The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-01-07

Much attention has been given by editorial and magazine writers to the list of tho ten most beautl- full words compiled by the poet and publisher, Mir Wilfred J. Funk. This weeks number of the Literary Digest contains an interesting arr tiele concerning MT Funks list and also lists submitted by other members of tho writing field. A reporter from the Democrat interviewed John c. Gilmartin, considered ono of Waterbury's au- thoritive word students for his vor- sion of this late literary wrinkle. When MT Gilmartin was asked what he thought about MT Funk's work he said It was indeed n com mendable undertaking and praised tho author for his honest and suc- cessful effort in revitallzing u sub ject that has been permitted to remain dormant only too long. MT Funk's contribution has aroused at least momentarily, many from word -lethargy to word-conscious- personal lists have already been late MT Funk's.
 MT Gilmartin decried the at- tempts made by some of the writ ihg hierarchy to debunk or bur- lesquo this undertaking by for wardlng lists that woro bizerre and Lane. This, he thinks. was actu- ated by desire on the part of those authors, who unquestionably have n super-exaggerated opinion of themselves. either to belittlo tho conscientious effort of MT Funk or to have the spotlight of publicity focused upon them for the time being,
 When MT Mlmartin was asked to submit his list of the ton most beautiful words he replied he was totally Incompetent and might Just as well attempt to draw a square e..cle. However he agreed to com. pile n list of twenty words which he said, have appealed, for the past ten years to the members of his vocabulary classes, composed of teachers and members from pro- fessional and business ranks,
 In selecting this list he wished to emphasize tho fact that t was eupi ony and not tho words com notation that was instrumental in placing 1t among tho twenty. He also added that three or Tour or these words appear on other lists.
 Gilmartin's list: somber, mellow, naive, felicity, poignant, urbanity, luminous, indulgent, dedicatory, lneffable. vigilant, lacrlmose, demo- iition, benign, limpid, dormant, idealizo, benevolent and spon' taneity.
 From his wlde experience with word study classes he remarked there was urgent need of some means to stimulate students to In. crease and to enhanee their e0l- lection of forcefui and appropri. ate adjeetives and adverbs. At present, good, bad, terrible, and awful, seem to constitute the basic part of tho average mans adJect- val supply. He expressed Q wish that some intellectual luminary of national reputation would eom- menee drive for felleltious phrases. This MT Gilmartin thinks, will have . more salutary effect upon a persons vocabulary and style than will tho single world list.

 That tho weatherman will be kind to the local unemployed over the weekend, was tho hope not only of those receiving aid but also Of tho public in general. While warm weather is prevalent today should Q cold snap arise there is no know. ing what suffering tho needy will go through with the absence Of their usual coal ratlons.
 The Mutual Aid headquarters, whom called, stated that the peason for tho failure of the committed to meet tho demands at the end of tho week was duo to tho fact that q load of coal routed for Water bury went the wrong way. It was finally found at saybrook junction.

THE OBSERVANCE
 OF THRIFT WEEK
Making of Wills and Budgets to Be Subjects
 of Business Women
JANUARY I7 TO g

The making of wills and of per- sonnl budgets will be the subjects stressed by business women during the annual observance of Thrift Week, January 17-23. A survey of the membership of the National Federation of Business and Pro. fessional Women's Clubs, conduct. cd by the National Thrift chair man, Mrs Emile H. Burcham of Spokane, Washington, shows that although business women are prudent in most respects they are negligent along Shese two lines. In fact while almost 80 per cent of them maintain savings accounts, but 26,2 per cent safeguard the disposition of their estates and but SIS per cent budget their incomes. "Budget" and "Bequeath" will. therefore, be the slogan cm. phasized during Thrift Week in 1850 business and professional women's clubs from coast to coast
 In the program for Thrift Week the National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional 'Women's Clubs cooperates with major mems and women's organizations of the country under the auspices of the National Thrift Committee. At original phase, however, Is observ- ance of January 17, Benjamin Franklin's birthday, as Business Women's Thrift Day. The uni form program Is a thrift dinner" served at depression prices, with addresses by bankers. building and loan executives, insurance and in- vestment house representatives, on tho various methods by which bus mess women can safeguard their incomes and accumulate a surplus. Here Withholding and budget-mak- ing will be especially stressed.
 During Share with Others day. observed January 22, the 60,000 members of tho federation will consider particularly tho problems of the unemployed white collar woman.
 Returns from a Thrift survey made during 1892, just tabulated, in which 10 per cent of the mem- bership of tho organization parti- cipated, disclose interesting data about the thrift habits of business women. Among 30 states reporting Maine scores in the matter of in- dividual savings, the highest per- centage of It's clubs reporting that all their members maintain savings accounts.
 Indiana carries off high honors In life insurance with Q similar record. Arkansas Is first in tho matter of home ownership and Pennsylvania In investment in sec ourities and also in will-making. Pittsburgh, Williamsport, Scran- ton, Norristown, Lancaster, Easton and Cambridge Springs stand 50 per cent in the making of wills, with Pittsburgh totalling 77.7 per cont. Personal budgetlng Is prac- ticed to a greater extent in Idaho and Utah than In any other states,
 Returns from the survey as con. trasted with those of tho preceding year show an improvement in some respects and a drop in others. Sev- enty-seven and siX-tenths per cent of tho women participating carry savings accounts as contrasted with S1 per cent last year-a decrease due In some measure to tho de- precision. Seventy-five and three- tenths per cont carry life insurance as contrasted with 77 per cent last year. Ownership of securities has

