Milk Producers To
 Pick New Directors
Connecticut Association Also to Elect Voting Dee=
 gates at Hartford Meeting Monday

adopted at special meeting of the
 membership in Hartford November
 28. The new bylaws reduced the
 number of districts from A to IS and set up new district lines. They
 also gave to the members in each
 district the power to elect directly the director who will represent
 them. Heretofore the directors have
 been nominated in the district
 meetings in December and elected
 at the annual meeting in January. The December issue of the c. M. P. A. Bulletin, in which the an. nouncement of the district meeting plans was made, urges every qual-
 flied member to attend. Every
 member entitled to vote should at
 tend this district meeting on De- cember 1S," says the Bulletin, and should do his part to see tbat his district elects representatives who are capable, honest, reliable
 and loyal to the best interests of our association. The future welfare of hundreds of dairymen and their families hangs in the balance. The coming year is. sure to be criti-
 cal one for the c. M. P. A. and for orderly milk marketing in this state. Every member must decide what kind of leadership he wants to- follow. His vote helps determine what that leadership will be in 1884"
 President Robert c. Mitchell in a signed editorial in the Bulletin personally urges every member en- titled to vote to attend. "The fu- ture success of our association" he says, depends upon the character and integrity of the men whom you will elect at these meetings to
 carry on. the association's affairs, This is entirely your problem" In each district meeting mem bers will elect a director who will be eX-offiicio president of the dis trict organization. They will elect a district vice-president and a dis trict secretary-treasurer. and they will elect five voting delegates, who with their director will attend an- nual and special meetings of the association. The fir;t annual meet ing under the new plan will be held in January and the voting del- egates and district directors will then name three directors-at-la large and will elect the officers of the state association.
 Under the new rules the direc- tors will serve staggered three-year terms. To start this rotating sys- tenn six of the eighteen districts vii elect directors for three-year terms, six for two-year terms and six for one-year terms. After the
 first election directors will be nam- ed in six of the districts annually. Terms of office for voting delegates and district officers, other than the director, will be one year.

FINE PERFORMANCE TAT WOMEN'S CLUB
Oscar Wilde's Comedy Ably Presented By Civic
 Theater Talent


 Choice epigrams and a good measure of pure melodrama char acterized the Civic Theater's per | formance at the Women's club Monday night of Oscar Wildes "A Woman of No Importance" which was the second presentation of the organization this season. | A splendid cast capably handled | the comedy which was costumed and hammered in the period, the sos. The selection of the cast was a satisfactory one, and each was by way of being pretty good in his and her role.
 The Wilde comedy. which is | quite gentle, is quite different from anything the group here has | ever attempted. Their success was | apparent. Quiet chuckles were heard, not only during the rather | clever general conversation of acts one and two, but also during the heavy melodrama of acts. three and four.
 The story of the play is familiar so needs no re-telling. Walter Dea- con as the sophisticated Lord Illingworth gave a splendid per- formance. He handled the part with finish, getting the most out of all the clever sayings and smart 1 talk of the character he portrayed. As an English 1890 ."bon mot-er"'
 he was right in his element and
 in the century, and in his final fade-out following a glove in the face by the woman he had wrong ed he carried the scene off to per- l lection.
 Margaret de Lancey was a most | 1tlrAoh Ia eta Chn was happily ignorant and ignorant
 ly happy, and never quite sure of
 what she wanted to say quite in the real Oscar Wilde manner. Her
 role was long one and pleasingly accurate as to character from be- | ginning to end. Adele Jenks as Lady Caroline Pontefract also gave
 a brisk and crisp performance. l Annette Pyle was an ingratiating Mrs Allonby, and Anne Griggs was
 satisfactory in the role of Lady Stutfield.
 ! Eleanor Bronson who played Mrs Arbuthnot carried off the
 honors for pure melodrama and | handled the tense moments in | truly dramatic fashion. She layed all her scenes to the hilt from her denunciation of the father of her DUH tO AACI llkl1l AC1NlALS oL d 61ONS in his face. William D. Pierson had the short but finely presented part of Archdeacon Daubeny, and gave splendid performance. Ed ward Davis as Sir John Pontefract, Warren Upson as MT, Kelvil, M. F., and Harold Hole as Arbuthnot. all gave good performances. Other minor parts were played by Tom Rianhard, Edward Wotkyns and Lois Todd.
 The play was in four acts, all but the last the drawing room at Hunstanton Chase; the last act was the room at Mrs Arbuthnot's. The costuming of the play and the gen. eral stage management are deserv- | ing of praise. The ladies were charming in the costumes of the sos and the gentlemen, too, did themselves : proud. Smoothness characterized the performance l throughout, very minor defects I particularly noticeable in the gen. eral competence. of the acting.

