Mr.. Jenkins had just walked

But there was no doubt that
the incident had raised Janet in
Mrs. Curtis eyes. She gave her

"Well-I'll do my best to keep
her!" Mrs. Curtis declared Wig
orously. Pm sure l don't know
where I'd get another like her!"
The attack of grippe seemed to
leave Mrs. Curtis weak. DR.. Rob-
erts said there was nothing for
her to do but rest and save her
strength. No parties and no ex-
citement. She was to stay at home

School Demands

AS some millions of school children all
over the United States arc getting them
selves squared away for the coming year.
their fathers and mothers might profitably
spend little time in meditation about the
present plight of the entire school system.
Few public services have felt the depression
more than the schools. Teachers have gone
unpaid, school activities have been cut
down, some schools have been forced to ex-
tend their holiday periods. others have had
to close entirely, nearly all have had to drop
certain courses and consolidate number of
activities.
Nor is that the worst. While all of this
has been happening, there has been develop
ing an influential and vocal group which has
insisted that the schools have been getting
more than their share of tax revenues even in
good times. We are being told that our
school system is far more elaborate and
more expensive than it need be. 1t is being
argued not only that the school budget must
be drastieally reduced during the depression,
but that the reductions must be permanent.
Anyone who has ever paid taxes will adj
nit that the schools have been costly. Ii is
probably true that many school executives
have become bit Self-important in their
claims for tax support. Some towns have
built school buildings on too-elaborate
scale Some schools have tried to include
too many things in their eurrieula. Never.
theless, admitting that there has been extrav-
aganee and lack of judgment in many
school boards. one far more important fact
remains unchanged 1t is simply this our
whole society is built up around the public
school system. and any drastic change in the
school system must have far reaching efforts
on the entire nation.
We are committed to a political democ.
raey. and we are now trying to broaden it
to make it an industrial democracy as well.
To make 90 of it we must have body
of citizens whose minds have been given all
the training, all the enlightenment which
they can assimiatc. The system simply can
not work otherwise. Before we consent to
permanent reductions in our public school
services, we must do some very careful
thinking
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-09-13

The 80th anniversary meeting of the
Laurel Hill Association OF Stoekbridge was
featured by the presence of several notable
men and truly remarkable address. The
Laurel Hill Association may sound like the
title of just another garden or civic club to
the uninitiated, but it happens to be the old
est and the pioneer village improvement So
ecty in the United States. Its history is re-
plete with good work accomplished in max
ing not merely the name of Stoekbridge syn
onomouS with natural beauty, but the Berk-
shire Hills in which colorful surroundings
the group works and prospers the mecca of
nature lovers.
1t remained for the Rev e. Russell
Bourne. rector of the Church of the Res
direction of New York city to deliver an
inspired address last Friday when the asso-
citation gathered in Stoekbridge for its an
nual session. He spoke at some length, but
with remarkable clarity and simplicity on
subject which is both near and dear to him,
namely, the Berkshire roads. In the course
of his remarks he said, The condition of
our beautiful Housatonc river for intsance
is . crying shame; and it seems almost i'm
possible to arouse public interest in its re-
dempton. To think that stream which in
Europe would be used for pleasure and its
waters carefully controlled, should be turned
into an open sewer by US Berkshire people
that it should be made a dumping place of
all kinds of refuse. and in places TANNED
with logs, while the banks are destroyed by
erosion, must make the ancient Indians who
lived in this country turn in their
graves
Letting the Indians lie quietly in their
graves for a while, what about the thou
sands of native-born and naturalized citizens
who must watch their rivers and their lakes
be turned into cess pools' And it isn't just
the HouSatonie whose beauty is threatened.
The Naugatuek valley is still rather scenic,
bot the river hardly fits into the picture.
There are countless streams and ponds in
Connecticut. as we'll as Massachusetts,, which
have become polluted solely because man
kind lacked the foresight to see what the flu
ture with water supplies ruined meant, We
Gee it now all right, but we arc eurbed in our
Efforts to remedy the situation. The Rev
Mr. Bourne merely srazed the surface when
he spoke about beauty being destroyed.
What about water supplies half a century
hence? What about community health'
They also are factors in this problem in
which with the right hand we destroy our
natural resources and with the left reach
out for them.

John Cilmour

The death of John Gimour has started
many an oldtimer reminiseing. Judging by
the stories and remarks, John Gilmour was
the outstanding democrat of his day in Wa
tcrbury. We can we'll believe this. He was
a man Of exemplary character and one in
whom the utmost confidence could be
placed. In business as we'll as politics he
made his mark He was never one to push
himself to the fore or seek honors for him
self. but when approached for his active sup
port he was quick to respond with it and to
give to the best of his ability if he believed
the person of the occasion merited it.
While of recent years he was not fami-
lar figure on our city streets he managed to
keep up his aequaintaneeship with old
friends. Many people went out of their
way to visit him at his old homestead on
Newell Place. He was fond of relating
events and happenings of bygone days And
he maintained lively interest in what was
occurring at the moment Current events
did not escape his ken, He was of long
line of men of whom few now are left IN
our midst 1t is all the more reason that we
grieve at their passing.
Up until about 20 years ago Mr. Glmour
actively engaged in business. His had been
full life up to that time. 1t did not be-
come one of solitude after that. And while
he was seen with less frequency in the cir-
eles that had been graced by his presence
his influence was still felt He remained to
the end keen critic of what he regarded as
unbusinesslike actions in office. He might
have held public office in his day. 1t is
known they were offered him. But he did
not yearn for them. He was content to aid
Others to achieve them. while he remained
councillor and friend.

This Years Fight

1t has been said many times by many diff
ferent persons that if nation ever put as
much unified effort and intelligence into
solving social problems and promoting peace
as it puts into fighting any war. miracles OF
progress in health, education, prosperity and
happiness could be achieved easily. The
present mobilization of public opinion and
the widespread cooperation to fight depres-
sion by means of the recovery program is
evidence that such unified effort is being put
forth now
The I'VE Do Our Part banners and
posters are reminiscent of war time posters
in their appeal to patriotism. However.
what we were preparing to do then differed
sharply from what we are preparing to do
now. Then we were supporting war
which was to take many lives and destroy
much property. 1t was to result in the dis
organization of society and the imposition of
taxes which would burden generations then
unborn. The fight this year is aimed TO
save lives and property, to benefit society
and to conquer the forces of unemployment
and poverty
