Florists Protest

/ Webster defines florist as q cultivator or dealer in ornamental plants and flow CTS. The Connecticut Association of Florists meets in Hartford next Tuesday to discuss what 1t regards as unfair com petition In other words legitimate deal- CTS object to flowers, plants, shrubbery, trees, and the like being sold by anybody save bona fide florist. It must be ape parent to everybody of recent years that flowers can be bought at more places than the greenhouse or the flower shop.
 We presume it is against such unre- strained trade that the florists now pro- pose to take action. They hope to enlist the aid of the Legislature next spring. If we're not mistaken similar effort was made in 1883 to have the Legislature pass laws regulating sale of flowers, plants, etc As we recall it nothing ever came of this first effort to control the trade. Perhaps with more insistence there may be a kick back next spring.
 According to one story going around the state there may be attempted system of licensing. Also fees would be based Tn the number of feet in the licensees green house. Such scheme would eliminate en- tirely a great many legitimate flower stores that buy from other greenhouses, but do not maintain one of their own. And there are a number of flower growers who do not engage in the retail business : at all. It would seem as if this angle would have to be strengthened out first. The great problem to the onlooker would be to regulate the trade itself. Ger tainly the merchants who today offer flowers and shrubs at certain periods of the year must obtain the same from legitl- mate raisers of flowers to be able to sell in the quantity they do and at the prices. Therefore, the problem lies in keeping the trade within it's own confines, namely, florists must be cultivators or dealers in flowers, etc.

More Parks Sought

There has been steadily increasing demand in Waterbury for more parks and playground facilities of recent months. We recall three distinct pleas One is an old story. We have no adequate athletic field for our three high schools, not to mention the grammar schools. Although efforts were made some years back to raise funds for the purchase and con- struction of such public spot it failed of its objective. Today we are still plagued by the necessity of ultimately providing one.
 In addition to that the people of Brook z lyn have borne with the city officials for years in the matter of a park. It is one of the older sections of the town, yet 1t does not boast a park. It's lone playground is that maintained at Duggan school, quite insufficient for the entire juvenile popu- lation of Brooklyn. True Chase Park does afford an outlet on one end of the region, but Chase Park must also cater to the West Side Hill and Bunker HiIl sec- 2 tions, too.
 Bunker Hill has finally managed to secure the beginning of what may some day be one of the city's outstanding parks . andplaygrounds. It is certainly not to be expected that such sections as Brooklyn will decrease it's efforts to obtain simi- lar improvement. Now Commissioner Lawrence Kenny of the board of Public Works is active in 6 movement to provide . playground for the Fairlawn Manor ter- ritory. That is large and growing sec- ton. It embraces land all the way from East Main to Meriden Road.
 If our city officials heed all these de- fnands they may be forced to dip deeply into city coffers that right now probably can't stand new or unexpected expendl- lures. We wouldn't want the city to be- come park poor, but we do think that de- velopment of our park system will never be regretted. And we feel sure that the time to expand is when prices are low enough to warrant purchasing land. We have been fortunate in the past to receive outright grants of land. We must expect to invest some money eventuallyin land for recreational purposes Whether this is the opportune moment depends on many cir. cumstances beyond control. We can't naturally put aside relief of human suf- fering for such civic development.

are unable to stop of their accord.
 So far has this madness gone that Paf- aRuay recently announced complete sus- pension of the accepted rules of civilized warfare, on the ground that Bolivia was dlsregardinR them. There is a complete return to savagery, which can be checked only by mutual extinction or by outside compulsion.
 This new American policy of fighting war by starving 1t out through deprivation of the means of fighting, may go far. Eventually we and other nations may rise to the policy preached quarter of cen. tury ago by Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and may establish world police force to suppress such fights. But that is far in the future.

