SEARCHING FOR GOLD

The Seattle Times, commenting upon the golden era just now besetting the world says:
 Every country which at any time in it's affairs has mined gold is witnessing revival of interest in this from of activity. The trek of prospectors to the hills and streams of Washington, Oregon and California and numerous other American States the stampedng of miners to Alaska discoveries and the intensive search being undertaken turnout Northern Canada is being dup
 "Prevousy it is reported low values and high pro- duction costs had operated against the successful duct of these ventures Now with the purchasing power of the metal enhanced and all expenses reduced it has been found practical to tap these anceny known edges
 "The drive for gold wholesome thing. It is ably certain the earth has yielded up only small portion of it's riches. With world still at its high level and certain to reach higher peak during the next per- od of prosperity need exists for continued supplies of the yellow metal as the backing of monetary systems
 Nor should the net result in the form of added gold production be discounted too sharply. With many seekers working the mines and banning the rivers of every nation possessing wealth of this character, the gross output in this and succeeding years is certain to reach surprising and possibly, startling proportions"

From Naugy To Canaan

The big guns of the state democratic party were turned loose last evening in what should be bombing cruise all the way up the valley from Naugatuck to Canaan m behalf of the efforts of Martin E. Gormley for United States representative from ths fifth congressional district. A good start was apparently made at last nights rally with Governor Gross sounding the toesln and Congressman Lonergan State Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone and others 0! state wide and local repute warmly reiterat- ing it.
 Next in line in the Gormey mopping up campaign for the attention of this flying squadron should be Waterbury. which in all probability will be the pivot point upon which Mr Gormley's election. or defeat. de- pends in November. Waterbury IS the out standing vote-easting city in the district and can. if every effort is put 10 the wheel as in the case of Ex-Congressman P. 5. OSul- livan some few years back. be the deciding factor in determining the congressional winner.
 True. in this election. as in the case of two years ago. Mr Gormley has the present congressional eneumbent. Edward ". Cos. to contend with again. Yet. if you recall. Mir Goss barely slid in by the narrow mar gin of less than one thousand votes. So II can easily be seen where Waterbury by just a little extra effort can wipe out that margin of safety with little or no trouble other than q united drive of local democrats 10 put Mir Gormley across.
 While Congressman Goss proved the better man. as they say in the l930 election. there is no reason to believe he will neees- ssrly repeat that feat in l932. As we pointed out above. his margin of victory was too thin to be of any assurance in the future. And furthermore. Mir Goss'a two years in Washington have not been marked with any outstanding achievements. per- haps more his partys fault than "Ned's. Yet the fact remains. his record was no bet ter than his party's and if that can be for given. anything can.
 So it is with all this in mind that the Democrat feels that if the same jealous sup port that the democratic party in Waterbury is capable of giving is put behind Martin Gormley during this campaign, there need be no fear as to his success at the polls on November Eth. There must be united effort. concerted action. and above all. an aggressive campaign such as was launched last night in Nau2atuck all the way up the valley 10 Canaan And in the event of such procedure we think Mir Gormlcy will do much to offset tbe inroads made by Mr Goss two years ago.

Wages and Prices

President William Green of the American Federation of Labor eritieises reported plans for another wage reduction for million or more railway employees The railroads are not hauling anything now" he says. How do they expect to haul anything if they destroy buying power' He maintains that the previous ] 0 per cent wage cut did them no good.
 Whatever might be the merits of this particular proposal the principal that MT Green points out ls sound. If there was one thing that business economists agreed on during the last boom. il was that high wages were essential 10 prosperity. because. while improving the lot of the wage -earners they sustained buying power prices and profits. If this was true then, it is just as true now
 Fortunately basic wage rates have fallen less. in the greatest of depfessIons than they used 10 do in lesser depressions. l here is. therefore. better foundation left for the new prosperity. now ezpscied. as II gets under way. IL is obvious that there should be the least possible further cutting. and that previous wage cuts should be made up again as rapidly as employers are able 10 do 90 In fact. il will be good policy 10 an, ticipate little. az business starts definitely on lhe up grade again