Don't Quote Me
BY UNITED PRESS

Washington, Dec 13.-(UP)-If you have a hard time remembering the meaning of the initials of the | multitude of Roosevelt admins trations," it may be some consola- ton to know that a lot of congress- men are in the same fix. | Director Joseph Choate of the liquor control administration arr rived early when he was sum- | moned to the joint hearing of the senate financing committee and the house ways and means com mittee on liquor taxes. He was introduced to Chairman Doughton of the house committee as the "dl- .rector of the Faca.'
 Doughton's committee had been studying liquor problems for some
 weeks, but he had to admit he didn't know what Faca meant.
 T know about MIRA and AAA." he said to Choate "but tell me just what Faca is." N. Choate explained that it is the Federal Alcohol Control Adminis- tration." The faca must be a public work in the eyes of public works admin istrator Ickes. He has just allotted 1t $500,000 Ito conduct the work of coordinating government activities pertaining to taxation control and regulating of alcohol and alcoholic beverages"
 Although prohibition has been repealed, the congressional tax hearings have yet to reveal sen- ator or representative who wants to state in public that he knows any. thing about liquor from personal experience.
 Their discussions of various bev- erages aways are preceded by such qualifications as From what I've been told" or "As it is described to | me-"

No German Boycott

Oswald Garrison Willard. contributing editor of The Nation, told college faculty the other day that world boycott of Ger man goods should be called, Ito stem the growing dangers of Hitlerism.'
 Some of those professors, or else Mir Vil- lard's editor-in-chief. should take him quietly to one side and tell him that is very bad advice. First because we have no bus mess stirring up German boycott. Second. because it would have an opposite effect to the one intended
 It was Germany's "delusion of persecu- tion,' developed by foreign encirclement and domestic propaganda. that reused her people to the madness of the World War. When they were convinced that the world was against them, they undertook to fight their way out. That their fears were less than half true doesn't matter. The im- portant fact is that they believed their fears were altogether true.
 Under Hitler they have been driven again pretty far toward the same delusion. If what Caesar called "teutonic fury were aroused again as it would be by world boycott. Europe would become slaughter house again.

It Served We'll

Once again will Waterbdry's unem- ployed undoubtedly give thanks to the for tune that brought Franklin D. Roosevelt to the White House. Under the civil works program which removes all able-bodied men from the payrolls of locally operated aid funds and gives them decent weeks pay. x new era, brighter outlook on life looms for them. perhaps for the first time in four years
 With such plans, as the civil works ad- ministration materializing, the President is seen in the light of determination to carry on the banner of recovery. It IS his most striking blow. Consider this city. Six hundred men will be removed from the Mu tual Aid Fund and given wages almost three times the rate they were receiving.
 Let us hope the nationally-operated pro- gram will carry through to the end for which it is intended. That when the Fed eral Government funds begin to dwindle the nation will have reused itself from the dol- drums and industry can once more call back to- work the thousands who are on Uncle Sans payroll. This should be the best Christmas gift Franklin Roosevelt could have extended to the unemployed.

Scholarly Government

''We are rapidly breaking down the old American tradition that the educated man is out of touch with the practical man" says Professor Raymond Moey, former brain truster" and present magazine editor To day they are developing mutual respect. It behooves the academic man to get over his feeling of inferiority and assert himself wig orously in public affairs
 sThe academic man. he points out. has . two valuable qualities to apply to political life. He IS disnterested. and he takes broad view. If he also holds to reality, and avoids the scholarly vices of dogmatism and cynicism. he may help much in government.
 eThe truth of these claims is evident. And tEe public is losing its distrust of scholars. Never in our history have there been so many learned specialists helping in the oper- ation of our government. Some old-fash- toned. practical politicians and business men resent them, but there seems to be general feeling that they are useful and necessary.
 1t could hardly be otherwise, at a time when government has to embrace so many new activities in the fields of politics, eco- monies and morals. Every private business now requires highly educated experts How much more then, the far more complex and business of government?

