 NATIONAL THEATER
 No matter what happens thls fall, it looks as if Eddie Bowling, close comedian friend of the president, would be in the very thick of tho show business,
 Eddie has collaboratcd with Vincent Astor, New York New Dealer, to take over his St James thcatcr. Meanwhile Inc Is eonspiring with Rhode Island politicos to get into the great. est show on earth - the United States senate.
 And last week he was here in the capital talking with the So- viet ambassador and with Harry Hopkins and Jesse Jones, on na- tional backing for tho thcater.

 Eddie proposed similar help for the American theatcr. He told Jesse Jones, cXAr of the REC, that the government had been lending money to banks, railways, industry, it was now time to come across for art.

A Book a Day
Recalls Fatal Day Just 20 Years Ago
By BRUCE CAPTION

June 2s brought the goth anni- versary of the murder of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo-the political assassina- ton which, unexpectedly enough, sent all tho world to war.
 There are various ways of ob- serving this anniversary, one of them being in the Biblical fash lon, with sackcloth and ashes. If you don't care to go to that ex- treme, I suggest that you read Bruno Brehm's novel, "They Call It Patriotism"
 This book, originally published two years ago, Is being reissued to mark the anniversary; and its ap- pearance is apt, because 1t is the story, thinly fictionized, of that murder.
 The story begins away back in 1903, when fanatical Serbian army officers murdered their own king and queen to get more patriot ic" dynasty on the throne. It con- tinues down through the years, tracing the doings of these fren- zied Serbs, who sought to build a greater kingdom out of their own land, and the Serbian minorities in the Austrian empire; and 1t shows just why Franz Ferdinand's death was necessary to them, and how 1t was brought about.
 Princip himself, who fired the fatal shots, is here, and all his half-crazed co-conspirators. And 1t makes weird picture-these idealists who acted from lofty mo- lives and who succeeded in causing the deaths of something like 10,- 100000 men.
 Patriotism! It. was what ailed all Europe. in 1914; an exaggerat- ed and minimizing emotion that possessed every people and brought about the worlds sreatest catastrophe.
 One can hardly wonder if Herr Brehm suggests that this thing called patriotism K less than perfect light to steer by.
 The book Is being published by Little. Brown and Co, at S2.bO.

worries begin and end in this small space. Some day good solution will be found. It won't be in the total elimination of the trolley track. That's only minor diff culty to-day with service considerably cur-' tailed. The real problem is in the proper use of what streets we now boast. We really can't build new ones at this stage of the game. Therefore careful routing of traffic is the thing to consider.

Let We'll Enough Alone

Socialists in Connecticut, and this term should not be confused with the old mean ing of Socialist, are anxious that Mayor Jasper McLevy preserve intact his reputa- tion of running for governor on their ticket this fall as he has done so many times in the past. Just as often as he was proposed for mayor of the Park City, so was he named to head the Socialists state ticket, to-. Now he is mayor of Bridge port, elected on the Socialist ticket last year in convincing fashion, and friends are doubly anxious that he seek the gov ernorship
 We're inclined to think that the Bridge port mayor will be canny enough to let well enough alone. He's mayor of big industrial city. Why seek to change his political status? It is quite apparent that Mayor McLeVy may run up substantial majorities in Bridgeport, but the same condition is not apt to prevail throughout the state. He'd be biting off too much rope if he attempted to seek state honors while having many problems to solve right where he is now.
 That's the trouble with most officials and their official advisers in this state. It occurs in all the parties. No sooner does man find himself elected to office, then along comes somebody to tell him how easy it will be to win another position. One job done well is fine recommendation for promotion to higher honors, but too many of our officials are seeking to advance themselves before serving the necessary apprenticeship. And there are too many who want to hold several offices at one and the same time. That's not fair to the state or to the party. We doubt if Mayor McLevy will see eye to eye in this latest move to nominate him for governor.

It's more than 30 years ago now that Connecticut experimented with tree plant ing on marginal lands. This fact was brought out at forestry meeting last Sat urday in the Rainbow Forest Plantation, Windsor. "In 1900 the station (Connect- cut Agricultural Experiment Station) pur- chased about 100 acres of land in Windsor and East Granby at very low price be- cause the soil was too poor to be used for field crops. Dr F. H. Jenkins, then direc- planting the land with trees to be used for experimental and commercial purposes and to-day a vast forest, containing at least ten kinds of pines, spruce, black To- cust, larch, fir birch, oak, ash, beech, ca talpa, cottonwood, and basswood has grown up...." That'd be enough for any mans forest we'd say. There can't be many more varieties than this.

Kenneth Wynne, executive secretary to Governor Wilbur L. Cross, participated in the formal exercises accompanying the breaking of ground for the Merritt High way on the western or Greenwich end. This event took place Saturday and was gala occasion for Fairfield county. AL though the State Highway Department has been bending over backwards in it's ef- forts to keep up its reputation by doing bits of. this express route here and there the flood of criticism from the Fairfield county residents has never provoked the action that has been demanded. People down in the southwestern part of the state don't believe in tackling this road project in the way it has been and probably will continue to be. They want it all done in one fell swoop. But unfortunately the Highway Department has no funds for such procedure and must build bit here and bit there as the funds permit. If the road had been decreed toll highway it could be approaching completion right now But that, to our way of thinking, would be the only kind of highway that would permit the expenditure of ten or fif- teen millions at one time and for one lone road.

The second largest tunnel in the world has just been opened at Boston, Mass. It runs under Boston harbor and brings clos CT together Boston proper and East Bos- ton. Work was started on it in March, 1881. New York's Holland tunnel is slightly longer than Boston's. Everything will be all right now until the motorists using the tunnel decided that the toll charge is too nigh.

CAN THE SMALL TOWN SURVIVE ?

Every day hears some business bewail the
future of the Small Town What the reasoning back of
forth the major complaint people do not patronize the
small town merchants" All right Why? Are the people
themselves blame must place the charge at the
door of the merchant?
the residents buy within the municipality Why do
people feel that goods must be inferior if they sold in
the small town? Why will people drive ten twelve miles
to the city to make purchases sometimes very small
when they could get approximate values at home?
Small town merchants must learn the worth of
sse advertising. Say what you may the reputation of
every worthwhile firm has been built upon advertising
placed noticeaby and consistently dollar spent for
great deal of the blame for any town going into the
dumps must be placed the shoulders of the business
themselves
AS for buying the citizens of the small town
must realize that the merchants and business pay the
bulk of the taxes and most directly responsible for
the ITSELF The least do is to buy from them
whenever possible Your home town has bargains Your
merchants mostly responsible men, with experience and
taste Every small town has stores selling merchandise
comparable to both quality and price with the
chandse of the large city.
BUY AT HOME AND WATCH YOUR COMMUNITY
GROW. Buy abroad and your community gradually
stagnate and decay. There two ways about it.
Either you want to your town flourish else you do
not give hoot Are you dedicated to progress
Of those persons who chroncaly complain Of your
neighborhood and kick every little thing which
doesn't exactly agree with your attitude toward life? Re
member this world is made up of all kinds of people. We
must give and take every time make STEP You may
not like Mr. X-I may not not for Mr. Y-but these
in business in community It is up to all of
to help the town along by helping its business ins
buttons.
You do not drive to the nearest city Sunday to
hear outoftown preacher You do send your children
school outside of the community Why then buy abroad
Why deliberately hurt your towns future by ignoring it's
business establishments?
