Yet is ever true youth does not

Editor of The Democrat:
Memories are ever q part OF our
lives and being. All OF US are Inn
bued with thoughts and recollec-
ton Of yesterday and the day be-
fore. Maybe we travel back to
youth and yesterday when we, II
maybe, lived in some little country
village and in a picture of our own
creating we see as In a dream some
little school day sweetheart who
has wondered down the pathway OF
life and whose hair has taken on
the color of the driven snow. We
see her sitting in a little rocking
chair and with the evolution OF
time we see youthful faces of some
who come in to see grandma, for
tine has moved on and will not be
denied. This Is all so real, and IL
typical of life and its many chang
es.
We count that day lost. whose
low descending sun views from our
hands no worthy action done
When we are young we look for

the coming of the great tomorrow
Time is the cradle of hope. We all
come or are sent into the world for
a purpose and each one of US fills
our allotted space. We move on
with time but we look back with
q wistful longing to those Other
days when we were young and
carefree. Age Is but q matter OF

That Waterbury is still very much
parade conscious was definitely proved
Saturday afternoon when the German
American societies of the state marched
through our main streets in gala attire. It
was a great day for the saengerfest and
even those who were not at all concerned
about the event caught the festive spirit
of the occasion and responded accordingly.
In the last year or two this little old town
has been treated to taste of the days
when parades were common and no month
passed without some sort of public DEM
onstration. Nice affairs they were, too.

To Editor OF the Democrat:
In answer to the editorial in

l wish to say that this Is one OF
the most naive statements that !
have read In some time. For an
experienced newspaper writer, a

developments, or, IL that under

crate hiding of the real meaning of
the Crusaders. l am inclined to
the opinion that the understanding

Following is the Marxist, the
Communist analysis of the Crusad-
ers: Firstly, under our form of
government all living beings are
divided into two classes, the cap
italist class and the working class.
the employers and the workers.
A worker has but one thing to
sell, namely, his labor power.
When a worker applies for a job,
he endeavors to sell his labor
power for as much as possible.
The employer endeavors to buy
this labor power for as little as
possible. This process OF buying
and selling labor power has pro-
duced these two classes, the cap
italist class and the working class.

the capitalist class is not In the In

GERMAN STEEL
CONTRACT IS
CANCELLED

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 uN.S0.
The steel piling to be used in the
construction of the Triborough
bridge here will be of American
manufacture and not Of German
importation.
Because of the nationwide
storm of protest that arose when
the placing Of the $4,000 order
for the steel abroad became
known, the contractor, the Wood
crest Construction Company, has
Cancelled its German subcontract
and placed a new order for the
steel with the Jones g. Laughlin
Corporation Of Pittsburgh.
Henry Hack, vice president OF
the Koechner Steel Corporation,
the German firm which was to
have furnished the piling for the
bridge, declared his company
would not insist that the contract
be carried out, but added:
"If American steel Is used, 1t
will mean a complete change in
the type Of construction. The
fact cannot be disputed that the
steel Of German design is the
only steel available of sufficient
strength to meet the needs Of
this situation.
with steel Of American design,
the roadway will need additional
bracing. The job will probably
cost about $4,000 more and will
be more hazardous to the work
ingmen."
Spokesman for the American
Iron and Steel Institute denied
this, however, and said the sub
Stitution Of American steel would
not delay completion Of the
bridge.
Cancellation Of the contract
followed on the heels Of the ban
ming by the Board Of Education
of the use Of French cement on
school construction.
