The annual Scout drive is on in Water bury and there should be no need by now to make any special plea to the public of the city to support 1t. By this time we are all so familiar with scout work and it's fine effect on the boys and girls of the country that whenever there is made mention of seeking funds to carry on the scout program almost everyone is pre- pared to give and generously, too. Scout work in Waterbury is no different from that of other large industrial cities. We are pleased to see from time to time that local scouts, both boys and girls, are keeping pace with the troops established in other communities. Knowing all this and realizing the benefits to be derived from participation in such activities we cannot help but feel that the annual scout drive will finish in blaze of glory.

Oppressed Italy

OppHeSScu AUAAy
 The result in Italy was . cone viction that the British were the natural enemies of Italy, that they had determined to throttle Italy's natural growth, that they themselves yearned for the prize of Abyssinia.
 In fact, Italian public opinion has now come to the point where 1t even does not consider Italy the aggressor in Abyssinia, but as the potential victim of Q robbery by England. Italians consider themselves the oppressed, just as they did when they struggled to liberate themselves from Austyia and the Papacy.
 THUS MUsSOLINI GOT WHAT HE WANTED.
 Whether he also wanted, or even expected, such vehement retaliation by Great Britain only he can answer.
 But when the final story of the Italian tragedy is written, one of the most important chapters will be . description of how . national propaganda machine, in full control of the press, remade the viewpoint of the Italian people.

 "We're backward in New Jer. sey," Governor Hoffman said. We have an inferiority complex. We are lax in advertising our own recre' ational, commercial and comnuf1- ity attractions. We don't adver- tise as much as we should.
 "That is why urge Jersey men to get together and work toward q basic comparable with other states. We should form New Jersey council to bring together the var ious organizations on Q co-opera- tive basis, to build up Q fund. Such Q group could attract those who seek recreation, those who wish to start industrial or coinfner' cial enterprises, and those who want to establish homes.

 The Editor of
 The Waterbury Democrat:
 For ten years I have been trying to make Connecticut business lead- CTS recognize that opportunity in the form of tourist business is knock ing at our door: and while we have not shown much inclination to open that door to opportunity we have definitely established that tourist business is already worth millions of dollars of new money each year to the state.

NO SORROW AT PASSING OF SOUTH MAIN
 TR0LyEYS

AesOAfsz-@@
 Waterbury, Conn,
 Nov. 20, 1885. Editor, The Democrat:
 Goodbye and good riddance to the trolleys on South Main street. This may be c premature farewell, yet I'd wager Q pretty penny that the Connecticut company won't dare insult the intelligence and pa- tience of South Main street resi- dents by removing the busses and returning the trolleys to service. I'm sure the trolleys have been banished forever. They blocked traffic, causing bad jams. They made Q lot of noise and seriously interfered with good radio reception. The tracks were (and still are) hazardous on rainy days. Since the busses have been in operation the flow of traffic has been smooth and swift. Sieepers are not awak- ened early in the morning. And 1t is Q joy to sit back and dial your favorite radio program. And just recently when fire apparatus blocked the street the bus service was not interrupted as the busses detoured temporarily.
 I am cognizant of the opinion Of The Democrat in regard to the re- moval of the trolleys permanently and I offer my congratulations. And the merchants on South Main street, I feel quite sure, will join me as their business has shown inl- provement since the trolleys were discontinued.

CCC campers at East Hampton must have thought a gusher had struck their camp early one morning last week. About 4 a. m. when only the cook was stirring something happened. An artesian well driller was in operation with one lone man watching it. The drill had gone down over 300 feet without hitting water. Suddenly the drill dropped deeper than ever; then it shot out of the hole followed by fountain of water. It gushed toward the sleeping camp. Hurriedly ringing an alarm bell the drill operator aroused the boys in time to save the place from being inundated. Trenches soon carried off the surplus water The well is now capped.
