Naugatuck, Dec. 2s.--Friends oi Atty. Henry Freeman are booming him for the appointment to the judkeship of the borough court in Naugatuck which will be made during the coming session of the state general assembly, 1t Wal learned today. Clarennont I. Tolles is the present judge.
 Local democrats feel confident g democrat will get the post this year. The appointment comes be- fore both the house, which is re- publican, and the senate, in which the democrats expect to have con- trJl. If there is a split, that is, If the. house or lower body should vote against the nominee and the senate vote for him the matter would go to Governor Wilbur l., Cross, democrat, to decide.
 It is still early but talk concern- ing the possible appointee is be- ing heard in town. As far as is known Atty. Freeman is the only candidate mentioned thus far but it will be surprising if no more candidates turn up. It is assumed Judge Tolles will seek reappoint- ment.
 The recommendation for the nominee usually comes from the town committee and the two rep resentatiyes. Rep. Willim F. Mo Derpiott is known to be favora ble to Judge Freeman. Just who Rep. Joseph Jackson will favor is not definitely known as yet.
 Local democrats will probably try to have democrats named to the positions of clerk of the court and also to the, office of probation officer. Last yeaf it will be recalled it was expected new appointments would be made to these positions but none was announced by the judge. Democrats were disappoint- ed and this year hope to see a diff ferent situation.
 It is expected friends of Atty Freeman will start an active cam paign in his behalf soon.

OBJECTS TO PARKING
TRAITS OF TRUCK DRIVERS

By r. E. 7.
The law which forbids moving
vans, trucks and other vehicles from
blocking traffic by backing up to
curbs to discharge or take on a load
should be enforced to the fullest eX-
tent to prevent accidents.
This situation is a very dangerous
one to the Indianapolis motorist,
and could be improved greatly by
only a little attention from our tax
paid police.
1 have known several instances
where moving vans have backed up
to curbs on narrow streets, making
it impossible for machines to pass.
Instead of operators of these We
hicles giving the motorist a little
consideration, when asked to move
their trucks on a narrow street to
let traffic through, they curse and
20 right ahead with their work and
let the motorist get through or turn
around the best way he can.
No only is this situation incon-
venient for automobile owners, but
also endangers lives. I have noticed
trucks parked cross-ways Of the
street late at night without any
sign of a light whatever.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-23

holes, and I sincerely thank the
street railway company.
A great many of these places re-
main, however, and I still think
that the company should repair this
spot permanently.
Another thing regarding this is
the advertisements which the rail-
way company places on the rear
of it's cars. The latest one I have
noticed is, Don't follow this car;
ride it,"
1 don't know just where these
brilliant sayings come from but al
ways have surnlised that the COM
pany requires its employees to
think of an idea every so often.
My idea of this latest saying is
that one of the company's employees,
probably a motorman on one Of the
West Washington street cars, living
somewhere on the west side, beyond
Tibbs avenue, drives to and from
work and has found it is an impos-
sibility to follow one Of the cars,
due to the roughnesS of the center
of the street.
One other thing, and one that l
think rightfully should be closely
watched by the police department,
is the fact that the new cars, which
seem able to operate with opened
doors, violate rules in discharging
passengers.
Many times in battling the bumps
of West Washington street have I
and several other drivers narrowly
missed persons hopping off the
cars before they have come to a
cOmDlete .StOD.

so wild that Indian guides usually are hired
by tenderfeet to keep them from getting lost.
It is beautiful with its thousands of lakes,
islands, rapids. If you 90 there, you must
travel by canoe but you can shoot big game
and catch bigger fish than you can describe.
Just one sentence in the joint commissions
report will give you something to think about:
1T is significant Of the times we live in
that trecreation). which was recognized insult
ficiently, so far as this particular region is
concerned, when the investigation was insti-
tuted, has since come to be regarded as an
interest of major importance on both sides of
the international boundary"

GOOD WORK DONE

THE record made by the seventy-third con-
Il gress is one to bring a good deal of en-
couragement to all Americans who hope to
see their democratic institutions perpetuated.
When that congress convened, year ago
last March, our faith in those institutions
was probably lower than ever before. There
was widespread feeling that congress could
not possibly function efficiently in an emer-
gency; a common belief that nothing could
make it unite on program for the common
good.
The record made by the seventy-third con-
gress pretty well dispels that notion. 1t did
a tremendous amount of work; it kept the
national necessities IN mind with pretty con-
sStent thoroughness.
To be sure it made mistakes 1t listened
to the voice of partisan or sectional self
interest now and then. 1t INDUCED in some
loose talk. But in the main it made an eX-
ceedingly fine record.
Representative government in the United
States met and passed very grave test
during the last fifteen months.
