The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-07

Representative Frank Maloney won another victory in Meriden Tuesday, when his candidate for mayor, Stephen l.. Smith, was elected mayor, thus suc- ceeding the congressman himself. Repre- sentative Maloney has held the dual of- fees of mayor and congressman since his election to the latter post in the 1882 poll ing. During his absence from the city this year it was, necessary for an acting mayor to take charge. The Meriden bat tie was one of the hardest fought in the city's history. The democratic candidate only won by 1,618 votes. This seems small to us, but we learned that it was the third largest plurality ever run up by a Meriden mayoralty candidate, Repre- sentative Maloney himself surpassing it alone on the two occasions that he was elected mayor. However, the democrats will have complete control of their city government As to Representative Maloney's prestige, it is naturally in- creased throughout the state. There can be no question but what he will figure prominently in the 1884 state and con- gressional elections. Whether he will make the run for the U s. Senate or not, may depend to considerable extent upon Governor Cross actions next year.

Ethel Barrymore outburst against the Philadelphia society women last week has evoked nothing but Severe criticism for her. Miss Barrymore chose to defend Eva Le Galienne, but her method of do- ing so evidently did not meet with ap- proval While we aren't averse to criti- cizing theater-goe sometimes for their lack of support for good plays, we don't think that it was up to Miss Barrymore to carry on such harangue as she is re- ported to have done in the newspapers. Miss Barrymore may have labored under the impression that her standing in the theatrical world is such as to amount to dictatorship. However, if it does extend over stage subjects, it at least does not touch those of us on the other side of the footlights. She stepped out of role for once, we're afraid.

The New Slogan, "S. T. M."

The purpose underlying most of the Recovery moves of the past few months IS the improvement of the purchasing power of the individual. On the retail merchant, as much as on any one class, depends the success of all such efforts. His business depends solely upon the purchasing power of his customers, which, as it increases, enables him to buy more freely from the wholesaler and the manufacturer.
 Therefore, it is disheartening, to say the least, to read in the editorial column of what we are wont to call our esteemed contemporary, virtual appeal to people to forego their usual Christmas purchases and to ransack their attics in search of some ancient relic which may be adorned with tissue paper and red ribbon and passed along to their less fortunate brethren. Truly masterly idea,-which should receive the grateful support of our merchants who have cooperated whole heartedly in every movement to restore prosperity.
 To add to the MIRA, REC, CWA, and countless other combinations of initials now in daily use, the American now makes a new contribution, STM-"Stop the Merchant. We venture to suggest that most acceptable and appropriate second hand gift to be found in the attic would be an aged and yellowed copy of the editorial page of that newspaper in the days when it's editorials were sources of inspiration and encouragement to our merchants and our people.

BRASS CITY FACTS

Mems dress in the years 1800-25
 in Waterbury was simple-they
 wore broad brimmed hats, broad tailed coats, long waistcoats, knee
 brooches and worsted socks. The l minister and the town doctor were
 the only ones to wear silk socks, which at that time were imported from England. The women wore
 simple homespun dresses, small bonnets, except on rare occasions
 on Sundays when they wore silk dresses, also imported from across
 the water.
 The first Roman Catholics men, toned in historical data in Water bury dates back to the year 1887, and soon after this their first
 church was built opposite the East
 Main street site of the Immacu-
 late Conception church.
 An old statute Gin existence after
 the Revolutionary War) ruled that each Waterbury housewife should have at least one Bible in the
 home. The amount of capital involved
 in the brass industry in early days was comparatively small. For in- stance in 1927 when the firm of J. M. l.. and w. H. Scovill was or ganized and after their predeces-
 sors had 1abored 25 years to estab-
 fish the business, the valu9 of the plant and good will was estimated At $20,000.

Bx PAUL HARRIsON

New York-It takes all kinds of accidents to keep New York lawy- CTS and insurance adjustors busy. One of the latter got to reminiscing the other day about some of the cases his company had handled.
 There was the fat vaudeville actress who sought compensation flor a nervous breakdown she said was brought on by getting stuck for an hour in 8 subway turnstile
 .. And another womans who once danced in practically nothing in a night club, who tried to sue a taxi company for mental distress and public indignity suffered when the
 bumper of cab caught and neatly removed her skirt while she was trying to cross a street against the lights..
 The man, a little tipsy and with a gorgeously c6lored sinner, who tried to lick an entire Russian orchestra because it played ''Black
 Eyes, when he entered the room. During the eviction his other eye was blacked. The woman who screamed and tainted at movie, then sought damages because the film, advertised as a thriller. was
 too exciting...
 Then there's the story about the man who was incapacitat- ted for nearly week because he got excited at Q bridge game. He was playing a slam bid and had just about rec signed himself to penalty when, studying the open hand, he realized a coup was pos sible. As he bounced on a card in dummy, his shoulder went out, of joint. And his friends, trying to get 1t back again, only made things worse Another black eye incident con-
 cerns the fellow who appeared at a party wearing a gaily discolored optic. His friends were just open- l ing up with the usual tritely sneer- ing remarks when he yanked two documents from his pocket and silently passed them around They were affidavits, sworn to by his wife and a house guest, and att tested by notary public, declar- ing that on a certain afternoon. in arising from chair, he had trip ped on a rug and fallen, his right eye coming into violent contact

 she hadn't seen in months, dashed over and gave him hearty and impusive smack. The victim hadn't recognized her, so he lodged, the
 kiss landing on his, left ear. He yelled in pain, then discovered that the ear was totally deaf. A doctor found the drum had been punctured, but 1t healed in a cou- pie of weeks.
 Just one more freak accident: man broke a leg in Arthur Mur- rays dance studio the other day. He came in for a course of lessons, saying he knew how to dance 8 little, but needed the exercises.