Hours and Days

It seems to be pretty generally agreed that we are going to have either the alx-hour working day. or tbe five-day week, or both when industry gets its stride again. We shall know more about that two or three years from now. Practical requirements of in- dustry will decide the matter. rather than theory.
 If everything is humming again. with demand for goods outrunnlng productive capacity. and salaries and wages rising shor days and weeks may not look SO attractive. Money and men will want 10 earn while the earning is good. Industries will want 10 operate continuously 10 supply the de- mand and reduce overhead.
 If there is 10 be any choice determined by human values. would not five day week of seven or eight hours be preferable 10 x-day week of siz hourst There IS noth ing sacred. of coursc about tbe eight hour day. any more than there was about the ten or twelve hour day. But six hours in mos; occupations makes pretty short day. And why not take longer week end' We are headed that way already.

Cruise of the Log

People have all sorts of ideas about transportation. There was the lady from Minneapolis. or wherever it was. whose hearts desire was to navigate the Mississippi from top to bottom in rowboat. and who pretty nearly did it. Latterly more notable feat of the same general nature has been over looked. A lumber jack from 400 miles above St Paul has been travelling down the big river on log. and now has had to stop and send back home for neW log because the old one is worn out.
 It shows again how enduring man is. IL is the log. not its rider. that gives out. May the new cedar log be tougher. This form of navigation is interesting because it is so utterly primitive. Mans firA water craft ls said 10 have been log. padded with his hands. But soon the erag browed ape-man hollowed out the log and sat down in it and got him pole or paddle. And those who didn't like all the work of hollowing out the log took two logs and tied 'em together. go they wouldn't roll over. Somebody should tell this logger about t.

AN ANNUAL EVENT
(Hartford Courant)

(HnrttOr0 COuThUIJ
 Massachusctts has its town meetings in March. while Connecti- cut electors meet on the first Mon- day in October. All towns held these meetings for years, but when sessions in the larger center grew unruiy. they gave way to boards of aldermen. which may or may not have been n change for the better. The shift was imperative.
 There are still many towns in the state that hold to the old plan, with some modifications, one of the more common being that of hold ing the election of town officials on one day and having the towns business meeting on another. or. at least, after the polls are closed. The meetings were on two occa- sions in the last century handicap ped by great storms. One Of these was m early snowfall near n cen- tury ago, which forced farmers to remain at home that their live- stock might be cared for. while the other as we recall it, came in 1S6o. On that year a tropical storm swept the state. and residents who reached the town meetings were in some cases unable to return 10 their homes because bridges had been carried away.
 The meetings are frequently in- teresting, especially as third degree methods are often applied to the first eeiectman as he tells or the towns expenses. indicating for what the disbursements were made and who got the money. Work on highways is n frequent subject of debate, as residents in the south western section will call heaven to witness that fav0ritism ts being shown, as most of the road work was done in the northehstcrn part of the town. The first selectman Is the target. his colleagues escaping unscathcd for the most part.
 ghcools were frequently topics for debate, especially before con solidatton of schools made head way. and the first selectmnn had much to explain or defined, but since the state board Of education has extended its powers. the work of the town authorities consists for the most part of erecting now buildings or providing traDsporta- ton for pupils. If debate starts in town meeting regarding n matter pertaining to education, it is roc garding q matter af new school building. Town meetinEa are not what they once were. They iess- sned in interest when minority representation was granted, and the centraiizing trend of the state has added it's bIt. But still q town meeting in Connecticut is we'll worth attending,

