won the games most coveted title

last year.
However. his countryman, de-
bonair Gene Sarazen of New
York. former British and Amer
can champion, is favored to re-
capture the crown which he
dropped in st. Andrews formida-
bic bunkerS in 1888. Gene is play
ing at peak form. He showed this
during the recent L. s. Open at
Merton, Pa. when he finished sec
ond, just one stroke above DIN

Sarazen's practice rounds hare
been brilliant over the two

will be fought out during the next

Something To It

There is something to the complaint of domestic distillers of spirits over New York's labelling law. It goes into effect Januafy g.. Upon all bottles of spirits sold after that date in New York city must be plainly printed the contents and age of the whiskey. Even Dr James M. Doran, head of the National Distillers ln- stitute at Washington, felt called upon Tn his official capacity to write to New York's retiring Health Commissioner, Dr Shirley w. Wynne, pointing out the se- verity of the statute. Perhaps with the advent of a new commissioner the law will be slightly amended.
 However, we can't let this opportunity slip by without pointing out that what Dr Wynne proposes is simply what others want Congress to do with regard to the sale of cosmetics drugs, and prepared foods The Tugwell bill, about to go be- fore Congress, will make it necessary for manufacturers of the same to reveal the most intimate trade secrets on the labels of their products. Can it be that the manufacturers are jealous of the ingredi- ents they use in producing whiskles?
 What we think should be stressed in enforcing the Wynne labelling law is the actual age of the whiskey. While there are great variety of blends on the mar ket today acceptable to most of us, the Opportunity is ripe for unsaddling on an tunsuspecting and gullible clientele the srankest type of adu1terated whiskles. Tests have conclusively proved this to be so. Instead of blends, which even be- fore prohibition were sold and accepted by the most exacting of drinkers, we are getting "cut" whiskey, namely, whiskey in which there is scarcely any of the original liquor, but great deal of water, ccloring matter, alcohol, etc. That isn't blend.
 Reputable merchants often are the vic tims of such substitutes, too. They accept them in good faith and naturally suffer tie consequences when irate customers transfer their business elsewhere. We know that matured whiskey stocks are low in the United States. They will remain low for long time if the present demand continues unabated. But we do not con- slider that an excuse for public officials, notably those concerned with the health of the nation, to allow the people to be victimized. Perhaps Dr. Wynne leaned over backward in his zeal to protect the health of the nations largest city from interruptions dealers. If he did, it was in a worthy interest. New York may assume a more lenient attitude towards produc- tion of blended whiskies, but it can't help but see the wisdom of it's retiring health commissioner stand

HISTORY

The house next above that of Thomas Welton was Ebeneazer Richardson's, and was known for two generations as the Esquire John Buckingham place." Dr. John Warner came from Stratford and built house across from Richard sons before 1724. Samuel Thomas house was on the main Watertown road just below the cross road that comes from Bunker Hill to the Wa tertown road and known at one time as the road to Watertown by James Browns"
 Other families that settled in this locality were Samuel Judd (be- tween the forks of Turkey Brook which enters Steele's brook at Oak ville), Stephen Scott's, Eleazer Scott's, who lived opposite St. Johns Roman Catholic church. and other members of the Scott family. Jonathan Scott later moved across the valley to Reynolds Bridge, buying the farm of Ebe- fleazer Richardson who decided to go out Middlebury way. The house was the site of the red house so long known as the Reynolds home- stead. The Society of Westbury (Watertown) was incorporated in 1739 with about thirfy-seven fami- lies. In 1739 John Trumbull, a graduate of Yale college, was in- vited to take charge of their church. He bought from Obadiah Scott, in 1740, for 300 pounds the land on which his house was built on the western slope of Hickox Hill on the road from Westbury to Bucks Hill. Later he built a house below Cranberry brook. The Parish of Westbury was incorporated in 1738.

