The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-20

Another theme song difficult ty has cropped up in New York. This time it's a $5O,OOO suit against Buddy Rogers by Bud Shays, band leader. The song involved is My Buddy, the Gus Kahn-Walter Donald son ditty, which Shays claims was adopted by Rogers after he had used 1t himself for sev- cral years. Bud says that Buddy's use of the same theme should be worth the 50 thou sand.

PART-TIME FARMERS
PREVALENT IN IOWA
DR.. Wakely, State College Sociol-
ogist, Declares Homestead
ers Are Permanent.

AMES, Iowa UP.-Tilling the soil
of Iowa's fertile fields these days is
a new crop of agriculturists-the part
time farmers.
Situated on outskirts Of cities on
patches averaging eight acres, the
part-time farmers or subsistence
homesteaders came with the depres-
sion, and they're here to stay, says
DR.. Ray E. Wakely, Iowa State Col
lege sociologist.
He has concluded survey of part
time farming activities in seven typ
ical" Iowa cities-Waterloo, Dubuque.
Centerville, Cedar Rapids, Oskaloosa.
OttumTa and Burlington.
DR.. Wsi1ely bases his belief In the
permanency OF the part time farm
movement or the fact chat his sur
vey SHOWS that the average invest.
ment of these Homestead groups Is
$2.838.
However, the part-time farmers de-
pend on ether pursuits for the larger
part Of their incomes, DR.. Wakely
ssys. In most instances they are en-
ployed in city factories and till then
fields In spare ho3rs.
But they have become so enam-
ored OF their new SURROUNDINGS, DR.
Wakely believes. that not even q re-
turn OF widespread prosperity would
drive them back to city fats.

neck. The drabness Of the late after
noon penetrated the very depth OF his
being. His thoughts grew in their
perplexity until they had driven the
last small measure Of endurance from
him.
He'd not 60 home. He'd slip of to
Carmel by the sea and visit Sidney,
his artist friend who kept little
apartment in that gay colony OF wor-
shippers of freedom and art. Even the
sidewalks with their colored cement
and queer modernistic designs seemed
to proclaim that there was life not
paraueled by that Of any other place.
Sidney and his friends seemed
carefree crowd, not altogether moral,
perhaps, but gay, yes, and free. There
one wasn't harried mornings by a
shrieking alarm that meant that the
7:30 suburban electric would be due
in half an hour, and that always and
forever Office hours began at 8.
He'd call Janice and tell her he
must 20 to San Francisco to care for
some Of the firms business. Better
a good lie than a poor TRUTH" he
thought. Perhaps at Sidney's he'd
discover what was the matter with
himself, and with his portion Of life.
He stepped briSkly toward the rail-
way station that was just an hours
ride from the respite that he began
to anticipate so eagerly. A softly
lighted florists window attracted his
attention. There were pots of Spring
flowers, hyacinths, tulips and jonquils.
White hyacinths. Janice's favorite
flower. He had got them for her
birthdays, their anniversaries and the
two times that she had been in the
hospital enduring agonizing pains of
childbirth, that they might have their
solemn, steady, sturdy son, and happy,
singing Mary Ann. Johns conscience
made futile effort to reproach him.
On seat In the waiting room sat
a young mother with two small chill
dren-about the size of Sonny and
Mary Ann. They looked as though
they might have been there several
hours. The girl was asleep with her
head in her mothers lap. Several
large, bulging bags sat on the floor
beside them. The mother looked tired.
Janice's face, as he had left her that
morning. rose before him. She had
looked tired in spite of an always
ready smile. The children kept her
at home rather closely. Perhaps he
hadn't been as cheerful of late as he
used to be. He, should have stayed
with the children more often and let
Janice slip out a bit.
The station was crowded with a
homeward- bound throng of workers
and shoppers. A group of chattering
girls passed. Then q group of Boy
Scouts In uniform. They we're only a
