Byrd, like Hagen. had q nard de-

Where VIII This Boom Lead?

The underestimate movement TO secure
the democratic presidential nomination fot
Melvin A. Traylor, president OF the FIRST
National Bank of Chicago, is apt to have
more reaching effects than even its most
sympathetic supporters imagine, While Mr.
I Taylor is practically unknown as political
factor in his party, he can take his stand
alongside of John j. Raskob, national chair
man of the party, as financial genius. AND
from now until next November MIR Traylor
will probably be more or less actively con-
ccrned in the financial management OF the
party.
His status in the financial world OF the
nation is so secure that he need have no
worries for the future. Furthermore, he is
the type of man to whom others come tor
advise. And that he can give it wisely is
proved by the fact that he arrived at the
prominent position he now holds by his
own efforts. He certainly pulled himself up
by his bootstraps if any man ever did. All
of which is just what American voters like
10 hear about their political candidates.
Despite the grim "reminiscences of political
machines there is still touch of romance to
the battle of ballots that often towers over
Z the more sordid side of the game.
( There seems to be every indication that the
convention at Chicago 1--WE mean the second
one, not the cut-and- dried affair that the
republicans are forced to hold this June)
will revert into tug -of-war that may bring
back memories of Madison Square Garden
in 1924. There will be disposition to
avoid similar scene. of course. In such an
event MIR Taylor fits right into the place
that his hackers are carving for him. He is
now distinguished citizen of Chicago.
What more logical than for any deadlock to
be broken by a Traylor boom' In the
event of no deadlock there again would be
room for MIR Traylor in second place on the
ticket.
Of course, Kentucky is thrilled at the
thought of once more sending native son
\ to the White House. But it is long trek
to this palatial residence when the person in
question hasn't yet fitted his shoes to the
stepping stones. BY that we don't mean
that MIR Traylor is denied the White House
because of any particular reason. But we
ask anybody to show us where any man be-
came president without some preliminary
training in politics. And SO far as we know
mo president of the United States has gone
directly to the Capitol from the presidency
Of one Of the country's largest banks, We
don't set this up as precedent. We simply
point out that it hasn't been done. And
how often do the American people break
their silly political preeedents?

THE HoUR-GLAss COMES BACK
(New Haven Journal Courier

New Haven Journal Courier)
In such an age as this, most
people do not know just exactly
what an hour-glass Is. They un-
derstand somewhat vaguely that 1t
was once in use as method for
telling time. However In an age
SO filed with watches and clocks,
why even bother about thinking OF
such things? Nevertheless, tho
hour-glass is staging O comeback
in America. and that comeback is
not In rural sections, but in the
Wall street section of New York.
These little devices which allow
sand to sift from one compartment
to the other in three minutes are
now to be seen in banks. The rea-
son for this is that employees, MAX
ing long-distance calls, often talk
for the full three minutes allowing
no time for hanging up the receiv-
er. Thus the company charges
for another minute and the bills
pile up. With the minute hour
glasses now installed before each
telephone, the communication finds
that he is able to judge the time
more easily than he formerly could
with his watch. The device comes
back for a definite place in BUSH
ness. 1t is wondered how many
other things, now almost COM
pletely relegated to the past, will
stage comebacks and be found aid
ing the moderns.

are naturally inclined to favor government
help for selfish reasons, or else on the gen.
eral principle that the rich should pay as
they are able. to save the poor.
On the whole, it is good thing that
this issue has arisen, because it, is driving
home to the people everywhere the fact that

of plenty. but merely an agency through
which money paid into its treasury by the
people who earned it can be paid out again.
to them or Others that the government is
but business agent, and not very thrifty
one, for the nations taxpayers. Charity is
naturally and ordinarily a local issue.
1t is more thrifty, more logical and more
human when any locality can take care of its
own people in time of want and distress
But in time of natural catastrophe or busi-
ness disaster there will always be towns dis
tricts, states or sections where this cannot
be done Many small governmental units
now are virtually bankrupt Only the state
and federal government has credit enough to
provide prompt and adequate relief.
In such cases there should be no hesitaney
about appealing to the state, if it can handle
the situation, or to the federal government
if it cannot tits always to be remembered,
however, that even the credit of the national
government is not unlimited. Excessive
and unnecessary demands on its resources
which all come from local resources--might
drag down the whole system.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-05

1t was gratifying to find only two dis
senting voices when the House of Repre-
sentatives late Thursday afternoon passed
the Norbeek Joint resolution authorizing
the distribution to the needy of 10000, 900
bushels of government owned wheat. The
grain is at present in the hands of the Fed
eral Farm Board and that organization
doesn't think it is quite fair to take away
the wheat for which the board had to pay
without reimbursng the board. However.
in this one instance we don't think this faint
cry will carry very far. 1t certainly hadn't
ought to with conditions in this nation as
deplorable as our welfare organizations re-
port them to be.
There is little likelihood of the President
vetoing the measure, although it is the first
direct relief measure that has been passed
and not of White House origin. 1t is stated
in the measure that the whole amount Of
wheat be distributed before May /, 1893.
1t is high time that Uncle Sam stopped talk
ing about paternaism, doles, and the like
and came to full realization of the plight
Of his constituents. With distress as wide
spread as it apparently is government aid

cannot cope with the situation. Since we
have so much wheat in our granaries prac-
ticaly going to waste and certainly keeping
that commodity at too low price to per-
NIT growers to make fair profit it is for the
best interests of all that it be distributed to
those who need it. but cannot buy it.
Coffee-growing countries might follow
similar lines. Instead of using. coffee beans
for fuel distribute it through agencies to
families who cannot Oxford to buy it, Even
though extremely low prices prevail in the
grain market. as we'll as the coffee. there are
those of us unfortunate enough not to be
able to buy. So when people read about
coffee being destroyed or milk thrown away
as protest against low prices it occurs to
US that we are overlooking splendid oppor-
funities to be philantEropists in our own
right. Cooperation buying, selling. and liv-
Ing Is certainly going to defeat the depres-
sion. Certainly cooperative distribution of
raw foodstuffs is to be encouraged.

