 William Schwabe of Thompson
 vile, president of the state build- ing and loan association and a I member of the executive board of the United States Building and Loan association was the speaker
 today at the noon luncheon of the
 local campaign committee for the drive for new members started yes- terday by the league.
 MT. Schwabe gave many inter esting facts about the state and national organization. The meeting
 was held in Elks hall. Reports of
 fine progress in the first day were made by team captains.
 The campaign got off to a good start yesterday with George B. Woolson, president of the local as- sociation telling the committee
 members everybody in town will be affected by the drive. A goal of 1000 new members with an aver- age of three or four shares each is the objective of the committee. George Graham, drive chairman, pointedt out that }many people in Naugatuck want to build now and this drive is expected to provide funds which will help remedy the
 bad housing situation here. MT. Woolson said that on April 1922, a get-together meeting of
 members of the Chamber of Com-
 merce was held and the Building
 and Loan Association idea sug- gested at that time. A committee
 consisting of the late T. W. Ahern
 and r. w. Swenston and MT. Wool
 son investigated and in May 1922
 the association was formed. With the support of the Cham
 Der of Commerce, MT. Woolson
 continued, a drive to sell shares was launched and the organizers
 were amazed by the rapid re- sponse.

State Tagging

Connecticut is tagging in invest ments in building and loan asso- ciations compared to other states, the speaker said. New Jersey has $900,O00,000 invested in shares whereas there are only $26,000,- 900 invested in this state. The as- sociatiOn is a cooperative insti- tuition aimed to aid would-be home owners and has nothing to conceal. It offers an extremely high rate of interest and is second only to government bonds in security, with the latter paying much lower in- terest rate, Mr. ,Woolson asserted The interest of building and loan investments is per cent.
 E MT. Woolson thanked the Cham Der Of Commerce for its support in the drive, MT. Graham urged mem bers not to sell too many shares to individuals, the purpose being to get many new members. He said circulars have been distribu- ted and urged the salesmen not to try to sell a prospect more shares than he wishes to buy.

Quick Response


 A total of 2514 shares were sold in three days and instead of rum ming the drive for a week, the drive ended abruptly for. the. direc- tors did not see what they would do with all the surplus money.

 was issued and a third in June, 1923. In the early part of 1884 when shares in the first, second and third series matured, the sum of $211,814.78 was paid share holders, MT. Woolson stated. Div idends since the, organization was instituted amount to $254,939.
 On March 1. 1885, there were 706 shareholders in the associa- tion, the president told the com mittee members. There were 1865 single payment shares and 5663 installment shares. A loan of ,$6000 is the highest the association will give on any property, and $250 is the lowest that has yet been loaned. The organization had as- sets of $606,000 its last statement, made Dec. 31, 1884, showed, MT. Woolson declared.
 The president, treasurer. vice. president and directors serve with out receiving any pay except a feeling of services to the commun- ity, the speaker continued. Edward J. Lingenheld, secretary. Is the only paid officer and he gets only slight compensation compared to the value of service he gives, MT. Woolson declared.
 MT. Woolson stressed the secur- ity the organization offered, saying state banking department officials investigated at regular periods and loans were only made on unen- cumbered real estate.

either came out of our pockets-or
must come out of them in the future,
when the deficit must be realistically
faced. Every nickel of it comes out of
the salaries of workmen, the slim
profits of industry, the meagre re-
turns paid investors. Billions that
could otherwise be used to provide ad-
ditional employment or raise wages,
to build factories, to expand old indus
tries and initiate new ones, go to the
tax collector.
Two billion dollars would create
100000 four -thousand-dollar homes.
1t would employ 1,666,666 men for a
year at wages of $1OO per month. 1t
would build 10000 one-hundred-thous-
and-dollar factories which could pro-
duce necessities and luxuries, up pur-
chasing power and provide jobs. If it
were simply divided equally, it would
give every man, woman and child in
this country SIG.
These illustrations give an idea of
the almost inconceivable rate at which
a single governmental unit is spending
the peoples money. And remember
that $2,OOO,OOO,OOO represents but
three months spending. State and To-
cal governments are equally prodigal.
Is it any wonder that authority after
authority says that tax reduction
would give the greatest possible spur
to recovery.