Suggestions Prove Aid

asWhen Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the Supreme Court of Errors urged the courts of the state to show more leniency ia foreclosure actions he perhaps did not realize the effect his remarks would have. However, in the week following his sugges- ton statistics of the Home Owners Loan Corporation for the entire state showed that such actions dropped off 50 per cent. That's certainly encouraging Would that other remarks of our Chief Justice would have similar effect. We refer particu- latly to his oft-repeated plea for reforma- tion in our county jail system.
 But just what did Chief Justice Maltbie Say a few weeks ago that might cause our spurts to pause moment before finding for Saintiff or defendant in a foreclosure sfion. Space would not permit us to re- pfint all his statement but in word or two we can summarize 1t. He urged first

"Phooey," Yourself!

When we boasted rather proudly some days ago about Waterbury's state leadership in democratic circles. we didn't expect to be taken to task in quite the way the esteemed editor of the esteemed Meriden Journal did. Evidently he doesn't agree with what we say, although there is an admittanee on his part that Waterbury did show to better ad- vantage than Bridgeport and Hartford in it's recent elections. We must hold you to that. Mir Editor.
 In addition we will take time out to ae- quaint him with the fact that our boards of aldermen and education are controlled by the democrats and have been for many long year now. In addition to that there are no republican officials in this city other than those demanded by law. We refer to the seleetmen. registrars of voters consta- bles etc. as did the editor of the Meriden Journal. There aren't any republican office holders here endorsed by democrats It's the other way round over on this side of the mountains
 As for our claim we still stick to it. Wa terbury has consistently displayed democrat ic tendencies and if this is due to Some very smart politicians, why so much the better for them. However, there are those who think otherwise about it. We've heard it said, too, that the smartest democratic politician in the state lives in Meriden. We hope this is true. for we happen to know the gentleman in question and admire him very much indeed. We still insist, though, that despite his presence in Meriden, Wa terbury has something on the rest of the state. SO far as turning out for the demo- cratic party is concerned.

of sll that every consideration bs given to the property owner SO that his poHsssion of home would not be endangered. He also spoke for the rights of the mortgage in the matter. He referred to the legal means of protecting the interests of both.
 These are not normal times in which we are living. We are hopeful. though. that ere long they will be. But in the meantime we must exercise to the fullest extent all the means at our command to make living con- ditions for everyone endurable. This can only be done by the closest cooperation be- tween the working man and the unemployed. And when we speak of the working man we mean both employe and employer. It has been unfortunate of recent years that the epitome of many a mans life - his home = has been lost. Usually it has been due simply to the fact that wages and salaries have dropped to the point where the financ- ing of the house became impossible. Chief Justice Maltbie in urging us to protect our home owners speaks in the behalf of tn: backbone of the nation.

Door-to-Door Freight

Another innovation illustrates the revival in railroad enterprise. The Pennsylvania ob- tains permission to try the store door" sys- tenn of handling freight in less than carload lots. The railroads own trucks will call for the good sat the shippers place of busi- ness It will also deliver them to the con- signee, instead of handling them only from station to station as has been the custom Moreover, it will perform this service free within range of 260 miles, charging q small fee beyond that distance for collection and delivery.
 Here is obviously move to meet the competition of independent truck lines, which have been taking much of the railroads small shipment business. It aims to improve the quality of the service rendered by the rail lines themselves. It may win back lost bus mess and good will. If the experiment suc- ceeds. it will naturally spread to other lines.

Some sort of an agreement permitting our liquor laws to give more leeway to druggists should be made. Giving the drug stores the same status as a package store isn't quite fair to all concerned, we think. While there may be justiiable complaint about the law as regards the hours of sale for drug gists under the control act. still this is mat ter to which the druggists themselves had given heed You really can't expect drug gists to compete with package stores and yet observe the same hours. The control boards interpretation of the law may be correct. but at the same time it obviously places them in competition with group against whom most druggists can't possibly com pete

PRISON LABOR
(Hartford Times)

Warden Reed of the Connecticut state prison is not the only penal institution authority in the United States who will find his problems materially increased with the im- position of new MIRA restrictions. These restrictions are designed like the Hawes- Cooper act, effec- tive next year, to prevent compe- tition between free and convict labor, a matter which has been agitated for many years both by organized labor and by organized industry.
 The MIRA theory has been that it is better that convict labor should be idle than that free labor should be idle. This theory has much to arouse sympathetic interest but it also presents a problem.
 The matter of employing prison labor is not, altogether at least, to lessen the cost of operating pris- ons. The primary reason for it has to do with morale and discipline and the mental and physical state of prisoners. Men kept in idleness in prison become morose and un- ruly and tend to break mentally. Employment is a safety valve for