Norman Thomas Has His Opinion About
 Technocracy Game
Technocrats Are Arrogant, He Said, and They Are
 Trying to Set Up a Dictatorship of Engineers

"In it's theory regarding the pyramiding of debt, technocracy Is right. It offers nothing to prevent this pyramiding, however, and 1t fails utterly to touch on the prob lems of distribution. tI considers the dollar-system as the measure of wealth and production, but 1t for gets that 1t Is also tho measure of human desire, and leaves that ele- ment entirely out of its calcula- tions.
 Whether you disbelieve in so- cialism, and hold 1t up to criticism or whether you agree with 1t, you must admit at least that 1t of- fcrs program for the better dis tribution of labor, or production, and of w~'lth. 1t has a definite plan which 'schnocracy completely lacks"
 The socialist plan for reconstruc- ton of the social orders, as an- nouncod in its political campaigns is for "the transfer of the princi- pal industries of the country from private ownership and autocraitc, cruelty inefficient management, to social ownership and democratic control"
 It proposes to effect these chang es through legislation, and would flatten out the pyramids of wealth through "steeply increased inheri- tance taxes and income taxes, on the higher incomes and estates of both corporations and individuals. :"
 "How can socialism achieve It's end" Thomas was asked.
 Through education and through unity of the workers" he said. And since the technocrats have called attention to one phase of the economic situation, and sot some people to studying tive have to thank them for that much"

BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE (Copyrlght 1888, by United Press

Copyright 1888, by United Press)
 New York, Jan 7.-(UP)-The technocrats are arrogant" Norman Thomas, national leader of tho so- cialist party said to-day In an ex- elusive United Press interview. Behind their system l can see only one possibility in their minds the setting up of q dictatorship of engineers. That Is fascism, or at least 1t lends itself beautifully to fascism."
 Technocracy touches, sketchily, upon one phase only of the worlds ailing economic situation, he be- lieves, and 1t has contributed Q total of zero towards finding a cure.
 But" he said, i've have to thank tho technocrats for presenting, dra- matically, 0 theory that has ad- vertised the present situation to the world and, at least temporarily, set men to thinking about, it."
 Tho major weakness of techno- cracy, Thomas declared, is that 1t presents no plan and has no sys- tenn to replace what 1t would sweep away. It Is purely destructive in It's present stage.
 Technocracy, judging from the published statements of its follow crs, Is concerned alone with the factor of technological uremploy- mont, and that Is ono of thW minor causes of the economic breakdown in his opinion.
 "The study and analysis of this factor is worth while and proper" he said. But a. far bigger fac- tor, untouched by the technocrats, Is cyclicai unemployment, due to q breakdown of the whole system, and only slightly affected by the increase of machines and the re- placement of human labor by horse- power"
 "The technocrats have aroused attention because they have dram- atized their theory with q mumbo- jumbo of formulas that appeal to business men oven If they can't there ia new In their presentation of well known facts.
 "Other investigators have pre- sented tho same theories in sound- or fashion. Thorstein Veblen's The Price system and Frederick Soddy's Wealth, Virtual Wealth and Debt give a clearer picture of this phase. Fred Henderson of England has done the same thing.
 "The only new thing in techno- cracy. therefore, is tho formula in in which it's followers have clothed old theories, and some attempt to present mathematical facts to support 1t.
 "On the other hand, its research Is incomplete and inconclusive. Many of It's facts may Do dis puted.
 If we accept technocracy at It's face value, then, what do We have? Nothing but m analysis Of figures touching on q small phase of econ- omics, without Q plan of further procedure, without n blue print for the future, and without any con- structive system to replace what 1t would tear down.

dropped from nearly 60 per cent to 65.5 per cent. The percentage of home owners, however, has in- creased from 37 per cent to S9.S per cont and the percentage mak- ing wills from 22.5 per cent to 26.2 per cent. Moreover if the number who havo savings ac- counts but carry no life insurance Is added to the number carrying life insurance, 1t Is evident that 07.5 per cont of tho women who answered questionnaires have ac- cumulated or invested a reserve.
 "The most remarkable phase of the survey, however" says Mrs Burcham, lis tho record of 71 women who, although they have others dependent upon them. practice every phase of saving we have outlined in our questionnaire; maintain savings accounts, carry life insurance, own or are buying a home, own securities, have made their wills and budget their per- sonal incomes"