 It is common knowledge that three-cent postage has led many utility companies and largo mcr- cantile establishments to distribute their monthly bills and statements through the use of their own ein- pioyes, n practice which tho postal edpnrtment hns called legal. The fact has become clear that the gov crnment has invited the law Of com mpttition to enter the Held against federal monopoly In way which the government is unable to prevent. Tho net result Is that the new postal rates defeat their own purpose. That was foresceable and forcseen.
 It is perhaps regrcttablc that the federal budget is not to have the benefit of the estimated added in- come that was sought in this item in tho biliion-doilar. tax bill passed by congress last spring. but 1t must also be recognized that Uncle Sam cannot escape the operation Of eco- homie laws. When the postage rate is raised to ieved where t be- comes more economical to deliver letters privately or reduces the number of letters actually pre- pared for delivery, there is no so- Iufion except to bow to the sittta- ton and apply n rate which brings in the largest returns bectuso 1t best fits nil the facts in the case.

Miss Mary R. Hillard

The death of Miss Mary Robbins Hilard, educator. for twenty-five years the highly esteemed headmistress of Weaover School in Middlebury. was distinct shock 10 this community Miss Hillard was seventy years of age and had practically completed fifty years in the teaching field. Her many years in the educational field. however. had not dlmmed her interest or enthusiasm in her chosen work. She had begun the new sea- son at Westover School in good spirits and health. A work of mercy about a week ago brought on cold and then more serious complications. then her unforeseen death. just as she was about 10 begin her last year of active work in the teaching field. Her pupils at Westover School now in attend anee. the extensive number of graduates dur ing many years. her friends and aequaint- anees, her contemporaries in educational work throughout the country. and the large number who had any association whatsoever with Miss Hillard in matters educational. or otherwise. will receive the news of her death with regret
 In addition to her splendid contribution to the educational world Miss Hillard was notable figure in civic affairs. She was splendid type of woman. far above the average, of the highest culture. fairminded and broadmnded; she was tolerant of the views of others. and in her political per- suasions espoused the cause she honestly con. sidered the fairest and best. She possessed d great chartableness. and interested herself in aiding the needy, her pblanthropies among the Russian exiles of outstanding im- poftance. Her phllanthropie undertakings brought her in close contact with a wide cir ele of people and she was greatly loved and respected by hundreds who were the bene- feiaries in her numerous philanthropies.
 Miss Hllards school experiences included an carly association with Miss Porters School in Pennington. after which she was associated for years at St Margaret's School Grove and Cooke streets. later founding Westover. one of the most famous schools of its kind in this country. and maintaining it's high standing under the able direction of its beloved headmistress. Miss Hillard was born in Connecticut in this section of the state; her educational work was done for the most part in and near Waterbury She was an important figure in this little corner of the world, which she never left in her professional capacity. but her circle of friends and aequaintances was widely dis tributed. In short she was regarded during her life in her chosen work as one of the finest of teachers. one of the most able of school directors. and one of the most admir- able of women. If she had lived she would have completed her life after her retirement next June not far from Westover. where she gave such splendid service for a great number of years.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION

If you like the hard-boiled, or Neo Hemingway. school qf writers you probably will enjoy "summer Is Ended" By John Hermann, very much.
 Hero is a novel right in that tradition. Close-clipped, unadorned and straightforward, 1t tells tho story of q girl from small Michi- gan city who loves q man. lets him get out of her clutches and finally, in the last chapter, gets him again
 -oniy to find at the last that her deep desire to become the mother of large family can mover DC realized because of an indiscretion she committed during the time when 1t looked as if she had lost the man for good.
 All of this. you sec. Is pretty tragic; and my only objection to 1t is that the author has seemed to reach out and drag in his trag- cdy by tho heels. You don't feel. in other words, that the girfs tragedy was inevitable; instead you feel that the author put It Tn De- cause he wanted his book to be properly grim and heart-rending.
 And yet, for all that, the book is q good one. MT Hermann has succeeded in making his characters very real. especially the girl her self. While you're reading you live her life. You understand how she feels, you suffer and rejoice with her, by turns; and for all its de- fccts the book is well above the current average.
 Published by Covici- Friede, the book is priced at $2.
