Tents To Be Taken Down Soon; Youths
 Sadly Disappointed
Foreign Delegates Already in Capital City to Be Enter tained By Committee '''They Can't Do That to
 Us" Asserts Local Lad Upon Receiving News

The national jamborie which was to have brought together sO.O0O Boy Scouts from all sections of the country and from several United States territories next week at Washington. D. C., has been defin- itely cancelled, authorities at the local council office in the Brown building said today.
 It had been hoped that the pro- nouncement last week was only in the nature of. a postponement and that the jamboree would be held later in the season after the infan- tile epidemic had been checked. An outbreak of new cases in the sec- ton, however, has caused national officials to completely abandon plans for the huge encampment.
 Hospitals DismantIed
 The thousands of tents erected within the sight of the Washing ton monument will be taken down. sewage disposal systems and com missaries and hospitals will he dismantled. Scouts from other. countries who had already arrived in the national capital and others who are on their way will be en- tertained at Washington as guests of the national committee in order to make up for the disappointment of missing the jamboree, while plans are already in progress for some sort of substitute observance for the thousands of boys who comprised the jamboree contin- gents of cities in every state of the country.
 Until further information is re- ceived from national headouarters. it Is not known what will be of- fered the local contingent in the way of a substitute. The 32 mem- bers of the Waterbury troop were given the latest news from Wash ington today in letters from the scoutmaster, Milton Huffman and John Burrall. president.
 Taking It Hard
 According to Miss Charlotte Henry, secretary at the local off, flee, the boys are deeply disap- pointed, and are by no means hes itant in saying so.
 'fAfter looking forward to the jamboree for several months, it is hard to make them see the un- doubted necessity for the cancella- tion," she said. Miss Henry said the opinion of the entire troop was well illustrated the other day by one of the lads who dropped in at the council office.
 ''They can't do that to us!" he said.

WHAT FATHER
 COUGHLIN SAID

Boston, Aug. 13-(UP) The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin. radio priest, thinks the New Deal defeat in the Rhode Island first district congressional election will not be repeated in other sections of the country. Father Coughlin called on Governor Curley and addressed the state legislature here yester- day while enroute to Great Bar rington to visit college class mate. He ascribed the election of Charles F. Risk, republican, to a consumers revolt. "The Rhode Is- land election," he said, twas a blow at the mismanaged New Deal, but not at the New Deal as it was conceived.

Settlers Village Itemettes

Do mine eyes deceive me? Is that
 it there? If I sleep let my dreams he happy. The age-old struggle for the com
 mon fare Of life, and attendant ills have
 robbed me Of the finer feelings, the artists
 touch, The beauty of life. But the feeling That nothing new in this earthly
 orb Could prove so sane, so calm, so
 healing, Has been dispelled from my worldly
 mind And I feel after all perhaps life is
 kind. With your white-washea walls and
 low-thatched roof You bring me back the joys ot
 childhood. For too long years I have held
 aloof From memory's walks in the wild
 wood Of my native heath, and the stone
 in the hearth Where God deigned me the right of
 birth. You've recalled old scenes, old
 times, old views, You've brought back my youthful
 vision. Imbue that hillside with unselfish
 love And earn the reward that comes
 from-Above. If I miss the smoke of the old turf
 fire And the moo of the homing COW It's too much to ask that life's en- Hopes be filled in the wink of a
 brow. The colleens have danced upon To the strains of the tunes of their
 race And that is sight, hope. ween Memory shall never efface. A toast to you from my souls
 highest dream. You seem somewhat noble, be what
 you seem. In good company there in an alien Chastened and broadened by sor-
 rows Your next-door neighbors have felt
 the toll Of the pillage, the scaffold, the ar-
 rows That tyrants used to gain their
 power. But now you are all within Lib-
 erty's tower Prove yourself worthy of the
 higher ideals. Your blood has oft flown to let
 Freedom sway. Your nature, your history, your
 heart, appeals For the liberties inherent to the
