GOLD VALUES, DOLLAR
WILL BE CONTROLLED

NCOHlluuSQ 1LOIA PoSS NHS(
tural prices. are high enough
yet"
"Some people are putting the
cart before the horse. They want
a permanent revaluation of the
dollar first. 1t is the govern
ment's policy to restore the price
level first. / would not know,
and no one else could tell, just
what the permanent valuation Of
the dollar will be. To guess at
a permanent gold valuation now
would certainly require later
changes caused by later facts.
"When we have restored the
price level, we shall seek to
establish and maintain dollar
which will not change its pur-
chasing and debt paying power
during the succeeding genera
ton. I said that in my message
to the American delegation in
London last July. And l say it
once more.
Because of conditions in this
country and because of events
beyond our control in other parts
of the world, it becomes increas-
ingly important to develop and
apply the further measures which
may be necessary from time to
time to control the gold value of
ouru own dollar at home.
"Our dollar is now altogether
too greatly influenced by the &C
cidents of international trade, by
the internal policies of other ma
tions and by political disturb
anceS in other continents. There
fore the United States must take
firmly in it's own hands the con-
troll of the gold value of our dol
lar. This is necessary in order
to prevent dollar disturbances
from swinging US away from our
ultimate goal. namely, the con-
tinued recovery of our cOmmod-
ity prices.
"As a further effective means
to this end, l am going to estab-
lish government market for
gold in the United States. There
fore, under the clearly defined
authority of existing law. | am
authorizing the Reconstruction
Finance corporation to buy gold
newly mined in the United States
at prices to be determined from
time to time after consultation
with the secretary of the treas
ury and the president. When
ever necessary to the end in
view, we shall also buy or sell
gold in the world market"
The president cited that ''in
the short space of a few months,
am convinced that at least f.
100000 have been given employ
mentor saying it another way,
40 per cent of those seeking
work have found it," He based
the percentage on the estimate
that of 12,000,000 or $4,000, 900
unemployed at the bottom of the
depression only 100000 were
persons desiring jobs.
He pledged aid for those in
danger of losing their homes,
pointed to the steady strides of
the public works administration,
and the agricultural adjustment
administration, and stressed the
administration objective of ex
tending credit to industry, COM
merce and finance.
Striking at gamblers in farm
commodities, whom he blamed
for the recent slump in agricul-
tural quotations, the president
continued:
I'm spite. however, of the spec
ulative reaction from the specu-
lative advance, il seems to be
well established that during the
course of the year 1888 the farm
ers of the United States will re-
ceiye 33 per cent more dollars
for what they have pro duced
than they received in the year
1882.

COMMUNICATION

Assuming that the citizens of the community are interested in actual facts relative to social events and social atmosphere, es- pecially such as touch the school in any way, wish to make the following communication thru the columns of The Seward Gateway.
 It is the fixed policy of the To- cal school for some faculty mem Der to be officially designated as sponsor and chaperon for all school parties, and such responsibility is both officially designated and ac- cepted in advance.
 Upon this basis, the school ac- cepts responsibility for the con- duct of students from the time they arrive at the building up to the time they leave the premises. Anything beyond this lies clearly within the domain of parental jur- isdiction.
 A recent party at the school house was investigated in detail by the Superintendent's office with the following results. The sponsor was formally designated and ac- cepted in writing. The sponsor and chaperOn did their duty as outlin- ed above. Any participants at the party who were indiscreet or who had conducted themselves in a manner inappropriate to the oc- casion before arriving at the school house were excluded from the building.
 The school has insisted, on all occasions, that school parties be conducted in as refined an atmos- phere as possible and students are admonished in advance to deport themselves with dignity at these functions in order to cultivate the social graces.
 High school parties, unless un- der rigid surveillance, are apt to be characterized by a tendency toward roWdyism and bad man. ners. Responsibility for this, in most part, again rests with paren- tai and home training. The school olcountenances it and does not hesitate to correct it when occa- sion demands.

