GOING BACK HOME

Ships sailing for Europe have for
some time contained a good many
former immigrants. who were re-
turning to their old homes. and do
ing so voluntarily. They had come
to America with high hopes. 1t had
been pictured to them as land of
promise. where anybody could earn
living and very likely get rich.
Probably most of them have lost
their illusions. and concluded that
they could do as well in their little
old home place back in some OBJ
scure corner of Europe.
A good many immigrants have re-
GREETED the ardent hopes of youth
that led them to try the venture of
life in the new world. Some of them
gave up good little chances in their
old homes. They did not realize
what handicaps they were up against
in new land, where they did not
know peoples ways or habits, and
in many cases did not know the
language.
The disappointment of these peo-
pie is suggestion that as a usual
thing. people accomplish the best
success if they start life in the en-
vironment with which they are ia
miliar.
There are many backward coun-
tries in various parts of the world. /
where there will nOmetime be a
chance for people to go and earn
good living by developing those
places. But at present conditions
are usually so unsettled. in these
lands, that they are not attracted for
newcomers. II
People commonly do better to set
tie down in their own locations,
where they have friends, where they {
know the ways of the people, than
to wander off to remote places. This 4
applies to our natives. as well as
to foreigners who would like to mi !
CRATE to the United States. If peo- ,
pie cant make good in their home '
environment. the chances of their ]
making good elsewhere are not |
good. Il

THE RAGGED TOWN

a ragged salesman Will not sell
many goods. Some few may buy
from him ont of sympathy, but as a
rule people win say that If his
clothes are ragged, his goods must
also be defective.
This applies to the appearance of
a community also. II a town toler-
ates serious defects in the appear
ance of its business places and
homes, outsiders will get the idea
that the place is running down. Not
many people care to come in to trade
in such place. They go elsewhere.
Also they are not attracted to seek
homes or business chances in such
a community. The town must spruce
up TO sell its products, just as the
salesman has to.

MUSICAL TROUPE
 SCORES SUCCESS
Cavalcade of Music at Ful= ton Park Seasons
 Outstanding Hit

More than $500 persons heard the Cavalcade of Music as it was presented at Fulton park last night by Harry Brinkman, the EZRA orchestra and guests soloists. In- strumentalists and vocalists gave excellent accounts of their talents. The characters were presented by Joseph Burns supervisor at Fulton para playground and the entire, program was heard over a wide area due to an simplifying system installed for the occasion.
 Among the principals who were heard on the well balaneed pro- gram were Joseph Sauchelli trom- bone stylfst; Tony Collela, Caval- cade vocal soloist; Wilfred De- Vincent, trumpet soloist; the Four Rhythem Kings; Frank Ortone, violinist, and Joseph Lezotte, bari tone. The orchestra consisted of 20 pieces and was under the per- sonal direction of Harry K. Brink man.
 Special bleachers erected in the park were filled at an early hour, and more than 1000 persons were content to form their own lawn parties while many others were forced to stand. So numerous were the people that several hundred gathered outside of the space de- voted to the playground.
 The concerts are presented un- der the auspices of the park de- partment in different sections ever Tuesday night. Plans are in progress at this time to have the Cavalcade present the program in the various sections of the city during the next few weeks and pre- pare for a grand concert to take place later at Library park. The musical numbers played include the very latest in popular songs with . variety of classics.

Low Accident Total

The town had another clean slate yesterday as far as accidents and arrests are concerned, accord ing to police at the state barracks on Main street.
 The accident total has been low thus far this summer here despite the fact traffic has been heavy. Several times only good fortune der the trolley bridge over Main street. Many autoists driving south turn this curve at a fast rate of speed although they cannot see whether or not another car is com ing. Only recently truck going south sped around this curve and coupe going north went at a very fast rate. The coupe just managed to squeeze by the truck, almost scraping the cement in the abut- ment of the bridge.
 The fact the state police are To- cated in town is believed to be one of the main causes of lower acci- dents than in other years. Speed CTS are more willing to proceed slowly when they realize they are not far from police headquarters.
 To Meet Friday Registrars Ruth Carroll and Agnes Bowe will meet Friday to receive applications of persons wishing to be made voters. They will be in the town hall from noon until g D. m. It is expected a large number will enroll this year. Fri day, August g, will be the last meeting date of the registrars.
 More are expected to enroll then than on this Friday.
 Chance to Learn History
 An exhibit of several articles concerning the early history of Beacon Falls and display of town reports is being shown at the Bea- con Falls library in connection with the tercentenary celebration in the state.
 The history of the old Center bridge, which is now being re- placed by modern one, is given in one of the articles. Both old and young should be interested in the exhibit, it allowing the very old residents to recall old times and giving the younger residents more information concerning the back ground and history of the town in which they reside. Miss Maude Eggleton, librarian, has chosen the exhibit with much care.

