 The large oak tree which stands directly in the center of Chase ave- nue about halfway between Homer street and Lakewood was the dlrect cause of another accident Tn the past weekend when an automobile operated by Robert Piloise, or Middlesex street. crashed lnto II on Saturday night. Exremely poor visibility caused by fog made IL impossible for MT Piloise to see the tree until too late to avoid the crash. Both he and Mrs Pilolse' who accompanied him, were pain fully injured and the car badly damaged.
 A number of accidents have oc- cured at this point and 1t Is felt that something should be done Iii connection with the removal or this highway hazard which has been permitted to remain standing for sentimental reasons. Local mo- torists are familiar with the situa- ton and are careful to avoid the tree as the road is of ample width on either side but presons untam- liar with the conditions are con- stantly suffering accidents or near accidents at that point. During one of tho seven blizzards of last win ter some out of town people sui fered severe injuries as the result of crash with the tree.

 OF (. U. ADDRESS
Dr Dom Thomas V. Moore Gives Character Study
 of Philosopher

Washington, D. c.-"self- f-expres- sion alone is inadequate as a guide for life because of it's ambiguity" Dr Dom Thomas Werner Moore, professor of psychology at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C., told a distin- guished audience at the Carlton hotel in a recent illustrated lec- ture on Dante Gabriel Rossetti. pr Moore, in presenting a character study and evaluation of Rossetti's philosophy of life, called attention to the fact that in his later life Rossetti had conceived self-expres- sion as the purpose of life and in doing so had abandoned the high ideals of his youth to a method of living dictated according to- his emotions.
 Commenting further upon this philosophy of self-expression, Dr
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-04-20

Moore stated: ~There are two
 selves within us an. the higher and the lower: the perfect man, the image of God, and the fienidsh ego fn which there Co no yestige of di-
 vfnity. R0ssetti truly saw that we
 must be like God but he slipped

After weeks during which, for one reason and another, we hadn't heard Guy Lombardo's music, we managed to catch his Wednesday night commercial this week. It took only that single program to convince us further that Guy has the best aggregation of musicians in radio. Smoothness, melody, harmony and varicty-they're all part of the Canadians music. De- spite attempts at imitation, Lom- bardo stands alone in his field and no other band can even approxi- mate an approach to his unique style. Especially good Wednesday were the Lombardo versions of the old hit. "I'll See You Again, the swaying Champagne Waltz, and the rising You're No Angel"

From the came publication we learn that Cab Galloway and his hi-de-ho are go- Ing over big in Britain, that Jack HyIton is trying to bring his smooth band to America, and that sAlice Faye, vallee crooner, is sAlice Fayre to Britishers.
 & Tony sacco, crooner with
 Madriguera's orchestra, has completed arrangements for the publication of his newest
 tune. It's already being pre-
 pared for tine printing press
 by one of the largest music
 houses fin Gotham and will be on saIe very soon. The song is ssThe Wind Is Bringing My
 Lover Back to Me-, and 1t has the pofentialities of a big hit. The last time Tony was in town he warbled the song for ms. and even with Q simple
 guitar background, it was
 swelegant ditty. Words and music are blended nicely, and the middle part, weak spot of
 most songs, is especially good.
 And stuff. Yvette Rubel, back from Europe, is doing some listenable singing over NEG. One of the best arrangements we've heard of the tango, "Or- chids Tn The Moonlight" was done the ether night by studio or chestra accompanying Robert Sim mons. The strings carried the melody against background of soft brass. A big bow to Ford Bond for his excellent mar rations of the New York teams baseball games over NEG each night.
 Among the persons who