 Supt. of Schools.

his guest artist, Clarence Fischer of 718 Frost road, this city Nal was dining in Philadelphia last Saturday in a hotel when he heard a fine program of xylophone and marimba music coming in over the radio from WTIC. He was so inn pressed by the young artist that he made inquiry at the Hartford sta- ton and discovered that Mir Fis- cher is from Waterbury. In a day or so MT Fischer had an invitation from Mir Hallett to appear at Hamilton park with his band when the famous maestro made his ap- pearance here.
 Fischer, resident of this city and an employe of the Water bury Clock company, is an accom- plished xylophone and marimba artist. He is a pupil of George Hamilton Greene, director of the Green Brothers Marimba band oi | Voctor and Columbia recording fame. Last Saturday Fischer and his piano accompanist, Louis Bois- vert, made their debut over WTIC Their performance met with the approval of studio officials and 1t is more than likely that they will soon be a regular feature of the Travellers.
 Both the Xylophone and ma rimba instruments which MT Fis- cher uses are specially designed and very expensive, the marimba being selected for the local boy by the director of the internationally famous Green Brothers Marimba troupe. He will have both instru- ments on the stage tonight.

THE POSTMASTER
 MAKES APPEAL
Asks People to Mail Christ mas Packages Early
 as Possible

Although the past week has seen tremendous increase in post office business, Postmaster James T.. Kelley to-day completed prepara- tions for the expected "big rush" beginning Monday. Eighty extra workers will be employed at the post office next week as laborers, clerks and carriers.
 The postmaster urged all those sending packages any considerable distance to have them in the mails by Monday if they wish them to reach their destinations in time for Christmas. All cards for out of state address. he said, should like wise be mailed Monday if possible.
 Since Christmas falls on Monday, there will be but a skeleton staff on duty at the Waterbury post office after Saturday midnight. There will be no regular deliveries Christmas Eve or Christmas day, hence ali Christmas mail intended for pre-holiday delivery must be mailed in time to reach it's destina- tion the g or 23.
 This years money order busi- ness, particularly in international money orders, was considerably in creased over that of 1882. Even with exchange rates to foreign countries great deal higher there were many more money orders sent and the total value was much higher than a year ago.

The financial report of the state convention and banquet held in this city last month will be sub mitted by Lewis Lauria, executive secretary, at Tuesdays meeting of the Waterbury Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor Merchants association at Moose hall. The question of loc- al membership cards will be dis cussed as the officers have found that the state association does not plan to issue them.
 Local tavern and restaurant owners are still awaiting word from Hartford as to Governor Cross attitude on the petition for Q special session submitted by the state wide association. The petition has the support of every local in the state, and the Waterbury members are confident that the special session will be called. It Is hoped that the legislators, meeting at the extraordinary assembly. would approve modification and liberalization of the liquor control act It is claimed by the local asso- citation that a large majority of the states voters are behind the move for more liberal legislation.

Within the coming week hum dreds of Waterbury homes will be frightened by the presence of Christmas trees. Fire officials ap- preciative of the happiness they will bring to youngsters are taking official cognizance of the fact that carelessly placed or decorated trees might bring sorrow into homes.
 In the interest of safety, Chief Henry H. Heitman announced to- day his lists of "Dont's" to all fathers and mothers. Here they are:
 Don't set up the tree so that 1t can topple over easily and don't place it near heating or lighting fixtures.
 Don't use lighted candles on trees.
 Don't use paper, cotton or eel luloid ornaments. Incombustible trimmings may now be purchased.
 Don't allow smoking near Christmas trees.
 Don't permit paper to accumu- late.
 Don't be careless in the use of electrical equipment or in extended wiring.
 Don't give small children dan- gerous toys-such as those requir- ing alcohol, kerosene or gasoline. Don't permit use of nitrocellu- lose film in home motion picture machines. This is dangerous be- cause it is extremely inflamma ble and, in burning, releases fumes causing death. Use only safety film, known as acetate film.
 Don't neglect to keep handy something with which to put out the fire that does happen to start.
 Don't keep the Christmas tree up after December 31st. It becomes

PARK DEPARTMENT
 YULETIDE PROGRAM
The COncOrdias to Sing Carols on the Green
 Christmas Eve

The flavor of an old-time Christ mas will be Waterbury's this year, thanks to the park department and the Concordia Singing Society. A group of more than 50 choristers will gather on the Green Christmas eve to sing Christmas carols usher- ing in the sacred feast with time less melodies.
 The Christmas enrolling custom, once an integral part of every Yuletide, has been gradually disap- bearing year after year. In this city it has been neglected almost com pletely of late years as a commun- ity custom. Only through. the ef- forts of Girl Scout troops and neighborhood societies has the car olling custom been saved from passing out of the Waterbury pie ture.
 The Concordia singers have been rehearsing the carols for weeks, and they will sing melodies of English, German and French origin. It was the society's idea to revive the community enrolling and its members proposed the plan to the park department, where it was approved.