Aviation Boom

American aviation turns out not to be ruined, after all, by the temporary black eye it got in the air mail ghake.up. One of the country's leading airports reported on May 26 total of 32,614 passengers arrived or departed since the first of the year, against HOPS last year, gain of 50 per cent. Recent passenger traffic has been averaging 400 day, indicating that the 1888 total of nearly 100000 for the year will probably be doubled this year.
 Meanwhile the air express traffic has made the astonishing gain of 300 per cent over last year. One of the experts was apparently right when he announced, two years ago, that the next big jump in avia- tion would be in the express service. Small, important, lightweight goods will be whirled about the country as rapidly as people. Never has freight, anywhere, had such handling. This, too, will help bust. ness in general.

Starving Mars

While representatives of the world powers talk endlessly at Geneva for limi- tation of armament as way to peace, America has taken practical move alone which makes a great forward step By ordering stoppage of military exports to Bolivia and Paraguay, under congressional authority, the President has launched policy which, if followed by other indus trial powers, will quickly stop that war and establish precedent for future wars.
 Americans, while deprecating the South American conflict, have been somewhat
 inclined to regard it as small distinct and unimportant war. The fact is that in two years those two little nations have had as many men killed as the United States had in the World War. ThG are bled white. They are in the position. of two men SO crazcd with fight that they

Postmaster General James Farley has assured Senator Augustine Lonergan that a special commemorative stamp for Con- necticut will be issued next year, advices from Washington say. The stamp will commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the state. The bill au- thorizing issuance of such stamp has already passed the Senate and is assured of passage by the House before Congress adjourns this year. This will mean that has practically one whole year in which to prepare a suitable design for our tercen- tenary stamp. We hope that it will be one to be remembered for years in phila- telic circles.

We wonder If J. Henry Roraback will consider seriously the plans to make him national chairman of the republican party. While he has consented right along to di- rect the destinies of his party in this state he has never seemed to have any l0ngings or desides to become too prominently identified with the national party other than in the role of the man behind the scenes. He occupies that position right now. He will probably be one of the two or three republicans who will pick the successor to Everett Sanders, One-time secretary to the late Calvin Coolidge. They do say that the new chairman will indi- cate to some extent the man toward whom the republicans are going to choose to head the national ticket in 1936. It would be hard to say offhand whom MT Rora' back would pick right now.

Dedication ceremonies at the new Sea- side Sanatorium for children at Water ford will be held June 12 with Governor Cross participating, according to inf0r" nation just given out by Dr Stephen J. Maher of New Haven, chairman of the state tuberculosis commission. The c0m- pletion of this retreat for children from the ages of two to twelve for the treat. ment of bone and glandular tuberculosis, marks distinct advance in such work in Connecticut. It also marks the end of q tempestuous period in the history of the Seaside Sanatorium. It may be recalled that this institution was formerly located at Mantle. Some years ago the state acquired an old wooden summer hotel and converted 1t into a sanat0rlun1. There was fine expanse of seashOre with the site which made 1t particularly attractive for ts purpose. As time passed 1t be. came necessary to expand. To do so meant acquisition of adjacent land Negotiations with the owner, the heirs t0 the McCo0k estate, failed The state condemned the land by legislative action. The Supreme Court declared the statute and many others invalid. A special legislative ses- sion was called. Resistance still being met the state transferred the sanatoriunn to Waterford, not far distant, and the new building is now ready for dedication and occupancy.

How about the child at home whose mother ts forced to work? What consideration is he getting in this land of liberty and justice to all. 1 am speaking of those noble mothers who work in shifts. Choose any shift you like and there isn't one of them that are in practice that bodes good for the welfare of any child in this cate- gOry.
 Most Of the factories that run a double shift usually start the first one at a. m. and run until z:3O D. m. The next one starts at z:3O and runs to about Il ?. m..

 Some may argue that the condi. tions don't affect everyb0dy'e chil. dren. Certainly not because 0f the fact that those that make our chii- dren suffer couldn't stand to have theirs share the same fate.

Some day there shall be . reckoning and if had the choice I'd much rather be among the abused than the abusers.
 Nevertheless the fact remains that the condition exists and that we take steps to secure some Iegis- lation to affect an abolishment of night work for women, married or single. This condition to my mind is the most damnable piece of harm and injustice that was ever allowed in our country.
