CORRECT ENGLISH
 CLASS ORGANIZED
"" Sponsoring Special Courses for Fall-Winter
 Months

A class in vocabulary building and Correct English will begin Wednesday evening, September 26 at o'clock at the YMCA. It will be under the direction of John G. Gilmartin who is the author of many books on this subject and who has been conducting courses in vocabulary building in this city and throughout the state for number of years.
 The aim of this course is to help the students acquire a vocabulary of sufficient scope and strength so that they will experience no diffi- culty in expressing themselves when called upon to speak or to write.
 Due to the New Webster Diction ary which was published this sum- mer, the course this year will be of far more interest and import ance than in the past as it will enable the members to be among the first to learn the many changes in pronunciation that have been made. s Y
 The lessons will be of one hour duration, once a week for a per iod of twelve weeks. There will be no compulsory answering or home work. Everything pertaining to the course will be voluntary. Anyone whose business prevents him from doing outside study will sfind his vocabulary greatly improved and strengthened by merely attending the class and listening to the re- sponses given by the students as all the work will be oral.
 The opening lesson will be free so that prospective students and all interested in the improvement of their vocabulary may have an opportunity to see the type, of work that will be undertaken during the term. I
 If any further information rel ative to the course is desired. 1t may be obtained by communicat- ing with Arthur Purinton of the local YMcA.

STORM DAMAGES
 THOMASTON CAMP
One Hundred Feet of CCC Road Washes Out
 Completely

Thomaston, Sept, 24.-Monday's rain storm hit Camp Roberts with a bang. Entry to the camp via the bridge entrance soon became i'm possible, the brook rising two feet above the structure of the bridge, washing the road completely out for a distance of one hundred feet Fortunately the north exit re- mained undamaged and save for a slightly more circuitous route traf- fic in and out of camp went on as usual. The ordinarily peaceful brook in back of the officers and forester's quarters turned into 2 raging river in short space of time, carrying with it in it's tor rential progress tons of rocks and boulders that washed away great stretches of it's banks. The only serious damage to the camp itself, however, was suffered by the of- ficers' and forester's mess hall when nearly half of the foundation was washed away laying several feet of the building suspended with out support over the stream. All day Tuesday and Wednesday crews under Foreman Falvey and Leader Harry McKusick of Morris labor ed on the bridge and south en- trance and by Wednesday noon their work had progressed so far that trucks passed in and out of camp again as usual.
 Charles Reed, Connecticut's champion CCC axeman, left Thurs day accompanied by Homer c. Neal, camp superintendent, for the Eastern States Exposition to com pete for the New England CCC chopping championship.
 Rosario Fella of New London, who was operated on at the New ington Veterans hospital, was wis., ited on Wednesday by Captain Parideans and pr Oliver, camp surgeon, and found in splendid condition. Fella will return to the company within a few days.
 The end of this month will be farewell to 20 members of the 175th company. This is the small est number of men to be discharg- ed at the termination of an en- rollment period at this camp.
 The monthly camp dance held in the recreation hall was again a huge success. The camp orches- tra augmented by two outside musicians turned in very credit able performance.
 Rev Murray T. Hunter of the Methodist Episcopal church of Thomaston conducted vesper serv- ice in camp last Sunday. The largest attendance so far was on hand. The reverend's visit to camp was very much appreciated by both officers and men and we hope we shall see more of him in the fu- ture.

Overshadowing Johnson's per- sonal fortunes as he returns to the job is the bitter dispute develop ing between labor and industry over NRA's future. Disagreement centers around section Tea, the na- tional industrial recovery act guar antee that labor shall have the right to bargin collectively.

THE VALLEY LAY SMILING
 BEFORE ME" ''The valley lay smiling before me- An Irish bard once wrote this song As he gazed on the vale with its beauty Between ranges gray-peaked and long, Over miles you may view like the poet Stretches of hedged fields emerald green; Nestlng towns are part of the landscape While far off rbboned streams may be seen In the background purple heather and grey rock Softly blend on the mountain top bleak As YOU gaze on the valley below you Across to far-distant peak. And there's quiet and peace in the valley Where none makes fuss about it all, Where the Irshman takes his scenery for granted Smiling valley and mountains so tall.
