Dawes three children and five grand
children were on hand to greet him

Some Fun, Eh Folks?

The prospect for the Connecticut legis- lative session is enlivening. At this writ ing in the Senate the three parties repre- sented there are planning each to present a slate of candidates for officials of that body. The democrats have made their nominations already. (Do we hear any audible murmurs from the sidelinesD 50 have the Socialists. The republicans are planning to make theirs in the immediate future and several names are now being mentioned.
 The result of the democratic. caucus needs no review here, as we have no desire to precipiate an argument which thls IS sure to do. There was no difficulty among the socialists in making nominations. There are three socialist members and three positions so it was simply ques- tion of deciding who would take which. The republicans are in bit of dither over their nominations. Not enough so, though, that they will be rebuked by their ranking official now, the state chairman, U. Henry Roraback.
 {. Incidentally the republican members ot the Senate are now proclaiming very fer ,vently and piously that they are not plan- ming any deals. In view of the com motion of last week with it's lack of Christ . mas cheer they are of the opinion right now that they can actually control the Senate, as well as the House over which there won't be any argument whatsoever. However, there are still seventeen demo- crats in the Senate and it might be well . to recall that they voted solidly for Judge { Raymond J. Devlin of New Haven as pres ident pro-tempore and former State Sena- !. tor Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford as the nominee for the clerkship appointment. Our sole suggestion would be that in the event not one of the three parties can < secure a majority of the votes necessary to elect the Senate officers a compromise be effected by naming representative of each party to any three elective offices available. Failure to come to some sort of al agreement may we'll create the dead lock that threatened in 1883 and which yyas only broken on the insistence of Governor Cross himself when the formal inaugural seemed destined to await the pleasure of the Legislators.

The Pace Is Too Swift

Too many Americans proceed on the theory that life is short so i'll order to ac- complsh much in short time the Ire tempo must be substantially increased with each fleeting month. The Christmas season is usually one during which we assume fresh, sometimes even new out looks on life. It is too bad that the sur rounding circumstances this year had to be slightly out of tune. We refer to the terrible death toll throughout the United States from holiday tragedies.
 If more of us could only alter our modes of living so that we would drop out of this dizzy pace-setting race we would be far better off. This business of Keeping up with the Joneses is indeed proving that life is short. It lops years off our lives as casually as the woodsman trims the branches from the giant tree that he has just felled. We have little use for moder- ation Everything we do is usually Ill eX- cess It doesn't make for the full ana complete enjoyment of life, so desirable.
 This mad whirl of ours is not going to make our nation a better place ln Winch to live It is not going to improve, the material side of our existence one bit. What we need to do for while IS to for get the outer man for the inner man. His needs have been ignored too long. The soul cries for peace - the peace that dwelt in the hearts of many of our fore, fathers when they had carved home out of corner of American wilderness and built sound foundation for future generations
 Let everyone keep in mind that while this was most merry and joyous Christ mas for many, it was just the opposite for probably as many more. It was holiday marked by one of the highest death tolls in recent years. Attribute this startling number of deaths to what you will, we make only the one claim. If we would but make the world bit friendlier and hap pier place in which to live we might start by imposing speed limits. Check your speedometer every six months to make sure you're within the legal limit.

British Arms Probe

England, too, is interested in taking the profit out of war. There is going to be a government commission appointed to in- vestigate the arms traffic in Great Bri- tain. This is largely the result of our American inquiry. At first, the more sedate British statesmen, scandalized by the personal nature of many of the Sem aate's committees revelations, objected to starting anything of the sort for them selves. Public pressure apparently has driven them to it.
 This sort of thing is rude, to be sure, as our own munitions people and their friends and associated investors agree. But it is necessary. Some reforms cannot be accomplished gently, but only with a club. That is, in the first stages. When the public is fully informed regarding existing evils and necessary changes the reforms go over easily, by almost unan- imous agreement. We seem we'll on the road at last to such reform of the arms and munitions industry, eliminating the racketeering from the decent and essential processes.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-27