street committee of the board and Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley and discussed the mat ter.
 They agreed to ask the board to approve six-foot sidewalks with cement curb and gutter. The ap- proximate price was set by the borough engineer at $1.25 a rum ming foot. They overrode the op- position of Clarence Austin who represented the Brockway-Nauga- tuck company.
 Mr. Austin rose to object to put ting in the walks saying his com- pany which has 800 feet of walk near the Rubber avenue end of Cherry street put in new walks there only two years ago and does not feel it desirable to replace them so soon. Borough Engineer Beardsley said although the sur. face of part of this section seems good the curbing is not in good shape.
 Dennis J. German, former su- perintendent, said he didn't think an exception should be allowed. John Brannigan, MT. German said, had his sidewalk fixed only re- gently, but was willing to have the work done over and other owners of small stretches on the street are in similar position, he said.
 Mrs. James Cuddy said their sidewalk was recently done, but she did not want to stand in the way of the others and would be willing to have it again laid.
 Use It Elsewhere
 MT. Beardsley said that when the borough board took up the matter, they would first have to find where the money to pay cer- tain expense which would be on the town would come from. The PWA is expected to pay for labor but there are some men with ex- perience who will be put on the job at the towns expense.
 MT. German said "the town has found plenty of money to build stone walls out in the country. They can use it on Cherry street for change" It was brought out no government money, that is no EZRA projects has yet been spent on the Cherry street section. Resi- dents opposed bluestone as a ma- terial.
 MT. Brannigan stated in his opinion it would not be long be- fore the town will have to take over sidewalks here, construct and maintain them and pay them by extra taxation on all residents.

Naugatuck, July 31. Police were still looking today for the thief or thieves who broke into Schweren's grocery store on Rub- Der avenue near the corner of Hoadley street Monday night. The thieves took about four dollars in coins which was in the cash regis ter and stole several cartons of cigarettes.
 They are believed to have ef- fected entry by breaking a window in the front of the store. This is the second time within three months that burglary attempts have been made there. Somebody tried to get in the back door some time ago but was frightened away when the proprietor heard the noise and investigated. Police did not announce the latest theft.
 Arthur Casner of Hines street, West Haven was today fined $10 and costs of $10.26 on a charge of operating a motor vehicle without a license and $5 for passing red light. This was the only case in borough court today. Casner was arrested last night by Patrolman Wilfred Evon, Judge Joseph E.. Talbot presided.

Wonder About Change

Many local residents are won- dering how many, if any, off, cials now employed by the EZRA will retain work under the Works Progress administration whether or not inauguration of that administration here may mean the end of or renewal of political hostility in this connection.
 According to state reports, the EZRA bureaus are to be abolished and control to pass to the borough administration. Last year the EZRA was severely criticized here at times by Warden John J. Sheri- dan who said 1t tried to hamper his administration in several ways
 Harris Whittemore, Jr., and Warden Sheridan once clashed fiercely at a meeting of the EZRA advisory board. MT. Whittemore is administrator of the EZRA.
 Naugatuckians are wondering whether MT. Whittemore will have any control of the WPA organiza- ton here and in what capacity Christian Groh, who two years ago was the center of political con- troversy because of his position in the CWA and EZRA as supervisor will serve, if he is kept at all.
 There has not been the same surface hostility in the past six months between the administra. ton and EZRA heads which was evident last winter. According tc some information received, sal. aries of supervisors under the WPA will be considerably less thar under the EZRA so Mr. Groh, Vic. tory Anderson and others, if re. tained, may be in for wage reduc' tions.
 The EZRA advisory board vii meet with the board of warden and burgesses next Monday afternoon at the town hall. This is the first time the two boards have met to- gather. Announcement of contem- platei changes is expected.
 MT. Whittemore was unable to attend the advisory board meeting Monday and other members could not attend it during the remaining days of this week so next Monday was the nearest suitable date.