Subsistence Farming

When the administration set aside S25, 5,OO0, 900 to experiment on subsistence, farms, it started something the finish of which is a matter for the seventh son of a seventh son.
 None of the New Deals experiments IS more interesting than this one; few of them have more completely unpredlctabe consequences The fact that the eXperl. ment is beginning to prove enormously popular indicates that we may bump into those consequences lot sooner than we expect.
 The idea is to set up colonies of small homes each surrounded by warden suf- ficient to provide it's owner with most of his foodstuffs. Occupants of such homes would hold jobs in industry; some would wor kin coal mines, some in factories, and 50 on.
 The jobs would give them their income and the gardens would give them ther food; if an industrial slump cut their jobs out from under them, they at least could keep on eating regularly until things picked up again.
 That's the program. Now it develops that the government is being over whelmed with regular flood of demands for subsistence farms. The director of the project already has received applica- tions which, if granted, would run the cost of the experiment up to $4,OOO,O ,OOO,- 900. Letters are coming in at the rate ot 1000 day.
 Here is pathetcaly eloquent testimony to the forgotten mans fear of insecurity, and also to his dislike of ordinary urban life. Furthermore, it is pretty fair in- dication that there will be plenty of sen timent in Congress in favor of extending the scope of the whole project.
 These applicants are voters; you can depend on it that their congressman are hearing from them.
 We are likely then, to hear more rather than less of the subsistence farm idea in the future. And it is high time for us to figure out just where such program would lead us if it were expanded greatly.
 Would 1t as some critics say-estab- fish an American peasantry? Would lt depress industrial wages and cut agri- cultures markets? Would 1t s0lidify the population in such way as to diminish the fluIdIty of labor tO a disastrous extent?
 It might do oil those things; it mig ht do none of them. It tx up tO us t0 find out
 The best way tO find out is to try lt and sec; and that seems t0 be Just what we art going to dO--on larger scale than any Of us had expected.

The Pain And Toil
 Of An Artists Life

Few of life's mysteries are more profound than the one which cov- CTS the soul of the creative artist.
 The artist follows a star most of us can't even see. He can sacrifice himself pitilessly to his work, he can be lonely and "queer" and even downright mad; somehow, in an uttery incomprchensible way, he draws down the strength to create beauty and to interpret life, and he leaves the world richer place than he found it.
 This stupendous bit of solidoquiz- ing comes after reading of "Vin- cent Van Gogh," by Julius Meier Graefe.
 Van Gogh was an artist, and his life seems a perfect epitome of the isolation, the pain, and the travail of the creative worker. In all the common affairs of life he was an utter failure.
 ne reached maturity before he touched brush, he was very largely self taught, he lived throughout his life on the gener- osity of his brother, he worked himself past the limits of endur- ancc, he finally went mad and he wound up by shooting himself; and in the end he was one of the great artists of the 18th century.
 This book gives up an intimate picture of his life; and q queer, tortured life 1t was. He cut off an ear, once, wrapped it up neatly and sent it to 0 girl friend. He had vio- lent attacks that caused him to be locked up.
 He quarreled with his friends went hungry, brooded, and never once stopped working. And he gave the world some priceless possess slons.
 This account of his life is an ex- ceedlngly good one, Published by Harcourt. Brace & Co.,, it is priced at $3.

Paris Letter
By SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Stan Correspondent

Paris (UP)-The Prefect of Po- lice Jean Chiappe recently has de- clared that the moral health here is excellent.
 Responding to attacks of jour nalists Chiappe has declared that the city is most correct in the world. That is, according to reg ulations, there Is less crime, less small time robbery, fewer robbers, and in point of view of the money involved, less money stolen here than in any other capital of the world.
 Although Paris has a liberal regime for hotels and apartments. Chiappe declared that there is less violation of the social statutes than in many cities where surveillance is carried on to an extreme extent.
 Paris Still Liberal
 Paris, according to the Chief of Police, still must exercise consid- erable care in the liberty accorded to it's students and foreign resi- dents. In the Latin Quarter, the careful checking of foreigners is continuing and most of the "ex- otic" individuals are fairly well listed.
 The publicity given the French navy by the recent search for a sailor implicated in the assassina- ton of M. Oscar Dufrenne, Q prominent theatrical director. has caused the navy more odium than 1t deserved, and although many burlesques have been written on the subject of Dufrenne and the sailor, the French navy has In no way figured in any important re- cent crimes.
 Moral Health Good
 The Profect recently said:
 Paris iB n city of excellent moral health. If tt has been neees. sary recently % put Paris to cer- tain tests, we have been shown that it responded most exceilently t0 tho examinations.
 ",rho main questions which we feared, mainly gayety of tho night establishments, the bars and ehfeb, and the unlicensed fr0volity or certain debauehed night eabaretS, proved nothing in comparison 70 temptations and aHtfeme habits which VIC feared.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-02

We're bit leery about the new national park that is being proposed for Maine. Not that we don't want to see national park there. Quite the contrary. We're wondering how the federal government is going to acquire sufficient land for the purpose. As we understand it there must be minimum acreage assured before a national park can be developed. We don't know just what this size is, but it is quite large. There will have to be plenty of cooperation from Maine land owners now, because already there is opposition to the plan from timber and pulp men. And we presume that some towns will object to land on which taxes are paid or are sup posed to be paid, becoming tax exempt through government ownership. However, in the general interest fthe state it is to it's advantage to have Uncle Sam build magnificent national park to attract more summer and winter visitors.