of the present system, and the argument rages on. ss
 The West Union editor has been listen ing to some of it. He goes on to say: We have heard lot of discussion lately for and against various features of the Iowa liquor law, and we generally put that question (above) to the talkies. It stops most of them; in fact, it sort of stops us"
 It would be fine plan if some wise questioner could go around popping such questions at citizens on this and other baffling public matters. It would at least set people to thinking, and it might reduce the amount of pointless and ill-informed criticism in which even sensible folk some- times indulge. No law works very long ii it is not satisfactory to majority of the voters. A reform, to be effective, must have general public support - which means the people must want it even be- fore their legislators enact the laws establishing it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-27

cause it is the seat of benefac- tions, the source of largesse. Unconsciously all men who are Outside looking in' look upon the capital as the mecca of the supreme hand-out.
 One reason for the recent in- Aux of migrants is that congress is about to convene. Word has been passed that a bonus march set for January 10, will bring not only the bonus for veterans but also social insurance legislation.
 Transient bureau and ZEBRA authorities ascribc the Organiza- tiOn of this march to commun- ists. They arc frankly worried about it, are taking steps to head 1t of. :, Veterans are being shipped out of town by the trainload to camps in Florida and New Mex ice. Non-veteran transients are being urged to go to EZRA camps such as Fort Eustis in Virginia. Keep Warm With Uncle Sam" is a slogan. They are offered food, shelter, voca- tional training, and a cash al- low of from one to three dollars weekly. :. N FAITH IN F. ID. R.
 Communist feeling among the men, however. is isolated and sporadic: Two men who have fin- ished their dinner, yield their places to others, and join a group at the stove near the door. The talk is of communism.
 Don't believe it, buddy. The reds would sell out just like the capitalists, once they got their hands on the dough"

NOTE: - During the last
 holiday season one of the Merry Go R n d authors spent some time in the bread-
 lines to gauge the spirit and the views of the unemployed. This year the same thing was attempted. Here are the re- sults:.
 Washington, Dec. 27-"Don't you have no ticket, buddy? = That's tough. They'll probably chuck you out of here. There's a bozo at the end of the line an you gotta show him your ticket. Wait a minute, listen. Stick with me an Phil, see, an when we git up there, we'll give you shove, like this, an rustic you by, see? God, a fella's gotta have some place to go for a Christmas dinner!"
 This might have been any line of men waiting for Christmas dinner at any city's transient bu- reau, except for one thing. Be- hind the man, brilliantly lighted by searchlights lOOmed the dome of the Capitol of the United States.
 Almost in it's shadow an odd assortment of men filed by some well-dressed enough to take Christmas dinner in Wash- ington's best hotels, some un- shaven and dirty. But the typical unkempt, shuffling bum-he of the artists magazine c.o V e r.. was not there. Relief has elimin- ated him.
 "All right, buddy, watch your step now" Z
 They shove their new comrade past the inspector. The rest is easy. First, q hand extended with four slices of bread. Then plate and cup, then a succession of three 'slingers, who .dextrOusly deposit upon his plate a Christ mas dinner.
 DAILY LOAD"
 Daily the ''load' at the Wash ington transient bureau is in- creasing. Each day during the past week, nearly two hundred men have signed in. The bureau faces the possibility of an acute over-population.
 The movement into Washing. ton is not simply a seasonal southerly migration. Many come from Florida, the Carolinas, Virginia.
 Phil and Archie settle them selves at table with their new friend. 5Sy
 Thanks for gettin' me in" he says.
 Don't mention it. G e e when did you wash last?"
 "Me? Two days ago. I just come in from Florida on a ''recfic."

Seventeen factories where wild fowl will be able to recondition themselves are being planned by Jay N. (Ding) Darling, noted cartoonist, who heads President Roosevelt's Bureau of Biological Survey. These factories resolve themselves into nothing more than lakes, marshes, etc. to which the birds may repair in their migra- tions. One lake, large enough to care for 500,000 ducks (we didn't think there were that many left, judging by all re- ports) has already been bought through federal funds. Before March the re- mainder in the chain of federal-owned feeding and breeding ponds will have been acquired. Quite an errand of mercy we'd call it in view of the tremendous mortality rate in the wild life of the nation of recent years. More such goes hand in glove with our progress back to normal living.
