Here's Beautiful And Moving Novel
By BRUCE CAPTION

One of the nice things about re- viewing books is that once in blue moon you run across a book that Is perfect of its kinda book which you can recommend in the strongest terms you know how to use.
 Such a book Is James Hilton's little novel, Goodbye, MT Chips!"
 It Is a short novel-hardly more than a long short story-and the tale 1t tells is of the simplest. But It is little gem.
 It tells about retired English schoolmaster a gentle, white haired old chap who has spent all his life In the teaching of boys and who, in his retirement, takes lodg- ings across the street from his old school so that he can keep his con- tact with them.
 He has become sort of un- official school institution. He has the lads in for tea, by ones and twos and threes, almost every day in the school year, he takes pains to keep pink walnut cake In his cupboard for them.
 And the story simply tells how. in the sunset of his life, he looks Dach ou HIS puSt-oH HIS youtn, his long life of service, his wife. who died with their only son half a century ago: on the war. and tho boys he knew who were killed ir 1t: and on the long procession of boys. decade after decade, who have drifted into his life and then drifted out again, taking some- thing with them and also leaving something exceedingly precious.
 And so, at last, he dies. And . friend by his bed remarks that 1t is pity the old gentleman never had any children. Dying, he hears, rouses himself, chuckling, to pro- test-"Oh. yes, have thou sands of 'em all boys

Washington, July 16-General Hugh Samuel Johnson, sensitive, bull-doZing boss of the Blue Eagle, is yielding his scepter, but he is abdicating in his own way.
 That is the chief significance of what has been transpiring be- hind the scenes the past several weeks.
 As early as May, Johnson be- gan privately discussing with staff executives plans for Q com plete reorganization of adminis- trative control. Codification was rapidly drawing to a close. It was only a matter of few months before the work of the MIRA would become almost en- tirely administrative instead of creative.
 No man knew this better than Johnson.
 The question then arose, how would this best be done-by a single ruler, or a commission.
 On this issue personal ele- ment was injected.
 Wholly aside from the merits of a one or five-man command, there was the matter of John- sons highly touchy pride.
 It was this factor that kept him grimly trying to ride hard on a job that was no longer pos sible for one man to handle and which was knocking him groggy with fatigue and exhaustion.
 Johnson just could not see a successor stepping into his place.
 And he was afraid that if he got out the president would ap- point some one else to take over the job. HANGING ON
 So, while friends began to fear for his health, he hung on long enough to work out plan for commission control. The presi- dent wanted to initiate the reor- ganiZation before he sailed.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona is predict ing that in few more years the tariff will forever cease to be political issue It never should have been one, of course, but unfortunately our major political parties secured many of their adherents from re- spective stands on the tariff. Of recent years democrats could not be character ized as favoring tariff for revenue only, while republicans demanded a tariff for protection. The lines crossed too often. The Roosevelt policy of reciprocity in ne- gotiating tariffs is bound to produce re- suits.

It's going to be quite entertaining to listen to the radios in our village taverns now. The liquor control commission has placed music on the black list for taverns. Therefore radios must be shut off when they blare forth music or else turned to some program where there is ony speak ing. It will be much easier to remove the radio completely than to attempt to offer programs like that to patrons all day and all evening. The law seems to be specific along these lines, so we presume the con- mission can do more than interprt it in such fashion. However, we'd never com- plain about tavern entertainment if it was merely the strains issuing from radio. Of course if it ran into the wee hours of the night just complaint should be lodged.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-16

Maybe radio listeners wouldn't get so mad if broadcasters cut out the entertain ment altogether and gave them solid con- mercial ballyhoo, because then they wouldn't be fooled.

FEW HUNTERS
ARE EXPECTED
OUT FIRST DAY
MONDAY Declared Bad Day
for Opening - Deer
High in Mountains

From all indications, first-day
deer hunters are to be few.in num-
Der this year, according to local
hardware merchants. No hunting
parties who definitely plan to go
out Monday have been reported as
yea.
Several reasons are given for the
lack of interest For one thing
the weather is not of the best, be-
ing rather unsettled at the present
time. Also, Monday is not a very
good day for local business men
to go hunting, and it is not ex-
pected that nearly as many Will
get out for the first day this year
as there were last year, when the
season opened on Sunday.
Criticism of the opening date is
principally based on the thesis
that it is too early in the year.
Deer are said to be very high in
the hills at the present time, and
sentiment is largely for a later
opening date, possibly about Sep
TENDER 1, when they start drifting
down nearer sea level for the win
ter.

PEDESTRIANS WILL
GET PREFERENCE ON
PERSEVERANCE ROAD

The "P er S e verance road" on
which an ECW crew has been en-
gagged in rehabilitation and i'm
provement work for several months,
viii be restricted to pedestrians for
most of the distance, it was an
nounced today by Wellman Hol-
brook, Assistant Regional Forester.
Vehicular traffic will be possible
only to the n-around and park
ing space below Cape Horn.
The trail is too narrow above
there to justify its use for auto
Mr.. Holbrook said. While
it would be possible for cars to
negotiate it, the narrow space
would make it dangerous to pedes-
trians were vehicles allowed to
use it.
To prevent cars from operating
over the restricted section, six-inch
iron pipes will be used as a bar
ricade. Three of these will be
erected on concrete bases sunk in
the ground. These posts will be
next Monday. At the
end of the section open for We
hicles, there will be space for six
or more cars to park and room TO
turn around, Mr. Holbrook said
