes from the south and many Central Europeans a. mong the delegates from New York, Chicago, Detroit and other industrial centers.
 Almost every one is delegate from an Unemployed Council or q Trade Union Unity league or some other left wing group.
 What does tho hunger marcher think? What does he want? Talk to him. Maybe he'll answer and maybe he won't. Usually he thinks newspaper men ar his enemies. If you talk to one of the leaders or sub-l0aders you are likely to find someone of above average 1n- telligence. Some narchers seem fanatical. others not very bright. others just ordinary ex-working- men convinced that the "class struggle" is their only hope. They all hate the police and know that the police hate them. They apply to the cops a resonant old Anglo Saxon word not ordinarily heard in mixed company and the cops apply the same term to the hunger inarchers.
 what They Want.
 Unemployment insurance and wnter relief at $50 cash for each unemployed worker. That's what they say they are here for; that's what they wanted to ask from congress. Everybody should have enough to eat and enough to wear, they say. Many well-dressed peo- pie in congress favor unemploy- ment insurance and oppose StarvA- ton. But there's Q great differ once in method.

 Washington--What Is Q hunger marcher? Whats he like? What doesh he think? What does he want? What's he doing here? How did he get that way? Who put him up to 1t?
 Try to find q true answer to those questions and you realize that the hunger marcher is D man nobody knows. You would be at least 90 per cent correct if you added that he is the man nobody wants to know.
 But in Washington you get to be an expert on hunger narchers be- cause this is where they come to present their petitions to the gov- ernment. Extended research and observation develops the following conslusions:
 The hunger marcher Is an un- employed person affiliated with the radical, militant wing of the so- called American labor movement. He represents 1t and is supported by 1t. When he--or she, as there arc always women among the marchers--pileS Into Q Washirlg- ton-bound truck, ho has tho sym pathy and backing of the Com munist party, the Unemployment Councils, the Trade Union league with it's many unions, tho Workers International Relief, the Interna- tional Labor Defense and the other relatively tiny units of the skele- ton network which Communists have erected to further their ulti- mate purpose--a classless workers society.
 Ono time in 10 you will find him. an actual members of the Communist party. Usually he k only well-informed advocate of Communist theory or ono who has ben able to grasp the rudimcnts of the theory of "mass action" and the "class struggie"--the al- legged eternal conflict between the employing class and the working class.
 Take n look at hunger marchers in the mass. In appearance they might be a large group of factory workers. but they are usually un- kempt after day or q week of truck riding and privation. Often they appear, to have been ill-fayor- ed in the first place, but there are some splendid physical specimens, male and female. Hardly any munger marchers' arc fat. though many seem healthy. Nearly all arc dressed roughly; many carry tat tered blankets. There is little op- portunity for cleanliness.
 He Meets Hunger.
 Many arc the distinctions the marcher doesn't share with the rest of us. TIe has no rights which law enforcement officials feel com peilcd to respect. He faces guns and riot gas and often will fight against hopeless odds. He knows he must travel with "stooi pigeons' who will betray him.. But he with- stands all sorts of privations, travels in hard. cramped, fright fully uncomfortable trucks and may sleep in these or on tho paye- mcnt. If he never knew hunger before he soon learns about 1t on q hunger march; food then is scarce and uncertain.
 The percentage of foreign stock among hunger marcherg ig very high. You'll find lot of Ameri-

We've heard of streams and ponds being polluted in many different ways. but never have we heard of wild fowl being blamed for such condition. Yet that is just what has happened in Barnstable. Mass Clear Lake is declared to be polluted because own CTS of a duck farm permitted their fowls to use the lake. It is estimated that the farm maintains about 12.000 birds. Perhaps that is too many for the lake. but it would all depend upon its size. we should think. We've never yet heard of lake being pol luted by ducks, but probably it's possible If so the courts will have to do the deeid- ing.

Calls For End
 Of War Debts
By BRUCE CATION

By BRUCE CATION
 The dearest and aanest discus sion of the whole problem of rep- arations and war debts yet made available is probably that con- Prosperity" by Harold c. Moul- ton and Leo Pasyolsky.
 Here you will find the entire business unfolded with the utmost clarity; and if you want to ap- proach this pending debt discus sions with an informed mind. you can hardly do better than to study this book.
 The authors point out. to begin with that a debtor nation can only pay what 1t owes out of q surplus of exports oyer imports. Germany, for instance, cannot pay repara- tions unless, in the long run, it sells to the Allied nations more than 1t buys from them; the Allies, in turn, cannot pay us tho war debts unless they sell to us more than they buy from us.
 But. as the authors put 1t, no creditor nation can be paid unless 1t, Is willing to be paid--unless It Is willing to buy more than t sells; and that is precisely what the creditor nations have not been willing to do. England and France have struggled to keep Germany from regaining her for eign markets; America has boosted It's tariff sky high.
 Then they come to their conclu- sions: first, that the creditor coun- tries would suffer if they collected what Is owed them; and second, that complete cancellation of debts and reparations would marvellous ly push world prosperity.

FATHER CRYNE
CIV Haven Journal courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 There was something in Father Cryne of the old friars who went into the highways and byways to bring the Message. Father Cryne was curatc of St Roses but the whole city was his pastorate and he attended to 1t with intimate personal supervision. Men of ath- letic leaning, firemen and police- men were his special interest; an athlete himself in his youth, he never lost his zeal for all games of prowess and his care for those who partook of them. The men of tho protective service shared his golicitude, doubtless because their work also makes demand on the high courage, physical agility and spiritual steadfastness to which Father cryne was devoted on the athletic field.
 The sense of drama instinctive among sportsmen was displayed in the toiling bell and the minute of silence at the Arena the night after Father Cryne died. It was q tribute the clergyman deserved. His work among men suspected of frivolity in things spiritual was of cndiess good: they learned much of the solemnitles of faith. the ethics of good sportsmanship. the whole lesson of what man is and how to achieve 1t through Father Cryne.