Of printing and engraving in those
days, but the effect on public opinion
of a caricature such as his Seventeen
Rescinders, portraying the entrance
into the jaws of hell of certain repre-
sentatives who failed to support the
cause of the colonies, was enormous.
Another had as it's subject the repeal
of the Stamp Act. His Boston Massa-
cre' is one of the most highly priced
of early American engravings. One
sold for $500 in 1901.
while he was, unconsciously y per-
haps, swaying public opinion by these
cartoons, Paul Revere left no stone
unturned in his conscious efforts to
aid the cause of independence. His
fiery French Huguenot blood boiled
with enthusiasm for the rights of the
colonists. 1t is known that he was
present and active at the Boston Tea
Party. He was frequently entrusted
by Hancock and Adams with impor-
tant missions which sent him gallop-
ing to New York and Philadelphia. He
well deserved his title, Messenger of
the Revolution
But, again, if one is considering
his more important-if less spectacu-

pendence his ability in other fields is
more praiseworthy than his horse

PAUL REVEREDID
MORE THAN RIDE

Paul Revere, the Revolutionary pa
triot, gained great fame because he
was immortalized in Longfellow's
poem, describing in vivid words his
race to warn the minute men" of the
coming of the red coats. But Paul
Revere was something more than an
equestrian, according to Mabel A.
Brown, who gives some account of
his other accomplishments and also
reminds US of the fact that William
Dawes "also rode" In the current is
sue of the National Republic Mrs.
Brown says in part:
paul Revere is one Of the most en-
gaging figures of American history.
Just how he would be regarded today
had Longfellow not thrust rhythmic
finger in the historic pie is an inter
esting speculation. Undeniably Paul
Revere's achievements are heroic
enough to inspire the poets praise. But
the famous midnight ride is one of the
least of these achievements, considered
solely as a contribution to the cause of
liberty.
Furthermore, the poem completely
ignores William Dawes! Descendants
of Mr.. William Dawes may justly feel
little sore at Longfellow because if it
hadn't been for Longfellow, school
children of today would perhaps be
told that there were two patriots who
rode forth to spread the alarm thru
every Middlesex village and farm on
that night in April, 1775. William
Dawes also rode; and not only rode
just as far, but preceded Paul Revere
by an hour. At Lexington they joined
forces, went on together, were cap
tured by the British, and later es-
capped, together! The two were friends;
each was the son of a goldsmith of
Boston.
"Why did Longfellow honor one and
not the other? Perhaps merely because
the name Paul Revere is more po-
etic than William Dawes ct should
be observed, in this connection, that
Appolos Revoire, father Of the hero
of the poem, finding when he landed
here in IT'S that his name was diff
cult for the Saxon tongue, changed it
to Paul Revere). Perhaps Paul Revere
was one of those persons who just
naturally get in the limelight. Proba-
bly, his deeds had not been entirely
unsung even before Longfellow singled
him out. His was too colorful and sue
cessful a career to have been forgot
ten quickly, and the poem was written
less than fifty years after Paul Re
vere's death.
paul Revere's influence on the po-
litical life of his time was first felt
through his caricatures. He had sue
ceeded to his fathers business, that
of goldsmith, and had early learned the
art of copperplate engraving. His out
put of pictures and cartoons was linn
tied because of the laborious process

In the matter of maintaining the

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Many Americans have felt that 1t
wouldn't be long until Uncle Sam was
blamed for the trouble between Italy
and Ethiopia. The process it seems
has already started. Declaring that
the League of Nations has been Grip
pied by the United States after Presi-
dent Wilson helped set it up, the To-
ronto Mail and Empire says in part:
"After his return home the nation
repudiated his commitments and de-
feated him at the polls. Ever since that
day the United States has maintained
the attitude of the Levite who passed
by on the other side. 1t is due to that
retrogade action that the League of
Nations had been crippled from the
outset-that is has been hamstrung in
all it's undertakings. Had statesmen
from Washington sat with the repre-
sentatives of other nations at Geneva
neither Japan nor Germany would
have left the League, and Italy today
would not be treating it with con-
tempt"
The Republican., 1935-11-14

But now when it looks like John
Bulls interests in Egypt might be
threatened by Mussolini's invasion,
Great Britain becames suddenly en-
thusiastic about the League. She de-
mands that it enforce sanctions and
do whatever is necessary to maintain
it's authority and stop Italy not be-
cause of poor Ethiopia, but because of
Egypt. Were trouble to break out in
Eastern Europe, Great Britain would
not be so interested in maintaining
the Leagues authority because no di-
rect British interests would be at
stake. And France and Italy, who
would demand League action if their
interests in Austria were affected,
would now prefer to have the League
ignore the African question.
