In New York
BY PAUL HARRISON

New York, July 24--Meander-
ings: Messrs Ben Hecht and Char
ley Macarthur are figuring on a
movie about a redskin who de-
mands that this country be given
back to the Indians. A fantasy, of
course. Indians are much smarter
than they used to be.
Up in the Yorkville section Of
Manhattan lives a Nazi leader who
has been especially busy with anti
Semitic activities. Some of his foes
have worked out a little campaign
of discouragement. Three Jewish
newspapers reach him every day by
mail, and Nazi neighbors are be-
ginning to look at him with suspi-
cion. Pacages which he probably
suspects are bombs, turn out to be
gufuelte fish. Telegraph messengers
bring him invitations to speak at
various Jewish meetings. And at
all hours of night his telephone
is kept ringing by people who ask
to speak to Mr.. Goldstein, or Mr..
Mankowitz or Mr.. Cohen.

Burmuda to talk about a movie

Disorderly Cities

Detroit's City Council is on rampage
about the cluttering up of the principal
streets. No, it's not litter nor refuse that
is being thrown into cutters, for Detroit
has a sufficient STRENGTHENING force to
cope with any such problem as this and it's
reputation in the past has been mighty
clear city. But Detroit is concerned
about unsightly lines of business along
various streets. A list of once attractive
streets which should be restored to their
former state is being prepared and the
Council will pass some sort of zoning
ordinance to eliminate the eyesores.
1t is recognized that every line of bus
mess has right to existence and proper
facilities. But q well-ordered city, like a
well-ordered home, doesn't scatter every
sort of activity and equipment all over the
place. The automobile industry and the
depression together have almost ruined
many American cities, as regards appear
ance. Auto junk-yards and home-wreck-
ing outfits are scattered along main thor
oughfares and invading good residential
and business districts. One such estab-
lishment can ruin adjoining property
values for some distance and the ugliness
and devaluation spread like contagious
disease.
Fortunately Waterbury has not expert
enced the same difficulty as Detroit along
these lines, although we have seen
examples of what the Auto City is fight
ing in Connecticut. Good coming laws,
we'll enforced; can cope with this prob
lem. There is always opposition to such
CONTROL but once in force it works harm to
none and benefits all. The junk business,
like many other lines, flourishes best when
it is segregated, so that everyone want
ing to buy or dispose of anything in that
line knows where to go.

Reports from the Philadelphia sector
of Pennsylvania indicate an enormous
number of Japanese beetles there this
summer. So far as we know Connecticut
is remarkably free of them this summer.
But down there people are being bothered
with the bugs which litter the streets and
even the persons of passersby. It is too
bad that science cannot once and for all
produce something that will end such
pestilences as those of the bugs.

Waterbury is singularly fortunate that
no trace of the dread Dutch elm disease
has yet been reported in our midst. We
hope that the day will never come when
any of this city's magnificent elms will
be found to have contracted the blight,
which to date has not responded to treat
ment. Once an elm is stricken it must be
destroyed so that chances of the disease
spreading to other elms will be lessened.
This includes not merely cutting down
the elm, but also completely burning every
bit of it. We have been waiting the day
when the blight reaches New Haven, for
the next step will then be Waterbury.
Thank heavens, it is still in the future.

Motor travel between the United States
and Canada has reached the point where
entrance into either country is compare
lively simple. Native-born citizens ex-
perience no trouble in passing into Canada
under the limited-stay privileges now in
existence. Not even passport is demand
ed if you intend merely to pass through
certain parts of Canada and then recross
the border. And no special permits are
needed for automobiles. Of course that is
understood to be for a reasonable period
of time, usually construed as six months.
And all sorts of equipment may be brought
into Canada without being subjected to
duty. The list is quite lengthy and in
elusive. Naturalized citizens and resi-
dents of the United States, not citizens
thereof, should be prepared to present
vouchers of their legal status.

These pupils are Dorothy Joseph,

in addition to the students named
the class as group has the best
combined average for the school
year.
In dramatics the class has a group
that equals, if not excels, any SINH
lar group in the school, Laurence
Sharp, William Marvel, Edward
PlOtts, Burton Colt, Anderson Tim
mons, Vivian Shute, Frances Shock
ley, Madeline Davis, Fay Ferguson,
and Louise Davis are the devoted
followers of the drama. Among other
activities along this line was the
presentation of Listen to Leon" the
funniest of the plays in recent years.
In athletics the class has been a
tower of strength to Milford High.
Indeed it may be said that without
the help of some of the members of
this graduating group many victor
les would have been decisive de-
feats. In football there are three
who have stood out: Pierce Watson, /
a fast, hard charging linesman who
was converted into a fullback; En-
win Harder, fast and shifty half /
back, and George Strahle, who play
ed three years as a guard, but who
was unable to complete his Senior
year on the team because of the
press of farm work, In baseball,
Laurence Sharp, Anderson Timmons
and Erwin Harder have been key
men. Harder, a third baseman, was
converted into a pitcher and would
have been consistent winner ex-
cept for poor support. Sharp. an out
fielder, is generally recognized as
the teams leading slugger. TimmOns
has been used at second and short,
although it was at the latter position
that he was most effective.
In track and field, Sharp and Wat
son have been point winners in ev-
cry meet.
Ruth Ann HOlzmueller and Mar
garet Whaley are the senior girls
who have won a place in the records.
In both basketball and track and
field they have excelled. Ruth Ann
set a county and State record in the
baseball throw and was forward in
for four years, captain
ing the team her last year. Margaret {
was a member of a relay team that {
won at Harrington. In basketball [
she has played center for four years, I
being kept out of games only be- |
cause of an injury. S
In the social activities the entire h
group has been active. There are d
lew affairs i'm town or school that v
do not find the seniors well repre- b
sented. Bakes, sales. campaigns and
contests have found them "eady to \
serve. e
In the defamation contests tine il
class has presented winners in two 2
years: Betty Risler and Dorothy v
in 1884 and Burton o.
iOlt and Anderson TimmOns in 1885. al
From the generally well-rounded
of this likeable group, one N
an readily see that the seniors are pl
yell prepared to defend the chal-
snge of any other group as to their d
ctivity. Not only does this activity WI
ldicate wide-awake. responsible te
upils, but it also indicates shat they