What Motorists Want

A straw vote of 5000 motorists on what they want in an automobile shows some Illuminating results. Nearly four-ffths of them in the price range from $400 10 $L- 900 say that they prefer fuel economy to speed. These economical drivers. mostly in the lower price levels. agree pretty well that 60 miles an hour for top speed is high enough. Those wanting the higher priced cars like little more speed; still, 60 per cent of them vote for mileage per gallon rather than mileage per hour. Little atten- ton was paid. by the voters. to the various gadgets which manufacturers and salesmen usually regard as such important factors in competition.
 This vote shows more level-headedness in motorists than they have been credited with. As matter of fact GO miles an hour is probably enough for any car used for general driving on present roads. and t might be good thing if there were pro- hibition against putting more than enough power into motor to produce that speed under average conditions. As for voluntary design on the part of manufacturers, here is strong hint in favor of more efficient engines and lighter bodies, or both, to save gasoline cost.

 Few of tho folks in New Eng land who Only two or three weeks ago looked askare at Speaker Garner can legitimately have~any fault to find with his sterling ad- vocacy of repeal action at the present congress. The speaker. concluding tho democratic platform meant what 1t said. went right to work on the subject by dint Q { rather thorough-going control over tho house forced the vote on repeal at the very opening of cons greBs. <.
 It was not the speakers fault that not quito enough vets mus tered behind the repeal resolution. He realized the need of early ac. ton If the legislatures to meet in January werc to have an oppor- tunity to ratify tho resolution.

publican opponent In the election will be his state treasurer, the man who is now acting governor will be his secretary of state, and he him. self will be serving out the term of the man who defeated him for the governorship in 1880.
 It all sounds very complicated. But the solution is not difficult. Two years ago Mir Miller was de- feated by Republican Frank c. Emerson. who died in office. since Wyoming does not indulge in Lieu- tenant Governors, the secretary of state succeeded as acting governor. According to the state law . new governor must be elected at the next general election. Mir Miller ran once more, was opposed by tho state treasurer, but shared in the universal democratic victory. His opponent and the acting governor naturally revert to their regular poeitjons.

Will It Work?

Old timers are beginning to wonder as slegalzed wines and beers come nearer to actuality if that is just what the nation wants They point to the fact that today sin this nation illicit sales of illegal beverages -show a decided trend towards whiskey and gin with beer probably ranking next and 7 wines and cordals lower down on the popularity list. The modern drinkers are sScomposed of good many of the old timers. but majority of them are people who had never bent an elbow before prohibition ar rived. In addition the younger generation has swelled this total to an astounding 4figure.
 What would we do if tomorrow there was made available for our appetites an in- exhaustlble supply of wines and beers. How < many among US know the values and virtues ssof the many wines that are made How many Mof us know anything at all about the time ' and place for their consumption' We pride ourselves on our ability to consume large quantities of liquor at almost any time and under any circumstances But that 2 would never do in the case of bottle of wine. Don't confuse our use of the term wine with the more familiar home made variety which we either like very much or dislike heartily.
 Wines are red or white dry or sweet. If we were connnoisseur we might speak with some authority, but what we have to say is merely hearsay and may be questioned al any point or time We merely quote one Frank W. Miller of Chicago who claims that modern Americans are today wine ignorant. He elassfies wines something like this: Dry white wines containing 1 l to I2 per cent alcohol - Rhine. Riesling and Moselle; semi-swect white. Souterne F 10 l4 per cent; sweet white. Museatel, s IS to 20 per cent; Tokay. 8 to 20, and Sherry. IS to 22. Red wines dry, Claret and ZinfandeI. l2 per cent; semi-sweet Burgundy. l2 to 15; sweet Madeira and Port. IS to 22 per cent"
 Just to make few more mouths water. we'll add few more Miller briefs. He says Then. there are the sparkling wines. champagne and sparkling Burgundy. which are usually dry and contain 1 to 12 per cent alcohol" Mr Miller further ayers that few families would know how to serve complete wine course in their homes today if they were forced to do SO. Therefore he outlines one somtehfng like this: Appetizer. Riesling (dry); soup, Moselle (dry); Salad. Sauterne (semi-sweet); Fowl. Burgundy (semi- -sweet) dessert. Sherry (sweet); coffee. Champagne (swset). All of which is moi onlv inteYestinc but thirst uroducing. If friends of Mf Miller and his ilk can't

Hunting deer in Connecticut with the aid of powerful rifles and flashlights is still a popular pastime Three men were recently arrested in Westbrook by game wardens for this oTense. When cought they were carry ing both lights and guns. It was the fash ing lights and shots that first attracted the wardens' attention. The men were engaged in the gentle art of eer-jaeking." It is a form of sport that has been followed by law abiding citizens for some few years now. The deer are attracted by the lights. When the full glare falls upon them they usually stand motionless long enough to permit these big-game hunters to shoot them down in their tracks. We know that men who engage in such traffic as this aren't really hunters at heart. They must be butch CTS For if our wild animals aren't entitled to a chance for their lives at the hands Of hunters then where is the sport in killing them. We might suggest that it would be much easier to shoot down the cows in the meadows And the beef would be far tast- fer than the venison. Of course. there would be the reeompense for the outraged cattle owner but what about the state. It owns the deer. And the state is made up of you and me and every other taxpayer.
