SLEEPING GIANT SAVED (Bridgeport Telegram)

The long fight to save the Sleeping giant" the famous topo- graphical feature so well known to travellers along the highway be- tween New Haven and Cheshire. has been won by the Sleeping Giant association. which has raid $30,000 to quarry company which had an 18-year lease on the mountain, and obtained a complete
 "The Sleeping Giant" feature necticut as "the great stone face" Is in New Hampshire is really Mt Carmel and the giant, who success fully resisted the weathering of ages, was rapidly crumbling before the attacks of the trap-rock quar- ryment when an association Of public spirited citizens was organ ized to intervene. -
 The owners of the mountain had given a long lease to the quarry company. There was a provision in the lease that the face of the Sleeping Giant" should not be de- stroyed. The association contended that the quarrymen were violating the lease. The owners refused to intervene, so the association bought them out. The Sleeping Giant as. sociation then found itself in the position of owning property which was being quarried in ap- parent violation of the original agreement and 1t promptly brought suit to halt the quarry men.
 The argument which ensued was long and complicated, but 1t was finally terminated by buying off" the quarrymen in the manner indi- cated. The Sleeping Giants rest will not be disturbed.
 We thank the Sleeping Giant as- sociation for a public spirited act, to the state of Connecticut than any amount of trap rock for roads.

 Oh, for a w. s. Gilbert to write the ballad of John P. O'Brien, to concoct another Savoy opera of Tammany and it's devices! A sub- Ject prompt for his pen, ripe for his rhyme. Consider the scientific survey to be made of the plump politicians popularity. "The boo ing" says The Herald Tribune.

FORESTRY IN THE EAST
Bridgeport Telegram)

ND4AuSCPO1t 4SAC6Aa aAAy
 Massachusetts is planning to ex- pand the state park and forest sys- tenn with federal funds. as a source of immediate aid to the unemploy- ed and future wealth and well-be- ing to the commonwealth. The plan has much to recommend 1t. The experience of the forest camps in Connecticut is encouraging. The boys in the outfit are enjoying their experience and their work Is sat- isfactory to the state foresters.
 It may seem odd, in speaking of forestry, to refer to its possibilities in such comparatively small. long, established and thickly populated states as Connecticut and Massa- chusetts. The fact still remains that there are thousands Of acres of woodlands in both states. for the most part acreage that will never be useful for any other pur- pose. There is sn almost equnl quantity of marginal land" that would be of more value forested than cleared. Finally both states are heavy consumers of forest products, which now must be tm- ported from long distances.
 If nothing more should be done than to cut fire paths through all of the large wooded tracts of Connecticut, the saving in annual damage from forest fires in both states would pay heavy returns In

 Washington. One school of economists believes that the best possible monetary policy at this time is no monetary policy at all
 There are reasons to believe that Roosevelt has been taking advice from that school.
 He has vast powers for imitation of currency which he has not used. Some time ago he let 1t be known that he was figuring on a return to the 1926 price level and his de- cision to refuse to participate in currency stabilization at London was explained in way to confirm that intention.
 Prices shot up in anticipation, But they paid no attention to pur- chasing power. Economists here -there are hundreds of them went into agitated huddles. That development simply didn't square with the big recovery campaign. The economists felt that Roosevelt. by dwelling on the 1926 price level was queering his own game. No Plan at Present
 Some of them told him that, dip. lomatically. He should have no policy until the recovery program had been worked out-or, at least should pretend he had none. Meanwhile, the administration was being forced to call for the MIRA blanket code in an effort to avert the crash that was threatened by the yawning gap between produc- tion and prices on one hand and payrolls on the other. Roosevelt has fiirted with vari- ous currency plans, but the best in- formation is that he is at present embracing none. Recently, after he had denied reports that he was about to devaluate the dollar, a correspondent asked him for con- fidential advice as to what might be expected. Roosevelt laughed and replied:

Professor Raymond Moley can now turn his particular talents to solution of the kidnapping racket. according to the latest dispatches from Washington. The former Columbia instructor who became one of Roosevelt's right hand men in his brain trust" has been commissioned by the presi- dent to study the situation. We hope he does better on this job than he did on the peace conference. So far as we can see over there he succeeded merely in making Secretary of State Cordell Hull his worst enemy. And that's bad.

The memorial on Vimy Ridge, which four Canadian divisions and the Thirteenth British Brigade of West Rents and Scots stormed in April, 1917, is not yet completed fifteen years after the Armistice. But 1t is an undertaking massive in conception on 240 acres 200 feet above the Douai Plain, and design ed to be worthy of a victory of which Sir Douglas Haig said: "The capture of the renowned Vimy Ridge is an achievement of the highest order and of which Can- ada may well be proud" It was fitting that the sculptor should be a Canadian, Walter S.