While we don't wish to offend nor even
discourage the struggling taxpayer we feel
it is our duty to inform him. her, ct ALA.

day ends your chance to enrich Uncle Sans
Golfers this year and reduce that staggering

Help Out the Milk Fund

With the $4,000 goal almost in sight it
seems pity that the full amount needed to
finance the free school milk distribution for
the next year cannot be realized. A little
over $1,000 is now in the fund treasury.
Owing to the scarcity of funds due to few
contributions Health Officer Godfrey
week or SO ago stated that distribution of
milk to all schools would have to end very
shortly. A beated squirt iii contributions
now makes it possible to continue the free
milk for another week or ten days.
The cause is such good one that we feel
our appeal tonight won't be regarded as ask
ing too much of the general public. Most
of us are aware of the amount of good the
free milk fund has done for school children
in years gone by. 1t seems pity that when
it is needed the most it may have to be dis
confined. OF course, we are well aware of
the diverse and numerous appeals that the
general public is receiving today. Every day
we are asked to give to some fund or charity.
However, small contribution. a dime,
quarter or as much as the individual can af-
ford, every week will certainly buy milk for
some youngster whose parents can't procure
it for him. It's the small contributions
that keep the milk fund operating. A
steady influx Of money will enable the
proper authorities to administer their trust
as eapably as they have in the past. We
trust that Waterbury will enable them to
do this, keeping in mind the important fac
toe that the health of our growing boys and
girls depends to great extent upon it.

A CHANGING STATE
, (Hartford Courant)

tfldTtlOEu OOuTdHbl
There comes to the Courant
through the courtesy OF the state
forester, Austin r. Halves, q forest
map OF Windham county. On this
chart, open land appears In white;
old fields, abandoned farms and
areas covered more than 80 per
cent by hard wood are shown in
pink, areas covered less than 80
per cent by hard wood are shown
In orange, while green green Is used
for sections covered so per cent
or more by conifers. The map Is In
structive, and 1t indicates that any
one desiring experience in pioneer
agriculture might find II without
much difficulty in Windham county.
where dwelt one general OF the
Revolution, as we'll as o general
whose early death In the Civil war
was O great loss to the north. The
first was Israel Putnam, tho second
Nathaniel Lyon.
The open land forms, we had
almost said, n belt across the coun-
ty from north to south trifie east
OF the center, this being the first
reaction to q glance at the map.
Next one notes that the county 1s
not given up to conifers, the green
areas being few and scattered. One
sees that old fields and woodland
predominant from the southern
border of Thompson to New Lon
don county along the Rhole Island
line; the same conditions appear
in Rhode sland. Plainly there is
an opportunity for anyone with
courage to get back to the soil and
to transform waste land into pro-
ductive farms capable of Supports
ing those who toll upon them. 1t
involves hard work, but 1t does
not necessitate the isolation which
was the lot OF the pioneers, for
no one in Connecticut now lives
far from a telephone while that

willing to work with his hands and
who desires to produce from his
own fields the food for himself and
his family. the smaller towns In
Connecticut, especially those along
the borders of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, offer interesting OPP
portunities.
If there are any who contem-
plate the venture they may be sure
that their isolation is likely to lose
a part of it's inconvenience with
the present trend toward the estab-
lishment of small hospitals and SAN
atoria. In Windham county we
note hospitals in Putnam and STAFF

Norwich is not exactlys inaccessible

some institution of the sort in DAN

Arborr Days

The season of ,Arbor Days is here again.
Nearly all the states now observe an arbor
day. but With. no uniformity in date. In
the South even December and January dates
have been selected. Most states have their
arbor days in the spring months The
proper time for planting trees is usually the
deciding factor. Nebraska was the first
state to give legislative sanction to public
tree planting observance. The early settlers
in that state had great foresight and great
faith. They settled an almost treeless area
believing that the saiEwas. exceptionally good
and that the climate could be made good
by setting out forests. Their faith and
works bore fruit
Perhaps not a great deal of ree-planting
is done on any arbor day. There is no whole
sale activity along this line. The days
chief value is educational School and club
programs teach conservation and forestation,
and many schools and institutions set out
one or more trees 1t may be that some of
the programs induce individuals to set out
trees on their own home lots 1t does
not much matter what tree one plants, SO
long as it is adapted to the local climate and
soil. Trees are lovely in all seasons Ever
greens. the fruit trees, nut trees, wide
Spreading shade trees, all offer beauty to the
human eye and shelter to birds. Few of our
special days are more worthy of wide OBJ
servanee than the one devoted to trees.
